Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything

Unaware of time, Jiang Liu slowly opened his eyes, his gaze clouded with confusion, feeling as though his consciousness had not yet fully awakened.

After glancing around for a moment, his expression soon turned unsightly.

Jiang Liu only remembered living comfortably within the palace at the royal court, when suddenly in the middle of the night, a woman knocked on his door, claiming that the King of Women's Kingdom had fainted from crying and requested him to have a look.

Considering it was too late, he declined, suggesting they wait until dawn.

But who would have thought that the woman outside would actually push open the window and leap in, and even without giving him a chance to retaliate, he lost consciousness in an instant.

After surveying his surroundings, Jiang Liu realized that this was not the palace of the royal court, because although there were many exquisite tables, chairs, and other pieces of furniture, this place was not inside a palace, but rather in a mountain cave.

If the King of Women's Kingdom intended to capture him, wouldn't it be unlikely to keep him in a mountain cave?

"Who is this woman who captured me, exactly who is she!?" Jiang Liu thought, surprised that he hadn't even had a chance to resist before being subdued instantly.

After all, he was a Level 56 existence, which should be within the Returning Void Realm, right?

"Holy Monk, have you woken up?" Just as Jiang Liu came around, taking in his surroundings, suddenly, a woman dressed in a black gown approached.

Jiang Liu looked over, and his eyes instantly glazed over.

There's a saying, "Three thousand beauties are no match in color," and upon observing this woman, Jiang Liu found his gaze to be as if magnetically drawn, unable to shift away.

Beautiful, seductive, charming, bewitching...

Looking at the woman before him, his mind reflexively conjured these words, which aptly represented her all-encompassing allure.

To put it simply, Jiang Liu had seen quite a few beauties, such as Gaoyang or the King of Women's Kingdom, both of whom were devastatingly attractive; but the beauty of this woman before him surpassed them all.

What's more, her mere presence exuded an indescribable attraction.

Regarding appearance, Jiang Liu had always been confident; after all, as one of the handsome figures of Journey to the West, he was incredibly good-looking.

Yet, in the presence of this woman, Jiang Liu felt a sense of shame about his own looks.

Already breathtakingly beautiful, this woman, clad in a black dress, showcased a tantalizing figure beneath her garment, its outline intermittently visible, inciting a rush of desire.

"Holy Monk, I've been waiting here for quite a long time. Finally, I've waited for you!" said the woman in a black gown, with every smile and frown exuding an irresistible charm. As she spoke, she picked up a cup of green tea from the nearby stone table and offered it to Jiang Liu, her eyes gleaming as she looked at him.

Her expression was like that of someone famished, who suddenly beheld a table laden with delicacies.

"Who are you? Why are you waiting for me here?" Jiang Liu asked, eyeing the tea she extended to him but not taking it.

During their conversation, he scrutinized her more closely, then with a look of surprise said, "You, you're from the King's retinue, aren't you? I believe you're in charge of palace affairs, right? You've become more beautiful than last night, but why did you bring me here? And where is this place?"

Indeed, Jiang Liu looked again and recognized the woman's identity, the same one who had been knocking at his window last night, but she had not seemed nearly as ravishing then as she did now.

"The Holy Monk speaks so pleasantly..." The woman saw that Jiang Liu did not take the tea but didn't seem upset. Instead, she set the tea aside and giggled behind her hand, evidently pleased by his compliment to her beauty.

After a short laugh, the woman dropped her hand and turned her gaze back to Jiang Liu, saying, "I am originally a Scorpion Demon from the Great Thunder Monastery, serving under Tathagata. Having learned early on about the affair between you, Holy Monk, and Princess Gaoyang, I harbored a fondness and specially descended to the mortal world to become your spouse!"

Having said this, she paused briefly, then continued, "I knew, Holy Monk, that during your Journey to the West, you would certainly pass through Women's Kingdom and would seek the King for the Travel Permit Plaque. Therefore, I infiltrated the royal palace of Women's Kingdom early, waiting for you to come. Indeed, persistence pays off; after more than a year of waiting, you've finally arrived!"

"Character Interface!"

Hearing the woman's words, Jiang Liu understood her identity, silently invoked the command, and immediately, a semi-transparent character interface appeared before him.

ID: Scorpion Demon (Golden).

Gender: Female.

Profession: Demon.

Level: 82.

Equipment: Inverted Horse Stake (Divine Level): Requires Level 80, Attack +3200000, Special Effect: Ignores 85% of opponent's Defense Attribute during attack, never wears out.

Trident (Epic Level): Requires Level 80, Attack +1250000...

Hissing at the sight of the Scorpion Demon's level data, Jiang Liu inwardly gasped; a Golden BOSS character? And she had reached Level 82? She must be a Golden BOSS of the Great Luo Golden Immortal Level, right?

