"I don't care who you are. Since you committed a crime and ended up here, you'll work and behave yourself. If you don't, don't blame my whip for showing no mercy. Work well, and you may still get your sentence reduced. With that wild, unruly streak of yours, this is for your own good!"

Randeng sighed. "Yes. Precisely because the Vine Dao Venerable always speaks that way, he wasn't at fault. But Wukong is ignorant and quick to anger, which led to this outcome!"
