"Don't worry, Master, I, Old Pig, have full faith in your talents..." Zhu Bajie eagerly flattered Tang Sanzang.
Ahead of them, Sun Wukong sniffed the air and caught a whiff of demon energy. He turned back and barked, "Idiot, stay alert. There's a monster nearby, stop with the flattery."
Zhu Bajie scoffed nonchalantly, "Horses' Fortune, with Old Pig protecting Master here, which clueless monster would dare to snatch him from Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy?"
Qin Shou smirked inwardly and chimed in, "That's right. You, silly monkey, always love overthinking things. With Bajie by my side, there's nothing to worry about."
"By the way, I'm quite hungry. Go fetch some vegetarian meals for me."
Sun Wukong's face darkened as he realized Qin Shou was ignoring his warning and even ordering him to go begging for food. Rage boiled within him.
But he glanced up at the tightening spell on his head, and with no other choice, he gave a disgruntled snort and leapt high into the clouds.
