Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

As the protagonist of the banquet, Bharata did not know that he had just been assigned a recitation homework of 230,000 words. He was quietly slipping away from the banquet with sweet expectations.

He ran to the palm tree in the back garden of the palace, where someone was already waiting. Yunzhu held up a lantern and shone it on his face. She laughed, and a hint of beauty and shyness suddenly blossomed on her ordinary face: "Your crown is crooked."

Bharata quickly straightened the crown: "Is it straightened?"

Yunzhu tilted her head and took a look: "It's straight." Seeing that he had a golden crown on his head, golden beads around his neck, rubies on his earrings and rings, and a silk shawl draped over his left shoulder that outlined his muscular shoulders and waistline, she couldn't help but blush, "Little Bharata has made great progress. He looks very majestic dressed like this."

Bharata grumbled, "You and sister Fazhu used to call me little Bharata. Now that I am the king, you still call me little Bharata."

"Fazhu must have changed his address to call you His Majesty now, so go find Fazhu. Why did you secretly write to me and ask me to meet you here?" Yunzhu spat.

"Because I want to ask you if you are willing to be my queen." Bharata blurted out.

Yunzhu opened her lips slightly and froze there.

She must have dressed up carefully before coming to the appointment today, not only applying powder, drawing eyebrows, applying rouge, but also combing her hair into an exquisite bun and wearing pearl hairpins and earrings. The girl, who usually looks plain, has a lively and lovely beauty under the dim light of the lantern.

But she was obviously shocked by this question. For some reason, instead of showing any surprise, the sweet and charming look in her eyes disappeared, and was replaced by deep thought and pain.

Bharata's confidence was gradually shaken in her long thinking. It was not until he asked again that Yunzhu lowered her head: "How old are you? You are not even old enough to talk about love, but you want to marry a queen?"

Bharata said shyly, "I am still young, but I am taller and stronger than many adult warriors. Why can't I marry a queen? You don't know, many nobles, ministers, and princes have tried their best to curry favor with my mother, wanting to force their daughters to me. It would be best if the wedding could be held this month. Moreover, girls in India can get married at the age of six, so of course I can get married at the age of six."

Yunzhu raised her head, her expression very serious: "But I don't want to."

Bharata said happily: "I knew you liked me. When I was doing odd jobs for you, you always came to talk to me. It was so dangerous yesterday, but you risked your life to save me... What did you just say?"

Yunzhu looked at him deeply. The little giant inherited his mother's beauty. Not only was his appearance breathtakingly beautiful, but he was also tall and strong. Even without his gorgeous clothes, he was still the ultimate embodiment of masculine beauty.

She felt that no matter how many years passed, she would never forget their first meeting. She was carrying a pitcher of water to the kitchen, and ran into the boy who had just finished chopping wood.

Barefoot, ragged clothes, black curly hair scattered like dark clouds, a face as beautiful as a Upala flower. At that moment, she truly understood what it meant to say "a thorny hairpin and a cloth skirt cannot hide a beauty".

The women of Xiliang Women's Kingdom were never afraid to take action. Since they were moved, they naturally couldn't help but want to get closer, although she knew very well that compared to her plain appearance, it was obviously the charming and beautiful Fazhu who attracted Bharata's attention. But so what? She was confident that with her wisdom, she would be able to win the heart of her beloved man sooner or later.

Unfortunately……

She took a deep breath and said, "Bharata, I like you and am willing to fall in love with you and even sacrifice my life to save you. But I don't want to marry you... I wish you were not the king of Elephant City."

Bharata couldn't believe his ears: "If I am not the king of Elephanta, will you marry me?"

"Then I can marry you and take you back to the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang." Yunzhu said regretfully.

When he was still a beautiful young man in poverty, Yunzhu could take him away. But when he became a king whom she could not take away, Yunzhu would be happy to have something happen with him to leave a beautiful memory of her girlish love, but she would never stay for him.

"I don't understand. They're both marriages. What's the difference between going to the Kingdom of Women in Xiliang and staying in Elephant City?" Bharata was confused and even a little aggrieved.

Yunzhu looked at him with a slightly changed look, a little disappointed, even a little contemptuous: "Not everyone is as gifted as you, growing up to be the strongest warrior at a young age. In a country where it is customary to take six-year-old girls as brides, there is no place for any girl from Xiliang. If you don't understand this truth when you are still growing up in the common people, you will never understand it in the future."

So, she would not stay.

Bharata still didn't understand. He only knew that the woman he wanted to marry for the first time in his life actually dumped him!

"Ah!" Bharata screamed to the sky, like a groundhog screaming.

One has to admit that his mother gave him an appearance that was too good. Even in such a state of disrespect, he still looked very handsome. Yunzhu only looked at him coldly for a while, and her heart softened.

Since you are greedy, you must take action. Hesitation, worry, and crying are not the behavior of a daughter of the Kingdom of Women. Yunzhu sighed and said, "The commander said that we will leave Xiangcheng and return to Xiliang Kingdom of Women early tomorrow morning."

"Ga?" Bharata's voice was stuck.

Yunzhu took the initiative to step forward and hugged him: "After tonight, you and I may never see each other again in this life. Are you sure you want to spend these last moments howling like this?"

Bharata:!!!

Wen Jiao and Huo Ling'er took a look at the gossip. Seeing that the style of the painting was about to go in the direction of being inappropriate for children, Wen Jiao sighed at the fierce style of the women in the Kingdom of Women, while covering Huo Ling'er's eyes and flying east: "Let's go."

Huo Ling'er pushed her hand with her claws: "Don't cover it, I won't peek. Where are we going next?"

Wen Jiao said, "Let's go to Wudang Mountain and play a few games of chess with Master. Once he's comfortable, I'll borrow the two generals, the turtle and the snake, and the five great dragon gods from him, and follow me to Renli Heaven to make a scene."

As he was speaking, Xuanzang's voice came through thousands of miles away.

"Mother." Xuanzang, who had become much calmer after years of hardships, now had a rare tremor in his voice.

You can tell that he is extremely scared.

Wen Jiao's heart was slightly shaken: "What happened!"

With Xuanzang's current determination, he wouldn't even blink an eye even if he was abducted by a big monster and threatened to be skinned and boned. Moreover, with Wukong watching, how could he really be in danger? He was still so scared, it must be that he had encountered a very big event!

Xuanzang said with a trembling voice: "My child has walked into a very dangerous place."

"Where?" Wen Jiao frowned.

"Seven quatrains are sparsely written at the entrance of the persimmon alley in the mountain." Xuanzang's voice already had a tearful tone.

Wukong interrupted with his voice, so angry that he seemed to be able to smash ten mountains at any time: "Ah, bah, bah, I have never smelled such a bad smell in all my years since I became intelligent!"
