Qin Yao was about to respond when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Among the 81 difficulties, the one about the Kingdom of Women is both the most difficult and the simplest.
If we put this into the current world view, the difficulty is that Tang Seng was really moved, and in the original book he even wanted to take the king away.
If the King and the Kingdom of Women were not one and the same, the Kingdom of Women would have been petrified and sealed when the King left, and there would have been one more woman, or one more couple, on the journey to the West.
The easy part is that if the protagonist, Tang Sanzang, doesn't get tempted, then this level will be easy to pass...
At this moment, as long as he teaches the king what love is, he can open the sealed door and end it all.
But the problem is, this ordeal is over, but there is no continuation of the plot. What will this outsider experience?
The unknown represents danger, and the time gained can also be used to refine Sanzang's potential.
Thinking of this, he silently reversed his magic power, his face turned pale, and he spat out a stream of blood.
"Holy monk."
Seeing this, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women didn't bother to ask what love was. She quickly supported him and asked in panic, "What's wrong with you?"
"Blood, it's all wasted." Huangpizhi looked at the blood blooming on the ground, crying out in grief: "Tell me before you spray it, I will catch it for you. So much blood, all on the ground, isn't it a pity..."
"Shut up." Sun Wukong kicked him up and flew up. He then flashed in front of Qin Yao and looked at his internal condition with his fiery eyes. He said, "Your mana is running wild. It should be caused by the injury just now."
"I didn't..." Qin Yao looked up at him, and just as he started to speak, he fainted.
"Master~~" Zhu Bajie shouted at the top of his voice.
"You're not dead yet, stop crying." Sun Wukong glared at him and scolded him.
Zhu Bajie immediately shut up and said seriously, "What should we do next, Big Brother?"
"Let me take care of him." The King of the Kingdom of Women said seriously.
"Can you take care of people?" Sun Wukong expressed his doubt.
The king puffed out his chest and said, "Don't underestimate me. Although I have never taken care of others, I have been taken care of by others for eighteen years. I know very well how to take care of someone."
Three disciples: "..."
"The environment here is not good, so I'd better take him back to the palace to take care of him. Will you three follow us back to the palace, or go find the barrier gate mentioned in the characters?" Soon, the king said again.
Sun Wukong thought for a moment and said, "Lao Sha, follow them back to the palace and keep an eye on Master. Bajie, come with me to find the gate to the barrier."
Zhu Bajie blinked and said seriously, "Big Brother, I think I might be more suitable for Lao Sha's job. How about letting Lao Sha go with you, and I'll take care of Master?"
"What the hell are you doing? Don't I know you?" Sun Wukong reached out and grabbed one of his protruding ears, saying with a forced smile, "Are you going or not?"
"Go, go, can't I go?" Zhu Bajie grabbed his hand and shouted, "Let go, let go of me."
Sun Wukong snorted coldly and then asked the king, "My little girl... King, do you have any tips for us?"
The king pondered for a moment and said, "The citizens of the Kingdom of Daughters are scattered all over the place. If there were any barrier gates in these areas, we would have discovered them long ago. There is only one place that no subject has ever set foot in."
"What place is that?" asked Sun Wukong.
"sea of bitterness!"
The king said solemnly, "Our ancestors taught us that the Sea of Bitterness has no end in sight and no shore to turn back from. Once you step into it, you are doomed to wander for the rest of your life. That is why no one dares to go into the Sea of Bitterness."
"Then let's go to the Sea of Bitterness." said Sun Wukong.
"What if I can't come back?" Zhu Bajie asked loudly.
Sun Wukong said angrily, "There is nothing in this world that can trap me except the palm of the Buddha's hand. Don't worry, I'm here, and I will definitely come back."
"No one knows what's in the sea of suffering, so I hope you'll be careful," the king said seriously.
Sun Wukong waved his hand, reached out and grabbed Zhu Bajie's collar, turned around and asked, "Which way is the sea of suffering going?"
The king pointed in a direction and said, "Rise high into the sky and keep flying forward. You will soon see the ocean."
"My dear Queen, please take good care of our Master." Sun Wukong shouted, and then he quickly turned into light and disappeared with Bajie.
The king pursed his lips, put his fingers into his mouth and snapped his lips. Suddenly, the pure white divine deer came running and landed in front of the three people.
