A cat that lingers beside a saint

Chapter 151 Chang'e, how have you been? I, Old Pig, miss you (3000-word chapter)

Su Bai was currently wandering around the Heavenly Court.

After realizing that these deities wouldn't do anything to him, Su Bai was completely relieved.

At this moment, he was wandering around the Heavenly Court, looking east and west.

Arriving at the Moon Palace gate once more, they saw the fat, pig-headed man standing there.

Su Bai stood not far away, watching Zhu Bajie curiously, noticing that he seemed to be muttering to himself as he looked at the gate of the Moon Palace.

Only when you get closer can you hear Pigsy's voice.

"Hehe, Fairy Chang'e, this humble monk hasn't visited you for many days. You won't be angry with me, will you?"

"You know I'm an honest man, and besides, monks don't speak in Buddhist jargon. I really do miss you—"

Upon hearing this, Su Bai almost burst out laughing. Looking at the fact that there was no one opposite Zhu Bajie, it was clear that he was just putting on a show.

But this laugh was overheard by Pigsy.

He suddenly turned around, his gaze landing squarely on where Su Bai was.

"It's you again, you little kitten. Come here, I saw you go in last time. Do me a favor and call out to the fairy Chang'e. I just want to say a few words to her, just a few words."

As he spoke, Pigsy looked around, then squatted down and whispered, "I heard from some old friends that they are discussing the investiture of a cat in the Lingxiao Palace today."

"Although I, Old Pig, have gotten a bit fat, I'm still quite shrewd. When they talk about cats, the first thing that comes to my mind is you."

"Back in the day, I, Old Pig, was Marshal Tianpeng in the Heavenly Court, in charge of the Heavenly River Navy. Although I have now entered the Buddhist order, I still have connections."

"If you become a deity in this Heavenly Court, just mention my old pig's name, Marshal Tianpeng. Whether it's the Twenty-Eight Constellations or the Thirty-Six Heavenly Generals, they will all give me, old pig, some face."

As he spoke, Pigsy stood up and patted his chest.

He really wasn't boasting about this.

Back when that monkey was trapped by the Yellow-Eyebrowed King with golden magic at the Little Thunderclap Temple, wasn't it someone he summoned from Heaven?

Hearing what Zhu Bajie said, Su Bai couldn't help but blink.

Why did you suddenly bring me up?

Judging from his words, it seemed he was planning to give me an official position.

Su Bai's eyes lit up slightly, and he leaned forward to ask, "And then what? What kind of official position did that Jade Emperor intend for me to be?"

Pigsy thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "My old friends didn't mention this, they just said His Majesty intends to think about it some more."

As he spoke, Pigsy chuckled again and said, "But I think since His Majesty the Jade Emperor has already mentioned it, it's only a matter of time before you get an official position."

"How about it? Go and call out the Moon Goddess Chang'e for me. I'll put in a good word for my old brothers. While I can't guarantee you'll be able to roam freely in Heaven from now on, no one will dare to mess with you easily."

Su Bai licked his paws. In fact, he wasn't worried about what his life as an official in the Heavenly Court would be like.

Given his status, if he were to raise his voice in the Heavenly Court, although he might not be able to take the Jade Emperor's position, securing a seat in the Lingxiao Palace would probably not be a problem.

Thinking about this, Su Bai felt a sense of anticipation.

He was quite curious to see what kind of official position the Jade Emperor would assign him.

As for Pigsy—

Su Bai looked up at him.

Regardless, he brought the news, and it was quite a surprise to me.

It doesn't seem like a big deal to pass on a message to the Moon Goddess Chang'e for him.

Just thinking about the first generation of Taiyin Star Lord on Taiyin Star made Su Bai feel a chill.

Seeing that Su Bai was somewhat tempted, Pigsy's eyes darted around and he continued, "How about this, if you help me summon the Fairy Chang'e, I, Old Pig, will take you to see my Monkey King."

"My Monkey King is quite famous in the Heavenly Court. Back then, this monkey made a great disturbance in the Heavenly Palace and had many dealings with the gods. With his name on the table, plus my name, you're guaranteed to be able to walk sideways in the Heavenly Court."

Seemingly feeling that the temptation wasn't strong enough, Pigsy added, "You can walk lying down or anywhere else."

The Moon remains as cold and gloomy as ever.

Looking out from the Moon Star, it is still covered by laurels.

Standing outside the Moon Palace gate, one can hear the sound of Wu Gang chopping down the cassia tree. Standing upright, one can also see the white jade pavilion in the distance.

From here, you can vaguely see a solitary figure in the pavilion.

It seems that Wang Shu did not notice his entry into the Taiyin Star this time, or perhaps Wang Shu did not intend to see him.

-

Su Bai ran towards the pavilion with great ease.

Upon reaching the center of the pavilion, the gaunt figure slowly turned around.

She was holding a rabbit in her arms, her face showing a hint of worry. When she saw Su Bai, a look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Where did this kitten come from? Perhaps it's gone the wrong way?"

