Journey to the West: Break the entire Western Heaven!

Atop the city wall, the queen watched Tang Sanzang's figure from afar. Shangguan Ling spoke softly at her side, "Your Majesty, it's not too late to stop them now. If they leave, I fear no man will ever come to our Women's Country again... You might have some regrets for the rest of your life."

The queen shook her head and took out a book from her bosom, which read—"The True Scriptures of Wishes".

"What is this?" Shangguan Ling, herself a cultivator, cried out in astonishment, "Is this the Cultivation Method of the True Immortal of Wishes?"

The queen nodded, speaking earnestly and seriously, "It fell when he died. Tang Sanzang's strength is unfathomably deep, it's true that as a queen wanting to marry him, I fall short by far. Starting today, you will teach me cultivation, and when the day comes that I surpass him, I will pin him down on the bed, and have him loyally be my bride! Quietly staying home to look after the children!"

Shangguan Ling managed a bitter smile at those words.

Having grown up in Xiliang Country, the queen had hardly any contact with cultivators—she didn't understand the affairs of the cultivation world at all.

In her eyes, Shangguan Ling might represent the cultivators, and being able to travel a thousand miles a day and control fire and water was the limit.

What she didn't know was that the goal of cultivators is to become immortals, and Tang Sanzang's power had already far surpassed that of ordinary immortals.

Others Shangguan Ling might not know, but she had heard of the Great Bull Demon King, one of the Seven Great Saints of the Demon Race, with formidable strength. In Western Niu Hezhou, he was considered the leader among demons, with a stance that could rival Buddhism itself.

Yet, such a powerful demon saint was turned into a pot of delicious meat by that bald man. Discover more content at empire

The gap between the queen and that bald man, isn't it more than 108,000 miles?

Moreover, even if Shangguan Ling only had the "True Scriptures of Wishes", a Cultivation Method from the True Immortal of Wishes, who was far inferior to the bald man, how could she hope to surpass him?

However, Shangguan Ling didn't wish to dampen the queen's enthusiasm. She could see that the queen was indeed moved.

Sometimes, it is good to have some hope.

So Shangguan Ling said, "Your Majesty, Tang Sanzang looks back at every ten steps, it shows he truly can't bear to leave you. Won't you reconsider holding onto him?"

The queen shook her head slightly, "I have made up my mind!"

Shangguan Ling sighed in resignation and lamented inwardly, "This is really a case of two stubborn donkeys clashing heads…"

But what Shangguan Ling didn't know was that Tang Sanzang's reason for looking back was not because he couldn't bear to leave Her Majesty, but...

"What a good patch of woods... Not a single leaf was picked, not a single disrobing woman was seen, instead, it was I who ended up stripped and seen by many, a total loss, such a great loss!" Tang Sanzang sighed deeply.

Sun Wukong laughed, "Master, there's no need to hide your feelings with such words. If you can't bear to part with that queen, just say it straight. Why pretend to care about the forest while you only have eyes for the queen..."

Tang Sanzang gave him a sidelong glance, "Get on with the scouting, what's with all this nonsense!"

Sun Wukong didn't move ahead, but continued, "Master, with your strength, you could have easily taken what you wanted by force. It's clear the queen likes you too, it's just that royal dignity prevents her from marrying you. But if you were to overpower her, she would be able to gracefully accept it."

Tang Sanzang shot him another glance, "What do you monkeys know about love? This monk's fists are not for striking my own women. When she has passed a hundred years, and it's time for her to be reincarnated, I'll go find her then. Surely she won't still be the queen by then, right? By that time, won't she still have to marry me? Yours truly is immortal, I can wait!"

Everyone fell silent...

As everyone stood stunned, a strange laughter came from the side, "Royal Brother Tang, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

With those words, a whirlwind blew across.

It swept away Tang Sanzang, leaving several disciples standing there, dumbfounded.

Sha Wujing said, "Big brother, Master has been captured by a demon again. It seems to be a female demon this time."

Zhu Ganglie said, "Elder brother, we..."

Sun Wukong replied, "Master just parted ways, feeling downhearted. Since it's a female demon who has come, let's just let him relax..."

Upon hearing this, everyone thought it made sense, so they followed the direction of the howling wind without intending to pursue deeply.

To the west of the country of women in Xiliang, there was a large mountain, with peaks resembling a giant scorpion, its body black tinged with green and shrouded in an ominous aura.

The mountain was called Poison Enemy Mountain and atop it was a cave dwelling named Pi Pa Cave.

At this moment, on the throne inside Pi Pa Cave, sat a female demon dressed in black with snow-white skin, slender thighs, and a svelte waist.

At the demoness's feet stood several colorfully dressed female demons, who appeared very merry at this moment, singing and dancing lively.

"A marvel indeed, our queen -- with but a single move, you captured Tang Sanzang. My queen, it's said that by eating a bite of Tang Sanzang's flesh, one can live forever..." Before the little demon could finish speaking,

The demoness Scorpion Spirit's eyebrows knitted and, with a raise of her hand, delivered a slap!

Smack!

The little demon was flung away, its soul scattered on the spot.

Frightened, the other little demons trembled and dared not dance anymore.

It was then the Scorpion Spirit spoke, "You know nothing! My strength reaches the mysteries of the universe; immortality is but a matter of time for me, what need have I to eat his flesh?"

The demons were puzzled. If she did not want to eat his flesh, why bother capturing Tang Sanzang?

The Scorpion Spirit clapped her hands and said, "Where are the buns you were steaming?"

"Your Majesty, the buns are ready," a female demon came forward carrying two plates and explained, "Your Majesty, here we have one with meat filling, the other with sweet bean paste. I thought, since Tang Sanzang is a monk, if he doesn't eat meat, he should at least eat the vegetarian ones, right?"

The Scorpion Spirit nodded in satisfaction and said, "You've thought this out thoroughly; you've done well."

Then she turned her gaze to Tang Sanzang, sitting in a corner lost in thought, and said, "Young Master Tang, don't be afraid, I didn't bring you here to eat you."

Tang Sanzang, still not over the parting, wasn't in good spirits at the moment.

Hearing her, he just uttered a nonchalant "Oh" and gave no further response.

The Scorpion Spirit frowned and said, "Young Master Tang, you've had a hard journey westwards. Why don't you eat some buns to fill your stomach?"

Tang Sanzang shot her a glance and said, "I won't eat, not hungry."

The Scorpion Spirit's frown deepened, "Young Master Tang, I know what you're thinking. Could it be you're still pining for the queen of Xiliang Country? She's the queen of Xiliang Country; I'm the queen of Poison Enemy Mountain – both queens. Surely, I'm not inferior to her? She doesn't want you, but I do!"

Feeling despondent, Tang Sanzang lazily said, "I want to sleep."

"Prepare the bed!"

With a wave of her hand, the Scorpion Spirit ordered the little demons to scamper deeper into the cave to arrange a bridal chamber.

"Attend to Young Master Tang, I'll be back shortly!"

After she finished speaking, the Scorpion Spirit grabbed her three-pronged steel fork and left.
