#1607 - Afraid that he won't fall for it, but also afraid that he will fall for it
The Bull Demon King also knew he had lost face. Disregarding Princess Yu Mian's extremely displeased expression, he took off his armor, put on a crow-green velvet jacket, and walked out the door.
Afraid of being pursued by Sun Wukong, he exited through the back door, mounted his Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast, instructed the lesser demons to guard the gate, and headed northwest in a mix of clouds and mist.
Throughout the entire scene, the little demons watched with awkward expressions, their faces filled with embarrassment.
Their Great King had just had half his bones broken by Sun Wukong's punch, yet he nonchalantly rode off on his Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast to drink wine?
How thick-skinned must one be to disregard worldly opinions so much?
If Princess Yu Mian had still held a glimmer of hope for the Bull Demon King, that hope completely vanished after seeing him leave.
Regardless of Sun Wukong and the others' identities, if any villain attacked their home,
the Bull Demon King only put up a token resistance before abandoning everyone, leaving the powerless Princess Yu Mian and the weak little demons to die. Wasn't this practically surrendering and sentencing everyone to death?
All of this revealed the Bull Demon King's cowardly nature, causing everyone present to shake their heads and sigh in sorrow.
At that moment, Sun Wukong felt extreme contempt for his former brother's abandonment of his wife and child, leaving a cave full of weak demons.
In Sun Wukong's eyes, cowardice was the most unforgivable sin!
However, Sun Wukong did not pursue him. Instead, he picked up the fan that the Bull Demon King had discarded and turned to hand it to Chu Hao.
However, Chu Hao merely glanced at the poorly made fan and said coldly:
"It's fake."
Sun Wukong frowned and gritted his teeth, cursing:
"This Bull Demon King is not only cowardly and runs away from battle, but he's also so despicable and shameless, giving us a fake fan. You wait here, brother, I'll go catch up with him right now and beat him until he spits out the real fan!"
Pigsy also grinned and said:
"Boss, let me handle this. Brother Monkey can't bring himself to do it, but I'm ruthless."
Pigsy had also vaguely sensed that Sun Wukong still held onto old feelings. To avoid putting Sun Wukong in a difficult position, he took the initiative to volunteer. Otherwise, given Pigsy's personality, he would have definitely chosen to eat first, given the circumstances.
Besides, Pigsy might not be able to defeat the Bull Demon King.
Pigsy sighed and said:
"Boss, why have you suddenly become so proactive? Don't tell me it's for Princess Yu Mian and Princess Iron Fan. I understand, I understand.
This Bull Demon King is too ungrateful. Two beautiful women treat him so well, yet he abandons his wife and concubine and runs off to indulge in pleasure. It's too much. If you ask me, Boss, you're so kind, you should take them both away…"
Chu Hao twitched his lips, his forehead covered in black lines.
"What kind of trashy novels have you been reading when I'm not around?"
Pigsy chuckled awkwardly and silently hid the book "The Unspeakable Love Between Ximen Qing and Pan Jinlian."
Chu Hao turned around and said:
"Alright, all of you stay here. I'll go after him and see."
Chu Hao turned and chased after him.
Tang Sanzang and the others watched as Sun Wukong chased after him.
Chu Hao went along this road, and before long, he arrived at a mountain, but the Bull King was nowhere to be seen.
Chu Hao raised an eyebrow and calculated with his fingers, but he couldn't discern a single clue.
"Heh, a mere Bull Demon King dares to play with the secrets of heaven in front of me? I'll see what kind of medicine you're selling in your gourd."
Chu Hao finished speaking to himself and strode forward.
Entering the mountain and searching, there was a clear, deep pool of water. Beside the pool was a stone tablet with six large characters: "Luan Shi Mountain, Bibo Pool."
Bibo Pool?
Without another word, Chu Hao directly parted the water and went down.
… …
Meanwhile, in the sky above, Listening and Guanyin Bodhisattva were both holding their breaths, watching intently.
They watched as Chu Hao chased after the Bull Demon King, their hearts both nervous and excited.
"Here it comes, here it comes. The Prison God Chu Hao is finally taking the bait!"
Listening even fully exerted his talent, and upon hearing what Chu Hao had said, a smile appeared on his face.
"Hahahaha, the Bull Demon King playing with the secrets of heaven? He's not worthy! That's the great net that my Western Paradise has laid out! Prison God Chu Hao, once you step into the net, you'll be the pork on my Western Paradise's chopping block!"
Listening had just started to laugh, but for some reason, he felt that his current appearance was a little familiar?
He felt like he had experienced this kind of arrogant laughter before?
Listening calmly thought and analyzed, and suddenly remembered that he seemed to have been easily tricked under this kind of self-righteous state before.
It seemed like it wasn't just him. In the past few hundred years, every trap that Western Paradise had arranged had been like this?
Everything seemed to be going smoothly, but in the blink of an eye, Western Paradise would be countered…
A serious and worried look appeared on Listening's face.
"Great Master Guanyin, I always feel that things are going a little too smoothly. Could we be falling into a trap?"
However, Guanyin Bodhisattva glanced at him with disdain.
"Venerable Listening, I think you're too sensitive. Could it be that the Prison God Chu Hao can really detect it? Even if he detects the crisis, as long as he steps into it, he won't be able to escape.
You should also know what kind of powerful things we in Western Paradise have prepared this time, right?"
Listening heard this, but there was some hesitation on his face.
"The logic is like that, but I always feel that something is not right…"
Guanyin Bodhisattva glanced coldly.
"You need to know that we have no choice now. We have already forced him into the trap. No matter what, there is no way out."
Listening sighed. He also knew the logic that Guanyin Bodhisattva was saying.
Before, he was always worried that Chu Hao wouldn't take the bait, but now he was worried that Chu Hao would take the bait too easily.
Listening was really a little afraid of being set up by Chu Hao.
Guanyin Bodhisattva continued:
"Venerable Listening, you have been monitoring everything. You should also know that Chu Hao has no chance and no way to transmit information without us knowing.
Moreover, in the past few days, there has been no major activity in the Enforcement Hall other than some daily activities.
Then we don't need to worry even more. This time, he will definitely become a loser under my Western Paradise!"
Listening could only nod and say:
"I hope so…"
Just as they were talking, Chu Hao had already entered Bibo Pool.
