Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything-Chapter 654: The Seven Demonesses
Hearing the sounds of many women giggling and romping, Zhu Bajie's eyes lit up, and he cautiously moved forward.
As he drew closer, the sounds of the women's laughter and frolicking became ever clearer.
Upon approaching, he discovered that not far away there was a great river, where several women were playing and laughing in the water.
Because their clothes were all wet, clinging tightly to their bodies, they revealed exquisite figures.
Gulp!
Watching the women frolicking in the river, and seeing each nearly-naked beautiful figure, Zhu Bajie swallowed hard.
Looking closely one by one, my, there were no less than seven beauties.
"So pretty, so many!" As he gazed at the seven beauties playing in the water, Zhu Bajie murmured softly.
"Could it be Master knew in advance, that's why he expressly stopped Junior Brother Sha, letting me come? Indeed, Master loves Old Pig the most!"
Seeing the seven beauties in the river, Zhu Bajie thought of how Jiang Liu had just intentionally stopped Junior Brother Sha and specifically called for him.
Thinking of this, Zhu Bajie felt secretly grateful, convinced that Master must have known in advance and that was why he arranged things this way.
"Wait a minute..." Even as he felt grateful, Zhu Bajie pondered for a moment, then his heart stirred slightly.
Why did Master already know there would be so many beautiful female demons here and make a point of sending me by name?
"Could it be? Master saw that I've been studying the Love Treasure Mirror lately, thinking I've been very diligent, so he intentionally sent me to practice?"
Feeling that every word and every action of Master must hold significant meaning, Zhu Bajie felt a sudden insight, understanding Master's intent and was even more moved.
Cough cough!
Clearing his throat, Zhu Bajie silently reviewed the contents of the Love Treasure Mirror and carefully recalled the romantic words that Master had taught him. Only then did he use his ability to transform, taking on the valiant appearance he had as Marshal Tianpeng and stepped out from hiding.
...
"Sisters, has anyone noticed that someone seems to be peeping at us in the shadows?"
The seven beautiful female demons were frolicking in the river, each wearing seven-colored dresses of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. Suddenly, the one in the red dress spoke up to her nearby sisters.
"Big sister, I noticed. He's hiding in the small grove behind us!" After the red-dressed demoness's words, two other female demons nodded and whispered in agreement.
"Ah, is someone really spying on us?" However, there were a few other female demons with surprised looks, exclaiming softly.
Clearly, the rest of the female demons had not noticed.
"Big sister, since someone has come to us on their own, could we sisters partake in some meat today?" Learning of the spying presence, these female demons not only showed no signs of modesty but instead whispered among themselves, looking to hunt their target.
In a delightful turn, several female demons stuck out their red tongues, gently licking their lips.
"No rush, let's wait and see first, see who this fellow in the shadows really is!" After pondering for a moment, the red-dressed female demon shook her head and said.
"Hee hee hee, big sister is right. It's rare for someone to deliver themselves to our doorstep; it would be too boring to devour him now. Let's have some fun with him first," another female demon agreed, nodding her head after the red-dressed demoness spoke.
"Hmm, alright..."
The remaining female demons exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.
Having reached a consensus, the female demons played in the river even more exuberantly, displaying bold flashes of skin.
After a while, a series of footsteps approached.
Immediately, the female demons turned around and saw a very valorous-looking man coming out of the small grove.
"This guy, he does have a nice appearance!" the red-dressed female demon mumbled to herself, looking at Zhu Bajie who had transformed.
"Ah, you, what man are you to come here so brazenly? How shameless!"
Though they were actually unconcerned, the female demons in the river all pretended to be shocked, exclaiming as they looked at Zhu Bajie who emerged.
"Heh heh heh, ladies, there's no need to panic, I'm not a bad person..."
Despite having memorized many endearments, seeing these female demons with their bodies wet, appearing almost naked, especially their reluctant yet coquettish demeanor, further tantalized Zhu Bajie. The sweet nothings he had memorized slipped his mind.
He found himself stuttering, not knowing what to say.
"You, you're talking nonsense, you say you're not a bad person, yet here we sisters are bathing and you, a man, came over..." The purple-dressed female demon scolded softly with a coy demeanor and a soft voice.
"I, I..." Hearing the words of the purple-dressed demoness, Zhu Bajie felt somewhat embarrassed and turned to leave.

