I am a fairy in Journey to the West

The sky is clear and the sun is shining. Everything on Mount Tai is bright and the mountains and waters are picturesque.

The Demon Subduing Division was established by the True Immortal Huo Ling and is a department under the jurisdiction of the Dongyue Tianqi Divine Palace.

The Fire Spirit Immortal then reported to the Emperor of Dongyue, who conferred upon Liu Yan the title of 'Grand Commander of Dongyue to subdue demons', putting him in charge of the 'Demon Subduing Division'.

Under the Demon Subduing Division, there is a position called 'Demon Subduing General'. The duties of the Demon Subduing Generals are equal, but their ranks are different.

For example, the three heavenly generals Bi Huo, Bi Zhen and Tian Wu are also sixth-rank gods like Liu Yan, but they are still demon-suppressing generals.

The Great Sage Huangfeng is a seventh-rank god and a demon-slaying general like Bi Huo, Bi Zhen and Tian Wu.

As for Jiang Han and Liu Jin, after joining the Demon-Suppressing Division, they were awarded the rank of 'Ninth-Rank God'. Although they were both demon-suppressing generals, their rank was the lowest.

On this day, Queen Shuming of Dongyue invited Immortal Huo Ling to taste tea in Zixia Hall of Dongyue Palace.

An hour later, the Fire Spirit Immortal walked out of the Zixia Palace with a strange expression. Her face was a mixture of surprise, astonishment, confusion, and even a hint of gloating.

After returning to Tianqi Divine Palace, Immortal Huo Ling had just taken his seat in the Taizhen Palace when Liu Yan walked in. Seeing Immortal Huo Ling at the top of the table, he quickly stepped forward to greet him, "Shang Qing, you're back."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded, and then asked Liu Yan, "Has Madam Lou Guang been exiled?"

Liu Yan said, "No, not yet. Her son Ju Ming requested to be exiled to the Small Wasteland with his mother. I am about to report this to you."

"Oh?" Fire Spirit Immortal was surprised for a moment, but soon nodded and said, "This is also human nature, okay?"

"Yes." Liu Yan responded, and then said: "Daoyou Liujin's disciple Su Yimei is here too. She said she wanted to send Juming off. Daoyou Liujin is very worried and doesn't know what to do."

Fire Spirit Immortal asked: "What is the relationship between Su Yimei and Ju Ming?"

"Friend." Liu Yan said.

Fire Spirit Immortal said: "Alright, the laws of heaven and punishment have been determined, and the rest can be handled with some human touch, it's not a big deal."

Liu Yan bowed and said, "Yes, Lord."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded slightly, and then asked, "Did the Demon King Peng pass the promotion?"

"Passed." Liu Yan smiled and said, "It's just that he seems to be reluctant to leave those beautiful wives and concubines in the Eighty-Four Peaks, and is not very willing to come here to serve as the Demon-Subduing Divine General."

Fire Spirit Immortal said: "Bring him here."

"Yes." Liu Yan bowed and then turned and left Taizhen Palace.

Soon, Liu Yan brought Demon King Peng to the Taizhen Palace. It was the first time that Demon King Peng saw the Fire Spirit Immortal, but he knew that this was the most powerful person in the entire Dongyue Divine Palace except for the Emperor Dongyue, so he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, saying, "The little immortal greets the Fire Spirit Lord."

Fire Spirit Immortal said directly: "Lingtai Zhenjun asked you to participate in the promotion of the Demon Subduing God General to give you a chance to reform yourself."

At this point, the True Immortal Huo Ling took out a jade scroll and placed it on the table, saying, "This contains records of all the immortal cultivators you have intercepted and eaten in the Eighty-Four Peaks over the years. Although you did not eat mortals, all the immortal cultivators you ate have backgrounds. If these records are leaked out and someone asks me to subdue demons and monsters, I will not show mercy."

Demon King Peng's expression changed, and he said to the Fire Spirit Immortal, "Lord Fire Spirit, what do you mean by this?"

"I have made my meaning very clear. I have asked you to serve in the Demon Subduing Division to give you a chance to reform yourself and abandon evil and do good."

"If you don't cherish this opportunity, then there is no need for me to keep you in the Demon Subduing Division, let alone keep the Eighty-Four Peaks."

At the end, the Fire Spirit Immortal simply threw the jade slip in front of him and said, "It's your choice whether you want to reform yourself or die and your clan be exterminated."

Demon King Peng's expression suddenly changed. He stared at the True Immortal Huo Ling for a long time, then took a deep breath and said, "I only serve True Lord Ling Tai."

