"Sister!" When Xiaorou saw Yang Xue, she plopped down on her knees and burst into tears.
This sudden move startled Yang Xue. She quickly reached out to help her up. "What's going on? Get up and talk. Have you been bullied? I'll go and settle scores with Xuanyou!"
"No, she's crying for you." Maomao's eyes were full of melancholy, brimming with sorrow and sympathy. "The Leopard King has been kind to us. He recognized us and told us your story."
"Ah?" What story of hers? Could it be that Xuanyou had discovered something?
"Sister, you've suffered so much!" Xiaorou hugged Yang Xue's leg and cried loudly. "Who would have thought there was such a story between you and Xuanyou!"
"..." Yang Xue felt helpless. She didn't expect these two to be so naive. They had actually been tricked by Xuanyou.
After sitting down and asking in detail, Yang Xue found out that Xuanyou had planned everything in advance and had completely won the trust of Xiaorou and Maomao.
Xuanyou had lied to them that when she was still a mortal, he had been deeply impressed by her face and had once saved her from dire straits.
Therefore, Xuanyou hoped that they would take good care of her.
Yang Xue had some scattered memories of the White - Bone Demon, but why didn't she have this memory that Xuanyou had mentioned?
Forget it. It wasn't important.
"Let's get to the point. What has Xuanyou been up to recently?" Yang Xue always felt that the black leopard was very suspicious. "What are the demons who went with you doing now?"
Seeing that she didn't intend to catch up on old times, Xiaorou and Maomao told her everything they had seen and done during this period.
It turned out that Xuanyou had selected more than a dozen demons with outstanding abilities to stay, and the others had been sent away, told to go wherever they wanted.
And those who had been waiting in the Kingdom of Women to eat the flesh of Tang Seng had also disappeared without a trace overnight, as if they had been recalled by someone.
After hearing that Sun Wukong and Yang Xue had subdued the Scorpion Demon, Xuanyou had even gone to the Pipa Cave to check.
Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, Sun Wukong pushed the door open and came in from outside.
"Creak~"
Yang Xue looked up and met Sun Wukong's eyes. She noticed a fleeting look of uneasiness in his eyes and couldn't help but curl her lips. She thought this boyfriend was so lovable that she felt embarrassed to tease him.
"Come out!" Sun Wukong said with a straight face, then turned around and waited outside.
Yang Xue got up and said to Xiaorou, "You two rest here. If you're not in a hurry to go back..."
"Sister, I'm going back to the Great Green Mountain with Xiaorou," Maomao suddenly said, staring at his toes. "You're doing well with the Great Sage now, and we're relieved. Xiaorou and I will be more at ease in the Great Green Mountain. There are still some old acquaintances there."
Yang Xue turned to look at Xiaorou, and she was pouting and crying again.
She reached out and stroked Xiaorou's fluffy head. "Don't cry. There's nothing to cry about. It's really not good for you to stay by my side. I'm very glad to see you and Maomao together now."
Maomao looked up at Yang Xue's profile, clenched his palm tightly, wanting to say something but finally remaining silent.
He loosened his palm and said with a smile, "Please rest assured, sister. Because we went through life - and - death situations together during that period, Xiaorou is now pregnant with a baby. We..."
"Ah?" Yang Xue was very surprised. "Really? Then I have to congratulate you." She suddenly felt a bit heart - ache. Hearing the words "life - and - death situations", she didn't even dare to ask what had happened during that period.
The God of Wealth had said that after he had settled Xiaorou and Maomao down, he came back and found them gone. Presumably, they had gone to find their companions...
It seemed that they must have encountered something.
"Thank you, sister." Maomao lowered his head to thank her. "I also hope that you and the Great Sage can grow old together."
"Yeah, I will." Yang Xue forced back the tears in her eyes. She took out a big bag of gold from her Qiankun Bag and put it in Xiaorou's palm. "This is for the baby. Keep it well."
"Sister..." Xiaorou burst into tears again. She threw herself into Yang Xue's arms and sobbed, "Take care, sister."
