This was good!
There was no danger to their lives!
But Tang Sanzang's expression changed, and he cried out, "A year?!"
Jinling nodded.
"That's right, one year!"
"Holy Monk, you are still a mortal and bear an imperial decree. You truly cannot afford to delay for a year!"

Tang Sanzang simply found it all particularly unbelievable.
Zhu Bajie answered seriously, "Master, didn't the Sect Leader say
