Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 449 Emperor Donghua and Peony Fairy

In the heaven, fairy clouds are swirling and the rays of light are endless.

On the sixteenth heaven, there is a scenic spot called the Peony Garden, where peonies are in full bloom and the fragrance is rich.

At this time, Dongfang Shuo, holding a jade scroll written by Emperor Donghua himself, walked into the peony garden, reported to the attendant Shenying, and found the Peony Fairy.

Dongfang Shuo came to the Peony Fairy, handed the jade slip respectfully with both hands, and said:
"Fairy, for some reason, the peonies in the Emperor's imperial garden have been plagued by diseases in recent days."

"I hope the fairy can go and check it out and relieve the emperor's worries."

The peony fairy is beautiful, graceful, and elegant, just like the most dazzling white peony by the Yaochi Lake.

"Donghua Immortal..."

She took the jade slip and nodded slightly. She already understood what Emperor Donghua meant, and her thoughts drifted to the past.

Looking back to the past, she was just an unknown white peony by the Yaochi Lake, quietly absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon from the Yaochi Lake every day. After countless years of hard practice, she finally achieved enlightenment and became an immortal.

After that, she was able to serve the chief of the female fairies, the Queen Mother. With her gentleness and intelligence, she was deeply loved by the Queen Mother.

Later, the Queen Mother sent her to look after the peony garden and named her the Peony Goddess.

The peony flower is large and fragrant, with bright colors, jade-like fragrance, elegant and unrestrained, magnificent and graceful. It is known as the "king of flowers" and is also known as the "king of flowers", "national beauty" and "national beauty".

In human dynasties, the peony is often revered as the "national flower peony".

Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty once wrote in his poem Appreciating Peonies: "Only the peony is truly the most beautiful flower in the country. When it blooms, the capital city is moved!"

Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty also praised it in his "Records of Luoyang Peonies": "The only true flower in the world is the peony."

The peony is the best among all flowers and is the king of all flowers.

Therefore, the Peony God is ranked first among the Twelve Flower Gods and has an extremely respected status.

If the Fairy of Flowers has not yet returned, the Peony God is equivalent to the Fairy of Flowers.

As the leader of the Twelve Flower Gods, the Peony Fairy needs to patrol the human world regularly to ensure that flowers and trees grow in an orderly manner, the four seasons are in order, and all things flourish.

That day, the Peony Fairy cruised to the shore of the East China Sea, with the sea breeze blowing on her face and the waves sparkling.

However, danger lurks beneath the calm sea.

Suddenly, a three-headed demonic dragon jumped out from the East China Sea. The dragon was huge, with three ferocious heads, and exuded an evil aura.

Snakes are inherently lustful, and so are many dragons.

When the three-headed demon dragons saw the unparalleled beauty of the Peony Fairy, they became malicious and even tried to snatch her away to be their concubine.

The Peony Fairy's expression became stern, and she revealed her identity as the "Peony Goddess" and stated that she was an official from the Heavenly Court.

Unexpectedly, the three demon dragons were not afraid after hearing this, but became even crazier and laughed wildly:
"Death under the peonies, you can be a ghost even if you die!"

"Master Jiao, I don't like playing with Jiao. What I want is the peony flower!"

After saying that, the three-headed demon dragon started fighting with the Peony Fairy.

After all, the Peony Fairy is just a flower fairy, a fairy official who takes care of flowers. She usually only focuses on taking care of flowers and is not good at fighting.

The Peony Fairy is no match for these three-headed demon dragons.

The heavenly soldiers that came with them to guard were also swallowed up one after another under the fierce attack of the three-headed demon dragon.

The three-headed demon dragon captured the Peony Fairy and tried to commit a crime against her, and even stimulated the dragon's sexual bag.

The dragon's scrotum exuded a confusing aura, trying to confuse the mind of the Peony Fairy.

Fangzhang Immortal Mountain was originally not far from the East China Sea.

"Coincidentally", Emperor Donghua passed by the East China Sea and witnessed this scene.

He frowned, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he drew the Xiantian Pure Yang Sword in his hand. With a sword, the light of the sword chilled the East China Sea. He instantly killed the three-headed demon dragon and saved the Peony Fairy.

However, the Peony Fairy was aroused by the three-headed magic dragon's sac and could no longer control her desire, and was in a trance.

