I am a fairy in Journey to the West

The Great Emperor of the Western Peak, accompanied by Empress Suming, the Minister, and a host of celestial officials and generals, came out of the mountain gate to greet them. They saw the golden cudgel standing there like a pillar of heaven, suppressing the nine netherworlds below and touching the sky above.

Sun Wukong stood majestically on the cloud, clearly indicating that his visitor was not friendly.

Seeing the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain emerge with his celestial officials and divine generals, Sun Wukong descended from the clouds and landed in front of the gate.

The Great Emperor of the Western Peak quickly cupped his hands and smiled, "Great Sage, your presence at Mount Hua amidst your busy schedule truly brings honor to my humble abode of the Western Peak God."

Sun Wukong raised his hand and beckoned, and the giant golden cudgel quickly shrank and flew back into Sun Wukong's hand. Sun Wukong held the golden cudgel and walked towards the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain.

The surrounding gods rushed forward to block the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain, but before Sun Wukong could make a move, the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain shouted, "All of you, step back!"

Upon hearing this, the divine generals immediately accepted the order and retreated to both sides.

Sun Wukong arrived before the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain, slammed his golden cudgel on the ground, and said to the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain, "Your Majesty, please do not blame me for being rude. It is truly Your Majesty's fault for not teaching your daughter properly. Since I have come to question you, I cannot be too polite, lest people think I am easy to bully."

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain, Empress Suming, and Minister Zhi of the Divine Palace all looked bewildered.

"Great Sage, you say His Majesty has failed to properly educate his daughter? Why is that?" Minister Zhidu asked.

Empress Suming said, "Great Sage, we only have one daughter, who is currently traveling and cultivating outside. How could she have offended you? Could it be a demon impersonating her?"

"Is the Third Holy Mother of Qingyuan Mountain your daughter?" Sun Wukong asked, grasping the hand of the Great Emperor of the Western Peak.

The Great Emperor of the Western Peak frowned and said, "Great Sage, I don't know if the one in Qingyuan Mountain is my daughter, but the Third Holy Mother is indeed my daughter."

“That’s right,” Sun Wukong said. “That person in Qingyuan Mountain calls herself the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua. Who else could she be but your daughter?”

After saying this, Sun Wukong told the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain about the cassock, and then asked, "Is this because you have failed to properly educate your daughter? If you don't give me an explanation today, I will make a scene in the Western Mountain Divine Palace!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Western Peak quickly grabbed Sun Wukong's hand and said with a smile, "Great Sage, please calm down. Since such a thing has really happened, then regardless of whether the person in Qingyuan Mountain is my daughter or not, my husband and I will accompany you on this trip, Great Sage. How about it?"

Sun Wukong's expression softened, and he said, "Alright, alright, that's a good attitude. Let's set off now."

As he spoke, Sun Wukong took the hand of the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain and prepared to leave, but the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain said helplessly, "Great Sage, don't rush."

"What's wrong?" Sun Wukong asked. "What are you delaying for? Are you going to tip off the Third Holy Mother?"

"Not at all," the Great Emperor of the Western Peak said with a smile, tugging at his imperial robe. "Great Sage, shouldn't we at least change our clothes?"

Sun Wukong realized what was happening and immediately nodded, saying, "Okay, okay, try to get it as quickly as possible."

The Great Emperor of the Western Peak said, "Great Sage, while you are changing your clothes, why don't you go to your residence for a cup of tea first?"

"No, no, I won't drink it," Sun Wukong said. "I'll just wait here in front of the mountain gate. I can't drink it until I get the cassock back."

"This..." The Great Emperor of the Western Peak was taken aback for a moment, then laughed and said, "Alright, alright, then Great Sage, please wait a moment."

After saying this, the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain left Minister Zhi Du to stay with Sun Wukong, while he and Empress Suming returned to the Divine Palace to change out of their imperial robes and into everyday Taoist robes.

It must be said that after changing into these everyday Taoist robes, the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain and Empress Suming no longer appeared solemn and dignified, but rather a handsome couple with extraordinary beauty.

After changing into their everyday clothes, the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain and his wife arrived at the mountain gate, handed over the affairs of the Divine Palace to Minister Zhi Du, and left directly with Sun Wukong without any divine generals or attendants.

