I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 120 Zhuang Yan wants benefits, Tianpeng makes trouble in the Heavenly Palace

When Taiyin Star Lord brought the Fairy Nishang to the outside of Tongming Palace, Zhuang Yan had already arrived here.

He was originally looking for Laozi in Hongming Garden, but for some reason, the news of his arrival in Hongming Garden reached the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor was in a good mood, so he ordered Zhuang Yan to be summoned to the Tongming Palace and personally asked him about his sleeping in the Huayan Temple.

When Zhuang Yan saw that Taishang Laojun and other emperors were present, he knew that these gods wanted to tease him, so he could only say to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, I really didn't sleep."

"You fell asleep." Queen Mother of the West had a faint smile on her face.

Zhuang Yan: “.” He looked at the Queen Mother of the West speechlessly. Had he ever offended her?
No, she is not still remembering the incident of Kunlun Mirror? As expected, women always hold grudges.

"I didn't sleep!" Zhuang Yan retorted seriously and firmly.

Seeing Zhuang Yan like this, Queen Mother Xi felt even more amused, but she still had a graceful smile on her face, "You fell asleep."

"Damn it!" Zhuang Yan was speechless, staring at the Queen Mother of the West, thinking to himself, 'If the Jade Emperor wasn't here, I would have beaten you up this morning.'

Zhuang Yan suppressed his dissatisfaction and turned to the Jade Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I want to impeach Your Majesty, Yao Chi Jin Mu, for spreading rumors and slandering me."

In an instant, all the emperors present looked at Zhuang Yan in astonishment, and even the Queen Mother of the West herself opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

But just a moment later, starting with the Jade Emperor, all the emperors looked at Zhuang Yan and burst into laughter.

Even the always dignified and solemn Emperor Hou Tu gently raised his jade arm and covered half of his face with the wide sleeves of his crown, but from her slightly curved eyebrows it was clear that she was also amused.

"Alright, alright." The Jade Emperor laughed a few times and then stopped, then said to everyone, "Fellow Taoists, please stop teasing Lingtai Shenjun."

As he spoke, the Jade Emperor looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Zhuang Yan, people are teasing you like this, but there is no ill intention on their part. If this story of yours gets out, it will become a good story."

Zhuang Yan said, "But Your Majesty, it is wrong to spread rumors. Please help me to seek justice."

The Jade Emperor smiled at the Queen Mother of the West and said, "Fellow Daoist, look at this matter. Lingtai Shenjun must seek justice. I have no other choice."

Upon hearing this, Queen Mother of the West smiled and said to Zhuang Yan, "Lord Lingtai, next time at the Peach Festival, you can bring a few more people with you. Anyone is fine."

Hearing this, Zhuang Yan was startled at first, then he clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Although the Queen Mother of the West has the word "Queen Mother" in her name, she is actually the "Emperor" in the Heavenly Palace, so she should be addressed as "Your Majesty" in formal occasions.

The Queen Mother of the West smiled and said, "You are not joking."

Zhuang Yan immediately turned from anger to joy, bowed and said, "I thank your majesty."

Another round of laughter rang out in the Tongming Palace. The Jade Emperor pointed at Zhuang Yan and said with a smile, "Lord Lingtai, it seems that you don't want justice, but benefits, right?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, since I am right, I still have to ask for some benefits to make it worthwhile."

The Jade Emperor laughed and said, "You are so good, Zhuang Yan. You are the first one who dares to ask for benefits in front of me."

Zhuang Yan bowed and said, "If it weren't for the great Heavenly Lord's majesty, I wouldn't have been able to get this benefit. I thank the great Heavenly Lord for his grace."

“Hahaha.” The Jade Emperor stroked his beard and laughed. His already good mood now became even better.

However, sometimes things are too extreme and not good. Just as the Jade Emperor finished laughing, a celestial general came in and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, the Lord of the Moon and the Fairy Rainbow have come to see you."

"Oh?" The Jade Emperor frowned in surprise. Zhuang Yan retreated to one side of the hall and stood below the four heavenly masters.

After a moment, the Jade Emperor slowly opened his mouth and said, "Announce."

After a while, Taiyin Star Lord walked in with tear-stained face and trembling Fairy Nishang.

