As Demon King's words fell, Hun Xiu and Sun Wukong both froze, especially Sun Wukong, who felt a slight shock in his heart. Could Demon King have heard my thoughts?
Although the idea was unbelievable, even absurd, that did not mean it was impossible. After all, none of them had heard anything—only Demon King had. It was hard for Sun Wukong not to think along those lines.
Sun Wukong looked at Demon King probingly. "Big Brother, did you hear wrong? There wasn't any sound at all!"
"No!"
Demon King shook his head with certainty. "Brother, listen carefully. I think I heard that yellow-faced hag's voice."
Uh...
Sun Wukong froze. Just as he was about to refute him, he happened to see Princess Iron Fan standing behind Demon King. When he saw her, Sun Wukong paused before saying, "Eldest sister-in-law."
Princess Iron Fan shot Sun Wukong a glare, clearly very dissatisfied with how he addressed her. When they had been moonlit lovers, he had called her sweetie, but now he was calling her sister-in-law! Demon King froze for a moment, then burst into laughter. He even patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder. "Brother, stop playing around. I was joking with you. Why are you joking with me too? That yellow-faced hag is still at Flaming Mountain. How could she possibly be here?"
"Dead bull, what did you say?" Princess Iron Fan's voice rang out at that moment.
Demon King froze, then said dismissively, "Brother, I'm hearing things now. I actually heard that yellow-faced hag's voice."
As he spoke, Demon King turned around. The moment he saw Princess Iron Fan, he froze. He had thought it was a joke, but it had unexpectedly come true.
Demon King panicked. Swallowing hard, he said in a trembling voice, "W-wife..."
Demon King was truly panicked.
