In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

"Look! Look!"

"He's back! Buddha Treasure is back!"

Seeing the shimmering Buddhist treasures on the pagoda, Chen Yi smiled broadly, a huge weight finally lifted from his heart.

The following day, as the four travelers embarked on their journey, the old king personally came to see them off.

The monks of Jin Guang Temple were all released, and Jin Guang Temple was transformed into Fu Long Temple.

……

Chen Yi glanced at Zhu Bajie, who was leading the way, and then at Sun Wukong, who was leisurely standing to the side. He couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

It was clearly agreed beforehand that Sun Wukong would be in charge of clearing the way, but today it was Bajie who took over.

The road paved by Sun Wukong was much smoother and wider.

Sun Wukong turned his head and noticed the doubt in his eyes, so he lowered his voice and explained, "Bajie was clamoring to lose weight yesterday, so I gave him the job of clearing the way. Don't worry, he won't be able to stick to it for long."

Looking at Pigsy's round body, Chen Yi's lips twitched a few times. How long would it take to lose weight like this?

Moreover, Bajie never watched his food. The more work he did, the more he ate. How could he possibly lose weight like that?

Chen Yi asked softly, "Great Sage, why does Pigsy suddenly want to lose weight?"

Sun Wukong said with a look of disgust, "He was being disliked by his wife in his dream, that is, Gao Cuilan."

Chen Yi: “…”

Could it be that Pigsy really plans to go back to find Gao Cuilan after the journey to the West is over? By then, she will probably already be married and a mother.

Seeing Bajie panting heavily, Chen Yi felt pity and quickly said, "Bajie, let's rest for a while ahead."

Upon hearing this, Pigsy felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly replied, "Alright!"

Just then, there were a few stone pillars in front of them. Sha Wujing wiped them clean and carefully helped Chen Yi sit down.

Pigsy: "Master, I'm hungry, let's eat."

Chen Yi: ...If I remember correctly, it's only been less than two hours since I finished breakfast! And Bajie, all by himself, devoured eight large bowls of porridge in one go.

Nevertheless, Chen Yi agreed: "Okay, let's eat then."

Then, Chen Yi turned to Sha Wujing and instructed him, "Wujing, go and cook some porridge for your senior brother."

Upon hearing his master's command, Sha Wujing first patted Zhu Bajie's round belly, then burst into laughter, replying, "Yes, Master!"

At this moment, Sun Wukong, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say with disgust, "He really is a pig! He can really eat!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi smiled and said, "It's alright, it's alright, we have enough food to feed him."

Sun Wukong nodded in agreement after hearing Chen Yi's words, and chimed in, "That's right, let's fatten this guy up first, so it'll be easier to slaughter him and eat him later!"

Pigsy was happily waiting for the freshly cooked porridge to be served when he suddenly heard Sun Wukong's words. His eyes widened and his face was full of grievance.

Why don't you prick up your ears and listen carefully to what nonsense you're spouting?

Seeing Pigsy's frustrated and speechless expression, Chen Yi's lips curled into a mischievous smile, and he teased, "Pigsy, what brilliant idea do you have? Your senior brother wants to eat you~"

Pigsy grunted and replied indignantly, "Even if I, Old Pig, die, I'll drag my master down with me."

That will surely break Sun Wukong's heart.

Chen Yi: ...What does this have to do with me?

Sun Wukong: ...I have to say, this really does threaten him.

"Great Sage! Great Sage!"

"Holy Monk!"

An aged voice, booming like a bell, came from afar.

As the man approached, it was discovered that he was a kind-looking old man, followed closely by a red-haired boy carrying a fruit platter.

Upon seeing the two, Chen Yiyi, like a frightened bird, swiftly hid behind Sun Wukong.

The old man hurriedly explained, "I am the local deity of Thorn Ridge. Upon learning of the Great Sage's arrival, I had no means of respect, so I prepared a plate of mountain fruits as a token of my gratitude."

With that, he waved to the people behind him and said loudly, "Present it quickly!"

"Yes, Master."

When Pigsy saw the fresh and juicy fruit on the fruit plate, his mouth watered and he couldn't wait to reach out and grab it.

Chen Yi hurriedly spoke up to stop him: "Bajie, wait!"

Sun Wukong also shouted, "Bajie!"

After saying that, he kicked the fruit plate, sending it scattering into pieces.

Upon seeing this, the two men vanished without a trace, like startled birds.

Chen Yi gripped Sun Wukong's arm tightly, thinking to himself, "He's already so vigilant, how could he possibly be kidnapped?"

However, when he found that his hand had involuntarily let go, Chen was speechless.

Are they trying to get the KPL title secured by arresting him? They can actually arrest him like that? That's ridiculous!