"Is it okay for you to run?" After putting Qin Yao on the deer's back, the king looked up at Sha Wujing.
"It's okay..." Lao Sha responded.
Before he finished speaking, the king nodded, sat on the deer's back, and rode away...
late at night.
Queen's Palace.
The king was watching over Qin Yao without taking off his clothes. Outside the brightly lit palace, Sha Wujing felt very bored, so he flew onto the roof and quietly looked at the moon hanging in the sky.
"Plop, plop, plop..."
In the bedroom of a single man and a single woman, the King of the Kingdom of Women sat before his bed, his eyes fixed on the figure before him. Feeling his heartbeat quicken, he murmured, "Am I becoming more and more poisoned?"
No one answered her question, not even a single echo from within the palace.
After a moment, the king reached out and stroked the man's cheek. The image of the man resolutely pushing him away flashed through his mind, and he spoke again: "Don't worry, you were seriously injured because of me. I will definitely take good care of you."
Qin Yao: “…”
He couldn't bear to deceive this simple and honest girl anymore.
But in the end, he resisted the urge to wake up and lay quietly on the bed.
The Queen of the Kingdom of Women stayed by his bedside all night long.
After dawn, she personally wiped his face, hands, and fed him water, taking every step very seriously.
After two days, the other person's dark circles became more and more obvious, and he looked haggard.
"Your Majesty, we will take care of the holy monk. You can go and have a rest." On the third day, a female official said softly.
The king shook his head. "No, I want to do more for him, too."
Hearing this, Qin Yao gradually felt a touch of emotion in his heart. When this touch of emotion melted in his heart, it formed the purest goodwill.
He couldn't bear to endure the other person any longer, so that night, his fingers trembled slightly twice.
The king noticed this situation keenly, and his heart was immediately filled with surprise. He held Qin Yao's hands tightly with both hands, and called out with expectation: "Holy monk, holy monk..."
Qin Yao slowly opened his eyes and looked into the other person's eyes: "Your Majesty."
The king suddenly laughed, as bright as a summer flower: "You are finally awake!"
As a veteran in the love field, Qin Yao could see the affection in her eyes at a glance.
Perhaps it was the entanglement of fate, or the influence of the hero saving the beauty, but she was finally moved.
This moment comes later than in the original novel. In the original novel, Xuanzang's attraction to the king is the attraction of opposites attracting each other. It is a bit exaggerated to say that he fell in love with each other at first sight, but in fact it is not much different. It feels like love at first sight.
After a moment of silence, Qin Yao drew a talisman in the air, sealing the palace. Then he said seriously, "Your Majesty, I want to ask you a question."
The king, with a naive and gullible face and a confused expression, asked curiously, "What's the problem?"
"Do you like my body or my soul?" Qin Yao asked.
The king's cheeks flushed red, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "I didn't say I liked you."
"You don't have to tell me, I can see it." Qin Yao said.
Innocence is not stupidity. The king reacted immediately, his eyes lit up instantly: "Holy monk, is this love?"
Qin Yao nodded: "This is love. You asked me what love is, and I will tell you now, the so-called true love is your love for me now."
King: "Then can we open the barrier door?"
"Don't worry about that for now." Qin Yao said, "Think about my question first."
The king thought about it seriously and said frankly, "It starts with appearance and ends with soul. If you looked like Zhu Bajie, I would definitely not look at you differently."
Qin Yao said: "What if one day, I become something else?"
"No matter what you become, I will not change." The King of the Kingdom of Women said seriously.
Qin Yao smiled faintly and said, "Your Majesty, please protect me! I have had some enlightenment between life and death, and I may be on the verge of a breakthrough."
In fact, the sudden enlightenment between life and death was fake, and the real thing was that he secretly advanced while his disciples were not around.
If you miss this opportunity, it won't be easy to wait for the next time...
Time flies and the days and months change.
Twelve hours later, a golden light burst out from Qin Yao's head and was stopped by the rune restriction in the palace. The eighth cave was born in his sea of consciousness. The cave entrance was connected to Xuanzang's body through the air, and it was madly drawing energy from it like a water pump.
Outside the bed, the Queen of the Kingdom of Women opened her mouth gradually wide as she looked at the white-robed monk shining in the golden light.
What kind of skill is this?
Why is there such a noise when breaking through?
