I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong arrived at the Heavenly Court and headed straight for the Jade Terrace Palace. The heavenly generals guarding the palace gates, seeing someone daring to trespass, immediately came forward to stop Sun Wukong.

"This is the palace of Her Majesty the Queen Mother of the West. Who are you? How dare you trespass?" the leading heavenly general shouted sternly.

Sun Wukong stopped in his tracks, thrust his face forward, almost touching the heavenly general's eyes, and said, "Open your dog eyes and see who I, Old Sun, am."

Tianjiang blinked and then said, "Too close, I can't see clearly."

Sun Wukong raised his foot and kicked the heavenly general in the chest. The general groaned and fell backward, rolling five or six times on the ground before regaining his balance.

Once he regained his balance, he looked up and was immediately startled. "Oh my! Great Sage!" He quickly scrambled to his feet and came running over, "Great Sage, what brings you here?"

Sun Wukong said, "I suffered some injustice in the human world, so I've come to the Queen Mother to demand an explanation."

After saying that, Sun Wukong pushed the heavenly general aside and stormed into the celestial palace.

At this moment, the heavenly soldiers behind rushed forward to stop them, but the leading heavenly general shouted loudly, "Stop!"

Sun Wukong stopped and turned coldly to look at the heavenly general. The heavenly general hurriedly said, "Great Sage, I didn't say anything about you. I told them to stop."

Then he shouted at the heavenly soldiers, "Stop right there, don't move!" Then he smiled at Sun Wukong and said, "Great Sage, please go ahead."

The heavenly soldiers and generals: "???"

Sun Wukong entered the palace gate without looking back. Upon seeing this, the heavenly soldiers immediately wanted to chase after him, but were quickly stopped by the heavenly general.

The heavenly soldiers were very puzzled. "General, if the Great Sage offends the Queen Mother of the West, we will be guilty of a thousand deaths."

The Heavenly General laughed and said, "Letting him in will cause no problem; it's you who will be condemned to death if you go up to stop him!"

As they were talking, Sun Wukong had already entered the Jade Terrace Immortal Palace. However, he had never been here before, so he could only wander around aimlessly. Soon, he caused a disturbance throughout the Jade Terrace Immortal Palace, alarming the Imperial Censor Yin Lirong.

Upon receiving the report, Yin Lirong quickly came out to greet him. As soon as she saw Sun Wukong, she bowed and said, "This humble deity greets the Great Sage."

Sun Wukong appeared in front of Yin Lirong in a flash, staring at her with wide eyes and saying, "Where is the Queen Mother of the West? I, Old Sun, have come to pay my respects."

Yin Lirong quickly smiled and said, "Great Sage, Great Sage, you've come at an inopportune time. Her Majesty has gone on a tour of the myriad realms at the invitation of the Great Emperor Houtu."

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately retorted, "Is that so? Did I arrive at an inopportune time, or did the Queen Mother of the West leave at an inopportune time?"

“Great Sage, you have misunderstood,” Yin Lirong said. “This is the truth. How could I, a lowly deity, dare to deceive you? If you do not believe me, you can go to the Altar of the State and ask.”

"Hmph!" Sun Wukong snorted coldly and said, "Whether it was a coincidence or not, you must give me an explanation for what happened today, or I will wreak havoc in this Jade Terrace Palace!"

Yin Lirong was startled and quickly said, "Great Sage, please calm down! Great Sage, please calm down! What has caused you to be so angry?"

Sun Wukong asked, "Where are the Seven Fairy Maidens?"

"The Seven Fairy Maidens?" Yin Lirong was taken aback upon hearing this, then said, "Great Sage, are you referring to the seven fairy maidens who usually serve His Majesty?"

“It is them,” Sun Wukong said.

Yin Lirong laughed and said, "Oh, them? Great Sage, you don't know this, but those seven made a mistake and were banished to the mortal realm by His Majesty."

"They were banished to the mortal realm for committing a mistake?" Sun Wukong asked skeptically, "What mistake did they make?"

Yin Lirong then told Sun Wukong about the seven women bathing in the Milky Way and disturbing Zhuang Yan.

After hearing this, Sun Wukong's face turned even redder, and he said, "What shameless bastards! They rudely harassed my uncle before, and now that they've been demoted, they're causing trouble for us, master and disciple. I'm so angry!"

“Great Sage, please calm your anger.” Yin Lirong said, “Although those seven people often served His Majesty, they did not have much ability. With your divine power, how could you be trapped by them?”

Sun Wukong was stunned. "Ah, this." He suddenly realized that this matter should not be blown out of proportion. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a laughing stock if the famous Great Sage Equaling Heaven was teased by a few fairies?

Sun Wukong came to his senses and suddenly changed his tone, smiling easily as he said, "Hey, I recognized them long ago as the maids of the Queen Mother of the West, so I tolerated them many times. But they became more and more demanding, so I came to Heaven to ask the Queen Mother of the West. Since they were demoted for making a mistake, then it's fine."

After saying this, Sun Wukong cupped his hands towards Yin Lirong and said, "This old Sun takes his leave."

Yin Lirong quickly said, "Great Sage, since you're here, why don't you stay and have a cup of tea before you leave?"

"I won't bother you any longer." Sun Wukong waved his hand repeatedly, then turned and left, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

As Sun Wukong disappeared, Yin Lirong smiled. At this moment, the heavenly general guarding the palace gate walked in and asked Yin Lirong, "Young Master Yin, where is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven?"

Yin Lirong laughed and said, "Didn't you see him leave just now?"

That day, the general was stunned for a moment and said, "Was that the Great Sage just now? I thought it was a gust of wind."

“Now that the Great Sage has left, there’s nothing to worry about. I’ll head back now,” the Heavenly General said to Yin Lirong.

