Chapter 8: Chapter 8 White Dragon Brand Cold Dishes
The White Dragon was immediately stunned...
But he soon realized that the bald man was not joking!
So he quickly introduced himself.
"I'm the Third Crown Prince of the Dragon King of the Western Sea, my father is the Dragon King Ao Run. Everything is great in our family; I have both brothers and a harmonious family. The only thing I dislike is that it's truly too dark at home, even though we have Luminous Pearls for lighting, it's still very dark. So, I started lighting fires in my room, and as I was doing so, I accidentally set the house on fire."
Both Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang were speechless. This guy's really a disaster, isn't he?
The White Dragon seemed completely unaware and continued, "But my family is rich, a house is just a house, if it's burnt down, we'll just build another. The problem is, the new house is also dark! So I continued lighting fires in the house..."
Sun Wukong, Tang Sanzang: "@#¥..."
"That day, forget it, I can't explain it, you guys see for yourselves."
Then the White Dragon's eyes shone, projecting an image like a projector.
They saw a bustling palace where a mischievous child was squatting, playing with fire, lighting anything he could with the flames in his hand...
Watching this scene, Sun Wukong understood how he managed to set the house on fire.
If it hadn't caught fire, that would've been the real surprise!
Just then, the Dragon King of the Western Sea ran over exuberantly and handed the child a Luminous Pearl as big as a human head.
Then he excitedly shouted, "Child, aren't you afraid of the dark? The Jade Emperor has bestowed upon us a super large, super bright Luminous Pearl. Take good care of it and do not damage it, otherwise it's your head on the line."
Pfft!

A beam of light made the entire room bright as day!
The Dragon King of the Western Sea looked and saw that the mischievous child had already lit the Luminous Pearl on fire!
The child, looking incredibly happy and sincere, said to him, "Dad, you're right. The Luminous Pearl really is bright when it's lit!"
Then screams of the mischievous child echoed through the Dragon Palace.
Shortly after, the Dragon King's wife shouted, "Old Dragon, what are you doing?! Why are you beating the child so hard!"
After the Dragon King explained the situation, his wife rolled up her sleeves, "Step aside, let me do it!"
...
The White Dragon was already on the execution stand, but thanks to Guanyin Bodhisattva's intervention and plea, he was spared and sent to Eagle Grief Stream, waiting to escort the journey to the Western Heaven as atonement.
Having seen this, Sun Wukong realized that the White Dragon wasn't even an adult yet; he was a genuine brat and an idiot!
So he turned to Tang Sanzang, "Master, what do we do with this...?"
Tang Sanzang pointed to the cauldron, "With this intelligence, he's useless to bring along, and just a nuisance, better stew him."
"No, don't eat me, I'm useful, really useful!" The White Dragon cried desperately.
Tang Sanzang signaled Sun Wukong to stop, then asked, "What use do you have?"
The White Dragon shouted, "Guanyin Bodhisattva meant for me to carry you to the Western Heaven. Think about it, riding on a dragon, how impressive would that be!"
Sun Wukong nodded subconsciously.
However, Tang Sanzang snorted disdainfully, "Riding you would be the embarrassing thing! To us, you're at most a side dish! Wukong, make a big fire!"
The White Dragon, upon hearing this, panicked to the point of nearly losing his soul. He gave it his all, unleashing all his strength, and just as his half-gone body began to regrow before their eyes at a visible speed, he was soon whole again!
The bald man, who was indifferent just a moment ago, had his eyes light up at that instant!
"Run!" The White Dragon soared into the sky, trying to escape.
But Sun Wukong came over and smacked him down with his staff, then lifted his Jingu Bang, ready to strike the fatal blow!
The White Dragon's face was filled with despair, and he closed his eyes to await death.
Just then, Tang Sanzang spoke up, "Wait a minute!"
Sun Wukong's attack stopped instantly, and the White Dragon looked at Tang Sanzang with a sliver of hope, pleading pitifully, "Master, I really am useful."
To their surprise, Tang Sanzang, who had seemed so dismissive a moment before, now had a smile plastered across his face. "I also think you're useful. You have a good recovery ability, eh?"
The White Dragon, hearing Tang Sanzang say this, quickly boasted with pride, "This is my Innate Divine Ability, Regrow Body Parts. Within a day, no matter the severity of my injuries, as long as my core isn't damaged, I can heal rapidly, return to my prime, and reach my peak once again."
The more Tang Sanzang listened, the brighter the light in his eyes shone, and finally, he laughed heartily and patted the White Dragon's head, "Alright, from now on, you'll join me on the journey to the West."
The White Dragon was overjoyed at hearing this and quickly got up, transformed into human form, and kowtowed immediately, "Disciple pays respects to Master."
Just as Tang Sanzang's eyes were gleaming just a moment ago, his brow suddenly furrowed, and he looked at the White Dragon with disdain, "You can transform into a human?"
"Yes..." The White Dragon answered with innocent simplicity.
Dark lines appeared on Tang Sanzang's forehead as he muttered, "How on earth do I eat this... I just can't swallow it in human form..."
Hearing these words, both the White Dragon and Sun Wukong had dark lines on their foreheads, thinking, damn, this guy sees the White Dragon as his personal chive, something to snack on whenever he pleases!
The White Dragon secretly congratulated himself for his unwitting transformation into human form, narrowly escaping a dire fate; otherwise, life would be unbearable.
While he was grumbling to himself, there was a loud rumbling, and looking up, he saw the bald man pulling half a dragon's body out of a pile of ruins, then while wiping his drool, he called out, "Wukong, make a fire, cook! Can't help it, let's satisfy this craving first!"
The White Dragon: "@#¥@...%&..."
The fire was blazing, and the half-dragon's body on the pyre was shining like gold, with fat splattering and fragrance drifting for miles.
Sun Wukong was also eating dragon meat for the first time and kept praising how delicious it was.
The bald man by the side was eating heartily, while kicking the White Dragon, "Hey, come and have some, huh? My culinary skills are still pretty good."
The White Dragon looked up at the sky, speechless, with tears of frustration welling in his eyes.
Seeing this, the bald man dismissively said, "Be content. Where I come from, someone like you wouldn't even be presentable, at best used in a cold dish."
Tears of humiliation filled the White Dragon's face as he thought, "This damn baldy is really bullying dragons too much!"
Sun Wukong then curiously asked, "Master, if dragon meat is just a side dish where you're from, what's the main dish?"
Tang Sanzang pondered with his mouth smacking, and after a while, he said with a crying tone, "Dammit, I can't remember! I just remember it was delicious, but I've forgotten what it was..."
Tang Sanzang looked up at the sky and howled, "Damn it, just how many of my memories did you sever?!"
...
Having had enough rest, it was now dawn.
Tang Sanzang got up and called his two disciples to prepare for the journey west.
After walking a few steps, Tang Sanzang suddenly looked back at the White Dragon, "Did you say earlier that you wanted me to ride on your back?"
The White Dragon nodded, "Ah..."
The next moment, Tang Sanzang was riding on the White Dragon's neck, pointing forward, "Let's go!"
Lines of frustration instantly covered the White Dragon's forehead...
