"Great Sage, I already thought of that. I installed sound collectors nearby, too. Shouting anything won't help," the Yellow Wind Monster answered immediately.
"Damn, you're even more ruthless than I thought. Looks like we'll have to actually blow up Mount Sumeru to alert Lingji and the others."
Sun Wukong was surprised again. He hadn't expected the Yellow Wind Monster to have thought of even this.
"Yes. If we go that route, I'll detonate the time bombs directly. That'll certainly give Lingji and the others a great big surprise." The Yellow Wind Monster had clearly considered that, too.
The group chat went completely dead. Once again, the monsters had nothing to say.
Just how thoroughly had this Yellow Wind Monster planned everything?

Sun Wukong paid it no mind and simply stayed out the entire night, only returning to Old Mother of Mount Li's cave abode the next day.
"Sun Wukong, wonderful! Did you borrow Lingji Bodhisattva's Wind-Settling Pearl? I'm completely healed now. The Empress's sacred medicine was simply miraculous. I even feel like my eyes are much sharper than before!"
Zhu Bajie was the first to rush out of the cave abode, looking expectantly at Sun Wukong.
Old Mother of Mount Li, the Five-Direction Guardians, and the others came out in turn.

Sun Wukong spread his hands. They were empty.
"Empress, are you playing me?"
"What? Protector of the Imperial Horses, you're utterly useless! Not only did you fail to borrow the Wind-Settling Pearl, you couldn't even find Lingji Bodhisattva's dao field? Are you blind,
