"Transmigrating to Embrace the Beautiful Snake"

Chapter 385: Fahai's Unexpected Reunion

Carrying the treasure they had obtained from the mysterious island, Liu Yu and his companions continued their journey in high spirits. Along the way, they laughed and chatted, recounting their wondrous experiences on the island. Golden sunlight shone upon them, illuminating their expectant faces.

That day, they arrived at a bustling town. The streets were teeming with people, bustling with activity, and filled with shouts and calls of vendors. Vendors enthusiastically hawked their wares, children played and frolicked in the streets, and women browsed fabrics and accessories at their stalls.

"Wow, this town is so lively!" Xiaoqing exclaimed excitedly, looking around with curiosity in her eyes. She kept glancing at the trinkets on one stall and the food on another, never stopping for a moment.

Pigsy was drawn to the food stalls by the roadside, his mouth watering: "I, Old Pig, want to try all this delicious food!" His eyes were fixed on the roast chicken and pastries on the stalls, wishing he could pounce on them and feast immediately.

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Okay, let's find a place to rest first, and then enjoy the food properly." Liu Yu's face was full of ease and joy, and he felt particularly happy looking at his excited companions.

The group entered an inn and had just sat down when they heard a commotion outside.

"Fahai! Don't run!" a sharp voice shouted. The voice sounded particularly abrupt in the noisy street, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

When Liu Yu and the others heard the name "Fahai," they were stunned. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

"Could it be that Fahai?" Xiaoqing whispered, a hint of worry on her face.

They all ran out to see what was happening, and there they saw a monk in a cassock being chased by a group of people. The monk was none other than Fahai. Fahai's cassock fluttered in the wind as he ran, and his face was full of panic and helplessness.

"Isn't that Fahai? What's he doing here?" Xiaoqing exclaimed in surprise. Her eyes widened, unable to believe what she was seeing.

When Fahai saw Liu Yu and the others, he gave an awkward smile: "Oh dear, what a small world!" His voice carried a hint of helplessness and self-deprecation.

It turned out that Fahai had stumbled upon this town by mistake and accidentally damaged a wealthy merchant's valuable item, which the merchant then sent men to demand compensation. As Fahai ran, he explained, "I really didn't mean to! That thing just fell down by itself!"

Liu Yu laughed and said, "Master Fahai, you've finally met your match!" Liu Yu's smile was somewhat mocking. He looked at Fahai's disheveled appearance and felt both annoyed and amused.

Fahai said helplessly, "Amitabha, this is all a misunderstanding." He put his hands together and tried to explain to the people chasing him, but they wouldn't listen at all.

Pigsy snorted, "What misunderstanding? You old monk are definitely up to something again!" Pigsy had never liked Fahai, and now he took the opportunity to berate him.

At this moment, the wealthy merchant and his men caught up: "Don't run, pay for my things!" The wealthy merchant was fat and full of anger, and his men were all fierce-looking.

Fahai quickly hid behind Liu Yu: "Everyone, please help me!" His voice was full of pleading.

Liu Yu shook his head helplessly: "Alright, we'll help you solve this problem." Liu Yu stepped forward and negotiated with the wealthy merchant. He took out some treasures obtained from the mysterious island and compensated the merchant for his losses.

Upon seeing the treasure, the wealthy merchant's anger vanished instantly, and he left with his men, satisfied.

Fahai breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you all." His face was full of gratitude.

The group returned to the inn and sat down to chat. The inn was filled with the aroma of tea, and sunlight streamed through the windows, casting dappled patterns on the floor.

Xiaoqing teased, "Fahai, aren't you always so majestic? How come you're in such a sorry state?" A smile played on Xiaoqing's lips, her eyes full of mockery.

Fahai smiled wryly and said, "Alas, even the best of men can make mistakes." He shook his head helplessly, a hint of embarrassment on his face.

Pigsy burst into laughter: "You old monk, you're quite amusing." Pigsy's laughter made the teacups on the table tremble slightly.

Just then, Fahai's stomach rumbled loudly. The sound was particularly loud in the quiet inn, and everyone couldn't help but laugh.

"Haha, Master Fahai, are you hungry?" Liu Yu asked with a smile. Liu Yu's eyes were full of laughter as he looked at Fahai, waiting for his answer.

Fahai scratched his head sheepishly, "I've been traveling all this way and haven't had a chance to eat anything yet." A blush crept onto his face, making him look somewhat embarrassed.

Liu Yu had a sumptuous meal prepared, including fragrant roast chicken, tender fish, delicious vegetables, and steaming rice. The aroma of the food filled the entire inn, making everyone's mouths water.

Fahai began to eat without any hesitation. He held a chicken leg in one hand and a steamed bun in the other, his mouth dripping with oil as he ate.

