Nezha extended his hand as a gesture, and Jin Ling Saint Mother, who knew how to gracefully accept defeat, placed her hand onto Nezha's, filling Nezha's heart with joy.

It wasn't easy, truly not easy!

Nezha wrapped his arm around Jin Ling's waist, and Jin Ling leaned directly against Nezha, experiencing a feeling she hadn't felt in millions of years.

...

On the other side, Golden Light Saint Mother accompanied Zhu Bajie to the Kingdom of Baoxiang. The Yellow Robe Demon, of Jie Sect origin, did not think much of the Human Clan, but he was a man of loyalty, considering his wife and father-in-law as family. During this time, he merely indulged in drinking and merrymaking in the Kingdom of Baoxiang without any excessive actions.

As Bajie brought Golden Light Saint Mother along, Yellow Robe Demon immediately came out to greet her. Not only was Golden Light Saint Mother's cultivation deeper than his, but also as Emperor Ziwei's secretary, she handled all sizes of affairs, garnering significant respect from him.

"Junior Brother Li Xiong greets Senior Sister Golden Light."

Others were somewhat puzzled—how did bringing Bajie to find reinforcements end up with the sister from the demon's sect being brought here?

Yet, they dared not ask much, seeing Yellow Robe Demon also paying respects.

"King (Queen, Princess) of the Kingdom of Baoxiang greets the Immortal."

Princess Baihua looked up at the radiant and respected Golden Light Saint Mother, her heart full of admiration. Is this the demeanor of the Immortals? Although she was a princess, she had to spend her days in the company of a demon—what kind of life was this?

Golden Light Saint Mother nodded and said, "Junior Brother, the Emperor already knows your situation, come with me to the heavens to be punished."

Li Xiong pursed his lips, looking at Baihua. He still believed he and Baihua were truly in love.

He then kowtowed loudly, saying, "Senior Sister, the Princess and I are truly in love. We had already pledged our lives when we were in the heavens. Senior Sister, for the sake of this devotion, let me stay in the Mortal World!"

"I am willing to face celestial punishment after spending my life with her!"

The one most unable to accept these words was Baihua. How could she have privately pledged herself to a demon?

Golden Light shook her head directly, thinking, Jie Sect Disciples are just like this. Sometimes they are so stubborn, this Junior Brother hasn't realized that the maid approaching him back then was simply after resources.

True love?

He's a thousand-year-old demon, where's so much true love?

Golden Light didn't deny her Junior Brother, but said, "I do have some influence with the Emperor. If what you say is true, I will indeed help."

Kuimu Wolf showed joy on his face, quickly expressing gratitude, benefiting from having connections and background—even big matters might be hard to turn, but in small matters, one might get assistance.

"Princess, quickly tell Senior Sister, we are truly in love!"

Kuimu Wolf said eagerly to Baihua.

Baihua hesitated.

Kuimu Wolf only thought the suddenness of the situation caught Baihua off guard, causing her fright, so he quickly comforted and reminded her, not knowing Baihua was contemplating whether to tell the truth.

After all, the implication seemed to be that the one above was the Yellow Robe Demon's Senior Sister, and if speaking the truth offends him and the Immortal shelters him, what could she do?

Golden Light, having been a seasoned secretary, couldn't miss the thoughts of a Mortal.

"Princess, rest assured. I am here by Emperor Ziwei's order to rescue Xuanzang and his disciples. If you are unwilling, I will take Junior Brother to face celestial punishment."

Seeing Golden Light's assurance, Baihua looked at Yellow Robe Demon's hideous face and clenched her teeth, saying, "Immortal, I am unwilling. When we became a couple back then, it was because he took me by force."

"Please save me, Immortal!"

Yellow Robe Demon himself showed a face as if shocked for a hundred years,

Back then, you approached me, otherwise, why would I, the Western First Star Lord, need to disguise myself in this ghastly look, living in a shabby cave for decades?

Just for your appearance?

Do you deserve it?

Countless beautiful Fairies in heaven, wasn't all this for love?

Even Zhu Bajie, who was watching the show the entire time, finally understood what was going on and felt somewhat sympathetic.

"Throughout history, unrequited love leaves only endless regret, a sorrow eternal, another heartbroken soul in the world!"

Golden Light moved aside secretly with a stiff face—this is infatuation, whereas yours is obsession, how could they be the same?

A heartbroken Kuimu Wolf did not trouble Princess Baihua or the people of the Kingdom of Baoxiang, untied Xuanzang's spell, and with his heart as dead as ashes, Xuanzang, turned into a tiger, witnessed everything.

He felt what Kuimu Wolf, the Star Lord, did wasn't wrong, yet neither was Princess Baihua. For a moment, he didn't know who was wrong.

Love matters were somewhat beyond a monk's judgment of right and wrong.

"Immortal, the Star Lord merely acted foolishly, please return and spare him lightly."

Golden Light Saint Mother nodded in agreement.

A dejected Kuimu Wolf remembered Xuanzang's kind words for him—although their worldviews differed from the Human Clan, as Jie Sect Disciples, they still believed in repaying kindness and valuing loyalty.

Jin Ling Saint Mother 'escorted' Kuimu Wolf, taking the two children to the heavens, leaving the two alone not to continue with the Outer Dao. They were from the same sect, hierarchical relation aside, their usual relationship was amicable.

"Senior Sister Golden Light, I don't understand, why was Baihua so eager to approach me back then, but now she hates me so, not even looking at her own children?"

Golden Light rolled her eyes, somewhat baffled by these male Immortals' logic.

"Quickly transform back to your original appearance, with this ghastly look, what Princess would like you?"
