Journey to the West: I really want to improve!

Mu Xin's panic intensified. He struggled desperately for a moment, shouting at the surrounding celestial officials until his voice cracked:

"Quickly! Go to Yaochi and report to the Queen Mother of the West! Quickly go to Tongming Palace and report to His Majesty the Jade Emperor!"

"The Monkey King forcibly broke into the garden, immobilized the seven fairies, and even kidnapped me! Go and report this!"

After shouting, he turned to glare at Sun Wukong, and began to yell and curse him fiercely:

"Sun Wukong! Let me go! I am the adopted son of the Queen Mother of the West. If you dare to touch me, my mother will never let you get away with it! The 100,000 heavenly soldiers will also not spare you!"

"You won't let me go?" Sun Wukong laughed wildly, lifting Mu Xin and swinging his golden cudgel fiercely at the peach orchard behind him, causing the peach branches to sway wildly.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the surrounding celestial officials hurriedly ran out and then scattered to report on the situation in the Peach Garden.

Sun Wukong, carrying Mu Xin, darted deep into the Peach Garden, just out of the Seven Fairies' sight.

A peach that has ripened over nine thousand years, with purple veins and a yellow pit, bathed in the glow of the sunset, takes nine thousand years to mature.

If a person consumes it, they can live as long as heaven and earth, and be the same age as the sun and moon. It is the most supreme treasure for longevity in the Three Realms.

Sun Wukong reached out and plucked several ripe, nine-thousand-year-old peaches, their auspicious energy soaring straight to the heavens.

Before Mu Xin could struggle or explain, he grabbed the other's chin, and with a slight force, shoved the entire peach into his mouth, laughing loudly.

"Open your mouth and swallow it! What I, Old Sun, give you, there's no reason to spit it out! This peach will ensure your longevity, so your journey with me won't have been in vain!"

The peach flesh, once swallowed, transforms into a warm yet potent elixir, flowing down the meridians to the dantian, instantly unleashing a torrent of immortal power that sweeps across the entire body.

The stagnation and blockage accumulated from years of living amidst the smoke and fire of the celestial court were gently kneaded and cleansed by this celestial grace, even sweeping away the fine dust that clung to the soul.

All that remained in my body was an unprecedented clarity and ease, every wisp of my consciousness was relaxed and clear, and even my breath carried a lightness and tranquility that had washed away all the dust and impurities.

If the recording stone hadn't just been turned on, Mu Xin would have hummed out in pleasure.

He quickly winked at Sun Wukong, signaling him to feed him a few more peaches—such an opportunity was rare!

After giving the signal, Mu Xin desperately turned his head to avoid it, stiffening his neck and shouting angrily:

"You impudent monkey! Get away from me! Who wants your stolen, filthy peach! I am the Queen Mother's adopted son, how could I be coerced by a demon monkey like you!"

Seeing that Sun Wukong had once again gripped his jaw, he clenched his teeth even tighter, refusing to let go even at the cost of his life, the veins on his forehead bulging.

"You dare! I'd rather die here than swallow a single bite! You wicked monkey, don't even think about dragging me down with you and ruining my reputation in Heaven!"

The moment the peach was forced into his mouth, he jerked his head to spit it out, but deliberately didn't. Then, with red eyes, he burst into a tirade of curses:

"Bah! You impudent monkey! I'll make sure the Empress Dowager tears you to pieces! Just you wait!"

After Mu Xin finished speaking, he hurriedly swallowed all the peaches, not wanting to waste a single one.

So fragrant!

These peaches are so delicious! Hahaha!

"What are you hiding for! You have to swallow the blessings I, Old Sun, have given you today, whether you like it or not!" Sun Wukong laughed wildly and said.

After feeding Mu Xin, Sun Wukong grinned wildly and laughed. With a flick of his wrist, the golden cudgel grew longer in the wind and swept fiercely across the peach trees in the garden.

A fierce wind swept through, carrying overwhelming malevolence. Peach branches snapped and trembled violently, and ripe peaches that were three thousand or six thousand years old tumbled off the branches. Even the most precious nine-thousand-year-old peaches in the deepest part of the garden were swept away and smashed to the ground, splashing celestial dew all over the garden.

