I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Inside the Flying Spirit Cave on Jingzhu Mountain, Zhu Qingqiu tied up a man and threw him in front of the Flying Spirit Cave Master.

The man had red lips and white teeth, and a handsome face. In particular, his masculine aura made the Flying Spirit Cave Master like him at first sight.

"Master of Flying Spirit Cave, what do you think of this?" Zhu Qingqiu said with a smug look on her face.

The Flying Spirit Cave Master, dressed in a red gauze robe, with a slender waist and delicate features, was beautiful and alluring. She looked at the man with shining eyes and kept praising him, saying, "This is good, this is good."

“Of course it’s good. He’s the son of Master Liu from Fengxian County. He’s been pampered since he was a child. How could he not be good?” Zhu Qingqiu said.

The Flying Spirit Cave Master licked his red, tender lips with his tongue, then asked Zhu Qingqiu, "How much is this?"

"Five hundred purple coins." Zhu Qingqiu held up five fingers.

"What?!" The Flying Spirit Cave Master's eyes widened. "A mortal asking me for five hundred purple coins? Why don't you just rob me?"

Zhu Qingqiu said, "If you think it's too expensive, then don't buy it. There's no shortage of buyers for this kind of male prostitute in Xiniu Hezhou."

As she spoke, Zhu Qingqiu stepped forward, picked up Liu Yanchang, and was about to leave when the Flying Spirit Cave Master quickly stopped her, saying, "Let's discuss it some more."

“There’s no room for negotiation,” Zhu Qingqiu said. “I kidnapped this person directly in Fengxian County. Besides, doing such a thing would be against my morals, so it’s only reasonable for me to take five hundred purple coins from you.”

"Too expensive," said the Flying Spirit Cave Master. "Besides, I don't even know if he still has his vital essence. You know that a young man's vital essence is the most beneficial to us demons. Without it, his value is halved."

Zhu Qingqiu asked, "So what do you mean?"

The Flying Spirit Cave Master's eyes darted around, and he said, "Why don't you hand him over to me first, and let me test whether his primordial yang is still there? If it is, I'll give you five hundred purple coins; if not, then three hundred."

"Do you think I'm stupid?" Zhu Qingqiu drew the steel sword from his back. "I've already tested it on you, so even if you have virginity, you have to say you don't."

Seeing Zhu Qingqiu's angry glare and tense demeanor, the Flying Spirit Cave Master quickly stepped back and said, "Fellow Daoist, please calm down. Since you disagree, then so be it. Why resort to violence?"

"Shut your mother's head! I'm risking my life to do business, and you think you can mess with me? If you want this guy, just give me five hundred purple coins. If not, shut up." After saying that, Zhu Qingqiu picked Liu Yanchang up and carried him on her shoulder.

The Flying Spirit Cave Master quickly stepped forward to block Zhu Qingqiu. Zhu Qingqiu, carrying Liu Yanchang on one arm, swung her sword at the Flying Spirit Cave Master with her right hand.

Upon seeing this, the Flying Spirit Cave Master immediately dodged and jumped onto the rock wall in front of him, gripping it firmly with both hands.

Upon seeing this, Liu Yanchang's eyes widened, and he kept making whimpering sounds from his gagged mouth.

"Fellow Daoist Zhu, everything can be discussed. Even if a deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. Please put your sword away first," the Flying Spirit Cave Master said with a smile.

Zhu Qingqiu said, "I'll ask you one last time, do you want this person or not? If you don't want him, I'll sell him somewhere else. Anyway, you're not the only monster in the world that cultivates by absorbing yang energy."

"Yes, I want it," the Flying Spirit Cave Master laughed. "Of course I want it, but the five hundred purple coins..."

“Not a single one can be missing,” Zhu Qingqiu said. “I’m already on the Vedic court’s wanted list. Do you think I’m joking when I say I’d risk my life?”

"Alright, alright," the Flying Spirit Cave Master said helplessly, "Five hundred it is. You wait here, I'll go get the money."

After saying this, the Flying Spirit Cave Master jumped down from the rock wall and walked towards the depths of the cave.

Soon after, the Flying Spirit Cave Master came over carrying a cloth bag. She handed the bag to Zhu Qingqiu and said, "Take a look."

Zhu Qingqiu put down Liu Yanchang and was about to go to pick him up when suddenly a celestial light shone behind her, and then a beautiful and graceful figure walked in.

Startled by the celestial light, the Flying Spirit Cave Master retreated and hid deep within the cave.

Zhu Qingqiu turned around in surprise and saw a fairy with extraordinary beauty, dressed in a white silk robe with blue tassels, her hair tied up with hairpins and adorned with necklaces.

