Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but feel a bit anxious as well. After all, Sun Wukong appeared quite worried about Xuanzang and now he was actually urging the monster to eat Xuanzang.
Zhu Bajie quickly understood that Sun Wukong was probably worried that the Golden-Winged Roc would use Xuanzang as a bargaining chip.
If they showed that they valued Xuanzang greatly, the Golden-Winged Roc would surely make exorbitant demands, taking advantage to assert many impudent requests; thus, without even starting a fight, they would already be at a disadvantage.
Realizing this, Zhu Bajie plopped down onto a cloud.
Then, with a nonchalant face, he said, "Old Pig has long wanted to return to Gao Laozhuang. This monk is rather a burden; you should hurry up and eat him!"
"Then Old Pig wouldn't have to go through all this trouble of seeking scriptures in the Western Heaven. After that, I can enjoy a carefree life!"
