Sun Wukong fled all the way.
"Hou, Hou, we are here!" A voice came from afar.
Sun Wukong looked and saw it was the master's group, quickly rushing over, "Master, how did you all get trapped by that old Daoist too?"
Tang Monk was initially angry but soon sighed, self-reproachingly saying, "Ah, you incorrigible monkey, why did you still curse the temple owner? You smashed their fruit tree and ran off without permission, it means my teaching was too lax... I'm truly ashamed to face anyone..."
The Wuzhuang Temple incident, indeed, was one of the most embarrassing episodes for Tang Monk in the Journey to the West.
Sun Wukong smashed the Ginseng Fruit Tree and secretly pretended with Tang Monk that nothing happened, continuing on their journey quietly, leaving Tang Monk self-recriminated for lax discipline, indeed it was shameful.
"Master, why did you come in with me, you have been tricked by that old Daoist... Although this world is strange, it can't stump Old Sun, I've already memorized the coordinates and location, a little more exploration, and we can go back..." Sun Wukong was dissatisfied.
"Alas!"
Tang Monk sighed, wallowing in self-pity.
"Master, Master, what should we do now?" Zhu Bajie was a bit panicked, "This place seems very peculiar, it's the Chaos Outer Realm, many Dao Skills can't be used.... and there are people hunting us."
Zhu Bajie looked as if he wanted to break up, "It's all Hou's fault, there are pursuers everywhere, probably wanting to capture Master and eat him."
"You silly pig! Didn't you take part in stealing the Ginseng Fruit?" Sun Wukong grabbed Zhu Bajie's big ear.
"Anyway, I'm not the one who smashed the Ginseng Fruit Tree." Zhu Bajie replied bashfully.
Sun Wukong looked around and said loudly, "Master, don't be afraid, this place is the End of the Dharma Cosmos, restricted in many ways, they can only use True Skill. We can't beat these natives who specialize in True Skills... but if we hide for a while, find the location, we can go back."
...
The Queen of Xiliang, disguised as a young woman, observed in the shadows.
"Is this Sun Wukong and his group?"
She peeked at the situation in front of her.
Sun Wukong and the others, although restricted in power, could surely erupt with rule-based strength temporarily, so escaping would not be an issue.
"Hmm, just as the senior said, there's internal discord among them."
The Queen of Xiliang was calm, an insidious smile appearing at her lips, "Heh, heh, heh, but greater internal conflict is coming... shouldn't this audacious monkey be subdued?"
However, she felt somewhat rigid inside.
As a queen, dignified and virtuous, she wasn't skilled in combat, usually sending her female soldiers to war. Now she had to do such a strange thing herself?
"To expand Xiliang, a step must be taken." The Queen of Xiliang took a deep breath and said, "I am the Lady Bai Gu now... must brace myself, hoping the senior isn't deceiving a minor character like me... can discord be instigated so easily?"
...
At this moment.
Tang Monk and his group had already started secretly running away.
They hid their tracks, evaded pursuers, crossed over the upper boundary and wandered into a city.
They discovered that most of this country's population were beautiful women.
While walking, they suddenly saw a beautiful young woman in an inn distributing porridge, she looked like a beautiful fairy.
"Master, there's someone helping the poor, let me beg for some alms for you." Zhu Bajie quickly said.
Zhu Bajie went over to chat, the young woman was startled and said, "You're looking for food, right? I have some here. Our country is kind-hearted and hospitable, dear guests... please wait."
"Also, you are those people fighting in the heavens, aren't you?" the young girl said.
Sha Wujing immediately became alert, "Who are you, how do you know?"
"Our place is mostly women, the men are at the frontline and deceased...." The young woman said, covering her face in tears, "There are familiar faces, few newcomers, so we naturally guessed... don't worry, those in the heavens are also our enemies, we won't tattle, we'll even cover for you."
Seeing such a kind beauty, Zhu Bajie blushed and loudly declared, "Master, Master! We've encountered good people, let's hide here for a while..."
Sun Wukong watched from afar, always feeling that the village girl was a bit off.
Very soon, the young woman brought vegetarian dishes, kindly offering them to everyone.
"Master, don't eat this food!"
Sun Wukong quickly opened his Fire-Eyed Golden Gaze, suddenly sensed something, and at once threw the food down, "This woman has ill intentions, there's a strange vibe, she must be a demon! I can also smell that old Daoist on her!"
Sun Wukong came to this bizarre place, was beaten, and was already furious, and now this demon was getting close to Master, how could he allow that?
Bang!!!
Sun Wukong directly smashed down with his staff, the young girl instantly turned into a pile of flesh.
"Wukong!!" Tang Monk cried out in anger and sorrow, "How could you again...."
He left his sentence unfinished, directly reciting the Tightening Spell.
Ah!
Sun Wukong screamed endlessly, rolling frantically, clutching his head in agony, "Master, Master, stop reciting...."
But Tang Sanzang did not cease, continuing to recite.
...
The Queen of Xiliang calmly watched all this from the shadows, greatly astonished, "As expected, just as the senior said, how reckless is this monkey?"
After all, Sun Wukong was like a one-staff superman, akin to the scenario in the Journey to the West's Three Battles with the White Bone Spirit, going all in with a hit, truly the rage of a monstrous origin.
Expending human life with such disregard is normal for him.
In the monsters' world, it's the law of the jungle among animals, what kindness is there to speak of.
Bear in mind, Sun Wukong was one of the Seven Great Saints, alongside sworn brothers, founded a Demon Stronghold, dared to confront the Celestial Court's Great Demons, calling each other brothers, eating several people daily was utterly routine, so why worry about killing a small demon?
However, Tang Monk couldn't stand this.
"Interesting, the senior's prediction was so accurate, it's so simple..." The Queen of Xiliang's lips curled with a sensuous smile, "Looks like we can indeed avenge the senior..."
"The plan to extract the bloodline from this group of people has a high chance of succeeding."
She observed in secret, "That fellow, having struck the senior's Ginseng Fruit Tree, if I steal his bloodline, I could bear a monkey child for the senior, and then defeat him."
Soon.
The second encounter happened.
Tang Monk and the group continued onward, an old man approached.
"Have you seen our princess? She was distributing porridge near here recently, she's our country's only hope, if she vanishes, with no one to ally through marriage, other nations will definitely invade us... Our country is mostly soft women, the men perished at the frontline, how can we..."
"Ah, Hou, Hou actually killed the princess destined to marry and save that country! Surely, their nation will fall into ruin..." Zhu Bajie's eyes darted, shouting exaggeratedly like a boisterous comic relief, who knows what was running through his mind.
