"Boom!"
Just as Taotie was thunderstruck by Sun Wukong's act of devouring the tribulation clouds, the gates of the Doushui Palace slowly opened with a rumbling sound akin to thunder, followed by the calm and celestial voice of a man from within, "Since you're already here, come on in!"
"Hey! See, I told you the Supreme Elderly Lord would invite us in!"
With a chuckle, Sun Wukong flashed a look at Taotie and took the lead toward the opened gates of the Doushui Palace. Taotie opened his mouth as if to say something but ended up just smacking his lips and followed without a word. Sun Wukong's thoughts were as wild as a heavenly steed soaring across the skies, utterly unconventional, and it was better for himself to speak less, just follow along quietly, after all, there was no loss in doing so!
Upon entering the gate of the Doushui Palace, Sun Wukong did not wander around looking everywhere like Taotie, but followed the straight path leading directly inside.
