〔Primordial World setting + timeline after Journey to the West + prosperous Tang opening + a touch of yuri + no romance!〕
What’s it like to wake up as Yang Yuhuan?
Thanks for asking. From the start, the experience has been awful. Some little bastard surnamed Li handed me a strip of white silk and told me to hang myself.
Yang Yuhuan declared: I’m not putting up with this!
So she twisted the throttle and rode her golden finger, the “Tiger Motorcycle,” straight through the imperial palace, reducing it to rubble before speeding all the way out of Chang’an.
But just as she made her escape, she was forced to leap off a cliff tens of thousands of feet high.
Luckily, surviving a leap off a cliff always leads to a miraculous encounter. She inherited the Taiyin legacy of the ancient goddess Chang Xi.
One day, Yang Yuhuan decided to journey west!
With demons and monsters running rampant along the way, she couldn’t exactly travel alone. So she recruited a few “thoughtful” companions to protect her:
“Roc bird, rise with the wind in a single day, and soar ninety thousand miles!” Li Bai drew his sword and transformed into a roc, turning the entire western journey upside down.
“Endless leaves fall with a rustle, while the mighty Yangtze rolls on without end.” After Du Fu recited his verse, leaves rained from the sky and the Yangtze reversed its course, beating the demons until they cried for their mothers.
“In the deep forest, no one knows, as shooting stars come crashing down.” Yang Yuhuan was dumbfounded on the spot. “Wang Wei, this isn’t your usual style! Weren’t you supposed to write about the bright moon shining on us?!”
As for Miss Gongsun, she was even more incredible. Her sword dance shook the four corners of the world, and when the music ended, even the Demon Kings had to kneel and watch.
She thought this was just a remake of the Journey to the West adventure, but who could have guessed that this “Journey to the West five-person party” would somehow get caught up in the battle between Buddha and Demon, Tathagata and Wutian…
How was she supposed to attain immortality now?!
