Tang Luo sat cross-legged atop the dragon's head, with savage, razor-sharp dragon horns rising on either side before him.

Sun Wukong peeked out from behind and looked toward the Howling Celestial Dog.

The Howling Celestial Dog lay curled in Tang Luo's lap, then rolled over to expose her belly.

Sun Wukong was thoroughly baffled. Was this really the vicious dog that had suddenly bitten him back then?

How had she ended up like this?

Yang Jian, something feels off about your dog!

As though she sensed Sun Wukong's gaze, the Howling Celestial Dog abruptly flipped over, raised her head to glare at him, and bared her fangs.

"Ah, we were fated to meet but not destined to be together." Pig Bajie sighed. "Since ancient times, those with deep feelings have only been left with regret, a regret that stretches on without end."

"...Master taught you two lines, and you've been muttering them ever since," Sun Wukong said.

"Eldest Brother, times really have changed. Some things aren't easy to talk about now. We'll discuss them when the time comes," Pig Bajie said.

Sun Wukong nodded.