Let's not talk about anything else for now; just looking at the level information alone, this Scorpion Demon's character profile is not at all inferior to Demon King Ox.

Looking at this Scorpion Demon's equipment, the three-pronged fork is epic level equipment for level 80, and that Inverted Horse Stake is even divine level equipment for level 80.

This seems to be the second piece of divine level equipment that Jiang Liu had seen, with the previous one being the Vajra Bracelet brought to the Lower Realm by the Green Ox Demon.

Divine level equipment for level 80, that has a whopping 3.2 million Attack Power? What's even more frightening is that special effect, ignoring 85% of Defense Attribute?

Who could possibly withstand that? A super great killing weapon!

Looking at this Scorpion Demon's character profile, Jiang Liu's mind brightened with realization. No wonder in the original Journey to the West, even when Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong joined forces, they seemed unable to defeat her, not even Sun Wukong could withstand her Inverted Horse Stake.

After all, Sun Wukong possesses a Vajra Indestructible Body, who was not even killable after being captured during the Havoc in Heaven five hundred years ago.

With 85% of Defense ignored, plus that 3.2 million Attack Power boost, it's no wonder that even Tathagata was injured by her Inverted Horse Stake in the original Journey to the West.

Bear in mind that in the original Journey to the West, among the demon creatures capable of injuring Tathagata, this Scorpion Demon seems to be the only one!?

"Holy Monk? Do you think I'm pretty?"

Jiang Liu was just staring at the character profile, dumbfounded, but to the Scorpion Demon, it seemed as if Jiang Liu was earnestly staring at her, blinking not even once, which secretly delighted the Scorpion Demon. She brazenly sat down on Jiang Liu's bed, her voice filled with a seductive power that stirred one's heart.

Yes, Jiang Liu was moved again…

It's like someone who hasn't eaten meat in two years; if they saw a dish of braised pork, claiming not to be tempted would surely be a lie!

Similarly, for Jiang Liu, who hadn't been with a woman for two years and suddenly encountered such a beautiful woman that it made his blood surge, not to be moved?

Unless something was wrong with Jiang Liu's libido, or his orientation was not normal.

However, as Jiang Liu previously stated to the King of Women's Kingdom, being moved is natural, but being able to restrain oneself from being moved is what's truly important!

"Naturally, you are pretty!"

Without being obvious, Jiang Liu stretched out his hand and laid it on his thigh, pinching a piece of flesh and then twisting it hard.

The piercing pain caused Jiang Liu to inhale sharply, and at the same time, the temptation he felt also subsided quite a bit.

"Holy Monk Xuanzang is truly different from the others!" Hearing Jiang Liu's response, the Scorpion Demon's face rippled with an enchanting smile, clearly very satisfied with his answer.

"I've lived for ten thousand years, and those who say I'm beautiful all want to mate with me. Of course, there are also some who clearly find me very pretty, yet they hypocritically say things about 'skulls painted with rouge,' that even a beautiful face is just stinking skin, sickening hypocrisy. You, Holy Monk, are much more sincere!"

Gently leaning against Jiang Liu, the Scorpion Demon's beautiful eyes earnestly gazed at him before asking, "Since the Holy Monk finds this humble one beautiful, then, do you want to mate with me?"

Such bold words! It was utterly unbecoming of a woman to speak so blatantly!

"No!"

Gripping his own thigh, with his skin almost turning purple, Jiang Liu forcibly calmed himself down and shook his head.

"Really, you don't want to?" The rejection from Jiang Liu caused the Scorpion Demon's face to stiffen slightly. Then she put on an alluring expression again, questioning Jiang Liu. Your next read awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

Secretly pinching himself seemed to be useless now; the Scorpion Demon's charm and allure were completely natural.

Jiang Liu simply closed his eyes, remaining silent, but his actions spoke louder than words in response to the Scorpion Demon.

"Holy Monk? Holy Monk? I know that deep down, you really want to mate with me. Since you do, why force yourself to resist..."

Seeing Jiang Liu close his eyes, the Scorpion Demon slowly shed her garments and then gently snuggled up to Jiang Liu's ear, whispering softly.

Feeling the Scorpion Demon's smooth skin pressing against him, Jiang Liu tensed up, and immediately pushed the Scorpion Demon away!

Taken completely by surprise, the Scorpion Demon had not anticipated such a merciless rejection from Jiang Liu. After a startled cry from being pushed onto the ground, she glowered at Jiang Liu with fiery eyes.

At last, she stomped her foot and bit her lip, "If you haven't figured it out yet, then stay here in my Pipa Cave. I'll come for you tomorrow!"

As her words fell, the Scorpion Demon flung a strange rope, which instantly bound Jiang Liu, leaving him unable to move.

Then, the Scorpion Demon left the Demon Cave's stone chamber alone, sulking.
