Chapter 12

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Miss, who are you?"

The woman waved her fan and glanced at her. "Do you know that my family has an endless amount of money and can wear an endless amount of silk and satin? Look at the tattered clothes on these people. I haven't even despised their ugliness and wanted to take them as my son-in-law. Why did you reject them first?"

"Go ahead and find your son-in-law, but don't even think about this monkey. He's mine." Suspension's anger did not diminish as he loudly declared his sovereignty.

"Heh, I won't say anything to a little girl like you."

The woman looked at Tang Seng. "I wonder if any of you masters would like to stay, or if all of you can stay."

"Benefactress, my three disciples and I are determined to go to the Western Paradise to obtain the Buddhist scriptures. We have no intention of becoming your son-in-law. Please choose another good son-in-law."

Tang Seng said with a calm face, as if he did not care about what the woman had just said about 'endless gold and silver, endless silk and satin'.

When the woman saw that Tang Seng was insistent and that his disciples did not speak, her face turned cold. "I tried to talk to you nicely, but I didn't expect you to be so unappreciative. Hmph."

Placing the fan behind his back, he turned around and left.

"Master, sit down." Sha Seng helped Tang Seng to sit down.

Only then did Suspension realize that Tang Seng had taken in another disciple. He stepped forward and said, "Hello, I'm Suspension."

"Hello, Miss Suspension."

Sha Seng looked like an honest man. "Before I descended to the mortal world, I heard about Miss Suspension and Eldest Senior Brother. Back then, when you were in the peach garden together, the best peach always had the saliva of a scorpion spirit on it instead of a monkey's saliva. People only knew that Eldest Senior Brother was a monkey who loved to eat peaches, but they didn't know that he gave the best peach to you."

"Hehe, Wukong always leaves the best peaches for me."

Seeing that Suspension was about to strike up a conversation with Sha Seng, the Monkey King pulled her over. "Old Sun asked you, why did you come back?"

"I missed you, so I came back." She wrapped her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs around his waist, grinning as if she did not care.

"You missed Old Sun?

Old Sun, Old Sun. You must've been bullied outside.. that's why you came back. "He turned his head." Hmph, now you know the Old Sun..... "

"That's right, Wukong is the best." She rubbed her face against his clothes. The material of his clothes was rough, and her face hurt from rubbing against his clothes. Her face must be red.

. delicate.. "

She was obviously a poisonous scorpion spirit, but she was actually as delicate as a little white rabbit. She must have been the reincarnation of a rabbit spirit in her previous life.

Although he said that, he still stretched out his hand and cast a spell to create some cold air so that the redness on her face would fade away as soon as possible.

Suspension giggled as if no one was around.

"Ahem …" Pigsy faked a few coughs. "Brother Monkey, Suspension. Master is still here. Be careful."

"Wukong is really different now. He knows how to care for others. This is a blessing." The Tang Seng nodded in satisfaction.

Pigsy and Sha Seng were stunned. How could there be such a saying? If it were someone else, the Monkey King would not care so much.

Sha Seng said, "Master, you haven't eaten dinner yet. We still have some rice in our luggage. I'll go to the kitchen and see if I can borrow some oil and salt to make some."

Pigsy said, "Then I'll go feed the horses."

The two walked out. Pigsy looked at the rice in the alms bowl in Sha Seng's hand. "It's all Master's fault. Did he have to reject the marriage now?

Great, I didn't even get to eat a vegetarian meal. This rice isn't even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. "

"Second Senior Brother, you can't say that. Master is the person appointed by Guanyin Bodhisattva to collect the scriptures. How can he abandon his principles for a vegetarian meal?"

Sha Seng said earnestly, "Besides, we are all people with cultivation. These vegetarian meals are just to fill our stomachs. It's not good for our cultivation."

As the saying goes, diseases come from the mouth. Eating grains was not only not good for cultivators, but it would also make them lose the heart to cultivate. Therefore, one of the reasons why cultivators had to abstain from eating.

Pigsy curled his lips. "Old Pig, I don't have such high ideals. I only know that I have nothing in my stomach now. I can't even fill my stomach. Old Pig, I don't know if I still have the strength to escort Master to the Western Paradise.

"Hehe, throw it over here. Quick, over here. Hehehe …" A delicate voice sounded. Pigsy looked over and saw three young women in gorgeous dresses in the side garden. They were holding a delicate red peony in their hands.

"Second Senior Brother, this is your fault. Guanyin Bodhisattva …" Sha Seng said. When he finished speaking, he found that Pigsy did not follow him. He looked back and saw him standing there, thinking about something. "Second Senior Brother, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah?

Nothing, nothing. "

Pigsy said in a hurry. "I think what you said makes sense. Guanyin Bodhisattva asked us to protect Master to go to the Western Paradise. Old Pig, how can I give up because of the desire for food? Hurry up and cook for Master. I'm going to feed the horse."

