"Well, I'm here sent by Buddha to protect you on your way back home," Li Hong said casually.
Golden Cicada looked coldly at him, confused. "That's impossible. I never even thought about going back. How could he send you?"
"Exactly! That's why I advised you to take a trip west before!"
Upon hearing this, Golden Cicada nodded, unsure if she believed it.
"Alright then, you do look like a monk, so I suppose you're not here to deceive me."
Li Hong was baffled. Did this hairstyle actually work in his favor?
Guanyin sighed and said, "Ah, your father is just being stubborn. He actually wants you to go back and see him; he just can't bring himself to ask directly and had to send someone to persuade you instead."
Golden Cicada frowned and after a moment of thought asked, "If that's the case, then I will go back to see my father."
Li Shimin was slightly taken aback and then pressed on, "My lady, are you really leaving right now?"
"It's better to leave early than late. We should set off quickly; I can return in three years," Golden Cicada replied cheerfully.
Guanyin nodded and said to Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, Golden Cicada is right. If she departs now, she can return in three years."
"Three years?"
Li Shimin said bitterly, "You all are great beings; three years feels like nothing to you. But I'm just an ordinary man. Without my lady for three years... what am I supposed to do?"
"What are you talking about? I'm just going home for a visit. If you get anxious, just take care of it yourself," Golden Cicada replied irritably.
Li Shimin's face flushed with embarrassment as he said, "I am the Tang Emperor. This can happen once or twice, but if it continues for years, how will the common people view me?"
Li Hong was taken aback, wondering what was going on. Why did it feel so embarrassing?
404 chuckled and explained, "Golden Cicada wants to take matters into her own hands, but she is unwilling. This journey to the West seems to be in vain."
"What the hell," Li Hong exclaimed. "No wonder this guy looks so resentful. If it were me, after three years of that, I would be nothing but dust."
Guanyin comforted him, saying, "Your Majesty, since Golden Cicada married you, she has been dutiful. Today she wishes to visit her family; why must you..."
"Do not advise me, Bodhisattva. I am the supreme ruler. The common people know that a nation cannot be without a mother for even a day. It is a good thing for my beloved wife to return home; I do not oppose it. But now that I am angry, who shall I vent my frustration on?"
Golden Cicada let out a long sigh, filled with disappointment. It seemed that her wish to visit home might not come true.
When no one was watching, Guanyin revealed a hint of joy at the corner of her eye and suggested, "How about this? I have a technique that can transform into a mortal form. Although this mortal form lacks any real power, it should suffice for you to relieve your anger."
With that, Guanyin waved her hand, and a White-Clad Woman resembling Guanyin appeared before everyone.
The woman smiled charmingly and performed a graceful bow to Li Shimin.
"Your servant greets Your Majesty."
"No need for such formalities. Bodhisattva, does this mortal form have a name?" Li Shimin asked, looking very pleased with Guanyin's transformation.
Guanyin covered her mouth and laughed lightly, explaining, "This mortal form has just been created; how could it have a name? Why don't you give it one, Your Majesty?"
Li Shimin clapped his hands and laughed, "That's wonderful! Since she is a Bodhisattva in human form, how about we call her Guanyin Maid?"
"Guanyin Maid? Guanyin Maid?"
Golden Cicada repeated the name twice, feeling as if grass was starting to grow on her head, a wave of suppressed emotions washing over her. However, no matter how hard she racked her brain, she couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong.
"Forget it, forget it. Guanyin Aunt's actions are for my own good," Golden Cicada consoled herself, unable to make sense of it all.
"What the hell? Wu Cheng'en must have had a stroke! How could he write such a cliché plot?" Li Hong exclaimed in surprise. This heavy green hat theme was still reminiscent of the Journey to the West he knew.
"Wu Cheng'en is about to become a deity! A story like this shouldn't go unnoticed!" 404 marveled.
The monster: "..."
What were these two talking about? They seemed so profound and mysterious.
With Guanyin Maid in hand, Li Shimin felt all his worries vanish. He embraced Guanyin Maid and said with a smile, "My dear, you go ahead. It's best if you... um, play for a few more years before coming back!"
Although Golden Cicada sensed something was off, she nodded and replied, "Then I'll be going. Take care of yourself. Auntie, let's go."
"Ah?"
Guanyin was startled and looked around anxiously. "Well, you go ahead first. I still need to buy shampoo for your father."
"..." Although it felt like an excuse from Guanyin, Golden Cicada didn't know how to respond.
"Well then, I shall set off."
"Wait!"
Li Shimin stopped the hurried Golden Cicada, frowning as he said, "The journey is long; you should take a few guards with you."
"For example, that pig, that black charcoal, that monkey, and that horse!"
...
"What? Go west? No way, I'm not going!" Sun Wukong shook his head and decisively rejected Golden Cicada's invitation.
He wasn't bored enough to run west just to eat dirt.
Was it that bananas weren't tasty, or that the palace wasn't fun?
Li Shimin said solemnly, "This is unreasonable. Bodhi sent you to accompany Golden Cicada precisely to protect her, right?"
"No bananas, I'm not going," Sun Wukong stubbornly refused again.
Li Shimin sighed helplessly and said, "If you go, I'll send you three thousand beauties from my harem, luxurious villas, and plenty of fruits. How does that sound?"
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes and asked curiously, "Is that true?"
Without saying a word, Li Shimin took out a property deed and handed it to Sun Wukong.
“Landmark of Aolai Nation, Central Business District, Seaside Villa. Flower Fruit Mountain, and if you buy now, you’ll also get three thousand Mother Monkeys and a Water Curtain Cave.”
“Deal.” Sun Wukong took the property certificate with a serious expression.
Having secured Sun Wukong, the group turned their attention to Peng.
“What? You want me, a single pig, and Golden Cicada to go back home for a family visit? Isn’t that just adding insult to injury? I’m not going, I’m not going.” Peng shook his head vigorously, his tone resolute.
Using the same trick again, Li Shimin pulled out another property offer as bait.
“The future residential core of West City, Gao Lao Zhuang scenic area villa, enjoy the expansive view.”
“What good is this villa to me without a wife?” Peng replied gloomily.
Li Shimin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and added, “Don’t rush; I’m not done yet. If you send Golden Cicada to the West, I’ll throw in a beautiful woman, Gao Cuilan.”
“Deal!” Peng snatched the property certificate in an instant.
Thus, only two targets remained.
One was Sha Wujing, who wanted neither property nor beauty.
The other was White Dragon Steed.
Fortunately, these two weren’t very clever; they were easily persuaded with just a couple of words.
Thus, the six-person visiting team was formed.
Sun Wukong, the Top Lane Monkey, the Teamfight Core.
Peng, the Jungle Pig, the engine of chaotic rhythm.
The White Dragon Horse, the Mid Lane Dragon King, roaming desperately.
Sha Wujing, the AD Holy Spear Ranger, a laid-back winner.
Li Hong, the Assistance Barbarian King, responsible for calling and taunting!
Golden Cicada, our crystal, must never fall!
