I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Chapter 87: Peach blossoms grow in the mountains, the Jade Order announces Zhuang Yan

Several months have passed since Sun Wukong was suppressed in the Five Finger Mountain. Today, the world is stable and peaceful, but the reputation of the Monkey King has spread among the gods in the three realms.

The Jade Emperor did not revoke the title of "The Great Sage Equaling Heaven" and still retained it. However, a group of old immortals mentioned this matter every time they attended court meetings, which annoyed the Jade Emperor.

On this day, Zhuang Yan was drinking tea leisurely outside the Lingtai Divine Palace, while the True Immortal Huo Ling brought Chi Ling, Lan'er, Hu Lailai and Hu Ququ to pick peaches in the peach orchard.

Tiger Vanguard sat aside, holding the Tiannie Sword and practicing Taoism.

At this time, Zhuang Yan suddenly called out, "Tiger Vanguard."

Tiger Vanguard opened his eyes, quickly stood up and came to Zhuang Yan, saying, "What do you want, Lord God?"

Zhuang Yan asked, "Has anything major happened in Guangci Prefecture recently?"

Tiger Vanguard shook his head and said, "My Lord, I have been patrolling the surrounding areas recently, and nothing major has happened."

"Yes." Zhuang Yan nodded and said, "There are not many big things in the world, but small things happen all the time. You should always pay attention to it. If you find anything unusual, deal with it as soon as possible."

Tiger Vanguard bowed and said, "Yes, Lord God."

Zhuang Yan then said, "When you have time, tell your wife that I have instructed her to go to Liuzhen Peak more often to find the deer spirit Lu Hanzhi and ask her if she needs anything or if she needs help. The Divine Mansion will do its best to help her."

Tiger Vanguard asked, "Lord God, why do you care so much about Lu Hanzhi?"

Zhuang Yan smiled and said, "Why do you say that?"

Tiger Vanguard scratched his head and said, "It can't be that the God King likes her, right? I think Lu Hanzhi is also very beautiful."

Zhuang Yan kicked Tiger Vanguard aside and scolded him with a smile, "You silly tiger, what are you thinking about all day long? Do you think I'm the kind of person who is impure and obsessed with emotions?"

"Hehe." Tiger Vanguard laughed innocently, walked forward and said, "Please calm down, Lord God. I have remembered your instructions. I will tell Lan'er later."

Zhuang Yan nodded, and at this time Chi Ling came over skipping, holding a juicy peach in her hand.

"Lord God, Sister Huo Ling asked me to bring this peach to you." Chi Ling said.

When Tiger Vanguard saw the peach, he couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Huh? Where did such a good peach come from?"

Zhuang Yan took a closer look and found that they were indeed good peaches, fresh and juicy, crystal clear, and exuding the fragrance of fruit wood.

Zhuang Yan took the peach and scanned it with his 'Dongtian True Eyes'. He was immediately surprised and said, "It has spiritual energy. It is a spiritual peach."

Hearing this, Chi Ling was slightly startled, but soon reacted and hurriedly said to the Fire Spirit Immortal who was picking peaches in the distance: "Sister Fire Spirit, come here quickly."

Fire Spirit Immortal responded, put down the basket in his hand, and walked over quickly.

"Chi Ling, what's wrong?" asked the Fire Spirit Immortal in surprise.

Chi Ling pointed at the peach in Zhuang Yan's hand and said, "Sister Huo Ling, this peach is a spiritual peach. A spiritual peach!"

Fire Spirit Immortal smiled and said, "It's just a spiritual peach, so what..." At this point, Fire Spirit Immortal suddenly reacted, she looked at the peach in Zhuang Yan's hand, and then said excitedly, "Lord God, can you show me the peach?"

Zhuang Yan brought the peach to the Fire Spirit Immortal, who quickly took the peach and examined it carefully.

After a moment, she finally confirmed that there was a trace of spiritual energy in this peach!
Although it was only a little bit, it was enough, which meant that she had successfully grown the spiritual peach.

You should know that all of her peach trees were grown from the pits of the 'Shouxian Peach', and all she had grown so far were ordinary peaches, but now a spiritual peach has appeared!
What does this mean? This means that she has taken the first step towards successfully growing the longevity peach.

Immortal Huo Ling held the peach in his hands, trembling with excitement. "It's been decades! It's been decades! I finally see hope for success."

