Ming Dynasty: Gain one supernatural power every day

"Of course! How could I, Old Pig, ignore this scene? I went up and pinned him down."

"But Wu Gang is a real scoundrel. He turned around and accused me, shouting that I, Old Pig, had flirted with Chang'e." Pigsy sighed heavily as he said this.

"Then, brother, aren't you being wronged?" Zhu Gaoxu slammed his hand on the table.

"That Wu Gang is such a scoundrel! Marshal, you did a good deed and were wronged. What happened afterward?" Zhang Fu couldn't help but ask.

"Later, the Jade Emperor didn't investigate further, and those male immortals who were jealous of me also supported Wu Gang, saying that I, Old Pig, didn't look like a decent person on a daily basis."

Do you guys think I, Old Pig, am being indecent?

"The marshal looks like a respectable man! They must be jealous of his good looks!"

"Yes, yes, they must be jealous that the Seven Fairies and Chang'e are so good to the Marshal!"

"Didn't the Jade Emperor investigate thoroughly? Didn't the Marshal offer any explanation?" Qiu Fu asked.

"Before I could say anything, I was banished to the mortal realm."

"Chang'e was crying her eyes out next to me. Seeing her like that, my heart softened, and I said, 'Forget it, don't explain anymore, I'll admit my guilt.'"

Pigsy picked up his wine cup, striking a pose of heroic grandeur.

"Why, brother? Why did you just admit to this crime?" Zhu Gaoxu asked, puzzled.

"Yeah, bro, that's such a rip-off!"

"Hey, you guys don't understand. My good looks in Heaven are obvious to everyone, and there are countless female immortals who like me."

"Being molested by me, Old Pig, only proves that she is very charming, which is a plus."

"But Wu Gang is just a lousy tree-chopping man, and he's ugly too. If word gets out that she was molested by someone like him, Chang'e's reputation will be completely ruined."

"Fine, I'll just take the blame." Pigsy said righteously, as if he were a hero who sacrificed himself for righteousness.

"Marshal, you are truly righteous!" Xue Lu gave a thumbs up.

"The Marshal is too sentimental! He even gave up being Marshal Tianpeng for the sake of Chang'e's reputation!" Zheng Heng also sighed.

"There's a lot more to this than meets the eye. Do you know why the Jade Emperor didn't investigate this matter thoroughly?" Pigsy suddenly lowered his voice and gave everyone a mysterious look.

"Why? Is the Jade Emperor too busy?" Zhu Gaoxu asked.

"Why?! Marshal, please tell us! How are we supposed to know about things in the heavens?!"

"Hey, it's actually just like the things that happen to you mortals. I heard about this from my junior brother Sha."

"My junior brother Sha was originally the Curtain-Rolling General in Heaven, which was actually the one who rolled up the curtains for the Jade Emperor. He knew quite a lot of things," Pigsy began to reveal.

"Brother, your junior brother is also a general of the Heavenly Court!" Zheng Heng exclaimed in surprise.

"A curtain-roller! Hahaha, there are officials like that in heaven!" Xue Lu couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"You know what, someone who rolls up the curtain for the Jade Emperor can be considered a close advisor to the Jade Emperor, right?" Zhang Fu said thoughtfully.

"You're right. It's because we both knew too much about the Jade Emperor that we were demoted one after the other," Pigsy sighed.

"My junior brother Sha told me that when he was rolling up the curtain for the Jade Emperor, he heard the Jade Emperor muttering inside: 'What's so good about Marshal Tianpeng? I wonder what Chang'e sees in him. I need to think of a way to deal with this.'"

"No wonder, with so many male immortals in Heaven, I've never heard of anyone daring to get close to Chang'e. It turns out the Jade Emperor himself has taken a liking to her, and no one else dares to have any designs on her."

"As a result, this man abused his power a little, and a pillar of the Heavenly Court was demoted to the mortal realm."

"She really is a femme fatale!" Zheng Heng sighed.

"I never imagined the Jade Emperor also liked beautiful women. I thought it was only us mortals who had that taste," Zhu Gaoxu grinned.

"Brother, what a pity! Marshal Tianpeng was so impressive, commanding 80,000 naval troops of the Heavenly Court." Zhang Fu shook his head.

"Oh well, that's it. I, Old Pig, accept it. I've had my share of glory for so many years." Pigsy waved his hand and took another swig of wine. "You guys don't know, my eldest brother was the one who suffered the most. He was completely tricked and ended up not knowing anything at all."

"The Marshal's senior brother??"

"Is your senior brother the one I mentioned before, the one who can manipulate the heavens and earth and shatter the heavens and earth?" Zhu Gaoxu remembered.

"Yes, yes, that's it. It's my fault for not telling you guys about this earlier. I went on my pilgrimage later, didn't I? I took another master as my master."

"Our team is in a really bad situation, and I, Old Pig, am not even the worst off."

"My master was the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, a disciple of Buddha. However, he was punished by Buddha for dozing off during a sermon and was forced to reincarnate and cultivate for several hundred years."

"I've already told you about my situation. There are also my two junior brothers, one is Junior Brother Sha, and the other is Little White Dragon. I feel that Junior Brother Sha and Little White Dragon are in a worse situation than me."

"Brother Sha was banished to the mortal realm by the Jade Emperor for breaking one of his wine cups. He had to suffer the pain of flying swords piercing his heart day and night and was banished to the Flowing Sand River, where he was neither human nor ghost."

"The White Dragon was even more pitiful. He was originally the prince of the Dragon Palace, but his wife cheated on him. In a fit of rage, he burned down the Dragon Palace, which destroyed the luminous pearl bestowed upon him by the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor punished him, and in the end, he became my master's mount. A real dragon turned into a horse, carrying people every day, must have been quite miserable."

"Marshal, the people in your team are really pitiful." Zheng Heng clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Yes, your junior brother Sha was demoted to the mortal realm just for breaking a wine cup, and he has to suffer so much." Qiu Fu also shook his head.

"That little white dragon is quite pitiful. He was cuckolded and ended up becoming a mount." Xue Lu said with a look of sympathy.

"Brother, this isn't considered terrible? How terrible must your senior brother be?" Zhu Gaoxu asked curiously.

"My eldest brother...it's a long story." Pigsy put down his wine cup and let out a long sigh.

"My eldest brother was transformed from a piece of stone left over from Nuwa's patching up the sky in Aolai Kingdom of Dongsheng. He has extraordinary talent and has cultivated for countless years. He was astonishing from the moment he was born. However, he is short-sighted and has never seen much of the world."

"What do you mean by that?" Zhang Fu asked.

"Yeah, brother, why do you say that?" Zhu Gaoxu leaned closer as well.

"This matter spanned countless years. Back then, I was still Marshal Tianpeng in heaven. At that time, the Heavenly Court was also in a mess, and everyone needed to find someone to take the blame and deal with these messes. That's when we saw this variable."

"When my senior brother was born, it was earth-shattering, shaking the entire Three Realms. Everyone thought he was a promising talent. At that time, we were already prepared to make him take the blame."

"No way, it was plotted against right after it was born?" Zhu Gaoxu slapped his thigh.

"Indeed, being plotted against right after birth, how can one defend against that? Even gods are terrifying..." Zheng Heng murmured.

"Ha, terrifying? The intricacies of Heaven are no less than the power struggles and factional strife in your mortal court." Pigsy sneered and poured himself another cup of wine.