Yin Lirong nodded. She didn't ask the foolish question of why the Heavenly General didn't stop Sun Wukong. With Sun Wukong's temper, if you don't stop him, nothing will happen. If you do stop him, he might really smash the palace gates and break in.

After leaving the Jade Terrace Palace, Sun Wukong went directly to the Hall of Brightness. Upon seeing Sun Wukong, the spirit officials outside the hall immediately perked up and bowed, saying, "Great Sage, what brings you here?"

Sun Wukong looked at the spirit officials in front of him and laughed, "Don't be nervous. I'm just here on my way to Heaven to do some business and I'll stop by to pay my respects to the Jade Emperor."

Upon hearing this, the spirit official in the middle immediately said, "I see. Please wait a moment, Great Sage. It is our duty to inform him."

"Go, go," Sun Wukong said, waving his hand.

The spirit official in the middle then turned and went into the Tongming Hall to report. He soon returned and said to Sun Wukong, "Great Sage, His Majesty summons you."

Before the spirit officials could finish speaking, Sun Wukong had already leaped into the Tongming Hall. The spirit officials, unfazed, straightened their postures and continued their guard duty outside the hall.

Sun Wukong entered the Tongming Hall, stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Great Heavenly Venerable."

Upon seeing his behavior, the Jade Emperor laughed and said, "You little monkey, why have you suddenly become so polite?"

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "When asking someone for a favor, courtesy and righteousness should naturally come first."

The Jade Emperor laughed and said, "So you've come to ask me for help?"

“Indeed, indeed.” Sun Wukong bowed to the Jade Emperor and said, “Please, Great Heavenly Venerable, lend me the generals Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Following Ears.”

The Jade Emperor laughed and said, "I thought it was something important, with eyes that can see a thousand miles and ears that can hear the wind."

The two generals immediately stepped into the hall, bowed, and said, "Your subject is here."

The Jade Emperor said, "You two should go with the Great Sage Equaling Heaven and follow his orders."

The two generals bowed and said, "As you command."

Sun Wukong quickly bowed and thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Great Heavenly Venerable."

The Jade Emperor waved his hand and said, "Monkey, no need for formalities. Go back and help your master on his journey to the West."

So Sun Wukong bid farewell to the Jade Emperor and, with his Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Following Ears, left the Tongming Palace and went down to the mortal realm.

Upon arriving at the first heaven, Sun Wukong said to Shunfeng'er and Qianliyan, "I'll trouble you two to stay here in this heaven. If I, Old Sun, tell you who to look for, then you should look for them."

The two generals cupped their hands and said, "The Great Heavenly Venerable has decreed that we two should obey the Great Sage's orders, and we will certainly follow the Great Sage's instructions."

"Very well, very well," Sun Wukong said. "I will remember your help today." After saying that, he descended a level of heaven and returned to Chixian Mountain.

Upon returning to Chixian Mountain, after meeting the White Dragon, Pigsy, and Sandy, he first told them about the Seven Fairies' demotion, and then said, "I have already asked the Jade Emperor for the two generals, Wind-Following Ear and Thousand-Mile Eye. No matter where the Seven Fairies run, they will not escape my sight."

After saying this, Sun Wukong immediately issued an order to the heavens, instructing his clairvoyant and clairaudient to search for the seven fairy maidens.

About half an hour later, a message descended from the heavens, saying that the Seven Fairies had first gone to Qingyuan Mountain and then to Bashe City.

Bashe City is the capital of the Kingdom of Zhituo, while Qingyuan Mountain is a sacred mountain to the east of the Kingdom of Zhituo.

However, neither the all-seeing eye nor the all-hearing ear said what the Seven Fairies were doing at Qingyuan Mountain, but Pigsy guessed, "Qingyuan Mountain must be their lair."

The White Dragon said, "It's also possible that they have accomplices in those mountains."

Sha Wujing said, "Didn't they steal our travel documents and cassock? Could they be hiding them in those mountains?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately said, "Little White Dragon, Pigsy, you two go to Bashe City to keep an eye on them. I'll go to Qingyuan Mountain and then come to Bashe City to meet you. Brother Sha, you stay here to take care of Master."

The three nodded in agreement and said, "Okay." Then they went their separate ways.

Sun Wukong rode his somersault cloud and quickly arrived at Qingyuan Mountain. After inquiring, he learned that Qingyuan Mountain was the sacred site of the Third Holy Mother.

This Third Holy Mother is the third daughter of the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain, Ji Nühua, the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua.

"Could the daughter of the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain be the mastermind behind the Seven Fairy Maidens?" Sun Wukong wondered, but without evidence, he couldn't just barge in.

Sun Wukong quickly came up with a plan. He transformed himself into a bee and flew into the temple of the Holy Mother of the Three Realms.

Upon entering the temple, Sun Wukong followed the energy flow and arrived directly at the outside of a celestial dwelling. He saw that the door of the dwelling was tightly closed, with only one window open.

So Sun Wukong flew to the windowsill and landed, and immediately saw the Third Holy Mother in the room.

She was dressed in a moon-white gauze dress, adorned with jade ornaments, and was breathtakingly beautiful.

But Sun Wukong wasn't interested in the appearance of the Third Princess. Instead, he focused his gaze on her hands, and his pupils contracted.

The Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms held an extremely magnificent cassock in her hands and slowly sat down on the couch to admire it.

The cassock was none other than Tang Sanzang's brocade cassock. Upon seeing it, Sun Wukong immediately realized that the Third Holy Mother must be the backer of the Seven Fairies. Without a word, he flew into the house, revealed himself, and brandished his golden cudgel, shouting, "You audacious female thief, quickly return my cassock!" (End of Chapter)
