Because of the pregnancy, it was not advisable for Jiang Liu to fight, so he did not go into any dungeons that whole night. Instead, he sat cross-legged and quietly cultivated the Green Lotus Taoist Scripture.

A night of cultivation yielded quite a number of Experience Points.

However, as daylight broke, Jiang Liu touched his belly and could clearly feel it had grown larger.

"What's going on? Even for a pregnant woman, the belly shouldn't inflate like a balloon and swell up so quickly, right?" After touching his belly, Jiang Liu's face changed, and he was utterly bewildered.

But thinking it through, during the original story, it seemed that not much time had elapsed between drinking the water from the Child-Mother River and then from the Abortion Spring.

Yet, didn't everyone's belly seem to grow quite a bit?

"So, for ordinary people, pregnancy takes ten months, but with the water from the Child-Mother River, could it be incredibly fast? Perhaps only ten days or half a month, or even less time is needed!?"

Considering the situation in the original story and combining it with his own belly growing larger overnight, Jiang Liu came to a startling conclusion.

With this conclusion in mind, Jiang Liu became naturally anxious. He immediately got up and also roused his disciples to wash up and hit the road quickly in search of the Abortion Spring.

"Um, Master, could it just be your imagination!? My belly, old pig that I am, doesn't feel any bigger!" Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Zhu Bajie seemed as if he desperately wanted to continue sleeping.

"You blockhead, your belly is already so big, how much bigger can it get!?" Sun Wukong cursed in annoyance at Zhu Bajie's words.

Then he grabbed Zhu Bajie's ear and forced him to get up.

Compared to Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong was short and thin, so after his belly grew, he felt it most acutely.

And for that very reason, Sun Wukong was also in a hurry, wishing he could find the Abortion Spring that very moment.

Who is he? The Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, right? A character restless without fighting every couple of days, but now pregnant? Unable to fight more and more as time goes by? How could Sun Wukong bear that?

"Alright, enough talking, let's hurry up and eat breakfast so we can get on the road!" With a tight schedule ahead, Jiang Liu kept breakfast very simple today—a bowl of noodles for each, which he finished quickly and efficiently before continuing the journey, having packed up the Exquisite Immortal Mansion.

Normally, Jiang Liu would ride on the back of the White Dragon Horse, but now that even he was pregnant, he couldn't bear to sit on it anymore.

Therefore, Sha Wujing led the horse, and the master and disciples continued to head west.

Without any intention to dawdle, the group's pace was much quicker than before.

Yet, after just half an hour of travel, seven or eight women soldiers wearing armor and wielding spears suddenly appeared, blocking Jiang Liu and his company.

"Stop right there, you evil demons! You dare to appear in broad daylight!?"

After halting Jiang Liu and his companions, these women soldiers, despite regarding Zhu Bajie and the others as demons, showed no fear on their faces. Instead, they sternly scolded Jiang Liu and his group.

"Wow! Women soldiers..." Upon seeing the women soldiers, Zhu Bajie's eyes lit up. He quickly stepped forward a few paces, eyeing them carefully, his eyes gleaming.

"I've never seen so many women soldiers before. To say the least, these women, dressed in armor, look valiant and have a unique charm!"

"You demon! Seeking death!" Hearing Zhu Bajie's words and seeing his repulsive manner, the women soldiers' pretty faces grew fierce, and their spears vibrated in their hands.

"Wait, wait, no need to start fighting. Old Pig here might not be good-looking, but I've got a kind heart..."

As the women soldiers appeared fierce and ready to fight, Zhu Bajie hastened to say.

After saying that, Zhu Bajie addressed the leading woman soldier: "You know, you are beautiful and look dashing in your military attire, but you all have one flaw—do you know what it is? It's lacking me!"

"Do you know? I, Old Pig, have been doing quite well, but after seeing you, I felt harmed by you. Do you know what harm you've done to me? You've made me fall for you!"

"Right, this is my master Xuanzang, on a Journey to the West to seek scriptures, but I, Old Pig, want to marry you!"

...

