After a round of celebrations, the four master-disciple companions couldn't quite understand why the queen suddenly changed her attitude. Not only did she stop targeting them, but she even held a grand bonfire banquet.
On the vast square in front of the Royal Palace, a blazing bonfire was lit, illuminating the healthy, wheat-colored skin of the female warriors. The female warriors held hands, singing strange songs, which was quite a unique experience.
At this moment, the queen and several State Preceptors were hosting Master Xuanzang and his disciples; however, the seating arrangement was somewhat peculiar.
The one closest to the queen wasn't Master Xuanzang, but Sun Wukong, followed by Sha Wujing, Xuanzang, and then Zhu Bajie.
The queen raised a cup made from a beast's horn and said with sincerity, "You warriors possess extraordinary martial arts skills; you are definitely the strongest warriors I have ever seen."
