Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 637 - 638 Do You Mind Marrying into the Demon

“Yes, Great Saint!”

Although Yuan Hong did not understand how Sun Wukong could suddenly drop the matter, he nodded respectfully, ready to inquire further from Jiang Liu’er the next morning about exactly what had happened.

The night passed quickly and the next morning, Jiang Liu’er arrived at the separate courtyard with Queen Lingxi by his side.

“Master, the Great Saint told me that last night you almost took the fake act to reality with that queen. What exactly happened?”

Yuan Hong pulled Jiang Liu’er aside and whispered sternly, looking at him with disapproval. It was because of Jiang Liu’er that Sun Wukong had woken him from his sleep to scold him, and he was still utterly confused.

“This… it’s my fault; I developed genuine feelings and couldn’t hold back. Fortunately, the Great Saint arrived in time, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable…”

Jiang Liu’er looked sheepish. He and Yuan Hong had indeed planned to feign the marriage to obtain the travel pass. He hadn’t expected that Queen Lingxi turned out to be a divine incarnation of Fairy Chang’er. Overwhelmed by his deep feelings for her, he had lost control.

However, Jiang Liu’er did not share these details with Yuan Hong. He had never spoken to his disciples about matters concerning Fairy Chang’er, as the fewer people knew about it, the better for her reputation.

“Master, what can I say about you!”

Yuan Hong’s face showed a mix of resignation and frustration, but he ultimately let out a sigh of acceptance, “Well, it’s over now, and luckily nothing happened. It was just a scare. Master, quickly go and settle the matter with the queen, exchange the travel pass, and let’s immediately leave this Western Liang Women’s Kingdom to continue our journey west!”

“The pass has already been exchanged!”

Jiang Liu’er said as he pulled out the travel pass stamped with the golden seal from his sleeve, “I’ve already reached an agreement with the Great Saint that once we successfully complete our scripture-seeking journey, I’ll return here and finalize the marriage with Lingxi. At that time, the Great Saint will officiate our wedding ceremony.”

“Officiate the wedding? After the scripture-seeking journey is successful?”

Yuan Hong gaped, seemingly in disbelief as he looked at Jiang Liu’er, and after a long while, he shook his head with a bitter smile, “Master, you really have taken a shine to that queen, huh! Well, it’s your private matter after all, as long as it doesn’t affect our scripture-seeking journey, I shouldn’t interfere. Let’s hurry up and hit the road!”

Meanwhile, Zhu Bajie pulled Sun Wukong aside with a sly grin on his face, “Great Saint, I heard about what’s going on between Master and that queen! If I’m not mistaken, does Master have some kind of relationship with Fairy Chang’er?”

Sun Wukong’s pupils shrank suddenly as he looked at Zhu Bajie, this fool who usually appears clueless, but at this moment, he’s sharp as dust, having noticed that!

True, this guy was banished to the Mortal World because he harassed Fairy Chang’er. Not to mention how true the harassment might be, he definitely knew Chang’er, so seeing Fairy Lingxi’s appearance would naturally remind him of Chang’er, which wasn’t strange at all.

“Don’t pry into things you shouldn’t!”

Sun Wukong’s face hardened as he glared fiercely at Zhu Bajie, who, surprisingly, still wore a grin and showed no signs of fear.

“Great Saint, you are being too biased, I heard that once we return from the scripture-seeking journey, you are going to host Master’s wedding with the queen!”

Zhu Bajie’s smile was mischievous, “We are all family here, Great Saint, you can’t favor one over the other. I’m all alone here, you should consider my situation too, right?”

Sun Wukong was speechless, Zhu Bajie really saw himself as a matchmaker!

But Sun Wukong didn’t refuse outright. This fool was always a lecherous type, otherwise, the Jade Emperor wouldn’t have punished him by banishing him to the Mortal World for flirting with Fairy Chang’er, not to mention taking Gao Cuilan as a bride at the Gao Family’s home while waiting for Jiang Liu’er’s arrival from the West.

There weren’t as many strict rules in the Demon Cult as in the Buddhist Sects, so it wasn’t a big deal for Zhu Bajie to seek a Taoist companion; however, once being Marshal Tianpeng and now possessing the cultivation of a Taiyi Scattered Immortal, he naturally wouldn’t be a match for a mere mortal.

His eyes darting around, Sun Wukong thought of someone suitable and wrapped an arm around Zhu Bajie’s neck, asking with a chuckle, “Bajie, would you mind marrying someone from the Demon Clan?”

“The Demon Clan? What kind of demon?”

The appearance of the Demon Clan could be quite exotic, some even grotesquely ugly, and Zhu Bajie certainly wouldn’t want to marry a monster—what if they had children who were even uglier?

“Like, someone who cultivated from bones to become human?”

“Great Saint, are you talking about Bai Jingjing?”

Zhu Bajie’s eyes lit up suddenly. Although Bai Jingjing was a demon transformed from bones, she was quite beautiful in human form. Marrying her would indeed be a blessed event!

“Exactly! Bai Jingjing it is!”

Sun Wukong slapped Zhu Bajie’s shoulder heavily, almost knocking the fool flat on the ground, “Bai Jingjing is currently at Flower-Fruit Mountain, and many covet her beauty. Without my help to matchmake, it would definitely be impossible…”

“Great Saint, as long as you are willing to help with the matchmaking, I shall be indebted to you forever, Great Saint. Whatever you command, through water and fire, I shall never complain!”

Zhu Bajie, indeed a smooth-talker, immediately grasped Sun Wukong’s intentions and began pounding his chest, vowing solemnly.

“Alright, it’s a promise. As long as you protect Jiang Liu’er and ensure the successful scripture-seeking journey, the day Flower-Fruit Mountain receives its merit and destiny, I, Old Sun, will certainly help you secure this marriage!”
