Yunxiao City, a group of people were also witnessing a historical moment.

After the illusion on the statue dissipated, the blush on Jade-faced Fox's face took a long time to fade.

"Hmph..."

Bull Demon King roared in fury, smashing his wine cup to the ground.

"To be a demon is preferable to impersonating a human!"

He got up and said.

The gazes of the others were drawn over.

"Bull Demon King, Great King has no desire to become human."

Long Armed Ape Monkey said coldly, "This is merely a strategy!"

"Strategy or not, it's unacceptable!"

Bull Demon King shouted: "As a demon, one should be forthright and dignified, why should one be so humbly accommodating?"

"Big brother."

The other Demon Saints saw the situation was amiss and quickly held him back, preventing him from saying more.

"You're just jealous."

Demon King Ao Luan whispered in Bull Demon King's ear, "Even if Sister-in-law's face is flushed, don't expect Great Saint with his ironclad heart to take an interest in her."

Bull Demon King was stunned and gradually calmed down.

"That's true."

He was indeed blinded by rage.

Sun Wukong was open-minded and ambitious, aiming to excel within the Three Realms; it was impossible for him to have a relationship with Jade-faced Fox.

"My apologies."

Bull Demon King apologized to everyone and sat down to sulkily drink once more.

After watching this scene, Immortal Zhen Yuan turned his head and said to Jin Chanzi, "Why don't you stand up and roar a bit?"

Jin Chanzi was puzzled: "What should this poor monk roar about?"

"Of course, about my worthy brother's appearance."

Zhen Yuan said: "Your title as the second most handsome man in Wanling Country is about to be taken away by him."

Jin Chanzi looked coldly at Immortal Zhen Yuan: "And who's the first?"

"Naturally, it's me."

Immortal Zhen Yuan declared: "In 109 contests in Wanling Country, I've won 55 times, and you've only won 54."

"Isn't that invalid then?"

Daji, who was beside them, interjected: "Emperor Donghua hasn't participated even once."

"…Enough nonsense."

Immortal Zhen Yuan glared at her.

Daji pouted and then looked at the statue.

"The statue of Great King really isn't good."

He himself is a hundred times better looking than the statue.

"Right, where's Ao Luan?"

Daji continued to inquire: "Wasn't she here just a moment ago?"

"A Human Clan woman flew back just now."

Long Armed Ape Monkey replied: "It seems she was brought back by Great King's magic, and Miss Ao Luan went to greet her."

"What!"

Everyone was shocked.

Sun Wukong had just transformed into a human form, and so quickly he abducted a Human Clan woman back?

Daji stood up.

"I must go see for myself."

She rose into the clouds and flew in the direction of Shuilian Cave.

The others, also curious, followed suit.

"You say who could that deity be, for Great King to personally bring her back?"

"Not sure about the deity, but that woman is as good as dead."

Water Virtues Star Monarch stated.

Everyone thought of Ao Luan and agreed profoundly.

But when they arrived at Huaguo Mountain, they saw Ao Luan taking care of a fainting woman outside Shuilian Cave.

Everyone was somewhat surprised.

"Ao Luan."

Curious, Daji asked: "Who is she?"

Ao Luan shook her head: "I do not know."

"She is a princess from the Southern Continent."

Sun Wukong stepped out of Shuilian Cave.

In that instant, everyone's breaths seemed to halt.

Sun Wukong saw their expressions and remembered that he was still in human form.

He reverted back to his original appearance and said: "This princess of the Human King, I was entrusted by someone to bring her back."

"Ao Luan."

Sun Wukong spoke to Ao Luan: "Take good care of her for now, and do not let her come into contact with demons for the time being. She has a weak heart and can be easily frightened."

Ao Luan nodded: "Understood."

Everyone exchanged surprised glances, wondering why Ao Luan wasn't jealous.

"Great King, by whose commission are you working?"

Daji asked Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong thought for a moment and decided it wasn't a secret, so he simply explained.

Everyone suddenly realized: "So it's that lad."

The four elder monkeys were somewhat angry: "Such a heartless and ungrateful person, why would Great King still help him?"

"He is not without heart."

Ao Luan, recalling the boy's eyes, sighed: "That child must love her too much."

Sun Wukong looked at her, asking, "Does she love that child?"

"I think..."

Ao Luan paused: "At least she does now, I suppose."

Sun Wukong slightly frowned.

Ao Luan looked at Sun Wukong, looked into his eyes.

She finally understood why she felt the boy and Sun Wukong were so alike.

It was a very rare trait in the world.

But one was small love, and the other was great love.

"Perhaps, brother, you have long been enlightened in the ways of affection..."

Ao Luan thought to herself.

Contrary to what most believed, Sun Wukong had long understood love.

From the beginning, he knew love, deeper than anyone, grander than anyone.

"I need to go to the Northern Continent."

Without much thought, Sun Wukong suddenly spoke out.

"What are you going to do in the Northern Continent?"

Others were perplexed.

"The True Martial Emperor invited me."

Sun Wukong replied.

At the moment he changed the faith of the Human Clan, for some reason he sensed some thoughts of the True Martial Emperor and had to make the trip.

"Ao Luan, she is now in your care."

Sun Wukong entrusted the woman to Ao Luan.

Ao Luan nodded in agreement, watching Sun Wukong transform into a golden light and depart.

"Ao Luan, are you not feeling well?"

Daji inquired of Ao Luan.

"Not feeling well?"

Ao Luan was somewhat astonished: "No, not at all."

"Then why are you so calm?"

Daji asked.

When Sun Wukong transformed into his human form, Ao Luan should have had the strongest reaction.

Yet she exhibited nothing, showed no jealousy towards the woman, which was indeed strange.

"Don't you like the Great King?"

Daji pressed on.

It was only then that Ao Luan understood what Daji was getting at.

"You don't understand yet."

She said soberly: "You will understand in time."

Daji was instantly confused.

As were the others.

It was only Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad in the heavens who, upon seeing this scene on the earth, revealed a smile.

"Lord, why do you smile?"

The Queen Mother beside him asked.

"Why does Your Majesty feign ignorance?"

Lord Lao Zi responded: "This child, able to accommodate the Heavenly Emperor, can certainly be the Heavenly Empress."

Ao Luan had already possessed the qualities of the Heavenly Empress.

That was love.

"The more powerful one is, the more humble one can be."

Lord Lao Zi shook his head, then turned and left.

Those words, which seemed almost proverbial, lingered long in the ears of the Queen Mother.

Rather than praising Ao Luan, it seemed more like the words were intentionally directed at her.

Leaning on her cane, the Queen Mother looked at the distant sky, then suddenly sighed and threw herself from the clouds.

The Jade Emperor had fallen long ago, and only now had she finally understood why he chose to end his own life.

The answer was simple, because he loved the Three Realms.

Because of love, he could give up everything.

"If this is the world you chose."

The Queen Mother looked at the mortal world about to disappear, and quietly closed her eyes.

"Then I will embrace it, just as you did."

Following after the Jade Emperor, she chose to embrace the mortal world.

So that one day, she might return with that person once more.
