#1695 - I, Nine-headed Insect, am responsible for my own actions!
At this moment, Nine-Headed Insect was still immersed in his fantasy of cultivating diligently in Jin Guang Temple and becoming an unparalleled powerhouse. He had even thought about how he would act rampantly after being granted a title and position in the Demon Clan.
The kind-hearted Shadow Demon naturally didn't want to keep Nine-Headed Insect waiting any longer, saying:
"Since you've already made up your mind, let's go then."
Nine-Headed Insect said with high ambition: "Please rest assured, General Shadow Demon, I will not disappoint the Demon Clan's expectations."
As long as he worked hard in Jin Guang Temple, he could obtain merit divine water to improve his cultivation. And after some time, once he had cultivated successfully, he could directly become a Rank Earth Demon General!
Good days were yet to come!
While the Shadow Demon and Nine-Headed Insect were pondering, they unknowingly arrived at the Kingdom of Jisa.
In front of Jin Guang Temple, Chu Hao was sitting imposingly before the temple, waiting for their arrival with Tang Sanzang and others.
The next second, they saw a soaring demonic aura flying from afar. The Shadow Demon brought Nine-Headed Insect and landed in front of Chu Hao.
When the Shadow Demon and Chu Hao met, enemies were particularly conspicuous. The Shadow Demon squeezed out a sentence:
"You're not dead yet!"
Chu Hao snorted coldly,
"Shadow Demon, don't be presumptuous here! If I didn't have important matters to attend to, I would kill you today!"
The Shadow Demon's eyes were full of murderous intent,
"I haven't forgotten the grudge of that spear strike. In these Three Realms and Six Paths, it's either you die or I live!"
Chu Hao and the Shadow Demon were at loggerheads, their killing intent overflowing, causing sand and rocks to fly around, a truly terrifying scene.
In fact, Guanyin Bodhisattva and谛听 had been waiting here for a long time. When they saw the Shadow Demon and Chu Hao almost fighting, they were even more excited.
This was exactly what they were aiming for. Otherwise, why would they have let the Shadow Demon go?
They definitely wanted them to fight, but not now. The most important thing now was to properly arrange the affairs of Jin Guang Temple.
Then let them fight, preferably to the point of mutual destruction!
Guanyin Bodhisattva and谛听 were very good at restraining the smiles and expectations in their hearts.
Guanyin Bodhisattva took a step forward and said lightly:
"General Shadow Demon, please take out the relics and place them in Jin Guang Temple. Also, Nine-Headed Insect, go and capture a dragon demon and lock it in Jin Guang Temple to guard it."
Upon hearing this, Nine-Headed Insect thought, 'Ah? How could I let such a good mission be given to others!'
Nine-Headed Insect quickly stood up, righteously and proactively saying:
"No need, I stole the relics. The whole thing started because of me. I, Nine-Headed Insect, will take responsibility for my actions. Just leave the task of guarding Jin Guang Temple to me!"
Everyone present was stunned to hear this.
Who was Nine-Headed Insect?
A collateral of the Evil Dragon, fickle, two-faced, and a representative of insidious cunning. But such a person actually said such responsible and responsible words?
It was like a prostitute suddenly wanting to commit suicide for a man. This was simply not something Nine-Headed Insect could do!
Even Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't bear to let Nine-Headed Insect really go in to guard Jin Guang Temple. After all, this could be considered a chess piece for the Western Paradise in the future.
So, Guanyin Bodhisattva took the initiative to persuade him:
"Nine-Headed Insect, I advise you to think carefully and not be impulsive. Do you know what it's like to stay in Jin Guang Temple?
You will have your pipa bones pierced and will never see the light of day again. Although the local land deity, city god, and the temple's伽蓝 will send you a meal every three days, a meal every three days is not a good treatment."
Upon hearing this, Nine-Headed Insect became even more elated.
The Western Paradise was really cunning. They really didn't want to give up such a good opportunity, and even made up a bunch of excuses, saying that he wouldn't be full and wouldn't see the light of day. Hahaha, how ridiculous.
Weren't they just afraid that people would know that they were using Jin Guang Temple to collect merit, and were afraid that everyone would get the benefits?
Hmph, if our General Shadow Demon hadn't told me in advance, I would have been scared away by you.
However, no one can influence my path to enlightenment this time!
Nine-Headed Insect said very firmly:
"Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, I, Nine-Headed Insect, sincerely repent. I should repay the sins I have committed. I, Nine-Headed Insect, am a real tough guy, and I will never run away.
I did it, so I should bear it. Now that someone needs to guard Jin Guang Temple, I can't let other demons bear the punishment for me!
I am a collateral of the Evil Dragon, but I am definitely not as despicable as the Evil Dragon clan. I dare to act and dare to take responsibility. Please let me atone for my sins!"
Nine-Headed Insect was so firm that everyone present was dumbfounded.
Tang Sanzang clapped his hands repeatedly with emotion,
"I respect you as a man, Nine-Headed Insect. I misjudged you before."
A mysterious smile flashed across Zhu Bajie's lips, and he nodded in agreement with a very approving look on his face,
"I didn't expect the collateral of the Evil Dragon clan to have such awareness. In this world of collapsing etiquette, such qualities are commendable."
However, Sun Wukong looked doubtful,
"Is this kid really that good? I don't believe it..."
Although it was just a hunch, Sun Wukong always felt that something was wrong.
Guanyin Bodhisattva and谛听 looked at each other. They didn't expect things to turn out like this. Why did Nine-Headed Insect become such a person in just a few days?
Could it be that he really changed his nature?
It was unlikely, but if he didn't change his nature, why would Nine-Headed Insect willingly go to Jin Guang Temple to guard it? He would be hungry and lose his freedom?
Seeing everyone hesitating, Nine-Headed Insect even took the initiative to look at the Shadow Demon, asking the Shadow Demon to speak for him.
The Shadow Demon coughed lightly,
"Since Nine-Headed Insect is determined, we can't refuse him. Anyway, a demon has to enter Jin Guang Temple to guard it, so who goes is the same, right?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva just glanced at him with pity and said:
"Alright, since Nine-Headed Insect has such a conscious mind, how can we refuse him? Let's leave the task of guarding Jin Guang Temple to him."
Nine-Headed Insect clenched his fist excitedly, "That's great..."
Everyone looked at Nine-Headed Insect, their eyes full of disbelief,
Good heavens, why would someone who voluntarily goes to jail say 'That's great?'
Is the food in jail delicious, or is the soap in jail slippery, or does this jail have something special he needs?