There was a time when Jiang Liu casually taught Zhu Bajie eighty-one cheesy pickup lines, which Zhu Bajie now had memorized perfectly. Now, in the Women's Kingdom, with several young and beautiful women soldiers making their appearance, Zhu Bajie felt the cheesy pickup lines he had armed himself with for so long could finally come into play.

```

Corny love phrases spewed out one after another, without even pausing to catch a breath.

While corny love phrases can be quite effective in flirting, their success is typically limited to interactions between men and women who already have a mutual attraction.

There's a saying, when an attractive man spouts corny love lines, he's flirting, but when an unattractive man does it, it's harassment...

Zhu Bajie was feeling rather good about himself, dishing out one corny phrase after the next without any hesitation. To the female soldiers of the Women's Kingdom, listening to a pig continuously spewing these lines, they found it utterly disgusting, their expressions turning sour.

Unconsciously, their grips on their weapons tightened.

Yet, among these corny lines, some of the more perceptive ones caught a particular detail in Zhu Bajie's ramblings.

"Wait a second..." one of the female soldiers interrupted Zhu Bajie, demanding, "What did you just say? Did you say you're on a journey to the Western Heaven to seek scriptures?"

"Indeed! However, as I've said, my master is the one seeking scriptures in the Western Heaven, while I, Old Pig, wish to marry you all!"

After being interrupted, Zhu Bajie felt even better, thinking his words had taken effect, as he nodded and replied.

"You? Are you the Holy Monk Xuanzang!?" At that moment, the attention of all the female soldiers shifted onto Jiang Liu, as they stared at him intently and asked.

"Amitabha, indeed I am Xuanzang, acting on the will of the Emperor of Tang and the Bodhisattva to pay homage to the Buddha and seek scriptures in the Western Heaven!"

In an instant, being gazed upon by seven or eight vibrant and beautiful female soldiers with fervent eyes, Jiang Liu was taken aback. Nevertheless, he brought his palms together and, with a humble and polite demeanor, he answered.

"Wow, is it really the Holy Monk Xuanzang? The living Holy Monk Xuanzang!?" Upon Jiang Liu's polite and humble response, the eyes of the female soldiers brightened, fixating on him.

Even several of them were so excited they were nearly jumping for joy.

In short, the way Zhu Bajie had looked at them was now reciprocated by how these female soldiers were staring at Jiang Liu.

"What's going on here!?" Seeing these female soldiers he had never met before acting like overzealous fans meeting a megastar, Jiang Liu was thoroughly confused.

It was his first time in the Women's Kingdom, and apparently, he was quite the sensation?

"Wait, don't get too excited just yet, what if he's an impostor?" Although some soldiers were extremely excited, there were others who were more levelheaded, speaking out.

"How long has it been since a man has come to our Women's Kingdom? Would any ordinary man dare to come?"

"Exactly, he said he is on a mission from the Emperor of Tang and the Bodhisattva to seek scriptures in the Western Heaven—a detail not commonly known by others."

"Even if he's a fake, such a handsome and courteous young monk... I still like him a lot!"

...

"You lovesick fool, calm down, everyone!" One of the calmer female soldiers glared at her companions, who were infatuatedly staring at Jiang Liu, and said testily, also collecting herself. Then she took a deep breath, turned around, and walked over to Jiang Liu.

Yet, although the soldier tried to calm herself down, as she approached Jiang Liu and saw his handsome features up close, her face grew redder, and her voice involuntarily softened a great deal. "May I ask, Holy Monk Xuanzang, do you have any proof, any credentials, to verify your identity?"

"Oh, this is my Travel Permit Plaque. You may have a look..."

Upon being questioned by the female soldier, and needing to obtain a new Travel Permit Plaque to pass through the Women's Kingdom, Jiang Liu retrieved the documents from his robe.

Seeing Jiang Liu produce such items, seemingly verifying his identity even further, the female soldier's cheeks flushed as she set her spear aside and took the Travel Permit Plaque with both hands.

Ying ying.

As she took the Plaque, her delicate fingers brushed against Jiang Liu's palm, causing her face to turn an even deeper shade of red, as if she had been electrified by the slightest touch.

After taking the Travel Permit Plaque, the soldier opened it and looked inside.

Indeed, it listed all the nations Jiang Liu had passed through on his journey westward, each with its own unique stamp.

"It really is the Holy Monk Xuanzang! I, on behalf of the Women's Kingdom, welcome the Holy Monk's arrival!" After personally validating the Travel Permit Plaque and confirming Jiang Liu's identity, the female soldier solemnly returned the document to Jiang Liu, her own demeanor turning excited.

Her excitement made her speech somewhat faltering.

Zhu Bajie: "..."

Despite all the cheesy lines he had spoken, he still couldn't compare to his master who had done nothing at all.

Watching the female soldiers surround his master like doting birds, Zhu Bajie's eyes filled with envy.