"Congratulations." Zhuang Yan said with a smile.

Hu Xianfeng and Chi Ling, who were standing by, also congratulated Huo Ling Zhenxian. Huo Ling Zhenxian was indeed very excited at the moment. She came to Zhuang Yan with the only spiritual peach in her hand and said, "My Lord, please enjoy this spiritual peach!"

Zhuang Yan laughed and said, "Okay." Then he reached out and took the peach, but did not eat it immediately. Instead, he put it into his sleeve.

The Fire Spirit Immortal said, "I have to mark that peach tree and protect it. Even though it only has one spiritual peach, as long as it grows spiritual peaches, it means it already has the foundation of a 'spiritual tree'."

The Fire Spirit Immortal turned and left, and Chi Ling hurriedly followed to help.

Zhuang Yan smiled, turned his head and said to Tiger Pioneer, "Why don't you go and help? How can a grown man like you eat ready-made food?"

Tiger Vanguard said unconvincedly: "My Lord, don't you always eat ready-made food? I have never seen you work."

Zhuang Yan laughed loudly, raised his hand and kicked again. Tiger Pioneer hurriedly blocked it with the Tiannie Sword. Zhuang Yan's kick hit the Tiannie Sword, but still made Tiger Pioneer stagger.

"I am the Lord of Lingtai. If I am asked to do all the work, why would I need a stupid tiger like you?" Zhuang Yan cursed with a smile, then jumped up and instantly turned into a ray of fairy light and disappeared into the sky.

But Zhuang Yan flew into the air and was about to fly to the Southern Continent, but halfway he saw a ray of light falling from the sky and landing directly in front of him.

Zhuang Yan stopped and took a closer look. He then bowed and said with a smile, "Taibai Jinxing? Why did you have time to come down to the mortal world today?"

When Taibai Jinxing saw Zhuang Yan, he immediately stepped forward and said to him with a smile: "Lord Lingtai, where are you going?" Zhuang Yan smiled and said: "I am going to the Southern Continent. I am now the 'Demon Subduing Immortal' of the Human World. I am going to the Southern Continent to see if there are any demons doing evil."

The duty of the 'Demon Subduing Immortal' in the human world is just this convenience, so that his authority is no longer limited to the territory of Guangci Prefecture. In the future, even if he runs out of the Yamafu world, it will not be considered as abandoning his post without permission.

Because the 'Demon Subduing Immortal' in the human world can go anywhere as long as it is in the 'human world'.

But Taibai Jinxing smiled and said, "Don't go to the Southern Continent yet, come with me to the Heavenly Palace."

Zhuang Yan was a little surprised and asked, "What happened to the Heavenly Court?"

Taibai Jinxing said: "Nothing happened in the Heavenly Court, it's just that the Great Heavenly Venerable summoned me to come and summon you."

Hearing this, Zhuang Yan immediately straightened his appearance, then bowed and said, "Zhuang Yan obeys your command."

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan followed Taibai Jinxing to Daluo Heaven, and then came to the "Miro Hall" of Taiwei Yuqing Palace to meet the Jade Emperor.

Entering the hall, Zhuang Yan saw the Jade Emperor sitting high in the hall, with more than 20 fairies serving him. Some held fans, some held lanterns, some held flowers, some offered elixirs, some stood by, and some served tea.
It is really like this: the fragrance of the black lady is lingering, the silk and silk are floating, and the goddess walks gracefully with jade steps. The beautiful girl serves in the palace of heaven, and also enjoys the immortality of heaven and earth.

Taibai Jinxing stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, the Spiritual Platform Lord has arrived."

Zhuang Yan walked quickly to the front of the hall and bowed to the Jade Emperor, saying, "Your servant Zhuang Yan pays homage to the Jade Emperor."

The Jade Emperor smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed, "Sit down."

Zhuang Yan bowed in thanks, then walked to the sandalwood chair on the right side of the hall and sat down.

Afterwards, the Jade Emperor nodded to Taibai Jinxing, who immediately bowed and replied, "Yes." Then he left the Miluo Palace.

After Taibai Jinxing left the Miluo Palace, the Jade Emperor raised his hand and waved again. All the fairies and female officials in the palace bowed and then left the Miluo Palace in small steps, carrying the fragrant breeze from the clouds, and closed the door of the palace.

