Chapter 2209: Is Bajie about to be left behind?

"There's no other way now. How about this, Master, why don't you just give birth to the child, and I'll go find you a midwife?"

The old woman really knew how to hit a sore spot, and she added another remark.

"Hahahaha!" Sun Wukong could no longer hold it in. He clutched his stomach and laughed, saying, "Bajie, you're going to be a dad!"

Zhu Bajie glared at Sun Wukong, then grabbed an incense burner from the bedside table and hurled it directly at him. He said furiously, "Bimawen! You're still mocking me! It's all your fault—why didn't you say something sooner!"

Sun Wukong dodged the incense burner with a flash of his body. He then calmed his emotions and said, "Alright, actually, I only just remembered. I didn't realize before that this was the Daughter River."

Sun Wukong did not tell the others about Wu Feng's warning; after all, that was a secret between them.

In truth, the Kalpa Tribulation had ultimately changed in the unseen depths of fate. Originally, the travelers on the journey west had no idea this was the Daughter River. According to the original trajectory of fate, Tang Sanzang, General Juan Lian, and Marshal Tianpeng would all have drunk the river water and become pregnant, with only Sun Wukong abstaining.

But the current situation was that, because of Wu Feng's warning, Tang Sanzang and General Juan Lian had not drunk it. Zhu Bajie, however, had been so thirsty and moved so quickly that he was the only one to drink the water before Wu Feng could speak up to stop him.

"Bajie, if you truly give birth to this child, your affinity with the Buddha will be severed here. Perhaps you should just stay in the Women's Kingdom."

Tang Sanzang's eyes were filled with contemplation as he suddenly spoke.

Zhu Bajie, originally sweating profusely from the pain and feeling weak and exhausted, truly had not expected Tang Sanzang to say such a thing.

"Master, I have escorted you all the way west to this point. If I have no merit, surely I have at least suffered? Are you driving me away now?"

"And you—you were the one who let this plague of a monkey capture me from Gao Village back then. Cuilan is probably married by now, and I can't go back. What do you expect me to do?"

Marshal Tianpeng endured the pain in his abdomen and looked at Tang Sanzang, saying.

"Once you give birth to the child, go back early. Perhaps Gao Cuilan isn't married yet. You can just treat this child as the one belonging to both of you."

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and said without a second thought.

"Monkey, what do you mean by that? I revealed my true form in front of my father-in-law—wasn't that all forced by you? Do you think my father-in-law's family would still accept me?"

Marshal Tianpeng looked at Sun Wukong, his eyes filled with extreme anger.

"So that means the Second Senior Brother still can't forget Gao Cuilan, is that how it should be understood?"

General Juan Lian stroked his chin, seizing the opportunity to twist the knife.

"Fine, fine, fine! So that's what you all mean, is it? If that's the case, just take a knife and kill this freak in my womb right now!"

Marshal Tianpeng appeared extremely furious. Now that he was the only one who had drunk the river water, he felt a sense of being abandoned.

It could be said that he hadn't been willing to go on the journey to the west originally, but now, he had no other choice. It seemed that only by following Guanyin's words and obtaining the scriptures could he complete his tribulation in the mortal world.

Now, because he had drunk the Daughter River water and become pregnant, it seemed this team of scripture-seekers was going to abandon him. ===== CHAPTER 2211 =====
