I am a fairy in Journey to the West

A group of porters carried vegetables, wine and meat up the Chixian Mountain and arrived outside the Chixin Cave.

Outside the cave, several smart and clever boys were helping out, sorting and arranging the wine, meat and vegetables brought by the porters.

Then a boy turned and ran to the cave entrance and shouted inside, "Manager Lan, the porters from the foot of the mountain are here to deliver wine, meat and food again."

Not long after, a tall and strong woman with tied hair and rolled up sleeves and strong muscles walked out of the cave.

When the porters saw this, they immediately stood up, smiled and saluted, saying, "Manager Lan."

These porters were dressed in shorts and had their trouser legs rolled up. They all had bronze skin, strong muscles and were extremely strong.

But in front of this Chief Steward Lan, they seemed a little weak, simply because this Chief Steward Lan was so "majestic and strong".

He is nine feet tall, with hands like hammers, arms like iron, and legs that move with great vigor. His body is extremely strong and sturdy, especially between his eyebrows there is an extremely majestic "king" character pattern.

That’s right, this Chief Steward Lan is none other than Hu Xianfeng’s wife ‘Lan’er’. After she left Lingtai Mountain, she has been living here with Chi Ling.

Chi Ling became the master of the Chixin Cave Heaven. She worked as a "general manager" here, waiting for the pilgrims to arrive.

Lan Er took out some silver from her sleeve and handed it to the porters, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. Remember to bring the vegetables up on time on the third day of next month."

The porters happily accepted the money and expressed their gratitude profusely. After all, the people in the mountains were simple and honest, and had never owed them money over the years.

For hundreds of years, the Chixin Cave has supported countless farmers and porters living at the foot of the mountain. Firstly, the Chixin Cave has never defaulted on the payment of money, and secondly, it has never lowered the price.

Sometimes there is a good harvest at the foot of the mountain and the price of grain is low. Farmers cannot even make back their investment if they sell the grain at the foot of the mountain. At this time, they can carry the grains to the mountain to sell.

Chixin Dongtian has been offering a fair price that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years, so that farmers will not lose money.

But the gentry and wealthy people at the foot of the mountain could not stand this and often did bad things secretly. Some hired people to intercept farmers on the way and steal their food, while others wanted to cheat Chixin Dongtian.

But later, the monsters in Chixian Mountain came down the mountain and killed several wealthy families who were unkind, and those gentry and wealthy people became obedient.

The porters paid for the wine, meat, food, and silver, then carried their loads down the mountain.

Lan'er stretched out her arms, picked up thousands of kilograms of wine, meat and food outside the cave, and walked into the cave.

After entering the Chixin Cave, a noisy sound was heard. Lan'er turned her head and saw a beautiful girl in red clothes drinking and playing finger-guessing games with a group of monsters.

Those monsters were all big and strong, fierce and ferocious, but they were extremely respectful to the girl in red.

Just as everyone was leaving, the girl in red saw Lan'er carrying something, and she put down her wine glass and slammed the table, saying, "Stop drinking, and help Manager Lan carry the things."

"Okay." The monsters responded loudly, and then walked towards Lan'er together. In an instant, they took all the things from Lan'er and carried them to the warehouse.

The girl in red was Chi Ling. She had lived a very comfortable life over the past few hundred years, and there was a hint of wildness between her brows.

"Sister Lan, come and have a drink." Chi Ling said, putting his arm around Lan'er's shoulders.

Lan Er smiled and said, "Drink as you like, but don't forget the instructions of the Master."

"I won't forget, I won't forget." Chi Ling waved her hand and said, "But hasn't Tang Monk come yet?"

At this point, Chi Ling opened his mouth and called out, "General Dog."

Soon a man with a dog-like face ran over, bowed to Chi Ling and asked, "What do you want, cave master?"

Chi Ling said, "Take a few people to check and see where the pilgrim is now."

"Understood, sir." The dog vanguard received the order and then quickly walked out of the cave.

At this time, the monsters had already put the wine, meat and food into the warehouse and returned. Chi Ling looked at the monsters and waved, saying, "That's all for today. I'm going to take a rest. You can go do your own things."

At this time, a sturdy man with a bear-like face asked, "Master, can I go down the mountain?"

Chi Ling asked: "What are you going to do down the mountain?"

The horse bear spirit said, "I'll go buy some honey and come back to make some honey cakes."

Chi Ling nodded and said, "Okay, go quickly and come back soon. Remember not to cause trouble, or I will peel off your bear skin."

The horse bear spirit nodded repeatedly and said, "Remember the cave master. I'll go then."

After the horse bear demon left, the rest of the monsters also left. Chi Ling drunkenly said to Lan'er, "Sister Lan'er, I'll trouble you to take care of the things in the cave. I'm going to go to sleep first."

