Three days later, Yang Xue unilaterally announced that the pre - wedding trip was over!
Sun Wukong would never agree. He chased after her and kept apologizing, "Xue'er, don't be angry. It's my fault. Next time I'll restrain myself. I definitely won't make you faint. Okay?"
Yang Xue angrily pushed him away. "A man's words are nothing but lies. You've said that twice already, and I've fainted for the third time... Wuwu, you're not human..."
As she spoke, she complained aggrievedly, "Don't follow me. I'm going home."
"Xue'er, I was wrong. No matter where you want to go, I'll take you there. Can I promise not to touch you for these few days?" Sun Wukong regretted it deeply. He never expected things to turn out like this.
Yang Xue didn't want to talk to him. She glared at him angrily in a fit of pique. "You said it!"
"I swear to the sky that I definitely won't touch you for these few days!" Sun Wukong was extremely regretful. "I remember you collected quite a few erotic pictures from the Scorpion Spirit. How about I go and study them so that I won't make Xue'er uncomfortable in the future..."
"Shut up!" Yang Xue quickly raised her hand to cover his mouth. She blushed and looked around. "We're on the street. Do you still want to eat?"
After leaving the mountaintop, to replenish her strength, she headed straight for the restaurant at the foot of the mountain, planning to have a big meal.
"If Xue'er is tired, I'll carry you on my back." Seeing that she was walking very slowly, Sun Wukong knew he had been too reckless. He quickly squatted down in front of her. "As long as you don't go home, I'll agree to anything Xue'er wants to do."
Yang Xue couldn't help but stop. Why was the Great Sage suddenly so anxious?
"Xue'er, you're not really going home, are you?" Sun Wukong looked sad. He held her hand tightly, afraid that she would leave.
Only then did Yang Xue realize that he was worried she would leave this world and return to her previous one.
She couldn't help but laugh. How easy it was to tease the Great Sage.
"No, I'll always be here, accompanying the Great Sage." Yang Xue sighed helplessly. "Great Sage, what are you thinking?"
"However, I've been worried recently. Since you're not the White Bone Demon and even you don't know why you're here, I'm always afraid that one day when I wake up, I'll find that you've disappeared." Sun Wukong wasn't lying. He had asked the Supreme Lord Lao Jun and even visited the Patriarch Bodhi several times, but they couldn't guarantee that Xue'er would always stay here.
Especially that completely changed Tathagata. The so - called system he mentioned was clearly an all - powerful god. If he wanted to take Xiaoxue away and go to another place just like the real Tathagata...
He didn't dare to think about what would happen next. This matter had been bothering him for a long time, but Yang Xue never seemed to take it to heart.
He also couldn't imagine that he was becoming more and more like Tang Seng.
Yang Xue looked at Sun Wukong seriously. This seven - foot man who seemed omnipotent in front of others, the Sun Wukong who had caused trouble in Heaven twice, was like a docile big cat in front of her, even a bit melancholy. She couldn't help but introspect if she had led him astray.
Just then, a childish voice broke the silence.
"Be careful. Danger is approaching!" Qing Xuan suddenly appeared on Yang Xue's shoulder and looked around warily.
Yang Xue subconsciously pulled Sun Wukong back and jumped to avoid the Sword of Slaughter flying towards her.
"Clang!"
The Ruyi Jingu Bang collided with the Sword of Slaughter, making a deafening sound.
Sun Wukong protected Yang Xue behind him. Looking at the masked man slowly descending from the sky, in an instant, his golden chain mail appeared to protect his body and a red cloak appeared behind him. He instantly switched to a battle state.
Yang Xue felt a warm feeling in her heart. The familiar Great Sage was back!
Suddenly, ten people appeared. They were wearing silver battle suits and holding long spears. It was hard to tell where they were from.
But Yang Xue keenly realized that these people were highly skilled. They might be formidable opponents.
The surroundings changed. In the blink of an eye, they were in a barren grassland. It was quiet all around, vast and boundless.
"Who are you?" Sun Wukong shouted sternly.
The leading man on the opposite side took a step forward. His eyes were covered by a silver net, making it hard to see.
Yang Xue suddenly had a bad premonition. Could it be that these people also came from beyond the sky?
If they didn't belong to any camp in the Three Realms, then they must be coming for her.
"Lady Yang Xue, our master requests your presence." He ignored Sun Wukong in front of him and stared directly at Yang Xue. "Don't be alarmed. We have no ill intentions. Our master just has something to say to Lady Yang."
"Yang Xue, you can't go!" Sun Wukong tightly protected her behind him. "You go first. I'll deal with them."
"Great Sage," Yang Xue raised her hand and pressed on his shoulder. She found that the Great Sage's shoulder was trembling slightly. He seemed to be afraid of something. "Great Sage, don't worry. I'll be back soon."
"You can't go!" Without hesitation, Sun Wukong carried Yang Xue on his shoulder and took off on a somersault cloud, trying to take her away.
Yang Xue tightly hugged the Great Sage's waist to prevent herself from falling off the cloud.
Looking at the silver figures not too far behind, Yang Xue thought that it seemed she couldn't have that big meal today.
She understood the Great Sage's mood at this moment. It was probably more than just worry. He was afraid that she would never return.
Leaning against his chest and hearing his strong heartbeat, Yang Xue comforted him gently, "Great Sage, don't worry. I'll really be back soon."
"You're lying. I've had nightmares for several nights. Just like now, you said you'd be back soon, but I searched the Three Realms and couldn't find your shadow." His voice was full of anger. "No matter where they're from, you can't go with them."
Yang Xue was helpless. Why did he have nightmares?
Why didn't she feel any premonition?
At this moment, she suddenly felt a little scared. Could it be that those people were really here to take her back?
If so, she couldn't just sit back and let them take her away obediently.
Yang Xue summoned the Heavenly Book, put her hands together, and said, "Escape!"
The next moment, they appeared in the Apricot Blossom Valley in the Northern Jambu - continent.
But in the blink of an eye, those silver figures also appeared behind them, keeping a certain distance, as if to say that they couldn't escape.
Yang Xue was helpless. She kissed the Great Sage on the cheek. "Great Sage, they've caught up. Stop for a while."
...
On Flower - Fruit Mountain.
The immortals who came to pay homage and offer gifts had already left. From time to time, little demons would appear, but they were all blocked at the foot of the mountain because their master hadn't returned.
Five days later, Sun Wukong returned to Flower - Fruit Mountain alone. The little demons waiting at the foot of the mountain wanted to go up and pay their respects, but they were blocked by a barrier.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng had been living on the mountain for a while. When Sun Wukong came back, they couldn't wait to ask about Yang Xue's whereabouts.
"Oh no. Yesterday when we were chanting scriptures in the Spirit Mountain, the Tathagata in the main hall suddenly interrupted everyone, left the hall, and asked to talk to us alone. He told us to wait for you two to come back again." Zhu Bajie carefully observed Sun Wukong's expression. "So, did he sense something?"
"I'll go find him!" The devastated Sun Wukong suddenly turned around and rushed out.
"Wait, elder brother. He told us to watch over you. The Tathagata isn't in the Spirit Mountain either. Go find him a month later." Zhu Bajie glanced at Sha Seng and added in a low voice, "He said this is Lady Yang's tribulation, and no one can change it."
