I am a fairy in Journey to the West

As Murugan knocked on the door, the Heavenly Fox Cave opened quickly, and then a young man and a young woman walked out of the cave.

Upon seeing Mulugan, the two young men immediately bowed and greeted him, "Are you the Immortal Mulugan?"

Murugan looked at the man and woman in front of him and asked, "Who are you?"

The young woman on the left smiled and said, "Reporting to the Immortal, I am Yunhu Mei, the granddaughter of the Celestial Fox Immortal, and he is my husband, Brother Xu Wu."

Upon hearing this, Murugan quickly returned the greeting with a smile and said, "Your grandmother and I are good friends. I've encountered some trouble today and have come to ask for your help."

Upon hearing this, Yunhu Mei glanced at Liu Yanchang and his son behind Mulugan, and then quickly joined Xu Wu Ge in inviting Mulugan and the others into the cave.

Mulugan led Liu Yanchang and his son, along with Xu Wuge and Yunhumei, into the Heavenly Fox Cave.

The group soon arrived at the main hall of the Heavenly Fox Cave, where a woman of about fifty or sixty years old, dressed in a moon-scented brocade robe, came to greet them.

"Fellow Daoist Mulugan, it's been a long time since you've come to see me," the old woman said with a smile as she approached Mulugan.

Murugan bowed respectfully, then said with a smile, "I'm just too busy with religious affairs to visit you, fellow Daoist."

The old woman was none other than the 'Heavenly Fox Immortal'. Her gaze swept over Liu Yanchang and his son behind Mulugan, and then she asked, "Who is this?"

Mulugan quickly began the introductions, and after introducing Liu Yanchang, he introduced the Celestial Fox Immortal to Liu Yanchang.

Liu Yanchang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the Heavenly Fox Immortal. Then Liu Chenxiang burst into tears again, unable to stop.

Liu Yanchang was utterly embarrassed and could only apologize repeatedly: "Immortal, please forgive me, I was truly rude, but this child has been hungry all day."

Upon hearing this, the Celestial Fox Immortal first looked at Liu Chenxiang, then turned his head and called out, "Fox Sister."

The Cloud Fox Girl quickly stepped forward and said, "Grandmother, your granddaughter is here."

The Celestial Fox Immortal asked, "Do you still have breast milk? Feed this child some."

Yunhu Mei blushed, and Liu Yanchang immediately lowered his head. Then Yunhu Mei nodded, "Yes."

The Celestial Fox then said to Liu Yanchang, "Young Master Liu, hand your son over to Fox Sister and let her take him to the back hall to nurse him."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanchang immediately looked at Mulugan, who said, "This is your son, why are you looking at me?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yanchang quickly handed Liu Chenxiang to Yunhu Mei and stammered, "Thank you, thank you."

Yunhu Mei smiled and said, "You're welcome." After saying that, she carried Liu Chenxiang to the back cave hall.

Then the Celestial Fox Immortal asked Mulugan, "Fellow Daoist said you came to seek refuge in times of trouble, what is the story behind this?"

Mulugan said, "Fellow Daoist Tianhu, may I have a word with you in private?"

The Celestial Fox Immortal nodded and said, "Please follow me."

Then he instructed the fox demon maids in the cave, "You all stay here and treat this young master Liu well."

The maids responded in unison. After the Heavenly Fox Immortal left, they arranged for Liu Yanchang to sit down, and Xu Wuge, the husband of the Cloud Fox Sister, also sat down beside him.

At this moment, Brother Xu, holding a baby, approached Liu Yanchang and asked, "Brother Liu, how long ago was your son born?"

Liu Yanchang quickly replied, "Exactly half a month."

Upon hearing this, Brother Xu Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Just like my daughter, my daughter is also exactly half a month old."

Liu Yanchang was also astonished and asked, "So they were born on the same day?"

"Isn't that right? What a coincidence!" At this point, Brother Xu asked again, "What's your son's name?"

Liu Yanchang said, "His name is Chenxiang." "Chenxiang, that's a nice name. Brother Liu, you're clearly a cultured person. Cultured people choose names differently," Xu Wuge exclaimed.

