Chapter 768: Chapter 768

Tang Sanzang solemnly and sternly said, "The Queen of Women’s Country has been blinded by false information, and as her mentor, it is my responsibility and duty to teach her the correct history, to prevent repeating the mistakes of the past."

Zhu Bajie reminded, "Master, we are running out of time, Buddhism could attack us at any moment."

Tang Sanzang immediately became restless and stood up, saying, "I must go to the Imperial Palace at once."

In the rear garden of the Imperial Palace, Tang Sanzang and the Queen of Women’s Country floated on the blue waves in a boat, the Queen adorned with a floral wreath, more delicate than the flowers, while Tang Sanzang rowed the boat, gently rippling the clear lake, creating ripples on its surface.

The Queen of Women’s Country smiled and asked, "Brother Imperial Brother, have you returned with a decided result? When will you help us reclaim the Spring of Abortion?"

Tang Sanzang apologetically said, "Your Majesty, we cannot help you reclaim the Spring of Abortion."

The Queen of Women’s Country asked in surprise, "Brother Imperial Brother, why are they unwilling to help us? Is it because the Demon is too powerful?"

"The Queen, it is not a Demon that guards the Spring of Abortion now, but a Heavenly Court God. Allow this humble monk to explain further," said Tang Sanzang. ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel(ꜰ)ire.net

Tang Sanzang recounted what he knew, quietly observing the Queen of Women’s Country.

The Queen sat in the boat, her beautiful eyes glazed over, shocked, her mouth slightly agape, "Fake? Are all those mythological stories lies?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty," Tang Sanzang softly called out twice.

The Queen of Women’s Country regained her composure and said with a bitter smile, "I...I am a bit too shocked."

"Are you not worried that this poor monk is deceiving you?"

"I believe that the Saint Monk would never deceive me."

Tang Sanzang was moved and said, "Thank you for your trust, Your Majesty."

The Queen of Women’s Country secretly sighed, reasoning in her heart based on her understanding of the people of Women’s Country, that such a scenario was entirely possible. Not to mention long ago, even now it is very possible. The Holy River, which grants life, is held in the highest esteem in their hearts, and they would wish even in death to be buried in the Holy River.

Tang Sanzang advised, "Your Majesty, in order to avoid the recurrence of a past tragedy, I suggest that you abandon the attempt to reclaim the Spring of Abortion. It is most appropriate to leave it under the care of the Heavenly Gods."

The Queen of Women’s Country nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Imperial Brother, for your reminder. I will reveal the truth to the people of my country, so they can learn from the past."

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and said with relief, "Your Majesty is compassionate, truly a fortune for the Women’s Country."

The Queen of Women’s Country smiled cunningly and said, "Brother Imperial Brother, then I can’t take you to the Holy Temple."

Tang Sanzang’s smile stiffened, and he quickly pleaded, "Your Majesty, please save me. If I cannot go to the Holy Mother Temple, my child will surely die."

The Queen of Women’s Country looked at Tang Sanzang’s protruding belly, a blush appearing on her face, somewhat embarrassed, "There is actually one last option."

"Please enlighten me, Your Majesty."

"If you would marry me, I could pass the position of the Queen of Women’s Country to you, allowing you to honorably go to the Divine Temple."

Tang Sanzang was stunned and repeatedly waved his hands, exclaiming, "No, absolutely not!"

The monk, coming from the Eastern Tang in the East, serves the Tang King’s decree to go to the Western Heaven to obtain the True Scripture. How could I linger in the mortal world’s desires and quit halfway? Your Majesty mustn’t harbor such thoughts."

The Queen of Women’s Country stood up and sat next to Tang Sanzang, her slender jade hand resting on Tang Sanzang’s shoulder, and softly said: "Brother Imperial Brother, your disciples all have extraordinary abilities. Let them take on the heavy responsibility of obtaining the scriptures."

Tang Sanzang involuntarily shivered, feeling a wave of fragrance assault his senses and a numbing sensation where she touched, a stark contrast to when he touched Zhu Bajie and others, it could indeed be said to be as different as heaven and earth.

Tang Sanzang subconsciously lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, though they possess extraordinary abilities, they lack a devout Buddhist heart and cannot obtain the True Scripture, nor see the True Buddha."

"Brother Imperial Brother~" The Queen of Women’s Country almost lay on Tang Sanzang’s body, her coquettish and soft voice tunneling into his ear.

Having never been close to women since his birth, how could Tang Sanzang endure this ordeal? His body shook, and he quickly stood up and walked away a few steps, joining his hands and bowing his head, saying: "Queen Your Majesty, please uphold your dignity."

The Queen felt somewhat angry, and with a petulant hmph, she said: "Brother Imperial Brother, except for this way, there is no other way for you to enter the Divine Temple. Just give up on that idea!"

A electric current crossed Tang Sanzang’s heart; her coquettish expression was just too adorable, and he felt a moment’s infatuation. He quickly murmured in a low voice the Buddhist Scripture: "Guanyin Bodhisattva, while practicing the deep Prajnaparamita perceives that all five aggregates are empty and saves all suffering. Shariputra, form does not differ from emptiness, emptiness does not differ from form. The form is precisely emptiness, emptiness precisely form. Feelings, perceptions, volitions, and consciousness are also ..."

The Queen of Women’s Country’s ears twitched twice, turning her head and giggling, "Brother Imperial Brother, what are you reciting?"

"The Heart Sutra of Prajnaparamita, it purifies the soul."

The Queen of Women’s Country giggled again, "So, Brother Imperial Brother, is your heart unsettled? If so, why not stay here? Even if not for me, think about your child. Would you want her to endure the hardships of travel as you do?"

"Please tell this humble monk where the Holy Temple is, Your Majesty."

The Queen of Women’s Country playfully retorted, "No, not unless you agree to stay."

Tang Sanzang extended his hand, and a sphere appeared in his palm that unfolded around, saying: "Queen Your Majesty, I am willing to bring the Three Realms Mall into the Women’s Country; please lead us to the Divine Temple."

The Queen of Women’s Country curiously asked, "What is the Three Realms Mall?"

"The Three Realms Mall is a Magic Treasure that arose in the Eastern Tang, benefiting the Three Realms..."

"Brother Imperial Brother, you are too far away, I can’t hear clearly. Come sit closer." The Queen of Women’s Country beckoned with a smile as she called him over.

Tang Sanzang hesitated before sitting closer, a waft of fragrance entering his nostrils.

After nightfall, Tang Sanzang, with a swollen belly and under the light of the stars, returned under escort.

Inside the palace of Women’s Country, the Queen lay on a couch, browsing through the Three Realms Mall, amazed at the extensive range of goods.

"Brother Imperial Brother says I can only buy mortal world items now, but due to Women’s Country not covering delivery, they must be priced like Cultivator World items—such a loss!

There are so many great items here; I’ll start collecting Merit tomorrow and apply for express delivery setup.

After Tang Sanzang returned to the inn, Sun Wukong and the others all gathered around, with everyone converging in the room.

Sun Wukong asked anxiously, "Little monk, how did it go? Has the Queen of Women’s Country disagreed?"

Tang Sanzang nodded calmly and said, "She agreed, she’ll take us to the Divine Temple in the next few days."

Zhu Bajie added, "That’s good news! Master, why don’t you look happy?!"
