Chapter 449 - 416: Fake Princess and Zhu Bajie
Seeing Sun Wukong actually turn around to leave, Xuanzang and the others couldn’t help but feel anxious.
Xuanzang spoke in a low voice, "Are we really just going to leave like this?"
Sun Wukong glanced at Xuanzang, then looked at Zhu Bajie not far away who had transformed into Xuanzang, and said with a smile, "There’s no need to worry, Master. After all, staying here to be the Prince Consort is not like getting your head chopped off. Let him enjoy the wealth and honor here. We’ll fulfill his responsibility of seeking the True Scriptures for him!"
Zhu Bajie had already guessed what Sun Wukong intended to do, so he wasn’t feeling sad at all. After making faces at Sun Wukong for a while, he then said, "I was supposed to accompany you to Mount Meru to meet the Buddha Ancestor and seek the True Scriptures."
"But fate has brought me to the Princess, and such destiny cannot be blocked. Although I will miss you all, the task of seeking Scriptures cannot be delayed. You should set off soon! I will surely pray day and night for you, hoping you’ll reach Mount Meru soon and obtain the True Scriptures."
Sun Wukong waved his hands and said with a smile, "Don’t worry about us, Master. We aren’t far from Mount Meru. I believe it won’t be long before we can return with the Scriptures. With that, we shall take our leave."
Sun Wukong, seeing Xuanzang still appeared to be worried as he looked at Zhu Bajie, grabbed Xuanzang’s arm and said with a chuckle, "Bajie, I know you’re reluctant to leave your master, but your master is a Prince Consort now, which is much better than when he was a Monk. What’s there to worry about? Let’s hurry on our way and not delay the important matter of seeking Scriptures."
With that, he started to lead Xuanzang out of the hall.
The Sand Monk also took one more glance at Zhu Bajie and followed them out.