On the way to Qingyuan Mountain, the Great Emperor of the Western Peak said to Sun Wukong, "Great Sage, if that person is truly my daughter, my husband and I will naturally help you subdue her. If she is not my daughter, but a demon in disguise, then we are afraid we are powerless to help."

Sun Wukong said, "Of course. If she weren't the real Third Holy Mother, I, Old Sun, wouldn't make things difficult for Your Majesty."

As they spoke, the three of them arrived at Qingyuan Mountain. They flew up to the top of the temple on colorful clouds. Sun Wukong used his golden cudgel to prop himself up, pressed down on the clouds, and shouted down, "You thief, your grandpa Sun is here. Why don't you come out and pay your respects?"

Upon hearing Sun Wukong's words, Empress Suming's expression became somewhat unnatural.

If that person wasn't the Third Holy Mother, that would be fine. But if he really was the Third Holy Mother, wouldn't Sun Wukong become her father?
The Great Emperor of the Western Peak stood there with a smile, pretending not to have heard Sun Wukong's words.

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, a beam of celestial light flew out from the houses and temple below, with a lotus lantern shining brightly above its head.

Just by looking at this figure, the expressions of the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain and Empress Suming became solemn. Whether it was their child or not, they could tell at a glance.

As soon as the Third Holy Mother flew out, she immediately pointed upwards and shouted, "Great Sage, have you come to apologize this time?"

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "You little brat, look at those two up there and see who they are?"

Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of the Three Realms immediately looked up at the auspicious clouds in the sky and saw two extremely familiar figures standing there.

However, this location was somewhat backlit, so the Third Holy Mother also flew up into the air on a cloud, and only then could she clearly see the appearance of the two people.

"Father? Mother?" The Third Holy Mother's expression changed, and she hurriedly stepped forward. "Father, Mother, what brings you here?"

But before she could reach her, Sun Wukong blocked her way with his golden cudgel. When the Third Princess saw Sun Wukong standing in front of her, she immediately understood and shouted, "Sun Wukong, you are too audacious! How dare you kidnap the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain and Empress Suming! Aren't you afraid of the Heavenly Laws?"

Sun Wukong laughed heartily, looking at the Third Princess and saying, "I, Old Sun, have smashed up the Heavenly Palace, what are the Heavenly Laws compared to that?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Holy Mother raised her Lotus Lantern to strike, but the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain, seeing this, quickly shouted, "Stop!" Hearing this shout, the Third Holy Mother immediately stopped and said to the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain, "Father, Mother, don't be afraid. Once I drive away Sun Wukong, I will be able to save you."

"Nonsense." The Great Emperor of the Western Peak took a step forward and went straight to the Third Holy Mother. "Quickly put away your magic weapon. You must not be disrespectful to the Great Sage Qitian."

"What? Father, what are you doing?" The Third Holy Mother asked, her face full of confusion. "Why?"

The Great Emperor of the Western Peak said, "Quickly hand over that cassock and return it to the Great Sage Equal to Heaven."

"No," said the Third Holy Mother. "He hasn't apologized to me yet!"

Apologize to you? The Great Emperor of the Western Mountain laughed in anger. Back when Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor didn't even make him apologize. Who do you think you are?
"Don't be ridiculous," said the Great Emperor of the Western Peak. "Quickly return the cassock to the Great Sage. That cassock was given to Jin Chanzi by Guanyin Bodhisattva. What are you doing with it?"

“I didn’t take it,” said the Third Holy Mother. “Someone gave it to me without my knowledge.”

The Great Emperor of the Western Peak said, "Since you are unaware of this, then return the robe to the person who gave it to you, and the matter will be cleared up."

The Third Holy Mother insisted, "Father, you don't know, he barged into my room as soon as he arrived. He is so rude. If he doesn't apologize, I won't return the cassock."

Sun Wukong quickly said, "This is not my fault. Who sent those seven fairies here? I naturally assumed you were the mastermind, which is why I transformed myself to investigate."

Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of the Western Peak immediately smiled and asked, "Did you see anything?"

The Third Holy Mother's face flushed red immediately, and she said, "What did you see? How could my daughter possibly live?"

“That’s settled then. The Great Sage has been vanquishing demons and protecting Tang Sanzang on his journey to the West to obtain the scriptures, so he naturally doesn’t have many rules to follow. Nühua, quickly return the cassock to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven,” the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain said softly.

