Chapter 1382 - 934: First Glimpse of the Vast and Wide Tongtian River, Koi Spirit Makes a Delicious and Fresh Soup
Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong spent three days eating hot pot in the Golden Palace, and finally, Chechi Country gave a response. Since the King had no heir, a cousin of his took up the kingship. Not only did they issue Duanmu Huai a travel permit, they also wrote a letter expressing Chechi Country’s submission to the Tang Dynasty...
As for how the Tang Dynasty would respond, that was Li Shimin’s business. Duanmu Huai didn’t bother with that; having received the travel permit, he hit the road again. This time Chechi Country dared not play any tricks, escorting them with soldiers all the way to the border before sighing in relief.
They didn’t dare let these two "grandfathers-in-law" come back again.
Having left Chechi Country, Duanmu Huai wasn’t too happy. Seeing Duanmu Huai’s mood, Sun Wukong was curious.
"Master, they cordially escorted us out. Why aren’t you happy?"
"Ah, I just think about the next country we are going to, and I get a headache."
Saying that, Duanmu Huai heaved a silent sigh.
The reason was simple, after Chechi Country was the Women’s Kingdom! Duanmu Huai wasn’t afraid of being detained like Monk Tang, as the Women’s Kingdom Queen was obviously a lover of looks, she’d probably have no interest in him. But just thinking about going to a country full of women gave Duanmu Huai quite the headache. One woman is equivalent to five hundred ducks, so by that reckoning, the Women’s Kingdom was a source of noise pollution.
Duanmu Huai still remembered watching TV dramas back in the day, when Monk Tang and his party entered the Women’s Kingdom and were surrounded and gossiped about by a crowd of women on the streets, the noise was overwhelming... If he really had to go through that now, he’d probably be fed up.
Still, as long as the Queen of the Women’s Kingdom didn’t bother him and quickly issued the travel permit, that would be fine.
While Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong were on their way, an old man was spotted resting against a tree ahead. Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong gave him a glance, saw he wasn’t a demon, and didn’t pay him much attention. But hearing the sound of hoofbeats, the old man opened his eyes, glanced at the two of them, and stared in astonishment upon seeing Duanmu Huai. He quickly scrambled to his feet and approached Duanmu Huai.
