Chapter 2290
Under the healing Buddha light of the ruined temple's wooden fish, Sun Wukong finally woke up slowly, his eyes filled with shock as he looked at everything before him.
Ning Yin looked at Die Lan and said, "My dear, let's go back."
"We have been separated for thirteen years; now that I have returned, it is for the sake of our son."
Die Lan's eyes flickered as he stared blankly at Ning Yin and said, "Do you have a way?"
Ning Yin looked into Die Lan's eyes and nodded very earnestly.
As he spoke, Ning Yin raised his hand, and a gust of wind and snow swirled over to beneath the frozen Leng Hua, gently lifting him up.
"Then let's go, we must hurry to the palace of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom; they don't know our situation yet."
Fahai walked to Sun Wukong's side, helped him up, and said.
The few people in the ruined house all nodded, then rose and left.
At this time, in the back garden of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, Tang Seng stood on a stone bridge, looking at the calm pond water with a furrowed brow.
"Since we left that ruined house, Sun Wukong has been there all by himself."
"Fahai and Die Lan rushed over three or four hours ago; I wonder how things turned out?"
Tang Seng said, as if talking to himself.
Standing beside him was the Queen of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom. She looked at Tang Seng, her eyes misting over, and said, "Elder Sun and Master Fahai are both very powerful, and Die Lan has gone to persuade Leng Hua; I believe there should be no trouble."
Tang Seng turned his head to glance at her and said, "I hope so."
Just at this moment, their gazes met again. In that instant, the spring tide flooded the Queen's eyes, and Tang Seng, seeing such a look, instantly blushed.
The Queen seemed to realize her loss of composure; she lowered her head and took something from her waist.
It was a sachet wrapped in embroidered silk, with an extremely delicate pattern sewn onto it.
"Brother Imperial Brother, please accept this."
The Queen looked at Tang Seng and said very earnestly.
Tang Seng was stunned for a moment and said, "This poor monk is a person who has left the secular world; such an item is truly not suitable for me to carry."
The Queen's hand froze in mid-air. Her eyes showed some disappointment, but a flash of thought crossed them, and she said again, "Brother Imperial Brother, if Fahai and Die Lan can stop Leng Hua's actions this time, and Sun Wukong is also safe and sound, will you be leaving the Western Liang Women's Kingdom?"
Tang Seng naturally understood the meaning behind her words. To be honest, since stepping onto this path to the West, he had never been pursued so fiercely by a woman.
In the days they had spent together, the Queen always found opportunities to get close to him, caring deeply about his every expression and smile, clearly seeing only him in her eyes.
He had never faced such a situation. Just at this moment, a begonia flower by the pond, which had already lost all its leaves, actually had one blossom swaying in the wind.
Begonias were originally flowers of spring and should not have appeared in late autumn, yet this one begonia bloomed precisely in late autumn.
The begonia flower could not withstand the cold wind; it drifted from the withered branch and landed on the pond, breaking the calm surface of the water.
Tang Seng's heart at this moment was just like that pond, rippling with waves.
He let out a long sigh and said, "Your Majesty the Queen, this poor monk is merely a monk; you really don't need to be like this toward me."
An answer that did not address the question, yet clearly stated Tang Seng's attitude.
The Queen stared blankly at him and said, "Then Brother Imperial Brother, may I ask, in this world, is it not enough for love to be mutual?"
