But soon after leading Sun Wukong into the cave, the White Bone Demon regretted her decision.
How could she have forgotten that she was a White Bone Demon now!
How could a demon eat ordinary meals? How could there be a kitchen? And how could there be raw materials for cooking!
Moreover, the White Bone Demon had never been to the kitchen. It was always the little demons below who took care of her food and clothing.
Looking at the messy stone cave, the White Bone Demon wished she could bite off her own tongue.
Sun Wukong folded his arms across his chest and sneered sinisterly, "What? Do you want to deceive this Great Sage?"
"No, no, no. It's all so sudden. We haven't cooked for a long time, so we're not well - prepared." Yang Xue forced a dry laugh, thinking that this way she could make Sun Wukong believe that she had no interest in Tang Seng.
"Well, Great Sage, if you trust me, please wait outside. I'll ask the little demons to make you some tea first. I guarantee I'll cook a table of dishes your master will like. After all, I used to be a cook and I'm quite good at it." Yang Xue was very confident in her cooking skills. She even had a cook's certificate.
"I bet you wouldn't dare to deceive this Great Sage. If you want to eat Tang Seng's flesh, you have to get past me first." Sun Wukong thought this female demon didn't have much power. He could kill her with just a few strikes of his cudgel, so he didn't want to stay in this messy "kitchen".
"By the way, don't even think about my master. He's on his way to the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures and won't stay here as your husband." Sun Wukong turned around and added seriously.
He had met many female demons before who insisted on keeping his master. He didn't know what was so good about that bald monk.
"Great Sage, you've misunderstood me. I don't like eating human flesh," Yang Xue stared at Sun Wukong and gave a shy smile. "Moreover, I don't like bald monks. I can recite all your heroic deeds backwards. Now that I've seen you in person, I admire your charm even more."
"What?" Sun Wukong's eyelids twitched and he blushed a little. It was the first time he had met a female demon who showed her feelings for him!
"I know I'm not worthy of the Great Sage, but I'll be content if I can cook a vegetarian meal for the Great Sage with all my heart." She really thought Sun Wukong was much handsomer than the legends.
Right, he had such a high level of cultivation. He must have already taken on a human form.
When walking in the mortal world, to avoid unnecessary trouble, they would prefer to appear in human form.
"You... stop it. This Great Sage doesn't like women, let alone female demons." Sun Wukong looked a bit uncomfortable. "Don't try any tricks."
Yang Xue's eyes lit up. Suddenly, she thought of a good way to avoid suspicion.
"Does the Great Sage like monkeys?" Yang Xue said with a look of regret on her face. "After I cultivate for a few more hundred years, I'll surely transform into a good - looking monkey..."
"Shut up!" Sun Wukong interrupted her. "This Great Sage doesn't like female monkeys either."
"Stop dithering and cook quickly." He walked out with a dark face. "I'll go and call my master and the others to come and eat. Don't talk nonsense later, or you'll be in trouble with my golden cudgel."
Yang Xue watched his hasty steps and couldn't help covering her mouth and giggling.
So the Sun Wukong who could travel through heaven and earth was actually afraid of being flirted with!
Hahaha, this trip was really rewarding.
Hey, she suddenly knew how to deal with Sun Wukong to save her own life.
She got some rice from the Squirrel Demon who liked to hoard food in the granary, asked the Rabbit Demon to find some vegetables, and ordered two Tiger Demons to go to the mountain to find some wild fruits.
Fortunately, there were pots and tools in the kitchen. After all, they would occasionally celebrate festivals and use them for drinking and eating meat.
The Cat Demon had dexterous hands, so she asked him to help with the fire. Before long, Yang Xue had cooked a table of vegetarian dishes.
Stir - fried wild vegetables and carrots, mushrooms stir - fried with wild ginseng, fungus stir - fried with Chinese cabbage, potatoes stewed with ginseng, and wild vegetables stir - fried with bird eggs.