Lan Er smiled and said, "Go ahead."

Chi Ling staggered back to her bedroom, lay down on the couch mumbling, and fell into a deep sleep on the spot.

At the same time, outside the Chixin Cave, Zhuang Yan landed on auspicious clouds.

The two children at the door immediately became alert when they saw this. When Zhuang Yan came forward, they stopped him and asked, "Which immortal are you? What are you doing in my Red Heart Cave Heaven?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "I'm here to find your cave master."

The little boy on the left said, "The cave master just fell asleep. Please come back later."

Zhuang Yan added: "It's okay for her to sleep. She will wake up when I come."

The little boy on the right said, "You are such a boaster. Do you have such a great reputation? Can you wake up our cave master?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Why not let them know, and they will know that what I said is true."

The two boys looked at each other, then shook their heads and said, "The cave master is in a bad mood, so we dare not inform him. You should come back later."

Zhuang Yan smiled slightly, and suddenly took out a bunch of fist-sized crystal grapes from his sleeve and handed them over, "Look, what is this?"

The two children's eyes widened immediately, and they came closer to take a look and asked, "Apple?"

"No, this is not an apple, it's clearly a pear."

"This isn't a pear. How can a pear be so clear?"

"What is that? It smells so good."

Zhuang Yan listened to the two children's discussion and said with a smile: "This is a grape, also known as 'Jade Green Grape', which is a fairy product grown by the Buddha. Can you help me inform them and I will give you these grapes?"

"Really?" the two children asked with their eyes wide open.

Without saying anything, Zhuang Yan divided the bunch of jade green grapes into two and handed them to the two boys. After receiving the green grapes, the two boys stepped aside and said, "Master Immortal, there is no need to inform us, you can just go in directly."

Zhuang Yan was surprised and asked, "Won't you be punished if you let me in like this?"

The two boys laughed and said, "Our cave master is very capable, and nothing will happen if we let you in. Besides, we have Manager Lan here, so don't be afraid."

"Oh." Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "You just want to take some bribes, right?"

"This is called a stepping stone." said the boy on the left. Then the two of them ignored Zhuang Yan and sat aside, holding grapes and starting to eat them.

Seeing them like this, Zhuang Yan just smiled and walked into the Chixin Cave.

As soon as you enter the cave, you will feel the cool breeze blowing on your face. The cave is clean and simple, antique and elegantly decorated. There are pavilions, small pavilions, tables, chairs and stone couches. Occasionally, the sound of sandalwood wafts through the cave, which makes you feel relaxed and happy.

At this time, Lan'er was cleaning up the mess left by Chi Ling and the others drinking. Suddenly, she noticed a hint of auspicious aura in the cave and quickly turned around to look over.

Upon seeing this, Lan Er was startled at first, and then came forward with a look of surprise: "Master?! Why are you here?"

After saying this, he came up to pay his respects to Zhuang Yan. Zhuang Yan held out his hand to support him, saying, "No need to be polite. Stand up."

The next moment, Lan'er's body, which was bowing, was naturally lifted up by a force. Lan'er quickly turned around and pointed to the stone table beside her and said, "Master, please take a seat. I'll make you some tea."

Zhuang Yan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "You go ahead and do your thing. Where's the Snake Vanguard?"

Lan Er smiled and said, "Chi Ling just drank some wine and is very drunk now. She is sleeping in the bedroom."

As she spoke, Lan'er raised her hand and pointed to the cave hall where Chi Ling was. Zhuang Yan nodded slightly and walked over.

When he arrived outside the cave hall, he saw that the door was ajar. Zhuang Yan gently pushed it open and walked in.

I saw Chi Ling sleeping with her clothes on, lying on the couch in a very casual posture. Her face was red and there was a trace of shiny saliva hanging from the corner of her mouth.

As soon as Zhuang Yan walked in, he heard a crunching sound. Upon closer inspection, he found that it was Chi Ling grinding her teeth.

Zhuang Yan walked forward and patted Chi Ling's pink face a few times, "Wake up, someone is looking for you."

Chi Ling was sleeping soundly. She grumbled for a while after being slapped like this, then turned over and continued to sleep, saying, "Go away, don't disturb my sleep."

After saying that, Chi Ling fell into a deep sleep again and continued to grind his teeth.

With a smile on his face, Zhuang Yan reached out and grabbed Chi Ling's ear, then lifted her up from the couch.

This immediately woke Chi Ling up in pain. She quickly covered her ears and yelled, "Who?! Which bastard dared to disturb your sweet dreams?!"

Chi Ling looked drunk, his eyes were red as he looked over, and he raised his hand and punched him.

