But when the Seven Fairies had gotten dressed, each one of them grew angrier the more they thought about the bald man''s recent actions.

    Tai Ying said angrily, "That baldy is just too despicable!"

    Mei Xian squinted her charming eyes and suggested, "This isn''t over. Now that all the sisters are dressed, why don''t we..."

    Yu Zhi shook her head and commented, "That baldy is no simpleton; we might not be his match."

    Hua Lin stated, "If I''m not mistaken, he must be that infamous impostor Tang Monk, Tang Sanzang. If my guess is correct, his power is absolutely terrifying. We stand no chance against him. If we really went to him, it would be like lambs to the slaughter."

    Yao Ji pouted and asked, "Are we just going to let it go then?"

    Hua Lin shook her head and declared, "How can we just let it go? Let''s go back to the heavens immediately. The sisters are acquainted with countless immortals, and when the time comes..."

    The women immediately understood Hua Lin''s implication and nodded in agreement.

    Mei Xian pursed her lips and complained, "By the time we go back, find the right people, and come back to deal with him, who knows how long it will take. I''m just so irritated right now, I can''t stand it..."

    Yu Zhi also expressed, "I''m frustrated too, but there''s nothing we can do. We certainly can''t lash out without thinking."

    As soon as these words were spoken, a fast succession of footsteps approached from the woods.

    The women glared in anger, with Hua Lin taking out a magical artifact and saying furiously, "Look at that shameless bald man, coming back again! Sisters, as soon as we see him, we hit him and then we make our escape!"

    All furious, the women nodded at Hua Lin''s words.

    The next moment, Zhu Ganglie charged out, yelling, "Stop, you little demon..."

    Before he could finish his shout, a luminous pearl burst forth with dazzling golden light, hurtling at him like a falling meteor!

    From other directions, treasures like swords, vases, banners ablaze with flames, brushes, and various other magical artifacts shone with divine brilliance, unleashing thousands of spells directly at him.

    Zhu Ganglie could only make out some figures through the chaos, none of whom looked beautiful, for they were all wielding all sorts of weapons, beating him up in a violent flurry!

    Boom! Boom! Boom!

    Terrifying explosions resounded, flames soared into the sky, and mushroom clouds rose as if they didn''t cost a thing!

    Tang Sanzang smacked his lips and said, "Well... um... how should I put it? Aside from a few key areas, I saw everything else. It''s... not my fault..."

    At this, Tang Sanzang suddenly turned to the Six-Eared Macaque and, pointing at him, said, "Blame him; it''s all because he said there were seven female demons here. There are seven demons, and there are also seven fairy ladies; how could I tell who''s the demon and who''s the immortal!"

    The Six-Eared Macaque panicked—carrying the massive blame of having seen the seven daughters of the Jade Emperor was something he couldn''t bear!

    The Six-Eared Macaque hurriedly said, "Master, don''t talk nonsense. You might not differentiate between demons and immortals, but can''t you see the merit on one''s body? I know you can distinguish it; you had no good sights along the way."

    Tang Sanzang turned his head askew and spread his hands, saying, "The problem is, along the way, we''ve also met quite a few demons who had not done anything wrong and had actually done quite some good deeds. We can''t judge whether one''s a demon or an immortal based on the amount of merit or karma they carry, can we?"

    The Six-Eared Macaque was momentarily speechless, but then, with a whining tone, said, "Master, you can''t be this harsh on your disciple. I''m your favorite little Sixer, aren''t I? If you keep this up, I''m afraid you''ll bad-mouth me to death."

    Tang Sanzang looked at the frightful face of the Six-Eared Macaque and suddenly smiled, patting him on the shoulder and saying, "Alright, don''t be scared, your master is here."

    The Six-Eared Macaque immediately breathed a sigh of relief, just about to thank his master,

    When he heard Tang Sanzang mutter, "If they come after us, I''ll just throw you at them. It''s better to meet your fate sooner than later. In your next life, you''ll still be my disciple, alright?"

    The Six-Eared Macaque felt like dying; being troubled in this life wasn''t enough, now this baldy was also eyeing his next life!

    Couldn''t he just be a human?

    But upon reflection, this character indeed seemed not to be human...

    Tang Sanzang looked at the Six-Eared Macaque and laughed, "Sixer, you said before that you were planning to beat Tang Sanzang to death and then transform into him to continue the journey for the scriptures. What gives? Are you not afraid of Mount Meru, yet you''re so scared of that little Jade Emperor, whose court even your elder brother once trashed?"

    The Six-Eared Macaque smiled bitterly, "Master... how can Mount Meru be compared to Heaven? That''s the command center for the Three Realms, the four states of existence, the six paths of rebirth, and the ten directions!

    In the world between heaven and earth, power and status are directly linked.

    The Three Pure Ones are supreme, and just below them is only the Great Jade Emperor.

    Below the Jade Emperor are the Four Heavenly Kings, and below them are the Five Elders.

    Although the strength of the Buddha of Mount Meru is on par with that of the Four Heavenly Kings, he doesn''t hold court, so he is treated as an Elder, below the Four Heavenly Kings!

    There are three others like him in the world, all under the legitimate control of Heaven.

    The most troubling thing is, the Great Jade Emperor holds divine talismans, which even Saints must respect and are wary of acting rashly against. They even have to do tasks for him from time to time.

    What do I have to provoke him with?"