However, just at this moment, he felt a slight stir in his heart.
He remembered the Love Treasure Mirror stated that if you're chasing a girl, you need to have thick skin, right?
"Ladies, please don't misunderstand, I'm really not a bad person. The reason I couldn't help but jump out is because I like you all! I could have stayed hidden and peeked from behind, but I chose to stand out and talk to you. Doesn't that prove my honest and open-hearted intentions?" Zhu Bajie spoke up, addressing the female demons.
"Huh? That seems somewhat reasonable?" After hearing what Zhu Bajie said, the female demon in purple thought it over and did not refute. Instead, she felt that there was indeed some sense in Zhu Bajie's words.
"You say you like us? Could it be? You don't just like one of us, do you?" The elder sister in red finally spoke up at that moment, asking Zhu Bajie.
"Yes, I really like every one of you sisters!" He nodded vigorously, shamelessly stating his feelings.
"How much do you like us?" The female demon in a yellow dress then followed up with her question.
"How much do I like you?" Hearing the female demon's question, Zhu Bajie felt a slight stir in his heart.
He quickly recalled some of the sweet nothings he had memorized and immediately opened his mouth, saying, "My affection for you is utterly sincere, as for how deep it is, mountains will crumble, heaven and earth will merge, before I dare to part from you..."
"Wow, such beautiful phrases!" The sweet nothings that Zhu Bajie blurted out caused the female demons' eyes to sparkle as they exclaimed.
"This is working!" His romantic lines had these beautiful demons trembling like flowers in the breeze, their eyes shining, filling Zhu Bajie with great joy.
Since this tactic worked, Zhu Bajie naturally decided to press the advantage and continued speaking.
"By the way, I got lost and ended up here. Could you point me in the right direction? Which way should I go? I want to know how to find the way to your hearts?"
"My master told me to go out and see the world, but now I think, what world is there to see? Seeing you is enough for me!"
"Oh, and ladies, do you know where my heart is? On the left? No, that's wrong; on the right? That's also wrong, and no, it's not in the middle either. Do you want to know? Of course, my heart is with you!"
...
Reciting cheesy lines he knew by heart, Zhu Bajie had these female demons giggling and trembling like blossoming branches.
Initially, these female demons thought of just having some fun before devouring this fellow, but they hadn't expected him to be so amusing to talk to.
For a moment, the female demons were somewhat reluctant to eat him, feeling that chatting with him was quite entertaining.
Zhu Bajie's cheesy lines, coming one after another, seemed to be quite effective on the female demons, filling him with a sense of accomplishment.
Indeed, the romantic lines his master had taught him were useful, potent even, and it seemed like each of the female demons was about to fall for him?
The female demons also found the conversation with Zhu Bajie interesting, very different from other men, and for the moment, they were not in a hurry to eat him.
The two parties hit it off well.
So as Zhu Bajie spoke those lines, the female demons seemed quite taken with them, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Oh my, it's getting late already!" As they chatted and shared sweet nothings, they hardly noticed time passing until the sky had grown dark. The female demon in red exclaimed in surprise.
While talking, her gaze fell on Zhu Bajie, and she invited him, "Since you're lost and it's getting dark, why not come and sit at our home? To meet is fate, and we sisters will surely treat you well!"
Hearing the red-dressed female demon's words, who was actually inviting him to their home, made Zhu Bajie almost drool with anticipation.
However, just as he was about to agree, with the words on the tip of his tongue, he immediately stopped himself.
No, no, according to the Love Treasure Mirror, sometimes when chasing a girl, you need to play hard to get.
So, he couldn't just accept the invitation.
"Ahem, well, I…" He cleared his throat twice, feeling that he should say something to decline.
However, before he could get the words out, the surrounding female demons started flocking around him.
"Let's go, it's late, and it's very dangerous for you to be out here alone, you should come with us!"
"Right, didn't you say you liked us sisters? Can you bear to leave us just like that?"
"Come on, let's go, let's go, let's go..."
...
With the female demons urging him on, each vying to speak, Zhu Bajie found it impossible to utter his refusal.
To hell with the stupid Love Treasure Mirror!
In the end, Zhu Bajie silently cursed to himself and then nodded, half-heartedly, half-pushed by the female demons, he left with them.
