Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1546: The New Immortal of the Garden
Since he couldn’t return to the original Imperial Stables, Haotian couldn’t think of where to place the Monkey King’s Palace.

There is no place for the monkey to live, so we can’t let it sleep on the street, right?
At this time, Dong Shuangquan, who was previously under the command of the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool and was given the title of "Fairy of the Western Pool" during the reign of Phoenix, slowly stepped out.

During the Haotian period, he consciously suppressed the power of the Queen Mother of the West, and there were almost no female fairies present at court meetings.

During the Jade Emperor's reign, he promoted many female fairies, most of whom were from the Yaochi line. At this time, they were all in the Lingxiao Palace.

The large number of marshals and gods appointed by Haotian before gave Fenghuang a headache. It took her a lot of energy to arrange these immortals with high positions and low ranks.

It is easy to get promoted but difficult to get demoted. If you dare to demote someone, he will rebel against you. It will be useless even if you are wiser than Yao, Shun, Yu and Tang combined.

Haotian is now also facing this problem. The female fairies of the Yaochi series headed by Dong Shuangquan can only ascend but not descend.

If he dared to say something like "You can continue as usual, go back to Yaochi to sing and dance, and don't get involved in government affairs", Dong Shuangquan and the others would immediately rebel. Heaven can't tolerate us sisters, so we go to the Jade Emperor!
Haotian didn't know when the Queen Mother of the West would come back, and he didn't want to make the relationship so ugly, so he could only recognize the political status of these female fairies.

He looked at Dong Shuangquan with a smile on his face.

Just go ahead and talk, I'm listening.

Dong Shuangquan said sternly, "Your Majesty, there is still some vacant land outside the Peach Garden. I think the Great Sage Equaling Heaven Palace can be built outside the Peach Garden."

There are 3600 peach trees in the Pantao Garden. Anyone who has planted trees should know that a fairly large area is needed to accommodate so many trees.

The area is so large that a land god is needed to assist in management.

The Pantao Garden is very large, and the area surrounding it is even larger.

Theoretically, there is indeed vacant land to build the Monkey King's Palace.

Haotian had a strange expression on his face. "Placing a monkey next to the Peach Garden? Are you hiding something from me in your Peach Garden?"

To outsiders, Pantao Garden is just a garden, but to the couple, it is a taboo that cannot be discussed.

Guarding the Peach Garden is the last bottom line of the Queen Mother of the West. I agree that you want to hold power, and I can tolerate your request that my female officials not leave the West. But you, Haotian, must never extend your hand to the Peach Garden. Once he crosses the line, not to mention the relationship between husband and wife, even the relationship between brothers and sisters will be gone.

Now Haotian desperately needs the support of Queen Mother of the West. Seeing that the female fairies had no doubts about Dong Shuangquan's words, he knew that this was their unanimous opinion.

He didn't dare to think or ask.

He could directly reject Li Jing's suggestion, but he could not refuse Dong Shuangquan, as these female fairies were still in a state where he could be won over.

"What you say makes sense, so I'll do as you say."

The first attack on Huaguo Mountain by the heavenly soldiers and generals that would have happened in the original time and space was denied by Haotian.

Prestige and credit are things that are invisible and intangible, but if they are consumed a little at a time, then the entire foundation of the rule will be shaken.

Haotian's already limited prestige was further depleted. After the court meeting, the ministers were full of discussion, all of them feeling that he was too weak. "You're bringing up the Jade Emperor? During his time as Jade Emperor, he was just an ordinary monkey. Now he's first served as the Horse Keeper, then rebelled against the Heavenly Court and proclaimed himself the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. And now you're just acknowledging him? How truly weak!"
Taibai Jinxing came to Huaguo Mountain for the second time.

Upon hearing that Haotian had forgiven his reckless behavior, the now arrogant Sun Wukong bowed towards the Heavenly Palace in a very rare manner, thanking Haotian for his magnanimity. He also said a lot of compliments and was extremely satisfied with the Supreme Being of the Three Realms.

He didn't want to fight if he could avoid it. The monkeys looked numerous, and if a war broke out, the casualties would be horrific. It was fine now. Haotian gave him face; he, Old Sun, wasn't an ungrateful monkey.

Sun Wukong once again followed Taibai Jinxing to the Heavenly Palace. Haotian didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so he kept the inauguration ceremony simple.

The Monkey King has two departments under his command: the Department of Tranquility and the Department of Peace of Mind. Just by listening to the names, you can tell who they want to be quiet and who they want to be peaceful.

Under the Second Division were immortal officials responsible for the daily operations of the mansion. They were essentially monitoring Sun Wukong. Haotian required them to report three times a day and keep a close eye on this monkey.

Haotian also gave Sun Wukong two bottles of imperial wine and ten golden flowers, asking him to stay quiet and not cause trouble.

Haotian is not rich now, and giving him two bottles of wine and ten flowers is the limit. It’s not that he can’t give more, but it’s not worth it.

Sun Wukong didn't mind this, so he took it and, wearing the golden flower, toured the Great Sage Palace, which was still under construction, like a primary school student.

The first thing he saw was the Peach Garden next to his mansion. It was so damn close, just outside the door. He could smell the fragrance of peaches while standing at the door.

He scratched his head for a while, feeling that he could not let Haotian down, and used great perseverance to resist the temptation of the peaches.

It was not a good idea to carry it with willpower all the time. Since the mansion had not been built yet, he chose to stay away from it.

What did he do during this time? He spent his free time "visiting palaces with friends, forging friendships and forming sworn brothers. One day he traveled east, the next he wandered west, his whereabouts uncertain."

He really made a lot of friends, but he never even set foot in the Peach Garden, which was just a stone's throw away from his home.

Dong Shuangquan came down to earth to find Long Ji and told him about the various matters that had happened after the new Monkey King took office.

The account with the underworld has been settled, but the account with the Peach Garden has not yet been settled.

I originally wanted to ask the monkey to help me settle the debt, but I didn't expect that this guy really wanted to work hard in heaven and build a career. I was obviously tempted, but I could hold myself back every time.

The same was true of the previous Bi Ma Wen. Before he broke with the Heavenly Court, Sun Wukong could definitely be described as serious and responsible. His moral integrity was much better than Lao Zhu, Lao Sha and others. Lao Zhu would do his best to eat and take as much as possible within the bottom line of Phoenix's tolerance. If Phoenix hadn't cared about the old friendship, he would have thrown this guy into the Heavenly Prison long ago. Lao Sha was actually not that honest either, it was just that he had a low position and didn't have many opportunities to take advantage of others.

Dong Shuangquan said, "That monkey looked cunning, but he turned out to be surprisingly honest. Princess, what should we do?"

Long Ji asked, "Not a single peach was touched?"

Dong Shuangquan shook his head. "We were all watching, but he didn't even enter the door. The Earth God didn't notice any signs of him using magic to enter the garden."

The Earth God may look inconspicuous, but in fact, as long as you enter the Peach Garden, nothing can be hidden from him. Now it seems that Monkey King really did not enter the Peach Garden.

Long Ji comforted Dong Shuangquan and went to discuss with Fenghuang.

This account must be settled, there is nothing to say.

The Phoenix said, "Well, he can resist temptation, right? Since you're coming with me to control the flood, let the monkey look after the Peach Garden!"

　There are only two more updates. I really don’t have time to write today.
