"Hehe, so Her Majesty the Queen came in person. This old Sun thanks Your Majesty for your timely aid. Had I known, why bother fighting that Imperial Preceptor?"
Sun Wukong cupped his hands, though his sharp gaze scrutinized the queen, trying to see through the truth concealed beneath her intensely yin aura.
The queen was not surprised by Sun Wukong's appearance and merely nodded. "You monkey know no restraint. If you had destroyed my palace, I would have made you pay compensation."
"The Holy Monk has yet to fully recover and still requires my continued treatment. There is no time to lose. Come with me into the palace."
Having said that, she did not wait to see whether Tang Sanzang and the others agreed before turning and leaving.
The group thus surrounded Tang Sanzang and followed the queen's royal carriage deep into the palace, entering an elegantly furnished yet bone-chilling quiet chamber.
The yin energy here was even denser, but for Tang Sanzang in his current state, it instead became the ideal place to heal his injuries.
The queen dismissed everyone else, leaving only the master and disciples inside. She once again circulated her power, using pure yin energy as a guide to help Tang Sanzang harmonize his Yin-Yang energies.
During the process, their auras inevitably intertwined, and a subtle feeling of affection silently began to grow.
Tang Sanzang looked at the queen's focused, coldly beautiful profile, and the strange feeling in his heart grew ever stronger. Whenever the queen happened to meet his gaze, there was slightly less frost in her eyes and a few more ripples that could not be put into words.
Sun Wukong stood guard nearby and saw it all clearly. Master's love tribulation has truly arrived. But is this queen an enemy or an ally?
