Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 462: Benboba

What was happening in the North Sea, Jiang Liu naturally didn't know.

Jiang Liu's gaze was strangely fixed on the White Dragon Horse as he pondered for a moment, then said, "Green Wave Pool? I haven't really heard of it, is there something wrong with this Green Wave Pool?"

Indeed, after thinking it over, what place was Green Wave Pool? Jiang Liu had absolutely no impression, and it seemed that it didn't really appear in the original text, did it?

Hearing Jiang Liu asking about the Green Wave Pool, the White Dragon Horse remained silent for a moment, seemingly struggling to speak.

After a long time, he finally spoke in a low voice, "In the Green Wave Pool, there lives a Dragon King called Dragon King Wansheng, who has a daughter named Princess Wansheng. Initially, initially..."

Toward the end, the White Dragon Horse seemed unable to continue speaking.

"Princess Wansheng? I see, now I understand..." Hearing the White Dragon Horse's words, Jiang Liu stirred slightly and then suddenly realized.

Jiang Liu might not remember Green Wave Pool, but this so-called Princess Wansheng he certainly understood, wasn't she the one whom Little White Dragon was supposed to marry?

He remembered that Little White Dragon was originally to marry Princess Wansheng, but what happened in the end? Hadn't Princess Wansheng ended up with the Nine-Headed Serpent and placed a green cap on Little White Dragon?

It also seemed that it was precisely because of this great shame that Little White Dragon, in a fury, had set fire to the Pearl of the Palace and thus had been convicted?

"This matter, it's really hard to say..." Thinking of Little White Dragon's situation, Jiang Liu muttered to himself darkly.

As the master of Little White Dragon, emotionally speaking, he naturally sided with him.

Your own wife being snared by a Nine-Headed Serpent? Any man, or rather, any male dragon would find such a disgrace unbearable, right?

However, actually thinking from Princess Wansheng's perspective, Jiang Liu pondered and felt perhaps she hadn't done anything wrong?

As the princess of Green Wave Pool, being married to the third son of the Western Sea Dragon King, she certainly married in style, but in the end, she ended up with the Nine-Headed Serpent.

The facts proved that the Nine-Headed Serpent truly loved Princess Wansheng; merely for her affection, the Nine-Headed Serpent dared to steal the Buddha Relic, the national treasure of Jisai Country.

Looking at it from the angle of Princess Wansheng and the Nine-Headed Serpent, it was essentially a fearless stand for romantic freedom, akin to a mythological version of Romeo and Juliet of the Journey to the West, wasn't it?

If you really had to say, neither Little White Dragon nor Princess Wansheng seemed to be at fault?

But alas, things had indeed escalated to such a state!

"Xiaobai, the incident from your past, I also heard about it roughly!" Sitting on the back of the White Dragon Horse, Jiang Liu thought for a moment and then spoke.

"Master, are you deceiving me?" However, regarding Jiang Liu's words, the White Dragon Horse shook his head, showing a look of disbelief.

Just now he had spoken of the Green Wave Pool, which he didn't know, and now he claimed he knew something about his own matters?

"Do you think your master is that kind of person? Your master never speaks falsehoods!" The words of the White Dragon Horse made Jiang Liu's face darken somewhat.

"Give it a rest..."

At this, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but interrupt, rolling his eyes and saying, "Master, others might not know about your relationship with Red Boy, but we disciples do. Yet, you had Red Boy help us not long ago and deceived everyone, and still you claim you never speak falsehoods?"

"Bajie, you seem to have gotten a bit swollen lately!?" Zhu Bajie exposing himself on the spot made Jiang Liu turn his head, his expression slightly dark as he looked at him.

"Swollen? Are you saying I, Old Pig, have gotten fat?"

However, Zhu Bajie looked down at himself, then immediately touched his big belly and said, "Master, even though I, Old Pig, have been eating and living well on this trip, I haven't felt any fatter!"

"Bajie!" Unable to catch his own joke, Jiang Liu wasn't surprised, but a smile appeared on his face, yet his gaze was quite dangerous as he said, "I know a few butchers whose craftsmanship is quite good; your master personally observed them once..."

"Tie up the big fat pig, place it on the butchering table, then with a bayonet, stab into the pig's throat to let the blood out! Just a moment later, about a large basin of blood flowing out, it dies, then it's placed in boiling water to scald the hair right off..."

"Speaking of it, pork is not just delicious, pig blood is actually quite tasty too! It feels like a long time since I've had any, today I'll have my friend slaughter two pigs, make two slabs of pig blood, and I'll cook a pot of pig blood soup for everyone? Right, putting a few slabs of pig blood in the hot pot is also very delicious, your master especially loves it!"

"Hehehe..."

Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Sun Wukong nearby couldn't contain his excitement, flipping twice in the air, grinning at Jiang Liu and saying, "Master, Master, I, Old Sun, like pig ears, remember to cut a pair of pig ears to put in..."

"Master, Monkey Brother, you..." Hearing Jiang Liu describe the steps of slaughtering a pig, and then listening to them discuss either pig blood or pig ears, Zhu Bajie's face turned pale, feeling a chilling sensation around his neck.

Could it be that the weather had turned colder, and I needed a scarf?

"I want to eat pig tails!" Sha Wujing, who had been silent all this while, suddenly chimed in with a muffled remark.

"You guys, you just like to bully the honest ones!" Surprisingly, even Junior Brother Sha had spoken up, leaving Zhu Bajie on the verge of tears.

At that moment, Zhu Bajie truly regretted it. Wasn't he the master's top follower? Why had he carelessly dared to wreck the master's plans today?

This was indeed looking for trouble for himself!

Quarreling, walking, and completing challenges, for Jiang Liu, this journey to the West was truly like traveling along the mountains and waters.

It had been more than two years since he came to the world of "Journey to the West." If it weren't for the cruel ending that awaited him at Spirit Mountain, wouldn't this journey to the West, filled with laughter and songs, seem quite nice?

"Alright, it's getting late, disciples, let's stop here and rest for a bit! Let's also have dinner," Jiang Liu said, looking at the sky where the sun was already leaning west, after just a verbal spar with Zhu Bajie.

While speaking, he took out the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, threw it to the ground, and it transformed directly into the form of the mansion.

"Master, I think we've been having a lot of rich food lately, which isn't good. We are, after all, from the Buddhist Sect. Tonight, let's eat something light? A pot of plain porridge will do!" Zhu Bajie suggested, following behind Jiang Liu into the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, partly because of what Jiang Liu had just said which had unsettled him a bit.

Seemingly worried that Jiang Liu might refuse, Zhu Bajie quickly added, "Master, for so long now, it's been you cooking for us disciples. Today, let me cook instead?"

"Huh? Dummy, can you even cook?" Sun Wukong asked Zhu Bajie in surprise.

"Big brother, second brother, wait a minute, let me go see where the sun is setting today!" Sha Wujing joined the conversation as he began walking towards the door, "It's the first time I've seen Second Brother so eager to work!"

"Bajie, since when did you learn to cook!?" Jiang Liu, too, was astonished as he looked at Zhu Bajie and asked.

"Master, I've always regarded you as my role model for learning. I've got the sweet nothings you say down pat, and I also want to learn well from you in cooking!"

Zhu Bajie looked earnestly at Jiang Liu and continued, "Master, you once said that to capture a woman's heart, one must capture her stomach. I think there's some truth in what you said, Master!"

"Well then, since you're so inclined, go and practice!"

Although Jiang Liu was very interested in delicious food, and it was the only thing he was willing to sacrifice his cultivation time for, if he could train Zhu Bajie's culinary skills well, it seemed like a perfect solution for Jiang Liu.

"Alright, Master, just watch my performance!" Hearing Jiang Liu's response and seeing that the master was also willing to teach him about cooking, Zhu Bajie's face was filled with joy as he nodded vigorously.

Zhu Bajie went off to the kitchen to get busy, and Jiang Liu was somewhat looking forward to seeing what Zhu Bajie's natural talent was like.

If he could train Zhu Bajie's culinary skills, he could enjoy delicious food without hindering his own cultivation time, which would be truly wonderful.

However, with Zhu Bajie handling the cooking, what should he do next?

Practice the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture? It seemed like cooking wouldn't take much time, and there was no need to tackle challenges, not to mention Zhu Bajie might come to ask him about some culinary knowledge.

After thinking it over, he casually sat down nearby, flipped his palm, and a nameless book appeared in Jiang Liu's hand.

It was the diary of the King of Women's Kingdom.

With nothing better to do, Jiang Liu opened the King of Women's Kingdom's diary.

The Queen had recorded everything she encountered in life and even her thoughts and reflections in the notebook.

Through these entries, Jiang Liu's understanding of the King of Women's Kingdom deepened bit by bit.

Never mind the activities inside the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, where everyone was busy with their own tasks, at that moment, a fish demon with the head of a fish and the body of a human, hopping and skipping joyfully, was passing by the side of the Exquisite Immortal Mansion.

"Hehehe, the Prince Consort is really thoughtful towards the Princess. I stealthily stole some fine rouge from the Royal Palace. If the Prince Consort gifts it to the Princess, she will surely be happy! Baboerben isn't as clever as I am, hehehe..."

Touching the fine rouge he had stolen in his pocket, the fish demon said with a giggly voice.

However, during his conversation, he glanced at the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, and his steps paused slightly.

"When I passed by here before, I didn't notice a house. Did this house appear out of nowhere?"
