Journey to the West: Tang Monk Conquers Everything
Chapter 917 - 917: A Woman Should Be Slapped Across the Face

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In the Illusionary Demon Cave, the small whip in Gaoyang's hand made a fierce wind sound as it turned into a shadow of whips, striking towards Jiang Liu.

Gaoyang's face bore a tearful expression, completely having caught Jiang Liu's two-timing evidence, thus her angered appearance.

Watching Gaoyang continuously wave the small whip, Jiang Liu did his best to dodge, his emotions complex.

Jiang Liu didn't expect that in this Illusionary Demon Cave, he would actually see Gaoyang.

What he didn't expect even more was that the target he needed to fight and level up against was actually Gaoyang.

How was he supposed to take action?

Despite knowing full well that the Gaoyang in front of him was just an illusion created by the cave and not Gaoyang's true form,

Her expressions and personality were exactly the same as Gaoyang in every aspect.

Even knowing it's fake, Jiang Liu couldn't bring himself to attack.

"Jiang Liu, I hate you, I hate you..." Tears rolled down continually from Gaoyang's eyes as she shouted loudly.

This expression, this appearance, made it even harder for Jiang Liu to act, feeling only guilt.

"Gaoyang, wait, listen to my explanation..." Under Gaoyang's attack, Jiang Liu kept retreating, speaking up.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

However, what greeted Jiang Liu were still the dense whip shadows, fast in speed and strong in force.

Gaoyang's attack gave Jiang Liu no room to dodge.

After shouting a few words, watching the dense attacks coming his way, Jiang Liu felt silently helpless.

There was no chance to explain himself.

Slap, slap, slap!

Though Jiang Liu dodged most attacks, some he couldn't evade landed on his body, worsening his injuries.

Even his face was struck twice; two bloody marks destroyed his handsome features, making him appear hideous.

Eighteen-Petal Lotus!

Under such intense attacks, overwhelmed, Jiang Liu could only bring out the Eighteen-Petal Lotus in his helplessness.

The lotus flew up, shooting a yellowish beam of light that enveloped Jiang Liu.

The whip shadows fell one after another, striking the lotus's beam, creating ripples.

However, all these attacks were blocked, unable to break through.

"Character UI!"

Checking his health bar, now down to about half, with severe injuries, Jiang Liu focused on Gaoyang, opening her character UI to take a look.

Goodness, as his cultivation level increased, the monsters in the Illusionary Demon Cave also evolved, and Gaoyang's level turned out to be 80, with a blue UI.

In terms of level, this was like the peak of a Taiyi True Immortal.

Slap, slap, slap!

While Jiang Liu checked Gaoyang's character details, Gaoyang's attacks never ceased, layers upon layers of whip shadows pouring over the lotus's defense, causing the light screen's ripples to become more turbulent.

Seemingly, it could collapse at any moment.

"Can't go on like this; getting hit without responding won't do. I should find a way to subdue her first!" Jiang Liu thought to himself while maintaining the lotus's defense.

Determined, Jiang Liu extended his hand towards Gaoyang, casting the Silencing Zen skill upon her.

Silencing her power like dead water, unable to stir.

Then, Jiang Liu raised his hand again, performing the Healing Holy Hand skill, a Holy Object descending from the sky towards Gaoyang.

Unable to channel her inner strength, facing the descending Holy Object, Gaoyang couldn't dodge or block it.

Ultimately, she was heavily pinned to the ground by the Holy Object, unable to move.

As the Holy Object landed, an invisible wave quickly spread out, passing over Jiang Liu and rapidly healing his injuries.

Taking a deep breath, the Eighteen-Petal Lotus that previously enveloped Jiang Liu now soared into the air, situating itself above Gaoyang.

Soon, the yellowish light also enveloped Gaoyang.

While covering Jiang Liu, the lotus released a defensive ability.

But now, enveloping Gaoyang, the lotus emitted a power of restraint.

The Healing Holy Hand's duration is only 30 seconds, not long, but not short either.

In no time, 30 seconds passed, and under this healing effect, Jiang Liu's health point, which was originally halved, also rose back to around eighty percent, reaching a safer range.

Bang bang bang!

After the Holy Object pressing down on her dissipated, Gaoyang got up and naturally continued attacking the beams of light shot out by the Eighteenth Grade Lotus, trying to break free from this imprisonment and escape.

However, even though the Eighteenth Grade Lotuses are of Divine Level Quality, their quality is much higher than that of Ninth Grade Lotuses.

Moreover, Jiang Liu himself has a level of 77.

Therefore, after these Eighteenth Grade Lotuses had imprisoned Gaoyang, she tried every possible method to attack, yet still found it difficult to escape.