Chang'e put down the jade rabbit in her arms, came to Su Bai, gently picked him up, stroked him for a moment, and chuckled, saying, "It's cold here, but you, my little cat, are quite warm."

Hearing this, Su Bai raised an eyebrow slightly: "That's natural. I have been absorbing the essence of the sun and moon for many years, and now my cultivation has reached the Refining Spirit and Returning to Emptiness realm. The essence of the sun and moon can be freely transformed within my body."

Perhaps surprised that Su Bai spoke, Chang'e paused for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh, "So it was you."

Su Bai was taken aback, then looked up at Chang'e and asked, "You know me?"

"I heard the Third Prince mention you some time ago. The name of the Little Cat Daoist is quite famous in the Heavenly Court now. I heard that even Yang Jian has to call you 'Uncle-Master' when he sees you, which shows that you are of a high seniority."

"I wonder what brings you here today, Little Cat Daoist?"

As she spoke, Chang'e looked toward the gate of the Moon Palace in the distance. Perhaps she saw Zhu Bajie outside the gate, she gently shook her head and said, "If you came here for Marshal Tianpeng, then please ask Little Cat Daoist to go back."

F

"Although the Moon Palace is not a forbidden place, it is not a place that can be entered casually. If the Jade Emperor finds out, even though he has now entered the Buddhist order, it will inevitably bring him some gossip."

Su Bai couldn't help but roll his eyes. Everyone understands the logic, but he's thick-skinned and doesn't care about these rumors at all.

Perhaps sensing Su Bai's thoughts, Chang'e chuckled and said, "How about this, please ask Little Cat Daoist to pass on a message to Marshal Tianpeng, saying that Chang'e is not feeling well today and is unable to go out."

"Is that all?" Su Bai looked at Chang'e in confusion.

She nodded slightly and said calmly, "These words contain a sense of refusal. Just convey this message to Marshal Tianpeng, and I believe he will understand."

Outside the Moon Palace, Su Bai stood on Pigsy's shoulder and heard Chang'e's words in their original form.

Pigsy seemed to have anticipated this, and showed no dissatisfaction or disappointment on his face.

He arrived at the entrance of the Moon Palace and shouted loudly inside, "Since the fairy is unwell, then this old pig will visit again another time."

After saying that, Pigsy walked towards the South Heavenly Gate without looking back.

-

Standing on his shoulder, Su Bai couldn't help but ask curiously, "You like Chang'e that much?"

Upon hearing this, Pigsy paused slightly, but quickly laughed and said, "What do you know? Back when I was Marshal Tianpeng in Heaven, I was quite dashing. Countless celestial maidens admired me, but I remained unmoved."

As if he had thought of something, Pigsy slowed his pace and his gaze became somewhat unfocused.

"There are countless celestial maidens in the heavenly court, but only the moon palace fairy makes me lose my mind. It's just a pity that things don't go as planned. That day, I got drunk and made a big mistake, and we parted ways forever."

"Fortunately, now that I've become a Buddha, I can freely enter and leave the Heavenly Court. However, it might be difficult to rekindle our past relationship."

.

Upon hearing this, Su Bai almost burst out laughing.

Only Pigsy could say such a thing. Not to mention Chang'e, even the other celestial maidens in Heaven would probably avoid him if they saw him like this.

But this is something that Su Bai admires.

What is self-confidence?

That's called self-confidence.

In these three realms, perhaps no one is more confident than him.

However, it must be said that this person truly has the right to be confident.

Standing on Pigsy's shoulders, almost everyone who passes by will call him Master Tianpeng, and even strangers will treat him with courtesy.

It's a pity that Old Pig couldn't control himself, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up like this.

After exiting the South Heavenly Gate, Old Pig laughed and said, "Where does Little Cat Daoist plan to go? If you have nothing to do, why not come and sit in my temple?"

"I, Old Pig, am different from Brother Monkey. Although we say we are Buddhist disciples, we are not even Buddhas."

"What kind of Clean Altar Messenger? To put it nicely, he manages Buddhist offerings; to put it bluntly, he's just a handyman."

"But there's nothing I can do about it, what can I do when I'm called Pig Wuneng?"

Following Old Pig to the Temple of the Cleansing Altar Messenger, Su Bai couldn't help but smack his lips at the sight of the desolate incense offerings.

Fortunately, there was no shortage of offerings on this person's altar.

He didn't seem to care about offerings; in Old Pig's opinion, as long as he had something to eat, he didn't care about anything else.

Sitting inside the temple, Old Pig chuckled and said, "Speaking of which, I'm quite curious, since Little Cat Daoist has already become an immortal—"

Why hasn't the Jade Emperor given you an official position yet?

Just then, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"You idiot, what do you know? That old Jade Emperor wouldn't dare to grant you that title."

Looking in the direction from which the sound came, they saw that Sun Wukong had appeared outside the door at some point.

He was wearing a robe, his hands clasped together, looking solemn and dignified.

If one didn't know his true appearance, one would truly be fooled by his looks.
