22 The cave collapsed

Seems like we've arrived, Yu Long" I looked at the gate made of bronze and spoke.

Yu Long, as usual, said nothing, and I remained silent as we approached the gate.

Yu Long looked around and saw two guys collapsed on the ground.

"Master" she tugged at my sleeve.

"Hmm?" I turned back to look at Yu Long and then followed her gaze.

"... Who are these two pervert?"

Both of them exposed their younger brothers, but one had a dented head, while the other... oh my goodness! Who could have mercilessly killed him like that?

"Yu Long, don't look! It'll be too disturbing!"

"But-"

"Just listen to me and come along!"

Yu Long closed her eyes, grabbed my sleeve, and waited for me to lead the way.

I turned back to the bronze gate, looked around, and pondered.

'Should I knock? Even though Yu Long is here to protect me...'

With that thought in mind, I decided to knock on the door. However, before I could do so, a very loud noise came from inside.

Everything around us shook violently, as if there was an earthquake.

"W-What's happening?!" I worriedly clutched Yu Long's leg.

"Master, you're holding on too tightly."

"Oh, sorry."

"It's okay."

After a while, everything stopped shaking, which made me breathe a sigh of relief.

But not long after, the gate was violently pushed open, startling me. What flew out was the corpse of a monster.

To be honest, I don't want to describe that corpse at all, just imagine intestines, liver, and lungs spilling out, with the eyes smashed. It made me feel nauseous.

"Master, don't look" Yu Long warned.

"You're a bit late with the warning..."

Both of us peered inside the cave, seeing many areas in ruins with blood splattered everywhere.

The monster's corpses were scattered about, as if someone had ruthlessly slaughtered them all.

"Was it Wukong's doing?"

"I don't think it was just Senior Sister alone, Master. It seems like they inadvertently got caught in Senior Sister's battle with someone else."

"Are you Detective Conan or something?"

"Who's Conan?"

"You don't need to know."

We continued inside, though I thought it was a pretty bad idea.

"Yu Long, I wants to go outside."

"Master, if you're too scared, just go to the bathroom."

"What do you mean by that?" I frowned at Yu Long, but her stone-faced expression rendered me helpless.

'I'm only human after all... Let's just go to the bathroom...'

Yu Long and I searched for the restroom and found a sign on the wall that read "toilet."

"Ah, here it is."

"Master, go ahead."

'Why is she in such a rush?' I looked at Yu Long and then went inside.

The smell inside was truly awful, making me want to vomit.

"Is this a mix of shits and vomit?!" I complained, looking for a place to wash my hands.

"Huh?" I noticed a bag placed right next to the soap, and it looked very familiar.

"The bag!" I eagerly went over, took the bag, and checked inside. I sighed with relief when I found it was my bag and nothing was missing except the robe.

"Alright, time to find Yu Long and Wukong—"

*CRASH!!

"What?!"

The loud crash shook everything around more violently than ever.

Suddenly, someone flew past me.

"...Yu Long?" I looked at Yu Long, who was bleeding heavily with a broken arm.

"Master, run fast, the enemy is very strong," Yu Long said before flying out, ignoring her severe injuries.

"HUH?!" I panicked and ran out of the restroom.

Light shone into my eyes, and I realized the cave had collapsed, with sunlight now shining in.

"Why don't you DIED?!!!" A voice, unfamiliar to me, echoed from the sky. I looked up and saw...

... a battle among gods?

"GRAAAAAAHHHHH!!!" A roar came from the white dragon, creating storms to attack the girl.

"Get the fuck out!!!" She raised her fist and punched the dragon in the face, sending it flying into the forest.

"Where are you looking?" A voice came from behind her, causing her to turn around and see Wukong preparing to swing his staff towards her face.

She couldn't block in time and was knocked into a rock, hitting her head hard, but no blood flowed.

"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON??" I yelled in fear, looking around frantically.

Then Wukong noticed the scream and saw me.

"Master?! Why are you here? Run away!" Wukong ran over to me, grabbed my ear, and shouted into it.

"Wukong, my ears..."

"Then run away!!"

But it was too late. The girl stood up, her body devoid of any blood but still covered in bruises.

And that girl was only wearing underwear.

"Wait a minute? Is she the pervert?!"

"I've never been hurt like this, and you're the first to withstand so many of my attacks and still live. It's annoying!" She said, glaring menacingly at Wukong.

But when she saw me behind Wukong, her whole body froze.

...

"W-Wukong?? Why is she looking at me like that??"

Wukong didn't say anything, still holding the staff to prepare for battle.

The girl stood still, staring directly at me, her eyes scanning my body, and her face began to... blush?

'Why is her face blushing like a teenage girl experiencing love for the first time??' I felt confused looking at her expression.

Yu Long flew over, blood flowing from her forehead, coming beside me to protect.

The three of us looked at her, no one said anything.

"You..." she was the first to speak.

"Huh?" I looked at her.

"What's your name?"

"????"

'Why is she asking that now??'

"Um... I'm Tang Seng."

"Tang Seng... I will remember that name."

'Why does she remember my name? Is she planning to seek revenge?'

"Alright, I've decided" she approached us, both Wukong and Yu Long emitting hostility but she didn't care.

Then she disappeared.

"Huh?" I startled, realizing she was right in front of me, both Wukong and Yu Long surprised, looking behind.

She held my hand, looking straight into my eyes.

'Wait a minute... I know this!!'

"I'm Heifeng Guan, 193 years old this year. For us monsters, this age is quite young, but if I die later, there will be no one to succeed me" she said, looking into my eyes with anticipation.

"And you are my type. Shall we marry together?" Her eyes formed a loving look, looking at me expectantly.

"..." × 3

Everyone remained silent...

'Am I really that handsome?' I wondered.