"Okay, now, can we have a good talk?" After imprisoning Gaoyang with the Eighteenth Grade Lotus, Jiang Liu said.

"Jiang Liu, how dare you lay hands on me? You actually dare to imprison me!" Under the imprisonment of the Eighteenth Grade Lotus, Gaoyang had attacked for quite a while but couldn't break free at all, and then shouted at Jiang Liu in a fit of rage.

"I just want to have a good chat with you, don't you give me the chance to talk?" Hearing Gaoyang's indignant shout, Jiang Liu helplessly spread his hands and said.

"Why should I talk just because you want to? I don't want to talk to you now!" Unable to break free, Gaoyang turned her face away, looking somewhere else, clearly showing she didn't want to talk to Jiang Liu.

"Then, then, let's talk when you feel like it!" Seeing Gaoyang's appearance, Jiang Liu fell silent for a moment and then shook his head slightly.

Meanwhile, sitting beside, of course, the lotus's imprisonment of Gaoyang still maintained.

"Hey, you stayed with the King of the Women's Kingdom and even had a daughter, and now you're too lazy to even explain?" Just as Jiang Liu sat down, the nearby Gaoyang suddenly shouted at him, looking even angrier.

"Weren't you the one who said just now you didn't want to talk?" Hearing Gaoyang's words, Jiang Liu said somewhat baffled.

"I say I don't want to talk, and you really stopped talking? If I told you to die, why don't you go and die?" Gaoyang frowned unhappily, shouting at Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu's expression was somewhat displeased, but in the end, he was indeed at fault, so he took a deep breath to suppress the anger in his heart.

Jiang Liu forced a smile and said, "Gaoyang, actually, what happened was, at the time I..."

"I don't want to hear it, I don't want to hear!" But as soon as Jiang Liu started speaking, Gaoyang immediately covered her ears, showing impatience.

"Hey, you're being a bit much now..." Jiang Liu's face showed displeasure as he frowned and said to Gaoyang.

"You, you made the mistake yourself, yet you're still scolding me? You don't love me anymore, you want to be with the King of the Women's Kingdom, don't you? I get it; I am just a princess, but she is a king..." Jiang Liu's unpleasant demeanor made Gaoyang look even more aggrieved.

"Is it the difference between a princess and a king?" Jiang Liu's face grew more unsightly.

Sometimes, one can be magnanimous and tolerate things, but isn't there a limit to one's patience?

"That's exactly what it is. Well, Jiang Liu, you are just fickle, easily swayed – you're not a real man, you..." Pointing at Jiang Liu, Gaoyang was evidently extremely angry and lashed out at Jiang Liu without filtering her words.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liu stood up and walked step by step towards Gaoyang.

"What now? Are you trying to apologize? I won't listen! I won't listen, I will not forgive you!" Seeing Jiang Liu walking towards her step by step, Gaoyang turned her head away, still appearing not wanting to listen.

Slap!

Suddenly, a crisp slap sounded.

Gaoyang's face showed a clear slap mark, and with her hand covering her cheek, Gaoyang's eyes widened, she looked at Jiang Liu in shock, appearing momentarily in a daze.

Evidently, she completely didn't expect Jiang Liu would give her a big slap.

Having reached the limit of his patience, after delivering the slap, Jiang Liu didn't say a word and silently withdrew the imprisonment of the Eighteenth Grade Lotus.

"Gaoyang, I will say this once: if you dare to lay a hand on me again, I won't hold back!" After slapping Gaoyang, Jiang Liu's eyes carried a chilling intent as he earnestly stared at her and said.

The stern expression showed Jiang Liu was completely serious and not joking.

Seeing Jiang Liu looking serious, Gaoyang, for the moment, didn't dare to act recklessly anymore.

"Alright then, Jiang Liu, tell me what's really going on between you and the King of the Women's Kingdom? How do you have a daughter with her?" After a moment of silence, Gaoyang instead calmed down.

"Actually, what happened was..."

Jiang Liu began talking, without any intention of concealing, completely explained the events that occurred when he was in the Women's Kingdom to Gaoyang.

"That's what happened, it's not that I fell for someone else, it's just that it wasn't my subjective will at that time..." After narrating what happened in Women's Kingdom, Jiang Liu concluded.

"I see, I understand now!"

"Since you didn't actually fall for someone else, I forgive you!"

"Strictly speaking, you are also a victim!"

Gaoyang nodded, showing she forgave Jiang Liu.

Then, her figure turned into a swirl of smoke, dissipating into nothingness.

"Uh, is this Heart Demon considered overcome?"

"Indeed, sometimes, women need a bit of that treatment?"
