In that short time, everyone unanimously labeled Sun Wukong, whom the divine artifact master had mentioned, as someone with a powerful backer and formidable martial prowess.
[That's not all. Wasn't he in charge of the imperial horses in the Milky Way? Later, he found the title of "弼马温" (Bima Wen, the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses) too lowly and unpleasant to listen to, so he ran back to his hometown, the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain, to live a carefree life.]
Yue Fuguang agreed, saying, "Brother Monkey didn't do anything wrong. It's just work; if you don't want to do it, you don't have to! I remember Marshal Tianpeng looked down on him, didn't he?"
Yes, that's true. When the Great Sage ran back to his hometown, the Jade Emperor sent Laozi to coax him back with kind words and let him take charge of the Queen Mother's Peach Garden.
Those are all immortal peaches that, when eaten, can prolong life, grant immortality or sainthood, and take three thousand years to bloom, three thousand years to bear fruit, and three thousand years to ripen.
Yue Fuguang laughed, "Sending monkeys to guard the peach orchard? How could they even think of that!"
The audience was initially surprised; it turned out that this Sun Wukong was a monkey spirit?
No wonder the little immortal called him Brother Monkey, he really is a monkey!
The young prince, princess, and Yu Ningxuan were completely engrossed in listening. Although the divine artifact had only summarized what Sun Wukong had done in a few words, just imagining it made the process incredibly exciting.
They were eating instinctively, and the Seventh Prince, for example, was so full that his eyes were rolling back in his head. Their father, Emperor Mingxi, frowned at the sight.
If he weren't afraid of interrupting the two of them, he would have already spanked this stupid son's butt with the sole of his shoe!
It was the younger sister's thoughtfulness that led the Eighth Princess to pour him a cup of hawthorn water to aid digestion when she saw that the Seventh Prince's belly was round and full.
But the sperm detected something different; the whole thing smelled like a conspiracy!
Driven by instinct and the keen insight honed through years of political maneuvering, they also felt that sending the monkey to see the Peach Garden was a sign of ill intent.
Whether mortal or immortal, it is difficult to fight against one's own instincts. As the saying goes, it is much easier to defeat an enemy than to defeat oneself.
Of course, even while thinking about these things, it doesn't stop them from drooling with envy over the peaches of immortality, hoping to prolong their lives and become immortals or saints!
Who wouldn't want these? If they were Sun Wukong, they wouldn't be able to resist eating two of them!
[As I heard from the Moon Spirit Pearl, the Queen Mother of the West held a Peach Banquet, but not only did she not invite Sun Wukong to attend, the Seven Fairies discovered that many peaches of different grades were missing when they went to pick peaches in the Peach Garden. They concluded that the Great Sage had eaten them and were going to complain.]
"The Monkey King ate a peach? If the Seven Fairies successfully report this, wouldn't the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother punish him?"
[Don't worry, Master! Sun Wukong used his magic to freeze them in time, preventing them from leaving! However, Sun Wukong only froze them; he didn't kill them!]
"That's right, my Monkey King has such a strong moral compass! He calls Princess Iron Fan 'sister-in-law' and the Jade-Faced Fox Demon 'sister-in-law.' He can distinguish between the legal wife and the mistress, much better than some adults!"
Some adults trembled instantly. They had really changed long ago, and had long since gotten rid of their mistresses. Now they should not be too respectful to their wives!
"Even when I'm drunk on immortal wine, I don't lay a finger on beautiful fairies. Unlike some people who act crazy when they're drunk and call it 'true nature,' I can't believe it!"
Suddenly, when they heard Little Immortal Lord swearing, these people not only didn't think it was inappropriate, but also condemned those inhuman colleagues in their hearts. Look how angry Little Immortal Lord is!
Yue Fuguang thought of many things, but she didn't say them. She only said, "Some people's kindness is without distinction between right and wrong, but my brother Monkey's kindness is kindness with principles."
He never lets any demons escape; he kills those who deserve it. But he never harms the innocent and is kind to ordinary mortals as well.
