The main thing was that the price Lin Tian had named fell just within Guanyin's means.
In fact, Guanyin only had a little over a hundred million Spirit Stones on hand.
After some thought, Guanyin gritted her teeth and said, "Fine, I agree. But I hope you won't use this matter to find fault with us again!"
Lin Tian immediately clapped his hands. "Hey, my reputation as the Holy Infant King has spread throughout the Three Realms. No one has ever accused me of breaking my word!"
"Take them! Give the Tang Monk back!"
Guanyin promptly tossed out a bag of Spirit Stones, exactly a hundred million.
"Ha! Money paid, goods delivered. Great Sage, release him!"
Shang Yang gave a helpless, wry smile. "The Tang Monk is in the cave. Just go and fetch him!"
"Hey, Bai Jingjing, come with me, or you might just get yourself killed! Besides, with ten million Spirit Stones in your pocket, you probably won't even be able to sleep. Come to Spirit Vine City with me!"
"Oh, yes, I'll do as you say, Dao Venerable!" The White Bone Demon hurriedly nodded in agreement.
With everything settled, Lin Tian, Shang Yang, and Bai Jingjing abandoned White Bone Cave and flew off toward Spirit Vine City!
After the three left, Sun Wukong suddenly felt lost and helpless. Leaning on his Golden-Banded Staff, he began to wail.
"Wukong, what's the matter?" Guanyin hurriedly tried to comfort him.
"Ah, boo-hoo... I'm the Great Sage Equal to Heaven! I thought fetching the scriptures would be as easy as reaching out my hand, but now I can't even beat a single demon. I'm so use-
"-less!"
The grief in Sun Wukong's voice was beyond description, and so was the anguish of his sobbing.
At the sight, Guanyin's heart lurched.