In order to save the Peony Fairy, Emperor Donghua had no choice but to have sex with the Fairy, thus committing a grievous sin against the Heavenly Law and committing an affair between the gods.

Afterwards, the two expressed their love by writing a poem using red leaves.

This is for:

"The love of the immortal Donghua is hidden deep, and the red leaf poem reveals the love of the peony."

……

In the peony garden.

The Peony Fairy looked at the red leaf in her sleeve. There was a poem on the red leaf. The poem said:

"Once I enter the deep palace, I have no chance to see spring. I write poems on flowers and leaves and send them to my lover."

As the saying goes, "Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless?"

Little do people know that plants and trees also have feelings.

Since the two of them have violated the heavenly rules.

She once persuaded Emperor Donghua with deep affection to leave the immortal list and stop being a god, to live in the mortal world as a couple and lead a life of the man farming and the woman weaving.

I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals.

But Emperor Donghua has great ambitions and wants to compete for the position of Emperor of Heaven. How could he easily leave the immortal list, give up his magical powers, and live an ordinary life on earth?

Emperor Donghua promised Fairy Peony: "I will be the Emperor of Heaven, and you will be the Queen Mother!"

Before this, the Peony Fairy was just a fairy flower-growing official who turned a deaf ear to the world outside and devoted herself to growing flowers. She didn't know much about the affairs of Emperor Donghua.

After the Peony Fairy and Emperor Donghua were together, she gradually learned about Emperor Donghua's past.

She knew that Emperor Donghua was determined to restore his position as Duke of the East, fight for the throne of Emperor of Heaven, and become the master of the Three Realms.

The Emperor of Donghua is Mu Gong.

And she, the Peony Fairy, is just a little fairy of plants and trees.

Since I can't persuade Emperor Donghua, I can only help him with all my strength.

Even if this matter would go against the will of heaven and lead to eternal damnation.

She didn't really care about the position of Queen Mother or anything like that; she just wanted to help him.

Coincidentally, she is the White Peony who became an immortal, and Emperor Donghua is the God of Wood. The five elements of the two are in harmony, as if there is a divine will in their relationship.

Dongfang Shuo saw that the Peony Fairy was lost in thought and reminded her softly:
"Fairy Peony, Fairy Peony?"

Fairy Peony came back to her senses, nodded slightly, and said softly:
"Xiao Shuo, let's go."

Afterwards, the Peony Fairy and Dongfang Shuo went to Fangzhang Fairy Mountain.

Emperor Donghua is the chief of the male immortals and has a highly respected status in the Heavenly Court, so he can naturally have unimpeded access in the heavenly realm.

It didn't take long for the Peony Fairy and Dongfang Shuo to arrive at Fangzhang Fairy Mountain.

……

In Taiyuan Palace.

Emperor Donghua and Fairy Peony met. In front of outsiders, they behaved in a dignified manner, and their every move showed the demeanor of immortals.

Emperor Donghua was dressed in a moon-white fairy robe with his wide sleeves fluttering in the wind, looking majestic yet gentle.

The Peony Fairy is wearing a light pink fairy dress with fluttering hems, like a peony flower blooming in the clouds, delicate and elegant.

When Emperor Donghua saw Fairy Peony coming, a hint of tenderness flashed in his eyes, and he said softly:
"Peony God, the peonies in my garden seem to have been infected with some disease recently. The leaves are withered and yellow, and the flowers have lost their former beauty."

"I hope you can help me take care of the peonies in this garden and bring them back to life."

The Peony Fairy looked calm and answered with a smile:

"The Emperor has given orders, and Peony will obey them."

"It is Peony's fortune to be able to share the emperor's worries."

After saying this, Emperor Donghua nodded slightly, then led the Peony Fairy and walked slowly towards the imperial garden.

……

Emperor Donghua had already created a small world in the imperial garden, named "Taiyuan Fantasy Land".

The passage of time in this "Taiyuan Illusion" is completely different from that in the outside world.

Within the "Taiyuan Illusion", time is stretched.

Only one day passed in the outside world, but ten days had passed quietly in this "Taiyuan Illusion".

This "Taiyuan Illusion" is actually a great place to save time and conceal one's tracks when practicing dual cultivation, healing injuries, or doing some secret things.

It only took a while to cure the flower, but who would have known that Emperor Donghua had already been practicing dual cultivation with Fairy Peony for ten days?
"Qingye, change."