"What treasures do you have here? Why do they smell so good? Let me admire them!" The fairy greeted Zhu Qingqiu with a smile as soon as they met.

Zhu Qingqiu was completely bewildered. Even though the woman in front of him was such a beautiful fairy, he felt no emotion whatsoever, only displeasure at being startled. "Entering someone's cave so casually, without any manners at all."

The fairy looked slightly surprised, then quickly cupped her hands and said, "Is this your cave dwelling? I am so sorry, I was just riding a cloud to patrol the sky when I suddenly smelled a fragrance that was so refreshing that I couldn't resist coming down to take a look. Please forgive me if I have been presumptuous."

Zhu Qingqiu waved his hand and said, "This is not my cave dwelling, it is that fellow Daoist's cave dwelling." As he spoke, he pointed to the Flying Spirit Cave Master behind him.

The Flying Spirit Cave Master was startled, and when she saw the fairy's gaze, she turned and left.

The fairy raised an eyebrow and said, "Such a strong demonic aura, no, there's also a bloodthirsty aura." After saying that, the fairy's gaze swept across the cave hall in front of her and found many human bones piled up in the dark corner of the cave hall.

The fairy immediately realized what she meant and said, "You eat people?"

The Flying Spirit Cave Master had already fled towards the depths of the cave, but the fairy had no intention of letting her go. She raised her hand and grabbed, and a beam of fairy light instantly transformed into a rope that flew out and bound the Flying Spirit Cave Master in an instant.

With a gentle pull, the Flying Spirit Cave Master fell to the ground at her feet.

"Immortal, spare my life! Immortal, spare my life!" the Flying Spirit Cave Master cried out hastily as he lay on the ground.

The fairy asked in a clear voice, "Are you eating people?"

The Flying Spirit Cave Master said, "I didn't eat them. Those were all lecherous men. I just took advantage of their lust and absorbed their vital essence."

The fairy immediately understood and said, "So that means they all died because you drained their vital energy?"

“Yes,” the Flying Spirit Cave Master replied in a low voice, “But Immortal, it was they who were lustful first. If they hadn’t been lustful, I wouldn’t have drained them dry.”

The fairy's expression softened slightly, but at that moment Liu Yanchang began to sob and struggle loudly. The fairy looked at Liu Yanchang again, and then suddenly realized, "What's wrong with him? Don't tell me he tied the ropes on himself."

“No, that’s not it.” The Flying Spirit Cave Master pointed directly at Zhu Qingqiu and said, “He captured this person. He specializes in capturing young men and selling them to monsters for money.”

The fairy turned her gaze to Zhu Qingqiu and asked, "Is what she said true?"

Zhu Qingqiu said, "Who are you? Why do you interfere in my business?"

The fairy said calmly, "Everyone calls me the Third Holy Mother, the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua."

Upon hearing this name, the Flying Spirit Cave Master on the ground trembled all over, lying prostrate on the ground, not daring to even breathe.

Zhu Qingqiu's expression also changed, but he took two steps back and said, "So it is the Third Holy Mother. I have heard so much about you. If the Third Holy Mother likes this, then this person is for her. Farewell."

After saying that, Zhu Qingqiu turned and walked out of the cave. Seeing this, the Third Holy Mother struck out with her palm. In an instant, the immortal light flashed and the palm wind tore through the air. With a 'bang', Zhu Qingqiu was sent flying and crashed heavily to the ground face down.

"You think you can run away after doing something bad?" The Third Holy Mother sneered.

Zhu Qingqiu turned around from the ground, covered in dust, and threw the green steel sword in her hand at the Third Holy Mother.

The steel sword pierced through the air and instantly reached the Third Holy Mother.

The Third Holy Mother let out a soft hum, and with a flick of her sword finger, another beam of immortal light swirled up. Then, the green steel sword changed direction and flew straight toward Zhu Qingqiu.

Seeing this, Zhu Qingqiu hurriedly dodged, but the steel sword pierced through Zhu Qingqiu's left thigh with a 'thud' in an instant.

Zhu Qingqiu cried out in pain, quickly biting her middle finger until it bled, then flung it through the air, shouting, "Ten Thousand Miles of Wind!"

In an instant, a strong wind swept across the cave, and Zhu Qingqiu was lifted up by the wind. Then the wind howled out of the cave and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Zhu Qingqiu escape, the Third Holy Mother wanted to chase after her, but when she saw that Liu Yanchang was still there, she gave up the idea.

