Sun Wukong got anxious. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms. "Don't go, don't go. It was my fault for suspecting you. When I saw you take out that notebook and ask him for an autograph, I was extremely annoyed at that moment..."
Looking at his flustered and self - reproachful expression, at this moment, Yang Xue had actually forgiven him.
But she still felt quite aggrieved. Did his repeated interrogations mean that he wanted to deny their current situation?
"Yo, hugging and cuddling here. Do you really think I'm blind!" Xuan You's annoying voice came from behind.
Sun Wukong's eyes immediately turned red. He summoned his Golden - Hooped Rod and charged towards Xuan You. "You dare to show up again!"
Caught off guard, Xuan You took off and flew backwards. "What are you doing? Didn't you win? Why are you attacking me! If it weren't for me mediating, you would have already..."
"You've got a lot of nerve to steal a kiss from my girl. You're tired of living!" Sun Wukong exerted all his strength and hit Xuan You to the ground with a single strike of his rod. Then, with lightning speed, he delivered another blow, embedding Xuan You completely into the soil!
"Cough, cough, cough!" Xuan You was unable to fight back. After all, he couldn't withstand a single full - force move from Sun Wukong, who was once invincible during the havoc in Heaven!
He had a killing intent!
Yang Xue flashed in front of Sun Wukong. Seeing that he was about to strike again, she quickly stopped him. "Great Sage, if you hit him any more, he'll die. I'll teach him a lesson myself!"
"If I don't beat him to the ground, how will he learn his lesson!" Sun Wukong's eyes were blood - red. He wasn't joking!
"Great Sage, leave it to me." Saying so, Yang Xue leaned close to Sun Wukong's ear. "Although I'm a weak woman, I'll avenge myself if someone makes me unhappy. If I can't beat him, I'll ask you to solve it, okay?"
"..." His ear felt hot. The breath from her mouth tickled his ear, and he couldn't help but take a step back.
"I've really opened my eyes. Sun Wukong can actually blush and be shy? It seems you two haven't..." Although he was lying in the pit, Xuan You still didn't forget to tease and mock, even whistling at Sun Wukong.
"You're asking for death!" Sun Wukong raised his fist and punched Xuan You in the face one after another. "It's none of your business!"
Yang Xue was helpless. Watching Xuan You sink deeper and deeper into the soil, she took out a handful of sunflower seeds from her bag and started cracking them.
It wasn't until Sun Wukong had had enough of beating that he dug Xuan You out of the soil and then returned to Xuan You's cave to discuss important matters.
Yang Xue was a bit confused. Could the conflict between men be resolved just by having a fight?
However, after Sun Wukong pulled Xuan You out of the soil, the two really went to Xuan You's cave calmly.
It turned out that the chaos in the demon world was not just a rumor. The demons had really reached the vicinity of the Kingdom of Daughters. Their goal was to disrupt the Buddhist scripture - fetching plan and capture Tang Sanzang to divide and eat his flesh!
Now that Sun Wukong had returned victorious, they were still waiting for his orders.
"This Great Sage doesn't fancy that position. Moreover, they're after Tang Sanzang's flesh. After all, he was once my master. As for the unfair treatment they've encountered, it has nothing to do with me. This Great Sage doesn't care. If it were really a good thing, would you, the black leopard, give it to me?" Sun Wukong flatly refused him. "No matter what your plan is, this Great Sage has no intention of accompanying you."
After saying that, Sun Wukong took Yang Xue's hand and walked out.
"Wait!" Xuan You didn't give up. Looking at Yang Xue, he said loudly, "Are you really going to let those people go like this, Great Sage? If it weren't for Yang Xue unlocking your golden hoop, you would have been a prisoner by now. They bully the weak and fear the strong. You managed to get out of this safely this time, but what about next time?"
"Don't try to persuade me. This Great Sage knows what to do." Sun Wukong didn't want to waste any more words with him. "Even if I don't intend to let it go, it has nothing to do with being the demon king."
"What about her? Are you sure you can protect her?"
Yang Xue could tell that Xuan You was desperately trying to use Sun Wukong's strength to lead the demon world.
