I am a fairy in Journey to the West

After Tiger Vanguard was captured, although he was not actually sent to retrieve the tiger's penis, heart, and bones, he was not exactly having an easy time either.

He was first hung in front of the palace gate and brutally beaten by soldiers with iron whips, but Tiger Vanguard was also an indestructible body, so he was not afraid of being beaten at all.

The iron whip, weighing dozens of kilograms, struck him, yet it didn't even break his skin.

If it weren't for being bound by the Xuanhuang divine power, it probably would have broken free of its cage long ago.

"This beast is so strong that it is not afraid of swords or spears at all." Queen Cyathea asked Fairy Crimson Silk, "We have already offended it today. If we do not deal with it in time, it will surely cause trouble in the future."

After thinking for a moment, Fairy Hongluo said, "Your Majesty, do not worry. Although this person is physically strong, he also has weaknesses."

"Oh? What is its weakness?" Queen Cyathea asked.

The Fairy Hongluo said, "This person is a tiger from the mountains who cultivated into an immortal. His whole body is extremely yang and strong. If you prepare a jar of old wine and soak him in it, the yang power in his body will overflow and blend into the wine. If a person drinks this wine, it will be a great tonic for prolonging life."

"Oh?!" Queen Salo immediately became interested and asked, "Is it really that miraculous?"

The Crimson Fairy said, "Even a single hair of an ordinary immortal has immense power over mortals, let alone soaking their entire body in wine."

Upon hearing this, Queen Salo was instantly thrilled and said, "In that case, I will immediately order the guards to prepare wine and jars."

Soon after, Queen Cyathea ordered a large vat weighing a thousand catties to be placed in the 'Funglin-in' of the palace and filled with sake.

Then, Fairy Hongluo applied Xuanhuang divine power to the large vat to form a barrier, and then had Tiger Vanguard carried up and thrown directly into the vat.

Tiger Vanguard cursed, "You vile women, aiding and abetting evil, bringing calamity to the world, I will exterminate you all sooner or later."

The fairy in green said, "Before you can kill us all, we will devour you completely."

Tiger Vanguard, once thrown into the vat, knew what they wanted to do and said, "You vixens want to soak me in wine? Fine, I'll just poop and pee in here and see how you drink it!"

Queen Cyathea's expression changed, but the fairy in purple laughed and said, "Don't scare us. We are all immortals, how could we not know? The food that immortals eat is naturally refined after entering their internal organs, so where would excrement and urine come from?"

Upon hearing this, Queen Cyathea's expression returned to normal; she had indeed been disgusted just now.

Seeing that he couldn't fool the Seven Fairies, Tiger Vanguard glanced at the large vat where he was, smelled the rich aroma of wine, and laughed loudly, "Hahaha, I love drinking the most. I'm so grateful that you've prepared so much fine sake. Since that's the case, then this god won't be polite."

After saying that, Tiger Vanguard plunged headfirst into the vat full of sake. A 'glug' sound came from inside, and a few bubbles rose from it from time to time. The sake in the vat was disappearing at an extremely fast speed.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Tiger Vanguard had drunk all the thousand catties of sake in the vat. Leaning against the vat, Tiger Vanguard rubbed his belly and said, "Not enough, not enough, another thousand catties."

Seeing this, Queen Cyathea frowned and asked Fairy Crimson Silk, "What should we do?"

The Red Silk Fairy laughed and said, "Your Majesty, you can send people out of the palace to buy sake from the people of the city. I want to see just how big his belly is."

Queen Salvia, upon hearing this, said with a worried expression, "I'm afraid the ministers will not agree to such a drain on the national treasury."

The Crimson Fairy smiled and said, "Money is a small matter." Then she took out a purple coin from her sleeve and handed it to Queen Cyathea.

When Queen Cyathea saw the purple coins, her expression changed immediately, and she exclaimed, "Purple coins?!"

"Is this one purple coin enough to buy all the wine in the city?" Fairy Red Robe asked.

Queen Cyathea exclaimed in shock, "That's enough! Purple coins are priceless. One purple coin is enough to buy the entire city of Bashe."

Queen Cyathea accepted the purple coins and had no further concerns. She immediately summoned the palace officials and ordered them to go out and buy as much sake as possible from the entire city.

Soon after, carts filled with sake jars were brought into the royal palace grounds, where the sake was poured into sake vats by the guards.

Tiger Vanguard naturally accepted all offers, drinking as much as poured, and in less than an hour, he had consumed ten thousand catties of wine.

However, although the food and drink consumed by immortals are completely refined within their bodies, the refined energy still enters their physical bodies.

So after Tiger Vanguard drank 10,000 jin, although the wine of mortals is insignificant to immortals, 10,000 jin is still quite a lot of concentrated wine.

After downing another 5,000 jin of wine, Tiger Vanguard's face was flushed, his eyes were glazed, and he could barely speak.

After the guards poured another 5,000 catties of wine down, Tiger Vanguard began to gag and started swimming unsteadily in the wine vat.

