C108 An Agreement

In the midst of the dense forest.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Zhan Tianming's figure flashed nimbly through the forest like a Demonic Beast.

"Phew, it's certainly not easy to find another path."

"However…"

Zhan Tianming grinned.

He finally discovered a safe and secluded path.

With that, he would now be able to keep Zongzheng Wanyou and Xiang'er away from those assassins.

They would be safe as long as they arrived at the Hundred Nights City.

Speaking of Hundred Nights City, Zhan Tianming still couldn't figure out what was so special about that place that even the Imperial Family wouldn't dare to mess around with them. It was truly a strange occurrence for a city within the territory of the Sky Wind Country to not be under the control of the Imperial Family.

As for Liu Qingcheng and Long Xiaoyao, just who were those two?

Originally, Zhan Tianming had wanted to ask Zongzheng Wanyou and Xiang'er about them a few days ago.

However…

Seeing the two girls in such a state, he ended up deciding against that idea.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Zhan Tianming knitted his brows.

"Where are they?"

Zhan Tianming had already arrived at the place where he split from by Zongzheng Wanyou and Xiang'er. Despite returning to this location, he could not see any signs of them. Looking around the vicinity, he couldn't detect any traces of a fight either.

Those two girls couldn't have left by themselves, right?

Damn it!

They shouldn't joke around like this.

"Bajie, hurry up and take a look at what happened here," Zhan Tianming immediately sent a sound transmission.

Little Purple came out of the War Pet Space and sniffed around the area.

After a while, it revealed an expression far from reassuring and said anxiously, "Master, this is bad. I smell the scent of multiple individuals in this area. Those two beauties might have been taken away by some bad people."

"What?" Zhan Tianming frowned.

He had only left them alone for a while, yet those assassins had already caught up?

God damn it!

If anyone dared to harm the those beauties, it would a wonder if he didn't decide to cripple them.

"Bajie, lead the way."

"Yes, Master."

With that, Little Purple scurried out.

"Damn, why are you so fast?"

Zhan Tianming was startled.

This was the first time he had ever seen Little Purple running. Its speed was ten times faster than when he activated the full power of his Nine Dragons Step. In the blink of an eye, it had completely disappeared.

Fortunately, Zhan Tianming had already established a special master-servant relationship with Little Purple.

No matter how far or where Little Purple went, he could still detect it.

Nine Dragons Step!

Zhan Tianming immediately activated his footwork technique and chased after him.

Now was not the time to be surprised about such trivial matters. Zongzheng Wanyou's and Xiang'er's safety was top priority.

Following the kidnappers' scent, Zhan Tianming quickly realized that Little Purple was gradually heading in the direction of the village at the riverbank.

As expected, when they arrived on the outskirts of the village, Little Purple stopped immediately.

"Master, the scent of those people have just entered the village up ahead," Little Purple transmitted.

Looking at the village in front, Zhan Tianming asked, "Did anything happen to those two girls?"

Little Purple shook its head and replied, "There are all kinds of smells mixed up in the village ahead. I can't pinpoint anything clearly. Furthermore..."

"Furthermore, there's a very powerful and terrifying smell lingering within."

Hearing that, Zhan Tianming frowned.

If that was really the case, then wouldn't Zongzheng Wanyou and Xiang'er be in extreme danger?

Saving them would probably be a difficult task.

However…

No matter how difficult the task, he had to save them.

Then, Zhan Tianming asked, "How powerful?"

"Uh... Master, the smell emitted within is far stronger than yours," Little Purple replied.

"How much stronger?" Zhan Tianming asked.

"Uh... Master, you won't deduct my rations no matter what I say, right?" The Little Purple hesitated for a moment.

"Speak," Zhan Tianming said with a gloomy face.

"Let's put it this way. If that scent was an entire mountain, then Master would be a mere ant on that mountain. Facing that person, you won't even have any right to turn the situation around in your favor. You'd definitely be killed with a single flick," Little Purple explained clearly.

Zhan Tianming's face immediately darkened.

What the hell!

'Am I really that weak when compared to them?'

'Even if I was, you didn't have to describe it in such detail, right?'

Following that, Zhan Tianming said with a dark expression, "Bajie, there won't be any rations for you tomorrow and the day after."

Little Purple was completely stunned.

"Don't be like that, Master. You allowed me to say it." Little Purple revealed an aggrieved expression.

He could actually see a trace of grievance on that pig's face.

Damn!

A Divine Beast was a Divine Beast, something that normal Demonic Beasts could not even compare to.

However, this Divine Beast seemed kind of like a scam.

Finally, Zhan Tianming said, "Alright, I'll give you a chance to atone for your mistake. Listen carefully, sneak into the village and see how those two girls are doing. Analyze the current situation within that village before coming back and reporting it to me."

"Ye, Master, I promise that I'll complete the mission."

Whoosh...

Like a wisp of smoke, Little Purple dissipated into the air.

Zhan Tianming did not at all wait foolishly on the spot as he began exploring the surroundings.

After all, it will be more convenient for him to save them after investigating the area thoroughly.

Half an hour later.

Zhan Tianming and Little Purple regrouped.

"Master, I bring you good news. The two girls are fine, they're just locked up. For the time being, their lives aren't in any danger."

Hearing that, Zhan Tianming heaved a sigh of relief.

That's good.

Nothing happened to his beauties.

Otherwise...

He would not be Zhan Tianming if he didn't end up flattening the whole village.

Finally, Zhan Tianming asked, "Bajie, where are they being held?"

"In the house on the east side of the village," Little Purple said.

"What about the guards?" Zhan Tianming asked.

"There are no guards." Little Purple shook its head.

"What?" Zhan Tianming was startled.

No guards?

How could there be no guards?

Was there some sort of mistake?

Or did you just make up some random information after coming back with absolutely nothing to speak of?

Zhan Tianming looked at Little Purple suspiciously.

"Master, there are really no guards there. I even took the opportunity to pee on Xiang'er's shoes," Little Purple said proudly.

Then, he added, "By the way, Master, I would like to make an agreement with you."

"Starting from today onwards, I will not fight you for the beauty that you've already set your eyes on. Similarly, you will also not fight me either for the beauties whom I've marked with my piss. If you agree to that, I'll tell you another piece of crucial information."

Zhan Tianming stared in belief at Little Purple.

What the hell?!

This bastard was indeed the reincarnation of Zhu Bajie. Otherwise, how could it possibly have proposed such a ridiculous agreement?

It appears that giving him the name, Bajie, wasn't mistake.

But forget it.

"It's a deal," Zhan Tianming said.

Hearing that, the Little Purple revealed a happy expression before transmitting another message, "Master, did you know, the beauty that I previously peed on actually lived in that village. I really did not expect to meet her there."

"Haha... It seems that I truly am fated to meet that beauty."

Little Purple burst into laughter as its pupils turned into hearts.

Zhan Tianming said with a straight face, "Bajie, the crucial information that you mentioned before, was that it?"

Although Zhan Tianming was slightly surprised, how could that possibly be crucial information?

Stop being ridiculous, alright?

Little Purple laughed complacently and said, "Master, don't be in such a hurry. The crucial information that I mentioned before was obviously not about that."

"The crucial information that I mentioned is..."
