"You've got such a small nerve but still dared to provoke her," Sun Wukong said helplessly as he slung her over his shoulder. "Hurry out of here!"
"Okay, okay, Great Sage..." Yang Xue felt Sun Wukong dash out of the cave in an instant. She let out a sigh of relief. "Great Sage, my original form is a skeleton. Aren't you scared?"
She suddenly remembered that she was now the White Bone Demon. Although she had only seen her original form once, she thought that if she accidentally showed it during the wedding night in the future, it would be so embarrassing...
What if she scared the Great Sage away and became a deserted woman?
"Great Sage, please don't abandon me. I don't want to be a deserted woman!" She clung tightly to Sun Wukong's neck, her imagination running wild.
"Don't worry. I'm not scared no matter what your form is. Besides, I can't see your real body now." They soon reached outside the cave. Sun Wukong patted her on the back and put her on the ground. "I'll deal with her. You go and save Master!"
"Eldest Brother!" Just then, Zhu Bajie carried Tang Seng out of the cave. Seeing the huge scorpion in front of him, he let out a scream at once. "Such a big Scorpion Demon! This thing even wanted to sleep with Master!"
Being disliked again, the Scorpion Demon turned and rushed towards Zhu Bajie. "Put down Tang Seng!"
Tang Seng had been lying limply on Zhu Bajie's back. The incense had made him weak all over.
Suddenly seeing the scorpion taller than a human and recalling that the demon had almost succeeded just now!
And now, in her original form, she was shouting to keep him. Tang Seng fainted directly from fear!
...
Half an hour passed. Everyone was sitting around on the lawn, looking at the bowl - sized scorpion lying on the rock in front of them. They swallowed nervously.
"Miss Bai, if we'd known you had such skills, we wouldn't have fought with her for so long." Zhu Bajie was so exhausted that he collapsed on the ground. There was a swelling on his head from the sting, looking rather comical.
"It was just a coincidence. I didn't know I could whip her and make her lose hundreds of years of cultivation." Yang Xue, who had been so scared that her legs were weak, forced a smile. How could she forget that she had a great magical treasure on her!
Recalling the danger just now, Yang Xue still couldn't stop sweating.
When she was knocked down to the ground by a sweeping kick and Sun Wukong couldn't save her, the Heavenly Book suddenly appeared above her head. After a dazzling light, the Scorpion Demon was sent flying!
She only heard Sun Wukong roar at her, "Give her a whip!"
She quickly whipped out. The ordinary bone whip in her hand was plated with golden light. When it hit the Scorpion Demon, the demon let out a painful scream and then turned into the appearance in front of them.
"Thanks to Miss Bai." Sha Seng had also suffered a lot. There were several places on his legs oozing pus.
"It's just a coincidence. By the way, don't call me Miss Bai in the future. If you really can't call me sister - in - law, you can call me Miss Yang. My real name is Yang Xue." She really didn't want to be just a White Bone Demon in everyone's eyes. From now on, the name Bai Xue no longer belonged to her.
"..." Hearing Yang Xue's words, Sun Wukong's pupils suddenly dilated. Sister - in - law?
But soon, he regained his composure and turned to look intently at the girl in front of him.
Unconsciously, she had become more powerful than him. Moreover, with the Kunlun Mirror and the Heavenly Book, it meant that there were few people in the Three Realms who could subdue her.
Looking at her progress, Sun Wukong was really happy for her, but at the same time, a sense of loss and crisis welled up in him.
The woman he loved had become stronger. How could he protect her then?
Although he had never stopped cultivating, there was always someone stronger. Moreover, his woman was a powerful figure from beyond the sky.
"Let's go. Since we've rescued Master, let's send him to the royal palace." Sun Wukong got up and reached out his hand to pull Yang Xue.
"Wait for me!" Yang Xue used his strength to jump up from the ground and then ran towards the Pipa Cave.
"What are you going to do?" Sun Wukong was puzzled, but soon guessed what and stammered, "You're not going to..."
"The Scorpion Demon has good things. I have to go and ransack them!" She had taken a fancy to the demon's clothes. There must be many unworn ones in that wardrobe. She had to collect them. Even if she didn't use them, she could sell them to those in need and make a lot of money.
At the moment, she thought the queen needed one to drive away the shadow left by the Scorpion Demon on Tang Seng.
"Yang Xue, you..." Sun Wukong still wanted to stop her, but that figure had already disappeared into the cave!
Zhu Bajie was confused. Looking at the dying scorpion on the rock, he asked, "Brother Monkey, what should we do with this demon?"
"Now that she's been beaten back to her original form and is seriously injured, with only one or two hundred years of cultivation left, she's no different from an ordinary scorpion." Sha Seng walked up to the rock and put forward a suggestion. "What if she cultivates back in the future and comes to take revenge on us?"
"You're right. Maybe we should just kill her to prevent her from causing more harm." Zhu Bajie covered his head and mumbled, "She stung this handsome general on the head. A gentleman never forgets to avenge an insult!"
Sun Wukong frowned. He knew that since Yang Xue hadn't killed the demon directly, she must have wanted to spare her life.
Just as he was struggling, suddenly a voice came from the sky, "Great Sage, Great Sage~"
"Star Official of the Rooster?" Sun Wukong recognized the person. "Why are you here?"
"I pay my respects to the Great Sage!" He bowed to Sun Wukong and said, "This Scorpion Demon has done a lot of evil. Since you've already captured her, you might as well hand her over to me and let me take her back."
"Okay!" Sun Wukong was just worried about how to deal with her. He waved his hand. "Take her away."
He didn't want to inquire why the official only showed up after they had captured the demon. Looking at the sorry state of his two junior brothers, he asked, "My two junior brothers are seriously injured. Do you have any medicine for injuries?"
"Wait a moment." Although the Star Official of the Rooster was very puzzled, because only he could suppress the Scorpion Demon.
Since he got the news that Tang Seng had been captured by the Scorpion Demon, he had been waiting in the Heavenly Court for Sun Wukong to come and ask him to step in. Who would have thought that after waiting for so long, he would finally get the news that the Scorpion Demon had been subdued.
He took out the medicine and handed it to Sun Wukong. Casually, he asked, "This Scorpion Demon is highly cultivated. Even the nearby immortals are afraid of her. May I ask how the Great Sage subdued her?"
"This is naturally..." Zhu Bajie wanted to answer first, but was stopped by Sun Wukong.
"Of course it's all thanks to this Great Sage. She became like this after just a few blows from my staff." Sun Wukong smiled faintly and tossed his hair back. His jet - black hair was tied up with a silver hair crown. The dark red brocade robe made his face look like a jade carving. He was handsome and elegant, completely different from the former Sun Wukong.
The Star Official of the Rooster murmured to himself. After Sun Wukong got a woman, he had changed so amazingly. Looking at him carefully now, he was almost as good - looking as Tang Seng. It was really strange.
As the saying goes, a woman dresses up for the one who appreciates her beauty. Who would have thought that a monkey would also show off like a peacock because of a woman.
With such a sigh, the Star Official of the Rooster took the Scorpion Demon back to the Heavenly Court. He was wondering why Sun Wukong had spared the Scorpion Demon.
It had actually left him a difficult problem. Originally, he had planned to get rid of the Scorpion Demon by Sun Wukong's hand.
"Great Sage, do you think I look good in this?" Just then, Yang Xue came out of the Pipa Cave.
