Chapter 1719
"Afterward, I descended directly to become the mountain king here, and later I personally took her to my cave. Now, Princess Baihua and I have been husband and wife for thirteen years."
"We even have a son and a daughter; this family happiness is truly wonderful."
Here, whether it was Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, or Marshal Tianpeng and General Wujing, upon hearing these words from the Yellow Robed Monster, they were all as if struck by lightning.
Tang Seng and Sun Wukong's party had considered many possibilities.
Perhaps the Yellow Robed Monster stole a Heavenly Court treasure and was demoted.
Perhaps the Yellow Robed Monster was greedy for the prosperity of the mortal world and descended to claim territory as a king.
In the end, after all that, it turned out the Yellow Robed Monster had descended just to be with his lover; they truly were a couple who envied only the mandarin ducks and not the immortals!
"Then, I wonder, Monster... Brother Kui, what is the reason you asked us to come here?"
As a monk, Tang Seng knew nothing of romance, so he was completely unclear about what was going on with the Yellow Robed Monster's actions.
Hearing this, the Yellow Robed Monster's face became somewhat awkward, and he began to narrate:
"I must inform the Holy Monk that although my wife, Princess Baihua, is an immortal reincarnated into the mortal world, this reincarnation caused her to lose the memories of her past life."
"Therefore, in order to be with my lover, I had to transform into a monster and capture Princess Baihua to this place."
"After all, I am one of the Twenty-Eight Mansions of the Heavenly Court; it would be bad if the mortals of the Baoxiang Kingdom saw through my true identity."
"It would affect the majesty of the Heavenly Court in the Baoxiang Kingdom. Moreover, I descended secretly; if the Heavenly Court found out, I fear neither Princess Baihua nor I would have a good end."
"But this led the Baoxiang Kingdom to believe that their Princess Baihua was captured by a monster. For all these years, they have never given up on rescuing her, often sending troops to find me..."
"So, my request is that I hope the Holy Monk and the Great Sage will pass a message to the King of Baoxiang Kingdom when you pass through."
"Verify my identity and explain the truth about why I took Princess Baihua, so that the Baoxiang Kingdom will no longer worry about this matter."
The Yellow Robed Monster had thought about this plan for an entire night, because he had to face Tang Seng and Sun Wukong's party no matter what.
The Yellow Robed Monster finally made up his mind to explain everything clearly.
After all, when it comes down to it, he had not harmed any mortals since descending, and even kept the surrounding monsters in check.
The only excessive thing he did was to abduct Princess Baihua, but there was a reason for that.
Therefore, the Yellow Robed Monster was not worried that Tang Seng, Sun Wukong, and the others would kill him.
And indeed, Tang Seng and Sun Wukong's party were moved after hearing these words from the Yellow Robed Monster.
However, Marshal Tianpeng looked at the Yellow Robed Monster with great confusion and said:
