On the upper floor of the tower, the two female generals looked at each other, both with hesitation on their faces.
Seeing this, Qin Yao asked, "Can't I?"
"Let him go!" The heroic female general took a deep breath and waved her hand.
As soon as he finished speaking, the archers on the watchtowers laid down their weapons and the warships blocking the river also made way.
"Wukong, it's up to you." Qin Yao turned his head and said.
Sun Wukong nodded slightly, raised his hand and pulled out a long golden hair, blew it gently, and the golden hair fell to the surface of the river and turned into a huge raft.
The four masters and apprentices, along with the white dragon horse, boarded the raft. Driven by Sun Wukong's magical power, they passed through the ship guarded by female soldiers and sailed into the waters of the Kingdom of Women.
As we walked, we saw that the river became narrower and narrower, and land began to appear on both sides, with wooden houses located on the land.
Countless women stood on the river bank, in wooden houses, and in buildings, pointing and talking at them, making the scene very lively.
"This is your final destination," Zhu Bajie said. "Master, after we escort you to the Western Paradise, can I ask the Buddha to make me the king here?"
Qin Yao said affirmatively: "No."
Zhu Bajie looked regretful and said, "Buddha can't even do such a small thing?"
Qin Yao: "It's not that I can't do it, it's that I can't do it. What's more, when you become a Bodhisattva in the future, the first thing you have to give up is lust. What do you need a country of women for?"
While they were talking, the raft reached the end of the riverbank. Sun Wukong put away the golden hair, and soon they came to a huge city. As far as the eye could see, there were beautiful women, some beautiful and some ugly, but without exception, any woman who saw them, the master and disciple, avoided them like the plague.
So the four masters and apprentices were like street-cleaning tigers; wherever they went, the place became empty.
In this situation, it is difficult to find a place to stay, let alone a place to stay.
at the same time.
Inside the palace.
Wearing a silver crown, with a pointed face and a dignified expression, the Imperial Master waved his hand at the woman kneeling before him and said, "I understand. You may withdraw."
"Yes, Master Imperial Master." The woman quickly stood up, her body suddenly turned into light and shadow, and disappeared into the palace.
Soon, the Imperial Preceptor slowly approached the King, who was reviewing memorials, and softly called out, "Your Majesty."
The Queen of the Kingdom of Women looked up at the sound and smiled before she spoke: "National Master, Mother."
"Half an hour ago, a monk led several demons into the country, carrying your majesty's jade talisman. They have now entered the imperial city." The Imperial Preceptor looked down at the king and said seriously, "Your Majesty, did you lose the jade talisman? Did those people find it?"
The king's smile faltered, and he shook his head: "No, I gave them the jade talisman myself."
"Why?" asked the national teacher quietly.
The king confessed, "I am curious about men and want to study this species."
"Your Majesty, there are some things you shouldn't be curious about. Once you approach them out of curiosity, you'll be doomed." The Imperial Master said sternly, "I've told you, men in particular are the root of all evil in the world."
Seeing her serious expression, the king suddenly felt guilty and said, "I understand, Queen Mother. I will order them to be expelled right away."
The Imperial Master pondered for a moment and said, "It's too late. They have entered the Imperial City and attracted the attention of countless subjects. Even if they are expelled, countless subjects will be as curious about them as Your Majesty, and thus fall victim to the love curse. For the sake of your subjects, Your Majesty, please order their execution."
The king's eyes widened: "But..."
"Are you trying to say that they haven't made any mistakes now?" asked the Imperial Master.
The king nodded.
The Imperial Master said, "Of course they will. They will definitely do it. Besides, even if a poisonous insect doesn't harm anyone, it should be eliminated immediately."
The king thought about it and said, "Grand Master, let's arrest them first. We can't kill them just because we think they will commit a crime. This is a violation of the law."
The Imperial Master frowned: "What if..."
"I will personally interrogate them," the king said. "No one except me shall see them."
The Imperial Master was helpless: "Does it have to be this way?"
King: "I must uphold the fairness of the law. If I, as the king, take the lead in breaking the law, then the officials below will no longer take the law seriously, and the rule of law will completely collapse."
Looking at the determined young queen, the Imperial Preceptor compromised and said, "Your Majesty, please remember not to let your emotions get to you when you're around them. Otherwise, you'll be doomed..."
At dusk.
In the middle of the avenue.
Sun Wukong scratched the back of his hand, looked at the woman pointing at them from a few feet away, and said, "Master, where are we going next?"
