Tang Sanzang suddenly felt that the queen was sowhat pitiable, and his expression softened along with his feelings, as he scratched his bald head and said, "Actually, it’s not that I look down on you."
The queen’s body trembled, and she turned to look at him, "Then why won’t you marry ?"
Tang Sanzang said, "Umm… how should I put it. In the outside world, it’s a male-dominated world, where only n marry won. If a man marries into a woman’s family, that’s called ’méngha’ and it’s very shaful. I may not care much for face, but after all, I still need to keep a tiny bit of it…"
Having said that, Tang Sanzang suddenly asked a question, "Do you really like ? I an, besides physically." Discover stories with empire
The queen was stumped by that question.
Then the two of them continued to lock gazes.
After a long while, they both sat on the roof together, looking up at the starry sky…
"I don’t know whether I like you or not, but when I see you, my heart flutters." The queen paused before continuing, "Actually, I don’t even know what like, or rather, love is. After all, there have never been any n here, so there’s no such thing as romantic love. Do you know what love is?"
Tang Sanzang shook his head, "I’ve heard of it, but I don’t understand. In the era I lived, people were quite straightforward. If I fancied your body, I would use whatever ans necessary to get it. That includes sneak attacks and carrying you off by force."
"Have you ever sneak-attacked or carried soone off?" the queen asked.
Tang Sanzang looked blankly at the sky, "I can’t rember…"
"Can’t rember?" The queen was astonished.
Tang Sanzang said, "I only rember falling into the River of Ti, then fighting an old fool for a long ti. He got all his facial hair plucked by , and he cut my past with a strike, making forget a lot of things. Maybe I’ve carried soone off, maybe I’ve had true love, maybe… who knows."
The queen looked at the distressed and uncomfortable Tang Sanzang, and patted his shoulder with pity, "You’re also a pitiable person."
But Tang Sanzang shook his head, "It’s not about being pitiable, if you can’t rember, then there’s no past, and without a past, you don’t know where to find sorrow. Moreover, I’m quite happy now… What about you? Are you happy?"
After thinking for a long ti, the queen shook her head, "I don’t know, I beca queen at a very young age, and then I just kept going on this path. The only trouble was the True Immortal Ruyi, which you have now solved for …"
Suddenly, the queen looked at Tang Sanzang, "Don’t you have any wishes?"
Tang Sanzang thought for a while and then clapped his hands, "I do!"
"What wish? Tell about it," the queen asked.
Tang Sanzang said, "I want you to have !"
Queen: "@#￥..."
"But you won’t marry ," the queen persisted.
Tang Sanzang said, "Why can’t you marry ?"
The queen shook her head, "That doesn’t fit the state system. You’re a monk, can’t you be more open-minded?"
Tang Sanzang shook his head, "What about being a monk? Does a monk not need face? Besides, I’m not a monk."
The queen was shocked, "You’re not a monk?"
Tang Sanzang laid his cards on the table, "Umm… my na is similar to that of Tang Sanzang from the Journey to the West, but since I’m idle anyway, I might as well go on a pilgrimage."
The queen was instantly dumbfounded, just because the nas were similar and he had nothing better to do, he was going to go to the Western Heaven to retrieve the scriptures?
"Do you know that this is equivalent to deceiving the Western Heaven for scriptures? What if the Buddha found out…" the queen asked with concern.
Tang Sanzang nonchalantly said, "So what if he finds out? If he cooperates, he’ll give the scriptures; if not, I’ll just take them by force."
"So just rob them? You think Mount ru is like my Won’s Country? There are Arhats, Bodhisattvas, Buddhas up there! Mount ru is known as the number one great sect in the mortal world, and you still want to rob it?" the queen shrieked.
Tang Sanzang said casually, "Rob them then, what’s so great about that, why are you screaming so loudly?"
The queen grimaced, a strange smile on her face, "I... why am I screaming so loudly? It’s Mount ru, Mount ru! Do you understand?"
As a result, Tang Sanzang gave her a dazed and cute expression.
The queen rubbed her temples, pacing in circles, "No way, you can’t go on a journey to the Western Heaven anymore, it’s too dangerous. Just marry and settle down."
Tang Sanzang objected imdiately upon hearing this, "Whether I go on the journey is not important, but marrying you is out of the question."
The queen said angrily, "Can’t you just indulge a little?"
Tang Sanzang retorted, "Can’t you indulge a little?"
The queen continued to roar, "Do you think marriage is that simple? If I marry you, whose surna will our children take?"
Tang Sanzang said as if it were the most natural thing in the world, "Of course, they’ll take mine!"
The queen said, "Then won’t my family line be cut off? If I marry you, do I have to bring the entire Won’s Country as a dowry?"
Tang Sanzang said, "If worse cos to worst, I’ll just marry all the girls from the Won’s Country, wouldn’t that solve the problem?"
The queen glared at Tang Sanzang as if looking at an idiot, opened her mouth several tis but was too exasperated to speak.
Tang Sanzang said, "See, you have nothing to say, right? Shall we just settle it this way?"
"Settle your sister’s husband! Sobody toss him out for !"
Finally having had enough of this stubborn baldie, the queen ordered people to carry Tang Sanzang out and throw him out of the west city gate overnight.
Outside the city gate, Tang Sanzang looked up to the sky and sighed, "In the end, it’s still just bearing all..."
Beside him, Zhu Ganglie, Sun Wukong, and the others were speechless, but upon reflection, aside from Zhu Ganglie, it seed that no one else would accept being married into another family. So, in the end, it was sowhat reasonable that things didn’t work out...
Zhu Ganglie asked wistfully, "Master, we just got thrown out like this, told to get lost? Won’t you try again?"
Tang Sanzang humphed, his gaze full of reluctance, but in the end, he climbed on the White Dragon Horse and pointed towards the west, "Let’s go!"
Zhu Ganglie, not giving up, said, "Master, why not just lower your head and marry... Then your disciples can also benefit, each taking three wives and four concubines. If not, I’m willing to co with you as part of the dowry."
"Wujing, how’s the beef stew coming along? How about so mixed pork and beef stew?"
Zhu Ganglie imdiately changed his tune, "Master, I’ll lead the horse for you... I think you made the right choice, how could a real man marry soone? Marriage ans only one wife, but you can take several. We can’t give up the forest for one tree, it’s too much of a loss."
"Wujing, your master desires peace."
"Got it!" Sha Wujing imdiately pulled out a pork-killing knife and held it to Zhu Ganglie’s neck.
Zhu Ganglie quickly raised his hands, "Brother Sha, how do you still have a pork-killing knife? Didn’t I confiscate them all?"
Sha Wujing smiled honestly, "As a chef, you always keep sothing up your sleeve, after all, you never know when the master will crave so pork dishes."
Zhu Ganglie, "@#￥%..."
And so, the group embarked once again on their journey westward.
Although Tang Sanzang claid not to care, he couldn’t help looking back every ten steps...
