Tang Sanzang looked at the Yellow-Robed Monster's family, sprawled limply on the ground and still shaken, then at the Treasure Elephant Kingdom's ruler and ministers, whose faces were filled with reluctance and pleading. He understood that although this "Funeral Great Dao" was domineering, it truly was not the optimal solution here and now.
The optimal solution would actually be to properly lay the entire family to rest, allowing them to be reincarnated and reunited.
But that would directly cost Princess Bai Huaxiu her life, making it pointless.
"Since none of you agree with this method of funeral rites, I will not carry out the funeral."
Tang Sanzang swept his gaze across the king and court officials of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, then the Yellow-Robed Monster's family.
"Then I shall switch to another method."

Everyone apart from the Preaching Squad members was dumbfounded.
They had all prepared themselves to accept the previous proposal—having the Yellow-Robed Monster trade half his kingdom for Bai Huaxiu's lifetime of beauty.
Yet Tang Sanzang was now saying that there was another solution?
This was Daoist Tang Sanzang, who had come from the eastern Tang Empire.
They were filled with reverence, feeling that they understood far too little about the Dao of Daoism and that their understanding of this Daoist was far too superficial.
[Classmate Three Burials is highly motivated to become the protagonist of our Daoism.] [To perfectly clear this trial, he's even offering a third solution.] [Tsk, tsk, tsk.]
Zhou Qingqing sighed inwardly.
She had no desire whatsoever to interfere in such completely risk-free trivial matters. Tang Sanzang continuing to propose solutions was entirely their own decision.
Tang Sanzang withdrew the unsettling aura of funeral rites surrounding him and turned his gaze toward Sun Wukong, who was scratching his ears and cheeks
