Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#2178 - The Origin of Fairies

Just as Tang Sanzang was extracting some inside information from the demon, Sun Wukong and his companions, who had been eating, drinking, and making merry at the posthouse for several days, finally made a move.

As soon as Sun Wukong and his companions left the posthouse for the palace, the Buddha responsible for monitoring the transformation hall immediately reported the news to Guanyin.

"Allow the King of Tianzhu to exchange the travel permit, but do not allow them to see Tang Sanzang."

Guanyin instructed, as the West's goal was to use the pretense of becoming a驸马 (imperial son-in-law) to effectively place Tang Sanzang under house arrest in the palace.

Then, through the seduction of the fake princess, they would gradually corrupt Tang Sanzang, dulling his mind, so that the West could further brainwash him.

Therefore, before their plan succeeded, they would not allow Tang Sanzang to be rescued by Sun Wukong and his companions, hence Guanyin's arrangement.

Sun Wukong and his companions arrived at the palace and met the King of Tianzhu.

"Your Majesty, we are here to exchange the travel permit."

Sun Wukong presented the travel permit to the king.

"I will process it for you immediately."

Having received Guanyin's orders, the King of Tianzhu was naturally very efficient in exchanging the travel permit.

He directly took out the permit, stamped his seal on it, and returned it to Sun Wukong and his companions.

"Your Majesty, we are preparing to continue our journey westward, but before we leave, we would like to see our master to say goodbye."

Sun Wukong received the travel permit and then requested to see the king.

"It's not that I don't want you to meet, but the Tang Dynasty's holy monk is currently deeply in love with my princess, nurturing their relationship.

Therefore, he has no time to see you. I will bid farewell on behalf of the three of you, so rest assured."

The King of Tianzhu made a clumsy excuse to refuse.

The King of Tianzhu refused, and Sun Wukong and his companions had no choice but to leave the palace and prepare to return to the posthouse.

The three seemed quite disappointed, but in reality, Sun Wukong had already plucked out some hairs and used transformation magic.

He transformed into a flying insect and secretly went to Tang Sanzang to meet and discuss the situation.

This was naturally planned in advance, and Tang Sanzang said to Sun Wukong:

"Wukong, after my investigation, this must be a demon who descended from the Heavenly Court. You must tell this news to Immortal Chu Hao."

"Rest assured, Master."

Sun Wukong received the news and immediately secretly passed it on to Chu Hao.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng continued to slowly pack their luggage at the posthouse, pretending to want to travel westward.

Seeing that everything was under his control, Guanyin seemed very satisfied and continued to have the fake princess seduce Tang Sanzang.

"You must make Tang Sanzang infatuated so that we can further brainwash him."

Guanyin ordered the fake princess.

The fake princess received the order and continued to talk to Tang Sanzang, seizing the opportunity to seduce him.

At this time, Chu Hao, who was still at the Bujin Temple, received the message from Sun Wukong.

"The West is indeed cunning, actually using a demon who descended from the Heavenly Court to seduce Tang Sanzang."

Hearing this news, Chu Hao couldn't help but despise the West even more.

In fact, the West had a good plan. Once the fake princess seduced Tang Sanzang and made him addicted,

The West could openly appear, feigning to rescue Tang Sanzang and subdue the demon.

Firstly, they could brainwash Tang Sanzang, making him submit to the West.

Secondly, they could shift the blame for the demon's evil deeds to the Heavenly Court, damaging its reputation.

As for the fake princess, she was just a pitiful demon who was deceived by the West and used as a tool.

"Immediately issue my order to investigate all parts of the Heavenly Court to see which immortal's attendant, pet, or mount is missing!"

As the Prison God of the Three Realms, Chu Hao's position in the Heavenly Court was second only to the Jade Emperor.

As soon as this order was issued, the entire Heavenly Court immediately began a thorough investigation.

"After our investigation, the whereabouts of the others have been found, except for the white sable of the Qionghua Palace, whose whereabouts are unknown."

Hearing this report, Chu Hao could basically confirm that the identity of the fake princess was the white sable.

"It seems that I still need the help of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady in this matter."

Chu Hao said, using the Rainbow Transformation Technique to head towards the Qionghua Palace.

Located above the Nine Heavens, the Qionghua Palace is a very special sinecure in the Heavenly Court.

The entire Qionghua Palace occupies a huge area, but there are only the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and the golden-armored divine general guarding the palace.

The vast Qionghua Palace doesn't even have guards, so it's naturally very easy for the West to exploit loopholes here.

Chu Hao arrived in front of the Qionghua Palace, and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and the golden-armored divine general immediately came forward to pay their respects.

"Greetings, Lord Prison God!"

"Why has Lord Prison God come to visit my Qionghua Palace?"

Chu Hao signaled the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and the golden-armored divine general to dispense with formalities, and after entering the Qionghua Palace and taking their seats, he spoke.

"I heard that the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's white sable is missing?"

"Reporting to the Prison God, my white sable did indeed go missing a few days ago. I have been searching hard, but I haven't found its whereabouts."

A look of sadness appeared on the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady's beautiful face.

"The Qionghua Palace is one of the thirty-three palaces and seventy-two halls of the Heavenly Court. Although there are no guards, there are formations guarding it. How could the white sable be lost?"

Chu Hao asked the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

"Lord Prison God, this matter is indeed strange. The white sable has low magic power. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be able to escape from the Qionghua Palace on its own."

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady also seemed very puzzled.

"My Qionghua Palace has always been quiet, and no outsiders disturb it. The loss of the white sable is indeed very strange."

The golden-armored divine general also explained to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady.

"Actually, your white sable wasn't lost, it should have been abducted."

Chu Hao said affirmatively to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and the golden-armored divine general.

Hearing Chu Hao say this, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and the golden-armored divine general were somewhat incredulous.

"My Qionghua Palace has never had any grudges with anyone, and the white sable is just my pet. Who would be so vicious?"

"The white sable has always been in the Qionghua Palace and is simple by nature. Who would plot against it?"

"It was done by the West!"

Chu Hao told the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and the golden-armored divine general about the white sable being abducted by the West to seduce and going to Tianzhu to help the West's plan.

After hearing what Chu Hao said, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and the golden-armored divine general were both furious at the West's actions.

"The West is so vicious, abducting my white sable to become a demon, wanting to smear the Heavenly Court. It's really too much to deceive others."

"Although this humble god has low magic power, I cannot allow people to be so humiliated. I must seek justice for the Qionghua Palace."

Knowing this, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and the golden-armored divine general both wanted to meet the Jade Emperor, ask the Jade Emperor to uphold justice, and demand an explanation from the West.
