Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 461 Yang Chan: There are Lovers in the World
"Yang Chan, the Precious Lotus Lantern, the Heavenly Rule..."

When Xiao Chen saw Yang Chan suddenly immersed in thinking about things related to "love", his heart couldn't help but move.

In the heaven, it has always been a taboo for gods to fall in love. The heaven has extremely strict control over this aspect. Love between gods and mortals is like touching a reverse scale, which is an absolute taboo that is not allowed.

Yang Chan's mother, Fairy Yunhua, fell in love with a mortal man because of her worldly desires, and ultimately ended up with a tragic ending and died.

And Yang Chan eventually followed in her mother's footsteps.

Perhaps it was fate, or perhaps it was because love was hard to control, Yang Chan later broke the cold and ruthless heavenly law because of her love.

At that time, Yang Jian was already the god of justice in heaven, shouldering the heavy responsibility of maintaining the majesty of the heavenly laws.

Yang Jian holds a three-pointed, double-edged sword in his hand, sitting in the Heavenly Palace. He is majestic and enforces the law with a strong sense of justice. All the gods in the Heavenly Palace are in awe of him.

Fortunately, Yang Jian is not the Jade Emperor, and he is not so cruel as to kill the girl directly.

Yang Jian pretended to be impartial on the surface, but in fact he was letting the enemy off in secret.

In the process of dealing with Yang Chan's affairs, Yang Jian also took the opportunity to modify the Heavenly Rules, changing the old Heavenly Rules into new Heavenly Rules.

A virtuous woman is afraid of being pestered by a man, and a fairy cannot resist the pestering of a scoundrel.

At that time, Yang Chan was harassed by Liu Yanchang's obscene poems.

At first, Yang Chan was annoyed by Liu Yanchang's entanglement, but as time went on, a ripple gradually appeared in her heart.

but.

This matter is far from as simple as it seems on the surface. There is another mastermind behind the scenes manipulating it secretly.

After Yang Jian went to Lingshan and struck Dingguang Happy Buddha, the matter was probably resolved.

The Yang Chan incident was actually the core fuse that promoted the reform of the Heavenly Rules in the Heavenly Court.

Yang Jian was the mastermind behind the scenes.

Of course, these things...all happened after the Journey to the West ended and Sun Wukong became the Fighting Buddha.

The current laws of heaven are still very strict.

He, King Jinjiao, was a wild demon king from the lower world, and Yang Chan was a deity from heaven. Even if something happened by chance, it would be difficult to have any result.

Behind the Heavenly Law is the entire Heavenly Court.

Anyone who violates the Heavenly Law will be punished by the entire Heavenly Court.

Even if he could defeat Erlang Shen Zhenjun Yang Jian, he would only have crossed the first seemingly insurmountable threshold.

Behind him are the Nine-Heavenly Thunder God, the Four Saints of the North Pole, Dou Mu Yuanjun, the Four Emperors of Heaven... the Queen Mother and the Jade Emperor.

Then go to Sanqing.

The only way is to do like Emperor Donghua, who raised an army to rebel against heaven, disobeyed the laws of heaven, and created a new world.

As for what the rules of these three realms are, naturally it is King Golden Horn who has the final say.

However, the Heavenly Court is currently at its peak, and its power is at its peak. How difficult would it be to break the stubbornness?
Even if the entire demon army of Uttarakuru was mobilized, it would be difficult to compete with the Heavenly Court.

After all, Yang Chan is a legitimate god in heaven and the niece of the Jade Emperor, so her identity is sensitive.

She is not comparable to the Jade Maidens in the Hall of Fragrance or the maids in Heaven.

In "The Lotus Lantern", Yang Chan had a love affair, which ended up causing a war among the three realms. This shows how sensitive Yang Chan's identity is.

If Yang Jian hadn't secretly protected Yang Chan.

Yang Chan might have the same fate as her mother, Fairy Yunhua, and died long ago.