Emperor Donghua raised his hand slightly, picked up a green leaf casually, and muttered something. The green leaf instantly flashed with light and turned into his own appearance, lifelike, exactly the same as him.

"Peony, change."

The Peony Fairy also walked lightly, came to a blooming peony, stroked the petals with her bare hands, and then gently picked a peony. The fairy power flowed through her fingertips, and the peony instantly turned into her own shape, delicate and charming. On the surface, Emperor Donghua and the Peony Fairy were standing among the flowers in the imperial garden, discussing the art of flower arrangement.

Sometimes they chatted and laughed, sharing their insights and love for various flowers; sometimes they leaned over to appreciate the flowers beside them, gently touching the petals with their fingers, feeling the texture and vitality of the flowers, as if discussing how to make these flowers bloom more brilliantly.

……

In fact, Emperor Donghua had already played with the peony flowers.

……

Emperor Donghua and Fairy Peony, together with their telepathic understanding, escaped into the depths of the "Taiyuan Fantasy Realm".

The immortal power of Emperor Donghua is vigorous and steady, like a towering mountain, giving people a feeling of being indestructible.

The fairy power of the Peony Fairy is soft and agile, like a gurgling stream, carrying endless vitality and vigor.

The immortal powers of the two were very different and when they clashed, their figures gradually became visible, appearing and disappearing.

The "Taiyuan Fantasy Land" is shrouded in clouds and mist.

In this dreamlike world, Emperor Donghua and Fairy Peony made love together and began to harmonize yin and yang.

With the nourishment of Yin energy, the disadvantages of "positive pole backlash" brought about by Emperor Donghua's "Innate Pure Yang Gong" are gradually dissipating.

……

Penglai Sea Area.

The Heavenly Court's turtle catching team is catching turtles in full swing.

A group of heavenly soldiers and generals cast nets or used magic to capture the huge and ferocious giant turtles in the sea.

……

Lunar star.

The moon shines down.

General Juanlian was sitting quietly in a forest somewhere on the Penglai Fairy Island.

Thoreau's staff was made from branches of the "Innate Laurel Tree" in the Moon Palace.

At this moment.

The Thoreau staff in General Juanlian's hand emitted a faint moonlight, and seemed to have a spirit, trembling slightly, as if responding to some call.

"coming……"

General Juanlian's heart moved. He knew that this was a signal from the Moon God, indicating that the Peony Fairy had set out for Fangzhang Fairy Mountain.

The general in charge of the curtain looked stern, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Then, he took out the "Haotian Mirror" from the "Sumeru Universe Bag" and shone the mirror towards the Fangzhang Immortal Mountain.

The Haotian Mirror belongs to the Jade Emperor. It can monitor the three realms and dispel delusion to reveal the truth.

Of course, detection magic weapons generally have a "distance limit".

The longer the detection distance, the weaker the detection effect of the detection magic weapon.

But this Penglai Fairy Island is not far from the Fangzhang Fairy Mountain, which makes it easy to explore.

At this moment.

The surface of the Haotian Mirror flickered, reflecting the scene of Fangzhang Fairy Mountain.

Emperor Donghua and the Peony Fairy were seen in the imperial garden, embracing each other and holding hands, and escaping into the "Taiyuan Fantasy Land" together.

General Juanlian only took a quick glance at the scene in the "Taiyuan Fantasy" and quickly put it away.

The beauty and mystery of the illusion made General Juanlian dare not look at it for too long, for fear that it would disturb his spiritual mind.

The general who rolled up the curtain quickly adjusted his mentality and calmed himself down.

at this time.

General Juanlian knew the situation was urgent, so he quickly flew up to the clouds, took out the "Glass Lamp" from the "Sumeru Universe Bag", and threw the Glazed Lamp hard into the clouds. In an instant, the Glazed Lamp shattered, emitting colorful Glazed divine light.

In an instant.

The colorful glazed divine light was like a sharp sword, piercing through the barrier at the speed of light and shooting towards the outside world.

……

Subsequently.

General Juanlian came down from the clouds and gave the order to the "Heavenly Court Catching Turtle Team":

"We have almost caught all the golden turtles in the Penglai Sea area in the past few days."

"Let's go find another place to catch turtles."

Naturally, the heavenly soldiers could not disobey the order of General Juanlian, so they followed him.

