In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

Seven days later, in the early morning, sunlight shone softly through the clouds, illuminating the streets and alleys of Yuhua Prefecture.

The three brothers, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, compiled their carefully crafted martial arts manual into a book, and then casually tossed it to the three princes who were waiting in the courtyard, like throwing sandbags.

"Here you go, kids! You'd better train hard from now on, because we can't keep teaching you here forever," Sun Wukong said.

Pigsy chimed in, "That's right, that's right. We still have important business to attend to, and we can't stay here forever. But as long as you practice diligently according to this method, you're sure to achieve great things in the future."

Sha Wujing smiled憨厚ly and added, "If you encounter anything you don't understand, you can figure it out on your own. If you really can't, you can come and ask us again when we meet again by chance."

After explaining these things, the three brothers turned to bid farewell to the king.

The king personally led a group of ministers to see them off, his gratitude evident in his words.

After a simple breakfast, Sun Wukong and his disciples continued their journey westward.

However, just as they stepped out of the city gate and passed through a dense forest, they suddenly heard shouts of battle coming from all directions.

A group of lions charged out of the woods, led by the yellow lion monster they had fought before.

Upon seeing this, Pigsy immediately brandished his nine-toothed rake and shouted, "Hey! You ignorant monster, didn't you suffer enough last time? You still dare to come looking for death!"

The Yellow Lion Monster snorted coldly and replied disdainfully, "Hmph! Enough nonsense! I will definitely get my revenge today! Brothers, charge!"

At his command, the six lion demons behind him pounced on Sun Wukong and the others like hungry tigers, baring their teeth and claws.

In an instant, dust filled the air, and shouts of battle echoed through the sky.

Seeing that things were not going well, Chen Yi quickly took Jiang Liuer and hid in the space.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, however, were not afraid. They each drew their weapons and engaged in a fierce battle with the group of menacing lion demons.

……

Chen sighed repeatedly inside the space. Why was that Yellow Lion Monster so vengeful? He was the one who stole the weapon first, so why was he still so relentless?

They were all prepared to let him off the hook, but unexpectedly, he came to them on his own.

I thought he would be reasonable since he could pay for things, but I didn't expect him to be so petty.

If he gets killed by Sun Wukong this time, all he can say is "Amitabha!"

Sure enough, after a short while, Sun Wukong had Chen Yi bring Jiang Liuer out of the space, and the Yellow Lion Monster had already been killed by them.

Looking at the corpse of the Yellow Lion Monster, Chen Yi sighed, "You have a path to heaven but you refuse to take it, you have no way to hell but you insist on walking through it..."

“Great Sage, if that nine-headed lion finds out that his grandson is dead, he will definitely seek revenge on us.”

Sun Wukong remained calm: "This Great Sage is not afraid of him."

Chen Yi said worriedly, "I'm afraid he'll target the people of Yuhua Prefecture."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong frowned deeply.

Jiang Liuer also looked worried and said softly, "Wukong, why don't you go back to the city and find out what's going on?"

Sun Wukong nodded slightly, then turned and left.

Chen Yi and the others waited anxiously in place.

Not long after, Sun Wukong rushed back, his face looking rather grim.

Chen Yi hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "What happened?"

Sun Wukong said in a deep voice, "That nine-headed lion kidnapped the king and his three sons, and left a message telling us to exchange our master for them."

Jiang Liuer was somewhat astonished and remained speechless for a long time.

After a while, he said, "Okay, I'll go!"

Looking at Jiang Liuer's resolute and fearless expression, Chen Yi sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation. His brother Jiang really valued other people's lives more than his own.

Pigsy quickly shouted, "Master! Don't meddle!"

If their master is eaten by a monster, wouldn't it be the brothers and sisters who suffer the punishment?

Sha Wujing suggested, "Why don't we secretly go and rescue the king and the others?"

Chen Yi said quietly, "As long as this monster is not eliminated, the king and his companions will be dancing on the edge of a knife and will never be safe."

Jiang Liuer said firmly, "Wukong, what he wants is me. Let's exchange me for him. It can save four lives. I think it's worth it."

Chen Yi thought to himself, "The Nine-Headed Lion storyline is already halfway through. I wonder if I can give the Great Sage a hint?"

Chen Yi cautiously probed, "Great Sage, %&￥￥@..." The nine-headed lion was named Nine Spirits Primordial Sage, the mount of Taiyi Salvation Heavenly Venerable...

Pigsy interrupted, "Little Master, say something we can understand!"

Chen Yi was speechless for a moment. It seemed that he was still under a gag order and could not offer any advice on the plot.

Just as he was feeling disappointed, Eleven next to him suddenly raised his hand excitedly, like a jubilant little bird: "I know! I know! Father said the Nine-Headed Lion is the mount of Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun!"

Chen Yi was stunned: "?!?!"

The others were initially bewildered, then shocked!

Was that really what Chen Yi meant when he spoke in that foreign language? Then why didn't they understand a word he said?

After regaining his senses, Chen Yi happily picked up his son, gave him a big kiss on the cheek, and then nodded vigorously to the others.

"Yes! That's exactly what I just said!"

It seems his son is completely unrestrained by the plot!

That's fantastic! Now he can indirectly influence the plot!

Sun Wukong: "I'm going to find Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun!"

"Bajie, Sha Wujing, protect Master!"

Sha Wujing: "Don't worry, senior brother, we will protect Master."

Chen Yi said with concern, "Great Sage, let's bring Brother Jiang along."

Sun Wukong nodded: "Then it's your decision."

After saying that, Sun Wukong put Chen Yi, his son, and Jiang Liuer into his spatial dimension.

After Sun Wukong left, Zhu Bajie suggested to Sha Wujing, "Junior brother, we don't know when our eldest brother will be back. Why don't we go back to Yuhua Prefecture first?"

Sha Wujing: "Okay, I'll listen to my second senior brother."

The two then set off back to Yuhua Prefecture.

The first thing Pigsy did upon returning to Yuhua Prefecture was to feast and drink to his heart's content in the palace, and watch beautiful women sing.