After a long time, the golden light outside Qin Yao's body gradually receded, but the golden light in his eyes was still bright.
Fairyland, Eight Cave Heavens!!
There are only two steps left to the Earthly Immortal Realm, which can be considered elite in the heavenly realm.
He parasitized on Xuanzang, just like a mouse falling into a rice jar, eating the rice while "lying down".
Three days later.
Qin Yao was still madly devouring Xuanzang's potential. His spiritual sense throughout the palace suddenly sensed a ball of violent energy descending from the sky at a high speed. He hurriedly stopped devouring and removed the restrictions in the palace.
"Master, Master."
The next moment, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie appeared in front of the palace gate. They reached out and knocked on the door and said, "We have found the gate to the barrier."
Qin Yao's heart was filled with regret.
How he wished the other party could look for another three to five months and give him another chance to be promoted.
"That's great." The Queen of the Kingdom of Women said to Qin Yao, "Take me away. I will give up my royal power and wealth, and you will abide by your rules and regulations. As long as you can let me stay by your side, that's all."
"Let's go to the barrier gate first." Qin Yao did not respond directly, but said with his eyes lowered.
He knew that the Queen of the Kingdom of Women could not leave the Kingdom of Women, even if she could ignore the lives and deaths of her people.
Because once she exits the barrier, she will be petrified...
Half a quarter of an hour later.
The sun sets in the west and the sky is filled with red clouds.
Sun Wukong controlled a large ship and led everyone through the fog to the other side. There, they saw a huge stone gate standing at the entrance to the other side. Under the golden sunlight, it exuded a sacred aura.
"Can we leave the Kingdom of Women by passing through this door?" When the ship docked, the king looked at the stone door that was close at hand and said.
Sun Wukong nodded. "That's right! I thought you needed to understand the truth to break the seal, but it turns out there's no seal on the door at all."
"Does this mean that His Majesty the King already knows what love is?" Zhu Bajie suddenly turned his head to look at the king and asked curiously.
The king looked up at Qin Yao, and everything was said without words.
"Oh~" Zhu Bajie immediately understood.
"Oh!!!" Sha Wujing suddenly shouted.
"Junior Brother Sha, there's no need to shout in surprise, it's so big...it's really big."
As Zhu Bajie said this, he turned around and watched Sha Wujing's belly swell up. In the blink of an eye, it looked like a ten-month pregnancy.
The king quickly looked at his hand and saw that he was holding a small blue bottle with a little liquid left in it. "Where did you get this bottle?"
Sha Wujing stared at his belly in amazement and mumbled, "From the palace. I saw someone drinking this, so I grabbed a bottle."
The king looked helpless and said, "You don't even know what this is, and you dare to drink it?"
"I thought that if ordinary women can drink it, why can't I? So I took it... Your Majesty, what on earth is this!" Sha Wujing screamed.
The king sighed, "This is the water of the Zimu River. Our Kingdom of Women relies on this river water to pass down from generation to generation."
Sha Wujing was dumbfounded: "So, what's inside my stomach is..."
"Child!" said the king with certainty.
Sha Wujing's eyes widened as if struck by lightning.
The two demons, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, looked at each other in bewilderment.
Man...oh no, a male demon is pregnant, what a rare and bizarre story.
"Master~~" After a moment, Sha Wujing fell in front of Qin Yao with his belly bulging, and said in fear: "Please save me."
Qin Yao had not expected such a change to happen. He turned to look at the king and asked, "Is there any way to remedy this?"
The king shook his head and said, "There is no remedy. If you don't want this child, you can only go to the Po'er Cave in the Juxian Temple on Jieyang Mountain to find the Ruyi Immortal and use the Luotai Spring to abort the child."
"Tell me about you." Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong became a little anxious and pointed at Sha Wujing and said, "You were about to leave, and yet you caused this kind of trouble."
"I didn't mean to do that," Sha Wujing said, feeling aggrieved. "Who knew you could get pregnant just by drinking water? Who could have imagined that before it happened?"
"Okay, Wukong, stop blaming Wujing." Qin Yao patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder and then said to Sha Wujing, "Wujing, do you want this child?"
"I don't want to."
Sha Wujing shook his head repeatedly: "If the news of a male demon having a child gets out, I will become the laughing stock of the three realms!"
