The Tathāgata Must Fail

Chapter 458: Timely Reminder


"Is the Jade-faced Fox still angry about the child?"

Water Moon Fairy quietly asked Daji.

"Of course."

Daji seemed puzzled: "Fairy, how do you know the reason for Jade-faced Fox's anger?"

"Everyone knows."

Water Moon Fairy said: "Recently, everyone in Lingshan has been listening to Qing Yuanzi's stories."

"That blabbermouth..."

Daji muttered a few words: "We heard it's not just about the child."

Daji continued: "The Jade-faced Fox no longer likes the Bull Demon King."

"Oh?"

Water Moon Fairy slightly frowned, then relaxed.

"I didn't bring any gifts when I came back, so I'll just help him out!"

Saying this, she then found the Bull Demon King.

The Bull Demon King was downcast, and while others were enjoying the feast, he remained silent.

The Jade-faced Fox was standing afar, completely ignoring him.

Under Daji's watch, Water Moon Fairy approached the Bull Demon King, and though it was unclear what she said, the Bull Demon King shook his head and refused.

Water Moon Fairy could only leave.

Qing Yuanzi walked over: "Bull Demon King, the Fairy wanted to help you, why did you refuse?"

"She can't help me."

The Bull Demon King took a swig of his drink: "No one can help me."

Qing Yuanzi frowned slightly, looked around, and whispered: "I'll tell you a secret, Water Moon Fairy is actually the Bodhisattva Guanyin."

"What?"

Bull Demon King looked up in surprise at Qing Yuanzi.

But then, he shook his head again, showing no interest in anything.

"So what if she is the Bodhisattva?"

"You fool, the Bodhisattva can pray for children!"

Qing Yuanzi said.

Bull Demon King frowned: "What's the use of that?"

"Think about it carefully, praying for children, how can there be children without marriage?"

Qing Yuanzi hinted.

"Hmm?" Bull Demon King's train of thought began to turn: "You mean, the Bodhisattva she..."

"Can definitely pray for a marital match!"

Qing Yuanzi answered.

"So that's it!"

Bull Demon King suddenly realized, smacked his own head, and walked towards Water Moon Fairy.

Soon after, he returned with a joyful expression.

"How did it go?"

Qing Yuanzi asked.

"The Bodhisattva said she could help me matchmake."

Bull Demon King replied: "But whether it succeeds or not still depends on me."

Qing Yuanzi quickly congratulated him.

The next day, the Bull Demon King invited the Jade-faced Fox for a date.

After countless rejections, this time the Jade-faced Fox agreed.

"The Bodhisattva has never deceived me!"

Bull Demon King rejoiced greatly, carefully treating the Jade-faced Fox for a day.

After a day of frolicking, as the sun set in the west, the Bull Demon King and the Jade-faced Fox floated on a boat on the lake, feeling the tranquility of the passing years.

As they were about to land, Bull Demon King couldn't resist, nervously asked, "Miss Jade-faced, did you enjoy today?"

"I did."

Jade-faced Fox nodded, then looked at the Bull Demon King.

"But... you should give up."

She said: "I have no intention of getting married."

Bull Demon King's face turned pale: "Why?"

"Can't you figure out the reason?"

Jade-faced Fox sighed.

Bull Demon King shook his head: "I don't understand why you changed suddenly."

"Because it's too insignificant."

Jade-faced Fox replied.

"Insignificant?"

Bull Demon King looked at Jade-faced Fox.

Jade-faced Fox stood up from the wooden boat: "After I left the small world, I didn't want to go through the same experiences as before."

She told the Bull Demon King that when she first took charge of Huaguo Mountain in the small world, she felt fortunate, but later, she realized she did not want that kind of life.

She wanted to go to Wanling Country to witness its development, always feeling that there was no role for her at Huaguo Mountain, so after leaving the small world, she devoted herself to the construction of Wanling Country, not wanting to miss out.

"I don't understand."

Bull Demon King shook his head: "What does this have to do with me?"

Jade-faced Fox's face showed sorrow.

"I want to marry a world-conquering hero."

Jade-faced Fox said: "You are no longer the hero in my heart."

She pointed at Huaguo Mountain amidst the clouds.

"Look at this Huaguo Mountain, after the great battle, it became the heart of the Three Realms, the technologies born here like the Spiritual Network, Rune, Floating Ship, and others, quickly spread across the Four Great Continents."

"This was the path once taken by Wanling Country, which I had missed. But now, as the Three Realms unite, the boundless world has become our territory, presenting before us a picture of unmatched prosperity and flourish."

It seemed there were flames in Jade-faced Fox's eyes: "Everyone is striving for this vision, but you are not."

Bull Demon King angrily exclaimed: "How am I not!"

"Did you learn about the Heavenly Dao?"

Jade-faced Fox asked.

Bull Demon King was stunned, then hesitantly replied: "I, I learned a bit."

"That's not important at all."

Bull Demon King said: "I am the Demon King, Demon Saint, Demon Immortal, what use is learning the Heavenly Dao to me?"

"You are the Demon King, Demon Saint, Demon Immortal, but what about a hundred, a thousand years from now?"

Jade-faced Fox challenged: "You don't fully understand the Heavenly Dao, clinging to your own power, your own position, do you realize what the Heavenly Dao represents?"

Bull Demon King shook his head.

"I'll tell you."

As Jade-faced Fox spoke, she exuded a burst of Immortal Energy.

That intense aura took Bull Demon King by surprise.

"When did you..."

"Wanling Immortal Path."

Jade-faced Fox responded: "I'm not from Wanling Country, but I have cultivated it."

Her passion for the Heavenly Dao was no less than that of the people from Wanling Country.

The Immortal Energy was proof.

"In a hundred years, countless people will become immortals through the Heavenly Dao."

Jade-faced Fox said: "In more years, if you don't advance, even the title of Demon Saint will not be fitting."

Bull Demon King was left speechless.

"I can go study."

He continued.

But Jade-faced Fox shook her head: "You're right, the Heavenly Dao itself is not important."

Bull Demon King looked puzzled.

Jade-faced Fox seemed disappointed, then turned and walked away.

"Come find me when you understand."

In the distance, Sun Wukong watched this scene.

"This is a revolution."

He said: "Only those who keep up with change, those who hold great love in their hearts can guide the beings of the Three Realms, only those who ceaselessly advance can hold important positions."

"Jade-faced Fox can do much more."

Sun Wukong turned and said to Ao Luan: "She has matured a lot from before."

Ao Luan nodded: "When did she become an immortal?"

"I don't know."

Sun Wukong shook his head: "Everyone has their own path, becoming immortal through the Heavenly Dao is even more challenging."

Ao Luan deeply agreed, as those who become immortal through the Heavenly Dao are actually not many.

And so far, all those who have become immortal through the Heavenly Dao possess some qualities and powers that other immortals do not.

"Bull Demon King is foolishly affectionate, but he is not stupid."

Sun Wukong said to Ao Luan: "You could remind him at the right time."

Ao Luan snorted coldly: "I won't remind him."

"At least he has more courage than you."

"..."

Ao Luan suddenly became speechless.
