Journey to the West: Treasure Vase of the Great Dao-Chapter 461 - 234 Humiliation

Lu Yu smiled and said, his demeanor and tone of voice perfectly mirroring that of the Little Demon beside him.

Even the Earth God couldn't help but exclaim, "Tea Saint really has some impressive moves!"

Lu Yu laughed, "The best way to hide a drop of water is to put it in the ocean. Earth God, come over here too."

The old Earth God approached with skepticism, only to see Lu Yu summon the Treasure Vase. He took a mouthful of Spiritual Water and gently sprayed it towards the Earth God. The mist rose and displayed a kaleidoscope of colors in the sunlight, slowly transforming the Earth God into the likeness of a Little Demon.

"They think in pairs, assuming even if I were to replace one, there would be no way to start. However, they overlooked you," Lu Yu said with a grateful look in his eyes. After all, had it not been for the Earth God's rescue, he would have already died on Lion Camel Ridge. This was the grace of saving his life.

The Earth God examined his own form carefully, then, with surprise, looked at the Little Demon standing beside him and said with a smile, "Tea Saint, your skill is unparalleled."

Lu Yu, however, shook his head slightly and said, "Compared to Monkey, it's still far off. It can only fool those who are unaware."

After all, acting requires talent, and in this respect, Lu Yu greatly admired Monkey. It seemed he was a natural-born best actor. The Art of Transformation in his hands was truly versatile, not just in mimicking speech and demeanor but even in imitating habits perfectly. Lu Yu often thought that this must be a racial talent.

But the old Earth God seemed to wander off into a reverie by himself, murmuring, "What kind of Art of Transformation would be worthy of such high praise from Tea Saint?"

"Haha, you'll get the chance to see it soon enough," Lu Yu said as he too looked up towards the east. According to his calculations, it wouldn't be long before Monkey and his company would arrive at Lion Camel Ridge, and that would be his opportunity to act.

With the help of the Earth God, Lu Yu successfully infiltrated the troops of the Little Demons at Lion Camel Ridge and began to linger in the mountains every day.

As time passed, the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge had given up looking for Lu Yu. They knew well that so much time had passed that it was enough for Lu Yu to have recovered from his injuries; to continue searching would be an exercise in futility.

In the depths of the cave dwelling on Lion Camel Ridge, the three demons sat side by side. Green Lion suddenly slammed his wine cup furiously onto the ground with a sharp clink, as the Little Demons around them remained silent, standing cautiously.

During this time, the three demons were irritable and quick to anger, and an unknown number of Little Demons met untimely deaths.

"Damn it, he still escaped," Green Lion said angrily. Just thinking about Lu Yu escaping made him feel a chill all over; the previous encounters had frightened him.

White Elephant also spoke gravely, "So much time has been enough for him to recover. Trying to keep him now is nothing but a fool's dream. It's our fault that we didn't seize the opportunity in the beginning and let him trick us."

Dapeng said nothing, but the cold light flashing in his eyes was enough to freeze anything. He was proud by nature and held a superior position on Mount Ling, and he had never experienced such humiliation before. Every time he thought about the recent events, he felt deeply humiliated. The name Lu Yu had almost become his Heart Demon; merely hearing it disturbed him greatly.

By this time, he couldn't help but squeeze the wine cup in his hand out of shape, throwing it downward. There was a loud 'bang' as it smashed a big hole in the hard rock floor of the cave dwelling.

"I'm going back to Lion Camel City!" he said coldly, then without looking back, he left the cave dwelling. Behind him, his golden wings unfurled and he soared upward, disappearing from everyone's sight.

"What does this mean? After everything that's happened, who is he trying to show his sour face to? Does he really think he's Tathagata's uncle or something?" Green Lion roared in anger.

"Brother, calm your anger. Our third brother is naturally proud but has been driven to this state by Lu Yu. It's normal for him to behave like this. His anger is not directed at us; it's mostly against himself," Bai Xiang said calmly, hurriedly holding back the impulsive Green Lion and trying to console him.

"He's angry, but am I not? That boy Lu Yu has humiliated me time and time again, treating me like a fish on the chopping board. It's an utter disgrace!" Green Lion bellowed, smashing the table, which made of Yellow Granite, into rubble with a blow.

Bai Xiang sighed deeply, "Who's to say otherwise? I always thought of myself as a rare genius in our race, always too proud to look down. Later, I was chosen by our ancestor to serve the Bodhisattva, rubbing shoulders with the most illustrious figures of all three realms, becoming even prouder."

"When I first saw Lu Yu, I looked down on him, thinking that a new Human Sage would have the gall to confront us. It was sheer recklessness. I never imagined I would nearly die at his hands and finally understood that there are always people better than oneself, and skies beyond skies," Bai Xiang continued.

Bai Xiang's words seemed to stir Green Lion's emotions as well. He, too, sighed deeply, looking at his dust-covered palm and said dejectedly, "A junior has cornered us to such a state. It's so shameful."

Outside the cave dwelling, the Little Demons also saw Dapeng's departing figure and immediately started discussing fervently. Naturally, the most talked-about individual was Lu Yu, who had shaken Lion Camel Ridge to its core.

"This Lu Yu looks so cultured and refined; how could he be so powerful? The three Great Kings have been pitifully tricked by him," said a Little Demon, looking at Dapeng's silhouette in astonishment.

"It's more than that. I heard the second Great King nearly died. How many powerful Demons from both Lion Camel Ridge and Lion Camel City have been vanquished by him," said another who knew a bit of insider information, with a fearful expression on his face.

"You know, the human race is really strange. There are those as weak as our daily fodder and yet there are people as unexplainably strong as Lu Yu. It's such a contradictory species," remarked a Little Demon.

At that moment, another Little Demon gently tapped Lu Yu's arm and said with a smile, "I've heard that Lion Camel Country is extremely majestic. I really want to go and see it with the third Great King."

"That's not a place for the likes of us to go. Only the powerful Demons are worthy of such travels. As for us, it's best to stay put in Lion Camel Ridge and live a carefree and happy life," Lu Yu shook his head and replied.

"Hey! What a lack of ambition. I refuse to stay in a godforsaken place like this where even the birds seem tasteless. I've heard that those Demons go out every so often to gather some food. Here, on the other hand, it's desolate all year round," the Little Demon said enviously.

He didn't notice the cold glint that appeared in his companion's eyes when he spoke of eating humans. That cold glint was like the chill of deep winter, but in a very short time, it turned into a warm spring breeze.

"I'm just afraid the third Great King wouldn't want the likes of us. After all, Lion Camel Country is looking for the elite," Lu Yu said with feigned lament.
