No, we cannot allow Bai Jin to linger here.

Emperor Jade immediately called out, "Gold Star Taibai!"

Gold Star Taibai briskly walked in from the outside, the horsetail whisk resting on his shoulder. He bowed, respectfully saying, "Your Majesty!"

He glanced at the mess on the ground, his brow twitched slightly. What just happened? Could it be that Emperor Jade and Emperor Gouchen came to blows?

Emperor Jade feigned calm and spoke, "Emperor Gouchen could not hold his liquor. You shall safely escort him back to the Gouchen Emperor Palace."

Gold Star Taibai respectfully replied, "Yes!" He stepped forward and with a lift, Bai Jin gently rose into the air, and he turned to walk outside.

Emperor Jade's expression shifted, suddenly feeling somewhat uneasy. What if Bai Jin exposed his wild and ambitious nature again en route? He immediately said, "Wait!"

Gold Star Taibai immediately halted his steps, puzzled as he looked towards Emperor Jade, "Your Majesty, do you have any further orders?"

Emperor Jade stepped forward, extending a hand, and a piece of Cloud Brocade appeared in his palm. He bunched up the Cloud Brocade into a ball and stuffed it directly into Bai Jin's mouth, patting his hands only then feeling somewhat relieved, and said, "Now, send Emperor Gouchen back."

Eh – Gold Star Taibai hesitantly asked, "Your Majesty, isn't this a bit unfriendly?"

Emperor Jade shook his head and spoke, "Nevermind that, quickly send Emperor Gouchen back. Remember, do not remove this Cloud Brocade before reaching the Emperor Palace."

"Yes!"

Gold Star Taibai helplessly uttered, then proceeded to carry Bai Jin outside, his head full of fog. This Emperor Jade is truly too demanding; it's utterly impossible to keep up with his thoughts! Recalling the six hundred and thirty-first day under the Heavenly Emperor Hao Tian.

Within the Turquoise Pool, Emperor Jade took a deep breath, his heart pounding. No wonder, no wonder Bai Jin often frequents Chaos and the Underworld; it turns out Bai Jin and the two Senior Sisters have an indescribable relationship. I must never drink with my junior nephew again, if he lets this kind of thing slip, the two Senior Sisters will skin me alive!

...

Elsewhere, just as Gold Star Taibai was carrying Bai Jin back to the Bird's Nest, a dazzling Fairy stepped out from within.

Seeing Bai Jin floating in mid-air, Fairy Yunxiao's face changed immediately, she hurriedly approached and anxiously asked, "Gold Star, what happened to the Emperor?"

Gold Star Taibai chuckled and said, "Worry not, Fairy, the Emperor merely had too much to drink at the Turquoise Pool. I have been commanded to escort the Emperor back."

Fairy Yunxiao looked at the Cloud Brocade stuffed into Bai Jin's mouth, the corner of her mouth twitched, and she said unhappily, "Gold Star Taibai, is this how you treat Emperor Gouchen?"

Gold Star Taibai repeatedly bowed, with a wry smile he said, "Fairy, please forgive me. It was Your Majesty who stuffed it there and insisted that it must not be removed before reaching the Gouchen Palace. I really had no choice."

Fairy Yunxiao frowned slightly, Emperor Jade stuffed it? What does he mean by that?

"Hand the Emperor over to me, you may leave, Gold Star Taibai." Fairy Yunxiao extended her hands, and with a surge of immortal power, she lifted Bai Jin, then turned to walk inside.

Gold Star Taibai shook his head helplessly, Fairy Yunxiao seems angry indeed! But truly, this matter has nothing to do with this old man!

...

Two days later, Bai Jin groggily awoke, sitting up with a dazed expression and touched his head, still feeling the aftereffects of a hangover.

Fairy Yunxiao walked in from outside, smiling, said, "Brother, you are awake!"

Bai Jin, rubbing his head, lamented, "The potency of Uncle Master's liquor was truly formidable; I wonder what it was brewed from."

