Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

Ten or eight items? Guanyin was so angry she was about to vomit blood.

"No way! Chu Hao, don't be too arrogant!"

Chu Hao shrugged. "Calm down, I was just joking. Actually, no one wants to see those Heavenly Kings and Arhats suffering in the Nine Level Sky Prison, so aren't we negotiating here?"

The immortals gasped. Chu Hao was threatening them!

Chu Hao said bluntly:

"Oh, I remember now. The Three Great Heavenly Kings disobeyed His Majesty's decree and privately led one hundred million rebel soldiers to the lower realm. You return those millions of Buddhist soldiers to my Heavenly Court first."

"There weren't one hundred million Buddhist soldiers! They only took forty million!"

"More than that. My Heavenly Court is short one hundred million heavenly soldiers. They must have taken them down there."

"Fifty million! I'll return fifty million at most!"

"No, no, no, this isn't negotiable. All one hundred million heavenly soldiers must be returned. I'm thinking of the order of the universe. Just imagine, even if one heavenly soldier has malicious intentions and disrupts the mortal realm, that would be terrible!"

"Sixty million! No more!"

"Ahem, why doesn't the Great Master understand? The Three Great Heavenly Kings and Five Directional Arhats, several True Immortals, even Heavenly King Mo Lihong is about to enter the Golden Immortal realm. How could that be sixty million? One hundred million is the minimum."

"Ahhh! Chu Hao, don't push it too far!"

"Alright, alright, I won't push it. Guards, go back and execute the gods."

"Stop! Eighty million! Not one more!"

"The way you put it, Great Master, let me analyze it for you again…"

"Eighty-eight million!!!"

"Eighty-eight million, let's round it up to a clean number, ninety million."

"I'm not negotiating anymore. Chu Hao, if you have the ability, let them stay in the Sky Prison forever!"

"Okay, eighty-eight million it is! Congratulations, Great Master, for using eighty-eight million heavenly soldiers and eighty-eight million sets of standard divine armor to redeem the Three Great Heavenly Kings and Five Directional Arhats!"

"Chu Hao, you!!!!!"

"…"

Above the Hall of Universal Brightness, the Jade Emperor and the immortals stared in astonishment at Chu Hao and Guanyin.

Chu Hao's silver tongue was truly impressive. The Three Great Heavenly Kings had only taken forty million Buddhist soldiers, yet Chu Hao had managed to inflate the price to eighty million!

This wasn't just eighty million flies; this was eighty-eight million heavenly soldiers!

Even the Western World wouldn't know how many eons it would take to convert that many heavenly soldiers.

Moreover, they had to throw in eighty-eight million sets of standard divine armor. This was a huge fortune!

Guanyin was so angry that smoke was coming out of her seven orifices. She had lost all composure, her eyes wide with rage, like a vengeful ghost:

"Impossible! Eighty-eight million heavenly soldiers can be given, but eighty-eight million sets of divine armor are impossible!"

Chu Hao suddenly said lightly, "How about I throw in Li Jing?"

Guanyin was furious. "You dare!"

Chu Hao shrugged, proving his point with action, and patted the Fish Belly General and Yaksha General beside him.

"Go, immediately activate the Divine Refining Formation in the Nine Level Sky Prison and refine Li Jing into a pile of fertilizer, just right for watering the flowers."

"I'm sure Heavenly King Li Jing will be very happy to accept, after all, as the saying goes: Fallen blossoms are not heartless things, they turn into spring mud to protect the flowers."

"Even after death, he can contribute to the Heavenly Court's environmental protection. Heavenly King Li Jing must be extremely happy!"

"Understood!" The Yaksha General and Fish Belly General immediately turned to leave!

"Stop!!!!!"

Guanyin gritted her teeth.

"I'll exchange, I'll exchange!"

Chu Hao nodded. "That's right, come back."

The Yaksha General and Fish Belly General hadn't even run out of the Hall of Universal Brightness. Hearing this, they quickly ran back.

Chu Hao suddenly seemed to think of something, took out the Seven Treasure Tree, and said to the Jade Emperor:

"By the way, Your Majesty, I seized this magic weapon from that demon. It so happens that my Sky Prison needs to be cleaned with magic weapons. This Seven Treasure Tree is quite capable of sweeping the floor. Please grant it to me, Your Majesty."

The Jade Emperor raised an eyebrow, almost standing up.

Damn it, the Seven Treasure Tree!

This was the great weapon in the hands of the Buddha Dipamkara, a supreme-grade acquired treasure!

Heaven have mercy, he, the Jade Emperor, as a Quasi-Sage powerhouse, mostly only had ordinary acquired treasures in his hands, with only one or two supreme-grade acquired treasures.

Chu Hao had actually silently swindled the Buddha Dipamkara's Seven Treasure Tree into his hands?

Guanyin, watching from the side, became anxious.

"Impossible! This is the Buddha Dipamkara's magic weapon. It was tricked away by that demon and should be returned to my Western World!"

Chu Hao looked at Guanyin with a foolish expression.

"Great Master, you're mistaken, right? This is the demon's magic weapon. Since I defeated him, it's my spoils of war. Even if it really belongs to the Buddha Dipamkara, the Buddha Dipamkara should go find the deceiving demon, not come to me to get it. Don't you think that makes sense?"

In the Hall of Universal Brightness, Barefoot Immortal, the Four Great Celestial Masters, and Heavenly Born Immortal Lords all gave him a thumbs up.

Awesome! This logic is invincible!

Guanyin was stunned by the bluff. Let the Buddha Dipamkara go find Dingguang Joyful Buddha?

Wouldn't that be shooting himself in the foot?

Seeing Guanyin still looking conflicted, Chu Hao said bluntly:

"Furthermore, this is my Heavenly Court's spoils of war. Now I'm applying to Your Majesty for it as a reward. Please don't overstep, Great Master. Or are you saying that this item was given to the demon by the Buddha Dipamkara to cause chaos in the lower realm?!"

Guanyin stammered, "No, absolutely not! The Buddha Dipamkara can see a bright future. How could he give a magic weapon to a demon for slaughter? Nonsense, it's all nonsense!"

Chu Hao smiled slightly. "That's right, then this is the Heavenly Court's spoils of war."

Chu Hao looked at the Jade Emperor, a knowing expression on his face.

Guanyin also looked at the Jade Emperor nervously.

In this stalemate, the Jade Emperor had to make a decision.

Only the Supreme of the Three Realms could decide the fate of the Seven Treasure Tree.

The Jade Emperor opened his eyes, glanced at Guanyin, and then glanced at Chu Hao. He had already made his decision.
