Traveling Through Journey to the West: I Am the Dragon King

Upon hearing this, the White Crane Fairy took out two talismans from her sleeve.

Yun Chonghua carefully examined the inscriptions drawn on it. He was very familiar with the inscriptions on this talisman. These were the inscriptions that Fairy White Crane had carved on it to restrain magical power when she helped him refine the magic weapon.

The White Crane Fairy said, "This goddess is also prepared. After you bring the Weaver Girl back, we can cover this up. As for the Weaver Girl's two demigod children, although they are particularly troublesome, I have drawn these two talismans to imprison their magical power. You only need to use magic to inject these talismans into the bodies of those two children, and their innate magical power will be imprisoned."

"I also secretly changed their lifespans to those of ordinary people. In the Book of Life and Death, I even found a woman who died young to be their nominal mother. The judge overlooked this major matter, but as long as it doesn't blow up, he'll be afraid of taking responsibility and won't make a fuss. As long as their magical powers aren't revealed, they can live a peaceful life as mortals. As for the Cowherd, he can die peacefully after he turns fifty, completing his tribulations and returning to Heaven. In this way, everyone can live in peace."

After hearing this, Yun Chonghua said, "This is good for everyone. Good! I'll go down to the mortal realm right now and bring the Weaver Girl back."

The White Crane Fairy nodded and continued, "I'll leave this matter to you. But you must remember to be courteous first, then use force. If the Weaver Girl insists on resisting, then bring her back. But be careful not to make too much noise and get noticed. Also, don't kill the Golden Bull Star Lord like you did with Dong Yong last time."

"The Golden Ox Star Lord is different from Dong Yong. Dong Yong was just a mortal, but the Golden Ox Star Lord is a deity undergoing tribulation. He died before his calamities were over and his lifespan was exhausted. This matter is not so easy to cover up, as it will attract the attention of the higher levels of the underworld. After all, not everyone in the underworld is on our side. We must prevent them from exposing this matter."

Yun Chonghua said, "I understand! Don't worry, sister. My martial arts have improved a lot in the past few years. I'm no longer that 'naive greenhorn' who only knew how to use the Samadhi Divine Wind. Besides, I have many magical treasures protecting me, so I'm confident I can capture someone."

The White Crane Fairy nodded, patted his shoulder, and continued, "Alright! This matter is entrusted to you. Chonghua, you must remember that the Empress and His Majesty have high hopes for you. As long as you serve His Majesty and the Empress diligently, they will certainly not treat you unfairly in the future."

Yun Chonghua replied, "I understand that, of course. Sister, there's no time to lose, I'll go right away!"

The White Crane Fairy nodded and led Yun Chonghua away from Yaochi.

After seeing Yun Chonghua off, the White Crane Fairy returned to the Empress's palace.

Upon seeing the white crane return, the Empress asked, "Have you given Chonghua proper instructions?"

The White Crane Fairy nodded and replied, "Your Majesty, I have told Chonghua the whole story, and Chonghua has already descended to the mortal realm to capture the Weaving Fairy."

Good heavens.

The Empress sighed and said, "Alas! I never imagined that the temptation to enter the mortal world would be so irresistible!"

At this moment, Bai He reported: "By the way, Your Majesty. Just now when I went to Tianmen to welcome Chonghua to Yaochi, Xu Jingyang from Tongming Palace stopped Chonghua."

Upon hearing this news, the Empress perked up immediately. She opened her eyes and asked, "Hmm? Xu Jingyang? What does he want with Chonghua?"

The White Crane Fairy replied, "He was ordered by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable to invite Chonghua to the Mi Luo Palace to listen to the lecture on the Primordial Dao Fruit. It seems that he intended to win him over. It is likely that the one who went to capture the White Tiger Divine Lord that day was also him."

The Empress was not surprised by this news.

The Empress asked, "It's good that it's not about causing trouble for Chonghua. By the way! What is Chonghua's attitude towards this matter? Not everyone has the opportunity to study the Primordial Dao Fruit. With his aptitude, if he were to study it, given time, he could become a 'Great Emperor' and be called a 'Patriarch'."