The Third Holy Mother was still unwilling. At this moment, Empress Suming flew over and said to the Third Holy Mother with a serious expression, "Nühua, take out the cassock and return it to the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"

The Third Holy Mother pouted, looking quite unwilling. Seeing this, Empress Suming stepped forward, staring at the Third Holy Mother and said, "Nü Hua!"

The Great Emperor of the Western Mountain also spoke up: "Nü Hua, do you not even listen to your father and mother?"

Finally, unable to withstand the pressure from her parents, the Holy Mother sighed and took out the brocade cassock, casually tossing it to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong reached out and caught the brocade cassock, examined it carefully, and immediately put it away after confirming that it was in good condition.

Having retrieved the brocade cassock, Sun Wukong immediately beamed and said to the Third Holy Mother, "You say I, Old Sun, was rude? I admit it, but there were reasons at the time, so an apology is impossible. How about this, consider it an obligation I owe you, and I will definitely repay you in the future."

After saying this, Sun Wukong bowed to the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain and Empress Suming and said, "Thank you Your Majesty and Empress for coming all this way to help me. I have offended the Divine Palace before, and I will definitely come to apologize after I complete the journey to the West."

"Not at all." The Great Emperor of the Western Mountain was naturally overjoyed to see that the matter had been resolved perfectly and that Sun Wukong had even owed the Third Holy Mother a favor.

“Great Sage, what are you saying? This is all as it should be,” said the Great Emperor of the Western Peak.

Sun Wukong said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the cassock has been retrieved. I must return to report to my master, so I will take my leave now."

The Great Emperor of the Western Peak and Empress Suming nodded and smiled, "Great Sage has important matters to attend to, so don't worry about us here. You should go back quickly."

So Sun Wukong bid farewell to the three Great Emperors of the Western Mountain, turned around, and rode his somersault cloud back to Chixian Mountain.

After returning to the cave in Chixian Mountain, Tang Sanzang had already woken up under the care of Sha Wujing and learned about the events of the past few days. Upon seeing Sun Wukong return, he hurriedly asked, "Wukong, did you bring back the cassock?"

Sun Wukong took out the cassock and handed it to Tang Sanzang, saying, "Master, the cassock is here."

Tang Sanzang took the cassock and examined it carefully. Then he nodded and smiled, "Good, good, it's good to have it back." He then told Sha Wujing to put the cassock back in his suitcase.

Then Tang Sanzang asked Sun Wukong, "Wukong, the official document is still missing."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Master, don't worry. The seven fairies have taken the travel permits to the capital of Zhituo Kingdom. We are about to pass through there. Right now, Little White Dragon and Pigsy have arrived there to keep watch. We can just go directly there."

At this point, Sun Wukong added, "Once we reach the capital, we will first retrieve the travel permit, then visit the king to have it stamped with the official seal, and then we can leave the country directly."

Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang smiled and said, "This is indeed convenient. Alright, let's do it your way."

So the three of them left the cave and prepared to head to Bashe City. But as soon as they left the cave, Sun Wukong suddenly realized, "Oh no, the Purple Dragon Horse is still at Wanfu Temple."

Upon hearing this, Sha Wujing suddenly realized, "Oh dear, I've been so busy with other things these past few days that I completely forgot about the Purple Dragon Horse. I wonder if the Purple Dragon Horse is still in the stables at Wanfu Temple."

Tang Sanzang said, "Then we'll have to go to the city to retrieve the Purple Dragon Horse first, and then we'll head to Bashe City."

So the three of them descended Chixian Mountain and headed towards Guiming Prefecture. But when they arrived in the city, they found that everything had changed drastically.

It turns out that the governor of Guiming Prefecture and the abbot of Wanfu Temple were both killed by Sun Wukong, so the court of Zhituo Kingdom sent a new governor.

The new prefect closed Wanfu Temple as soon as he arrived, because what happened at Wanfu Temple that night had alarmed the entire prefecture. Everyone saw a 'demon' with a skull statue appear in Wanfu Temple, and in the end, the demon was killed by a golden-glowing deity.

Therefore, the new prefect naturally had to investigate, and this investigation clarified the matters concerning the former prefect and Wanfu Temple.

The new prefect then ordered the closure of Wanfu Temple, arrested all the monks, and confiscated all of Wanfu Temple's assets, including the magnificent purple dragon horse. (End of Chapter)
