Rebirth in Journey to the West: Sun Wukong-Chapter 636 - 637 Queen Lingxi (Fourth Update)

From Jiang Liu’er’s mouth, Sun Wukong learned of a secret unknown to others. In the past, after Fairy Chang’er was captured by the Demon Gods sent by Heavenly Emperor Di Jun and imprisoned in the Lunar Palace, she was forbidden from going to the mortal world and meeting Hou Yi. Later, Hou Yi died after being besieged by a host of Demon Gods, leaving Chang’er utterly heartbroken. Using her divine power, she clandestinely sent a clone of her divine soul down to the mortal world, hoping to find the remnants of Hou Yi’s soul.

However, due to a mishap, this clone of Fairy Chang’er’s divine soul did not reach the mortal world, but was instead absorbed into the Six Paths of Reincarnation created by Houtu, and after an endless cycle of reincarnations, she was born in this lifetime as King Lingxi of the Women’s Kingdom.

If it had been Tang Seng of the previous life, who was obsessively determined to seek the True Scripture for True Fruition at the Western Heaven Spiritual Mountain, even the beautiful appearance of Queen Lingxi would not have held any allure for him. But this lifetime was different.

Jiang Liu’er had already had marital relations with Fairy Chang’er, albeit through the body controlled by Hou Yi, but Jiang Liu’er experienced all of Hou Yi’s feelings as if they were his own. Seeing Fairy Chang’er’s reincarnated divine soul clone become Queen Lingxi, with her wholehearted devotion to him, it was impossible for Jiang Liu’er to restrain himself, so being infatuated and confused was understandable.

For a moment, Sun Wukong didn’t know what to say, and after a long sigh, he said, “Jiang Liu’er, I know it’s hard for you to suppress the love in your heart, but now is not the time for romance! It’s not that I’m against you and Queen Lingxi being together, but you two can only share a mutual understanding. You absolutely cannot engage in marital relations, after all, she’s now a mere mortal!”

“Your primordial yang has been compromised, but it was with Fairy Chang’er, which is why you could retain your Merit Golden Body without leakage. However, if you have relations with this Queen Lingxi, the Merit Golden Body’s spiritual energy will surely leak, and it will become difficult to bear more merit and destiny. Moreover, Buddha would immediately notice, and your quest for the scriptures to gain merit would be ruined, do you understand?”

Sun Wukong spoke with a grave expression, these words were not meant to scare Jiang Liu’er. In order for the Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures to be successful, and to smoothly obtain the merit and destiny bestowed by Heavenly Dao, he had no choice but to harshly break up the pair!

“I understand!”

A hint of desolation crossed Jiang Liu’er’s face. He was certainly the most aware of his own condition. Strictly speaking, his union with Fairy Chang’er didn’t result in the loss of his primordial yang; in fact, it had enhanced him quite a bit. But if he were to have relations with Lingxi, it would certainly result in the loss of primordial yang, and his Merit Golden Body would be affected and no longer intact, thus preventing him from bearing more merit and destiny, just as Sun Wukong said!

“Don’t worry, Great Saint. That was a momentary lapse on my part, and such a mistake won’t happen again!”

After a moment of silence, Jiang Liu’er looked up, his eyes showing strong reluctance, but he still clenched his teeth and said, “I will cut ties with her completely, and I won’t let it jeopardize the quest for scriptures!”

“Actually, it doesn’t have to be so absolute!”

Sun Wukong smiled and shook his head, “I’m only against you becoming husband and wife with Queen Lingxi right now, not against you two being in love. Our Demon Cult doesn’t have those nonsensical rules and regulations of the Buddhist Sect. Desire between men and women is human nature; why suppress it?”

“So, Great Saint, you mean…”

Jiang Liu’er was somewhat confused. What exactly did Sun Wukong mean? Was he for or against it?

“Let’s put it this way, you and Queen Lingxi can be in love, but you can’t be intimate. You must continue your Journey to the West to Seek Scriptures! Once all is settled and the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court is rebuilt, not only will I grant you the merit and true fruition you deserve, but I will also hold a grand wedding for you, letting you and Queen Lingxi, two people in love, finally become a married couple. How does that sound?”

Once the Scripture Seeking mission is successful and the Heavenly Dao’s merit and destiny have been obtained to establish the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court, Hou Yi’s physical body can be condensed based on Jiang Liu’er’s form using the merit and destiny. By then, Hou Yi will certainly be paired with Fairy Chang’er, leaving Jiang Liu’er alone would seem too cruel. It will be just right to officiate the marriage between Jiang Liu’er and Queen Lingxi then, pairing them together.

Although Queen Lingxi was once a clone of Fairy Chang’er’s divine soul reincarnated, she has since gone through countless reincarnations and has already become an independent being, with no need to merge with Chang’er again. It’s perfect to match her with Jiang Liu’er, creating a joyous situation for all.

“Great Saint, are you serious?”

“Of course, I’m serious. When have I ever gone back on my word?”

Jiang Liu’er initially thought Sun Wukong would force him to break up with Queen Lingxi, feeling immensely reluctant and dejected. Hearing Sun Wukong’s words, his eyes suddenly lit up. It’s just that they can’t conduct marital rites now, what’s the issue?

After the Demon Clan’s Heavenly Court is established following the successful seeking of scriptures, there will be plenty of time for him and Queen Lingxi to be together. Sun Wukong’s arrangement could be described as quite appropriate!

Immediately, Jiang Liu’er respectfully performed a great bow to thank Sun Wukong. Then he descended back into the palace with Sun Wukong, who waved his hand and lifted the seal on Queen Lingxi.

“Who are you? Why have you harmed me?”

As soon as Queen Lingxi regained her ability to move, she looked at Sun Wukong with eyes full of vigilance, about to call her guards, but Jiang Liu’er stopped her.

“Lingxi, don’t panic, the Great Saint won’t harm us!”

Right away, Jiang Liu’er explained in detail the relationship and agreement between him and Sun Wukong to Queen Lingxi, leaving her stunned.

But this Queen Lingxi was no ordinary woman; she quickly recovered from her astonishment and bowed gracefully to Sun Wukong. She didn’t care whether Jiang Liu’er was a monk of the Buddhist Sect or a disciple of the Demon Cult. In her opinion, it was even better that Jiang Liu’er was from the Demon Cult because then they wouldn’t need to follow the strict rules and precepts of Buddhism!

As long as she could eventually be with Jiang Liu’er, what was the harm in waiting a bit longer?
