The White Dragon Horse, hooves pointed west.
Having lingered in the Golden Helmet Cave for two months, it was as if Jiang Liu had gained an extra two months of time, which naturally was a good thing.
Moreover, after levelling up to level 56, Jiang Liu found that he could now form a team with the White Dragon Horse.
In these days, Jiang Liu had Sun Wukong activate the Map of Mountains and Rivers numerous times, almost constantly immersing themselves in the dungeon with the White Dragon Horse.
Riding atop a White Dragon, the level 66 Golden BOSS version of the White Dragon, plus the three thousand Fire Dragon Soldiers from the Golden Haze Crown.
When Jiang Liu exited dungeons, it was almost like a forceful sweep through them, and the speed of clearing them became even faster.
Take the Spirit Mountain dungeon, for instance, even when facing the Tathagata, Jiang Liu could easily overcome the challenge. With Jiang Liu’s support, Little White Dragon had the strength to easily defeat the level 65 Golden BOSS version of the Tathagata.
So, another half a month passed, and Jiang Liu was gaining around 4 million Experience Points every day; in half a month, that amounted to nearly 70 million Experience Points accrued.
Such a terrifying pace of improvement gave Jiang Liu even more motivation.
Checking his character panel, it seemed that in a couple of days, his level could rise to 57.
Of course, it’s worth mentioning that with each increase in level, the amount of Experience Points needed for Jiang Liu to level up increased as well.
To go from level 56 to 57, the required Experience Points had already reached 120 million.
...
That day, after an unknown period of travel and as the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Liu and the others arrived by a river’s edge. There, they took out the Exquisite Immortal Mansion and set it down.
"Hmm, in these days, after running through more than a hundred dungeons, Xiaobai has finally gathered a full set of equipment, very impressive!"
After entering the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, Jiang Liu mentally summoned it and, after looking at the White Dragon Horse’s character panel, nodded with satisfaction.
In recent days, the White Dragon Horse had also acquired a full set of nearly Legendary Level equipment, fully armed to the teeth, and its overall strength had greatly increased.
As the White Dragon Horse’s strength increased, as expected, the speed of running dungeons with it became faster, and naturally, Jiang Liu’s own leveling speed increased as well.
Those who play games know that this kind of situation, where you have someone to lead the leveling, is when you level up the fastest.
What a pity that the restriction for forming a team is that the companion’s level cannot exceed one’s own by more than 10 levels, otherwise, by now, I probably would have already reached the realm of Heavenly Immortal, or even Taiyi True Immortal.
"Master, you seem to be in a pretty good mood today!"
As Jiang Liu was silently rejoicing while looking at the White Dragon Horse’s character panel, Zhu Bajie suddenly spoke up at his side.
"Second Brother, today Master gave me a Yinlong Sword; it’s very powerful. Over these days, Master has already given me ten Dharma Treasures!" With Zhu Bajie’s words, the White Dragon Horse, who had just exited the dungeon with Jiang Liu and transformed into its human-like appearance, also said with a joyous expression on its face.
With nearly Legendary Level equipment enhancement, White Dragon Horse could feel a significant improvement in its overall strength.
What was more important was that with the Master’s battles, White Dragon Horse also felt that its Cultivation Level seemed to be growing, which filled it with eagerness.
"It’s over…" However, upon hearing White Dragon Horse’s statement, Zhu Bajie looked as if he wanted to cry but had no tears.
He had always felt that Master liked him the most, yet now it seemed Master liked Xiaobai even more.
These past few days, they were always with Xiaobai day and night. Could it be?
All along this journey, Master rode atop Xiaobai; did he develop real feelings from all that riding?
At this thought, Zhu Bajie looked at the exchanged glances between Jiang Liu and White Dragon Horse and saw them in a new light.
If he thought about it, it seemed there was quite a possibility! Otherwise, why would all those Female Demons express their love openly, and Master remained indifferent?
"Bajie, what is that look in your eyes!?" Although Jiang Liu didn’t know what kind of indecent thoughts were going through Zhu Bajie’s mind, his lewd gaze made Jiang Liu frown slightly and he asked not too kindly.
"Nothing, nothing, Master. I, Old Pig, just realized we haven’t had hotpot for some days now! How about it? How about having a good meal for lunch today!?" Zhu Bajie shook his head, naturally, he wouldn’t voice his own thoughts and simply asked instead.
"Hotpot, huh? That sounds good!" Hearing Zhu Bajie’s suggestion, Jiang Liu pondered for a moment and felt it wasn’t a bad idea.
It had been some time since they had hotpot, and he was missing it as well.
"Junior Brother Sha, let’s go, let’s get ready!" Hearing Master agree, Zhu Bajie jumped up with joy and said to Sha Wujing, and the two naturally hurried to prepare the things needed for the hotpot.
"Alright! Second Brother!" Sha Wujing nodded his head but didn’t think too much about it.
Preparing for hotpot naturally involved chopping and washing vegetables.
However, Sha Wujing went to the ancient well beside the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, peered inside, and found that the well water had almost dried up.

Seeing this, Sha Wujing turned around and left the Exquisite Immortal Mansion. Then, not far from the river, he used a spell to draw some river water and directly poured it into the ancient well.
The Exquisite Immortal Mansion, although it had an ancient well, was just a decoration, and the water inside the well could not self-replenish.
