Villain Tripitaka AU

Chapter 9: The Secondary Option

Tripitaka's POV
The market...

Why do I even bother...?

""Ho ho! Now this is a beautiful carrot! Couple more finds like this baby and we're golden!" It's been a week...

Unfortunately I wasn't going to leisurely wait until they finally dig that crypt up...

How long does it take to dig up an ancient crypt? Especially with someone like DBK...

Honestly...even the crypts power was...

Corrupting...

The Demon Bull King has grown strictly impatient by the day...same thing's been happening with me...

Best to stay away for now...

""Give me that! I wouldn't expect you to appreciate a fine carrot like this. You ain't no culinary genius," now I'm stuck looming over my puppet and the reincarnates of my disciple...well, at least some things change...

Zhu Bajie clearly...even I must admit, this man is quite different to the demon I knew...

His 'culinary delights' used to be...less than ideal...

Though it was within my jurisdiction not to give into guilty pleasures...his dishes were literally health problems placed in a bowl...

The only thing I do hate that hasn't changed is his...

Thing with women...

"My, my, my! You boys are making quite a scene. Looking to buy some ingredients? Something tasty? You've come to the right place."

Looking at that expression, this guy is still the same...

Seriously you have a boyfriend can't you show some restraint?! Wait a minute...

OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD-

"Tang leave now..."

"Uh...oh! Come on, Pigsy, let's just keep going. Huh!?" Of course...he's gotta lean into her huh?! Seriously?! I CAN NOT deal with another one of WUKONG'S EXES! I can't believe these two dated during the journey, all that lovey-dovey, shmuck that lasted for 3 days...

"Tang leave NOW!"

"Are you blind?" Tang spoke "That's right sugar...this is the finest store in the whole market, why don't you come round back and look at my... 'exclusive wares'" Oh come on, that's more suspicious than 80% of my journey! "Pigsy! I'm not sure uhm-" "Don't wreck this for me ! I need this!" I'm having this sense of Deja Vu...

Now that I realize Zhu Bajie did drag me into most of the trouble didn't he?

But again YOU HAVE A FUCKING BOYFRIEND!

Ahem...

May Buddha forgive my soul-

Aaaand their gone...

Welp...now I have to deal with this myself...

And not get eaten the thousandth time...

"You just had to go in there" Tang spoke, annoyed. Tied up in their web they were...they look like babies... "She said she had ingredients!" "I don't think that's what you were looking for Pigsy..." He replied, just as annoyed...as other two men were arguing amongst their wits...

Now...how do I untangle the strings? A little suspicious if I untangle it normally...more suspicious as a Golden Cicada...geez, how'd my disciples get me around with my 'Demon of the Week' antics? "Shhh! Ladies, Hush now, the Queen is back..." Spider Queen spoke from above, and I'm assuming 'back' means she's got something that can make us sweeter. I'm running out of options at the moment...still though, if I do manage to escape here...
