The Bluebird sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Thank you for your kindness, Great Saint, but I must return. The Queen Mother has shown me great favor, and even at the cost of my life, I cannot abandon her."
After speaking, she bowed to Sun Wukong and glanced at the White Tiger before continuing, "Great Saint, I entrust the White Tiger to your care. Do not let her return to Kunlun. Though the White Tiger is powerful, she's too naive and can easily be exploited by evildoers. I can rest easy only if she stays by your side, Great Saint."
The White Tiger showed a reluctant expression and clung to the Bluebird, unwilling to let her go.
Although the White Tiger was naive, she could sense that the Bluebird was prepared to face death.
In truth, bringing the White Tiger to Huaguo Mountain was a grave crime already.
The Queen Mother of the West would surely punish her, and for a Celestial Immortal like her, severe punishment would most likely mean death.