So, after the water was used up, one had to refill the well oneself.
This was just a minor interlude, although Zhu Bajie was somewhat lazy, Sha Wujing was still quite sprightly.
So, it didn’t take much time, and soon, everything needed for the hot pot was prepared, and the broth was already boiling hot.
As all of this was ready, the sky had also darkened, and master and disciples gathered around the Eight Trigrams Hot-Clear Pot to start eating swiftly.
With the hot-clear pot’s attribute that increased the deliciousness of food, master and disciples enjoyed drinking and eating hot pot very much.
Only, Zhu Bajie’s gaze kept darting around Jiang Liu and the White Dragon Horse while eating, and occasionally, he would flash a mysterious smile.
"Bajie, what exactly are you thinking about in that head of yours? Why do I feel like you’re off today, always thinking about some filthy things? Your gaze is so irritating!"
It wasn’t the first time noticing that Zhu Bajie’s gaze was peculiar, and finally, Jiang Liu put his chopsticks down and spoke up.
"Yes!"
Following Jiang Liu’s words, the White Dragon Horse, in human form, also laid down his chopsticks, and looking at Zhu Bajie, said, "Master, I also think there’s something off about Second Senior Brother’s gaze, he has looked at me quite a lot today too!"
"You fool, what’s going on?" Hearing what Jiang Liu and the White Dragon Horse said, Sun Wukong also put down his chopsticks and grabbed Zhu Bajie’s ear, asking.
"Ah! It hurts, it hurts..." Zhu Bajie yelled loudly in pain as Sun Wukong directly grabbed his ear.
Upon finally getting Sun Wukong to let go, Zhu Bajie then hinted, "Master, these recent days, Xiaobai has been mainly in human form, hasn’t he?"
"That’s right, is there a problem?" Jiang Liu said, nodding his head with curiosity when looking at Zhu Bajie.
These recent days, they had been going into instances together with the White Dragon Horse. Having him in human form was simply due to circumstances.
"Master, these past few days, you have given Xiaobai quite a few Dharma Treasures too, right?" Zhu Bajie followed up with another question.
"Yes!" Jiang Liu nodded again.
His own equipment was almost complete, and the loot that he was currently getting was mostly level 60 and above, which just so happened to suit the White Dragon Horse perfectly, so helping him collect a set of equipment was only logical.
"So, I think that you, Master, have been particularly close with Xiaobai recently!" As Jiang Liu nodded twice in a row, Zhu Bajie again revealed a lecherous smile.
While talking, Zhu Bajie glanced at the White Dragon Horse and made an even more explicit comment, "Actually, if we talk about it, Xiaobai’s appearance in human form is quite handsome. No wonder, Master, that along the way you turned a blind eye to the active love confessions of many female demons!"
"You, you pig, what’s clogging your head all day long!?"
Having Zhu Bajie’s words brought to this point, how could Jiang Liu not understand what Zhu Bajie meant? He watched Zhu Bajie with mixed feelings of amusement and exasperation.
Can we say it’s just like Zhu Bajie? Such a thought would only occur to him, right?
"Second Senior Brother, what are you talking about, how could that be possible between me and Master!?" Zhu Bajie’s words naturally made the White Dragon Horse realize what was being implied, and his face turned red with anger.
"Hehehe, Xiaobai, I never expected that you and Master could actually, hehehe, be entertaining, quite entertaining..."
It didn’t matter that the White Dragon Horse was angry, what was important was to see Jiang Liu flustered, which made Sun Wukong secretly snicker in delight.
Indeed, throughout their journey, he had almost never won a verbal bout against the master, and today, seeing him at a disadvantage felt exceedingly good.
Although Bajie’s thoughts were somewhat indecent and dirty, seeing the master in such a state made Sun Wukong feel it was totally worth it.
"Big Brother, even you!?" Hearing Sun Wukong talk, the White Dragon Horse felt like crying.
The White Dragon Horse always thought that he had a pretty good relationship with the Big Brother. At the beginning, when the master didn’t want him, it was the Big Brother who helped out, and now, even he was joining in.
"Cough, cough, cough, I remember Xiaobai once said, the master is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and he treats him very well!" At this time, Sha Wujing also spoke up, delivering a divine finishing blow.
"You guys, you guys..." Seeing the looks on his senior brothers’ faces, the White Dragon Horse’s face turned beet red.
Just then, his complexion suddenly changed, and he clutched at his stomach while crying out in pain.
"Xiaobai, what’s wrong with you?" Jokes aside, seeing the White Dragon Horse like this, Sun Wukong asked.
"I, my stomach hurts!" Holding his stomach, the White Dragon Horse said in agony.
"Stomach ache? When I, Old Sun, was cultivating Taoism, I also casually learned a bit of medicine. Let me take your pulse!" Hearing the White Dragon Horse’s words, Sun Wukong said.
In the meanwhile, Sun Wukong grabbed the White Dragon Horse’s wrist.
After taking the pulse, his expression turned very odd.

"How could this be? Could it be a mistake?" Sun Wukong’s face looked strange as he shook his head.
He took the pulse again, but his expression was still odd.
"Big Brother, what exactly is it?" Zhu Bajie asked from the side.
"This, it seems like Xiaobai has a joyful pulse, he’s pregnant..."