He is the King of Golden Horns, a wild monster from the lower world. Perhaps only if he reaches the level of Demon Master Kunpeng can he make the Heavenly Court have some concerns?
That's exactly what it says:

"How can I enter the prosperous world when I have lived in poverty all my life? How can I miss a beautiful woman with my clean hands?"

He, the King of the Golden Horn, can only try his best.

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment, glanced around, and whispered:
"Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?"

"Third Holy Mother, the love and friendship in this world is the most precious thing in this world."

"Because it is precious, it needs someone to protect it and someone to pay for it."

"Maybe, there will be a day when all lovers in the world will finally get married."

"Lovers in the world will eventually marry..."

Xiao Chen repeated it again, as if to emphasize, or to encourage.

Perhaps it is just as Zhang Ailing said in her novel Red Rose and White Rose:
"Perhaps every man has had two such women, at least two. If you marry a red rose, over time, the red will become a smear of mosquito blood on the wall, and the white will still be the 'bright moonlight in front of the bed'; if you marry a white rose, the white will be a grain of rice stuck on your clothes, and the red will be a cinnabar mole on your heart."

Sometimes, that touch of white moonlight is always hard to forget.

"Lovers in the world will eventually marry..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chan sighed softly. That sigh contained endless complex emotions, including yearning for beautiful love, helplessness towards reality, and confusion about the future. No one knew what she was thinking.

She is the daughter of Fairy Yunhua.

Since she was young, she witnessed her mother, Fairy Yunhua, rebelling against the heavenly rules and dying for love.

That tragic scene was like a scar engraved in her heart, and it made her feel heartbroken every time she recalled it.

It was this scene that planted the seeds of resistance and rebellion in her heart.

She looks weak on the outside, but she is very strong on the inside.

After hearing about the story of Fairy Peony and Emperor Donghua, she couldn't help but feel a little rebellious towards the Heavenly Law.

She felt that this strict heavenly law was like an icy shackle that ruthlessly bound the emotions of all living beings, preventing lovers from being together and mercilessly strangling true love.

"Xiao Chen..."

At this moment, the figure of the scholar Xiao Chen at Huashan appeared in Yang Chan's mind.

That scholar is the Golden Toad Demon King.

Although he was down and out, he had a unique charm. His talented appearance and the courage to stand up in times of crisis all caused ripples in Yang Chan's heart.

Since ancient times, fairies in heaven have loved talented but down-and-out scholars. This is an eternal truth.

Such as the Seven Fairies and the scholar Dong Yong, Nie Xiaoqian and the scholar Ning Caichen, Bai Suzhen and the scholar Xu Xian, Yunhua Fairy and the scholar Yang Tianyou, Dongting Lake Dragon Girl and the scholar Liu Yi...

The same is true for the Three Holy Mothers.

In fact, she still had some good feelings towards the down-and-out scholar Xiao Chen.

At the beginning, after the incident, she was in a state of confusion, her heart full of shame, anger and confusion. She just wanted to find a place to calm down and sort out her thoughts.

But she didn't know much about the Golden Toad Demon King.

Just in a daze, some things happened to everyone, and everything that should have happened happened.

This was also a coincidence. Xiao Chen (Golden Toad Demon King) also wanted to save her and came to save her.

Otherwise, her innocence would be ruined.

At first, they had been in spiritual communication for a long time. After the incident, she was upset, full of shame, anger and confusion, and just wanted to find a place to calm down.

However, there has been no news of the Golden Toad Demon King since then.

This golden toad demon king never appeared in Huashan again, as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth, without even an explanation. It was truly irresponsible.

"Scumbag..."

Yang Chan couldn't help feeling a little disappointed and resentful.

After all, if he runs away after having fun, isn't that a scumbag?
but.

Yang Chan naturally didn't know that there was another hidden story behind this.

Think about that time.

Yang Jian once rushed to Chechi Kingdom at lightning speed, holding a three-pointed, double-edged sword. He almost put the sword on Xiao Chen's neck, full of warnings and murderous intent, and forced Xiao Chen to promise "never to disturb him actively".

Of course, this is Yang Jian's way of protecting his sister.

