Because of the King's fiancé's premarital pregnancy incident, the wedding was postponed for a day, but Sun Wukong's plan remained unchanged: he would sneak away quietly at night.

So, after agreeing with his brothers, he went to deal with the enthusiastic queen himself, Brother Sha went to handle the enthusiastic State Preceptor, and Zhu Bajie stayed behind to protect the master.

Zhu Bajie was quite sour about it, thinking, why should he stay behind to protect the Great Monk while everyone else gets to meet beautiful sisters?

Xuanzang, on the other hand, was quite calm, as he had no such desires for beauty.

Meanwhile, the queen took Sun Wukong hunting, practicing martial arts, watching others duel; these were indeed activities the energetic Wukong was interested in.

You know, when Wukong saw that the queen cared so much about him, he actually felt a slight urge to stay. Ever since he was born, how many people have truly been good to him?

The Monkey is sentimental; could he not feel the queen's kindness towards him?

Meanwhile, Sha Wujing was deeply immersed in the land of tenderness. The beauty trap isn't just about using beauties, but more importantly, a sincere heart.

Once your heart is entangled, you'll naturally fall into the trap.

Everyone was having fun until near sunset when Zhu Bajie rushed over.

"Oh my dear Brother Monkey, stop flirting, the master has been captured by a demon!"

Sun Wukong, who was enjoying his time with the queen, suddenly panicked. How could this happen again?

Afraid that the demon might act ruthlessly and eat the master immediately, he asked, "Your Majesty, is there any demon around here?"

The queen thought for a moment and said, "This area is the hunting ground of our Xiliang Country, but near the west, there is a Venom Mountain, filled with Poison Insects. Even our warriors wouldn't set foot there. If there's a demon, it must be there."

Without another word, Sun Wukong dragged Zhu Bajie to find Sha Wujing and went to rescue the master.

On the other side, Xuanzang, swept away by a gust of black wind, was spun around until he found himself in a cave, facing a beautiful woman. This woman was the Jade Scorpion Spirit.

This was the Scorpion who once traded the Godslaying Spear Head with Nezha. Those who have ties with the Demon also have ties with the Buddha. Later, by chance, she entered Lingshan to listen to the teachings, but her wild nature was hard to tame, and her demonic nature was strong. She secretly left Lingshan and came to Xiliang Country to claim a mountain to cultivate alone.

She had stayed in Lingshan and knew Jin Can Zi. Now she wanted to capture Jin Can Zi to eat, not with her mouth but as the prime cauldron! The second disciple of the Buddha must be the top-notch cauldron!

Therefore, she now wanted to marry Xuanzang!

You know, you really have to hand it to those trained in Lingshan; this demon has quite a sense of ceremony.

For Xuanzang, marry? Marry who? How can a monk marry?

His disciples haven't even married yet, and here he is, about to marry a female demon—how embarrassing would that be?

He hurriedly wanted to use words to dissuade the other's crazy notion.

"Amitabha Buddha, how can a monk like me get married? This must not happen."

The Scorpion Demoness merely coveted Xuanzang's body. Who cares whether it's right or not?

"I have my sights set on you. Being a monk, so what?"

After saying so, she leaned in and blew a breath of immortal air onto Xuanzang's face.

Xuanzang hurriedly stepped back; why aren't demons following the usual rules anymore?

"Master, people around here prefer strong warriors. My eldest disciple wreaked havoc in the Heaven Palace five hundred years ago and is extremely strong. Why don't I ask Wukong for you?"

Wukong, I'm sorry, but I have to use you as a shield, or I'll really be eaten!

The Scorpion Demoness was clearly familiar with the affairs of Xiliang Country. Having stayed in Lingshan for quite some time, she had a sense of superiority.

"Those are just barbarians, merely a monkey, truly laughable that they fancy him. I am not attracted to a few beasts; you, slippery monk, suit my taste better."

Xuanzang was very angry at hearing his disciple insulted as a beast. Although the queen seemed to nearly force the marriage, she was genuinely kind to his group. Even while planning to marry Wukong, she treated his seemingly insignificant master with respect.

"Humph, in my opinion, you're no better than those 'barbarians'; at least they treat people sincerely."

This angered the Scorpion Demoness, as women hate being compared unfavorably to those they look down upon!

Female scorpions are no exception.

"Hmph, I think you're just short-sighted!"

"Now stop wasting words. Though you look a bit delicate, my methods are not to be compared to those barbarians!"

With that, she removed her outer garment, revealing large areas of snowy white skin with purple markings extending from her back to unknown places, looking quite unscrupulous.

Xuanzang tightly shut his eyes and stepped back desperately. This was the first time he encountered a female demon stripping at the slightest disagreement.

The Scorpion Demoness chuckled twice, ready to feast, when her mood was ruined.

Thud! Thud!

The earth and mountain quaked with two loud booms.

"Demon, come out! Is my master with you?"

The very ceremonious Scorpion Demoness, her mood spoiled, was furious, ignoring Xuanzang, she turned and charged out of the cave, revealing her true form with a mass of limbs scurrying out to face Sun Wukong and the others outside.

"You damned monkey, you've ruined my plans! I didn't even crash your wedding yesterday, and now you're repaying kindness with enmity?"

Holding the Demon Suppressing Staff, Brother Sha paused, his mind not comprehending.

"Senior Brother, that means this demon is actually quite nice."

Sun Wukong: ...

Can I just give this first stick to Brother Sha?

"Idiot! She captured our master, what's so nice about that?"

With that, he shouted 'demon, watch my stick' and charged up.

The Scorpion Demoness was not afraid at all; she breathed poison smoke, spit fire, and brandished a steel pitchfork, engaging the three brothers.

Sun Wukong, wary of the smoke, couldn't fully unleash his strength; Bajie and Sha Wujing, merely adding trouble, were of no use, and soon they fell into a disadvantage but still managed to hold on.

The Scorpion Demoness was no easy opponent; her giant scorpion body spun, her tail stinger swiftly darted out like lightning, and in a flash of black light, struck Monkey on the head.

Her stinger was not simple at all; it had absorbed a bit of the Godslaying Spear Tip's sharpness and demonic nature, and later swallowed many mosquito corpses. After years of refinement, getting hit by this would be quite unpleasant for anyone.

Seeing Sun Wukong knocked down with a single blow, Zhu Bajie thought, what's the point of fighting? He grabbed Monkey and Sha Wujing, turned around, and fled.

The Scorpion Demoness chased them for a while but ultimately gave up when they entered the Daughter Country's borders. She didn't mess with the queen's affairs for long. Do you think it's because she's kind?

No, it's because there are things there she fears.

She turned back to her cave to continue marrying Xuanzang. Although this marriage won't be blessed by both sides' families, she, the Scorpion Demoness, has always lived by her own rules!

Xuanzang nervously paced back and forth in the dark cave, unable to escape. At this moment, he felt that he had encountered the greatest crisis on his journey westward.
