In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

While eating breakfast, seeing Chen Yi constantly rubbing his lower back, Sha Wujing asked worriedly, "Master, what's wrong?"

Chen waved his hand and quickly said, "Oh, it's nothing, I just accidentally strained my waist."

He managed a smile, but a thin layer of sweat was seeping from his forehead.

At this moment, Pigsy was wolfing down his food, his cheeks bulging, and he mumbled incoherently, "Master, how could you be so careless? You must take better care of your health!"

After saying that, a light suddenly flashed in his round eyes, and he stared straight at Sun Wukong, asking impatiently, "Hehe, senior brother, tell me quickly, what rare treasures did that queen show you last night?"

Sun Wukong frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and then replied casually, "Hmm, I forgot!"

Sha Wujing couldn't help but interject, "How could we have forgotten? Senior Brother, please think about it again!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong glanced at Chen Yi, who looked slightly nervous, and chuckled to himself.

Then, feigning confusion, he slowly said, "I really don't remember! For some reason, my memory became hazy last night, and I really can't recall what treasure the queen took out."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi finally felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness, it's alright as long as I don't remember it!

However, he failed to notice Sun Wukong's shifty eyes and slightly upturned lips.

It turned out that Sun Wukong had already seen through the little monk's guilty conscience and fear, and now seeing his relieved expression, he found it even more amusing.

If that silly monk knew that he hadn't actually lost his memory of last night, he'd probably be so ashamed and angry that he'd want to crawl into a hole in the ground.

The young monk probably didn't know that the Memory-Removing Pill was made by Laozi for mortals and was only effective on them.

However, seeing how scared he is, he's quite pitiful. Oh well, let's not tell him for now.

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong decided to keep quiet so as not to anger the timid little monk.

……

Night falls.

On this quiet night, the Grand Tutor personally delivered the travel documents to Chen Yi and the others.

Chen Yi took the travel document and carefully examined the bright red seal on it. The huge weight that had been hanging over his heart finally lifted.

With this travel document, they were able to continue their journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

The next morning, the sun shone through the thin clouds and fell on the earth.

The four travelers packed their belongings and prepared to bid farewell to the Queen.

Sun Wukong's fiery eyes were fixed on the front, and he saw the beautiful and noble queen slowly walking towards him.

Her graceful figure swayed gently in the breeze, her eyes revealing endless reluctance to part.

When the four of them approached the Queen, Sun Wukong spoke first, saying, "Your Majesty, please wait."

His voice was deep and powerful, containing an invisible pressure.

At this point, Sun Wukong's impression of the queen was extremely bad.

If it weren't for her tutor secretly drugging her, how could she have lost control and bullied the cute little monk?

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.

Upon hearing this, the Queen's delicate body trembled slightly, and she stopped in her tracks.

She raised her head, her beautiful eyes fixed on the four figures of master and disciples walking further and further away, tears welling up in her eyes.

After a long while, the Queen turned her head and asked the Grand Tutor beside her in a low voice, "Grand Tutor, do you think Brother Sanzang holds a grudge against me?" Her words were full of worry and unease.

The Grand Tutor quickly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, do not worry. I obtained that medicine from an immortal. It was all my own decision and has nothing to do with Your Majesty."

"Even if Master Sanzang harbors resentment, it will only be directed at me alone."

In fact, the Grand Tutor's original intention was only to keep Master Sanzang, but he never expected things to develop to this point. It was truly a case of his clever plan backfiring!

Walking down the street, Chen Yi sent Sha Wujing to buy some food.

"Wujing, go buy some fresh vegetables and some rice. Oh, and since winter is coming, buy a few quilts as well."

Sha Wujing took the silver and said with a smile, "Yes, Master, I'll go right away."

Chen Yi suddenly remembered that there seemed to be monsters in the Women's Kingdom as well, so he quickly lowered his voice and whispered to Sun Wukong beside him, "Great Sage, if I am kidnapped by monsters in the Women's Kingdom of Xiliang, remember to go and find the Pleiades Star Lord to subdue the monsters."

The scorpion demon stung Wukong and Bajie so badly they couldn't bear it. This time they left the Women's Kingdom ahead of schedule, and they didn't know if the Pleiades Star Lord would arrive in time.

Pigsy scoffed: "Master, you're being too cautious. There are no monsters here."

Chen Yi's right eye twitched incessantly, and he had a feeling that this trip would not go so smoothly.

Sure enough, as soon as they stepped out of the city, the monster appeared like a ghost.

As soon as the demon appeared, Sun Wukong sensed it and immediately grabbed Chen Yi, protecting him behind him, while warily watching the suddenly appearing female demon.

"Holy Monk..." The scorpion demon flirted with Chen Yipin, her voice soft and melodious, like a nightingale singing in a valley.

Sun Wukong's face was ashen: "Bajie, you go!"

Pigsy: "Hmph! Monster! Watch how I, Old Pig, subdue you!"

As soon as Pigsy rushed up to the monster, the monster gave him a flirtatious wink, and Pigsy was instantly captivated. He stumbled and fell to the ground with a thud.

Chen Yi: “…”

Pigsy can't move an inch when he sees a beautiful woman!

"Ouch! Ouch!" Pigsy cried out in pain, clutching his head.

Sha Wujing hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhu Bajie up: "Second Brother, what happened to you?"

Pigsy: "That monster used some kind of hidden weapon to prick me, it hurt like hell!"

Sun Wukong: "Hmph, let this Great Sage meet you, you evil demon!"

Sun Wukong charged forward like an arrow released from a bow, engaging in a thrilling and fierce battle with the scorpion demon.

The two fought from the ground to the sky, and then Chen Yi witnessed Sun Wukong falling straight down like a kite with a broken string.

Chen Yi: ...It's over! Even Sun Wukong has fallen victim to the Scorpion Demon's poisonous attack!

Chen Yi silently chanted: "...Pleiades Star Lord! Pleiades Star Lord! Pleiades Star Lord, please appear quickly!"

Unfortunately, the Pleiades star deity did not appear; instead, he was kidnapped by a monster.
