This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Seeing Yang Chan's resentful little expression, Zhong Bai knew he had to comfort her.

He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Yang Chan, his broad chest enveloping her entire body.

Then came the touch of red lips...

After a long while, Yang Chan, her face flushed and panting, finally released her tight embrace from Zhong Bai.

"You rascal!"

Yang Chan's charming words sent shivers down Zhong Bai's spine.

"By the way, how's the situation?"

After suppressing the thoughts of paint in his mind, Zhong Bai inquired about Yang Chantian's achievements.

"It's no problem for me, this fairy, to take action. My uncle has already agreed to let you be the executioner of the Heavenly Court, and at the same time serve as the demon-slaying master in the mortal realm!"

After Yang Chan finished speaking, she added another sentence.

"but……"

"But what?" Zhong Bai asked, puzzled.

"However, we two need to get married first!"

"Chan'er, are you ready?"

Zhong Bai asked somewhat uncertainly. Although he and Yang Chan were already very close, it was too fast to start getting married right away. Zhong Bai was happy to do so, but Yang Chan's own wishes were equally important.

"uh-huh!"

"You're not going to marry me?!"

"No, no, no! Chan'er, of course I want to, but I'm just worried you're not ready."

Zhong Bai chuckled, and Zhao Ling'er and Mo Ling laughed out loud at the same time.

"Sister Chan'er, your husband has had his eye on you for a long time. He probably can't wait to marry you!"

"That's right, that's right, my husband is so naughty!"

Zhao Ling'er echoed Mo Ling's words. Although they had to share their husbands with others, both women understood that Yang Chan's identity was very special. If they could get together with their husbands, it would definitely be a great help!
Moreover, Yang Chan herself is straightforward and doesn't have any ulterior motives, so Zhao Ling'er and Mo Ling both felt that they got along very well.

Yang Chan looked up, a happy smile on her beautiful face.

"Since you have no problem, then it's settled. The eighth day of the month after next is a good day. I even had the God of Love calculate it."

However, we will not announce our marriage to the world, lest you be envied and gossiped about by all the beings in the three realms.

As Zhong Bai listened to Yang Chan's increasingly weak voice and increasingly red face, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Is Chan'er afraid that I will be ridiculed by the beings of the Three Realms?"
Oh well, it doesn't matter. It's not easy to live off Chan'er, so let the beings of the Three Realms say what they want. I'm proud of it anyway!

"Tsk, so shameless~"
However, it was my uncle's idea not to announce it to the world. People are afraid of becoming famous, just as pigs are afraid of getting fat. Zhong Bai, you still need time to grow. Your uncle said that it's enough for the family to sit together and have a meal.

I don't want to make it too flashy..."

Zhong Bai nodded.

"Then I'll listen to Chan'er. But if there's a chance in the future, I must hold a grand wedding banquet so that the three realms will know that you are my Zhong Bai's wives!"

Zhong Bai looked at the three women with a determined gaze.

.........................................................

At the mouth of the Guan River, in the temple of Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun, Yang Jian, who was sitting in a palace on a cloud, had a complicated expression after receiving a letter from his sister.

"Alas, my little sister has finally fallen for it."

Yang Jian sighed softly, not angry at all. He had actually anticipated his sister's decision from the moment he agreed to let the Old Man Under the Moon tie the red thread.

Regarding Zhong Bai...

Yang Jian was not very satisfied. After all, Zhong Bai's cultivation level was not high, and he also had two Daoist partners. His sister was not the only one to marry into that family.

However, the reason Yang Jian did not choose to stop her was that his sister had not violated the heavenly rules and had made a conscious choice to be with Zhong Bai.

If it were a scheme, Yang Jian would never agree, but Yang Chan made her own choice... How could her second brother truly be so heartless as to stop her?

However, after reading the contents of the letter, Yang Jian's previously worried expression improved.

"real or fake?
Zhong Bai was only at the peak of the Human Immortal realm a few months ago, how long has it been? He's already reached the Profound Immortal realm, little sister, you're not kidding me, are you?"

Yang Jian was somewhat surprised. He was the number one disciple of the third generation of the Chan Sect. He had already reached the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm during the Investiture of the Gods calamity, and now he was just one step away from crossing the threshold of Taiyi Golden Immortal and entering the Daluo Golden Immortal realm!

His talent is undeniable.