Seeing this scene, the Jade Emperor frowned and immediately understood what was happening.

Sure enough, the Moon God came forward to pay his respects, while the Fairy Nishang knelt on the ground and paid her respects to the Jade Emperor.

The Jade Emperor raised his hand and said, "Please stand up, my two celestials. What happened?"

Taiyin Star Lord immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, tonight a Marshal Tianpeng broke into the Guanghan Palace of Taiyin Star and flirted with the fairy Chang'e and the colorful lady under the pretext of drinking. Your Majesty, please issue an imperial decree to arrest Marshal Tianpeng immediately to rectify the rules of heaven."

As Taiyin Xingjun finished his report, Fairy Nishang also cried and bowed, "I bow to the Great Celestial Lord. Today, Marshal Tianpeng got drunk and trespassed into Guanghan Palace. I was taking a walk outside the palace at that time."

Fairy Nishang narrated the whole process of how she was teased by Zhu Lie. Zhuang Yan, who was standing aside, heard the reports from Lord Taiyin and Fairy Nishang, and then he remembered that he seemed to have passed by Zhu Lie just now.

Unexpectedly, the seemingly ordinary passing by just now turned out to be a historic event.

The smile on the Jade Emperor's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a serious expression. He immediately summoned Wang Lingguan and said, "Wang Lingguan, I want you to go and summon Marshal Tianpeng to come to Tongming Palace to see me immediately."

Wang Lingguan bowed and accepted the order and left. At this time, the atmosphere in the hall was a little solemn. Queen Mother of the West said, "I didn't expect that Marshal Tianpeng would be so bold."

The Jade Emperor's expression remained unchanged, and he said to the Fairy Nishang below: "Get up and answer the question."

Fairy Nishang bowed her head in thanks, then slowly stood up. The Jade Emperor then asked, "Do you have any old friendship with Marshal Tianpeng?" Upon hearing this, Fairy Nishang's face changed suddenly. The Jade Emperor replaced "old feelings" with "old friendship", but how could Fairy Nishang not hear it.

Fairy Nishang bowed hastily and said, "Great Heavenly Lord, I have no old love for Marshal Tianpeng. I was abducted when I went down to the mortal world to visit my relatives, and the Heavenly Court sent Marshal Tianpeng to rescue me. It has been since then." Fairy Nishang then told him everything about Zhu Lie's love for her.

“Therefore, this matter is all one-sided wishful thinking of Marshal Tianpeng. I have absolutely no personal feelings from the beginning to the end. I hope the Great Heavenly Venerable will understand.” Having said this, Fairy Nishang bowed again.

Seeing her so frightened, the Jade Emperor slowed down his tone and said, "Don't be afraid. I am not someone who cannot distinguish right from wrong. When we catch Marshal Tianpeng, I will make the decision for you. Although he is my favorite general, since he has committed a serious mistake, I will never show favoritism."

When Fairy Nishang heard what the Jade Emperor said, her fear was relieved. She wept and bowed, "Thank you, Great Celestial Lord, for your mercy."

But Wang Lingguan led people to search along the way, and finally found Zhu Lie in the Jade Palace of Yao Chi.

As soon as Wang Lingguan arrived outside the Jade Palace of Yao Chi, he heard a loud noise coming from inside. Finally, the Seven Fairies walked out of the palace with angry faces, and immediately surrounded Wang Lingguan when they saw him.

The seven fairies gathered around and started talking at once. Wang Lingguan felt overwhelmed and said quickly, "Speak one by one."

The red-dressed fairy in the lead said hurriedly, "Wang Lingguan, please go in and take a look. Marshal Tianpeng has gone mad for some reason. He broke into the Jade Palace of Yaochi and said he wanted to sober up. He ran to the Queen's medicine garden and stole the Ganoderma Lucidum."

The purple fairy also said: "Yes, he is so strong that we can't stop him at all."

The fairy in green said, "I am still eating now."

When Wang Lingguan heard what the Seven Fairies said, he immediately led his men into the Jade Palace of the Yao Chi and came to the elixir garden. As expected, he saw a man in a golden helmet and golden armor pulling elixirs inside.

He pulled out those Ganoderma lucidum herbs that were thousands of years old and put them directly into his mouth to chew.