With that, he walked to another road. Although Sha Seng was puzzled, he saw that it was already late. If it was any later, there would be no one in the kitchen. He could not borrow oil and salt, so he had to go to the kitchen first.

Half an hour later, Sha Seng came back with cooked rice. He found that Pigsy had not come back yet. He could not help but wonder, "Why hasn't Second Senior Brother come back yet?"

"Who knows where he went."

Monkey King snorted. Sha Seng handed the rice to Tang Seng. "Then I'll go look for him. It's already late. There's probably nowhere to feed the horse."

"You don't have to go. Old Sun, go see what that fool is up to first." Monkey King turned the Suspension into a dragonfly and himself into a mosquito. The two flew out.

While he was flying around, before he could even catch a glimpse of Zhu Bajie, he heard a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha, this person looks so strange."

"Isn't that so? He looks like a pig, but he has human hands and feet."

"Hehe, ladies, don't look at my ugly appearance. I'm a good person. My heart is very kind."

With that, Pigsy smiled. He put the peony flower in his hand to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. He seemed to be a little shy.

The green-clothed woman looked at Pigsy. "Then let me ask you. Why are you so ugly? I've never seen such an ugly man in my life."

The woman's voice sounded very innocent. It gave people the feeling that she was just puzzled, but not disgusted by his ugliness. Pigsy smiled. "Look at what you're saying. Looks are given to me by my parents. Old Pig, what can I do? If I could do it all over again, who wouldn't want to be born with the appearance of a handsome young man?"

At this moment, the woman walked over from the side corridor. She seemed very satisfied with Pigsy's words. "That's right. Looks are given to you by your parents. It's a gift. You can't dislike it."

The three young women bowed to the woman and entered the house. Looking at the beautiful figures of the three women, Pigsy's eyes widened. The woman smiled and walked in front of Pigsy. "Your master really doesn't know how to appreciate favors. He directly refused to marry into our family."

"Madam, don't blame my master. My master's mission was given to him by Guanyin Pusa. He wouldn't dare to go against it."

"Given to him by Guanyin Pusa?"

The woman seemed to be interested. "His mission was given to him by Guanyin Pusa. Are your three disciples' missions the same?

Guanyin Pusa doesn't have the time for that. "

"It's a long story."

Pigsy sighed. "My master set off from Chang 'an to Spirit Mountain. It's a long journey. Not long ago, we met a demon. Who knows what else we'll meet in the future. If it were me, I would have given up long ago. I'd rather marry and have children."

"Oh?

Then are you willing to marry into our family? "

"This …" Pigsy was a little hesitant. If he was alone, he was naturally willing. But how was he going to tell his master and fellow disciples?

Suspension looked at Monkey King. "He wouldn't really agree to marry into our family, would he?"

"This idiot deserves to be played."

Not only did he have bad intentions, but he was also so stupid that others could see through him. It only took a little probing to figure him out. He deserved to be tricked.

Monkey King flew over and bit Pigsy's ear. Pigsy subconsciously slapped it hard, but he only slapped his own ear. He cried out in pain.

The woman saw that he didn't give an accurate answer and turned to leave. Pigsy was anxious. "Mother!"

Suspension's legs went soft and she fell onto the leaf. She looked over in shock.

Pigsy smiled and stepped forward. "Mother, I'm willing. I'm willing to be your son-in-law. Which sister are you going to betroth to me?"

"You really want to marry into our family?

Then how are you going to tell your master? "The woman looked at Pigsy suspiciously, as if she didn't believe that he was really willing to marry into their family.

"Mother, you don't have to worry about this. I have my own way of dealing with Old Pig. As the saying goes, everyone has their own ambitions. His ambition is to go to the Western Paradise. I, Old Pig, am a layman. My ambition is to live a good life and not have to worry about food."

The woman nodded with satisfaction. "If that's the case, then go and tell your master that from today onwards, you are our son-in-law. I'll also ask my daughters who is willing to marry you. We'll get married tomorrow."

"Oh, okay. Mother, take care."

The woman entered the corridor and disappeared around the corner. Pigsy smiled foolishly for a while. He sniffed the peony in his hand and then walked back.

Back in the hall, Pigsy saw Tang Seng meditating and chanting scriptures on the seat of honor. Monkey King was eating peaches and feeding Suspension on his shoulder. Sha Seng saw him come back and asked, "Second Senior Brother, why were you gone for so long?"

"There's no good food. There's nowhere to feed the horse."

Zhu Bajie sat at the side and watched as Sun Wukong threw away the pit of the peach. Then, he took out another peach out of nowhere. Just like before, Sun Wukong ate a mouthful of the peach and fed it to Zhu Bajie.
