Who is the kindest and most pitiable demon in Journey to the West?

:Lol, I really hope the White Bone Spirit and the Great Sage get married.

:$The book says that the White Bone Spirit is extremely beautiful. It was just that back then, being plump was considered beautiful. . . .

In chapter 88 of the original text, the pilgrimage team arrives in Yuhua County of Tianzhu Country. Since the county magistrate, King Yuhua, and his three sons loved to practice sword and staff fighting, they took Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng as their teachers respectively. Unfortunately, the three’s weapon apprentices couldn’t lift them, so they decided to have the craftsmen create lighter \"imitation versions\" of them. One night, three weapons were placed inside the shelter; the night was illuminated by a rosy glow, with countless signs of good fortune. This fairy happened to be passing by. As the saying goes, heroes love swords and beautiful women love fine attire; he felt an attraction at once and couldn’t resist these three treasures. Should he take them or not? Take it or not? He hesitated, but in the end, love overcame conscience, and he took all three weapons with him. It might have been his first time stealing, and that’s how he ended up in big trouble! The next day, Sun Wukong and the others found that their weapons were missing and searched everywhere for them. Zhu Bajie insisted that it was the craftsmen who stole it, and demanded severe torture! But Sun Wukong was more cautious; he turned to King Yuhua and asked, \"Are there any forests or monsters in the surrounding areas of your capital city?\" ”King Yuhua said, “To the north of this city, there is a mountain called Leopard Head Mountain, and within that mountain lies a cave known as Tiger’s Mouth Cave.” People often say that there are immortals in the cave, as well as tigers and wolves, and also monsters. I have never managed to find out for sure; I don’t know what it actually is. ” From the words of King Yuhua, it can be seen that this monster never eats people nor causes harm; it has lived in harmony with the people of the entire county for a long time. That is why some call it a monster, while others call it an immortal. He might be called a demon because of his ugly appearance and his animal-like nature ； He might be called an immortal because he behaves politely when interacting with others and never bullies them (how similar he is to Sun Wukong and the others). Sun Wukong arrived at Leopard Head Mountain and, after hearing the conversations between the little demons Di Zuan Guai and Guai Di Zuan, figured out where the weapons were. It turned out that this demon was very happy to have obtained three weapons, and he wanted to hold a celebration called the “Dingpa Festival” to invite the ancient nine-headed lion to join in the festivities. But to hold a banquet, pigs and sheep are needed to make wine*, so the two demons were sent down the mountain with 20 taels of silver to buy them. The little demons discussed, \"When we get to Qianfang Market, let’s first drink a few pots of wine, list the items at an inflated price, and get them to pay two or three taels of silver so we can buy some warm clothes to keep warm – wouldn’t that be good?” ” It can be seen that this demon is truly pitiful – it even has to go buy pigs and sheep just to eat them! The little demon is very skilled at this; it seems that this isn’t just a one-time stunt, but rather something they do on a regular basis. For this reason, their possessions were meager; the little demons in the cave didn’t even have winter coats (they had no concept of stealing either)! Sun Wukong originally wanted to kill them, but he felt pity for them; moreover, he didn’t have any weapons with him, so he used a spell to freeze them in place. They searched for their silver, changed into the monsters’ appearance along with Bajie, and had Sha Seng disguise himself as a merchant selling pigs and sheep; the three of them then went to the monster’s lair to find weapons. Judging from the environment of this cave dwelling, this demon has a taste that differs from that of other demons; around it, green mountains surround it, and a natural energy flow connects it to the city. Cliffs hold green vines, while high cliffs bear crape myrtles. Bird songs fill the deep trees, while flower shadows greet at the cave entrance. Not inferior to Taoyuan Cave; ideal for retreating from the world’s troubles. It has a strong flavor of an immortal hermit; sadly, this demon did not become an immortal. From the invitation he sent to the Nine-Headed Lion, Sun Wukong learned that he was a golden lion transformed into a spirit. In front of the lairs of ordinary demons, there are usually minor demons practicing martial arts, or skinning people and sucking their blood. And what are those little demons doing in front of Teacher Huang’s door? “A cluster of **tiny, miscellaneous fairies were playing beneath the flower tree when suddenly they heard Bajie say, ‘Hah!’ Hah! ’ When the pigs and sheep were herded over, everyone came to greet them; those who caught pigs caught pigs, and those who caught sheep caught sheep, then they all were tied up together. ”If it weren’t for the fact that it’s a demon lair, one might think it’s some rural elementary school. The Yellow Lion Spirit asked Sun Wukong, “How many pigs and sheep were bought?” ”The traveler said that eight pigs and seven sheep would cost a total of 25 taels, with 5 taels still missing; therefore, the guest went up the mountain to find more silver. If it were other demons, they would have tied up the person right away and made them their lunch – there would be no need to look for silver at all But the Yellow Lion Spirit honestly paid five taels of silver and agreed to let the guest view its treasures. He repeated his instructions: “Guest, the shiny one in the middle is the nail rake.” You may take a look if you want, but just go outside; under no circumstances tell anyone. ”It can be seen that he acts in a very low-key manner, and he also feels some shame about stealing weapons. As soon as Zhu Bajie saw his weapon, he didn’t care about anything else; he snatched it, reverted to his true form, and started fighting. The Yellow Lion Spirit fought against three opponents at once and managed to push them back all the way to the west; this shows that it was quite skilled (the three weapons together weighed nearly 30,000 jin, and it would have been impossible to move them without any skill at all). But one hero cannot fight against four, let alone three mighty fighters, including Sun Wukong who caused havoc in the heavens; as a result, he ran out of strength and fled in the southeast direction. While he was away fetching the Nine-Headed Lion, Zhu Bajie and the others killed all those poor, innocent little demons who were just playing around without even any winter clothes, and set his cave on fire completely. The Yellow Lion Spirit summoned the nine-headed lions. As soon as they arrived at Leopard Head Mountain, they smelled the scent of fire and smoke, and heard cries of sorrow. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Di Zuan and Guai Ge crying and pleading with their lord there. The Yellow Lion Spirit stepped forward and asked them, “Are you real diamonds, or fake diamonds?” ”The two monsters knelt down, tears in their eyes, and bowed, saying, “How could we be fake?” Yesterday, in the morning and evening, I took the money to buy pigs and sheep... I didn’t wake up until now. Upon arriving home, he saw that the fireworks had not ceased and that all the houses were in flames; moreover, he could neither find his lord nor any of the senior leaders, so he wept bitterly here. I don’t know how this fire started! ” From this passage, it can be seen that the little demons had a very close relationship with the Yellow Lion Spirit; they referred to him not as “the king” but as “our lord.” When they found that their lord was missing, they cried bitterly. Moreover, they regarded this cave in the wilderness as their home; after being deceived, they rushed back home to report it. Upon learning of the situation, the Yellow Lion Spirit could hold back his tears no longer; his legs gave way under him as he cried out loudly, overwhelmed by grief that pierced his heart to the core. “That bald wretch!” Extremely wicked! How could one commit such a vile act – burning down my cave dwelling, killing the beautiful woman, and leaving me without any possessions or family! ”The old demon (the nine-headed lion) ordered the lion-monkey to pull him over and said, “My dear grandson, since things have come to this point, it’s pointless to be angry.” And keep your sharpness intact; go to the town and bring that monk back. ” But the Yellow Lion Spirit said, “Master!” It took years to develop that mountain area; now this bald bastard has ruined it all. What use is my life anymore? ”Struggling, he banged his head against the rock cliffs; it was only after being earnestly persuaded by snow lions, lion cubs, and others that he stopped. Writing this, I can’t help but sigh; this demon actually decided to commit suicide – it’s truly the most pitiful demon on the Journey to the West! A nine-headed lion led a group of mixed-breed lions into the city to duel with Sun Wukong and the others. As soon as they met, Bajie cursed, “Thief monster who steals treasures!” Why have you gone there, and why have these little furballs come here? ”The Yellow Lion Spirit snapped through its teeth and cursed, “You vile bald bastard!” Yesterday, three of the enemy against one of us; I was forced to retreat. I’ll just let you be human then ； How can you be so cruel? You burned down my cave dwelling, destroyed my mountain estate, and harmed my kin! Our enmity toward each other is as deep as the ocean! ”The Yellow Lion Demon still couldn’t forget its deceased kin, and at the same time it criticized Sun Wukong and the others, saying, \"We thought you were honorable people, but we never expected you to be just as despicable and vile. Although we are demons, we never harm living beings; yet you resorted to such brutal tactics!\\" Unfortunately, overwhelmed by grief and anger, the Yellow Lion Spirit lost all sense of strategy in this chaotic fight, and was eventually killed on the spot by Sun Wukong using a magic trick. After the war ended, the nine-headed lion was taken away by its master, the Heavenly Lord Ta Yi. The other five mixed-breed lions, along with the yellow lion spirit, were skinned and disemboweled by butchers; they were cut into pieces weighing one or two taels each, which were then distributed by the officers to the soldiers and civilians inside and outside the city, so that everyone could taste them – partly to experience their flavor and partly to ease their fears. ”