Seeing this, the Seven Fairies and the Tree Fern Queen both laughed.

Then Fairy Hongluo said, "The jar can be sealed now. Just leave a few palace servants here to watch over it. Add more wine whenever the amount inside gets low."

"Alright." Queen Saluo nodded with a smile, then left two palace maids and a team of guards to watch over the place and add wine, while she and the Seven Fairies left Fenglin Courtyard.

Back in the palace, Fairy Hongluo took out something and handed it to Queen Shuluo, saying, "Your Majesty, please keep this safe."

"Oh?" Queen Cyathea took the item, unfolded it, and saw that it was a travel permit. "Whose travel permit is this?"

The Fairy Hongluo said, "It's the travel document of Tang Sanzang, who is imprisoned in the jail."

Queen Cyathea asked in confusion, "Why are you giving me this?"

The Fairy of Red Silk smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this item is only for use in times of emergency. If one day Tang Sanzang and his companions escape from prison and we are not by Your Majesty's side, you can simply take out this item and give it to Tang Sanzang and his companions to avoid disaster."

Queen Cyathea paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will remember what Sister Hongluo said." With that, she put the travel permit into her sleeve.

But then she thought for a moment and said, "Since we're afraid of Tang Sanzang and the others escaping, why don't we just kill them now?"

At this point, Queen Saluo added, "Now that the king is seriously ill and unable to manage state affairs, I will take charge of all state affairs. Killing a few monks is just a matter of my word."

"No!" The seven fairies were startled, not expecting the queen to be so extreme, and they all advised, "These monks must not be killed."

Queen Cyathea was very puzzled and said, "Why can't we kill them? If we can't kill them, why make things difficult for them?"

This question truly stumped the Seven Fairies. It wasn't that they couldn't explain it, but rather that any explanation they could give would seem absurd.

"What? Can't I say?" Queen Cyathea asked.

Fairy Hongluo realized what was happening and said, "It's not that I can't tell you."

At this point, Fairy Hongluo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Actually, we are here to make things difficult for Tang Sanzang on orders, but as for whose orders we are on, we really cannot say." Fairy Baiyi said, "Your Majesty, Tang Sanzang's journey to the West to obtain the scriptures is destined to be filled with tribulations, so we have come here to create tribulations for him."

The fairy in black said, "Only by going through tribulations can one achieve perfect merit."

After listening, Queen Cyathea seemed to understand some things, but still didn't quite understand. "You immortals are really strange. Since you've already become immortals, you should roam freely in the world and play among mortals. Why do you have to impose tribulations on people? It makes you feel restricted and makes others uncomfortable. Since you're going to retrieve the scriptures, the journey has already been difficult enough. There's no need to create any more tribulations or trials. I originally thought that things in the mortal world were complicated enough, but I didn't expect that things in heaven are just as simple."

The seven fairies looked at each other in surprise, not expecting that this mortal queen could say such profound truths.

The Red Silk Fairy smiled and said, "What the Queen says is true, but even heaven and earth are not perfect, let alone the affairs of the immortals and mortals. Many things seem cheap when they are too simple, and trivial when they are too complicated. The important thing is the person who controls all of this. His thoughts are more important than anything else in the world."

Queen Cyathea nodded slightly, as if she understood what she was hearing.

Unexpectedly, not only did the Heavenly Calamity Blade fail to break through the Xuanhuang Divine Power, but Tiger Vanguard also ended up losing himself.

Sun Wukong naturally dared not go to Lingtai Mountain at this moment. He had to find a way to rescue Tiger Vanguard as well, but he was helpless against the Xuanhuang Divine Power. Just as Sun Wukong was troubled, a voice suddenly came to his ear.

"Why do you look so worried, my dear brother?" A faint voice drifted by on a gentle breeze.

Upon hearing this voice, Sun Wukong jumped up and looked up at the sky. He saw a Taoist priest with wide robes, long beard reaching his chest, and an otherworldly air riding on a cloud.

Sun Wukong was overjoyed and leaped onto the cloud where the Taoist was. "Brother, what brings you here?"

The visitor was none other than Zhenyuan Daxian, the master of Wuzhuang Temple who had become sworn brothers with Sun Wukong. Zhenyuanzi waved his whisk and said with a smile, "I went to visit a friend at Mount Ling a few days ago. Today, I left Mount Ling and was on my way back to Wuzhuang Temple when I passed by here and saw you sighing and looking troubled. So I stopped to ask you."

Sun Wukong was overjoyed to hear this and grabbed Zhen Yuanzi's wide sleeves, saying, "Brother, you've come at the right time. I have something I need your help with."

Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said, "Brother, please speak freely, and I will certainly do my best."

So Sun Wukong told Zhen Yuanzi about the Seven Fairy Maidens. After listening, Zhen Yuanzi said happily, "Brother, don't worry. Although that pagoda is a treasure acquired later in life, I have a way to subdue it."