Qin Yao pointed ahead and said, "The Imperial Palace!"
"That's them, take them down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, before he could put his hand down, a female general appeared in front of them with a group of guards, holding spears and halberds, and surrounded them.
Sun Wukong subconsciously took out the golden cudgel, but unexpectedly his master grabbed the golden cudgel on the top and pressed it down with one hand.
"Master?"
"They should be here to take us to the palace." Qin Yao explained.
Sun Wukong blinked, and with an idea, he put away the stick.
"Put on the shackles." The female general waved her hand.
"If we promise to cooperate throughout the process, there will be no need for shackles, right?" Qin Yao asked.
The female general remained unmoved, and several guards came over to them and put shackles on them.
“It smells so good…”
When the female soldiers were putting the shackles on themselves, Zhu Bajie said with a lewd look.
"Bang." Sun Wukong kicked him on the butt and scolded him, "Behave yourself and don't embarrass your master."
"I'm very normal. Isn't it okay to praise others?" Zhu Bajie asked back.
"Let's go." The female general looked at him coldly, turned around and led the guards and several others towards the palace.
Soon, the sun set behind the mountain, and the group arrived at a spacious hall.
Looking around, they saw a holy and incomparable girl in a white dress and a golden crown standing in front of the throne. Beside her stood a half-bald woman wearing a silver crown, looking at them with a cold face.
"You bold demon, why don't you kneel before my lord?" A female official suddenly stepped out from one side of the hall and asked loudly.
"Are you talking to us?" Qin Yao asked.
"Who else could it be if not you?" asked the female official.
Qin Yao laughed: "You also said that this is your master. We are not subjects of the Kingdom of Women. Why should we kneel when we see your master?"
"Arrogant," the court lady immediately said to the king, "Your Majesty, I beg you to punish this man for his contempt for the royal authority."
"You step back, I have my own ideas." The king waved his hand.
The female official glanced in the direction of the imperial teacher, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she slowly retreated back into the sequence.
"Put them in the Sky Prison. I will interrogate them after I have dealt with state affairs," said the king.
"Young lady, what crime have we committed?" Sun Wukong asked loudly.
"You are a man, and that is a sin."
The Imperial Master said coldly, "Yesterday, the Zimu River suddenly became restless, foreshadowing the arrival of a poisonous creature. Today, you have come to my Kingdom of Daughters, and you are clearly the poisonous creature foretold."
"Ridiculous." Sun Wukong couldn't understand her way of thinking. It was simply outrageous.
"Take him away." The king said hurriedly, fearing that they would quarrel with the imperial teacher.
Qin Yao cooperated and turned around, saying, "Wukong, let's go."
"This is really ridiculous." Sun Wukong shook his head and followed his master out of the hall slowly.
late at night.
The king came to the sky prison with a group of guards, and saw the white-robed monk sitting in the middle of the cell, with a faint golden light shining on his body, looking sacred and extraordinary.
"My dear, you are finally here."
Seeing her figure, Sun Wukong, who was originally sitting cross-legged next to Qin Yao, quickly stood up and asked, "Can you explain to me why being male is a sin?"
"You guys step back first." The king said to the guards behind him.
"Your Majesty~~" The leader of the guards hesitated.
The king said, "You can't even defeat me, you will only be a burden to me."
Hearing this, the guard leader blushed and had no choice but to slowly leave with his subordinates.
"Our laws don't stipulate that men are guilty of crimes, but it's a tradition passed down from generation to generation that men carry a deadly poison." After the followers had all left, the king explained to the monkey, "From what I've heard, it seems our ancestors' king was poisoned by a man's love and died."
"No wonder those women avoided us like the plague when we came here." Zhu Bajie murmured.
The king didn't even look at him, but stared at Qin Yao and asked, "Are you poisonous?"
Qin Yao shook his head: "I'm not poisonous."
"If you are not poisonous, why do I think of you from time to time after we separated? Now when I stand with you, my heart beats faster." The king asked.
"Then you're done." Zhu Bajie said with a mean smile, "You might have fallen for my master. That's what the word is, 'come on,' right, love at first sight."
"Shut up."
Qin Yao glared at him, then said to the king: "Maybe it's because this is your first time facing the opposite sex, and the curiosity and novelty ultimately led to this situation."
"It's not a love poison?" the king confirmed.
Qin Yao said affirmatively: "No."
