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

Chapter 562 The Dilemma of the Heavenly Palace of Justice
skyline.

At the summit of Mirror Sea Mountain.

The Great Sage Yellow Wind, who had just been kicked out of the study by Sun Wukong without explanation, wondered what Sun Wukong wanted to ask him.

So, the Great Sage Yellow Wind calmed himself, suppressed his doubts, and looked directly at the unruly figure before him:

"I wonder what kind of magic the Great Sage wishes to spar with me and learn from?"

Sun Wukong smiled slightly and said:

"You yellow-haired rat, how about you teach me your 'Samadhi Divine Wind' technique?"

Upon hearing this, the Great Sage Huang Feng's expression changed slightly. He quickly waved his hand, his words earnest yet tinged with helplessness:
"Great Sage, you are wise and discerning. It is not that I, a lowly demon, am hiding my talents or being st

"The little demon's true form is a yellow-haired weasel, born with the wind element. This 'Samadhi Divine Wind' is the little demon's innate demonic art. Those who are not of the demon bloodline cannot grasp its true essence."

"Even if the Great Sage possesses abilities that reach to the heavens and the earth, it would still be difficult for him to master this technique."

Sun Wukong waved his hand dismissively, saying:
"I, Old Sun, know, I know."

……

Meanwhile, inside Jing Haishan's study.

The sandalwood incense was faintly present, with only the soft breathing of Xiao Chen and Wan Shenglongnu intertwining in the enclosed space.

With a hint of hesitation and curiosity, Wan Sheng Long Nu Ao Yao slowly lifted the giant clam shell that held the secret whispers between Kui Mu Lang and the Jade Maiden of Pi Xiang Palace, her slender and delicate jade fingers as graceful as spring onions.

at first.

"what……"

But the soft whispers, like willow catkins in spring, gently brush against the heart, stirring the soul and making it unbearably itchy.

It felt as if countless insects were crawling and wriggling within my heart.

……

"what--!"

"Oh!"

"Um……"

……

Soon, the sounds emanating from the seashell ceased to be mere hints and became explicit and surging like a spring tide.

It makes you feel as if you are actually there, immersed in that enchanting and tender place, so intoxicated that you lose track of time.

Suddenly.

All hints have lost their effectiveness.

Those seductive, sweet words, along with her rapid, frantic panting, were no longer concealed and instantly shattered any defenses of the senses!

It seems to want to drag people into that enchanting and intoxicating dream world, making them unable to extricate themselves from it.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Wan Sheng Long Nu was struck dumb!
She felt all the blood rush to her head, and her fair, jade-like cheeks suddenly became as hot as a red-hot iron.

She suddenly raised her eyelids, her clear, autumn-water-like eyes filled with panic and indescribable embarrassment. Almost instinctively, she turned her head in a flustered panic to look at Xiao Chen beside her.

The moment their eyes met, their gazes collided silently in mid-air, as if sparks were flashing.

"This……"

A look of surprise, as if he hadn't expected it, also flashed across Xiao Chen's eyes.

In an instant, an indescribable awkwardness spread between the two.

"what--!"

"Oh!"

"Um……"

……

The study was so quiet that only the heart-pounding sound from the giant clam shell echoed, like heavy hammer blows striking their hearts.

in fact.

Sex education in ancient times was actually quite sophisticated, unlike the shyness and obscurity of today.

The art of sexual health preservation has a long history and is a legitimate knowledge of our ancestors in their pursuit of harmony between yin and yang, and the propagation and inheritance of life.

Traditionally, Chinese people found it difficult to talk about sex. This became the case after the rise of Neo-Confucianism during the Song Dynasty, which emphasized the Confucian principle of "preserving heavenly principles and eliminating human desires."

Before the Song Dynasty, the social atmosphere was relatively open-minded, and feudal ethics were not used to suppress human instincts.

After all, of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is having no offspring.

In the eyes of the ancients, the continuation of bloodlines and the prosperity of the clan were the most important things in life.

If there are no offspring, the family line will be cut off and the family will not prosper.

Therefore, ancient books, such as "The Secret of the Jade Chamber," "The Secret of the Bedroom," "Peng Zu's Nourishing Nature," "Preface to the Secret of the Bedroom," "The Secret Scripture of the Plain Girl," and "The Plain Girl's Formula," which detail the principles of yin and yang harmony and procreation, are all officially recognized and included in the library.

