384: Scolding a bald donkey in front of a monk

Bang!

The skull on the Ghost King's forehead seemed to crack, but it quickly returned to normal. After all, this was in the Sea of Consciousness, and he was now nothing more than a complete soul.

Of course, this was also because Tang Ku did not intend to kill him just like that.

His fist was half a meter away from the Ghost King's forehead, suspended in mid-air!

The Ghost King gulped; if he were in a physical state, he would surely have wet himself!

Slap!

Tang Ku grabbed him by the neck and said coldly, "Where is the head?"

"I... I'll take you there! I'll take you there!"

The Bei Mang Mountain Ghost King trembled like chaff, knowing that Tang Ku had truly intended to kill him just now, because that almost tangible Killing Intent could have nearly frozen his soul.

"Lead the way, I'll take you there!"

As he spoke, Tang Ku already used his other hand to grab him by the neck and flew up while carrying him.

The Ghost King trembled, not daring to disobey, and had no choice but to point out the direction to Tang Ku.

The world of the Sea of Consciousness is essentially the world where a person's soul resides. In this world, strange changes occur according to the master's subconscious. Since the Ghost King was currently half the master of this Sea of Consciousness, when he was filled with fear, even every living thing and object here became timid. Even when the two walked through a forest with no path, the flowers and trees would very carefully make way for them.

Before long, the two arrived at a place that looked like an altar. The altar was not high, about three meters, and a creature resembling a crow was enshrined on top.

"Oh? A Three-Legged Golden Crow?"

Tang Ku recognized the creature's identity at a glance and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Uh, yes... yes, this is Red Boy's head, and it is also the Incarnation of this Three-Legged Golden Crow!"

The Ghost King shrank his head and coughed lightly, "Ahem, well, the reason we chose Red Boy as the host is actually precisely because of this. Because Red Boy is the Reincarnation of one of the Golden Crows shot down by Yi when he shot down the nine suns, he possesses abundant fire nature, which just happens to allow the wind-attribute Divine Ability I use to reach its peak, so that's why..."

"Then how... should I take that guy away?"

Tang Ku saw that the black crow seemed to be dozing off and frowned slightly, "Won't there be any danger if I take him by force?"

"He is currently in an unconscious state, and he won't wake up even if you take him, unless he is connected to Red Boy's limbs, then he will wake up..."

The Ghost King's smile was actually somewhat fawning, "You see, I have already taken you to find him, could you perhaps..."

"Once I have saved and awakened Red Boy, I will naturally let you go!"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "I keep my word... And if you dare to play any more tricks, for instance, doing something to Red Boy's soul... Heh, then you will all be annihilated together!"

"Yes, yes, yes... Wait... Wait for the Holy Monk to save and awaken Red Boy before letting me go, I trust you!"

The Ghost King nodded hurriedly.

"Heh, you were at least an Emperor of humanity once, why are you so inconsistent in your attitude?"

Tang Ku narrowed his eyes and said, "Aren't you afraid of others laughing at you?"

"Heh, so what if they laugh? When I was alive, was I laughed at any less by them?"

The Ghost King suddenly said disdainfully, "It is better to live in disgrace than to die well. Only by living do I have a chance; if I die, then everything is over!"

"You still want a chance? What kind of chance do you want?"

Tang Ku sneered, "With us protecting the foundation of the Great Tang, you have no chance!"

"Heh, this chance is not about becoming the Emperor of the human world again..." A different quality seemed to emerge from the Ghost King, and Tang Ku felt as if he were facing one of the Emperors of the Great Tang.

However, knowing that he wouldn't tell him what it was, Tang Ku did not ask further. Instead, he gripped the Ghost King's neck, leaped onto the altar, reached out his left hand, and cradled the palm-sized Golden Crow in his hand.

"Hmm? As expected of a Three-Legged Golden Crow, it's actually warm..."

The Golden Crow's feathers were very soft. It lay in Tang Ku's hand with its head tilted, actually appearing somewhat cute. This made Tang Ku click his tongue and say, "If this were a girl, she would definitely keep it as a pet... Heh, not bad, not bad..."

With his right hand clutching the Ghost King and his left hand holding the Golden Crow, Tang Ku quickly returned to the side of Red Boy's huge body.

As if hit by a flash of inspiration, he directly pressed the Golden Crow in his hand onto the neck position. Immediately after, the Golden Crow suddenly woke up, "cawing" at the sky. Then, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a loud thunderclap accompanied by golden lightning struck the huge body fiercely.

Boom!

After a cloud of dust settled, a small child less than four feet tall appeared before Tang Ku, yawning and saying, "Ugh... how long have I been asleep... Hmm, hmm? You monk, why do you look so familiar?"

Tang Ku couldn't help but curl his lip and say, "Is that how you speak to your savior? You child have no manners at all... You're not even wearing pants. Tell me, does your mommy know you're acting like a hooligan like this?"

Red Boy widened his eyes, curled his lip, and said, "Monk, do you know you've provoked the wrong person? I am the Holy Infant King of the Fire Cloud Cave in the Dry Pine Ravine of the Drill-Head Mountain, and my father is the Great Sage Equaling..."

"Slap!"

Red Boy was slapped to the ground. After a long time, he covered his face and jumped up, saying, "You stinking bald donkey, you're dead, you're dead! I'm going to kill you right now!"

As he spoke, he looked around for a weapon, wanting to fight Tang Ku to the death!

"Slap!"

Red Boy was slapped to the ground again. He covered his face and jumped up once more, furious and about to attack, and then...

"Slap!"

Fell down!

Stood up!

"Slap!"

Fell down!

Stood up...

This repeated more than a dozen times. When he stood up again, he was covering his face and bowing his head, saying gloomily, "Can you not hit me in the face?"

"I hit you in the face because you still call yourself the Holy Infant King. Don't forget that besides being a demon, you are also the Disciple of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva of the Purple Bamboo Grove on Mount Luojia in the Southern Sea. You are the Child of Wealth!"

Tang Ku pointed at his head and suddenly shouted, "Why aren't you waking up yet, what are you waiting for!"

Hum!

The entire Sea of Consciousness was filled with the sound of chanting. Red Boy stood there, stunned. Immediately after, a light suddenly appeared on his bare body. He was suddenly wearing a red cloth bib, with a moth-yellow long-sleeved shirt on the outside, and a pair of azure blue pants on the lower body. He was barefoot, and on his head were the legendary double sun and moon buns. Looking at him, the kid actually seemed like a porcelain doll, quite cute.

His consciousness quickly cleared. He stared at Tang Ku in a daze for a long time before finally exclaiming, "Holy crap, aren't you that bald donkey who went on the pilgrimage?"
