The Golden Haired Monster looked at the Black Bear Spirit, who spread his hands and said, "Don''t look at me; this is your family affair, you sort it out yourself. But, time is running out..."

    The Golden Haired Monster was so anxious that he patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, actually, the three-year deadline is nearly up. Just calculate, it''s either today or tomorrow. You go back first, I promise, I''ll make these three years of punishment count as perfect, with no more trouble in the future, alright?"

    The Golden Holy Palace Empress looked at the Golden Haired Monster suspiciously and said, "Trying to trick the gods again, are you?"

    The Golden Haired Monster was nearly in tears: "Oh, my empress, I''m almost dead, what schemes would I still play on you? Besides, I''ve been scheming for two or three years, and I haven''t even touched a single hair of yours... Forget it, I''m tired, alright? I give up, I won''t chase after you anymore, is that alright? Please go!"

    The Golden Holy Palace Empress looked at the Golden Haired Monster, puzzled, and muttered to herself, "Is he... mad?"

    Eventually, the Golden Holy Palace Empress left...

    However, the story wasn''t over yet, as the Golden Haired Monster sneaked into the palace overnight and then offered up a precious elixir that healed the King of the Vermilion and Purple Kingdom''s illness.

    The King of the Vermilion and Purple Kingdom had been pining for his wife, sick with longing; now that he had replenished his health and seen the Golden Holy Palace Empress return, he was overjoyed, and all of his illnesses vanished.

    Meanwhile, on the eastern official road, a lone rider kicked up a cloud of dust...

    A white horse came galloping, carrying a bald man who held a bowl in one hand and chopsticks in the other, with a burly man striding next to him, carrying a large pot in his hands.

    Two monkeys soared through the sky, each carrying a staff, and leading the way was a three-meter tall pig with large ears, clutching a rake and eyes ablaze with murderous intent, howling as he charged towards the Vermilion and Purple Kingdom.

    Those in the know realized they were just rushing to eat, but to the uninformed, it looked like they were about to attack the city.

    The intensity of their approach shocked the guards at the eastern city gate so much that they were immobilized for a long time...@@@@

    After the group dashed through the city gates, the guards finally recovered their senses and screamed, "Monsters are attacking the city!"

    Yet, to their surprise, this band of violent monks stopped in front of the notice board at the entrance of Chen Gate and appeared to be discussing something.

    A group of city guards hurriedly followed and encircled the party.

    "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Don''t get excited!" Sun Wukong shouted as he handed over the imperial pass.

    After examining it, the captain of the city guards said in amazement, "You are monks from the Great Tang of the Eastern Land?"

    He was very angry, extremely angry!

    Zhu Ganglie looked at Sun Wukong, seeking help.

    Sun Wukong quickly said, "Master, I think the idiot didn''t lie this time, but something went wrong in between."

    Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong with doubt.

    Sun Wukong explained, "Master, you heard what the captain of the city guard just said. The king here was indeed sick, and the queen was indeed abducted. This shows that the idiot''s information was reliable.

    But we have just arrived, and the king''s illness is cured, and the queen is back, isn''t that too coincidental?"

    Tang Sanzang narrowed his eyes, "You mean?"

    The Six-Eared Macaque said, "Big Brother means, the other party most likely did the same as the Yellow Browed King, they got the message that we were coming, dropped everything, and ran. After all, with a Bodhisattva''s mount, they wouldn''t leave a big mess, so they restored everything..."

    Tang Sanzang knew this explanation was credible, but he was very annoyed!

    Extremely annoyed!

    Because, there was no meat to eat!

    While they were talking, on the rooftop of a nine-story building in the distance, a red-haired man and a dark-skinned man sat in the tavern, drinking wine and eating meat, then sneakily glanced over to check out the situation here.

    "Good thing I acted fast, this is almost immediate, nearly got caught red-handed." Golden Retriever Ancestor whispered.

    The Black Bear Spirit said, "Didn''t expect this guy to come so fast. Looking at the situation, if you were slightly slower, he probably would''ve grabbed you and started eating sashimi right then and there."

    Golden Retriever Ancestor subconsciously covered his rear.

    The Black Bear Spirit rolled his eyes at him, "Relax, he''s not that interested in large-intestine sashimi."

    Golden Retriever Ancestor sighed in relief, "That''s good, that''s good. Alright, don''t look anymore, let''s hurry and go. Being here gives me the creeps."

    The Black Bear Spirit also said, "Right, right, right, let''s hurry up and go. Every time I see him, my skin crawls."