For example, in the "Su Nu Fang", the ancestor of the Chinese nation, the first ancestor of humankind, and the first of the Five Emperors, the "Yellow Emperor", personally participated in the research and compilation of this matter, and compiled it into a book to guide future generations on how to reproduce offspring.

……

These are all orthodox classics solemnly recognized by the ancient government, and scholars can study them with complete confidence.

In ancient times, before the Song Dynasty, it was not like later generations who "hide sex as a taboo subject and turn pale at the mention of it."

Legend has it that in ancient times, on the eve of a woman's marriage, her parents would secretly place scrolls or picture books containing various "erotic pictures" at the bottom of her dowry chest. These were known as "dowry paintings," also called "erotic pictures" or "secret pictures."

Of course, the erotic art books that the aristocracy (such as the royal family) might have access to were much more diverse and abundant.

There are even live instructors.

Such premarital education aims to provide guidance for newlyweds, giving them "something to follow" so that they will not be embarrassed or at a loss due to ignorance, which could even affect important matters such as marital relations and the continuation of the family line. This is the wisdom of the ancients.

……

It could be said that sex education in ancient times was probably much more mature and enlightened than that in modern times.

As a dragon princess who has lived for over a thousand years, Ao Yao is not entirely unaware of this.

However, those "armchair strategists" are ultimately just "armchair strategists"!
At this moment.

At this very moment, for Wan Shenglongnu, an unmarried woman, being in a secret chamber with a man, sharing the sounds of passionate lovemaking...

The sound of panting could be clearly heard.

That passionate cry, thread by thread, lingered endlessly.

This feeling of shyness surged into her heart like a tide, making her unable to control herself. She felt hot all over and restless.

"What...what...what foul language is this?!"

As if struck by an invisible electric current, Wan Shenglongnu's delicate body trembled slightly, and she let out a short cry of surprise.

The slightly cold tridacna shell in her hand now seemed to have turned into a red-hot iron, burning her fingertips until they went numb and she almost dropped it!

That exquisitely beautiful face, as if carved from fine white jade, instantly blushed with two strikingly vibrant red clouds, breathtakingly beautiful yet exuding endless shyness.

No thinking required.

Almost entirely out of her most primal instincts, Wan Sheng Long Nu snapped the two heavy giant clam shells shut with a resounding "snap!"

The incessant, blush-inducing sounds were kept completely shut out.

A hand flashed up and covered her burning cheek, the intense heat startling even herself, as if trying to hide the shyness that permeated her entire body.

Her other hand was gripping the corner of her sleeve tightly in her panic, her knuckles turning a pale blue from the force, revealing her helplessness and tension.

At this moment.

The Dragon Girl's heart was already in turmoil, a complete mess, with only one thought swirling and roaring wildly in her mind:
"This...this is so embarrassing!"

"This is absolutely incredibly embarrassing!"

Looking at Xiao Chen, however, he remained calm and composed.

Xiao Chen's expression was calm as still water, and his breathing was steady as usual, as if the noise that had just filled the study and made people's blood boil was nothing more than a passing breeze and had nothing to do with him.

That's certainly true.

King Golden Horn is already a "veteran of the battlefield," having fought countless battles with real guns and ammunition.

These sounds of lovemaking were nothing more than a "drizzle" to him.

Xiao Chen said calmly:

"Indeed, with this evidence, present it to Yang Jian."

"That would be enough to ignite a war between Yang Jian and Kui Mulang."

"Yang Jian is now a celestial god of justice in the heavens, who holds a high position and great power and is in charge of criminal law."

"Kui Mulang is now the Jade Emperor's trusted and beloved general, ranking first among the Twenty-Eight Constellations, residing in the Dou Niu Palace, and commanding all the constellation generals."

"If Yang Jian were to fight Kui Mulang..."

"There's going to be a good show in the heavens."

"Even with Yang Jian's three sharp eyes, it would be difficult for him to be distracted by a corner of Yaochi."

At this moment.

Wan Shenglongnu was still deeply embarrassed, her head lowered and her eyes darting away, not daring to look at Xiao Chen.

A long time passed.

The Dragon Girl finally managed to squeeze out a response barely audible:

"Hmm..." "Golden Horn, I'll do whatever you say..."

