Bumpity Ba immediately shouted, "I..."
Tang Sanzang clenched his fist and stepped forward, as Bumpity Ba cried, his mouth opening a few times but not knowing what to say.

On hearing this, everyone's heart filled with wails, "Damn, so this guy just blacked out from drinking..."
Quietly mourning Bumpity Ba for two seconds, Sun Wukong said, "Master, that fish sought its own end, but it knew who stole the Shariputras."
