Unasked-for Favors
After saying this, Sun Wukong paused for a moment and then continued speaking to Tang Xuanzang:
"Master, you must remember to give him this red peach, because that's me in disguise."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang snorted coldly and said to Sun Wukong, "If you really have that kind of ability, you should just fight her directly. Why did you have to crawl into her stomach?"
After saying this, Sun Wukong immediately felt a little unconvinced and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"Master, you really don't understand. It's easy for her to enter and exit this cave, so I can fight her. But it's difficult to make a move if it's hard to get in and out. What if her whole family, young and old, captures me?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang could only nod and then said, "How about this, you should stick close to me."
Sun Wukong nodded upon hearing this, though Tang Xuanzang couldn't see it. Thus, Sun Wukong and Tang Xuanzang made their agreement. Then, Tang Xuanzang slowly stood up, leaning on the box beside him, and loudly proclaimed:
"My wife, where are you?"
The demon, hearing this, ran over to Tang Xuanzang a grin, took Tang Xuanzang hand, and said:
"I wonder what you want from me?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang smiled and said to the demon, "Since leaving Chang'an, I've been looking at mountains and rivers every day. Last night, I stayed at a temple."
"I caught a cold and I'm feeling a bit better now. I've been sitting here for a little while, but I'm feeling really unhappy. I was thinking of having you come with me for a walk. What do you think?"
The demon was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly said to Tang Xuanzang, "That's good too. If you'd like to go for a walk, I can accompany you."
After speaking, the fairy turned to her subordinates and said, "Hurry up and bring me the key so I can take Brother Xuanzang out for a walk to clear his head."
Upon hearing this, all the demons rushed over to open the door and tidy up. The demon pushed open the door and, with many of the lesser demons behind Tang Xuanzang, their hair slicked back and powdered, accompanied Tang Xuanzang to the garden.
After walking for a while, the fairy came to Tang Xuanzang 'Tang Xuanzang side and whispered in his ear, "Brother Xuanzang, play here for a while; it can help you relax and relieve your boredom."
Tang Xuanzang and the demon walked hand in hand into the garden. When they arrived, they looked up and realized that this was truly a wonderful place.
There were countless Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs and rare herbs, and the mountain landscape was endlessly fascinating. We arrived at many pavilions and felt as if we had entered Immortal Realm. Suddenly, we looked up and found ourselves in the Peach Blossom Garden. Sun Wukong tugged at Tang Xuanzang's head, and Tang Xuanzang immediately knew what was going on.
So Sun Wukong went to the peach tree branch, transformed himself into a red peach, which was truly lovely. Tang Xuanzang said to the demon:
"Look at the fragrant flowers and fruit trees in this garden, but why are the fruits on this peach tree all different colors?"
Upon hearing this, the demon smiled and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"You don't know this, but before this, the world was dark, and the sun and moon were obscured, which is why no plants grew here, and the fruit on the trees is also related to the sun."
"If the sun shines, it will turn red; if the sun doesn't shine, it will turn blue. This is the principle of yin and yang."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang immediately said to the demon, "Thank you for your explanation, madam. Please forgive my ignorance!"
After speaking, he reached out and picked a red peach, while the demon picked a green peach. Tang Xuanzang gave the red peach to the demon and said to him:
"Madam, this is the color of your skin. You eat the red peach and give me the green one."
The fairy truly did exchange places with Tang Xuanzang, and she smiled happily to herself, "This monk is really too good; they've only been husband and wife for a day, yet they're so affectionate."
After thinking it over, Tang Xuanzang happily took the red peach and ate the green peach directly. When the fairy opened her mouth to bite the red peach, an accident suddenly occurred.
It turned out that Sun Wukong, being impatient, immediately entered the monster's stomach. The monster, terrified, said to Tang Xuanzang, "This peach is so powerful, how come it rolled away before I could even bite into it?"
Tang Xuanzang explained to the demon, "The fruit that grows must be incredibly fresh and tender, so we just eat it quickly."
However, the fairy asked Tang Xuanzang in confusion, "I haven't even spat out all the fruit pits yet, and they've already gone down. What should I do?"
Just then, Sun Wukong revealed his true form inside the monster's stomach and shouted, "Master, you don't need to waste your breath on that monster. I've succeeded!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang smiled and said, "Disciple, now that you've succeeded, please hurry up."
Upon hearing this, the fairy looked at Tang Xuanzang with a puzzled expression and said, "Who are you talking to? I don't understand."
After speaking, Tang Xuanzang smiled and said to the demon, "I'm talking to my disciple Sun Wukong; you don't need to understand."
Just then, the demon suddenly panicked and immediately asked Tang Xuanzang, "Where is Sun Wukong right now?"
However, Tang Xuanzang smiled and said, "Actually, Sun Wukong is inside your stomach. The red peach you just ate was him in disguise."
Upon hearing this, the demon panicked instantly and immediately hugged Tang Xuanzang, saying, "I never thought that we would have to part again after just meeting today. I wonder when we will meet again."
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong feared that Tang Xuanzang had abandoned the people's hearts and had been deceived by him again. So he swung his fists and feet, beating the demon until it was in unbearable pain and fell to the ground. Sun Wukong did not hear the demon speak for a long time, so he assumed it was dead and rested.
After a short while, the monster suddenly said, "Where are you all, my minions?"
Upon hearing this, the little demons immediately ran in. They had been playing around picking flowers and grass, letting the demon and Tang Xuanzang continue their romance there.
Hearing the fairy's cries, everyone rushed over. They found the fairy lying on the ground, pale and weak, panting heavily, motionless. They quickly helped her up and sat her in a chair, saying:
"Madam, what's wrong with you? Are you heartbroken because you can't have what you want?"
Upon hearing this, the fairy quickly waved her hand and said, "Actually, that's not true at all. Don't ask any more questions now. There's someone inside me right now. Quickly send this monk out and spare my life."
After saying this, the lesser demons actually picked up Tang Xuanzang and carried him on their backs. However, Sun Wukong shouted from inside his stomach, "Let's see who dares to carry my master and make him walk on his own, and I'll spare your life!"
The demon had no choice but to cherish his own life. He struggled to his feet, picked up Tang Xuanzang, and started walking forward.
