Chapter 448 - 415: They’re Trying to Drive Us Away_2
Sun Wukong saw that Xuanzang still wore a worried expression and smiled, saying, "Master, you worry too much. Although the Monster is formidable, Zhu Bajie is no ordinary person. If she wants to absorb Bajie’s Yang Essence, would Bajie just compliantly let her do that?"
"Besides, the Monster’s real target is you. Once the fight starts, the Monster will naturally realize that Bajie is an impostor. Absorbing Bajie’s Yang Essence would bring no benefits to the Monster, and moreover, Bajie would not just let her do it. Therefore, the Monster naturally wouldn’t risk forcibly absorbing Bajie’s Yang Essence."
"Rather, it’s us who can take advantage of this opportunity to subdue the Monster once and for all so it would stop harming people here."
Sun Wukong paused, then continued, "Alright, rest assured! If Bajie truly encounters any danger, we would definitely not stand by and watch."
Reassured by Sun Wukong’s words, Xuanzang finally relaxed. With the Princess’s grand wedding only a few days away, the Imperial Palace also started to become busier, as the Emperor’s only daughter’s marriage was a major event.
Not only within the Imperial Palace but also outside, the Prince Consort’s Mansion was working overtime day and night to prepare for the Princess’s grand wedding.
This Prince Consort’s Mansion was originally an estate the Emperor used when he was the Crown Prince. Now, it had been granted to the Prince Consort and the Princess as their mansion, which showed how much the Emperor doted on the Prince Consort.
In these days, Xuanzang and his companions had been living inside the palace, with people specially taking care of their meals. When they had nothing to do, they would leisurely stroll around the Emperor’s Imperial Flower Garden, enjoying their days leisurely and carefree.
However, one thing was causing Xuanzang a great deal of concern. Initially, he had planned to meet with Zhu Bajie to remind him to be careful, but he was turned back. The imperial guards of the palace simply wouldn’t allow them to see Zhu Bajie, saying that the Prince Consort was preparing for the grand wedding and had many matters to attend to, preferring not to be disturbed.
Unable to see Zhu Bajie, Xuanzang naturally became very worried, so he turned to Sun Wukong and Sand Monk, imploring them to find out about Zhu Bajie’s situation.
Sun Wukong said with a laugh, "That blockhead is probably indulging in pleasures somewhere right now; why worry about him?"