Xiao Chen remained calm, his eyes subtly glancing at the dragon girl beside him.

But on Wan Shenglongnu's jade-like face, the two captivating blushes not only did not fade, but became even more delicate and alluring.

That awkwardness born of shyness possessed a breathtaking beauty.

It must be said that Sun Wukong was indeed a "good wingman," constantly helping King Golden Horn to "push the waves."

However, Sun Wukong has always been a person who likes to play tricks on people.

He did a lot of ridiculous things.

For example, on the journey to the West, when they were in the Spider Cave, Sun Wukong saw seven spider demons bathing in the Cleansing Spring. He transformed into a hungry eagle and stole all the clothes from the seven spider demons.

Sun Wukong's actions left the seven spider demons without clothes to wear, forcing them to squat in the water to cover themselves, looking utterly disheveled.

Then, Sun Wukong ran back to Zhu Bajie and said:

"These female demons who are bathing are all enduring humiliation and shame, not daring to show their faces, and squatting in the water!"

"I'm not hitting him. If you want to hit him, go hit him!"

So, Pigsy roused himself, happily picked up his rake, and strode off to the Cleansing Spring to watch the seven spider demons bathe, causing a series of hilarious mishaps.

When they were in the Bottomless Cave of Trapped Sky Mountain, the Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat Demon captured Tang Sanzang and wanted to consummate their marriage, attempting to create a tragic love affair.

Sun Wukong tricked Tang Sanzang, forcing him to consummate his marriage with the Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat Demon, and then advised Tang Sanzang:
"Master, are you sure you can do it?!"

"That demoness arranged a feast and married you after eating."

"You can marry her and have a child, a son or daughter, who will be your descendants, the monk. What are you worried about?"

……

Such examples are countless, which gives a glimpse into Sun Wukong's mischievousness.

For Sun Wukong, teasing King Golden Horn and Princess Wansheng was a piece of cake.

The study was as silent as the deep sea, with a pervasive, unspoken awkwardness.

"Um……"

Xiao Chen cleared his throat, breaking the silence first.

“Ao Yao”.

His voice softened further:

Should I call them in?

The Dragon Girl of Halloween took a deep breath, her fingers unconsciously smoothing her slightly disheveled hair as she tried to calm her racing heart and force her voice to steady itself:
"……it is good."

Upon closer listening, the last syllable still carried a slight tremor that could not be completely concealed, as if the shyness and panic from just moments before still lingered.

……

Subsequently.

"Monkey, Yellow Wind, stop standing outside and come in!"

Xiao Chen's call echoed through the study.

Sun Wukong somersaulted and darted in, winking mischievously at Xiao Chen, as if to say:

"How was it, toad? Was it fun?"

At this moment.

Wan Shenglongnu was still standing to the side.

Xiao Chen naturally remained uninvolved and did not respond.

The Great Sage Huang Feng followed closely behind, step by step.

Just stepped in.

The Great Sage Huang Feng's beady eyes fell on the giant clam shell that the Dragon Girl Wan Sheng had tightly closed, and he subconsciously reached out to touch it!
Upon seeing this, Wan Shenglongnu was overcome with embarrassment and almost fled.

"cough!"

Xiao Chen coughed lightly, his eyes sweeping across the area with a sharp, razor-sharp gaze.

He met Xiao Chen's gaze, which contained a hidden warning.

The Great Sage Huang Feng froze in mid-air, abruptly retracting his hand and daring not to move again.

"monkey."

Xiao Chen turned to Sun Wukong, a composed smile returning to his face:

"I need you to do something for me next."

Xiao Chen pointed to the giant clam shell on the desk:
"Deliver this...special 'gift' to Yang Jian quietly."

Sun Wukong laughed heartily:
"Very good. Yang Jian's eldest nephew, now that he's taken office, is he going to make such a big show of 'patrolling the heavens, visiting one realm a day, and purging the lawless'?"

"Let's create some trouble for him and let him cause some chaos!"

"He'll be so busy he won't have time to keep an eye on us!"

……

now.

After Yang Jian was appointed the God of Justice and took charge of the Heavenly Realm, in order to collect evidence of the illegal crimes of the gods, he set up a secret box called the "Heavenly Mirror Box" in various heavenly realms.

This "Heavenly Mirror Box" is actually somewhat similar to the anonymous tip-off mailbox in my previous life.