The White Crane Fairy replied, "Chonghua had no interest whatsoever in going to the Mi Luo Palace to hear about the 'Primordial Dao Fruit,' and immediately rejected the Primordial Heavenly Lord's offer of a chance. Afterwards, he came to Yaochi with me."

Upon hearing that Yun Chonghua had refused the temptation of the Primordial Dao Fruit on the spot, the Empress was overjoyed. She chuckled, "Hehe, this young man is teachable. It's no wonder I've trusted him so much. It's not difficult to refuse a few magical treasures and attempts to win him over with supernatural powers. But to directly refuse the Primordial Dao Fruit is truly remarkable. It seems we haven't misjudged him."

The White Crane Fairy continued, "By the way, Your Majesty, the gift that Sister White Tiger gave to Chonghua was one of her primordial spirit clones. Chonghua showed it to me before he came. Although that clone has consciousness, it has no memories of the past millions of years. It seems that Sister White Tiger doesn't want to mention too much to Chonghua."

The Empress said, "Baihu is still the same. Although she is somewhat cynical, she still takes such good care of the younger generation. She must have her own plans for giving Chonghua this opportunity. Let her be."

The Empress murmured to herself, "However, since the Primordial Celestial Venerable is willing to offer the Primordial Dao Fruit to win over Chonghua, he probably won't let it go so easily. The most unpredictable thing in this world is the human heart. It's understandable that Chonghua, grateful for my guidance, would refuse such an opportunity. But if this goes on for too long..."

The White Crane Fairy said, "Your Majesty, Chonghua's loyalty to His Majesty and Your Majesty is as clear as day. He has no disloyalty whatsoever."

The Empress said, "I naturally do not doubt Chonghua's loyalty, but I am thinking about how to completely win him over. After all, favors fade with time, but the allure of the Primordial Dao Fruit is eternal. As time goes on, I am afraid that the Primordial Heavenly Venerable might take advantage of the situation. After all, there are precedents of those who attained the Dao Fruit, switched allegiance to the Three Pure Ones, and rose from 'True Lord' to 'Heavenly Venerable Emperor.' He has served Your Majesty and me for much longer than Chonghua."

The White Crane Fairy naturally knew who the Empress was referring to. However, this was a taboo subject that neither His Majesty nor the Empress wanted to discuss, so she could only remain silent.

At this moment, Fairy White Crane changed the subject and said, "Your Majesty need not worry. Chonghua's temperament is different from others. His temperament is similar to that of Sister White Tiger; both of them are people who do not have much ambition for power or position. Although he has been serving in the mortal realm for nearly ten years, he still lives in the River God's Water Palace and has not built his own Dragon Palace. He never refers to himself as a 'king or nobleman' in his daily life. As for his hobbies... this servant feels that they are only wine and women."

"Furthermore, when I brought him to the Jade Pool this time, we met Fairy Ni Chang. And like other male immortals, he was captivated by her beauty. Didn't Your Majesty say before that you would choose a good match for him in the future? In my opinion, why not arrange for Fairy Ni Chang to marry him? If Your Majesty were to betroth this 'most beautiful woman in the Three Realms' to him, would you still be afraid that he would have second thoughts about His Majesty and Your Majesty?"

After hearing this, the Empress said, "Ni Chang? She is indeed a good choice. Chonghua and she are a perfect match. I had previously planned to match them up after Chonghua returned to the capital and achieved success. Today, with her coming, I also tried to sound out the girl's opinion."

"However, our 'beauty' has long resided in the Moon Palace and is quite aloof and proud. She says she has no interest in marriage. I am willing to act as matchmaker, but marriage requires mutual consent. A forced marriage will never be happy. If it were someone else, I am confident I could persuade them to marry Chonghua, but her words put me in a very difficult position."

The Empress said helplessly, "The most difficult thing to understand in this world is the word 'love.' Well, let's deal with this matter after we transfer Chonghua back to the Heavenly Court."

After hearing this, Fairy White Crane said no more. Although she wanted to help Yun Chonghua make this a happy occasion possible.

But as the Empress said, the word "love" is the most difficult to understand. After all, she and the White Tiger God and others have experienced many things like being destined to meet but not to be together, or dying without a trace.

The White Crane Fairy didn't think much more about it; she only hoped that Yun Chonghua's wishes would come true, unlike what they had experienced before.
