The Great Emperor Zhenwu ultimately gave up on capturing the Nine-Headed Beast.
The Nine-Headed Beast harbored resentment but dared not show even a trace of it in front of Sun Wukong.
"You're more reasonable."
Transforming into a Daoist, it spoke to Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong smiled and inquired about its relationship with the Bull Demon King.
The Nine-Headed Beast and the Bull Demon King were friends of many years; after the Bull Demon King settled down in Wanling City, he invited it over to catch up.
It couldn't stop praising the Bull Demon King's pulled noodles.
Sun Wukong then asked, "Do you want to stay in Wanling City too, find a job and settle down?"
"I don't like to be constrained."
The Nine-Headed Beast rejected the idea without hesitation: "Thank you for the kind offer, Great Saint."
The Nine-Headed Beast was somewhat afraid of them; after exchanging a few words, it clasped its hands in a gesture of farewell.
"Great Saint."
