Chapter 1174 Am I, Old Pig, that kind of person?
Chapter 1174 Am I, Old Pig, that kind of person?
Li Nezha, standing to the side, curled his lip at Zhu Bajie's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance.
He nudged Li Qiufeng almost imperceptibly and whispered, "Brother, do you believe it or not, he's deliberately trying to get rid of us so he can approach this woman himself!"
Li Qiufeng nodded in agreement; they were quite familiar with Zhu Bajie's reputation.
Seeing that the two people next to him were making no attempt to hide their presence, chirping incessantly, Pigsy flicked his sleeve and said angrily:
"Why are you slandering my innocence for no reason? Do you think I, Old Pig, am some kind of lecherous monster?"
Li Qiufeng and Li Nezha did not answer the question directly; one looked at the sky and the other at the ground, but they just didn't look at Zhu Bajie.
Helpless, Pigsy could only send a telepathic message to the two of them: "You both said it yourself, this woman's sudden appearance on Jin'ao Island is truly extraordinary, and who knows what kind of conspiracy she might be plotting behind it."
"I, Old Pig, am of a certain status. If I want to keep this little girl in check, I'll have no choice but to use my fists against her! You all hurry up and go invite Brother Monkey, lest something else happens to this little girl."
Seeing this, Li Nezha immediately handed the task over to Li Qiufeng, claiming that he could help Zhu Bajie here and save Zhu Bajie from fighting alone.
Li Qiufeng knew that this matter was of great importance, so he naturally did not refuse and immediately headed towards Sun Wukong's dojo.
After Li Qiufeng left, Li Nezha approached Zhu Bajie and carefully observed the strange woman.
This woman is the gentle and charming type, and doesn't look too flamboyant.
His clothes were slightly damaged, but the style was very different from that of the ancient cultivators. The material looked like cloth, but it was different from ordinary cloth.
It is unknown how they managed to infiltrate Jin'ao Island.
Just as Li Nezha was observing, the woman who had been unconscious slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze.
"Oh, you're awake?" Li Nezha exclaimed immediately.
In fact, the woman who hadn't actually fainted was staring blankly at the two of them, her acting skills so superb that it seemed she had just woken up.
But in fact, she had already made a preliminary determination of the two people's identities based on the conversation she had overheard earlier.
But does Zhu Bajie have many fellow female disciples?
The woman couldn't remember much about this part of the story, so she had to put the question aside for the time being.
There was another one... The woman glanced at Li Nezha without making a sound, pondering what this person's identity was.
The woman named Ya briefly explained her background, her eyes filled with gratitude as she looked at Zhu Bajie and his companion.
"...Thank you both for your help. My name is Ya. I was being chased by thieves and accidentally fell into the sea. I am very grateful to you for saving me."
"Miss Ya, you don't need to be so polite. I, Old Pig, am a man of great loyalty and cannot bear to see a beauty in distress..." Pigsy chuckled, but his actions and expressions were undeniably lewd.
Ya, whose eyes were stung by Zhu Bajie's actions, suppressed her disgust and asked, "May I ask you two, where exactly is this place? How can I get back?"
Pigsy smiled and said to Ya, "You little lady are quite bold. You're not afraid at all when you see my face!"
"But don't worry, this is Jin'ao Island, where Tongtian Jiaozhu of the Jie Sect lives. Those thieves can't come here to harm you. You should focus on recovering from your injuries!"
He didn't intend to lie to this person, since such things are easily exposed.
It's better to use some irrelevant information to gain the person's trust, and then slowly find out their purpose for coming here.
Thinking about this, Pigsy was truly impressed with his own meticulousness.
It's true that he's become much smarter after spending so much time with the Monkey King.
Meanwhile, Sun Wukong learned from Li Qiufeng that outsiders had entered Jin'ao Island, and suddenly sneezed.
Sun Wukong: I had a feeling someone was chirping crickets behind me just now?
Upon hearing Zhu Bajie's words, Ya was both surprised and delighted: "Golden Turtle Island? Is this really the legendary Golden Turtle Island? Then are those two immortals?"
Pigsy raised an eyebrow, somewhat smugly acknowledging the identity: "Indeed, we who stand before you are the legendary immortals."
"Immortal above, please accept this humble woman's bow." Upon hearing this, Ya immediately knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Zhu Bajie.
Pigsy quickly helped the man up, and then he and Nezha took him to a secluded Taoist temple.
He originally intended to leave the people to Xiaolongnu and the others.
On one hand, it was to allow Xiaolongnu and her companions to use their shared identity as women to extract information about the woman's purpose in infiltrating Jin'ao Island.
On the other hand, it's also because it's not really convenient for these two grown men to take care of Ya.
However, before he could say these words, Pigsy received a telepathic message from Monkey King.
Although Sun Wukong was unsure of this woman's background, he instinctively did not want Ya to have too much contact with the disciples of Jin'ao Island.
Therefore, Pigsy was asked to arrange another place to live, thus restricting the person's range of movement.
Pigsy had no objection to this, but his words took a turn and came to a different meaning.
“…Miss Ya, the situation on Jin'ao Island is not very good right now. We can only ask you to rest and recuperate in this remote place for a while. There is a protective array here, so you can rest assured that no one will harm you.”
After leading the person to a secluded temple, Pigsy gently comforted him.
Ya looked at the dojo, which wasn't badly equipped, and naturally didn't refuse. It was quieter here, which was even better for her.
In this way, it would be much easier to send the information back without having to go through Zhu Bajie and his group.
After settling Ya's accommodations, Pigsy and Nezha took their leave.
Ya did not try to stop the two, and even after they had completely disappeared, she did not make any further moves.
Pigsy and Nezha, who were secretly monitoring Ya with their divine sense, began to doubt whether their judgment was wrong as they watched Ya's seemingly normal reactions and actions.
“You’re going to never catch her doing anything wrong by doing things this way,” Sun Wukong said casually, having appeared beside them unnoticed.
"Teacher? You mean she's worried we'll use our divine sense to monitor her? That's impossible! Besides, she doesn't have any magic to prove it!"
When Li Nezha heard Sun Wukong's words, his first reaction was disbelief.
Before this, they had secretly used magic to check several times, and the woman named Ya was indeed an ordinary person who had never learned magic.
How could an ordinary person possibly worry about being monitored by their divine sense?
Unless the other party has something to hide, one has to be careful just in case.
