Yang Xue was at a loss, feeling that she couldn't clear her name even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
Yang Jian stared straight ahead at the Jade Emperor above and gently reminded, "If you don't want to expose her, it's better to go back first and then lose your temper, Great Sage."
"You..." Sun Wukong was extremely annoyed, but more heart - broken. He always felt that he had been deceived. Maybe she didn't like him as much as he thought.
"Great Sage, I just wanted an autograph. I had no other intentions. Didn't I tell you that the girls in my place are like this... It's just for a souvenir..." The more she explained, the more chaotic it became, and Yang Xue's voice grew softer.
Sun Wukong's face was ashen, his expression so gloomy that it seemed water could drip from it. But he still quietly listened to her.
"Great Sage," Yang Xue stepped forward and grabbed his hand, coquettishly whining, "Let's go back first, okay? Don't be angry. I'll explain it to you properly when we get back, all right?"
Feeling her tone as if she were coaxing a child, Sun Wukong was a bit helpless. Looking up at Yang Jian's smiling face, he got angry for no reason. "What are you looking at? Get out of here quickly!"
"Great Sage is so imposing today. Making another ruckus in the Hall of Miraculous Mist is another legendary story. Why are you so petty and sulking with a girl?" Yang Jian mocked without reservation. "I can leave, but a real man should have a broad mind. If you make things difficult for her, won't I become a sinner?"
"Yang Jian, are you itching for a beating? Do you want to have a real fight with me? Have you forgotten the taste of my Ruyi Jingu Bang after all these years?" As he said this, he spread out his palm, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang buzzed slightly in excitement!
Seeing that Sun Wukong and Yang Jian were about to fight face - to - face, the Grand Astrologer stepped forward to stop and persuade them. The Jade Emperor also told Yang Jian not to cause trouble. Many immortals present pulled the two of them apart, thus preventing a great battle!
Ne Zha shook his head, showing disappointment. In fact, he quite wanted to see Sun Wukong and Yang Jian fight again. What a pity.
Yang Xue always followed behind Sun Wukong, trying to comfort him. "Great Sage, I was wrong. Will you help me get their autographs in the future..."
Suddenly, a killing look came flying, and Yang Xue wisely shut up.
"Great Sage, are you going to take me back to the Flower - Fruit Mountain?" Yang Xue looked at Tang Seng and the others not far away. "If you don't go on the pilgrimage, what about your master and junior brothers? The journey to the West is full of hardships. Without you, they surely won't be able to continue..."
"I've even fought in the Hall of Miraculous Mist. Do I still care about the pilgrimage? Let them rest where they are..."
"I know!" Thinking that they had now reached the territory of the Daughter Country, Yang Xue was extremely excited, her eyes shining with excitement. "Let them go to the Daughter Country. The queen will entertain them."
"That's none of my business..." Sun Wukong carried his Ruyi Jingu Bang and walked out of the main hall, keeping a distance from Tang Seng and the others as if he didn't see them.
The other immortals present also asked about the arrangements for the pilgrims. The Jade Emperor said angrily, "Do as you like!"
After the immortals dispersed, Ne Zha escorted them back to the mortal world, sending them back to where they were brought from.
Yang Xue was very looking forward to it. She wondered if Tang Seng would make a different choice when he met the queen of the Daughter Country.
After all, due to the change this time, they would surely stay there for a longer time, long enough to develop feelings...
Sun Wukong turned around and asked a few questions, but finding no response, he stopped and waited.
"Great Sage, let's also go to the Daughter Country. I still have a courtyard there. Moreover, Tang Seng didn't recite the spell, which shows that you have a deep bond as master and disciple. You can pretend to have a bad relationship in the main hall, but I guess that soon the Western Paradise will send someone to invite the Great Sage to continue the journey to the West..."
"I'm going to be the Demon King. Why would I go to the Daughter Country!" Sun Wukong snorted with a dark face. "No way! I'll go find that black leopard to settle the score first!"
"Then I'll go too!" Mentioning the black leopard, Yang Xue said angrily, "He even stole a kiss from me in front of the Heavenly Soldiers..."
"What?"
"..." Yang Xue obediently shut up and helplessly looked at her jealous great hero.
"Come on, let's go find him and settle the score!" As he said this, Sun Wukong stretched out his hand, looking impatient with his neck stuck out, but most of his anger had dissipated.
"Okay." Yang Xue placed her hand in his palm. "Great Sage is wise."
"..." He turned his face away, thinking to himself, Flatterer!
Thanks to Yang Xue this time, otherwise, how could he have left so confidently and unscathed!
Otherwise, he might have already been locked in the Heavenly Prison, waiting for punishment.
After leaving the Heavenly Court, Yang Xue removed her invisibility and held the Great Sage's hand, smiling obsequiously to please him.
Sun Wukong turned his face away. "I'm still angry. Don't smile like that!"
Yang Xue burst out laughing. Looking at such an arrogant and awkward Sun Wukong, she really couldn't help but tease him.
But she still had to explain. After all, he was an old - fashioned straight man with relatively feudal ideas. Just now, he must have thought that she was not reserved enough and her behavior was frivolous.
"Great Sage, I was wrong today. I'll pay attention in the future. Although I think they are all amazing, in my heart, the most amazing and powerful one will always be the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong..."
"Stop flattering. I'm not falling for this!" Sun Wukong shook off her hand, folded his arms in front of his chest, and proudly showed her his back.
"Great Sage, I was originally a mortal. I'm not used to my current situation and abilities yet. Acting like a country bumpkin really embarrassed you. I promise I'll change, okay?"
Looking at the approaching mountain, Sun Wukong stopped in mid - air, turned to look at her seriously, and asked, "When we first met, was what you said to me a deliberate lie?"
Yang Xue couldn't help but lower her head, looking like a daughter - in - law admitting her mistake. "At that time, there was a huge gap in strength between us. Moreover, I had just become a white - bone spirit. In a hurry, I might have exaggerated a bit, but my admiration for the Great Sage is real."
Hearing her admit it personally, Sun Wukong's face turned ugly. He knew it!
"Although it wasn't love at first sight, it's at least love that has developed over time. The Great Sage has helped me again and again and even concealed my identity and whereabouts..."
"That's just gratitude, not love." His voice was full of disappointment. He grabbed her arm and said seriously, "Look into my eyes, Great Sage. Did you kiss me on a whim back then?"
"..." Oh no, when the Great Sage got unreasonable, he was no different from a little girl!
"You hesitated!" Sun Wukong gritted his teeth in anger. "Have you kissed anyone else?"
Yang Xue suddenly felt a bit wronged. A layer of mist filled her eyes. She looked up and pleaded aggrievedly, "To be fair, a man as rich and gentle as the God of Wealth is really good for a girl. But I only have feelings for the Great Sage. But now you insist on..."
"Don't..." Facing her tears, Sun Wukong instantly became timid. He panicked and tried to wipe her eyes. "Don't cry. I... I was just asking..."
"Although I like good - looking men, it's just an appreciation of their appearance. It's not love, not the kind of love you're talking about. If the Great Sage doubts my sincerity, I'll leave now!" She pretended to shake off his arm and flew in the direction of the Daughter Country!
