Chapter 369 - 370: Why Not Let Old Sun Kill Him
Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, Zhu Bajie couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious as well. After all, Sun Wukong appeared quite worried about Xuanzang and now he was actually urging the monster to eat Xuanzang.
Zhu Bajie quickly understood that Sun Wukong was probably worried that the Golden-Winged Roc would use Xuanzang as a bargaining chip.
If they showed that they valued Xuanzang greatly, the Golden-Winged Roc would surely make exorbitant demands, taking advantage to assert many impudent requests; thus, without even starting a fight, they would already be at a disadvantage.
Realizing this, Zhu Bajie plopped down onto a cloud.
Then, with a nonchalant face, he said, "Old Pig has long wanted to return to Gao Laozhuang. This monk is rather a burden; you should hurry up and eat him!"
"Then Old Pig wouldn’t have to go through all this trouble of seeking scriptures in the Western Heaven. After that, I can enjoy a carefree life!"
With a pitiable look, Zhu Bajie said to Sun Wukong, "Brother Monkey, when they give you Xuanzang’s flesh later, could you share a piece with Old Pig to taste the freshness?"
"Of course you can, but I fear they won’t be willing to share with us!" Sun Wukong also glanced at Zhu Bajie, their understanding unspoken.
"If they don’t give it to us, we’ll just take it. After all, they can’t beat us. We could even take care of that big bird in the process—Xuanzang’s scant flesh won’t be enough to go around for us."
Sun Wukong couldn’t help but say with a smile.
"That’s a good suggestion!"
