Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1661 - Make plans and tease all the heroes in the world!

Chu Hao had just left the Nine-Headed Insect's cave when Sun Wukong couldn't help but say,

"Immortal Master, that old Bi Mawen is lying to you! Giving him that demon core is like throwing a meat bun to a dog—it's a one-way trip! It's a loss no matter what, so why did you give it to him?"

Chu Hao chuckled.

"That's terrible. It seems I've been tricked."

Zhu Bajie, seeing Chu Hao's expression, couldn't help but chuckle mischievously.

"Trying to copy the boss's bottom line? Then just wait to have your home raided by the boss.

Although I don't know what's hidden in the boss's mind, the boss is full of tricks!"

Chu Hao's forehead was covered in black lines.

"Are you insulting me?"

Zhu Bajie chuckled and didn't answer.

He knew Chu Hao's character too well. Giving the Nine-Headed Insect something wasn't for nothing.

If the Nine-Headed Insect wanted to take the opportunity to copy his bottom line, he would only have his home raided.

Chu Hao was very angry at Zhu Bajie's slanderous behavior, but considering that he was a recognized person who respected the old and loved the young, and was kind, courteous, frugal, and yielding, he didn't argue with Zhu Bajie. It wasn't because Chu Hao felt guilty or anything, really not.

Chu Hao had always been a good person in the Three Realms and Six Paths, so it was normal for him to be in a good mood and let the Nine-Headed Insect relax.

Chu Hao and the others had just left when Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared in front of the Nine-Headed Insect.

At this moment, inside the Nine-Headed Insect's cave.

The Nine-Headed Insect had just enjoyed the demon core that Chu Hao had given him for free, and he was feeling very pleased. He said smugly to the Dragon Princess beside him:

"This Jail God Chu Hao is nothing more than that! This great one used a little trick and got his things! Hahahaha! In this world, when it comes to wisdom, no one can compare to me!"

The princess was a little worried beside him.

"Husband, that Jail God Chu Hao is not someone to be trifled with. Now that you've tricked him out of a precious demon core, what if he finds out the truth in the future and holds a grudge?"

The Nine-Headed Insect said smugly:

"Don't panic, my dear. Everything is within my expectations. That Jail God Chu Hao only has those tricks up his sleeve. Besides, the world is so big that it's not up to his Law Enforcement Hall to dominate!"

The princess looked puzzled. "Husband, what do you mean? Could it be that you want to join the Western Paradise?"

That was all she could think of.

The Nine-Headed Insect smiled smugly, but he didn't say what he was thinking.

At this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva was already outside the door, slowly walking in.

"Nine-Headed Insect, how is the matter I asked you to do going?"

The Nine-Headed Insect quickly went out to greet him, with a flattering expression on his face.

"Great Master Guanyin, why have you come? I was remiss in not welcoming you sooner!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva stared coldly at the Nine-Headed Insect.

"Don't try to fool me. Don't you know what I'm here for?"

The Nine-Headed Insect looked embarrassed.

"Oh, wasn't I just about to go find it? Don't worry, I'll give it to you first when I find it! But…"

Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned, with a hint of threat on his face.

"But what? Nine-Headed Insect, don't think too highly of yourself. You should know that in front of my Western Paradise, you're just a bug! Anyone can crush you!"

A hint of coldness flashed in the Nine-Headed Insect's eyes, obviously angry at Guanyin Bodhisattva's threat.

However, he didn't show it. He just had a hesitant look on his face.

"It's like this, Great Master Guanyin, that Jail God Chu Hao gave me a demon core and asked me to help him find it too. I think…"

Although the Nine-Headed Insect didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of his threat was already very obvious.

He was relying on something, waiting for a price, and raising the price on the spot!

You, Nine-Headed Insect, are just a bug in front of my Western Paradise. If you dare to defect to the Jail God, the only outcome is death! You have no choice!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva's pressure made the Nine-Headed Insect kneel on the ground, with fear in his expression.

"Little demon wouldn't dare, little demon definitely doesn't mean that! I just want to find that relic, but with my little demon's strength alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find!

Moreover, that Jail God is watching closely. Even if the little demon gets it, I'm afraid it will be snatched away. Why doesn't the Western Paradise send someone to find it with me? Otherwise, if it's snatched away, I can't bear the responsibility!"

The Nine-Headed Insect's fearful begging sounded like a threat to Guanyin Bodhisattva!

This Nine-Headed Insect was determined to scam the Western Paradise. What did he mean by being afraid of Chu Hao taking the lead? It was obvious that he was saying that if the Western Paradise didn't give the Nine-Headed Insect benefits, the Nine-Headed Insect would give the relic to the Jail God?

Guanyin Bodhisattva hesitated. Leaving aside whether this calamity could be overcome, the value of that relic alone exceeded two million merits.

If the Nine-Headed Insect was a dead pig unafraid of boiling water and gave the relic to Chu Hao, the Western Paradise would not only lose an extremely valuable relic, but it would also give Chu Hao an opportunity!

If Chu Hao got the relic, it wouldn't just be a little treasure. Chu Hao's asking price would be a hundred times greater than the Nine-Headed Insect's!

He might even want Guanyin Bodhisattva!

Guanyin Bodhisattva was so excited that she almost turned around and left…

However, Guanyin Bodhisattva quickly calmed down and said coldly to the Nine-Headed Insect:

"You just need to find it. I will go to the Buddha to apply. At that time, whether it's Di Ting escorting you or helping you break through, it will help you find the relic better."

As expected, I can also manipulate Guanyin Bodhisattva! I'm really a genius!

The Nine-Headed Insect's smugness was not at all expressed on his face. He just said respectfully:

"Great Master Guanyin, don't worry. The Western Paradise is the supreme being, and I respect you very much. Once I find the relic, I will definitely send it to you!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva snorted coldly and turned to leave.

The Nine-Headed Insect watched Guanyin Bodhisattva leave.

The Nine-Headed Insect was very proud. Hahahaha! Strategizing and scheming, all the heroes in the world are played in the palm of my hand!

What bullshit Jail God, what bullshit Western Paradise, wouldn't they have to obediently beg me to find the relic?

If they knew that the relic was in my hands, wouldn't they cry to death?

The Nine-Headed Insect returned to the cave, and the princess came over nervously, looking terrified.

"How dare you blackmail Guanyin Bodhisattva? Offending both the Law Enforcement Hall and the Western Paradise at the same time, you and I have no way out!"

The Nine-Headed Insect was very calm, with a smile on his face.

"Don't worry, I already have a plan."

The Nine-Headed Insect was indeed telling the truth. According to common sense, Chu Hao represented the Heavenly Court.

Offending both the Heavenly Court and the Western Paradise at the same time, the Nine-Headed Insect really had no way to survive.

But that was before…

The Nine-Headed Insect knew very well that this world was no longer just a contest between the Western Paradise and the Heavenly Court. In this world, there was another great power from ancient times, and they were also waiting!

The Nine-Headed Insect turned around and left the cave, heading to a place he believed no one would expect!
