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

#1496 - Bai Lian: I failed, but I have a good attitude

The White Lotus Child's means of resistance before being hanged at the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison were clearly too advanced for Di Ting to accept.

However, Di Ting was still somewhat unwilling to give up and shouted to the Jade Emperor:

"I demand that Prison God Chu Hao work overtime! He's taken so many resources from us, what's wrong with working a little overtime? Even if it's just to let the Six-Eared Macaque out for a few more moments!"

However, upon hearing Di Ting's words, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but burst into laughter,

"Hahahaha! Make the Prison God work overtime? Don't even mention me, even if the Six Sages descended, Prison God Chu Hao's habit of leaving on time has never been broken!"

"Back then, I ordered him to lead a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals to descend to the mortal realm to subdue demons. That Prison God was about to win, but he ran away directly after work, and I couldn't persuade him at all. Do you think anyone can make him work overtime today?"

Moreover, now he has created a Law Enforcement Hall, wuwuwu, the benefits and salary, even the Jade Emperor is envious!

The Jade Emperor's desire to resign and jump ship to the Law Enforcement Hall grew stronger and stronger…

The Jade Emperor put away the sadness in his heart and said to Di Ting with majesty:

"If you have the ability, go and ask him to work overtime yourself. As long as it's reasonable and legal, I will allow it. But… if you don't follow the rules, hehe, I'm not so easy to talk to."

Then, the Jade Emperor turned and left, his back filled with loneliness.

Di Ting and the White Lotus Child completely understood the Jade Emperor's threatening intent. They could reason with him, but they couldn't resort to violence. Violence meant breaking the rules…

But, reason with Chu Hao? Was he someone who could be reasoned with? He only talks about criminal law!

Complete failure.

The White Lotus Child excitedly took out a rope, "How about hanging ourselves at the South Heavenly Gate? Or hanging ourselves in front of the Hall of Universal Brightness?"

Di Ting glared at the White Lotus Child, wanting to say something but stopping, wanting to stop but saying it again, finally he sighed in silence,

"Alas… let's go back…"

Di Ting dragged his tired body and left the Heavenly Court step by step. His back was so hunched, looking so pitiful.

The White Lotus Child didn't understand, only feeling that Di Ting's psychological quality was a bit too poor. Wanting to fight with Prison God Chu Hao with just that, was really thinking too much.

However, the White Lotus Child did not further provoke Di Ting. Di Ting and the White Lotus Child returned empty-handed like this.

…

Western Paradise, Great Thunderclap Temple.

The Buddhas were looking at the entrance with worried expressions.

Especially the Tathagata Buddha, who was frowning tightly at this moment,

"They've been gone for so long? Why haven't they returned yet?"

A Buddha beside him reminded:

"Buddha, they've only been gone for a moment, this time is just a blink of an eye, please don't worry, Buddha. The White Lotus Child is a Sage's disciple, and it's not the first time he's clashed with Prison God Chu Hao. He can retreat unscathed every time, which is also a skill."

However, after being persuaded by this Buddha, the Tathagata Buddha not only did not feel relieved, but became even more worried,

"Do you know who suffers every time he retreats unscathed? Isn't that us?"

"Amitabha, I have a bad feeling…"

Just at this moment, a person rushed in from the entrance.

That figure, that arrogant and conceited walking posture, coupled with that indignant cursing sound, made all the Buddhas present feel a thump in their hearts.

However, as the White Lotus Child entered, he shouted:

"I'm back! In summary, the trip was not in vain!"

The Buddhas' hearts were even colder. Good, the trip was not in vain, this sentence must have a profound meaning in it…

Before the White Lotus Child could report, Di Ting had already walked in dejectedly,

Di Ting's first words upon entering were to sigh with his head down:

"Buddha, we failed. We didn't exchange for the Six-Eared Macaque."

The Buddhas' hearts, which had been half cold, were now completely cold, and even their bodies were almost cold.

Failure, although unexpected, was also within reason.

"What exactly happened?" The Tathagata Buddha eagerly asked: "Could it be that the Prison God went back on his word again and raised the price on the spot?"

Di Ting wanted to speak, but the White Lotus Child抢着interrupted:

"Hmph! Buddha, don't listen to Di Ting's nonsense. With my dignified White Lotus Child taking action, it must have been a success. I swear to heaven, we really rescued the Six-Eared Macaque!"

Hearing the White Lotus Child's words, all the Buddhas present were stunned for a moment, their faces filled with shock. How could it be possible? Really rescued him? Just with the White Lotus Child's peanut-sized brain?

The Tathagata Buddha eagerly asked: "Then where's the monkey?"

"He's back inside." The White Lotus Child answered very naturally.

The Buddhas, who had been slightly excited, became gloomy again, playing with me?

The White Lotus Child said very calmly:

"That Prison God Chu Hao, he released the Six-Eared Macaque for less than a few seconds, and then put him back in the sack, saying that he released him for one work day, and he just happened to be off work, so it was the same as releasing him for a day."

"Fortunately, I'm more cunning and sly. I knew he might try to double-cross us, so I prepared to fight back against their Heavenly Court. It's just a pity that Di Ting pulled me away later, otherwise I would definitely let that Chu Hao know that I'm definitely not a pushover…"

The Tathagata Buddha suddenly interrupted in despair:

"So, you lost all your things, and only exchanged for the Six-Eared Macaque to be released for a few seconds, and then he was caught again? This is your achievement?"

The White Lotus Child was very calm and frank, nodding and saying:

"That's right, but please don't worry, Buddha, I'm fine, my mentality is very good, this matter won't have much impact on me, I can still serve the Western Paradise. On the other hand, Di Ting, he seems to be a bit mentally broken and needs help."

In the Great Thunderclap Temple, no one spoke, only the White Lotus Child was喋喋不休地talking.

Finally, Di Ting, who had been silent on the side, couldn't bear it anymore. He roared out,

"Damn it, I can't take it anymore! I want to go back! Don't torture people like this!"

Then, Di Ting, a rough man, a big beast, looked aggrieved at this moment, his eyes full of despair, and rushed out of the Great Thunderclap Temple, in the Buddhas' pitying gaze.

The White Lotus Child still looked like he understood very well, shaking his head and saying:

"So, Di Ting needs help, the mentality of young people nowadays is just poor."

The Great Thunderclap Temple was silent.

The Buddhas looked at the White Lotus Child, only feeling endless frustration in their hearts.

The Tathagata Buddha lowered his head and regretted: "It's all my fault, I was too naive, I shouldn't have let you go…"

The White Lotus Child looked calm, "It's okay, Buddha, my mentality is good, I'll go again next time, it's the blessing of the Western Paradise to have me."

The four seats were frantic, extremely desperate.
