Chapter 401: The Underwater Demoness
"I'm telling you, demoness, don't you dare eat me! I may look plump and juicy, but I'm still a monk. Eating me won't bring you any good fortune!"
Zhu Bajie blurted out, but upon getting a clear look at the demoness's face underwater, he suddenly felt rather pleased. This demoness was simply too beautiful!
Her skin was so fair and delicate—he had never seen anything like it before. He couldn't help but wonder, What kind of demoness is this?
Why did she live underwater? And why was her skin so pale and almost translucent?
"Heh heh, I might not taste good, but if I could stay here and keep you company, I certainly wouldn't mind."
Zhu Bajie chuckled mischievously.
Sun Wukong shouted, "Bajie, what nonsense are you spouting? Are you still thinking about women? Haven't you learned your lesson from all the trouble they've caused you?"
"Monkey Bro, I was just saying! If you don't like it, I'll stop talking."
The demoness sneered, "Now that you're in my grasp, escaping is impossible. I won't let you slip away so easily!"
Sun Wukong glared at her. "Demoness, get lost this instant! If you don't scram, I won't show you any mercy!"
As he stared at her, he had to admit she was stunning. He had encountered many demonesses before, but none quite like this one. Not only was she incredibly beautiful, but her uniquely smooth, delicate skin was almost indescribable.
Meanwhile, Zhu Bajie struggled to break free, only to realize that his body was entangled in strands of underwater vines. No matter how much he tried, he couldn't swim up.
"Monkey Bro, hurry and save me! I can't get out on my own!"
Panic set in. He was stuck, and there was nothing he could do about it!
Sun Wukong scowled. "Demoness, let him go now! Otherwise, you'll taste my Golden Staff. Do you really think I won't smash you with a single blow?"
"You wield the Golden Staff? Then… are you Sun Wukong?"
The demoness eyed him curiously.
Sun Wukong smirked. "Heh, looks like you've heard of me! That's right, I'm Sun Wukong. Since you know my name, release him at once. He's my junior brother, Zhu Bajie."
Zhu Bajie grinned. "Exactly! I'm Zhu Bajie. You've heard of Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, but have you heard of me, Marshal Tianpeng?"
He chuckled slyly, his expression a little lecherous.
The demoness scoffed. "Oh, since it's you two, I have even less reason to let you go. So what if you're Sun Wukong? Do you think that scares me?"
"What? You're not afraid of me?"
Sun Wukong was taken aback. It wasn't every day a demon openly dismissed his reputation.
"Why should I be afraid? You're just overhyped. Your so-called fame is nothing but an illusion!"
Sun Wukong's expression darkened. "What do you mean?"
"I've watched the Golden List Livestream many times. You rarely ever rank high. That just proves you're weak!"
"You—!"
Sun Wukong was furious. Being underestimated by a mere demoness was infuriating.
The demoness continued, "I don't care about that ranking nonsense. There's only one person in the Golden List Livestream I admire—Ye Tian! He's my idol! Compared to him, you're nothing!"
"What?!"
Sun Wukong erupted in rage. "So your idol is Ye Tian, and you think I'm worthless? Fine! If you think so little of me, then come at me! Let's see if you can defeat me!"
Back when he wreaked havoc in Heaven, even the Jade Emperor had looked down on him, relegating him to the lowly position of Keeper of the Heavenly Horses. And now, even a minor demon dared to belittle him?
Sure, Ye Tian was strong—he always earned rewards in the Golden List Livestream. Meanwhile, Sun Wukong only occasionally received something, but that didn't mean just anyone could trample on his name!
She was just a small-time demon!
Yet she dared to insult him?
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes. "Hmph! What kind of demon are you, anyway?"
"A jellyfish spirit."
"Heh, so you're a jellyfish spirit? No wonder you look like this. Even a demon like you dares to look down on me? Fine! I'll make you see my strength! I may not be Ye Tian, but I'm not someone you can underestimate!"
Sun Wukong swung his Golden Staff at the jellyfish spirit. However, since they were underwater, the force of his strike wasn't as effective.
Boom!
To his shock, the demoness blew a bubble from her mouth. It floated up like an ordinary air bubble, but then—Bang!—it unleashed a powerful force that sent his staff flying backward!
Sun Wukong's expression stiffened.
The demoness smirked. "I told you, your reputation is nothing but empty hype. And now, you've proven me right—you're not strong at all!"
She mocked him mercilessly.
Sun Wukong clenched his teeth. He had never felt so humiliated. But right now, there was nothing he could do!