The Third Holy Mother first untied Liu Yanchang from his restraints. Liu Yanchang quickly stood up, removed the silk gag from his mouth, straightened his clothes, and then stepped forward to bow, saying, "I am Liu Yanchang, and I thank the fairy for saving my life."

At the same time, a delicate fragrance wafted over from Liu Yanchang, a fragrance so enchanting that it caused the Third Holy Mother to momentarily lose her composure.

A moment later, the Third Holy Mother suddenly woke up and quickly asked, "What is this fragrance?" "Fragrance?" Liu Yanchang was stunned, then quickly asked, "What fragrance are you talking about, Fairy?"

The Third Holy Mother said, "I just asked what this fragrance is. Can't you smell it?"

Upon hearing the Third Holy Mother say "you," the Flying Spirit Cave Master on the ground quickly replied, "Your Majesty, this humble demon has not smelled any fragrance at all, but the celestial fragrance emanating from Your Majesty is utterly intoxicating."

The Third Holy Mother frowned. Suddenly, she realized that the fragrance seemed to be coming from Liu Yanchang, so she quickly looked at him.

She hadn't looked closely before, but now that she did, she was astonished to find that Liu Yanchang was actually a handsome and dashing young man. In particular, his handsome and resolute appearance was exactly what the Third Holy Mother wanted.

In addition, the occasional faint fragrance further enhanced the Third Holy Mother's goodwill towards Liu Yanchang to the extreme.

"This fragrance seems to be coming from you?" the Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms said.

Liu Yanchang was taken aback at first, then suddenly remembered and said, "Could it be this?"

As he spoke, he took off the Xiuyan jade sachet from his waist and handed it to the Third Holy Mother, saying, "Fairy, is this it?"

The Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms took the Xiuyan jade sachet with a curious look, and the intoxicating fragrance immediately wafted towards her.

The Holy Mother was instantly captivated. She took a deep breath and said, "This is the fragrance."

After a moment, the Third Holy Mother came to her senses and asked Liu Yanchang, "How was this sachet made? I have never smelled such an intoxicating fragrance before."

Liu Yanchang smiled and said, "This sachet was not made by me. It was given to me by a wise man when I was young. Strangely enough, ever since I started wearing this sachet, I have been free from all diseases. People around me say that it is a blessing from a deity."

"I see." The Third Holy Mother nodded slightly.

Seeing the expression on the Third Holy Mother's face, Liu Yanchang immediately cupped his hands and said, "I am deeply grateful to the fairy for saving my life today. I have no way to repay her. If the fairy does not mind, I will give her this sachet. I hope that the fairy will be free from illness and disaster and live a long and happy life."

The Third Holy Mother's heart stirred, and when she looked up, she saw Liu Yanchang's clear and sincere eyes. In that instant, the Third Holy Mother felt a strange sense of panic, her face flushed slightly, her heart raced, and her heart pounded wildly.

"This is a blessing bestowed upon you by the gods, but I cannot take away someone else's love." For the first time, the Third Holy Mother revealed her girlish side and handed the sachet back.

Liu Yanchang quickly glanced at the Third Holy Mother's expression, then hurriedly pushed the sachet back, saying sincerely, "Fairy, you flatter me. You saved my life, and this sachet is of little use to me; it's just an ornament. But you, being high above the clouds, have come following this fragrance. Isn't this fate? Since fate has brought us here, please don't refuse."

Seeing Liu Yanchang's sincerity and the subtle element of 'fate' in his words, the Third Holy Mother was delighted and no longer refused. She said gently, "Alright, then I'll accept this sachet, and the debt of saving my life will be wiped clean."

Liu Yanchang was overjoyed and quickly bowed, saying, "The sachet is a small matter, but the life-saving grace is a great one. I will repay the fairy's kindness in the future."

The Holy Mother smiled slightly and asked, "Where do you live? Shall I take you home?"

Liu Yanchang wanted to refuse, but then he thought that if this fairy escorted him home, wouldn't he have a perfect excuse to invite her to dinner?

So Liu Yanchang bowed again and said, "My home is in the city of Fengxian County, so I will trouble you, Fairy."

The Third Holy Mother nodded slightly, then asked Liu Yanchang to wait a moment before turning her gaze to the Flying Spirit Cave Master on the ground. "You said those people were blinded by lust, and I'll believe you for now. I'll spare your life today, but you must never harm or kill anyone again. Do good deeds and cultivate diligently, understand?"

Upon hearing that he was still alive, the Flying Spirit Cave Master was overjoyed and burst into tears. He quickly bowed and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Holy Mother! Thank you, Holy Mother! This little demon will remember this. This little demon will definitely devote himself to cultivation from now on and will never do bad things again."

