The Qi Jue Palace is the most important place in the entire Qi Jue Mountain. It is heavily guarded and has thousands of demon soldiers. However, the three monkeys are very powerful and no one discovered them when they hid in the main hall.
Sun Wukong used a trick to confuse the city lord and found out the location of the city lord. He walked over with Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng in a swagger. As a result, when he opened the door, he saw the Snake Queen sitting in the right seat.
Snake Princess had been chatting with Duke a few days ago. After a few exercises, there were still many documents to be processed. She was staying up all night to review them. When she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, she raised her eyebrows and asked, "Where are you three monsters from? Why do you dare to break in here?"
Snake Princess usually wears a red python robe, with her long black hair piled high and a phoenix hairpin tilted on one side. Her skin is as white as jade and her figure is charming. Although her face is as cold as ice, she is still a first-class beauty.
Zhu Bajie's eyes widened and he swallowed his saliva in frustration. He thought to himself that it was good to have a city. Gao Cuilan was nothing. She was comparable to the fairy Chang'e.
Snake Queen snorted coldly, not looking at Zhu Bajie's ugly appearance, and directly asked Sun Wukong, who was leading the group: "I asked you a question, why didn't you answer it?"
Snake Queen had a strong aura, just like a queen in power. Sun Wukong was sharp-eyed, and he had seen through that Snake Queen was a demon, not a human. He saw Snake Queen reviewing documents in the hall, and immediately bowed: "You are wearing a python robe, could you be the lord of Qijue City?"
Snake Princess nodded: "Yes, I am the rule of Qijue City!"

How could Snake Princess let herself be led by a monkey? She was used to being strong, so she said coldly, "For the last time, I'll ask you who those three people are?"
"You naughty monkey, you dare to cause trouble in my territory!" Duke said as he threw Sun Wukong back.
Snake Queen looked disdainful after hearing this. Each of the Seven Great Sages was more shameless than the other. The Bull Demon King was like this, the Jiao Demon King and the Peng Demon King were like this, and so was Sun Wukong. She didn't want to embarrass Tang Seng and his party, but she was annoyed that Duke always hung out with the Bull Demon King and the others, so she took out her anger on Sun Wukong and didn't want to make things easy for him.
Sun Wukong bared his teeth and said, "Female demon, I am also a top figure in the demon tribe, and you won't even give me this little bit of face?"
Snake Princess frowned and said, "The king has never been involved in external affairs. I am in charge of all matters in the city. Just tell me what you want to say."
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Hundreds of demon soldiers inside and outside the hall shouted in unison.
Snake Princess raised her eyebrows and shouted, "You are such a great Monkey King. Even after becoming a monk, you still have a vicious nature. I will punish you today!"
Snake Queen ignored him and slapped the documents on the table. Hundreds of demon soldiers in helmets and armor rushed over and surrounded the three people. "Listen carefully, the three of you. In this Qijue City, no matter who you are, you must abide by the rules here. You broke into the palace tonight, and I won't fight with you. If you do it again, you will be punished severely."
Seeing that Snake Queen was not moved, Sun Wukong was secretly annoyed: "How arrogant! You keep saying rules here and there. Do you really think I'm easy to fool? Isn't it you who has the final say on the rules?"
Sun Wukong secretly groaned in his heart. He didn't know Duke and couldn't establish a relationship with him. Besides, Duke was a better fighter than him and might not take the title of the Monkey King seriously.
Seeing that the Snake Queen didn't give him any face, Sun Wukong immediately took out his stick and beat back the surrounding demon soldiers. He knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to kill them, or maybe he was afraid of Tang Monk's tight hoop, so although the demon soldiers were seriously injured, they didn't die.
Old Niu is so arrogant that he actually wrote a note. This city lord must have a complicated background...
"You broke the rules first, but now you come to me to make connections. If I open the door to convenience, wouldn't it be breaking the rules of the city? How can I discipline others in the future? Besides, the punishment is just a few days of labor, and the Tang Dynasty monks don't care. Are you afraid of losing face?"
Sun Wukong felt a toothache and said, "You are such an ignorant woman, I will not argue with you. Just listen carefully. I am Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. These two are my junior brothers."
The three monkeys were in the wrong, so they flew away from the palace on a cloud. The main reason was that they could not win the battle, and the monkeys had no other choice.
