I am a fairy in Journey to the West

Fengxian County, Liu Mansion.

On the night of the new soul, Liu Yanchang looked excitedly at the stunningly beautiful Third Holy Mother dressed in a phoenix coronet and wedding gown, and was filled with immense happiness.

"I can't believe it! The legendary goddess, the Third Holy Mother of Mount Hua, has become my wife!" Liu Yanchang said, looking at the Third Holy Mother with a dazed expression. "I wonder what great good deed I did in my past life to have such good fortune."

The Third Holy Mother looked shy, her beautiful face lowered, and hesitated for a long time before finally calling out, "Husband."

Upon hearing the word "husband," Liu Yanchang felt his bones melt. He quickly stepped forward, sat down next to the Third Holy Mother, and hugged her tightly, saying, "Wife."

"Mmm," the Third Holy Mother responded sweetly.

Liu Yanchang hugged her even tighter, and their breathing became increasingly rapid. But just then, a golden light suddenly caught the attention of the Holy Mother of the Three Realms.

"Huh?" The Third Holy Mother suddenly looked up and asked, looking at a candlestick on a table not far away, "What's that?"

Liu Yanchang was taken aback upon hearing this, then turned his head to look at her, and then laughed and said, "Wife, how come you don't even recognize a candlestick?"

"Where did this candlestick come from?" the Third Holy Mother asked hurriedly.

Liu Yanchang smiled and said, "My mother instructed someone to send it over. She said that a deity disguised as a monk came to congratulate us during the day and bestowed this golden candlestick upon us, which can ensure our peace and happiness."

Upon hearing this, the Holy Mother of the Three Kingdoms immediately got up and walked to the golden candlestick for a closer look. When she saw the golden lotus flowers below the candlestick, her gaze sharpened.

Because in her eyes, those golden lotuses were covered with scriptures, the Third Holy Mother read them only once and said, "This is the 'Cundi Dharani Sutra'."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Liu Yanchang walked over and glanced at the golden lotus, but couldn't see anything.

"Are there any words on this?" Liu Yanchang asked, puzzled.

The Third Holy Mother smiled and said, "The words are subtle and the meaning is profound; you cannot see them." At this point, the Third Holy Mother asked Liu Yanchang about the details of what had happened during the day. After Liu Yanchang told the Third Holy Mother what he had heard, the Third Holy Mother immediately said with certainty, "That monk must be an incarnation of the Bodhisattva Cundi."

"Cundi Bodhisattva? Why would she send us candlesticks?" Liu Yanchang asked in confusion.

The Holy Mother of the Three Realms laughed and said, "My father is the Great Emperor of the Western Mountain. There is no god or Buddha in the sky that he does not know. Since Bodhisattva Zhunti has come to deliver the lotus platform, she must have owed my father a favor before."

"I see." Liu Yanchang nodded.

Then the Holy Mother took a candle, placed it on the golden candlestick, and lit it. As the candlelight shone, dense scriptures suddenly appeared on the entire golden candlestick.

"I saw it! There really are scriptures!" Liu Yanchang exclaimed.

The next moment, the scriptures flew into the sky, intertwined, and became a golden net. It flew out of the bridal chamber, over the entire Liu mansion, and then fell down to cover the whole mansion.

Then, the golden candlestick returned to normal, and there was nothing special about it anymore.

However, the Holy Mother of the Three Realms did sense that after the golden net covered the Liu residence, the secrets of heaven within the Liu residence were confined within it and no longer revealed.

The Third Holy Mother seemed to understand, and bowed deeply to the candlestick, saying, "Thank you, Bodhisattva Cundi."

Liu Yanchang then took the Third Holy Mother back to the bedside, and what happened next is not for outsiders to know.

The Ant-Leech Immortal sat in the dojo, his face full of shock. "The four immortals were actually ambushed by the Eight Great Kings and have already perished."

The disciples below were terrified upon hearing this.

Just then, a beam of celestial light descended from the sky and landed in the ant-leech immortal's dojo. When the light dissipated, two figures appeared in front of the ant-leech immortal.

The Ant-Leech Immortal looked up and then quickly stood up to greet them: "Immortal Mulugan, Immortal Friends."

Murugan is the son of Shiva, the primordial being of birth and death, and his spiritual cultivation is extremely powerful.