However, it took Yang Jian hundreds of years to go from the peak of the Human Immortal realm to the Profound Immortal realm, and that was only after his master had accumulated countless rare and precious treasures.

And Zhong Bai...

Yang Jian was puzzled and worried that such a huge leap could be made in just a few months, and wondered if he had consumed some rare and precious herbs or pills that depleted his potential.

This is not possible!

While consuming potential can quickly improve one's realm, it blocks the path to the future.

Even a single Nine-Turn Golden Pill from Laozi could create a Great Luo Golden Immortal, so which disciple of the three religions would choose to cut off their own future?

"Forget it, there's no use in overthinking. We'll know when we get to Mount Hua in two months."

"Right now, we should still follow the Heavenly Court's orders and keep an eye on Flower Fruit Mountain..."

Flower and Fruit Mountain in Aolai Country, Dongsheng Shenzhou.

After the immortal stone exploded, a stone monkey sprang out from it.

This stone monkey is small in size, yet exudes a lively spirit. Its body is covered in golden fur, which shimmers brilliantly in the sunlight.

Its eyes were bright and piercing, like two bright stars, revealing a cleverness and intelligence.

After landing, the stone monkey stood on all fours and let out a loud roar towards the sky.

The roar was full of life and vitality, as if it were announcing its birth to the world.

It hopped and skipped around on the ground, curiously observing everything around it.

It saw the trees and flowers in the mountains and forests, the birds and clouds in the sky, and the streams and waterfalls in the distance.

It was filled with curiosity about everything, as if it had entered a completely new world.

The stone monkey first turned its gaze to the wild fruits growing in the mountains and forests.

The bright red peaches, like tiny lanterns, hung from the branches, emitting an enticing fragrance.

The stone monkey excitedly ran over, reached out and picked a peach, examining it carefully.

The peach has a smooth skin, a bright color, and a few glistening dewdrops on it.

The stone monkey couldn't resist bringing the peach close to its nose and taking a deep breath; the rich fruity aroma instantly filled its nasal cavity.

It couldn't wait to take a bite of the peach, and the sweet juice instantly filled its mouth.

The taste was sweet with a hint of sourness, and the texture was soft and chewy. The stone monkey's eyes lit up instantly. It chewed happily, making satisfied "squeak" sounds.

It quickly finished the peach, but still felt it wasn't enough, so it reached out and picked another one to continue its feast.

Besides peaches, there are many other wild fruits in the mountains and forests.

The purple grapes hung in bunches on the vines, like sparkling gems. The stone monkey jumped under the grape trellis, reached out and picked a grape, putting it in his mouth.

The grapes were tender, juicy, sweet, and delicious. The stone monkey ate them with great relish, its mouth covered with purple juice.

And there are those golden apricots, emitting a faint fragrance.

The stone monkey picked up an apricot, took a gentle bite, and was delighted by the delicate flesh and sweet and sour taste.

It roams through the mountains and forests, constantly tasting various wild fruits, each one bringing it a different taste experience.

While tasting wild fruits, the stone monkey gradually became familiar with the environment of Flower and Fruit Mountain.

It learned how to leap nimbly through the woods and how to avoid sharp branches and thorns.

It also discovered some streams hidden in the grass, with crystal-clear water and many small fish and shrimp swimming in them.

The stone monkey squatted curiously by the stream, reaching out to grab the small fish and shrimp, but the little creatures were very clever and always managed to evade its grasp.

One day, while the stone monkey was playing in the forest, it heard a noisy sound.

It ran in the direction of the sound and found that it was a group of monkeys playing and frolicking.

The monkeys have different colored fur, including brown, black, and gray. They leap and chase each other among the branches, full of energy.

Attracted by their liveliness, the stone monkey cautiously approached the troop.

At first, the monkeys in the troop were wary of the stone monkey. They stopped what they were doing, surrounded the stone monkey, and curiously looked at it.

The stone monkey was a little nervous; it stood still, not daring to move.

One of the larger monkeys stepped forward, bared its teeth at the stone monkey, and made threatening noises.

The stone monkey did not back down. It mustered its courage, looked at the monkey with friendly eyes, and made a few soft "squeaks" as if to greet it.

After a while, one of the little monkeys in the troop seemed to take a liking to the stone monkey. It slowly approached the stone monkey and gently touched its fur.

The stone monkey sensed the little monkey's kindness and patted the little monkey's head in a friendly manner.

In this way, the stone monkey gradually integrated into the monkey troop. It searched for food with the monkeys in the mountains and forests and played together among the branches.

