Unfortunately, none of those who planned to marry on the Journey to the West had a good ending.

With the help of Star Lord Angri, Sun Wukong challenged the Scorpion Demoness, and with just a few rooster crows from the Star Lord, she was killed.

Xuan Zang ultimately survived the ordeal.

Having finished his task, Star Lord Angri enjoyed a meal and left, as the Scorpion Demoness was great nourishment for him.

The four master and disciples returned to the Daughter Country, and the anxious queen also breathed a sigh of relief, even thoughtfully postponing the wedding again out of concern for Sun Wukong.

She left so the master and disciples could rest more.

The four were indeed exhausted after the commotion, and Sun Wukong, rarely, was somewhat sentimental.

"Oh, what a mess this is!"

Zhu Bajie smacked his lips and said, "What's wrong Brother Monkey? I think the queen really likes you. Why don't you just stay?"

Sun Wukong felt that Zhu Bajie was making sarcastic remarks.

"Get lost, what do you know?"

Bajie grinned; among us four, who knows more about love than I do?

At this time, Xuan Zang noticed that Wukong's heart was quite troubled, so he said, "Wukong, do you really have feelings for the queen? If so, stay. When I rescued you, you risked your life several times to protect me. If you really find happiness here, I sincerely bless you."

Sun Wukong realized his master misunderstood, so he explained, "The queen treats me sincerely. Since I popped out of a rock, no one has treated me this well, but I really don't understand anything about love!"

Although Xuan Zang had no experience in this area, he still encouraged, "Wukong, the queen treats you with a true heart. You shouldn't deceive her anymore. Why not clarify things with her now? I believe she will support our journey."

Sun Wukong scratched his head and uttered his classic phrase.

"Ah, so annoying!"

He, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, who wasn't afraid of causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, now felt uneasy for deceiving a mortal. Does that make sense?

After hesitating for a moment, Sun Wukong decided to clarify things with the queen. In the Primordial times, one can't do something a third time after doing it twice without consequence. He felt that if he couldn't leave the third time, he would really be stuck.

He's not one to delay. Once he decided, he rushed out, leaving Sha Wujing at a loss.

Xuan Zang treated no one differently and comforted, "Wujing, that State Preceptor is also a good woman. If you want to stay here, I sincerely bless you."

Sha Wujing, a rather slow person, struggled internally for a long time before making a decision. If he never had anything, he might concede. But considering he was once an immortal, how could he be willing to live a mundane mortal life?

"Master, I want to get the scriptures."

After speaking, he also left.

Watching his two disciples leave, Xuan Zang sighed. The journey was full of hardships, and staying here might not be bad.

Through the numerous challenges, he had long developed deep feelings with his three disciples, feeling both gratified and guilty at this moment.

Sun Wukong, being decisive, met the queen and straightforwardly expressed his thoughts.

For a typical woman, they might make a scene, but Hippolyte was different.

She asked a question instead.

"Since you planned to sneak away twice, you could just sneak away again this time. Why did you come to tell me?"

Sun Wukong looked at the queen's radiant eyes, feeling they shone brighter than his Eyes of Golden Flame.

Lacking experience with women, he could only speak truthfully, "You've treated me well. Since I popped out of a rock, no kin has treated me this nicely, so I don't want to lie to you now."

Sincerity is always a killer move.

After hearing Sun Wukong's words, the queen smiled in relief, knowing her affections weren't in vain.

"I like you. Even if you don't reciprocate, since you want to obtain the scriptures, I'll support you."

The Great Sage Equal to Heaven ultimately found himself humbled before a woman, and this was his first time feeling unable to raise his head before someone.

...

On the second day, the ceremony was still grand, but it was no longer a wedding; it was a pledge of sworn brotherhood. Queen Hippolyte became sworn siblings with Sun Wukong, making Monkey the brother and the queen the sister.

In this world, lovers often become siblings.

As they left, the queen gave Sun Wukong a luxurious golden waistband.

The master and disciples continued westward. Even Bajie held back his slyness, pondering with his pig brain, though mumbling a poem.

"Since ancient times, lovesickness leaves only endless regret, the melancholy is ceaseless~"

Sun Wukong felt somewhat down, carrying his staff as they gradually left the Daughter Country.

"Big Brother, do you regret it? Such a great woman, you might never meet another like her."

Sun Wukong had no real feelings about romantic matters; he simply felt guilty, thinking he let down someone who treated him well.

He pointed to his heart and said, "Fool, this is made of stone, how can there be love?"

Zhu Bajie showed a face of regret as if mourning a lost opportunity.

"Sigh, the queen was such a good woman but chose the wrong man. If she fancied me, humph!"

Sun Wukong ignored him; considering your lecherous nature, it's a wonder if anyone would fancy you.

...

Heavenly Court

Nezha, bored, turned over and gestured for the Moon Palace's Chang'e dancers to leave, then took out the Kunlun Mirror to check on the Westward Team's status,

Oh? They're almost at the Flame Mountain.

Having recuperated in the Heavenly Palace, his Taoist body and mana had mostly recovered, and it was time to be on the move again.

After explaining things to Daji and Cheng Chan Yu, he left a doppelgänger and departed the Heavenly Court, disguising himself as the Bull Demon King and heading west.

Tie Shan still guarded near Flame Mountain, though often spent time at Lingshan or the South Sea. Since Xuan Zang and his disciples were coming, Nezha specifically instructed her to stay put at home.

Disguised as the Bull Demon King, Nezha roamed between Cuiyun Mountain and Thunder Mountain.

The master of the Sky Scraping Cave at Thunder Mountain was Tushan Qingya, now under the alias Jade-faced Fox, claiming to be the only daughter of the Fox King, seeking the Bull Demon King as a spouse to protect her family fortune.

Why do this? Those in the know understand.

At this moment, Nezha leaned leisurely on a chair as Tushan Qingya fed him grapes.

"Let me tell you, do you know about Xuan Zang and his disciples in the Daughter Country?"

At that time, Nezha's focus was on recovery, paying little attention, and Bajie was just going through the motions anyway.

"What happened? Did the queen fancy Xuan Zang?"

Qingya showed a subtle expression and said, "No, the queen fancied Sun Wukong."

"Back then, the red string touched Wukong but failed to bind him. Watching made me anxious. Had you not instructed, I'd have held down that monkey."

Nezha smirked, but considering the situation in this world's Daughter Country, it's understandable. Ultimately, such whimsical love should be blamed on the Dragon Clan!

They've brought a negative social atmosphere to the Primordial times!
