Recalling previous difficulties, he immediately had an idea. He wanted to get the thing but couldn't take the blame himself!
"Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey!"
After a lot of fuss, one fruit fell to the ground, and the group was finally able to eat the Ginsengfruit to their heart's content.
Zhu Bajie, after eating one, only felt a surge of Spiritual Energy. If he went back to cultivate for a while, his Mana would certainly increase significantly. So, he used the excuse that he didn't taste much to try and get Sun Wukong to fetch a couple more.
He knew that someone else would take the blame, and whether he ate one or two, it wouldn't matter, so why not eat more to restore his cultivation?
But his whining was overheard by Qingfeng and Ming Yue, who became even more furious. They had always been defaming their generous second master, and now they were eating stolen fruit?
At Wuzhuang Temple, they'd never seen someone so brazen!
Upon turning around, they found four fruits missing.