What on earth did he want to do?
"Farewell." Xuan You's attitude made Sun Wukong even more vigilant. Maybe there were things he didn't know about that were about to happen.
Yang Xue's hand was held, and the two left the Great Green Mountain.
The God of Wealth was watching over the small hill for them, and Yue Bai returned to the yard later.
Yang Xue didn't plan to ask if she was on the same side as Xuan You. She just wanted to follow the Great Sage from then on.
"Congratulations, Great Sage, for causing another havoc in Heaven." The God of Wealth's gaze quickly swept over their clasped hands.
"I want to ask the God of Wealth, when the Heavenly Court directly came to me this time, what role did you play exactly?" Looking at his restrained gaze, Sun Wukong really found it hard to believe that he had no ulterior motives. Maybe the Jade Emperor's impulsiveness was partly due to the God of Wealth.
"Since the Great Sage doesn't trust me, why bother asking." Saying so, he crushed the teacup in his hand, got up, and walked to the door. "Yang Xue, are you really going to follow him?"
"Yes, I've made up my mind." Yang Xue watched as his fist gradually tightened. She felt a bit sad. "Thank you. If it weren't for you, I might not have made it this far safely. I trust you. If the God of Wealth needs anything in the future, I will surely do my best!"
He looked up at the setting sun, clutching the red string in his hand tightly, and opened his mouth with difficulty.
After a long while, he regained his composure and gently reminded her, "Although the Jade Emperor is currently letting you two be free, now that you're with Sun Wukong, once they get the chance, they will surely try to get rid of you."
"Don't bother the God of Wealth. This Great Sage will surely protect her well."
Yang Xue bit her lips. She knew the God of Wealth's feelings.
But she couldn't say much. Excessive entanglement and explanation would only make the God of Wealth feel more uncomfortable.
She was very grateful to this kind and gentle boy who had suddenly appeared. She hoped that he would meet a better girl in the future.
Yue Bai bid them farewell. She was going to take Xiaoshan to the Green Hill. Yang Xue sent her to the carriage without asking too many questions.
"Miss Yang, are you really going to follow Sun Wukong from now on? I advise you to protect yourself. Now both of you are thorns in the Heavenly Court's side. If you get together, it will only be more dangerous..." Yue Bai grabbed her hand and wanted to say more.
"Don't worry. This is my choice, and I won't change it." Yang Xue patted her hand. "Take good care of Xiaoshan. From now on, she's your child. Take care."
"Okay." She smiled faintly and couldn't help but sigh. "Qingqing must be very sad. The man she loves the most is sad because of you, and now she doesn't even know where she's gone."
"I know. She's returned to the Green Hill." She had confirmed this through the Heavenly Book. But Qingqing's condition was not optimistic. It seemed that she had suffered serious injuries.
"That's good." Yue Bai knew that she was not an ordinary person. "If one day the Great Sage has to go to the Western Heaven to fetch the scriptures, you can come to the Green Hill to find me."
Yang Xue gave a bright smile. "Okay."
Yue Bai was worried that one day in the future, Yang Xue would also experience betrayal or difficult choices like she did, so she sincerely invited her.
All good things must come to an end. After seeing off Yue Bai and Xiaoshan, Yang Xue planned to rest for a night and then follow Sun Wukong to the Flower - Fruit Mountain. But unexpectedly, something happened in the Kingdom of Daughters.
To be precise, something happened to Tang Sanzang.
The demon world was well - informed. They already knew that Sun Wukong had caused another havoc in Heaven and returned safely, but had stopped fetching the scriptures.
They encountered Tang Sanzang who had just entered the city and directly captured him.
They heard the news from the small demons chatting in the city. Sun Wukong, who was having a meal, immediately rushed into the sky and prepared to rescue Tang Sanzang.
"Great Sage, it seems that your master is still more important in your heart. You left me without saying a word." After catching up with him, Yang Xue sighed meaningfully.
"I..."
"Do you know where he is?" Yang Xue smiled slightly, her eyes calm. She patted his back with a bit of pity. "Great Sage, even if you fight your way to the Heavenly Court, you still can't escape their schemes."