Yang Jian knew very well:

"What can possibly happen between a wild monster from the lower world and a deity from the heavenly world?" This is bound to have no good outcome.

If "love between immortals and mortals" is a taboo, then "love between immortals and demons" is probably a capital crime punishable by immediate death.

His mother, Fairy Yunhua, committed the crime of "love between an immortal and a mortal" and was suppressed by the Heavenly Court under Peach Mountain, where she was tortured and reflected on her mistakes.

That dark and damp Peach Mountain, the endless torture and pain, were all endured by the mother.

If Fairy Yunhua admitted her mistake, there would still be a glimmer of hope.

But if his sister Yang Chan were to fall in love with a fairy or a demon, it would probably be regarded as a heinous act by the Heavenly Court, and Yang Chan would be executed on the spot.

Yang Chan didn't even have the chance to be suppressed in Huashan.

In order to defend the dignity of heaven, the Jade Emperor can even kill his own sister, so what is a niece?
But Yang Jian is not as cruel as the Jade Emperor, he still cares about his sister very much.

In his own way, Yang Jian silently provided a protective umbrella for his sister, even though the umbrella seemed cold and heartless.

But, Yang Jian had no choice!

He, Yang Jian, had no choice!
To protect my sister.

He, Yang Jian, could only be this heartless person and cruelly cut off the relationship for his sister!

Even if he was blamed by his sister in the future, even if everyone said he was heartless and ungrateful, he could only swallow the bitterness silently and bear it alone.

How can I express in words how Yang Jian, the brother, had such a far-sighted plan to protect his sister?
……

"May I have your name……"

Yang Chan raised her delicate head slightly, her eyes fell on the heavenly soldier in front of her, with whom she was talking quite harmoniously, and she opened her red lips and spoke.

Yang Chan's voice is very pleasant, like the gurgling of a mountain spring, with a hint of coolness and curiosity, stirring people's heartstrings.

"I am Yang Guoshan."

Xiao Chen hurriedly bowed, his back as straight as a pine or cypress, and responded respectfully.

Yang Chan nodded slightly, and the veil fluttered like smoke and mist, revealing her exquisite profile just right.

Her eyebrows are like emerald feathers, her skin is like mutton fat, and her face is framed by peach petals. She is breathtakingly beautiful.

Yang Chan said softly:

"Yang Guoshan, your last name is also Yang?"

"Over the mountains, the boat has already passed through thousands of mountains, the road ahead is long but also bright."

"That's a nice name."

Women are always very careful and their sixth sense is extremely sharp.

Yang Chan's eyes were like a gurgling stream, slowly looking at Xiao Chen with a hint of exploration and curiosity.

That gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the skin and reach the depths of the soul.

For some reason, she always felt that there was a familiar feeling about the heavenly soldier in front of her, as if she had seen him somewhere. The vague aura was very much like the scholar in her memory who saved her from danger at all costs, causing ripples in her heart.

Xiao Chen's heart tightened and he quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Yang Chan, for fear that her sharp eyes would see through him.

After all, this was the Heavenly Palace, which was heavily guarded, like an airtight net. In the Heavenly Palace, there were many bigwigs, each of whom had the ability to reach the sky and penetrate the earth; there were millions of heavenly soldiers, all of whom were well-trained and had powerful magic.

Once his identity as a wild monster is exposed, he will be immediately taken to the Demon Execution Platform.

Xiao Chen said calmly:
"Thank you, Third Holy Mother. This name was just given by my parents at random."

Yang Chan smiled gently, and that smile was like a flower blooming in spring, instantly brightening up the somewhat cold Taiyin Palace:

"Did you take it at random?"

"But I think this name has a very good meaning. I think your parents must be well-read people, so they can come up with such a meaningful name."

Xiao Chen felt relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and followed her words and said:
"What the Third Holy Mother said is that although my parents came from an ordinary family, they also hoped that I would be like this name, and that after going through hardships, I would have a bright and smooth life ahead."

Yang Chan was slightly moved, with a hint of admiration in her eyes:
"Your parents are quite far-sighted."