Such a farewell made her extremely sad.
"Let's go. We'll come back to see sister later," Maomao pulled Xiaorou up from Yang Xue's arms and comforted her gently. "We'll have to ask sister to name the baby when it's born."
"Maomao, if there's anything, you must tell me in time. Although I'm not as powerful as the Great Sage now, I'm definitely capable of getting justice for you if you're bullied, even if the person is Xuanyou. Do you understand?" Yang Xue didn't know what Maomao was thinking, but she could feel that he seemed to be distancing himself from her.
"Yeah, I will." He nodded seriously and gave her a bright smile.
After seeing Xiaorou and Maomao off, Yang Xue walked out of the room and found the Great Sage pacing back and forth on the wooden corridor, making a "clunk, clunk, clunk" sound.
Thinking of the way he had fled in a hurry last night, Yang Xue couldn't help but snicker.
"What are you laughing at?" He suddenly turned around. Seeing her trying to hold back her laughter, he felt inexplicably annoyed. He stuck out his neck, folded his arms across his chest, looking haughty.
"Nothing. I just think the Great Sage looks really good in his new clothes." Yang Xue walked over and hooked her arm through his. "The Great Sage is getting more and more handsome every day, more and more like a heroic and dashing figure!"
"Stop it!" He turned his face away. "I have something serious to talk to you about."
"Okay, go ahead." She looked up at him, her eyes full of admiration and tenderness.
"Don't look at me like that," he shook off her arm. "Men and women should keep a proper distance. You'd better stay away from me."
"Cough, cough..." She didn't dare to mention the embarrassing thing from last night. After all, she hadn't been ready either. "What's the serious matter the Great Sage wants to talk about?"
"Don't you know where the Six - Eared Macaque is? Take me to find him."
"The Six - Eared Macaque?" Qingxuan, who had been jumping around on the beams and playing alone, suddenly popped his head out from under the eaves. "Are you going to find him? I'll take you there!"
"You know where he is?" Sun Wukong looked at the little golden head with a skeptical look.
"I do know, but he's been imprisoned. It's really pitiful. Are you going to rescue him?" Qingxuan was full of excitement. "He looks extremely similar to the Great Sage. I wonder if the master can tell them apart."
"Stop talking nonsense. Hurry up and lead the way!" Looking at his big, rolling eyes, Sun Wukong felt annoyed!
Now even a magical object dared to make fun of him.
Qingxuan must have known that they had had an unpleasant encounter last night.
"Don't be discouraged, Great Sage. Practice makes perfect. You'll surely get what you want next time. If you don't know how, I can show you how human couples... "
"Shut up!" Sun Wukong grabbed Qingxuan in his hand. "If you say one more word, I'll give you to the Jade Emperor!"
"..." Qingxuan's struggling body suddenly stopped moving. A flash of golden light later, he returned to Yang Xue's shoulder and glared at Sun Wukong angrily.
"..." She was thinking that Qingxuan was really bold. He dared to openly tease Sun Wukong about not knowing how!
She didn't even dare to say that the Great Sage didn't know how!
However...
Yang Xue carefully observed Sun Wukong's expression. Could it be that he really didn't know how?
"What are you looking at?" Sun Wukong suddenly met Yang Xue's mischievous eyes as they wandered around his most important part. In an instant, he was like a ruffled rooster. "Do you also want to say that I don't know how?"
"No, no, no... How could that be? You're the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Is there anything you don't know?" Yang Xue quickly changed the subject. "I just think the Great Sage looks really good in today's clothes. The light - blue clothes make the Great Sage look as charming as the winter bamboo..."
"So you've taken a fancy to the winter bamboo?" Sun Wukong's eyes turned cold. "It seems you still like the fox demon."
"No, no, no. The Great Sage has wronged me. I just think he looks okay!"
"He looks better than me." He took a step closer, walked up to Yang Xue, picked her up in one go and slung her over his shoulder. "Since that's the case, I'll just nip this bad thought of yours in the bud first!"
