Chapter 562: Piggy Bro And Little Pig
Bajie carefully walked in. His mouth was still greasy; he was clearly enjoying life far too much for someone stuck in Subspace.
“Monkey Bro! Long time no see,” Bajie greeted cheerfully as he trotted over. “Were you also teleported into Subspace by that bastard Barush? Wait, no... he’s guarding the door. Did you come here together?”
Li Xiaofei raised an eyebrow, confused. “You... you guys?”
He glanced at the Golden Lizard standing nearby.
“This is my big bro!” Bajie declared proudly, puffing out his chest. “A true big shot. We’re sworn brothers... sealed by roasted meat!”
To Bajie, eating his big bro’s roasted tail was a bond far stronger than any blood oath.
Li Xiaofei burst into laughter. “Haha, what a coincidence, huh? Turns out we’re all brothers here! What did you ask me earlier? Why am I here? Of course, I wasn’t teleported by that mutt Barush. I came willingly, risking life and limb, to find and rescue you. If you don’t believe me, ask Barush yourself.”
Barush frantically nodded his dog-like head, eager to agree with anything Li Xiaofei said.
Li Xiaofei walked over and threw an arm around Bajie’s shoulders. “The brother of a brother is a brother. Now, introduce me to this esteemed, majestic, and utterly extraordinary Brother Golden here,” he said, motioning toward the Golden Lizard.
Bajie stared blankly. For a moment, he was utterly speechless. Bajie couldn’t help but feel a tinge of self-awareness.
Why do I see a reflection of my own shamelessness in Li Xiaofei? Is this what they mean by 'near vermilion, you become red'?