Thanks to the Rabbit Demon. She often went down the mountain to steal seeds and planted carrots and Chinese cabbage. Not long ago, she had dug some potatoes from a farmer's field.
"Madam, you're really amazing." The little demons looked at the dishes on the table and felt that their madam seemed to be reborn.
You know, their White Madam hadn't eaten such things for hundreds of years.
"It's a pity there's no meat." The Tiger Demon voiced what they were all thinking.
The Rabbit Demon snorted. "You still want Madam to cook meat for you? Dream on!"
Yang Xue was busy cutting fruits to make a fruit platter when she saw Sun Wukong strolling in from outside.
...
Yang Xue thought that probably no one in the world would ever think that the scene in front of her was real.
Tang Seng and his three disciples were sitting around the table with the White Bone Demon. There were five dishes and a soup on the table, and there was also some fruit for dessert in the middle. Everyone was eating with gusto.
"Miss White's cooking is really delicious. If only we could have such delicious food every day." Zhu Bajie gobbled his food and still managed to praise.
Yang Xue sized up the slightly chubby man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She thought this was the Marshal Tianpeng in her mind. Apart from his bad eating manners, he was actually quite handsome.
"Dream on. Do you want our master to take a female demon with us on the journey to fetch the scriptures?" Sun Wukong picked up some food for Tang Seng. "Master, eat more."
"Wukong, how did you find this... benefactor?" Tang Seng was quite surprised by today's encounter.
All the demons they met on the way were after him.
Whether they wanted to eat his flesh or make him stay, both male and female demons had him as their target.
But this female demon in front of him was unusual, both in appearance and behavior. He would even believe she was a fairy.
With her fresh and refined dressing and the fact that she cooked for them herself, the world was really full of wonders.
Those clear and affectionate big eyes always followed his senior disciple Sun Wukong.
From the moment they entered the cave until now, her gaze rarely stayed on him.
This was not right. It was very wrong.
"Master, do you have no appetite? Or do you think there's something wrong with the food?" Sun Wukong sat upright. Suddenly, his gaze shifted to Yang Xue.
Yang Xue had been secretly admiring Sun Wukong's handsome face. When she suddenly met his unhappy look, she quickly gave a sweet smile. "Great Sage, please investigate. How could I seek my own death?"
"Yes, master. Miss White is beautiful and kind - hearted. How could she poison the food? She said she wanted to treat us after hearing about our deeds and learn some cultivation methods from elder brother." Zhu Bajie said as he served himself a bowl of rice. "Well... If you don't eat, this marshal will finish it all."
"Second elder brother is right. Elder brother, don't let Miss White's good intentions go to waste." Sha Seng spoke slowly, but his eating speed was not slow at all. He got up with his bowl. "Second elder brother, save some for me."
Yang Xue gave a sweet smile. "Great Sage, could you please give me your autograph?" She took out the paper she had prepared long ago. Her big eyes were almost squinted into a thin line. "It's a great blessing for me to see the Great Sage's appearance in person. If I could get the Great Sage's handwriting, I'll have no regrets in this life."
It would be great if she could take a photo and hang it in her room as a protector.
All four of the master and disciples showed surprised expressions. Sun Wukong was surprised and asked what an autograph was.
"What?" Zhu Bajie was greatly shocked. "What do you see in the monkey? My master is the dream lover of female demons... Since elder brother Monkey is good, take a look at me. How do you think I am?"
Yang Xue ignored Zhu Bajie. She got up and walked in front of Sun Wukong, holding out the pen and paper. Shyly, she said, "Just write your name on it."
Then, she turned around and seriously corrected, "The Great Sage is extremely handsome. In my mind, he is the great hero Sun Wukong."
Tang Seng carefully sized up Miss White. His gaze swept over the tall and powerful Sun Wukong. He held his chopsticks and seemed to be deep in thought.
"Don't listen to her nonsense. Eat your food!" Sun Wukong said in a deep voice without raising his head. His eyelids kept twitching and his chopsticks were shaking.
