Chapter 651 540: I Know My Own Daughter!
The King and Queen were instantly moved to tears.
"Good child, you are our daughter. Anyone who says otherwise, I'll fight them to the death!"
After speaking, he shot a glare at the Monkey.
The two pulled the Fake Princess to their side, the three embracing, presenting a picture of a loving father, filial daughter, and harmonious family.
The young girl began to cry anxiously.
"I am real! I am the real one!"
Sun Wukong and Xuanzang exchanged glances, was there still a need to distinguish genuine from fake? Did it even matter now?
The King could not ignore his own bloodline and said, "You girl, I suppose you are a helpless child from some family. As a King, I cannot let you wander the streets. From now on, stay in the Royal Palace, and I'll find you a good husband to marry, surely with a fitting dowry."
The Queen quickly followed suit.
"Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed."
The girl, seeing no way to prove herself, felt aggrieved beyond measure, but it seemed she could only resign herself to fate. Otherwise, being cast out of the palace, the painful days she truly could not bear.
Though she still muttered softly, 'But I am the True Princess,' she no longer had her previous arrogance.
She realized that her past arrogance stemmed from this Princess identity, and even the King and Queen, who bestowed it upon her, showed no respect.
"I'm sorry, I really know I was wrong."
Unfortunately, as the Fake Princess, no one cared what she said.
Sun Wukong found himself in a difficult position, but why deal with a difficult situation? Just don't.
He reached to his ear and pulled out the Jingu Bang, swinging it towards the Fake Princess. The King's eyes widened with rage, his large frame moving to shield Jade Rabbit.
Jade Rabbit couldn't bear to see the King take the blow, such a strike would be fatal!
Out of nowhere, she pulled a crystalline jade-like staff and blocked Sun Wukong, sending the King aside and starting a fight with Sun Wukong.
"Guard the King! Guard the King! Arrest this monk from East Earth for me!"
Xuanzang was quite exasperated.
"Your Majesty, the Princess is flying in the sky, battling my disciple, how can she be the real one?"
The King was furious.
"So what if my daughter can fly? It means my daughter is a Fairy descended to Earth!"
The puzzled Queen quickly added, "That's right, my daughter is knowledgeable and extraordinarily beautiful, definitely a Fairy from the heavens! It's perfectly reasonable for a Fairy to fly!"
Seeing a glimmer of hope, the resigned girl found it extinguished by the King's and Queen's words.
With the King's shout, a large group of guards swarmed into the palace, encircling Xuanzang and his two companions. The soldiers glanced between the sky, the King, and the girl, full of confusion.
The girl no longer cared about anything else; she needed to fight for her happiness.
"Your Majesty, you are bewitched by a demon disguised as a princess. I am the True Princess!"
The King, reacting to the girl's plea, was not panicked, but calmly said, "Do you believe in this unknown demoness mingling with witches, or me, your King, who has always treated you well?"
Swoosh!
The spears locked into unison, encircling Xuanzang and his monks.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing quickly brought out their weapons to shield Xuanzang and the girl, with Bajie protecting the girl, Sha Wujing protecting Xuanzang, leaving the girl pale with fright.
The aging King, having grown fat and lost his youthful spirit, had become timid and prone to compromise, even bullied by his own daughter.
However, to protect his daughter's well-being, he could act recklessly, recapturing the courage of his youth.
His normally gentle tone turned authoritative and somewhat cruel as he unsheathed the treasure sword at his side, aiming it at Sun Wukong.
"You Monkey up there, listen to me. If you dare harm my daughter, I'll fight to the death!"
"Guards!"
The guards raised a uniform roar of "Hou!" and advanced, causing Bajie and his companions to sharply draw towards the center.
They dared not casually harm mortals.
Sun Wukong possessed formidable strength, Jade Rabbit residing in the Guanghan Palace, excelled in dance, not combat, and was now losing ground.
If not for the Monkey forcing the other to use a spell to reveal truth, Jade Rabbit wouldn't have held on.
Thinking the matter would thus be resolved?
The situation worsened, and Sun Wukong, without family, couldn't understand a father's feelings.
The resulting chaos from his impulsiveness left him clueless and muddled.
Emotion is the world's fairest trade, truth for truth, just that simple.
The King and Queen treated Jade Rabbit as their daughter; naturally, Jade Rabbit harbored feelings for them too, otherwise she would've fled long ago under marriage pressure.
Why are you stressed by your parent's words? Isn't it because of your deep relationship with them?
If some stranger nagged you, would you listen to them?
You'd slap them away, exclaiming they're overstepping their bounds!
Jade Rabbit, aware of human frailty, observed the guards encircling four. Yet Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing alone could decimate the entire Royal Palace.
Normally, Immortals wouldn't act this way, as the cause and effect are significant, but faced with danger?
Jade Rabbit dared not gamble.
Her reluctance to leave she couldn't part with the King and Queen. Who wouldn't want a Father and Mother King to love them wholeheartedly?
But this world has too many things you don't wish for; they will ultimately happen someday, near or distant in the future.
The Monkey stopped fighting, and Jade Rabbit transformed into her true form, even more elegant and charming than the original Princess.
"Father, Mother, I...I call you this for the last time. I am a fake, she is..."
Her words were abruptly cut off by the King.
"Enough! I know my own daughter. If I say you are, then you are."
"Do those demon monks dare taint the bond between father and daughter? My treasure sword never loses sharpness, too!"
The Queen, though silent, clung tightly to the King, clearly expressing silent support.
The True Princess was now blank-minded, unsure why, despite the truth revealed, her parents still recognized that demon as their daughter.
Even willing to fight the troublesome Monkey for her.
Growing up amidst endless affection, the True Princess didn't understand that love is finite, and without accumulation but arbitrary squandering, the only reason for continued indulgence was kinship.
"Wuuu~"
Sha Wujing, troubled by the situation, hurried to comfort the weeping girl behind Bajie.
"Stop crying, crying won't make them recognize you!"
His words only made the True Princess weep more intensely, for his truth was undeniable; her loud sobs failed to distract the King's gaze from the sky.
Zhu Bajie tried to console her, "No worries, dear sister, even if you're not the Princess after marriage, Old Pig will ensure your happiness."
The Princess cried even louder!
