Chapter 648: Journey to the West: Zhu Jiumei 7
When Zhu Jiumei heard about this, she hurried to Pantao Garden.

"Brother, it's bad. I heard that an immortal slandered you to the Jade Emperor, saying that you stole peaches from the Peach Garden and caused a big disaster." Zhu Jiumei said anxiously.

When Sun Wukong heard this, he was furious: "I am an upright person, how could I steal the peaches! That villain must have framed me."

"Brother, don't be impulsive. We need to take a long-term view." Zhu Jiumei said.

At this moment, the Jade Emperor's messenger came and summoned Sun Wukong to go to the Lingxiao Palace.

Sun Wukong snorted coldly: "I want to see what the old Jade Emperor is up to!"

When we arrived at the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor was sitting on the throne with a gloomy face.

"Sun Wukong, someone has accused you of stealing the peaches from the immortal world. Do you admit your crime?" the Jade Emperor shouted.

Sun Wukong's eyes widened with anger: "Jade Emperor, please don't listen to my slander. I never ate anything secretly! You allowed me to eat one or two a day, but I never ate more."

"Hmph, the evidence is irrefutable, yet you still dare to quibble!" The Jade Emperor slammed the table.

Zhu Jiumei stepped forward and said, "Jade Emperor, this matter has not been fully investigated yet, so you can't easily convict someone."

The Jade Emperor sneered and said, "Then what do you think should be done?"

Zhu Jiumei said: "Why not investigate this matter thoroughly, find out who framed you, and clear Senior Brother's name."

The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give you three days. If you can't find out the truth, Sun Wukong, you can be punished!"

After Sun Wukong and Zhu Jiumei left the Lingxiao Palace, they immediately began to investigate the matter.

After some twists and turns, they finally discovered that it was a fairy maiden around the Queen Mother who was jealous of Sun Wukong's control of the Peach Garden and deliberately framed him.

Sun Wukong took the evidence and came to the Lingxiao Palace again.

"Jade Emperor, the truth is now known. What should you do?" Sun Wukong asked.

The Jade Emperor looked very unhappy and had no choice but to order the fairy to be punished.

After this series of disturbances, Sun Wukong became even more disgusted with the intrigues in heaven, and Zhu Jiumei was constantly thinking about how to change this situation.

A few days later, Zhu Jiumei came to the Lingxiao Palace and said, "Jade Emperor, there is one more thing. I heard that Taishang Laojun's Bagua Furnace is extremely magical. Can you lend it to me?"

Taishang Laojun frowned and said, "The Eight Trigrams Furnace is my treasure for refining elixirs and weapons. How can I lend it to others so easily?"

Zhu Jiumei smiled and explained, "Don't worry, Laojun. I don't want to take it for myself. I just encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation recently. I heard that the Eight Trigrams Furnace can temper muscles and bones and improve cultivation, so I want to borrow it. I will return it as soon as possible without damaging it."

The Jade Emperor looked at Taishang Laojun and said, "Laojun, what do you think?"

Taishang Laojun hesitated for a long time and said, "In that case, I will lend it to you, but it must not exceed three days."

Zhu Jiumei hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you Laojun, thank you Jade Emperor."

When Zhu Jiumei saw that the Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun agreed, she hurried to find Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong curiously asked Zhu Jiumei: "Junior sister, what do you want this Bagua furnace for? I don't think this thing can be of much use."

Zhu Jiumei smiled mysteriously: "Brother, you don't understand this. I have my own uses. You will understand after using me."

The two did not want to guard the Peach Garden anymore, so they said goodbye to the Jade Emperor and others and returned to the Flower-Fruit Mountain. The monkeys and their descendants cheered.

"The king is back! He has been given the title of Great Sage Equaling Heaven. The king is mighty and will bring glory to our Flower-Fruit Mountain!"

Sun Wukong and Zhu Jiumei walked into the Water Curtain Cave amid cheers.

Zhu Jiumei said to Sun Wukong, "Brother, I will go to the Jade Emperor to get the Eight Trigrams Furnace. You wait for me in Huaguo Mountain."

Sun Wukong nodded: "Go quickly and come back soon."

Zhu Jiumei flew on the somersault cloud and headed straight for the Tushita Palace of Taishang Laojun.

When they arrived at the Tushita Palace, Taishang Laojun warned them seriously: "Remember, don't touch the elixir in the furnace."

Zhu Jiumei responded, "Don't worry, old man."

She carefully moved the Bagua Furnace back to Huaguo Mountain.

