Jiang Liu's words seemed to voice the doubts that lingered in everyone's hearts. Not only was he himself surprised by the enthusiasm of these female demons, but so were his companions Sun Wukong, White Dragon Horse, and Zhu Bajie, all equally baffled.
Everyone's gaze fell upon Second Sister Luan, curious about her response.
"Alas..."
Though the question was raised by Zhu Bajie, whom Second Sister Luan would naturally ignore, it was Jiang Liu who had asked, prompting her to let out a long, sorrowful sigh, as if it held endless bitterness.
Looking toward Jiang Liu, she said, "In truth, when Master Xuanzang made his vow to heaven, swearing to wed Princess Gaoyang, all of us with divine skills could perform the Concentration Calculation. Hence, my enthusiasm stems from admiring the depth of the Mage's love; the hardships faced on this journey of ten thousand and eight thousand miles surely cannot compare to even a fraction of the agony in one's heart, can they?"
Jiang Liu: "..."