It also learned some survival skills from the monkey troop, such as how to find a safe place to live and how to avoid predators.

In its interactions with the monkey troop, the stone monkey demonstrated extraordinary wisdom and courage.

Once, a fierce eagle suddenly appeared above the monkey troop. Its eyes were sharp and its claws were sharp, ready to catch a monkey as its prey.

The monkeys scattered in terror, letting out terrified cries.

The stone monkey remained calm, observing the eagle's movements.

The moment the eagle swooped down, the stone monkey quickly picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the eagle.

The stone struck the eagle's wing precisely. The eagle cried out in pain and then flew away in a sorry state.

After this incident, the monkey troop had even greater respect for the stone monkey.

They began to obey the stone monkey's commands, and the stone monkey's status in the monkey troop rose higher and higher.

One day, the monkey troop came to a valley.

In the valley, a huge waterfall cascades down, splashing water to form a beautiful curtain of water.

Behind the waterfall, a cave entrance can be vaguely seen, but it is obscured by the curtain of water, making it impossible to see what is inside.

The monkeys looked at the waterfall with a mixture of curiosity and fear.

They chattered amongst themselves, but not a single monkey dared to step forward and explore.

The stone monkey stood in front of the monkey troop, gazing at the waterfall, a strong sense of curiosity welling up within it.

It shouted, "There might be something good behind this waterfall. Who dares to go in and find out?"
If he can go in and come out unharmed, we will make him our king!

After hearing what the stone monkey said, the monkeys looked at each other and dared not utter a sound.

After a while, a slightly bolder monkey stepped forward. It hesitated for a moment, then ran towards the waterfall.

But as it approached the waterfall, it was pushed back by the powerful current.

Seeing this, the other monkeys were even less willing to try.

The stone monkey looked at everyone and thought to himself, "Such a wonderful sight, if I don't go in and take a look, wouldn't it be a waste of my trip to Flower Fruit Mountain?"

So the stone monkey closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and then leaped towards the waterfall.

The monkeys watched the stone monkey nervously, their hearts pounding in their throats.

The stone monkey passed through the water curtain and was immediately struck by a bright light.

It turns out that there is a spacious cave behind the waterfall.

The cave was very bright, with sunlight filtering through the cracks at the entrance and casting patches of light on the ground.

Inside the cave are stone tables, stone benches, and various rare treasures.

There were some fruits and wines on the stone table, as if someone had prepared them on purpose.

The stone monkey excitedly ran around in the cave, touching the stone tables and benches and feeling the mysterious atmosphere inside.

It discovered some ancient characters carved on the cave wall, but it didn't recognize them; it just felt that these characters exuded a mysterious power.

After exploring the cave, the stone monkey decided it was an excellent place to live.

It decided to tell the monkey troop the good news.

So it passed through the water curtain and returned to the monkey troop.

The monkeys cheered when they saw the stone monkey return unharmed.

The stone monkey exclaimed excitedly, "Gentlemen, this is a wonderful place! There are stone tables and benches, as well as fine wine and delicious food. We can move in and live here!"

The monkeys were thrilled to hear what the stone monkey said.

They followed the stone monkey through the water curtain and into the cave.

When they saw what was inside the cave, they all exclaimed in amazement.

From then on, the monkey troop settled in the Water Curtain Cave.

The stone monkey, having led everyone to this wonderful place and displayed extraordinary courage and wisdom in the face of danger, was revered as the king of the monkey troop.

After becoming king, the stone monkey began to lead the monkey troop to a more orderly life.

It established rules, such as how to distribute food and how to protect the safety of the monkey troop.

Under the leadership of the stone monkey, the monkey troop's life improved more and more. They planted various fruit trees around the Water Curtain Cave and built some simple houses.

Of course, none of this escaped the notice of those who were interested. Both the Buddhist sect and the Heavenly Court paid close attention to the stone monkey of Flower Fruit Mountain.

Drain the estuary.

Yang Jian had witnessed everything the stone monkey did on Flower Fruit Mountain over the past two months, and he was neither surprised nor bored. After all, the stone monkey was a tool for the rise of Buddhism, and Yang Jian needed to cooperate with both the Heavenly Court and his own sect.

However, he now withdrew his gaze. With only three days left until his younger sister and Zhong Bai's wedding, Yang Jian needed to go to Mount Hua to help. (End of Chapter)
