But when the Curtain-Rolling General heard the seven women say that Goku had immobilized them and left the Peach Orchard, he felt even more uneasy.
He looked at the teeth before him, seeming to have guessed something.
After hearing the seven fairies, Queen Mother of the West put on a shocked expression. "What? Great Sage Equaling Heaven Goku actually picked every single peach in the Peach Orchard?"
Queen Mother of the West had anticipated this outcome long ago, but she still had to pretend to be shocked.
"Please forgive us, Your Majesty. We searched the entire Peach Orchard, but there wasn't a single ripe peach left. They were all like this." The seven fairies knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly.
Queen Mother of the West's expression darkened. "Enough. You may leave."
Once the seven fairies had left, Queen Mother of the West's expression immediately turned calm, and a glimmer of excitement seemed to flash in her eyes.
"Curtain-Rolling, let us go to the Jade Pool." After a pause, Queen Mother of the West led the Curtain-Rolling General toward the Jade Pool.
When they arrived at the Jade Pool and saw the mess before them, both were stunned.
Although Queen Mother of the West had expected it, she had not imagined that Goku would be so thorough, clearing everything out and leaving the place in such ruins.
The Curtain-Rolling General could not believe it.
After waking the sleeping minor immortals and questioning them, they all said that Great Sage Equaling Heaven had come, after which they had unknowingly fallen asleep.
The Curtain-Rolling General stood there in a daze. He now understood that the Peach Banquet had been wrecked, and he also understood why Queen Mother of the West had delayed going to the Jade Pool—perhaps it had all been for this.
