Tian Wan'er obediently followed the group of big shots ashore.
All I ask for is a quick and painless meal when I'm about to be eaten.
Less suffering.
Tian Dali bowed so deeply that his hand almost touched the instep: "Please take care, sir. We respectfully see you off."
"What, you don't welcome us to come again next time?" Niu Yunxiao sneered.
Upon hearing this, Tian Dali nearly wet himself in fear.
Next time?
Could it be that these gentlemen want to treat this place as a restaurant? So they can come and have a snack when they're feeling peckish?
"Welcome, welcome," Tian Dali stammered.
It seems I can't stay here any longer. After seeing these gentlemen off, I'll pack my bags and run away.
Let whoever wants to be king be king.
Anyway, I'm not going to do it anymore.
Wukong glanced at Tian Dali, then pulled the Ruyi Jingu Bang from his ear and shouted, "Big!"
Then he dipped one end into the Jingyang River and casually stirred it.
In an instant, the ground in the Jingyang River shook violently, and towering waves rose from the once calm surface of the river.
One of the waves crashed down on Tian Dali with precision and force.
Tian Dali swayed.
In a daze, it seemed to hear the sound of its shell cracking open.
Immediately, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
"My lord, spare me! My lord, spare me!" Tian Dali knelt down with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Hmph, this is the price you pay for lying earlier!" Wukong sneered.
Actually, Wukong was holding back; otherwise, the Jingyang River would have been stained with blood for miles around today.
"I was wrong, and I will never dare to do it again." Tian Dali's face was as pale as paper, and blood was streaming down his forehead.
"Today, I'm only doing this because of Tian Wan'er. If there's a next time, I'll strip you of your shell!" Wukong said, retracting his Ruyi Jingu Bang.
"Yes, yes, yes," Tian Dali replied repeatedly.
Completely oblivious to the meaning of Wukong's words, all I could think about was hoping these powerful figures would leave quickly.
"Wukong, let's go." Bai Wenyuan said, summoning the Heavenly Grade Spirit Boat.
After watching them leave, Tian Dali plopped down in the river and fainted, his eyes rolling back in his head.
On the spirit boat, Tian Wan'er's pretty face was pale, and she leaned against the side, trembling incessantly.
Niu Yunxiao looked up and grinned, "A little girl..."
Tian Wan'er could no longer stand and knelt down with a thud, saying in a trembling voice, "My lords, please, just give me a quick death, whatever you want to do with me."
"Seventh Brother Niu, you scared her." Wukong glanced at Niu Yunxiao, then walked up to Tian Wan'er, raised his little paw, and with a force, lifted Tian Wan'er to her feet.
"Who said we were going to kill or torture her?" Wukong looked at Tian Wan'er with a smile: "Little girl, your time has come."
Tian Wan'er pursed her lips, truly unable to imagine what kind of destiny someone as lowly as herself could possibly have.
If it were truly a matter of fate, they wouldn't have pushed themselves out in the first place.
"My master needs a maid to cook, do housework, and tend the fire..." At this point, Wukong's expression suddenly changed, and he asked, "Do you know how to do these things?"
That was a miscalculation.
It kept thinking that, given its master's status, this snail girl must be a princess of the snail clan.
The others are not good enough.
But they forgot that if she were a princess of a clan, she would definitely have been pampered and spoiled, surrounded by countless servants.
How could these things be?
Bai Wenyuan and the others' expressions immediately turned serious, clearly indicating that they had just thought of it as well.
Unexpectedly, Tian Wan'er nodded: "Yes."
"Are you really that old snail's daughter?" Niu Yancai frowned and looked at Wukong: "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
A princess of a noble family, learning to cook, do housework?
Wukong looked up at Tian Wan'er, a golden light flashing in his eyes.
This is its innate spiritual skill—Golden Eyes.
It is mainly used to observe the opponent's weaknesses and vulnerabilities, and strive to defeat the enemy with one blow.
Using it for something as trivial as surveying bloodlines is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
“She is indeed the old snail’s daughter.” Wukong said, then looked up at Tian Wan’er: “Tell me, what exactly happened?”
“My father is the Snail King, and my mother is a maid.” Tian Wan’er said with her head down, feeling uneasy. “So I was raised as a maid since I was a child.”
"This old snail, how dare it play such tricks on us!" Wukong jumped up and down in anger.
Since becoming the Demon King, although it has been hunted down many times, it has never been toyed with like this before...
That's infuriating!
"My lord, I can do all the laundry, cooking, housework, and cleaning. Besides that, I can also tend to spirit plants, feed spirit beasts, and sew clothes and make quilts. As for the things I don't know, I can try my best to learn them," Tian Wan'er said, kowtowing repeatedly.
It was certain that it hadn't misheard; these adults were looking for a maid to serve their master, not to eat it.
What kind of being would be able to be the master of these adults?
Therefore, it must seize this opportunity.
"How about this one?" Niu Yancai thought for a moment and said, "It is of royal lineage and can do laundry and cook. It has both, so I'm sure you'll be satisfied, sir."
"Second Brother is right," Niu Yunxiao nodded in agreement.
"Wukong, what do you think?" Bai Wenyuan asked.
“It is possible, but…” Wukong pulled the Ruyi Jingu Bang out of his ear again and snorted, “That old snail cannot be spared.”
After saying that, the golden cudgel instantly grew longer and plunged straight into the Jingyang River.
To be precise, it pierced directly into Tian Dali's palace, and the surging spiritual energy stirred up a crimson mess.
"My lord, please calm your anger and spare my mother," Tian Wan'er said through gritted teeth, daring to speak.
The old snail didn't care that it had died, but it didn't want its mother to lose her life because of it.
It was able to grow up thanks to its mother's desperate protection.
Wukong then withdrew his golden cudgel, his furious voice echoing across the Jingyang River: "Old snail, get out here!"
Tian Dali was originally unconscious when he fell into the river.
They had just been carried back to the palace, and the Queen and Tian Yan'er had only cried out twice when Wukong's Ruyi Jingu Bang was thrust into them.
Tian Dali was originally just a cracked shell, but it shattered into several pieces with a snap.
The pain actually woke Tian Dali up.
Before it could even howl, it heard Wukong's furious shout.
Terrified, Tian Dali dared not cry out in pain. He quickly got up, his back smeared with blood, and surfaced on the river, trembling as he kowtowed, "M-Master..."
How come this is never going to end?
"You'd better treat Tian Wan'er's mother well, or I'll make sure your entire clan is wiped out," Wukong sneered.
"Yes, yes, yes, everything is as you instructed, sir." Tian Dali was startled and quickly replied.
"If you dare to secretly comply while openly disobeying..."
"No, no, I wouldn't dare." Tian Dali shook his head like a rattle drum: "I will go back and confer the title of Queen upon Wan'er's mother. Anyone who dares to disrespect her will be chopped off!"
Upon hearing this, the underwater queen and Tian Yan'er were so angry they almost fainted.
Wasn't it supposed to be sent to people as food?
Could it be that the King/Father deceived them? Was his original intention to use these officials to legitimize that wicked mother and daughter?
But when did it learn of the existence of that mother and daughter who were so shameless?