Zhuang Yan sat upright, looking straight ahead, waiting for the Jade Emperor to speak.

After a moment, the Jade Emperor said, "You were going to visit your nephew in Jambu Continent just now."

Zhuang Yan heard this and said, "Your Majesty, nothing in the Three Realms can be hidden from you. I do want to go visit Sun Wukong."

The Jade Emperor nodded, and then said: "Do you know why I asked you to secretly help Sun Wukong when he rebelled and made trouble in the Heavenly Palace?"

Yes, Zhuang Yan added the 'dodge' state to Sun Wukong with the instruction of the Jade Emperor.

Of course, the Jade Emperor didn’t know that Zhuang Yan could add status to others, but he knew that Zhuang Yan had mysterious magical powers, so he instructed him in advance to help Sun Wukong.

Zhuang Yan heard this and said, "I don't know. I hope Your Majesty can give me some advice."

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "If Sun Wukong cannot avoid the diamond cutter, he will be captured by Erlang Shen and the Six Saints of Meishan. Erlang Shen is my nephew, so I have no defense against him. But the Six Saints of Meishan have never been subject to the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. If they make great contributions this time, the Heavenly Court will have to reward them generously. However, when the Heavenly Court employs people, it must conduct strict inspections and make sure that their morals are not damaged before they can be reused. However, the Six Saints of Meishan are powerful and are under the jurisdiction of Erlang Shen. They obey orders but not announcements. If they are given high positions and generous salaries without inspection, it will be fine if there is no trouble in the future. If there is trouble, it will definitely damage our uncle-nephew relationship. Do you understand?"

Zhuang Yan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I understand your painstaking efforts."

"Yes." The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "I have to thank you for this. If you were not here, I would not be able to find anyone to help me. If you tell others, I will think that what I did was not kind enough and it might be suspected of suppressing my nephew's power."

Zhuang Yan heard this and said, "Your Majesty, your words are too kind. Your Majesty's compassion is appreciated by all living beings in heaven and earth."

The Jade Emperor smiled faintly and said, "What I do is to be in accordance with the laws of heaven and nature, and I do not expect sentient beings to be grateful for my kindness. There are many people in the three realms who curse me, but I just pretend not to hear them. But you can't tell anyone about this matter, don't tell anyone, understand?"

Zhuang Yan bowed his head and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will never dare to speak carelessly."

"Yes." The Jade Emperor nodded, and then said to Zhuang Yan: "Zhuang Yan, please come forward."

Zhuang Yan immediately stepped forward, and saw the Jade Emperor using his magic power to send the 'Xuanxiaotianqingyuruyi' in his hand to Zhuang Yan, and said: "This jade ruyi has been with me since I became an immortal. It is my token of trust. Now I give it to you. In the future, you can freely enter and exit the gate of heaven, go up and down the heavens, and come to the heavenly court to meet me at any time with this ruyi."

When Zhuang Yan saw the 'Xuan Xiao Tian Qing Yu Ruyi' in front of him, he immediately understood that this was a great privilege given to him, which meant that he could meet the Jade Emperor at any time in the future without having to wait for the Jade Emperor's decree.

Zhuang Yan quickly reached out to catch the jade ruyi, then bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I, Zhuang Yan, thank you for your kindness."

The Jade Emperor nodded and smiled, then waved his hand and said, "Since you want to visit my nephew, please go down to the mortal world quickly. I will not keep you here. If you have any important matters in the future, you can come to see me with Ruyi."

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Yan immediately bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

Afterwards, Zhuang Yan bid farewell to the Jade Emperor and left the Miluo Palace. The moment he left the Miluo Palace, the fairies and female officials who were waiting outside immediately walked into the palace.

Taibai Jinxing outside the palace was smiling at Zhuang Yan, but his smile disappeared the moment he saw the 'Xuanxiaotianqingyu Ruyi' in Zhuang Yan's hand.

The smile on Taibai Jinxing's face disappeared, but the smile on Zhuang Yan's face reappeared. He waved the jade ruyi in his hand towards Taibai Jinxing ostentatiously, then bowed, turned around and left in high spirits.

Zhuang Yan left the South Heaven Gate, descended from the thirty-three heavens, and headed straight for the Five Finger Mountain in the southern continent.
