"How about it, Holy Monk? Have you decided? Do you wish to marry me?" Holding a trident, the Scorpion Demon, after defeating Sun Wukong, returned to the cave and asked Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu, completely bound by ropes and unable to move, watched the Scorpion Demon enter the cave with her weapon and asked, "With that weapon in your hand, it seems that if I refuse today, you plan to kill me, is that correct?"
"Where do you get such ideas, Holy Monk!?"
Hearing Jiang Liu's words, the Scorpion Demon quickly put away her trident, a smile appearing on her face as she said, "I had just chased away your eldest disciple, Sun Wukong; I hadn't had time to put away the weapon yet. My goal is to marry you, Holy Monk, to become a divine couple. Why would I harm you?"
"You are harming me right now being bound like this, I have never heard of marriages where one ties up the other..." Jiang Liu said, slightly relieved by the Scorpion Demon's words, but still shaking his head.
Fortunately, the Scorpion Demon only wanted to marry him and did not intend to harm him.
"But if I don't tie you up, I'm afraid you'll run away!" The Scorpion Demon shook her head, showing no intention of untying Jiang Liu.
During the conversation, her gaze landed on Jiang Liu, and she said softly, "Holy Monk, think about it for yourself. I'm so beautiful; even Chang'e, who is claimed as the most beautiful in all three realms, might not compare to me. What is so bad about marrying me and staying here together in the Pipa Cave?"
"I find it strange..." Jiang Liu's gaze fell on the Scorpion Demon as he asked, "Why are you so insistent on marrying me? We've just met for the first time, haven't we?"
"The King of Women's Kingdom also wanted to marry you, and you just met her for the first time too, didn't you? She can ask, why can't I?" While speaking, the Scorpion Demon sat down next to Jiang Liu, reaching out to gently caress him.
"Get away; you're ugly! Go away! You make me feel disgusted!" Jiang Liu snapped as he turned his head away while scolding the Scorpion Demon.
It's generally pleasing when men and women come together voluntarily, but being coerced is displeasing.
It's like picking one's nose; it feels good when you do it yourself leisurely, but what if someone, regardless of your willingness, rushes up and digs into your nostrils? Who would be happy about that?
"You..."
Thinking of herself as possessing peerless beauty in the three realms, the Scorpion Demon was infuriated by Jiang Liu's attitude.
However, after staring at Jiang Liu intently, she soon calmed her anger.
"Holy Monk, I know you're trying to anger me away. Well, since you're so unwilling, I'll think about it some more. But let me tell you, those disciples of yours have no ability to rescue you!" the Scorpion Demon confidently asserted.
Having said this, she paused, then continued, "I don't believe you can keep this up forever; I will make you submit willingly, just you wait and see!"
As her words fell, the Scorpion Demon turned and left the cave, apparently having thought of a plan.
...
Women's Kingdom, Royal Palace.
With a whoosh, Sun Wukong descended from the sky directly into the Eastern Hall.
After landing, Sun Wukong clasped his hand, crying out in pain.
"Monkey Brother, what's wrong!?" Seeing Sun Wukong fall and cry out in pain, even the usually lazy Zhu Bajie rushed over and asked.
Naturally, Sha Wujing followed suit.

"Amazing, that evil demon is truly formidable!"
Clutching his injured hand, Sun Wukong murmured, "That evil demon's methods are powerful; I alone could not match her. Even more frightening is that she possesses a strange Dharma Treasure that nearly pierced through my hand!"
"What!? That evil demon is so formidable!?" Hearing Sun Wukong's words, both Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were shocked, hardly believing their ears.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, the very figure who had caused Havoc in Heaven five hundred years ago, not even a Daluo Golden Immortal was sure they could defeat him.
Yet, in the Women's Kingdom, he was defeated by an unknown evil demon?
"Great Elder Brother, if even you alone are not her match, how about both of us lend you a hand?" Although surprised, Sha Wujing reacted quickly, pulling out his Blood-Transforming Divine Blade and suggesting.
"Right, Monkey Brother, the three of us brothers together, I just don't believe that evil demon can really be that formidable," Zhu Bajie also took out his Supreme Treasure Golden Rake and agreed.
Outnumbering the enemy? Honestly, Sun Wukong's brow furrowed slightly at Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing's words, reflexively wanting to refuse.
But if it were just about him, he would have refused without a second thought.
However, this concerned his master's life; if they were late, his master might suffer the demon's harm!