Liu Yanchang shook his head and smiled, then asked Xu Wuge, "What's your daughter's name?"

Xu Wuge said, "Her name is Xiaoyu, which was given to her by her mother."

"Xiaoyu, that's a nice name. Your wife is also a talented person," Liu Yanchang praised.

Xu Wuge's face immediately lit up with a proud smile, and he said, "Of course, my wife is much better at writing than I am."

At this point, Xu Wuge couldn't help but ask curiously, "By the way, where is your wife?"

Liu Yanchang's face immediately fell.
Meanwhile, in a nearby cave, after listening to Mulugan's account, the Heavenly Fox Immortal suddenly realized, "You want me to help you cover things up?"

Mulugan nodded and said, "Fellow Daoist is proficient in illusion techniques, so I would like to ask you to protect me for a few days. Once I have recovered my strength, I will take Liu Yanchang and his son away."

The Celestial Fox Immortal laughed and said, "It's alright. Not to mention my amazing illusions, even without these illusions, I could still hold off the Grand Commandant Zhechong if he came."

“Hey, you can’t say that,” Mulugan said. “I don’t doubt your strength, but you don’t need to get into trouble for this. The power of the Dust Realm Jade Palace is too great. It’s best not to offend them.”

The Celestial Fox Immortal nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your kind offer, Fellow Daoist Mulugan. I am well aware of your intentions."

After saying that, the Celestial Fox Immortal immediately performed a spell, using the 'Five Bewildering Three Paths' illusion technique to completely conceal the mountain peak where his Celestial Fox Cave was located.

After doing all this, the Celestial Fox Immortal said to Mulugan, "Alright, Fellow Daoist, you can now rest and recover in peace. With me here, you can rest easy."

"Alright." Mulugan stood up and bowed, saying, "Then thank you very much, Fellow Daoist Tianhu."

The Celestial Fox Immortal laughed heartily, then waved his hand and said, "Fellow Daoist Mulugan, there's no need to be so formal. I'll arrange a cave for you to rest in right away."

Murugan smiled and nodded, "Okay."

Chi Ling, along with Bi Huo, Bi Zhen, and Tian Wu, searched the entire mountain range but found no trace of Mu Lugan and Liu Yanchang.

But they didn't know that they had already circled the mountain where the Heavenly Fox Cave was located several times.

Because of the illusion spell "Five Confusions and Three Paths," the four members of the group, including Chi Ling, were completely unaware that they had just been circling around the mountain peak, simply because there were just too many mountains here.

“They are hiding in these mountains,” Chi Ling said, “but for some reason, we can’t find any trace of them.”

General Bi Huo said, "Grand Commandant, is there some kind of immortal cave or abode in these mountains? Did Mu Lugan take Liu Yanchang and his son to hide in a cave or abode?"

Chi Ling said, "Very likely."

At this point, she immediately asked, "Who are the mountain gods and local deities here? Summon them quickly."

General Bi Zhen cast a spell to summon the mountain god and the land god, but after casting it, he replied with a look of surprise: "Grand Commandant, there are no mountain gods or land gods within a radius of five hundred li."

"Oh?" Akaya was quite surprised. "You didn't get one?"

At this moment, General Tianwu said, "Grand Commandant, with just a few of us, I'm afraid we'll never find them. Why don't we summon the Giant Spirit God and the Six Sages of Meishan and search together? I don't believe we won't find their trail. Besides, we've already confirmed that Liu Yanchang and his son are here, so there's no need for them to search separately."

“That’s right,” General Bi Huo added. “Even if there really are some immortal mountains or caves, a large group of people can find them quickly.”

Chi Ling nodded and said, "You are all right. I will call them all over right away."

After saying that, Chi Ling immediately took out the Heavenly Profound Jade Talisman and began to summon all the scattered generals of Zhechong Prefecture and the Six Saints of Meishan to gather here.

While everyone was rushing towards them, Chi Ling, along with Generals Bi Huo, Bi Zhen, and Tian Wu, were closely patrolling the mountains and setting up various talismans and incantations to seal off the area, preventing Mu Lugan from secretly escaping with Liu Chenxiang and his son.
