The Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens asked Fang Jian to clean up the mess. What mess? Naturally, it was the mess on the side of the Great Emperor Xiyue.

And the focus is on the Third Holy Mother and Liu Chenxiang. Fang Jian has offended this pair of orphans and widows badly this time.

Therefore, the Queen Mother of the West ordered Fang Jian to deal with the aftermath, and also publicly asked Fang Jian to untie this knot to avoid any trouble in the future.

After all, the time of the Three Holy Mothers has passed, and the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens disdains to bring up the past.

Moreover, for the sake of the Emperor Xiyue's face, Liu Chenxiang and the Three Holy Mothers were not dealt with publicly.

After Empress Wulin, Guan Yu, and the other heavenly generals left, Fang Jian looked at Madam Xiao, who was holding the Three Holy Mothers in her arms, and advised sincerely, "Madam, children cannot be spoiled. They must be beaten. As the saying goes, if they are not beaten for three days, they will tear the roof off the house..."

"What are you talking about?" Before Fang Jian finished speaking, the Third Holy Mother asked in a low voice.

Fang Jian paused, then said, "Your Majesty, could you please let me see the Precious Lotus Lantern?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Holy Mother said in a gloomy voice, "You took away my son's Divine Mountain-Splitting Axe, didn't you?"

"No." Fang Jian said bewilderedly, "What mountain-splitting axe? I didn't see it. Your Majesty, you misunderstood me."

Madam Xiao looked at Fang Jian's innocent and confused face and immediately became furious. "Severance Mountain God, stop pretending to be confused. Quickly collect your magic weapon and untie Chenxiang's bonds."

Fang Jian hesitated after hearing this and said, "No, what if I untie him and he hits me?"

"Can he beat you?" The Third Holy Mother raised her eyebrows and scolded softly.

Fang Jian raised his hand and pointed at the Precious Lotus Lantern in the hands of the Third Holy Mother and said, "He can defeat me even with the Precious Lotus Lantern, unless the Holy Mother gives me the Precious Lotus Lantern."

"No," Madam Xiao said, "This Dingyuan Pearl is Fellow Daoist Dingyuan's original magical weapon, right? Now you've taken the Divine Axe of Splitting the Mountain. If I give you the Precious Lotus Lantern again, it's like throwing meat buns at a dog. It's a waste!"

Fang Jian was greatly shocked and said, "Madam, you actually compared a sixth-rank immortal official of the Heavenly Court to a dog. I wonder what the Emperor of Xiyue would think when he heard this."

"Fang Jian!" Madam Xiao glared at him. "Don't talk nonsense! When did I ever say that?"

The Third Holy Mother interrupted, "Fellow Daoist Fang Jian, please stop making unfounded arguments and distorting my mother's words. I can't possibly give you the Precious Lotus Lantern. It was given to you by the Goddess Nuwa. No one but the Goddess Nuwa can take it from me."

Fang Jian thought for a moment after hearing this and said, "That's a good idea."

“???” Madam Xiao and the Third Holy Mother were confused, but they soon understood what Fang Jian meant.

He suddenly raised his head and shouted towards the heavens, "Fang Jian pays homage to the Goddess Nuwa. I, the young man, have been appointed by the Jade Emperor to serve as the God of the Broken Boundary Mountain. I have always upheld the law and upheld the Way of Heaven, but I am still in need of a few useful magical tools. Could you please give me this Precious Lotus Lantern? I, Fang Jian, thank you."

After saying this, he bowed to the sky again and again with a very upright and solemn attitude.

"..." The Three Holy Mothers were stunned, and all the gods and Buddhas in the sky were silent. They had never seen anyone asking for things like this!

"Don't..." The Third Holy Mother didn't say the word "face" after all.

In the Thirty-Third Heaven, purple mists floated, and colorful clouds drifted. A beautiful and majestic palace sat atop the peak, level with the Lingxiao Palace in the center of the Heavens. This was the Wahuang Palace, the abode of the goddess Nuwa.

Inside the Wahuang Palace, the sound of orchestral music and melodious string music were heard. Outside, red cranes were flying and singing, while inside, phoenixes were resting. The atmosphere was just like this:

The sound of wind and the cry of cranes can be heard in the night sky, and the purple palace and golden pavilion are hung with beautiful curtains.