Zhuang Yan grabbed Chi Ling's fist, and Chi Ling could see Zhuang Yan's face clearly at this time.

But because she was still drunk, she seemed a little dazed. When she saw Zhuang Yan, she just felt familiar, but didn't recognize who he was, so she asked with a big tongue: "Who are you? Why do you look so familiar? Hmm? Are you a distant relative of mine?"

Then, Chi Ling shook her head again and asked, "What's your name?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, “Zhuang Yan.”

"Zhuang Yan? Zhuang Yan Zhuang Yan!!!" Suddenly Chi Ling's eyes widened, and cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

The next moment, Chi Ling suddenly jumped down from the bed. White smoke was seen coming out of her head as she used her magic power to remove the alcohol from her body. Then she fell in front of Zhuang Yan and knelt down with a plop. "Chi Ling greets the True Lord. I was drunk and rude just now. I offended the True Lord. Please punish me."

Zhuang Yan smiled and asked, "Get up. You have only been down the mountain for a few hundred years. How come you have become a drunkard?"

Hearing this, Chi Ling knew that Zhuang Yan didn't care about what happened just now, and he breathed a sigh of relief, then stood up and said, "Master, you asked me to come down the mountain to stop that monkey, and I have been waiting for hundreds of years. I really have nothing to do, so I developed this hobby."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "It's good to develop this hobby. It's much better than causing harm to others."

Chi Ling's eyes turned red, and she looked at Zhuang Yan and said, "Master, we haven't seen each other for hundreds of years. You don't know how much I miss you and everyone in Lingtai Mountain."

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "It will be soon. You can go back soon."

Chi Ling was delighted when she heard this and asked, "Really?"

Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "The pilgrims have passed the Western Liang Women's Kingdom. They will reach your place in three or four months at most. You must be prepared."

Upon hearing this, Chi Ling immediately became excited and said, "Don't worry, Master. I have magical powers and treasures bestowed by Master. I will capture as many people as possible!"

Zhuang Yan said, "Your only magical power is the 'Hidden Seven Inches' that I gave you, and your only magic weapon is the 'Heavenly King Golden Halberd', right?"

Chi Ling said: "Not only that, Master, have you forgotten that you also gave me a 'Xuan Li Vajra Pill', which enabled me to refine the Vajra-indestructible body of 'Golden Bone and Rock Scales'."

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "If you want to intercept the pilgrims, having a good body is just a prerequisite. Otherwise, the golden cudgel will smash you into pieces with one blow. What's the point of having many tricks?"

Chi Ling hesitated when he heard this and said, "I have magical powers, magic weapons, and a physical body. Is that enough to deal with that monkey?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "The Wukong today is no longer the same as before. He is no longer the stone monkey who could only 'grind your teeth' for you."

At this point, Zhuang Yan took out the 'Black Gold Slingshot' and 'Wonderful Fish Basket', handed them to Chi Ling and said, "This Black Gold Slingshot can fire Black Gold Divine Edges to injure people without being seen. This Wonderful Fish Basket has been refined by me, once used it can emit divine light, catching people like catching fish. These two magic weapons each have their own wonderful uses, you can take them."

Upon seeing this, Chi Ling quickly reached out to receive the two magic weapons, then bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for the gift of the treasures."

Zhuang Yan waved his hand and said, "As long as you stop the pilgrims here and complete one difficulty in their pilgrimage, your merit will be fulfilled."

Chi Ling bowed and said, "I will obey the command of the True Lord."

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan took Chi Ling out of the cave hall. Lan Er had been waiting outside. When Zhuang Yan saw Lan Er, he immediately took out the Nine Suns True Light Sword, handed it to Lan Er and said with a smile: "Since you are here too, then you can help Chi Ling. I have refined this sword and it has become a wonderful treasure. You should keep it well. It will be useful to you in the future when you are dealing with the pilgrims."

Lan Er did not refuse upon hearing this, and immediately stepped forward to take the Nine Suns True Light Sword, then bowed and said, "Yes, True Lord."

After finishing all this, Zhuang Yan turned around and said to Chi Ling: "The pilgrims still have a long way to go to get here, so you should make preparations early."

At this point, Zhuang Yan added, "But at any time, do not hurt anyone's life. After you capture Tang Monk, Wukong and the others will have to ask the gods and Buddhas for help. At that time, as long as no one's life is hurt, you don't need to show mercy. Do you understand what I mean?"

Chi Ling and Lan Er smiled at each other, then bowed and said, "Yes."

After saying this, auspicious clouds rose from under Zhuang Yan’s feet, and his figure instantly turned into a ray of auspicious light and disappeared.

Chi Ling and Lan Er hurriedly bowed their heads and said, "Farewell, Master." (End of this chapter)