"It is the same in the Heavenly Palace. Only by constantly practicing and improving your own magic power can you gain a firm foothold in this place full of powerful people."

Xiao Chen nodded quickly and said yes:

"What the Third Holy Mother said is absolutely right. I will definitely keep it in mind and practice hard to live up to the expectations of my parents and the Third Holy Mother."

The two were talking.

The Jade Rabbit Fairy and a group of female fairies have applied medicine to the injured heavenly soldiers.

The Jade Rabbit Fairy came over skipping and jumping. She looked up and said playfully:
"Sister Yang Chan, I have already applied medicine to these heavenly soldiers."

"Let's go back. I want to hear more stories about the mortal world from you. I haven't heard enough of the story about the scholar and the fox demon you told me last time."

Yang Chan said softly:

"Okay, Yu'er, let's go back."

She turned and looked at Xiao Chen, with a hint of gentleness in her eyes:
"Yang Guoshan, your injury is not serious. You should take good care of yourself and you will be fine after a few days of rest."

Xiao Chen hurriedly bowed, with a respectful attitude and sincere words:

“Thank you, Three Holy Mothers, for your concern.”

"Fairy, walk slowly."

Yang Chan moved gracefully and lightly, and was about to turn around and leave.

But just after taking half a step, he seemed to be held back by something. He suddenly stopped and looked back slowly.

There seemed to be stars twinkling in Yang Chan's beautiful eyes, with a hint of indescribable inquiry and doubt, as if she wanted to see through Xiao Chen:

"Yang Guoshan, I don't know why, but I always feel like I know you. Have we met before?"

"Did Yang Chan see it?"

Xiao Chen felt his heart suddenly shaken, as if being hit hard by a heavy hammer, but his face remained calm and composed, and he quickly bowed and said:

"The Third Holy Mother is joking. I am just a humble heavenly soldier, busy in the heaven every day. How could I have the blessing to have an encounter with the Third Holy Mother?"

"I have an ordinary face. People often say that I look like an old friend and have the same appearance as him."

“Perhaps this is why the Three Holy Mothers had this illusion.”

"That's it..."

Yang Chan shook her head gently, and a trace of confusion flashed in her beautiful eyes, making it difficult to see clearly.

Yang Chan said nothing more, turned around and left.

The slender figure gradually disappeared into the misty sky, leaving behind only a faint fragrance lingering around Xiao Chen's nose.

It is:

"Suddenly an old friend comes to mind, looking back I have already passed thousands of mountains."

"I am so close yet so far away, I am so close to you in my dreams, I am so far away, I am sending you a beautiful moon."

At this time, Duan Tianliang rushed over from the side like a ghost, his face full of jealousy, he looked like a vicious dog guarding its food, his teeth bared, his eyes full of indignation, he said in a yin-yang tone:
"Yang Guoshan, I saw you had a very pleasant conversation with the Third Holy Mother just now, I wonder what you talked about?"

"Don't you have some shameful little secret that you're hiding and won't tell us?"

He was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, fidgeting, scratching his ears and cheeks with his hands, staring at Yang Chan, wanting to go over and talk to her, to show his face in front of the Three Holy Mothers, to get close to her, and maybe even use this opportunity to climb up the social ladder.

But Yang Chan glanced at him casually, her eyes were as cold as frost, as if carrying endless chill, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious:

"Stay away, don't come over here."

He was like an eggplant hit by frost - wilted, and his whole body lost its spirit in an instant. His originally straight back became hunched, and he looked dejected and did not dare to come closer.

Xiao Chen shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly:
"The Third Holy Mother was kindhearted. Seeing that I was seriously injured, she chatted with me for a while and comforted me."

Duan Tianliang was struck by lightning when he heard this. He stood there in a daze, then he put his hands on his head, regretting it so much that he stamped his feet in annoyance and shouted:
"If I had known this, I would have gotten hurt too."

"It's rare to see the Three Holy Mothers."

"Why didn't I think of this trick? I missed this great opportunity in vain. I am so stupid!"
