Chapter 302 The Eight Immortals, A Shocking Change at Jade Pool

"Please wait, gentlemen."

With a wave of his hand, Emperor Donghua unleashed a sword aura as sharp as a dragon, bypassing the green and white snakes and blocking them at the temple entrance.

The green snake and the white snake instantly tensed up. One held a Ruyi scepter with her orchid fingers, while the other held a treasure bag with her palm facing upwards. Their green and white magical power surged, and their aura was extremely tense.

The white snake's tone softened slightly as she took a deep breath and said, "Immortal Master, is there something important you wish to tell us sisters? If not, we should return to our cave to avoid being late and incurring our master's punishment."

"You stinking Taoist priest, what do you want?" The green snake, with her fiery temper, glared and, though blustering, pushed the magic bag in her palm, saying weakly, "If you want to subdue demons, this magic bag in my hand isn't just for show!"

This was such a blatant lie that even Fei Changfang could see through it.

Fortunately, Fei Changfang was not a person who would betray his principles for personal gain or repay kindness with enmity. Seeing that Donghua Shangxian had blocked the two demons with his sword energy, he immediately stood in front of them, pointing at Donghua Shangxian with righteous indignation and saying:
"Donghua! Although those two are demons, they saved me and my mother from dire straits. How dare you attack them now? You cannot distinguish right from wrong, good from evil. How are you any different from a demon!"

Emperor Donghua said speechlessly, "Don't get agitated. When did I say I wanted to subdue the demon?"

He took out a gourd from his bosom, opened it, knocked out three pills, and handed them to him, saying, "Although I do not have the great power to protect the world, I am by no means a stubborn and foolish blockhead who cannot distinguish right from wrong. You two saw injustice and were willing to draw your swords to help. Although you are demons, you deserve Donghua's respect."

"Fei Changfang, this elixir is a divine pill I obtained from Laozi. One pill will ensure your mother's safety; the other two can be given to you both as a token of my gratitude."

Fei Changfang was, after all, one of the Eight Immortals by destiny. It was by no means a good thing that he had formed such a karmic bond with the two demons, Qing and Bai. Therefore, the Immortal Donghua decided to use an elixir to resolve the karmic conflict.

Fei Changfang didn't hesitate. He immediately took a magic pill and fed it to his mother. Seeing that his mother's complexion had improved, he breathed a sigh of relief. But then he stood up and said to Donghua Shangxian:
"I owe you this pill, but there is absolutely no reason for me to take anything from you to repay the two of you for saving my life."

He then bowed deeply to the two snakes, saying, "I am deeply grateful for your kindness in saving my mother. If there is anything I need, I would gladly go through fire and water without complaint."

Green Snake had been eyeing the elixir for a while, but when she heard Fei Changfang so easily refuse Donghua Shangxian's kindness, she rolled her eyes speechlessly and said, "What can a mortal like you do to help us? You might as well accept the stinky old man's pill and consider it as you owing him three favors."

Seeing that Fei Changfang was about to make a move, the White Snake immediately raised her hand to block the Green Snake and said, "My sister and I happened to pass by this place and saw that the Green Ox Demon was so despicable. We were indignant and that's why we took action. We did not want any reward. If you are willing, just ask this immortal to let us pass."

Immortal Donghua frowned, waved his sleeve to retract the sword energy blocking the temple entrance, and said, "Although Donghua's actions have been somewhat excessive, he has no ill intentions. If you two wish to leave, please do so."

While repaying Fei Changfang's debt of gratitude is important, Fei Changfang is already extremely averse to seeking immortality. If he were to do something that would harm Fei Changfang, the return of the Eight Immortals to their rightful place would likely be delayed for quite some time.

After weighing the pros and cons, Immortal Donghua naturally wouldn't block the way.

"Then I thank you for your kindness, Immortal Master. The mountains are high and the roads are long, but we will surely meet again in the future."

After uttering a harsh but not entirely harsh remark, the White Snake decisively pulled the Green Snake away from the scene.

Immortal Donghua frowned and put away the elixir. Just as he was about to persuade Fei Changfang again, he suddenly had a sudden inspiration and calculated with his fingers. He realized that Tieguai Li, the destined one of the Eight Immortals, had already entered a tribulation, and it was the time for him to guide him. He sighed inwardly at the troubled times, told Fei Changfang to be careful of the Green Ox Demon, and then left.

The entire incident occurred under the watchful eyes of the Thousand-Mile Eye, and naturally, he recounted it all to the six princesses present without missing a single detail.

"So, these two monsters aren't entirely wicked after all?" Sixth Princess Lan'er blinked, her pure eyes filled with innocent kindness and naivety, revealing a clear folly.

"But they tricked Seventh Sister!" The Fourth Princess, Greenie, with her quick temper, immediately retorted to her Sixth Sister, adding, "Eldest Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, I think we should all work together to capture these two demons and order them to lead us to the cave to find Seventh Sister. If we can find Seventh Sister, we can let them go for the sake of Fei Changfang. If we can't find her, then don't blame us for exorcising demons!"

The eldest sister, being the most composed, nodded and said, "Let's do as Fourth Sister says. Second Sister, Third Sister, Fourth Sister, let's do it together..."

Before the word "go" was even on her lips, a fairy hurriedly arrived outside the door, bowed, and said, "Princesses, Her Majesty has ordered the seven princesses to go to Yaochi to listen to Laozi's sermon."

She emphasized the word "seven".

The seven people inside the hall turned pale instantly.

The Fourth Princess asked anxiously, "What's going on? In the past, after we finished our dance at the Peach Banquet, Mother would never call us over. Why are we being summoned today to listen to Laozi preach?"

The palace maid trembled, but still forced herself to say, "Fourth Princess, it was the Broom Star who told the Barefoot Immortal that the Seventh Princess had descended to the mortal realm. The Barefoot Immortal spoke of this at the Jade Pool and urged Your Majesty to severely punish the Seventh Princess."

The Moon Goddess Chang'e and the Peony Fairy pleaded on her behalf, and only then did the Empress summon the seven princesses to the Jade Pool. Presumably, with all seven princesses present, the matter would be dropped.

But the problem is, Seventh Sister isn't here right now!
The fourth princess gritted her teeth and looked at the eldest princess, "Eldest sister!"

"We can't wait any longer," the eldest princess said decisively. "Second sister, take fourth sister to the mortal realm to catch those two monsters, find seventh sister first, and then quickly return to Yaochi."

My sisters and I are stalling for time; we must be quick!

"it is good!"

The second princess immediately agreed.

The fourth princess has already rushed off to the human world.

Two colors, orange and green, flashed by.

Just as the remaining three princesses were about to depart, the third princess, Huang'er, suddenly asked Qianliyan, "Qianliyan, you seemed to have something to say just now?"

The man with the keen eye feigned ignorance and said, "No."

"Alright, Third Sister, let's go to Yaochi to deal with Mother first, and we'll talk about the rest later." The Fifth Princess and the Sixth Princess left the palace first.

The eldest princess also said, "Let's put this matter aside for now and think about how to stall for time."

"Why not do what we did before and have Thousand-Mile Eyes and Wind-Following Ears transform into Second Sister and Fourth Sister... Didn't no one notice when they performed the dance at Yaochi before?" The Third Princess listened to the advice and gave up her idea of ​​pressing for details.

But her suggestion was rejected by Qianliyan: "Princess, even the Empress didn't care when you performed your dance, which is how you managed to get away with it. How can that work now!"

"Well, let's just take it one step at a time. I hope my second and fourth sisters can bring my seventh sister back soon."
