On the other side, Qin Jun and his two companions had already flown hundreds of miles away.
Sitting on the clouds, Zhu Bajie kept pestering Qin Jun, asking him why he could perform the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellations.
"Marshal Tianpeng taught me," Qin Jun said, rolling his eyes.
How could a pig like you understand my skills?
Zhu Bajie's mouth twitched. He thought Qin Jun was teasing him. Back when he was Marshal Tianpeng, he often boasted about the Thirty-Six Transformations, as if afraid others wouldn't know. So he thought Qin Jun was teasing him.
"Really, but it's a complicated story. But I did learn my Thirty-Six Transformations from you," Qin Jun said with a smile. How could he not show off at this moment?
Zhu Bajie seemed to understand but couldn't quite grasp it, using a popular phrase from 21st-century China to describe it as "not clear but impressive."
Liu Ruolai couldn't help but coquettishly ask Qin Jun, "Can you teach me what the Thirty-Six Transformations are that you mentioned?"
Qin Jun rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "Who do you think you are? Why should I teach you?"
Liu Ruolai was so angry she almost fainted. If you refuse, just refuse. Did he have to be so harsh?
Zhu Bajie also thought, "Ah, he doesn't understand how to cherish a beauty. It would be better if I were in charge."
Although he was lecherous, he knew who he shouldn't touch, so he could only envy from afar.
Back at Gaolaozhuang, he had transformed into a human and fallen in love with the daughter of the Gao family before revealing his true form. In a sense, he still had principles and even cherished love.
Of course, the main reason was that he was afraid of Qin Jun and Sun Wukong.
"By the way, do you know where we're flying to? Are we close to any cities?" Qin Jun suddenly asked. The surroundings were all mountains and forests, and even if he extended his divine sense as far as possible, he couldn't find any cities.
At this rate, it would be easy to get lost.
Zhu Bajie shook his head. He had woken up in an endless expanse and couldn't tell which way was which.
Liu Ruolai had never left Manliu City before and had no idea where to go.
Qin Jun regretted sending Zhong Kui away. He wanted to summon Black and White Impermanence and Ox-Head and Horse-Face, but because of the different realms, the underworld was too far away.
Now Qin Jun could only fly aimlessly, hoping to fly out of the endless expanse.
Time passed quickly.
Night fell soon.
Qin Jun and his companions landed in a forest. Zhu Bajie quickly chopped firewood, and with a wave of Qin Jun's hand, the Samadhi True Fire fell on the wood, instantly lighting up the forest.
"Samadhi True Fire?" Zhu Bajie exclaimed, feeling as if he had been trampled by a billion alpacas.
Qin Jun nodded mysteriously. "I can also use your Monkey King's Lawless Clone, but I was afraid it would scare you!"
For a moment, Qin Jun's image in Zhu Bajie's mind became even more impressive. Although this emperor seemed young, his abilities were extraordinary.
Seeing Zhu Bajie's surprise, Liu Ruolai's curiosity about Qin Jun grew even stronger. His subordinates were all incredibly strong, and he himself had strong talents, which amazed her.
She wished she could dig into Qin Jun's heart and see how many abilities he had hidden.
Feeling her gaze, Qin Jun said softly, "Stop staring at me. My charm is like poison, I'm afraid you'll be poisoned to the bone and unable to extricate yourself."
"Pfft!" Zhu Bajie, who was drinking water, almost choked, and Liu Ruolai's mouth twitched.
So shameless!
"You think too highly of yourself. I won't like someone like you," Liu Ruolai said, arms crossed, though her ears were already red.
"What kind of person am I?"
"Shameless and shameless!"
"But you didn't deny my charm!"
"I..."
Liu Ruolai was almost in tears from being bullied by Qin Jun. She couldn't match his cultivation, and her tongue wasn't sharp enough. She really wanted to take a block of tofu and hit herself on the head.
Oh!
Could this girl really have fallen for me?
Seeing her blushing like an apple, Qin Jun couldn't help but tease.
He wasn't a righteous priest or a saint. If he liked someone, he would pursue and possess them. After all, he was the Holy Emperor, and if he didn't have a harem, people would say he wasn't capable.
The world would force him to be benevolent. Sigh, twitch!
Qin Jun stroked his chin, his eyes deep, sinking into an invincible emptiness. Of course, he wasn't interested in Liu Ruolai at the moment.
The night grew darker.
Qin Jun began to cultivate, and Liu Ruolai fell asleep leaning against a tree next to him, while Zhu Bajie lay on the other side. Because he was too ugly, Liu Ruolai didn't dare to get close to him, but she was afraid to sleep alone, so she could only lean near Qin Jun.
Under the cover of night, the cries of various demon birds and the roars of demon beasts echoed, casting a chilling atmosphere over the land.
Unaffected, Qin Jun continued to cultivate on his own.
Whoosh—
At that moment, a sound caught Qin Jun's attention, and he was startled to see something dark and snake-like swiftly wrapping around the opposite figure of Zhu Bajie.
A similar thing appeared on the other side, attacking Li Ruolai.
Qin Jun acted quickly, swiftly picking up Li Ruolai and taking flight.
Zhu Bajie, tough as he was, Qin Jun didn't believe he would just kneel like that.
Sure enough, Zhu Bajie, still groggy, opened his eyes and found himself being dragged by something.
"What's going on?"
Zhu Bajie rolled over and jumped up, breaking the thing entwining him, which turned out to be a thick vine, as thick as an adult's thigh.
Vines appeared from all directions, entangling Qin Jun and the others.
Qin Jun swiftly dodged with Li Ruolai in his arms, using his future knowledge to easily evade, leaving Li Ruolai both frightened and excited.
"You're amazing!"
Li Ruolai admired, but Qin Jun paid her no attention.
"Get lost!"
Zhu Bajie suddenly waved his arms, roaring angrily, and the sound waves shattered the surrounding vines, including those attacking Qin Jun and Li Ruolai.
Under Zhu Bajie's deliberate avoidance, Qin Jun and Li Ruolai were unharmed and quickly landed behind him.
"Now it's your turn to perform."
Qin Jun said softly, his eyebrows still furrowed. Why were there suddenly so many vines attacking?
Could there be a lurking monster?
With a loud bang, Zhu Bajie slammed his nine-toothed rake into the ground, scattering the earth in all directions, the terrifying impact shaking the forest, dust flying, and the earth trembling.
The whole scene resembled an earthquake, especially in the dark night, instilling fear and despair.
Li Ruolai held onto Qin Jun's arm tightly, at this point she had no regard for gender differences, and Qin Jun didn't mind either, instead scanning the surroundings, trying to find the hidden enemy.
"Hehe, didn't expect to encounter you here. Finding you means I can report to the Night Emperor!"
A terrifying voice suddenly reached their ears, and Qin Jun looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a figure suspended in the night sky.
Due to the distance, Qin Jun couldn't see his true face.
"The Night Emperor?"
Qin Jun's brow furrowed even deeper, not expecting the Night Emperor to act so quickly.
"Kill him!"
Qin Jun pointed at the dark figure and ordered in a deep voice, and without needing to be told, Zhu Bajie was already on it, leaping into the air with his nine-toothed rake.
End of Chapter 4! Damn, that's scary.
