Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

Chapter 258: There is nothing in the first place, so where can dust be found? The queen said, "As Elder Sun said, this scorpion demon has killed countless people in my Xiliang Women's Kingdom. Now that it has been finally killed, I beg you to hang it at the city gate for three days to deter the demons and let the people of my Xiliang Women's Kingdom experience the kindness of all the gods."

When she said this, her eyes were sincere, as if every eyelash was telling of her sincere feelings. Wen Jiao had no reason to disapprove of her harmless intention.

Therefore, the corpse of the Scorpion Demon was hung on the city gate of the Kingdom of Women for three whole days for public display. The act of hanging the demon like a piece of bacon once again proved the cruelty of the women in the Kingdom of Women, which frightened those who heard about it.

On the fourth day, the queen held a grand farewell ceremony. She personally wrote the names of Wukong and the other two on the pass document, and then stamped the imperial seal on it with her own hands.

Xuanzang bid farewell to the queen and rode away on a white horse. The citizens of the Kingdom of Women poured into the streets to watch this handsome man who had rarely been seen in decades.

Bajie found the girl who had confessed her love to him that day in the crowd and said, "Yu Nu, I have to go. It will take seven or eight years for me to come back. Can you wait for me?"

The girl named Yu Nu asked in surprise: "Why should I wait for you?"

Bajie was stunned: "Aren't you... aren't you thinking of me?"

Yu Nu chuckled: "Which one likes you? That was the order from the postmaster, telling us three sisters to pretend to be attracted to you, so as to find out whether there is a way to remove the immortal thorns on Tang Yu's body. Otherwise, how could it be possible that three people just happened to like you three brothers?"

"Wow!"

Bajie felt his heart split in two. He wanted to struggle a bit, and asked in a muffled voice, "Then, if the postmaster hadn't ordered you to do that, what would you think of me?"

The girl said without hesitation: "How can I see? Look at you, you are such a pig. I am not blind!"

"Crash!" Bajie's heart was broken. With tears in his eyes, he tried his best to catch up with his master's horse and cried to Wukong who looked like he was enjoying the show.

"Big Brother," Bajie said angrily, "I, Old Pig, will never love again."

Wukong patted his shoulder and said, "There is nothing originally, so how can dust be attached to it?"

On the city wall, the queen watched Xuanzang's back as he walked away, feeling very melancholy.

"I regret that we didn't meet before I became a nun." She confessed her feelings to Wen Jiao openly.

Wen Jiao laughed: "That's unfortunate. Xuanzang became a monk on the second day after he was born."

Queen:……

Yuan Tiangang had been in a trance, and upon hearing this, he quietly held Wen Jiao's hand. He knew that when Xuanzang was born, Wen Jiao—or should it be Yin Wen Jiao—was still trapped in Hongzhou, being occupied by the villain Liu Hong. As soon as the child was born, Yin Wen Jiao had to abandon him in order to save his life.

Even though Wen Jiao is not Yin Wen Jiao, the memories of the two have long since merged, and she still feels the heart-wrenching pain of separation.

I regret not meeting you at that time...

Wen Jiao held his hand back and pinched the back of his hand deliberately until she saw the pain on his face. Then she smiled gently and said to the queen, "Xuanzang has set off. It's time for us to leave too."

This time, the queen's reluctance was even stronger than when Xuanzang left: "Fairy, I am planning to organize an embassy and a caravan to recruit a large number of young women to go abroad to make a living. Fairy, please teach me what else I need to pay attention to on this trip."

"You are a wise king, so you will naturally think things through. I have nothing to teach you." Wen Jiao stood with her hands behind her back, her eyes piercing through the mountains and rivers, looking at the endless and vast world, "It's just... after you go out, maybe you will find that the outside world is actually just like this."

If I had never left Lingguo and had never seen the hearts of people outside of this country, would I not be so painful and embarrassed?

Mesa looked at the endless army on the opposite side, at the look of contempt and confusion on the familiar general's face, at Gesar, who was wearing golden armor and red robe and looked as dignified as a god at the front of the battle, and thought faintly in his heart.

Gesar's anger was so clear that he whipped his horse whip, making a crisp sound: "Shameless Jiang Kingdom, if you don't return my beloved concubine Meisa, my Ling Kingdom army will crush Jiang Kingdom to the ground!"

King Sadan of Jiang State laughed: "Gesar, how many times do I have to repeat that Mesa Benji came to Jiang State on her own. I have told your envoys many times that she is free to come and go, and can leave at any time as long as she wants. Since you are her husband, just ask her to go back with you." He paused and smiled meaningfully, "You don't think your woman will disobey you, do you?"

The hand holding the horse whip suddenly clenched, and Gesar's face turned cold: "Jiang State has detained Princess Meisa and provoked Ling State. Men of Ling State, follow me to flatten Jiang State and bring back the princess!"

"Destroy Jiang Kingdom and bring back the princess!"

"Destroy Jiang Kingdom and bring back the princess!"

"Enough!" Mesa finally couldn't help it, pushed away the people around him, rode out on his horse, and said, "My king, if you have anything to say, just come to me. Why are you leading troops to attack Jiang State?"

When Gesar saw her finally show up, he frowned and said, "Are you willing to come out? You won't run away this time?"

Seeing his dark eyes sweeping towards him, Mesa lowered his head obediently out of habit, then suddenly raised his head again: "My lord, I told you two years ago..."

Gesar was impatient to hear her nagging about trivial matters, so he interrupted her and said, "Stop it and come back with me."

Mesa bit her lip and said, "Why should Mesa go back with you? A good woman should naturally worship her husband as if he were a god. But you, Gesar, are you my husband?"

Gesar's face slightly changed: "Meisabengji, what are you crazy about?"

"How is this crazy? Even if they are a real couple, only an incompetent coward would yell at his wife like this. Gesar, are you a coward?" Prince Yula couldn't stand it anymore. His face turned red with anger. He rode his horse forward to protect Mesa in front, frowned his little eyebrows like an ink painting, and said loudly.

Gesar should have been angry, but when he saw Yula, who looked like a silver doll, he could not get angry for some reason, and said in a friendly manner: "Boy, who on this snowy plain does not know my name as the Lion King? How could I be an incompetent man?"

"Then why don't you dare listen to a woman?" Yu La laughed.

Gesar choked and turned his eyes to Mesa. Seeing that her crystal eyes like star stones were filled with tears, he couldn't help but sigh: "Mesa, I have never treated you unfairly."

On the snowy plains, no monarch had ever treated his concubines as generously as he did, giving them the most spacious and comfortable palaces, precious silks and jewels, groups of slaves and servants, and the freedom to enter and leave the palace at will. He didn't even mind that Mesa had lost her virginity to the enemy country many times.

Thinking of this, Gesar was confused and puzzled: "Why do you want to..."

Pretending to visit Jiang State and leaving Ling State, leaving me?