The rolling stars add to the painting, and the mountains and rivers are reflected in the Qilin Eaves.

The cloud steps are the color of jade and porcelain, and the great virtues and lofty images of the Tao are suspended in the air.

All gods and humans look up to him and worship him, and he is on par with the Three Pure Ones.

Nuwa, the goddess of heaven, is the most meritorious person. Where does her merit come from? First, she created human beings, and second, she repaired the sky.

Nuwa created humans, but was not subject to the karma of humans. Nuwa mended the sky, but was not covered by the sky.

His virtue is so great that no one under the heaven can match it.

Entering the Nuwa Palace, one saw a woman wearing a phoenix robe, sitting high on a cloud bed. Behind her was a mysterious light, and she was shrouded in mist and smoke. It was none other than the goddess Nuwa.

Next to Nuwa stood a jade girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old.

The jade girl is wearing a nine-colored robe, her long hair is combed into a bun, with jade pendants and tassels, and she walks gracefully.

At this moment, the jade girl's clear eyes were looking at the clouds in front of her. That was the famous scene where Fang Jian asked for the treasure.

"This..." The Jade Girl hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and said, "Look, Madam, this person is so shameless."

Nuwa's eyes were bright and clear, and she smiled as she said, "He is not shameless at all. He is clearly a man who knows how to get things done."

"Knowing how to do things?" The girl was a little surprised. "He just offended Liu Chenxiang and her son, and now he's offended Madam Xiao as well. Is this what you call knowing how to do things?"

Nuwa said, "You don't know why he did this. There's a sense of determination in this man's brow. Judging from his words and actions since he became an immortal official, he must be adhering to the Heavenly Law. So, in order to enforce the Heavenly Law, he's not afraid of offending anyone. This time, Liu Chenxiang protected Xiao Yumei and the others. Even though Xiao Yumei and the others are now captured, Liu Chenxiang is still guilty of shielding them. And the Nine Heavens Mysterious Woman asked Fang Jian to deal with the aftermath, which naturally meant that she was telling him that Liu Chenxiang and the Three Holy Mothers should be spared for the sake of Xiyue Emperor. Since they've already given face to the Taoists and Buddhists, there's no need to offend an emperor of the Heavenly Court. Fang Jian understood this, and so he used the Precious Lotus Lantern to smooth things over."

Cai Feng said, "Then your Majesty, just ignore him and see what he does next."

Nuwa smiled and said, "If I ignore him, he will definitely say, 'Nuwa has ordered him not to embarrass the Three Holy Mothers and their sons anymore,' and then release Liu Chenxiang. As long as Liu Chenxiang stops making trouble, the matter will be over."

Upon hearing this, Caifeng exclaimed, "He has a good plan, but he falsely conveyed the Empress's order. Isn't he afraid of being punished by the Empress?"

"He is not afraid." Nuwa said with a smile.

"Why?" Caifeng asked in confusion.

Nuwa didn't speak directly, but simply shook her head and said in her heart: "Because he is an anomaly born in response to the great trend of heaven."

"Since he has done so much, why should I be stingy with my order?" Then, Nuwa said to Caifeng, "Go and fetch the 'Fragrant and Crispy Jade Fan'."

"Yes." Caifeng responded respectfully.

A moment later, Caifeng came over with a folding fan made of crispy jade in both hands.

Nuwa picked up the folding fan and gently threw it towards the mortal world.

All this happened within a dozen breaths. When Fang Jian finished his worship, only about ten breaths later, a beam of jade light flew down from the sky and hit Fang Jian directly on the head.

"Ouch!" Fang Jian cried out in pain, then grabbed the fan and took a look. He angrily shouted, "Throwing objects from a high place! Who is it? How can they be so lacking in public morality!"

Nuwa, the goddess in the Wa Palace, covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Her eyes were as bright as flowers, but her tone was full of surprise as she said, "Oh, it's lost."

Cai Feng, standing by, curled her lips at the sight. "Your cultivation is on par with even the Daoist and Buddha masters. How could you throw your folding fan crookedly? You must have done it on purpose!"
