The King of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom had truly never expected the members of the Preaching Squad to be so utterly "insatiable." They had even left him, the king himself, unable to save face.
But the Preaching Squad held the upper hand now, so he had no choice but to accept it.
Of course.
His own inaction had been the main reason this had happened.
"Regent Prince, Co-Equal Prince, Grand Marshal of the Armies."
"I have now fulfilled my promises. I ask that you all take action and completely settle this heartache that has weighed on me for thirteen years."
The king pointed at the Yellow-Robed Monster, then looked toward Princess Bai Huaxiu in the distance, who was playing with her two grandsons with a complicated expression. A trace of reluctance flashed through his eyes, but there was even more resolve.
"Though this demon has been subdued, he is still a demon by nature."
"If I keep him in court, the civil and military officials will live in fear day and night. If I kill him, I fear the princess will be heartbroken. This ill-fated bond between the princess and him must ultimately be resolved in a way that satisfies both sides."
The Co-Equal Prince and the Grand Marshal of the Armies exchanged glances in the great hall, then tacitly looked away.
To them, a union between a human and a demon was not some ill-fated bond at all.
Moreover, the Yellow-Robed Monster was not actually a demon, but a star official of the Heavenly Court.
They truly had no place to comment on such a matter.
Seeing Sun Wukong and Little White Dragon avert their gazes, Tang Sanzang found it rather amusing.
Avoidance might be shameful, but it really worked.
[Monkey Brother and Little White Dragon are useless.]
