Hundred Flowers Shame and the Yellow-Robed Monster sat in their room, both silent.
The Yellow-Robed Monster was furious, but he had nowhere to vent the anger in his heart.
It was his own wife who had let Xuanzang and Tianpeng go. He was angry, yet could not bear to be angry with his wife. He loved Hundred Flowers Shame dearly, had never made her unhappy, and had always indulged her every wish.
Even after Hundred Flowers Shame had done such a thing, he still found it difficult to vent his rage on her.
"Husband, hit me or scold me if you must. If it can ease your anger... I know you captured Master Xuanzang for our immortality, so that we could remain together forever. But I do not wish to gain immortality this way, nor do I want you to suffer heavenly punishment after killing Master Xuanzang."
Hundred Flowers Shame walked before the Yellow-Robed Monster and knelt down.
The Yellow-Robed Monster hurriedly rose and helped his wife up. "My wife, what are you doing?"
He helped Hundred Flowers Shame into a chair, then let out a heavy sigh. "My wife, I know you are kind-hearted, and I know you did this for my sake. Since Xuanzang and the others have escaped, then let them go."
Yet the Yellow-Robed Monster remained worried. Yuanshi Tianzun had ordered him to do this, and now that Xuanzang and the others had escaped, he did not know whether Yuanshi Tianzun and the others would come after him.
He was not afraid of them attacking him. What he feared was for his wife and children. If they faced any danger, he would never be able to rest easy.
"Husband, I know there must have been some other reason why you captured Master Xuanzang and the others.