He collected all the peaches and then shouted, "If I, Old Sun, can't eat them, then nobody will be able to have a peaceful Peach Banquet!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the somersault cloud, accompanied by a fierce wind, headed straight for the direction of Yaochi.

All that remained were the celestial officials who were paralyzed, the seven fairy maidens who were frozen in place and unable to move, and a mess all over the place.

This definitively confirms that the Monkey King coerced the Queen Mother's adopted son and wreaked havoc in the Peach Garden.

……

To make the performance more convincing, Sun Wukong sealed Mu Xin's immortal apertures and vocal cords with a flick of his finger. Then, Mu Xin was grabbed by the back of his collar and launched onto a somersault cloud, heading straight for Yaochi.

As they were walking, they bumped into a barefoot immortal riding on auspicious clouds, who was heading to the Peach Banquet.

Upon seeing him face to face, Sun Wukong immediately lowered his head, devised a plan, pressed Mu Xin to his side, and then stepped forward, cupping his hands in greeting, "Where are you going, old Taoist?"

When the Barefoot Immortal saw that it was the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, he assumed that the stiff-standing Mu Xin beside him was a minor official who had been arrested for violating regulations. He had no suspicions whatsoever and bowed, saying, "I am honored by the Queen Mother's invitation to attend the Peach Banquet."

Sun Wukong said, "This old Taoist does not know. The Jade Emperor, because of my swift somersault cloud, ordered me to invite you all from five directions to first perform the ceremony at the Tongming Hall before attending the banquet."

The Barefoot Immortal, a man of integrity and sincerity, frowned and said, "You've always performed rituals at the Jade Pool; why have you changed the rules today?"

Sun Wukong patted Mu Xin on the shoulder and said, "This year, the Jade Emperor is strictly enforcing the ceremonial system, fearing that the celestial officials might break the rules."

"This lad is the one who offended His Majesty in the Peach Garden. I'm taking him to the Tongming Hall to be dealt with by His Majesty."

This made perfect sense, and the Barefoot Immortal had no doubt whatsoever. He immediately turned his auspicious cloud and headed straight for the Tongming Hall.

Seeing that the Barefoot Immortal's auspicious cloud had completely disappeared into the sky, Sun Wukong immediately made a hand seal, transformed himself into the appearance of the Barefoot Immortal, and then walked on the cloud with his robe open. His demeanor was exactly the same, and no one could see the slightest flaw.

He grabbed Mu Xin, who was immobilized by his sealed immortal apertures, and swaggered towards the Yaochi Pavilion, pretending he was just carrying a young Taoist disciple.

The celestial officials guarding the pavilion, seeing that it was Barefoot Great Luo Immortal and Mu Xin, dared not stop them. They all bowed respectfully and let the two in.

One is a renowned immortal in Heaven, and the other is the adopted son of the Queen Mother of the West. Wouldn't they be asking for trouble by trying to stop them?

Upon entering the pavilion, the Peach Banquet had not yet begun, and none of the celestial deities had arrived. Only the celestial officials who made the wine, the strongmen who prepared the lees, the Taoist priests who carried the water, and the boys who tended the fire, along with a group of minor officials, were busy setting up the banquet.

The long table was already laden with dragon liver and phoenix marrow, delicacies of all kinds, and exotic fruits and dishes that shimmered in the sunlight. In the corridor, a row of wine jars filled the air with the rich aroma of fine wine mixed with the sweet scent of divine fruits.

Sun Wukong watched with envy, his throat bobbing, but the entire pavilion was filled with celestial officials, making it difficult for him to act freely.

His eyes darted around, and a plan formed in his mind. He reached up and plucked a few hairs from the back of his head, chewed them, and gently blew on them towards the crowd, shouting:

"go!"

The hair instantly transformed into countless sleep bugs, gently landing on everyone's faces and noses. In the blink of an eye, the celestial officials, strongmen, Taoists, and attendants who had been busy without their feet touching the ground collapsed to the ground, their heads heavy and their legs weak, and fell into a deep sleep. The vast Yaochi Treasure Pavilion was instantly silent.
