The Feast Begins

After a short while, everyone had arrived at the restaurant.

The king looked at Tang Xuanzang excitedly and said to Tang Xuanzang, "Now that everyone is here, let's prepare the meal quickly."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie was overjoyed and rushed to the king's side, startling him. Zhu Bajie exclaimed, "This food is only enough for one small meal! Hurry up and bring me more food!"

The king could only nod in agreement, Zhu Bajie, ignoring both the good and the bad, just ate to his heart's content.

After a short while, Zhu Bajie felt he hadn't had enough to eat, and then loudly said, "This bowl is too small, get me a bigger one."

Upon hearing this, the servants quickly replaced Zhu Bajie's bowl with a basin. Zhu Bajie was overjoyed and began stuffing food into his mouth.

After a short while, Tang Xuanzang slowly stood up and said, "The king has now eaten and drunk his fill. Please hurry up and ensure the passage is secure so that my disciple can leave early tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, the Queen quickly pulled Tang Xuanzang to the palace, then hastily offered him her seat. Tang Xuanzang this, immediately said:

"Absolutely not! The Grand Tutor said tomorrow is an auspicious day, which is why I dared to take this position. You should give them the official seal today and let them leave tomorrow. Only then will I feel at ease taking this position."

Upon hearing this, the Queen heeded Tang Xuanzang's advice, then sat on the throne and pulled up a golden chair for Tang Xuanzang to sit beside her.

He then instructed Tang Xuanzang's disciples to bring the travel permit. Sun Wukong untied the bundle, took out the travel permit, and presented it with both hands.

After receiving the travel document, the Queen saw the seals of all the countries in the city on it. After a short while, she looked at Tang Xuanzang Tang Xuanzang said to him:

"You've passed through so many cities to get here, yet you're from the Tang Dynasty. Why aren't your disciples from the Tang Dynasty?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang slowly said to the Queen, "My three disciples are all from heaven. My eldest disciple is from the Aolai Kingdom in the Eastern Lands Divine Continent, my second disciple is from West Ox Hezhou, and my third disciple is from the Flowing Sand River."

The Queen was immediately taken aback upon hearing this, and after a short while, she slowly regained her composure and said to Tang Xuanzang:

"How about I write down some Dharma names for the three of them on the back?"

After listening to this, Tang Xuanzang thought about it seriously for a long time before slowly nodding. Then the Queen took out a brush and slowly wrote the names of Sun Wukong Zhu Wuneng, and Sha Wujing on it.

After a short while, she took out the seal and carefully stamped it on. Sun Wukong was overjoyed to see this. A little while later, the queen took out some loose silver and handed it to Sun Wukong.

"Take this as your travel expenses. When you finish your journey to the Western Heaven and return, I will reward you handsomely."

Seeing this, Sun Wukong quickly shook his head and said to the Queen, "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? We monks don't accept this kind of money; there are places to beg along the way."

Seeing that Sun Wukong hadn't accepted the clothes for a while, the Queen took out some more and said to Sun Wukong, "I see that your clothes are all covered in wounds. I'll give you some clothes so you can keep warm on the road."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong shook his head again and continued to say to the Queen, "We will not wear these things, because they are too expensive. How could we monks wear such things?"

Seeing that Sun Wukong neither accepted the silver nor the money, the Queen pondered for a long time, then slowly turned her gaze to Zhu Bajie. After a short while, she continued:

"How about this? I'll give you some food now, so you can have some sustenance later."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie was overjoyed and quickly accepted it, placing it in his bundle.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong teased Zhu Bajie, saying, "You idiot, you always complain about how heavy the luggage is, how come you have the strength to carry all this food?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie laughed and said to Sun Wukong, "Brother Monkey, you don't know that this rice is digested slowly. The longer you eat it, the lighter you'll gradually become."

After a short while, Tang Xuanzang continued, "Your Majesty, please allow me to accompany them out of the city. I will give them a few words of advice so they can properly embark on their journey to the Western Heaven Paradise to obtain the scriptures."

The king, unaware that this was a scheme, slowly nodded, and then they left the city together.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were overjoyed. They went to the door and loudly proclaimed, "Your Majesty, you don't need to see us off any further. Let's part ways here."

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang quickly said to the king, "This humble monk has gone to the Western Heaven Paradise with them to obtain the scriptures. Please spare me."

The Queen of the Women's Kingdom was greatly alarmed upon hearing this. She quickly grabbed Tang Xuanzang's clothes and said to Tang Xuanzang:

"Brother, I'm willing to use all the money in the country to propose marriage to you. Tomorrow, this throne will be yours. Why have you suddenly changed your mind today?"

Before Tang Xuanzang could even speak, Zhu Bajie couldn't hold back any longer and angrily rebuked the Queen of the Women's Kingdom, "What kind of monks would marry this pink skeleton? Let us go at once!"

Upon hearing this, the Queen of the Women's Kingdom was greatly alarmed and felt extremely frightened, so she had no choice but to give up.

After Tang Xuanzang slowly mounted the White Dragon Horse, a short while later, a woman suddenly appeared by the roadside and loudly proclaimed:

"Brother Tang Xuanzang, where do you want to go? Why don't you come with me?"

Upon hearing this, Sha Wujing became extremely angry and immediately raised his weapon to strike the man.

That person then transformed into a whirlwind, abducted Tang Xuanzang, and vanished without a trace.

Upon seeing this, everyone felt extremely worried, because they didn't know whether the woman who had just kidnapped Tang Xuanzang was a demon.

At the same time, just as Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were about to use their Law Technique to freeze all the women, they suddenly heard a gust of wind and heard Sha Wujing making a fuss. They quickly turned their heads but suddenly could not see Tang Xuanzang.

Sun Wukong immediately asked Sha Wujing, "Who exactly kidnapped our master?"

After pondering this for a long time, Sha Wujing slowly said to Sun Wukong:

"A woman stirred up a gust of wind and abducted my master. I don't know if that woman is a demon or not."

Upon hearing Sha Wujing's words, Sun Wukong Sha Wujing quickly said to him, "Since she's gone to such lengths, do you think she's a demon? Let's hurry and come with us to save Master!"