……

Outside the three islands and ten continents.

The chief spiritual officer of Dutian, "Wang Lingguan", is leading fifty spiritual officers hiding in the dark, ready to fight.

They are dressed in majestic robes and have a powerful aura, like sharp swords hidden in the darkness, ready to be unsheathed at any time.

At this moment.

At this moment, when Wang Lingguan saw the colorful glazed divine light, he threw away his red robe and his eyes widened.

"All spiritual officials, follow me and enforce the law!"

Wang Lingguan shouted sternly.

"Yes!"

Fifty spiritual officials responded in unison.

Afterwards, Wang Lingguan held the "Golden Whip for Beating the Gods" and the "Golden Seal for Inspecting the Capital Heavens", stepped on the Wind-Fire Wheel, and with full power, he led fifty spiritual officials to break the seal of the three islands and went straight to the Immortal Mountain of Fangzhang.

Fifty spiritual officials followed behind him.

Although the White Deer Spirit (Lu Tong) received the order from the God of Longevity, he wanted to leave the Penglai Fairy Island and lure young boys and girls as medicine guides in an attempt to refine the elixir of immortality.

But at present, the White Deer Spirit has not set out yet and is still guarding the three islands of Penglai, Fangzhang and Yingzhou.

At this moment, Lu Tong was touring the three islands, when Wang Lingguan came breaking through the boundary with great momentum.

When the White Deer Spirit (Lu Tong) saw this, he was shocked, for he knew very well that the visitor had ill intentions.

The deer boy's right hand gently stroked the deer antler-shaped pendant coiled around his waist. The moment his fingertips touched, the antler suddenly stretched out and turned into a "gilded deer antler longbow".

This "gilded deer antler longbow" is extraordinary. It is made from the antlers that fell off the deer boy after years of wear and tear. It was carefully refined by Yun Zhongzi, a master weapon refiner who is one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect.

At the same time, the deer boy slightly separated his feet, took a half step back with his left foot, lightly touched the mist with his toes, leaned forward slightly, and his back was as straight as a fully drawn bowstring, just like a spirit deer ready to go.

His pupils shrank like needles, staring at Wang Lingguan tightly. As his chest rose and fell, a light blue light emanated from his body. His left hand held the bow steadily, and three fingers of his right hand lightly pressed the bowstring.

Although the arrow has not been shot, the wind from the arrow has already condensed.

The White Deer Spirit drew the "Deer Horn Longbow" and stopped Wang Lingguan with a stern look on his face, asking:

"What is Wang Lingguan's intention in breaking into my Three Islands today?"

"Do you have a search warrant?"

When it comes to catching an adulterer, one must be “fast, ruthless and accurate”!
The situation is urgent at the moment and we cannot afford to waste any more time.

Wang Lingguan frowned, holding the golden whip and said:
"Get out of the way immediately and stop interfering with public affairs."

"I don't know what the Lingguan is doing..."

The White Deer Demon wanted to continue asking questions.

However, Wang Lingguan ignored him and rushed forward, trying to force his way through.

"If the spiritual officer forces his way in, don't blame me for being rude!"

When Lu Tong heard this, he became angry and his fingertips suddenly loosened, causing the strings to explode, resounding like thunder.

The moment the bowstring vibrated, a golden arrow whizzed out, and the air was torn into ripples that were visible to the naked eye.

Immediately afterwards, countless golden arms appeared behind the deer boy. They drew their bows and arrows in unison, with skillful and swift movements.

This arrow also split into thousands of golden lights, pouring down like a rainstorm. The trajectories of the arrow rain intertwined into a net, like an airtight net, blocking all of Wang Lingguan's paths and leaving him nowhere to escape.

In an instant, above the clouds, thousands of golden arrows of light shot through the sun like meteors, leaving golden traces of light at their tails. Wherever they passed, the grass and trees all bowed down, as if frightened by the invisible pressure.

Lu Tong is still the same Lu Tong. He used to be the captain of the Yuxu Palace's monster-hunting team and was very good at archery.

But the person standing in front of him was not the demon boy Nezha, nor the spirit boy Ao Bing.

Instead, it was the Great Lingguan of Dutian Patrol - "Wang Lingguan" who was able to fight to a standstill with the Monkey King Sun Wukong during the period of Havoc in Heaven.