That's right, Sun Wukong is the ideal type for many girls!
We were just talking about how the Great Sage immobilized the Seven Fairy Maidens, and before the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother could even cause him any trouble, he went to the Peach Banquet on his own. Not only did he use his magic to knock out all the immortals, but he also drank the immortal wine.
Drunk, he traveled all the way to the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Heaven of Separation from Hatred, and by mistake stumbled into Laozi's Tushita Palace. It is said that he stole many of Laozi's elixirs, much to Laozi's dismay.
With each word the system uttered, everyone felt a pang of pain. This Monkey King had eaten peaches of immortality, drunk immortal wine, and now he was eating elixirs like they were food!
Their eyes were red with envy and jealousy. Putting aside the peaches of immortality and the immortal wine, they were even more envious of the elixir, though they didn't know how it differed from the one belonging to the divine artifact master.
But that doesn't stop them from knowing that pills with the word "immortal" on them can be of poor quality.
Without even taking a single health-enhancing pill, the Yu family members became strong and healthy, and Yu Chongshan's white hair turned mostly black!
Half a pill of antidote cured the hundred-day drunkenness that even the renowned Taoist Master Xuanmingzi couldn't cure.
Not only did the medicine clear the poison, but they also saw Baiyi, that child, and found him to be strong and healthy, even better than before he was poisoned!
How could they not be envious?
"Laojun is a master at alchemy. So what if he ate it? He can just refine more pills. After all, he's a professional at alchemy!"
"Oh, right, Little Pearl, I remember you also had a few batches of Laozi brand pills."
Everyone: No, Little Immortal Lord is being too hypocritical! That's an elixir of immortality!
What do you mean, "So what if she ate it?" Does she think the elixir is like a skewer of meat in their hands? Something they can just eat whenever they want?
And even the Divine Artifact Master has one! Sigh, they're all so envious!
Many people, upon thinking of this, took a big bite of the fragrant, golden-brown, juicy meat skewers in their hands, with the same boldness as the Monkey King stealing the elixir of immortality!
"Indeed, there are, but Master is currently in a mortal body and cannot consume elixirs."
Unlike the Great Sage, after consuming the elixir like food, he ran straight back to his hometown, the Water Curtain Cave of Flower and Fruit Mountain.
This infuriated the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother, and all the other deities.
He immediately ordered 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals to descend to the mortal realm and capture the Great Sage.
The Great Sage instantly killed the Giant Spirit God, defeated the Nine Luminaries Gods in a one-against-nine battle, made Nezha cry, and fought Erlang Shen from the ground to the sky!
In this great battle, all the named deities of the celestial realm participated! Unfortunately, we are here in the mortal realm and have no chance to witness it.
"Did my Monkey King win? Did any of my senior brothers or sisters from Lingxu Mountain go to help him?"
"Of course we won. But rest assured, Master, Lingxu Mountain and Fangcun Mountain have always been on good terms, so we will not go."
Even the Jade Emperor couldn't persuade the divine being!
Yue Fuguang's voice was filled with pride, "My master is undoubtedly the most powerful I have ever seen!"
Everyone became even more curious about the Lingxu Mountain God, whom they had heard about several times, but unfortunately neither the Divine Artifact Master nor the Little Immortal Lord said much.
The topic then shifted back to the incredibly powerful Monkey King, who had dominated the battlefield and emerged victorious.
On the way back, the Artifact Master added many more details, which made everyone present excited.
The carriage swayed and rattled, taking almost an hour and a half to travel what should have been a journey of less than an hour, and it wasn't until dark that it returned to the city.
That's how it was. Because the divine artifact master went off-topic while telling the story, even when they arrived at the gates of the imperial city and Emperor Mingxi had to bid farewell to the officials who had seen him off, he still hadn't heard what happened to Sun Wukong after he stormed the Heavenly Court!
Moonlight: I did it on purpose! To find out what happens next, stay tuned for the next episode!