The Sage of Friends is a paragon of Brahmanism, a model of someone who rose from Kshatriya to Brahman. “The Primordial Ancestor already knew of the fall of the four sages, so he sent me and the Sage of Friends to oversee the affairs of North India,” Murugan said, his hands clasped together.

Upon hearing this, the Ant-Leech Immortal breathed a sigh of relief. The sudden fall of the four immortals had greatly increased the pressure on him.

Now that Murugan has come to take charge, he can rest assured.

Then the Ant-Leech Immortal invited Murugan to take a seat, while he and the other Immortal Friends sat on either side of him.

After they were seated, Mulugan said, "This time, the four immortals rashly pursued Zhunti and fell into the ambush of the Eight Great Vidyarajas, resulting in their deaths and the dissipation of their spiritual energy. It was truly regrettable."

The Ant-Leech Immortal said, "I also bear responsibility for this. When we learned that Zhunti had entered Fengxian County alone, we all thought it was a good opportunity to kill him, but we didn't expect..."

Mulugan interrupted the leech immortal and said, "Let bygones be bygones. What we need to figure out now is what exactly that candlestick Zhunti risked so much to give to Master Liu? Why did she do that? What's so special about Master Liu's son and daughter-in-law? We need to investigate this matter as soon as possible."

The Ant-Leech Immortal nodded and said, "I will give the order right away."

Just a few days later, the Ant-Leech Immortal reported to Mulugan: "The candlestick that Zhunti gave to Master Liu that day should be a magic treasure. On the night of Liu Yanchang's wedding, someone saw a golden light flash above the Liu mansion, which should be due to that candlestick. Secondly, Liu Yanchang's wife, Ji Nuhua, has an extremely mysterious background. Who are her parents? Where does she live? Even Master Liu and his wife don't know these things, and the people we sent to investigate have no clue either. Ji Nuhua seems to have appeared suddenly."

“It’s impossible for someone to have no background.” Murugan said, “There must be something fishy about this. Sometimes, people whose backgrounds you can’t tell are the ones with great backgrounds.”

The Ant-Leech Immortal said, "The people below have limited abilities, and I'm afraid they won't be able to find any useful information even if they investigate further."

Upon hearing this, Mulugan fell silent for a moment, while the Immortal Friends laughed and said, "Why don't I go to the Liu residence myself?"

Mulugan raised his head and looked at the assembled immortals, asking, "Fellow Daoists, are you confident?"

The immortal friend laughed and said, "As long as it's not the Eight Great Kings lying in ambush there, I have nothing to fear."

Mulugan smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. Apart from us, there are no other sacred auras in Fengxian County. Even if something happens, the Yaksha King and the Asura King are not far away and can provide support at any time."

“Alright,” said the immortal friend, “then I’ll go now.”

After saying this, the immortal friends rose to take their leave, flew out of the dojo, and headed straight down towards the Liu residence.

Not long after, in the Liu residence, a servant suddenly straightened up and looked around.

When he looked up at the sky above the Liu residence, he saw that there was indeed a faint golden divine net covering the entire Liu residence.

"It's not a barrier, nor an array or restriction, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get in so easily," the servant muttered to himself.

It turned out that the immortals had possessed the servant. Then he took a step and walked straight to the courtyard where Liu Yanchang and the Third Holy Mother lived.

As he walked along, the servants of the Liu family seemed to ignore him, turning a blind eye to all his actions.

The immortals entered the courtyard and went straight into Liu Yanchang and the Third Holy Mother's new room. Finally, they saw the golden candlestick on the table in the corner of the new room.

The immortal friends immediately stepped forward and examined it carefully, but apart from the scriptures engraved on the golden flower, they could not see anything else.

After a moment's thought, the immortal friend raised his hand and grabbed the candlestick. The next moment, the candlestick flashed with golden light, and the immortal friend immediately knew something was wrong.

The moment he touched the candlestick, he felt that his presence had been exposed.

Sure enough, just three breaths later, a beam of celestial light appeared directly in the bridal chamber. When the immortals turned around, they saw a beautiful and charming fairy.

"What are you doing?" The Third Holy Mother stared coldly at the servant in front of her with her jade eyes, but when she saw the candlestick in the servant's hand, her tone became even colder: "Who are you? Possessing my servant and appearing here, what is your purpose?"

With that, the Third Holy Mother summoned the Lotus Lantern. (End of Chapter)