The king hesitated and asked, "Why did you come to our country?"
Qin Yao: "I accidentally fell into this place while trying to escape from a river monster."
The king nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll have to bear with you staying here for a few days. Once the disturbance you've caused has subsided, I'll find a way to let you go."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Qin Yao bowed.
"I'm leaving first." The king finally looked at him deeply, turned around and strode away.
Not long after, a woman sneaked into the Imperial Master's Mansion like a ghost and repeated the entire conversation between the king and those people in the Sky Prison.
"The longing is brewing, and your heartbeat is accelerating. These are the signs of poisoning." The Imperial Master clenched his fists and said sternly, "We can't wait any longer. Go and poison them immediately."
"Yes, Master Imperial Master." The ghost girl bowed slightly, then turned and flew away.
late at night.
A female jailer, holding a lunch box, strode to the cell of the Westbound Group, placed the lunch box gently outside the cell door, and said, "It's time to eat, it's time to eat."
"What kind of meal are we having at this time?" Qin Yao turned his head to look at the moonlight outside the window, his face full of confusion.
"Midnight snack," the jailer said, "Do you want to eat it? If not, I'll take it away."
"Then take it." Qin Yao said.
jailer:"……"
The ghost girl suddenly appeared in front of the cell, holding a black crossbow in her hand. The crossbow was loaded with a black arrow, and the arrow was aimed at Qin Yao: "Eat, or I will shoot you."
"You try it." Qin Yao said calmly.
The ghost girl frowned and pulled the trigger suddenly. The sharp arrow immediately turned into a black light and rushed straight into the cell.
Sun Wukong lazily stretched out his right hand, grabbed the black arrow, and threw it back, scaring the ghost woman so much that she quickly retreated.
"Doo."
The sharp arrow pierced deeply into the ground in front of the ghost woman, and the entire arrow was embedded in the ground.
There was only a small hole left on the ground, which made the ghost woman feel cold all over.
"Master, what should we do with her?"
Sun Wukong raised his hand, and a suction force suddenly came out from his palm, quickly sucking the ghost girl's body over and slamming it against the iron door of the cell with a bang.
Qin Yao looked into the ghost girl's eyes and said, "I know you are also following orders, so I will not pursue the matter this time.
When you return, tell your master not to plot against us again. Otherwise, I will take these disciples from the Sky Prison and charge straight to her residence, where I will hang her up and beat her.
I'm not kidding, don't mistake our concessions for weakness."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong silently lowered his hand, and the ghost girl immediately regained her freedom.
"Do you know who my master is?"
Qin Yao smiled and said, "It's not hard to guess. It's the middle-aged woman in the silver dress and the silver crown in the hall today, right?"
The ghost girl looked at him deeply, then turned and left: "I will pass your words on to the Grand Master."
"Master Imperial Master..." Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes and said, "So that woman is the Imperial Master."
Qin Yao said: "I hope she can be more sensible, otherwise she will be the one who will be embarrassed in the end."
"Based on your prediction, how strong are they?" On the eve of dawn, at the Imperial Master's residence, the Imperial Master wearing a silver crown asked in a deep voice.
Ghost Woman: "I don't know about the others, but that monster with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth should be able to kill me easily."
"Are you sure?" the Imperial Master asked in a serious tone.
The ghost girl nodded: "I am sure that I have no power to fight back against him."
The imperial teacher suddenly felt a headache.
I originally thought it was just a minor trouble that had mistakenly entered the Kingdom of Women, but I didn't expect it to be a group of dragons crossing the river.
Even the ghost girl is no match for any of them, so even if an army is sent to kill them, it is unlikely to be effective and will cause dissatisfaction among the king.
Thinking of the king, worry grew in her eyes. She stayed in silence in the palace until dawn, and then hurried to the outside of the king's bedroom.
"National Master Mother."
Half a quarter of an hour later, the king had just walked out of the palace when he saw the silver-dressed woman who looked like a sculpture in the sunlight.
"Your Majesty, did you miss that man last night?" the Imperial Master asked solemnly.
The king pursed his lips and said, "When I'm bored, his shadow flashes through my mind..."
"Your Majesty, please deal with them immediately, whether by execution or expulsion. There is no time to wait," the Imperial Preceptor declared. "You have been poisoned. If you do not deal with them, once the poison enters your heart, it will be incurable, just like our ancestor, the king."
The King of the Kingdom of Women: “…”
Is it that serious?
But she felt that she was fine!