"Ah, it smells so good!" Fahai mumbled, his mouth stuffed full. His eyes gleamed with satisfaction, as if he hadn't eaten such delicious food in a long time.

Everyone couldn't help but laugh at his appearance. Xiaoqing laughed until tears streamed down her face, while Zhu Bajie laughed so hard he slapped the table.

After finishing their meal, Fahai said he wanted to travel with Liu Yu and the others. He put his hands together and said sincerely, "After this incident, I feel it's more meaningful to be with you all. Let me travel with you."

"No, no, nothing good ever happens with you around," Xiaoqing objected. Xiaoqing frowned, looking unwilling.

Fahai quickly said, "I promise I won't cause you any trouble this time. I've already reformed." His eyes were full of expectation and sincerity.

Liu Yu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go together then." Liu Yu felt that Fahai might have changed, so she decided to give him a chance.

They continued on their journey, and along the way, Fahai constantly caused all sorts of laughs.

Once, they passed a small river with crystal-clear water and a swift current. Fahai wanted to demonstrate his lightness skill by crossing the river, and he confidently said, "Watch me, I can fly across easily."

As soon as he jumped, he fell into the water and got soaked. He thrashed about in the water, shouting for help: "Help!"

"Haha, Master Fahai, your lightness skill is no good!" Pigsy laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight. He pointed at Fahai, laughing until tears streamed down his face.

Liu Yu and Xiao Qing quickly pulled Fahai ashore. Fahai stood on the shore in a disheveled state, water dripping from his body.

On another occasion, they encountered a street performer who was demonstrating martial arts. Fahai insisted on going up to challenge him, striking a majestic pose and saying, "Let me fight you."

As a result, he was beaten badly and lay on the ground, groaning in pain.

"Oh dear, old monk, your kung fu is too weak!" Xiaoqing said with a laugh, clutching her stomach and laughing so hard she couldn't straighten up.

Fahai blushed and said, "I didn't perform well." He got up from the ground, dusted himself off, and looked unconvinced.

One night, they were camping in the wild. Fahai said he could catch rabbits. He took a stick, quietly walked into the bushes, and said, "Let me catch you a few rabbits."

After chasing them for a long time, he didn't catch a single one and fell several times. He returned covered in dust and grass.

"Fahai, you'd better just sit still," Liu Yu said. Liu Yu smiled and shook his head, finding Fahai truly amusing.

Fahai chuckled awkwardly, "Looks like I still need to practice my rabbit-catching skills." He sat by the campfire, a hint of helplessness on his face.

Although Fahai often made fools of himself, he also brought a lot of joy to everyone. Their journey was filled with laughter and warmth.

One day, they arrived at a village and heard that a monster was causing trouble there. The villagers were all frowning and living in fear.

Fahai volunteered, "Let me subdue this monster!" His face was full of confidence, as if victory was already assured.

The crowd followed him with some skepticism. They arrived at the village square, where a dark shadow flashed by—the monster had appeared.

The monster bared its fangs and brandished its claws, its face contorted in a ferocious grimace. Fahai rushed forward to fight the monster, managing to hold its own for a few moments, but before long, he was beaten black and blue by the monster.

"Oh dear, Master Fahai, this won't do!" said Pigsy. Pigsy stamped his feet anxiously beside him.

In the end, Liu Yu and the others joined forces, each unleashing their own magic and skills. Liu Yu's sword gleamed, Xiao Qing's bells rang clear and crisp, Bai Suzhen's magic was as cold as ice and snow, and Zhu Bajie's nine-toothed rake whistled as he swung it. With everyone's combined efforts, they finally subdued the monster.

Fahai said embarrassedly, "I underestimated my opponent this time." His face was full of shame.

They continued their journey, and through their experiences, Fahai gradually developed a more harmonious relationship with everyone. He became less stubborn and rigid, learning to share joy and face difficulties together with them.

One day, they entered a temple. The temple was solemn and majestic, and the bells rang melodiously.

When Fahai saw the Buddha statue in the temple, he suddenly became serious. He slowly walked to the Buddha statue, his eyes shining with piety.

He knelt before the Buddha statue, praying silently. His lips trembled slightly, as if he were confiding his innermost thoughts to the Buddha.

Liu Yu and the others watched quietly from the side. They did not disturb Fahai, but simply savored the tranquility and solemnity.

After praying, Fahai said, "In the past, I was always focused on subduing demons and monsters, but I neglected many things. The time I spent with you has taught me a lot." His voice was full of emotion and understanding.

Everyone was very pleased to hear this.

They left the temple and continued their journey. Sunlight shone on them, casting long shadows.

Who knows what interesting things await them in the future...