"Well, that's good." The Third Holy Mother nodded, then stepped onto the clouds and took Liu Yanchang with her. In a short while, they flew out of the Flying Spirit Cave and headed towards Fengxian County.

At the same time, Zhu Qingqiu was swept away by the gale for more than two thousand miles, then his magic power was exhausted midway, the wind dispersed and he was revealed, falling directly from the sky.

Just then, two Taoist priests were cooking meat in a pot in the wild when suddenly a person descended from the sky. With a loud bang, smoke and dust flew up and filled the sky.

"Pot! Pot!" Master Qianhe exclaimed in alarm as he looked at the iron pot that had been smashed into more than a dozen pieces.

Looking at the scattered venison, Master Four Eyes said with a pained expression, "My meat!"

After saying this, Master Simu was furious and rushed forward to see who was so bold as to smash his pot.

After smashing the iron pot, Zhu Qingqiu fell directly into the fire, immediately crying and screaming, while patting the embers and scalding broth off her body.

Master Simu and Master Qianhe rushed forward and saw a young cultivator whose left thigh had been pierced by a sword. They were stunned at first, but their anger quickly dissipated.

It turns out it was injured and fell from the sky; it didn't intentionally try to smash their pot.

The two quickly stepped forward and pulled Zhu Qingqiu out of the fire, brushing the fire dust off his body as they did so.

After settling down, Zhu Qingqiu hissed in pain, then looked at Qianhe and Simu, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you both, fellow Daoists."

After saying that, he noticed the broken iron pot and chunks of meat scattered on the ground, and said with a look of shame, "My two fellow Daoists, I didn't mean to."

“Hey, fellow Daoist, there’s no need for that,” said Daoist Qianhe. “If the iron pot is broken, just buy a new one. How did you get injured, fellow Daoist?”

Zhu Qingqiu said, "Alas, I've encountered a master; it's better not to say anything more."

What should I say? I can't exactly say I was caught red-handed while trafficking people, can I?
Master Qianhe didn't ask any further questions, but simply nodded and said, "I understand, I understand."

Master Four Eyes looked at Zhu Qingqiu and suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, you have been injured by a sword, fell from the sky, been burned, and scalded. These are not ordinary omens. They seem more like retribution. I wonder if you have done something wicked?"

Upon hearing this, Master Qianhe immediately said, "Brother Simu, why are you saying these things?"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Qingqiu made no attempt to hide his feelings and said directly, "Alas, to be honest with you two, I have indeed done some wrong things recently, and this should be my retribution."

"See, I told you so," Master Four Eyes said calmly.

Master Qianhe shook his head helplessly, then said to Zhu Qingqiu, "My senior brother is a bit blunt, fellow Daoist, please don't take it to heart. Come, let me treat your wound."

After saying that, Daoist Qianhe pulled the green steel sword directly out from Zhu Qingqiu's thigh.

As the steel sword was pulled out, a spurt of hot blood gushed out from between Zhu Qingqiu's thigh bones with a "plop," and then flowed profusely, instantly staining the ground red.

"Ah!!!" Zhu Qingqiu screamed in agony, which echoed through the mountains and fields. Then she rolled on the ground in pain.

Seeing the blood flowing freely, Master Qianhe panicked and quickly used his magic to stop the bleeding for Zhu Qingqiu.

However, Zhu Qingqiu's bleeding occurred along the meridians and blood vessels within the thigh bone, and since the magic only applied to the outside of the wound, it naturally could not stop the bleeding.

Soon Zhu Qingqiu began to convulse, and her face visibly turned pale.

Seeing this, Master Simu immediately pushed Master Qianhe aside, saying, "Is this how you heal? Let me do it. Let me teach you how to stop the bleeding the fastest. Watch carefully."

After saying that, Master Four Eyes picked up the green steel sword, made a hand seal, and cast a spell. Suddenly, he spat out a stream of spiritual fire, which turned the sword red-hot. Then he stabbed it into the wound on Zhu Qingqiu's thigh.

With a hiss, a plume of smoke rose, and the aroma of meat filled the air. Zhu Qingqiu's face contorted in agony, and she let out a bloodcurdling scream before dying from the pain.

A moment later, Master Four Eyes pulled out his long sword, and the wound indeed stopped bleeding. However, the sword was covered with some burnt meat bits and blood clots.

"It smells so good," said Master Four Eyes, sniffing the air.

Master Qianhe stared at Master Simu in shock, his eyes looking as if he were looking at a ghost.

"What's wrong?" Master Four Eyes asked in surprise, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Master Qianhe said, "If I get injured in the future, just let me die. Please don't save me. I beg you."
