Hong Jun let out a wry smile, "Can't just not go back?"
Tang Sanzang shook his head, "Of course not! The main reason is my aunts are missing a fourth for mahjong. They don't like the way I play, and you're good, so hurry back."

Upon hearing this, Hong Jun immediately grew anxious, "You TM either cheat by palming cards or hide them, and when caught, you're as shameless as a pig not afraid of scalding water, pissing over everyone's table from the rafters. Who'd play with you?"

"So, you see, you've got good character, hurry back. Don't worry, I've got your world covered," Tang Sanzang said.
Hong Jun was stunned, "What? What do you mean?"
Tang Sanzang grinned, "I've discovered that it's more fun outside the village, so I've decided to skip town too! First, I'll splash out a few tens of thousands and see!"
Hong Jun couldn't help but roar, "You TM brought me back just to skip town yourself? Are you even human?"
Tang Sanzang cocked his head, looking at him with a smile that seemed to say, I've never been human!
Hong Jun: "..."
"Do I really have to go back? Can't I just skip town with you? I know my way around out here, whatever world you want, I'll set it up. How about a world full of beauties?" Hong Jun asked.
Tang Sanzang narrowed his eyes, "Are you trying to bribe this Pursuing Officer? I am utterly upright, resolute in righteousness, and strictly adhere to the village rules!"
Hong Jun swept out his hand, "Cut the crap, if you were sticking to the rules, would you even think about skipping town? Name your price."
Tang Sanzang said, "About my disciples..."
Hong Jun said, "Done deal, they'll all enter my Pan Gu world upon returning, starting as thirteen-star Saints, guaranteed not to be bullied, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Huang and the others felt like banging their heads against the wall. They had toiled for so many years, yet here someone negotiated their status in just a few words... They really felt like dying.
Besides, with this bald guy backing them, who TM would dare to bully his disciples?
Those who clearly weren't good birds, to begin with. It'd be a lucky day if they didn't cause trouble!
Just then, Greenwood God King suddenly rushed over, clinging to Tang Sanzang's thigh, "Elder, wherever you live, you'll need a gardener, right? What do you think of me? I may not have many skills, but I can control plants, or at the very least, I can trim your trees and bushes."
Before Tang Sanzang could come back to his senses...
The Great Emperor ran over too, "Elder, wherever you are, you'll need someone to run errands, right? I'm not good at much, but I'm fast on my feet."
Bright Great Emperor shouted, "Elder, your home needs to be lit up, right? I think I'm up for that job."
Bai Huang also joined in, "I'm good with garbage disposal, I assure you I'll keep things clean and tidy."
...
Watching these guys who were ready to go all out against him just a moment ago, now collectively switching sides, Tang Sanzang didn't feel any revulsion.
After all, everyone's just trying to survive, right?
But!
Tang Sanzang said, "Previously, you all destroyed the Pan Gu world, and its beings are nearly extinct..."
Bai Huang immediately shouted, "Not extinct, I've been collecting the True Spirits. Just waiting to take over Pan Gu world, reverse time, and bring them all back to life... We don't want to live in chaos either, we also crave the good life."
Hong Jun said, "I'll just trace back time when I return, everything can be restored to its original state. Baldy... Tang Sanzang, Brother Tang, can you help a brother out and not send me back?"
Tang Sanzang crossed his arms, "I might not send you back, but the village chief has to agree."
Right at that moment, the divine gate opened, and a bold and hearty voice came through, "I agree, the both of you stay out there! This new guy is fun to play with; you can squeeze him into different shapes. Let's play with him for now... Besides, Sanzang, if you're not busy, just stay out there and have fun. If it gets dull, go cozy up with Pan Gu. After so many years of our training, he's tough-skinned and can handle a lot. We old bones are worn out and can't take it anymore."
Then the divine gate closed.
In that moment, Tang Sanzang's face was a picture of bewilderment. After a long while, he looked at Hong Jun, "I... I have a feeling I've been swindled."
Hong Jun said, "Be confident, it's not just a feeling, it's a fact! Now I know why I could come out from the divine gate under Liu Shu's watch. They used my capture as a pretext to lure you out!"
Curious, Sun Wukong asked, "Master, what outrageous thing did you do in the village to make them resort to such measures to get you out?"
Tang Sanzang glared at him, "What are you talking about? How could someone as harmless as your master do anything bad?"
Hong Jun laughed, "Yeah, what bad things could he do? Your master at most has hung girls' underwear on the main street...
Pissed in the booze of drunkards;
Chopped down Old Tree Monster's beloved gada tree;
Cheated at cards and engraved others' embarrassing stories on the village entrance's big stele...
"
Tang Sanzang hastily exclaimed, "Stop, wasn't I young and ignorant then?"
Zhu Ganglie said, "Master, it's a miracle you weren't beaten to death."
Hong Jun said, "He couldn't die, the village chief is his grandfather."
Zhu Ganglie, Sun Wukong, Bai Huang, and the others looked at Tang Sanzang with even more admiration.
The one who could be village chief in such a fearsome place must be the most terrifying!
No wonder this guy claimed he was born strong. It turned out to be true.
However, they say affection skips a generation, yet his grandfather didn't seem too fond of him either. This guy's life was indeed quite pitiful.
But considering his devious nature, it seemed he got what he deserved.
Tang Sanzang waved his hand, "Alright, enough jabbering about useless things. Let's go home!"
With that, Tang Sanzang waved his hand and transported everyone into the Pan Gu world.
Having regained his Divine Skills memories, Tang Sanzang could completely disregard the rules of Pan Gu world, forcibly entering and exiting at will.