"When Brother was drunk, you cried out with the roar of a dragon. It must have been the Dragon Blood Dao Wine."

"Right, I didn't say anything silly while I was drunk, did I?"

Yun Xiao hesitated before saying, "I didn't hear any drunken babble, but Gold Star Taibai stuffed your mouth when bringing you back, Your Majesty. I suspect you might have said something that the Emperor Jade didn't take kindly to."

Bai Jin was taken aback and muttered, "Something the Jade Emperor didn't like? Could it be that I blasted him for being a bumbling ruler?"

"Junior brother~ Junior brother~ Are you awake?" Gu Liang poked her head in from outside. Seeing Bai Jin sitting up, her eyes shone brightly as she leaped in, exclaiming excitedly, "Junior brother!"

A sense of gratification rose in Bai Jin's heart. My junior sister cares so much about me; my affection for her isn't in vain.

Gu Liang ran to Bai Jin's side, her eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation as she said, "Junior brother, you finally woke up. Can you lend me the remaining one million Merit?!"

Bai Jin frowned slightly, puzzled, "What do you mean by the 'remaining one million Merit'?"

"Buddhism compensated you with two million Merit! You lent a million to the Jade Emperor.

Junior brother, you're so generous! I admire you the most. Is it wrong to lend me the remaining million?"

Bai Jin was slightly stunned, shook his head, closed his eyes, and lied down, mumbling, "I haven't woken up; I'm certainly still not awake!"

"Junior brother~" Gu Liang patted Bai Jin's chest.

Bai Jin opened his eyes, in disbelief, "Could this not be a dream?"

Bai Jin sat up abruptly and shouted in shock, "Impossible, how could I lend a million Merit to the Jade Emperor? He can't repay that."

"Junior brother, the Jade Emperor has your voice recording. There can't be a mistake. And with the Jade Emperor's status, he would not lie about this. That would be fraud, wouldn't it?"

Yun Xiao reminded him, "Junior brother, it might have been when you were drunk."

When drunk? Bai Jin thought hard and vaguely remembered that he seemed to have indeed lent money out while intoxicated.

Bai Jin looked up at the sky, speechless, and sighed, "His Majesty's booze doesn't taste good!"

Gu Liang was filled with anticipation as she said, "Junior brother, since you've already lent the Emperor Jade a million Merit, why don't you lend the remaining million to me?" batting her bright eyes at Bai Jin.

Bai Jin waved his hand and said, "What do you need so much money for? Here's ten thousand. You don't have to pay it back."

Ten thousand? That works! Gu Liang exclaimed with joy, "Thank you, junior brother!"

Bai Jin lay in bed, weakly saying, "Go away with the money, don't disturb me. I'm hungover, my head hurts!"

Yun Xiao chuckled softly. The hangover might be fake, but indeed, lending out so much money would cause a headache.

...

In those two years, in the Lower Realm, Tang Sanzang and his companions encountered the Yellow Wind Demon on the Yellow Wind Mountain. A yellow wind blew so furiously it darkened the skies. Sun Wukong ascended to heaven and brought down Ao Bing. The dragon controlled the winds and storms, killing the Yellow Wind Demon directly.

Lingji Bodhisattva waited for half a day but Sun Wukong didn't cry for help. When she learned that the Yellow Wind Demon was killed by Ao Bing, oh, how she seethed with hate!

At the Flowing Sand River, they encountered Sha Wujing. Sun Wukong couldn't prevail in the battle and immediately went to the Heavenly Court, summoning Nezha with a Dharma Decree to subdue Sha Wujing.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was furious! The Heavenly Court was stealing my Merit again.

After that, Buddhism became wiser, always keeping an eye on the westward progress. Whenever an obstacle came up during the trials, they would proactively show up to help and thus managed to take back the Merit from Wuzhuang Temple.

On a wide road, a horse carriage slowly made its way. Sun Wukong sat on the roof, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing sat on the shaft, driving the horse carriage.
