Baoxiang Kingdom Welcomes the Third Princess; Master and Disciples Encounter a Haunted Temple on the Road

Duanmu Huai rescued the Third Princess, killed the demon along the way, swept up its treasures, and took its wine and food. Sun Wukong could only shake his head.

"Master, they say monks must empty themselves of the four great things. How come you're not empty at all?"

"How am I not empty? Don't talk nonsense."

Hearing Sun Wukong, Duanmu Huai glared at him.

"Look, the treasures in this cave are gone, the people are gone, the wine is gone, and even the wife has run off. Isn't that emptying the four great things? I'm bringing blessings to this cave. What the hell would you know?"

"I've never heard of emptying the four great things like that before..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Sun Wukong was speechless. He said no more, and the group left the dilapidated cave with their arms full of spoils before returning to the caravan.

When they returned, the caravan members were still where they had been, trembling with fear. Seeing Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong return with another person, they were even more stunned. The old merchant, however, knew better than to ask questions. Instead, Duanmu Huai noticed that the woman named Cui'er had disappeared. When he asked about her, everyone looked at one another.

It turned out that when Kui Mulang had led the little demons here to throw their weight around, the merchants had been scared witless and had completely forgotten about the woman. When they finally looked back, they found that she had vanished without a trace.

"Bah, that demon must have seen how powerful Master and I are and run away. At least she knows her place. Otherwise, I would've smashed her ugly head."

"Try to cause a little less trouble. If you really want to fight, stop with the fancy nonsense.
