The White Bone Lady was lightly tapping her fingers on the throne made of human bones, her slender fingernails creating a 'tap tap tap' sound that echoed through the cave.
After a while, the White Bone Lady suddenly laughed, "It seems that the monk is not only slow-witted but also a bleeding heart, a soft touch. He must not recognize that I am a monster and thinks the monkey killed a good person, hence his scolding. Great, great... this will be easy to handle!"
The Skeleton Earth Spirit asked with curiosity, "Lady, what shall we do next?"
The White Bone Lady smiled and said, "Simple! Just deepen the misunderstanding and get that monkey to scram!"
With that, the White Bone Lady beckoned and the corpse of an old lady hanging on the wall flew towards her. She possessed the old lady's withered body, which quickly filled out until it turned into a wrinkle-faced old crone, as if alive!
The White Bone Lady gave a slight smile to the skeletal old man and said, "Since the monk is so ignorant, let's have him 'die' a few more tis. I doubt he'll keep that stubborn monkey by his side for long!"
The Skeleton Earth Spirit laughed and said, "Lady, that's brilliant!"
The White Bone Lady chuckled, "This ti stay back and watch everything that happens. When you return, I want the details!"
The Skeleton Earth Spirit nodded repeatedly, indicating his agreent.
With that, the White Bone Lady transford into a gust of wind and left...
anwhile, Tang Sanzang and his companions, having eaten their fill, were back on their journey. As they walked, Sun Wukong, scouting ahead, saw an old woman coming towards them!
The old woman, in her eighties, leaned on a curved bamboo cane, her temples white as frost, walking slowly with unsteady steps, her figure frail as though a gust of wind could blow her over at any mont.
Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself, "That monster has co back, and she thinks I can't recognize her in the guise of an old crone? Humph, just watch ..."
In the midst of speaking, Sun Wukong was about to reach for his Jingu Bang and take action when suddenly, he shivered as if rembering sothing, and then turned around and ran back without looking back.
The old lady in the distance, of course, was the transford White Bone Lady. Seeing the monkey turn and run, the corners of her mouth curved up slightly, thinking to herself, "As expected, despite that bald one being unloveable, he too has a heart of a soft touch scaring the monkey from misbehaving. With this, my plan should be easy to execute."

The old woman chuckled to herself as she continued walking forwards...
On the other side, Sun Wukong dashed all the way, turning a corner to co in front of Tang Sanzang, excitedly calling out, "Master, master, the monster is back!"
Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang, who had been indifferently yawning on horseback, suddenly sat up and asked, "Really?"
Sun Wukong nodded firmly.
Tang Sanzang seed a little skeptical of the monkey, so he asked, "A man or a woman?"
Sun Wukong replied, "A woman!"
Tang Sanzang was imdiately overjoyed, "Ha ha ha... Alright, disciples, wait here for ! I will be right back!"
Having said that, Tang Sanzang rushed ahead alone...
Tang Sanzang sprinted and reached the corner in a few strides, turning around in a flash, instinctively saying, "Babe, let's...."
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw, standing before him, an elderly crone with a face covered in wrinkles and age spots more nurous than sesa seeds. The two were almost nose to nose, mouth to mouth!
Tang Sanzang could even sll the scent of leek buns coming from the other's mouth!
The White Bone Lady, not expecting her happiness to co so abruptly, bead with excitent and cried out, "Elder!"
Tang Sanzang also exclaid, "Oh my goodness!"
Boom!
A surge of Fist Power shot up to the sky, and a mushroom cloud followed, ascending heavenwards!
The entire White Tiger Ridge was trembling…
Dust rose in clouds, and wood chips flew everywhere…
For a mont, birds scattered in alarm, and animals cried in distress…
When the dust settled, a broad road cut through White Tiger Ridge, and a bald man, drenched in sweat, stood there. Looking at his fist, he said shakily, "Bloody hell, what the devil is this? Scared the crap out of …"
Seeing the commotion, Sun Wukong and the others hurried over, only to find a grand avenue running through the entirety of White Tiger Ridge.
Zhu Ganglie smacked his lips and said, "Wukong bro, take a lesson from this. Next ti, we'll clear roads like this. This is so much more walkable than the paths your staff flattens…"
Sun Wukong ignored him and instead leaned in to ask Tang Sanzang, "Master, that was just three seconds and you're done? But there's no need to be so hasty in killing the donkey once the grinding's done, right?"
Boom!
Another mushroom cloud rose into the sky!
Fist Power had pierced through a mountain to the east…
A monkey was hanging on the treetop of a large tree far away, swaying in the wind, complaining with a wronged face, "When I hit, he hits . When I don't hit, and let him hit , he still hits … It's clear his stamina's crap, and he can't last long but won't let others talk about it… That's just bullying the monkey too much!"
Then, a bald man suddenly appeared in front of the monkey and, clenching his throat with both hands, roared, "You call that a woman? Damn it, you scared the hell out of —my bones went all soft!"
Sun Wukong said with a wronged look, "But that really was a woman!"
Tang Sanzang roared back, "There are both young and old won, alright? Can't you tell the difference between a beautiful one and an ugly one?!"
Then Sun Wukong responded with a blank, hollow, uncomprehending stare.
Tang Sanzang looked at the monkey in front of him and said wearily, "Forget it, this might indeed be a bit too difficult for you…"
The disciples gathered again, and Tang Sanzang said, "Zhu Ganglie, you'll scout ahead from now on. If you encounter a female… nevermind, you better not go."
Tang Sanzang had intended to let Zhu Ganglie scout ahead, but then he thought about Zhu Ganglie's wife back in Gao Village, Gao Cuilan, and decisively abandoned the idea.
Zhu Ganglie, understanding Tang Sanzang's aning, huffed, "Master, don't look down on , Gao Cuilan is really quite pretty. It's just that my body seems to be cursed, anyti I want to get close to a woman, she becos big and round like a sow…"
Tang Sanzang was taken aback and said, "You have that kind of skill?"
Zhu Ganglie replied with a bitter smile, "I wish I didn't have such a skill… If she hadn't turned out like that, I would've had a litter of piglets by now, wouldn't I? Would I really have abstained for so many years? Those years, I was just looking for a cure…"
Tang Sanzang fell silent, then pointing forward, he said, "Fine, go ahead and scout the way. Just rember, leave the beautiful female demons for your master."
Zhu Ganglie gladly accepted the new assignnt and set off with joy. After all, the more useful he was, the further he was from the pot Sha Wujing had to carry on his back…
anwhile, the White Bone Lady's spirit dashed back to the White Bone Cave. She slumped onto the Bone Throne, pale as death, and cursed, "Damn that bald donkey… just as I thought… all monks are liars!
Big liars!
Even the monks of Mount ru are liars!
Shit. Weren't the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Mount ru said to be modest, amiable, polite, and kind? But what's the result?
The disciple of the Tathagata Buddha, after ten lifetis of cultivation, is such a debacle?
Eating at, chasing won, he gets up to all sorts of mischief, and the disciples he leads are even more hot-tempered, resorting to violence over the slightest disagreent—is that sothing humans do?"
The White Bone Lady, while cursing, began to cry…