"Oh?!" Sun Wukong was slightly surprised and asked, "Brother, is it true?"

Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said, "The truth or falsehood will be known in time. But I have something to say, and I hope you will listen to me."

Sun Wukong said, "Brother, please speak."

Zhen Yuanzi said, "After I take the pagoda, my virtuous brother, please don't kill the seven fairy maidens. Let me escort them to Buzhou Mountain to be punished, how about that?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong agreed without hesitation, saying, "That's the right thing to do, I'll obey."

“Alright.” Zhen Yuanzi nodded and smiled, then said to Sun Wukong, “Brother, you may lead the way.”

So Sun Wukong took Zhen Yuanzi and rode away on a cloud, entering Bashe City and arriving directly in the sky outside the Bashe City Palace.

Sun Wukong shouted loudly down below, "Demoness, your Grandpa Sun has arrived! Why don't you come out and pay your respects!"

The Seven Fairy Maidens and Queen Cyathea were playing chess in the pavilion when they heard Sun Wukong's shout. The Seven Fairy Maidens immediately got up and said to Queen Cyathea, "Your Majesty, that monkey is here again. Let's go out and chase him away before we come back to play chess."

Queen Cyathea nodded and smiled, "Alright." Then she got up and walked to the small window to look outside.

But then they saw two people standing on the white cloud in the sky. One was the same "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" from before, and the other was the Queen of the Cyathea, whom they had never seen before.

As the Seven Fairies stepped out of the small pavilion, about to fly up to the sky, their expressions changed drastically upon seeing Zhen Yuanzi.

Why do you think that is? It's because they have also met Zhen Yuanzi. Whenever there is a celebration in heaven, such as the Peach Banquet held by the Queen Mother of the West, this ancestor of earthly immortals always has a place.

So when they saw Zhen Yuanzi appear, the seven fairies exchanged glances, knowing that today was the last day.

So the Crimson Fairy slowed her pace and turned to Queen Cyathea, saying, "Your Majesty, make sure you keep that travel permit safe, and remember what I said."

Queen Cyathea was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded and said, "Alright."

Then the seven fairies flew into the sky, with Fairy Hongluo leading the way, and said to Sun Wukong, "Great Sage, have you come to apologize?"

Sun Wukong sneered and said, "Enough with the nonsense, bring out your pagoda now, and we'll see who wins today."

"Alright, since the Great Sage has given the order, then don't blame Hongluo for being rude." After saying that, Fairy Hongluo immediately summoned the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, activating its power, transforming it into a huge divine pagoda that covered the sky and the earth, and fell directly down on Sun Wukong and Zhen Yuanzi.

Upon seeing this, Zhen Yuanzi laughed and said, "So it is a treasure of merit, my good brother. No wonder you couldn't do anything to it."

"Oh?" Sun Wukong asked, while enduring the immense power of the Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda, "What's the explanation?"

Zhen Yuanzi said, "The strongest aspect of the Treasure of Merit is its defensive power. Not to mention you, my brother, even I would find it difficult to break through its defenses."

Sun Wukong's expression changed, and he said, "Brother, are you also unable to do anything about it?"

"That's not necessary. Brute force won't work against such a powerful defensive treasure." With that, Zhen Yuanzi leaped into the sky, waved his whisk in his right hand, and flicked his wide sleeve in his left, shouting in a clear voice, "Withdraw!"

The next moment, the world suddenly darkened, and the sun and moon disappeared in an instant. Zhen Yuanzi activated the Qiankun in his sleeve, and in a single moment, he took the entire Xuanhuang Linglong Pagoda into his sleeve.

When the world brightened again, Zhen Yuanzi had already pulled back his wide sleeves and let them hang down under his arms, and the Xuanhuang Exquisite Pagoda had long since disappeared.

Along with it, the prison barrier that held Tang Sanzang and the others, the barrier on Tiger Vanguard's wine jar, and the Xuanhuang divine power protecting the Seven Fairies also disappeared.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong clapped his hands excitedly and exclaimed, "Brother, what amazing magic!"

Zhen Yuanzi smiled slightly. Seeing the Seven Fairies turn to escape, he pointed his whisk again, and a beam of immortal light descended, instantly capturing the Seven Fairies into his sleeve.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong quickly cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, brother."

Zhen Yuanzi bowed in return and said, "Brother, you can go and rescue your master and the others. I will send the seven women to Buzhou Mountain."

Sun Wukong cupped his hands and said, "Brother, please take care."

Then Zhen Yuanzi turned and rode away on a cloud, while Sun Wukong flew into the palace first and caught a palace servant to ask about the whereabouts of Tiger Vanguard.

The palace servants were terrified and quickly informed Sun Wukong of Tiger Vanguard's location. Sun Wukong then stormed all the way to Fenglin Courtyard and rescued Tiger Vanguard.

Tiger Vanguard was still soaking in the vat, completely drunk. Sun Wukong had no choice but to carry him to reunite with Tang Sanzang and the others. (End of Chapter)
