"When you go to Chenjiazhuang, tell them that a holy monk from the Tang Dynasty will be passing through in a few days. This year's offering of boys and girls is waived. Tell them to treat them well and not let them go hungry. Also, tell Linggan Dawang to make way for the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and leave Tongtian River temporarily."
The mandarin fish obeyed, flicked its tail, parted the water, and swam like an arrow towards the shore.
Just as Li Changzhou was about to perform his magic, auspicious energy suddenly surged in the sky, and a stunningly beautiful fairy with white hair and purple clothes broke through the clouds and descended from the sky riding a bluebird.
Li Changzhou laughed: "Isn't this the Goddess of Wushan? Why aren't you attending the Hundred Flowers Festival? What are you doing at my Tongtian River?"
Has Guanyin already caused trouble for Yang Qinglan? Did the Queen Mother send her?
As it turned out, Li Changzhou had worried unnecessarily.
"I met Qinglan on the way and heard about you from her, so this princess came to see you, the Water King," Yaochi said with a smile.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, she was in a hurry and asked, "Do you need any help? Once I enter the Jade Pool—the Queen Mother's Jade Pool—I might not be able to get out until the mission is over."
If faced with a life-or-death crisis, Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia could appear by Li Changzhou's side through their bond of life and death, but she could not.
So before entering Yaochi, I made a special trip to ask.
“I don’t need it for now, and your identity isn’t suitable for you to help me,” Li Changzhou said.
Yaochi nodded. As the Queen Mother's adopted daughter, if she helped him, Sun Wukong would immediately somersault to the Heavenly Court, where the Queen Mother and even the Jade Emperor would punish their daughter.
"So what are your plans?" Yaochi asked again.
Li Changzhou did not answer, but exhaled two breaths, one yellow and one red. The yellow one was a dog, and the red one was a fox.
He said to the fox, "You have transformed into an innocent, lovely, and kind country girl."
A red mist filled the air, and when it dissipated, the fox was gone, replaced by a country girl with clear, bright eyes, a beautiful face, and a slender figure.
“Your name is Cuicui,” Li Changzhou said to the little girl.
"My name is Cui Cui." The red fox smiled kindly and adorably, innocently and without guile.
“You are a yellow dog,” Li Changzhou said to the dog.
The yellow dog barked.
"From now on, you will make a living by rowing boats and live on the border of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom. You will not interact with others on a daily basis. You also have a grandfather in your family."
"Haha!" Yaochi, sitting on the bluebird, clapped her hands and laughed, her laughter clear and crisp. "She's clearly a cultured monster!"
She laughed so hard her waist ached.
"So this makes you cultured? Is there anyone who doesn't know 'Border Town'?" Li Changzhou laughed.
Yaochi suppressed her laughter and explained slowly, "Everyone knows it, but most people only know it. Everyone knows math formulas, but scores still vary, don't they?"
"Hahaha! You're a vixen too!"
"Then hit me with a big stick."
"You're a goddess now, don't you know that lust is a dangerous thing?"
If they weren't in a hurry, Yaochi would definitely have slashed him, or he would have slashed her, but now... having guessed Li Changzhou's plan, she felt a little more at ease.
But she added worriedly, "Be careful, don't get killed by Sun Wukong's staff."
"I know, I know. If you encounter anything you can't handle, remember to call me."
The bluebird sang sweetly, carrying auspicious omens, and carried the Jade Pool back to the Heavenly Palace.
Li Changzhou felt a warmth in his heart. Yaochi had been sincere just now, without any hint of seduction or affectation. He felt a sense of being cared for.
Oh no, I almost messed up my feelings.
Putting his mind at ease, Li Changzhou got another wooden boat and carefully gave a few instructions to the red fox who had transformed into Cui Cui.
The red fox nodded repeatedly, assuring her, "Master, you can rest assured."
She rowed the wooden boat, which carried the yellow dog, and disappeared into the river.
At first, her rowing movements were still rough and clumsy, but after a few strokes, she became skilled and steady, and even sang a riverside song, a complete country girl.
Li Changzhou released the black eagle again, sending it to fly towards the Kingdom of Biqu, where it would keep an eye on Tang Sanzang from a thousand miles away.
After passing through the fierce winds, Yaochi returned to the Heavenly Palace. Following the straight Heavenly Palace Road, one arrives at the South Heavenly Gate, which is thousands of feet high.
The four Heavenly Kings guarding the South Heavenly Gate are all as tall as mountains, exuding divine might.
Above the South Heavenly Gate, the Demon-Revealing Mirror shines with golden light.
Given Yaochi's personality and common sense, she should have greeted the Four Heavenly Kings no matter what, but she really had to make time to visit Li Changzhou, and she didn't have any free time at all.
He quickly offered a blessing and then hurriedly rushed to Yaochi.
The Heavenly Palace is enormous, with countless magnificent buildings emerging from the sea of clouds. The palaces are connected by rainbow bridges, and there are auspicious beasts such as phoenixes, cranes, and unicorns.
Besides palaces, some of the sea of clouds that emerge are forests, grasslands, waterfalls, and gardens.
On some small clouds, there might be a pavilion, a tree, or a chessboard.
Some clouds are filled with golden lotuses, and countless golden carp frolic among the lotus leaves.
When Yaochi descended to earth, there was no time to see these sights, and when he returned, there was no time either, as he rushed back to Yaochi.
The entire hall was filled with female immortals, and their almost liquid-like essence swirled on the ground.
Yang Qinglan's white robes were very eye-catching, because as far as the eye could see, the entire hall was filled with fairies dressed in a riot of colors, adorned with red and green, and their hairpins were covered with jewels.
Yang Qinglan and Li Qianxia were sitting on a lotus leaf, enjoying the heavenly nectar and jade dew while talking in hushed tones. When they saw Yaochi rushing in, they exchanged a glance.
"Yao'er, why are you only arriving now? Come here quickly." The Queen Mother, sitting at the head of the table, smiled and beckoned.
The Queen Mother was elegant and beautiful, with stunning looks. If we disregard her temperament, her beauty would be at least an eight, and possibly even a nine.