"What?" Fire Spirit Immortal was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he said in astonishment, "What did you say?"

Seeing her so surprised, Demon King Peng couldn't help but said proudly: "I only obey Lingtai Zhenjun, so I will go to Qingping Mountain to serve Lingtai Zhenjun."

The Fire Spirit Immortal was stunned at first, then he burst out laughing, and Liu Yan on the side could no longer hold back.

"Do you know why Lingtai Zhenjun wants you to come to Dongyue Divine Palace to participate in the promotion of divine generals?" asked Huoling Zhenxian.

Demon King Peng said, “I don’t know.”

Fire Spirit Immortal asked: "Then do you know what I did before?"

Demon King Peng continued to shake his head and said, "I don't know."

Huo Ling Zhenxian smiled and said, "Then let me tell you, when Ling Tai Zhenjun was still the Ling Tai Mountain God, I had already followed him. I am Ling Tai Zhenjun's man."

This time it was Peng Demon King's turn to be surprised, "Are you saying that you are a subordinate of Lingtai Zhenjun?"

"That's right." Fire Spirit Immortal pointed at Liu Yan and said, "He is also. Now all the gods and generals in the entire Dongyue Tianqi Divine Palace are all Lingtai Zhenjun's men."

"But..." Demon King Peng was stunned for a long time, then said: "This is Dongyue Tianqi Divine Palace"

Huo Ling Zhenxian laughed and said, "Why? Ling Tai Zhenjun's people can't take care of Dong Yue Tian Qi Divine Mansion's affairs?"

Having said this, Fire Spirit True Immortal stood up and walked down the steps of the palace, saying to Demon King Peng: "Come with me."

The Demon King Peng immediately asked with vigilance: "Where are you going?"

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "It's definitely not the execution ground."

After saying that, Fire Spirit Immortal walked straight around Demon King Peng and walked out of Taizhen Palace. Seeing this, Demon King Peng hesitated for a moment, but finally followed him.

Not long after, Demon King Peng followed the Fire Spirit Immortal to the outside of a pavilion.

Demon King Peng looked up and saw that the building was square and had three large characters on the plaque: "Teleportation Building."

"Teleportation building?" Demon King Peng was surprised and had no idea what this meant.

The Fire Spirit Immortal walked into the teleportation building, and the Demon King Peng frowned slightly, then followed him in.

As soon as he entered, he saw that the building had only one floor, with nothing above his head. In the middle of the building stood an array altar, and the Fire Spirit Immortal had already walked onto the array altar. "Come up," said the Fire Spirit Immortal.

Demon King Peng was a little hesitant, fearing that it was a trap. After all, it was an array altar. Once he was trapped in it, he would not even have the chance to resist.

"Why? Are you afraid of a trick?" Fire Spirit Immortal said with a smile, "Well, I'll leave first, you can go back to the Eighty-Four Peaks by yourself."

Hearing this, Demon King Peng gritted his teeth, and immediately stepped onto the altar. All his magical power was already in operation, and his eyes were staring at the surroundings vigilantly.

After a while, the Fire Spirit Immortal raised his hand and pointed at the bronze sundial above the formation altar. Suddenly, a star-like fairy light lit up on the bronze sundial.

The Demon King Peng's eyes went dark and he felt that he had lost all six senses, but he was still conscious.

But this feeling of being out of control only lasted for a moment. After a moment, his eyes lit up again. When he saw everything clearly in front of him, he was stunned.

He found that he was still in the pavilion, with the altar still under his feet, and all the furnishings and arrangements around him were exactly the same.

Demon King Peng checked his body first, but there was nothing abnormal. What was going on? Demon King Peng turned his head and looked at the Fire Spirit Immortal.

But the Fire Spirit Immortal flew down the altar on his own and walked out of the pavilion.

Seeing this, Demon King Peng had no choice but to follow him out. However, as soon as he walked out of the pavilion, he suddenly realized that the scenery outside was not Mount Tai, but another mountain.

"Aunt Huo Ling." Xiu Huang ran over. Huo Ling Zhenxian responded with a smile, rubbed Xiu Huang's head, and asked, "Is Zhenjun here?"

Xiu Huang nodded and said, "Yes, the master is drinking tea in Qingfeng Pavilion."

Fire Spirit Immortal nodded slightly, then turned to Demon King Peng and said, "Come with me to see Lingtai Zhenjun."

Demon King Peng was startled and quickly tidied his appearance, then followed the Fire Spirit Immortal to the outside of the Qingfeng Pavilion.