Wang Lingguan stood in the medicine garden and saw that the once wonderful medicine garden had been destroyed beyond recognition.

Wang Lingguan immediately shouted, "Marshal Tianpeng, what are you doing?"

Zhu Lie turned around suddenly and saw that it was Wang Lingguan, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "It's Wang Lingguan, wait a minute, I'm sobering up. Uh." As he said that, he took another bite of the Ganoderma lucidum in his hand.

Wang Lingguan shouted sternly: "Marshal Tianpeng, His Majesty orders you to go to Tongming Palace as soon as possible to see him. Come with me."

After saying that, Wang Lingguan led his men forward, grabbed Zhu Lie and was about to take him away.

However, at this moment Zhu Lie's eyes turned red, and he suddenly began to struggle violently. He shook his left and right arms violently, and threw the two heavenly generals out.

Just as Wang Lingguan was about to step forward, Zhu Lie roared and revealed his Dharma form. He rushed forward and knocked Wang Lingguan out of the Jade Palace of Yao Chi.

Wang Lingguan landed gracefully on the ground. He was not injured, but was knocked flying by Zhu Lie's sudden force.

At this time, the seven fairies surrounded him, and Wang Lingguan immediately said to them: "Marshal Tianpeng drank the immortal wine and ate the Lingzhi immortal grass, and his mind is temporarily crazy. I am going to the Lingguan Palace to mobilize troops now. You must not go in, so as not to get hurt."

After saying that, Wang Lingguan flew directly back to the Lingguan Palace. Soon after, he gathered five hundred Lingguans and came to the Yaochi Jade Palace.

At this time, after Zhu Lie showed his Dharma image, he was still stealing Ganoderma lucidum in the fairy medicine garden, while Wang Lingguan brought five hundred spiritual officials to surround him from all directions on the ground.

Zhu Lie's whole body was emitting a manic red light. When he saw a group of people surrounding him with enemies, he immediately became ferocious and rushed in one direction with a roar.

The spiritual officials in that direction immediately formed a formation to block them, but they were all knocked away by Zhu Lie at the first sight.

Wang Lingguan said loudly: "This thief has eaten the Lingzhi immortal grass, and he has a violent and brute force in his body. Use the net to trap him."

When the spiritual officials heard this, they formed a formation and cast a net to chase after Zhu Lie. At this time, Zhu Lie had already rushed out of the fairy medicine garden and was rampaging in the Yao Chi Jade Palace.

A corridor was knocked down here, and several pavilions were knocked down there. The golden palace was shaking, and the jade buildings collapsed.

The seven fairies and the fairies from the Yao Chi Jade Palace were shouting and screaming outside, sweating profusely in anxiety.

At this moment, Zhu Lie had already rushed out of the Jade Palace of Yao Chi, and rushed left and right in Daluo Heaven. Finally, he was blocked outside the Douniu Palace by Wang Lingguan and his men.

Wang Lingguan flew to the center of the net himself, used his magic power to coordinate the four directions, and then led five hundred Lingguans to support the net and cover Zhu Lie.

With a loud bang, Wang Lingguan first subdued Zhu Lie with his great magical power, and then the net fell, trapping Zhu Lie in an instant.

Zhu Lie began to struggle violently. Even Wang Lingguan could not control the brute force he gained from eating so much Ganoderma lucidum.

With a loud roar, Wang Lingguan was once again blown away by Zhu Lie, but this time the net had already fallen. Wang Lingguan did not fly far before he immediately returned and took five hundred Lingguans to tighten the net.

Zhu Lie's Dharma Image was screaming and struggling forward. Suddenly, there was a loud bang and the Bullfighting Palace was knocked down by Zhu Lie.

The star gods of the Southern Dipper Palace and the Cowherd Palace who were on duty in the Douniu Palace flew out immediately. After seeing the scene in front of them, they immediately stepped forward to help Wang Lingguan capture Zhu Lie.

Soon Zhu Lie was completely tied up and captured, and then Wang Lingguan led five hundred spiritual officials to escort Zhu Lie straight to Tongming Palace.

The star gods of the Douniu Palace and the female fairies of the Yaochi Jade Palace also came to the Tongming Palace to file a complaint.
