Sun Wukong's unexpected remark left the pineapple-scarred fat man speechless for a moment. But Feng Xue had no intention of wasting any more time talking to him. Now that the Trait had taken shape, he naturally had no interest in sitting in jail. He said at once:
"You want me behind bars? Heh, go ahead and try!"

But in later years, people occasionally encountered a strangely dressed man in the streets and alleys and received a Peach Banquet peach from him. From then on, they understood the finest tastes in the world. As for whether that man was Sun Wukong himself, well, that depended on whether you believed it...