……

Subsequently.

Xiao Chen used the "Ancestral Dragon Pearl" to conceal Sun Wukong's aura.

"Hehehe, I, Old Sun, am off!"

Sun Wukong chuckled and used his "72 Transformations" to become a tiny, formless speck of dust. He quietly carried the giant clam shell filled with "exquisite evidence of his crimes" and, at a cunning moment, secretly placed it into a "Heavenly Mirror Box" in the celestial realm.

……

skyline.

Thirty-three days.

The newly completed Palace of Justice stands majestically and imposingly.

The entire mansion was meticulously constructed of black iron, with its eaves soaring like sharp blades. Nine evil-suppressing thunder dragons coiled above them, their eyes inlaid with purple lightning pearls, occasionally bursting forth with dazzling lightning, inspiring awe.

Above the main gate, a plaque hangs high.

The words "The God of Justice, Inspector of the Three Realms" were personally inscribed by the Jade Emperor. The strokes were as sharp as an axe, faintly revealing the oppressive power of the Heavenly Dao, making people dare not look directly at him.

Two rows of grass-headed gods stood solemnly before the gate, hands on their swords, all clad in crimson-gold Bixie armor, exuding an imposing aura.

This former "Erlang Zhenjun Temple" has now been rebuilt into the "Judicial God's Palace," which exudes an even more solemn and austere atmosphere.

Inside the mansion.

Inside the main hall, "Mingfa Hall".

Before the sandalwood desk, Yang Jian, wearing a three-peaked phoenix crown, silver divine armor, and a black judicial robe, sat upright in the main seat, his third eye slightly closed, intently reading through the mountain of jade slips and scrolls.

Since he, along with the six brothers of Meishan, 1,200 grass-head gods, and his followers such as the Howling Celestial Dog and the Soaring Eagle, officially settled in the Heavenly Realm, the "Erlang Manifesting Saint True Lord Temple" was renamed "Judicial Heavenly God Palace".

The news that he had been ordered to take charge of the Heavenly Laws and Punishments spread like wildfire to every corner of the Heavenly Court.

The Jade Emperor originally intended to announce this matter at the grand "Dan Yuan Assembly," but seeing this situation, he went with the flow and proclaimed it to the Three Realms.

however.

Yang Jian, who was once a rebel who "did not acknowledge the Heavenly Family with his lofty ambition and returned to the Gods to dwell in Guanjiang with his arrogant nature," suddenly ascended to the position of "God of Justice" who oversees all the gods and holds the reins of law.

The subtleties and obstacles involved are self-evident.

Most of the gods in Heaven were hesitant or even resistant to the idea that Erlang Shen, the proud and arrogant man who had once "arrogantly returned to his divine abode in Guanjiang," would be willing to serve as an official in Heaven and hold such a sensitive judicial position.

After all, the position of "God of Justice" is to oversee the illegal acts of the gods.

In essence, the "God of Justice" is responsible for impeaching and punishing the gods of the heavens for violating laws and regulations, which is no different from a sharp blade hanging over the heads of all the gods in the heavens.

The God of Justice was born to be in opposition to the other gods in Heaven, making him the target of everyone's hatred!
Yang Jian's duty as a judicial deity destined him to walk a "lonely path" full of thorns.

The Heavenly Court is filled with numerous factions, deeply intertwined, and various forces are engaged in open and covert struggles.

However, at this moment, he was facing Yang Jian, this "new official".

The various factions within Heaven have temporarily formed a kind of unspoken "alliance".

They covered for each other, colluded and conspired, trying to prevent this newly appointed judicial savior from finding any weaknesses or loopholes.

Of course, undercurrents are also swirling.

Those former enemies whom Yang Jian had once sent to the Investiture of the Gods still harbored resentment, like venomous snakes lurking in the shadows, ready to launch an attack at any moment.

They then took advantage of Yang Jian's newly established "Heavenly Mirror Box" to make a fuss, only submitting things such as:

"A celestial dog that guards the Four Wasted Star Lord's residence has gone missing..."

"A golden pheasant from the household of the Heavenly King of Growth flew out of the imperial garden..."

"A celestial soldier named Yang Jian wanted to go to the Moon Palace to peep at Chang'e bathing..."

...and other trivial matters.

This was done to humiliate and disgust Yang Jian, weaken his prestige, and disturb his mind.