After listening to the report from True Immortal Huo Ling, Zhuang Yan looked at Demon King Peng and said with a smile, "Why? Don't you want to work in the Demon Subduing Palace?"

Demon King Peng said quickly, "That is absolutely not the case. Since I have been saved by the True Lord, I am willing to turn over a new leaf and make a fresh start. However, I still have many worldly karmic connections in the 84 Peaks Dojo. I don't know how to deal with them."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "That's easy. There are two ways."

Upon hearing this, Demon King Peng immediately bowed and said, "Please give me your instructions, Master."

Zhuang Yan said, "The first way is that I will issue an imperial decree to have the heavenly soldiers and generals of the Thunder Department come down to the mortal world to deal with it. The second way is that you go back and spend all your wealth and properly settle your wives, concubines, and children. But you must ensure that they do not commit evil deeds in the mortal world after they leave. You can choose between these two ways."

When Demon King Peng heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat. If the masters from the Thunder Department were really to come down to deal with the matter, then it would be considered a good deed for their family if there was even one person alive among the eighty-four peaks.

The second method was obviously a punishment for him occupying the eighty-four peaks and robbing passing monks for food over the years.

Without waiting for the Demon King Peng to answer, Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "Go ahead. I'll give you ten days to make a decision. If you have any questions, just go to Taishan Divine Palace to find the True Immortal Fire Spirit."

The Demon King Peng immediately swallowed all the words he wanted to say, then bowed and said, "Yes, Master. I will take my leave."

After the Demon King Peng took his leave, he spread his wings and flew away into the sky, disappearing in a moment.

Zhuang Yan smiled and said to the Fire Spirit Immortal: "Sit down, what are you doing here?"

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and walked to the other side of the stone table and sat down. Xiu Huang immediately stepped forward to make tea for her.

Huo Ling Zhenxian glanced at the steaming teacup in front of him, and then said, "Well, today, Empress Shuming of Dongyue asked me to check in Zixia Palace and told me something."

Zhuang Yan asked, "What's the matter?"

The Fire Spirit Immortal glanced around and said, "Empress Shuming asked me if Wangshu is married."

Zhuang Yan was stunned. "What?"

The Fire Spirit Immortal chuckled and said, "True Lord, Queen Shuming seems to want to ask Daoist Wangshu to marry the Fifth Prince, Marquis Xuanling."

Zhuang Yan was speechless for a long while, then he burst into laughter and said to Xiu Huang, "Go call Wangshu over."

Xiu Huang responded with a smile, then turned around and ran into the temple.

A moment later, Wangshu rushed into the Qingfeng Pavilion with a gust of wind, grabbed Huo Ling Zhenxian and said, "What did you say at that time?!!!"

The Fire Spirit Immortal was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "I said no problem, it's OK."

“Ahhhhh!” Wangshu grabbed Fire Spirit Immortal’s shoulders with both hands and shook him desperately, “How can you be my master without my permission!!! Who said I’m getting married? Ahhhh!”

“Alright, alright.” Fire Spirit Immortal couldn’t stand being shaken any more, and hurriedly pressed Wangshu’s cheek and said, “I was just teasing you. I just said I have to ask you about this matter first.”

Wangshu suddenly stopped, stared at the Fire Spirit Immortal and asked, "Really?"

"Really." Fire Spirit Immortal said, "I came back this time to ask for your opinion so that I can report back to Queen Shuming."

Wangshu immediately smiled, put his arm around Fire Spirit Immortal's shoulders, and kissed her on the cheek.

The Fire Spirit Immortal was furious for a moment, and suddenly raised his hand to wipe his face and shouted angrily: "What are you doing?"

Wangshu quickly hugged the angry Fire Spirit Immortal and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I just don't know how to thank you. I will go to Dongyue with you and explain this matter to Queen Shuming."

Fire Spirit Immortal was still glaring, while Wangshu turned his head to look at Zhuang Yan.

Zhuang Yan smiled calmly and said, "Go ahead. If you don't want to, then you should make it clear in person to save trouble later."

"Okay." Wangshu responded, then looked at the Fire Spirit Immortal and said with a smile: "Sister Fire Spirit, the Immortal Lord has spoken, look."

Fire Spirit Immortal said coldly: "Since the True Lord has spoken, then go ahead, but stay away from me, it's really disgusting."

Wangshu chuckled and released Fire Spirit Immortal's shoulders with both hands.

Fire Spirit Immortal wiped the place on his face that Wangshu had kissed him just now with his hands over and over again, feeling extremely uncomfortable. (End of this chapter)