Sun Wukong looked at the huge Bagua furnace and asked in confusion: "Junior sister, can this thing really help you break through the bottleneck?"

Zhu Jiumei sat down cross-legged and used her magic power: "Brother, it's not to help me, but to help you."

She cast a spell to open the Bagua furnace, and a wave of heat rushed towards her. She took a deep breath and shouted to Sun Wukong, "Brother, come in quickly."

Although Sun Wukong didn't know what she wanted to do, he still jumped into the furnace.

Outside the furnace, Zhu Jiumei was waiting anxiously.

Time passed by minute by minute, and two days passed in the blink of an eye. On the third day, the Bagua furnace suddenly shook violently, and Zhu Jiumei was startled.

With a "bang", the furnace cover was lifted open by a powerful force, and Sun Wukong flew out of the furnace.

He exuded a powerful aura and shouted excitedly: "Junior sister, I succeeded! Not only did my skills improve, but I also got a pair of blazing eyes."

Zhu Jiumei circled around him and said, "Haha, it seems that this Bagua furnace is really useful!"

At this time, the voice of the Jade Emperor came from the sky: "Sister Zhu Jiu, the three days are up, please return the Bagua furnace as soon as possible."

Zhu Jiumei did not dare to delay and brought the Bagua Furnace back to the Heavenly Palace again.

After returning the Bagua Furnace, Zhu Jiumei and Sun Wukong were about to leave but were stopped by the Queen Mother.

"Two meritorious officials, I will host a banquet in Yaochi, please come and enjoy it."

Sun Wukong snorted, "I'm not interested."

Zhu Jiumei pulled him and said, "Brother, Queen Mother has such good intentions, it would be okay for us to go and take a look."

When we arrived at the Yaochi Lake, we saw a wide variety of fairy fruits and fine wines.

Zhu Jiumei sighed inwardly: "The luxury of this heaven is indeed extraordinary."

After three rounds of drinking, Zhu Jiumei suddenly stood up, bowed to the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother, and said, "Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, although the evil forces have been eradicated, there are still many hidden dangers in the world. My brother and I are willing to continue to serve the Heavenly Court and protect the peace of the Three Realms."

The Jade Emperor smiled and nodded: "With you two here, I feel at ease."

Zhu Jiumei continued, "However, my senior brother, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, has not yet found a residence. I hope the Jade Emperor can grant him a suitable place."

The Jade Emperor thought for a moment and said: "Then I will give the mansion next to the Peach Garden to Sun Wukong."

Sun Wukong and Zhu Jiumei thanked the Jade Emperor and left Yaochi.

On the way, Sun Wukong said to Zhu Jiumei: "Junior sister, you are really thoughtful."

Zhu Jiumei smiled and said, "Brother, you are upright and honest. I will consider these matters for you."

From then on, Sun Wukong had his own residence in Heaven. The two stayed in Heaven for a few days and then returned to Huaguo Mountain.

Time passed, and some more time passed.

One day, Zhu Jiumei was practicing, and suddenly she felt uneasy. She counted with her fingers, and her face changed drastically.

"Brother, it's not good. It seems that a great disaster is about to befall the world."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately jumped up and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go and take a look!"

The two hurried to the human world.

I saw a flood in the world and the people were displaced.

Sun Wukong's eyes widened with anger: "This must be a demon causing trouble!"

Zhu Jiumei nodded and said, "Brother, let's split up and look for the monster's trace."

After some investigation, they discovered that it was a water monster causing the trouble.

Without saying a word, Sun Wukong picked up his golden cudgel and started hitting.

The water monster was not willing to be outdone and started a fierce battle with Sun Wukong.

Zhu Jiumei performed magic to assist Sun Wukong.

After a fierce battle, Sun Wukong finally beat the water monster to death with one blow.

The flood gradually receded and the people were grateful to Sun Wukong and Zhu Jiumei.

Sun Wukong looked at the devastated scene and said with emotion: "Junior sister, when will the suffering in this world end?"

Zhu Jiumei said firmly: "Brother, as long as we are here, we will never let evil succeed and we will bring peace to the world."

The two figures appeared particularly tall in the afterglow of the setting sun. They embarked on a new journey and continued to protect this world.

In the days that followed, Sun Wukong and Zhu Jiumei solved the crises in the three realms again and again, and their reputations spread to every corner, becoming heroes in everyone's hearts.

However, the peaceful days did not last long.

One day, an urgent report came from Heaven that something unusual had occurred in the underworld.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Jiumei immediately rushed to the underworld.

In the underworld, an eerie atmosphere permeates the air, and the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling are endless.
