Chapter 296, The Heavenly Emperor Reincarnates, Second Princess: You're Hurting Me (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Who...who are you?"

The second princess was startled by Zhang Kuang's sudden appearance. Her orange fairy robes billowed backward, and she flew backward as well. She stood at a distance, looking at Zhang Kuang in shock. She hadn't even felt him when he appeared behind the door!
Despite her fear, the already strong-willed second princess's power had greatly increased, along with her courage. After uttering a question, she immediately twisted the gem-encrusted bracelet on her wrist, and an orange-yellow aura of magic instantly enveloped her like a thin mist, boosting her confidence and making her speak with more composure.
"I am the Second Princess of the Heavenly Court. Where did you come from, cultivator? Quickly state your name! Otherwise, you will suffer some physical pain after I take action!"

Zhang Kuang's gaze swept over her, and seeing that what she said didn't seem fake, and that her serious expression made it seem like she really wanted to fight him, he immediately laughed out loud, leaned against the door frame, nodded at her, and said with a smile, "Come on, give it a try."

He was in a good mood at the moment and couldn't be bothered to figure out whether the woman was just being naive or had become arrogant due to her increased power; in any case, the solution to both problems was quite the same.

Just give it a good beating!

"...How dare you treat me like this... You deserve to be punished!"

The second princess was furious when she saw Zhang Kuang's arrogant and talented challenge. Her cheeks flushed red, and she stopped in her tracks. She waved her fingers, arms, and upper body as if dancing, and mobilized her magic power to pierce Zhang Kuang from afar like a javelin.

"That's it?"

Zhang Kuang stared at the magical beam that moved as slowly as a balloon, its head flashing with dazzling fireworks, and a sneer curled his lip, his smile growing even more mocking. "Are you dancing to please me? Whew—"

Zhang Kuang didn't inhale, but exhaled a level eight gale. The wind swept away the magical beam that the Second Princess had pointed out in an instant, extinguishing the small firework. Its momentum didn't diminish, and it continued to blow wildly towards the Second Princess.

Jingle Bell--

The bracelet swayed.

slam-la-

Her sleeves fluttered, revealing slender, snow-white arms that resembled jade lotus roots.

Her skirt billowed, and her soft, straight-leg trousers clung to her legs, revealing long, straight legs and orange embroidered shoes. Her small feet, no bigger than the palm of her hand, were forced back by the strong wind.

Strangely, the golden path that the second princess had stepped on did not extend; instead, it retracted, causing the second princess to fall straight down. She immediately felt weightlessness and a push against her back as she began to fall.

"what--!!!"

Even with her strong personality, the second princess was so frightened that her mind went blank. She forgot that she had magical powers and simply waved her arms in an attempt to climb up, forgetting to use her magic to perform the cloud-riding technique.

"This is really..."

Zhang Kuang was speechless at the sight. With a light step, a golden light slid down in an instant, opening like a giant hand, lifting the Second Princess into its palm, raising it against the wind, and tossing it down in front of Zhang Kuang.

The second princess was completely unaware of what was happening until she was thrown to her bottom. Tears welled up in her eyes as she opened them, and she braced herself on the ground with her hands. Only when she felt solid ground did she breathe a sigh of relief and thank Zhang Kuang, saying, "Thank you."

Zhang Kuang chuckled speechlessly, "Are you really the second princess of Heaven?"

"The real deal." The second princess didn't understand Zhang Kuang's meaning, assuming he was questioning her identity. She curled up, crossed her left arm over her leg, and swung her right hand, displaying her bracelet. "This is my identification. It's a magical artifact made exclusively for us sisters when the Heavenly Emperor was still alive." "..."

Zhang Kuang felt increasingly speechless. He thought that even if he sold that brain of his, he would still be grateful for the money. So he sighed and said, "What I mean is, you seem to have forgotten that you are a fairy who can fly. Isn't that your instinct?"

The second princess blushed immediately and whispered, "I...I forgot."

Her usual strong personality now revealed a unique charm when she became shy, but Zhang Kuang was too lazy to appreciate it, and said with a smirk:
"You can even forget this? It seems your Heavenly Court isn't a very respectable place. I imagine you don't have many experts. No wonder there are so many monsters in the mortal realm."

The second princess glared and said, "How could that be! The Heavenly Court is full of experts, such as the Barefoot Immortal, Li Jing the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, and the Eastern Emperor... they are all capable people!"

Zhang Kuang stared at the Second Princess, who glared back defiantly. However, neither of them spoke for a long time, which made the atmosphere somewhat awkward, and the Second Princess's rosy cheeks turned even redder.

"You're blushing like a teapot!"

Zhang Kuang started to complain: "Could it be that the Heavenly Court only has these three experts?"

The second princess, who was already curled up, shrank even more, her toes digging awkwardly into the ground, and whispered, "There were many experts when the Heavenly Emperor was alive."

"Before? The Heavenly Emperor?" Zhang Kuang squatted down in front of the Second Princess, holding her calf with one hand to soothe her emotions, while staring intently at her and saying, "Tell me in detail."

The second princess's face grew even redder, and her voice became softer, but fortunately, Zhang Kuang had sharp ears and could hear her clearly:

"In the past, when the Heavenly Emperor reigned, the seas were calm and the rivers were clear, and he vanquished demons and evil spirits. Later, the Heavenly Emperor was injured and never took action again. Until the celestial stars changed positions and the great demon Tongtian Jiaozhu was born, the Heavenly Emperor risked his injured body and together with many immortals sealed Tongtian Jiaozhu. He said that if the Eight Immortals returned to their positions, the calamity of Tongtian Jiaozhu could be eliminated. Then he hurriedly went into seclusion to recuperate."

Until a few years ago, a monkey caused a ruckus at the Peach Banquet, disturbing the Heavenly Emperor. The Heavenly Emperor intervened again, and somehow a conflict arose with the forces at Mount Ling. He later passed away and was reincarnated to undergo tribulations, leaving the affairs of Heaven to the Queen Mother.

"You, you're pinching me too hard," the second princess whispered, shrinking her leg from Zhang Kuang's grasp.

It hurt a little, but... she didn't seem to dislike the feeling. After the pain subsided, there was a tingling, numb sensation that was so comfortable that it made her feel conflicted.

Zhang Kuang ignored the Second Princess's words and continued kneading at his own pace while organizing his thoughts.

"Initially, Yin Shi Wang wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Court, and the Heavenly Emperor sealed Yin Shi Wang away. Then Tong Tian Jiao Zhu was born, and the Heavenly Emperor sealed Tong Tian Jiao Zhu away. Finally, Sun Wukong wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong became a Buddha, and the Heavenly Emperor passed away."

"Interesting. Those Calabash Brothers seem to be quite something!"

Zhang Kuang narrowed his eyes. The key moments in this world, besides the Yin Shi King who needed to be sealed by the Seven Fairies and the Tongtian Sect Leader who needed to be dealt with by the Eight Immortals, were the Peach Banquet where Sun Wukong caused havoc. Laozi's alchemy furnace fell to the mortal world and accidentally suppressed the snake demon and the scorpion demon. That was nothing special, but the Heavenly Emperor also reincarnated to undergo tribulation, which Zhang Kuang couldn't help but think about carefully.

Could the Heavenly Emperor be reincarnated as the Calabash Brothers?