Considering that he was still unaware of his master's situation, Sun Wukong thought for a moment and finally nodded. Then, the disciples set out together.
"Elder Sun, did you not find the Imperial Brother?" At that moment, the King of Women's Kingdom came running over and said to Sun Wukong.
Having just descended from the sky, the King of Women's Kingdom naturally knew he had returned.
"I've found the Female Demon, but she's quite powerful, so the three of us will go together. Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to rescue Master!" Sun Wukong replied upon hearing the King of Women's Kingdom's words.
Now unsure of Master's life or death, Sun Wukong issued a reply and, disregarding the King of Women's Kingdom, moved swiftly. The three disciples soared through the clouds once again, flying towards Pipa Cave of Poison Enemy Mountain.

"The Female Demon, is she that formidable?" As she watched Sun Wukong and his brothers disappearing rapidly into the clouds, the King of Women's Kingdom pondered briefly before swiftly turning around.
"Someone, go and call the Great General!"
Initially, Sun Wukong had confidently claimed he could handle it alone, so the King of Women's Kingdom had remained in the Royal Palace waiting for his good news.
Who knew he wasn't her match and then had to drag his two brothers into the fray to lend a hand?
The King of Women's Kingdom could no longer contain herself.
"Your Majesty!" Following the words of the King of Women's Kingdom, soon, a Female General clad in armor appeared before her.
"Now, gather all the troops, and let us head out together to Pipa Cave of Poison Enemy Mountain!" the King of Women's Kingdom commanded, embodying the regal aura befitting a sovereign in earnest.
Witnessing the serious demeanor of the King, the Female General was secretly taken aback.
Mobilizing all the troops for a collective action?
However, seeing the stern expression on the King's face, the Female General nodded and, without wasting words in questioning, quickly sprang into action.
Inside the Royal City and the armies beyond it, following the commands of the Female General and the King, were swiftly mobilized. In just moments, they had assembled ten thousand troops.
The King of Women's Kingdom had no intention of just overseeing from the Royal Palace and personally led the ten thousand-strong Women's Army towards Pipa Cave of Poison Enemy Mountain.
An army composed entirely of women, indeed matching men in bravery and prowess.
...
At this moment, the Scorpion Demon stormed out of Jiang Liu's stone chamber, furious.
As she claimed, her only intent was to marry Holy Monk Xuanzang and not to harm him. Thus, despite Jiang Liu's disrespectful words making the Scorpion Demon very angry, she still harbored no intention to hurt him.
"To reject me, he even specifically said I was ugly!?"
Back in her own chamber, sitting in front of the mirror, she stared at her peerless beauty in the mirror and muttered quietly.
It must be said if Holy Monk Xuanzang had easily agreed to her, she would be happy but perhaps feel somewhat let down.
His staunch resistance, on the contrary, made the Scorpion Demon feel she had not misjudged the person!
"Hmph, Holy Monk, since you can't see sense, don't blame me for using measures!" After a moment of silence, suddenly, the Scorpion Demon pulled out an exquisite box from nearby.
Upon opening the box, inside lay a pink and a blue elixir.
"So, the Dragon and Phoenix Union Pill does come into play!" While the blue pill was merely an antidote, the Scorpion Demon's gaze primarily rested on the pink pill, her eyes slightly narrowing.
Having waited in Women's Kingdom for a long time, the Scorpion Demon was fully prepared.
If she could make Holy Monk Xuanzang willingly mate and marry her, nothing could be better.
But if he continued to resist intensely?
The Scorpion Demon had already considered such a scenario and hence, had prepared a Dragon and Phoenix Union Pill early on.
After pondering silently for a while, the Scorpion Demon solemnly stowed the pill away.
"Hmph, Holy Monk, as I said, I will make sure you comply!"
"Since you're unwilling, I'll just have to turn uncooked rice into cooked rice first!" she decided in her heart and, after securing the pill, she stood up and returned to Jiang Liu's stone chamber.
"Why have you come back!?" Jiang Liu, bound by ropes and unable to move, looked at the returning Scorpion Demon and asked curiously.
The Scorpion Demon did not speak, instead opening the box with the elixirs, holding the pink pill in her hand.
As for the box with the blue antidote? She casually placed it on a stone table nearby.
"Hey? What is that in your hand!?" Seeing the pink elixir in the Scorpion Demon's hand, Jiang Liu's complexion changed.
One could guess with their toes that this pill was nothing benevolent.
