"Leave? I never once considered fleeing."
Sun Wukong shook his head indifferently. Initially, he had no intention of lending a hand; Duanmu Bai had been mocking him all along the way, and neither Huang Zhen nor the other two stood up for him. Only after they reached the Myriad Beast Mountains, when Sun Wukong ceased to tolerate Duanmu Bai and openly confronted him, did Huang Zhen step in twice to prevent internal strife within the team. In Sun Wukong's view, she hadn't done so for his sake but purely to prevent the team from suffering losses.
However, when Huang Zhen threw herself at the Scorpion Tiger, urging him to flee and trying to buy his escape with her life, Sun Wukong felt somewhat moved. Perhaps this woman wasn't as cold as she appeared to be; she did have some sense of compassion after all. With that in mind, he decided to step in and lend them a hand!
"Swoosh!"