Zhu Bajie took a deep breath, which made his belly look smaller, and added: "I am the reincarnation of Marshal Tianpeng, who is in charge of 80,000 Tianhe naval forces. This is my junior fellow apprentice monk Sha!"
"Oh no, oh no, I didn't expect that the city lord is actually him!" Zhu Bajie was even more timid. When Duke appeared, he looked around, looking for a place to escape. Only Sha Seng didn't know Duke's strength. He held the magic staff and stood beside Sun Wukong.
Duke had previously instructed that if they encountered Tang Seng and his party, they should not get too involved with them, as these people were jinxes and should be sent away as soon as possible. Snake Queen did not take it seriously, but since Duke had said so, she followed his instructions, so she ignored Tang Seng's request to see her.
Sun Wukong struggled to break free but failed. He looked carefully and gasped. The person coming was none other than Duke, the bird demon who taught him how to be a monkey in the Kingdom of Women.
When Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng saw that things had gotten out of hand, they pulled Sun Wukong away. The monkey had been holding a lot of rage before, and when the time came for it to explode, he broke free from his two fellow brothers and rushed to the center of the hall relying on his indestructible golden body.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!" Snake Queen was filled with joy.
"I know you are a demon sage, and I know you were very powerful 500 years ago, but this is Qijue City, and everything must be done according to the rules. You don't have to use the title of the Seven Great Sages to pressure me. I don't care about these people who are just trying to curry favor with me."
What a big deal! Sun Wukong rushed around in the hall. Hundreds of demon soldiers couldn't stop him. He rushed directly in front of Snake Princess and grabbed her by the neck with his furry claws.
Sun Wukong recognized the Bull Demon King's handwriting and saw that it was written by him. His eyes rolled around and he wanted to establish a relationship with him: "I don't know the city lord's name. Maybe he is an acquaintance of mine. If he is our brother, wouldn't it be better to do him a favor?"
Snake Queen sneered again, and without further explanation to the monkey, she took out a box next to her and threw it at Sun Wukong's feet. The monkey picked it up and was stunned, because there were dozens of papers inside, all of which were IOUs written by the Bull Demon King.
This monster seems to be very powerful. The eldest and second brothers are afraid of him, but... what does this have to do with me, Sha Wujing! "Listen, monkey, if the emperor breaks the law with the common people, even if Guanyin comes, he will be jailed for life if he doesn't pay for his meal. For the sake of Peacock, I won't argue with you. Go back and repair the road, otherwise you can forget about going to the West to obtain the scriptures."
As for the fact that a piece of Tang Monk's flesh could make one immortal, Snake Queen said that Duke was also full of natural treasures, and squeezing some of them daily would be enough to keep her youthful appearance and live till the end of the world.
After saying this, Snake Princess didn't give the three people a chance to speak and ordered her attendants to drive them out of the door.
Sun Wukong had long guessed that the Snake Queen was very influential in Qi Jue City. After hearing what she said, he simply told her the whole story one by one. He didn't need to hold a banquet to apologize, and just let Tang Seng leave immediately.
The monkey pushed away Zhu Bajie who was interrupting him and said, "The three of us escorted Tang Monk to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. We passed by this place and saw the extraordinary scene in the city. We came here to pay our respects to the city lord. Just tell me if you are the city lord!"
The monkey bared his teeth. Now that things had gotten awkward, so be it. At most, Tang Seng would recite a few spells to tighten the hoop for him. The monkey made up his mind to capture the Snake Queen and wait until he took Tang Seng out of the Qi Jue City before apologizing.
The Snake Queen's skills were no match for the Monkey, and a look of panic appeared on her face. Just as the Monkey was about to succeed, a strong wind suddenly blew up in the hall, and the Monkey's hand, which was stretched out in the air, was caught.
The next day, Duke did not bother with them. Tang Seng continued to move stones and build the road as usual. There was no other punishment and no additional sentence.
Sun Wukong watched Tang Seng doing physical work under the scorching sun, with his hands and feet all rubbed raw. He felt very regretful when he saw Tang Seng not listening to his advice. He wished he would have let Bajie starve to death.
The monkey thought about it and thought that it was not a good idea for Tang Seng to continue to do hard labor, so he called Sha Seng and said, "Brother Sha, this fool is used to being sneaky and cunning. You should take good care of the master and don't let him suffer. I will be back soon."
"Big Brother, what you said is absolutely right!" Sha Seng nodded silently. This time it really has something to do with Wujing!
