You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

The saints smile with encouragement.

The immortals dared not speak.

Recalling the Curtain-Pulling General who was dragged out of the Yaochi Lake before, Yang Chan finally reached out to make a cup of tea, held it in her palm, and walked towards the Yaochi Lake.

Yang Jian noticed her movements, and after thinking about it, he didn't stand up, but he didn't stop her either.

He couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, so it was just right to let Yang Chan go, so as not to implicate outsiders.

However, even though he thought so, Yang Jian's eyes were fixed on Yang Chan's every move, scanning every immortal god in the hall who looked at her, just like an old hen protecting her chicks.

At this time, Yang Chan had already walked to the Great Heavenly Venerable with a covered bowl in hand under the gaze of countless immortals and gods. After a moment of hesitation, Yang Chan placed the covered bowl on the table with both hands and muttered in a somewhat tangled voice: "Uncle, please have some tea..."

On the table, the Great Heavenly Venerable listened to the faint voice of "Uncle" in his ear, and his expression changed slightly.

However, the Great Celestial Venerable lowered his brows and glanced at the small piece of snake tail that was exposed from Yang Chan's sleeve. His lips moved for a moment but he said nothing more. He just picked up the covered bowl and took a sip of tea. After frowning for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "This is the first time I have tasted mortal tea in the Heavenly Palace."

Yang Chan also smiled and said, "We haven't tasted the tea we just got yet."

The Great Celestial Venerable did not blame him. After taking another sip of tea, he said with a smile, "Well, it's good that you have the intention. Please go down."

Yang Chan breathed a sigh of relief and left as she was told. After she sat down, she found her second brother grabbing her sleeves. Looking at Xia Zhiming, who had half of his head peeked out, he said helplessly, "White Snake, I see your tail is showing?"

Xia Zhiming was helpless: "I dare not go in or out, and your sister won't let me go. I've tried my best to hide."

Yang Jian's face darkened: "Stay away from Chan'er from now on!"

"It's just a wrist, it's not for your tsundere."

"What is a tsundere?"

"I clearly want it in my heart, but I say no."

Yang Chan: "Brother, so this is how my second brother calls himself a tsundere. It's kind of cute~"

Xia Zhiming: “I think so too!”

Yang Jian: "White Snake, has no one ever told you that you deserve a beating when you talk?"

Xia Zhiming: “A lot.”

Yang Jian: "..."

The two of them and the snake chatted for a while. When Xia Zhiming slipped back onto Xiao Qingxin's shoulder, Xiao Qingxin asked curiously, "Zhiming, did it work?"

Xia Zhiming tapped the girl's cheek and smiled, "Although there were some minor problems, it went surprisingly smoothly. Suddenly I feel that Yang Chan is even more sensible than Yang Jian."

After saying that, Xia Zhiming looked towards the Jade Emperor above Yaochi, only to find that the Great Heavenly Venerable picked up the covered bowl and drank a sip of tea, also looking at him. He couldn't help but quickly shrink his neck.

Xiao Qingxin noticed this scene, touched his back helplessly, and then bowed to the Jade Emperor.

On the stage, the Jade Emperor smiled and nodded, but said nothing.

In the Yaochi, the immortals saw that the situation had finally calmed down. After whispering for a while, the barefoot immortal finally stepped out from the table, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I have a report."

The Great Heavenly Venerable smiled and said, "What is the matter, my lord?"

The Barefoot Immortal said, "Your Majesty, General Juanlian has worked diligently for many years without fail. Today, he made an unintentional mistake. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and spare his life."

Upon hearing this, the Great Heavenly Venerable sighed, waved his hand and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Wenquxingjun thought for a moment and then stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Your Majesty, I would like to hear your voice."

"speak."

Wenquxingjun said respectfully, "In the Three Realms of the Supreme Saints, living beings struggle in the sea of ​​suffering, unable to escape. Only one among billions of beings can achieve enlightenment. The hardships involved are beyond words. I hope Your Majesty will be merciful and spare General Juanlian's death sentence."

The Great Celestial Master's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he remained silent.

Upon seeing this, Taibai Jinxing stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I also have a report to make."

The Great Celestial Master seemed displeased: "Speak!"

Taibai Jinxing said with a smile, "Your servant, General Juanlian, has been guilty of indecent conduct in front of the palace and deserves severe punishment. I know of a river of flowing sand in the mortal world, three thousand meters deep, so deep that even a feather cannot float. How about banishing him there and having him suffer the torment of ten thousand swords piercing his heart every seven days? After 129,600 years, release him to demonstrate the majesty of heaven."

In Yaochi, Xia Zhiming couldn't help but shudder when he heard this. He was worthy of being Taibai Jinxing. This was too cruel.

When the immortals heard this, they were all shocked, but after thinking about it for a while, they felt that it was at least better than death.

Seeing this, the Great Celestial Venerable thought for a moment and then said, "As you say!"

The immortals said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"

Chapter 128 Missing

Yaochi——

As the three immortals, Barefoot Immortal, Wenquxingjun and Taibaijinxing, advised the Jade Emperor with reason and emotion, the Jade Emperor finally gave in and ordered his guards to go to the demon-slaying platform.

As for whether General Juanlian is still alive after such a long time, it depends on how skilled the executioner is at cutting him into pieces. I think he should still have half his life left.

However, what happens next has nothing to do with the fairies at the Peach Banquet. Just eat and drink. If you like to see beautiful women, look at the fairy Chang'e.

For example, Qing Xin, Xia Zhiming and Marshal Tianpeng next to them, they all looked very focused and happy.

Xiao Qingxin didn't blink, nodding her head from time to time as if thinking, which was very cute. In fact, she was thinking about studying dance hard, thinking about finding a chance to give Xia Zhiming a little artistic shock.

Xia Zhiming's snake tongue flicked out lightly, and there was no focus in his red snake pupils. As for where his eyes were drifting to, only he himself knew.

Marshal Tianpeng was quite unique. He was watching so intently that he almost poured wine into his nostrils. His pig-like appearance scared the fairies Chang'e away from him.

The final result was that from time to time, one Chang'e fairy after another, overflowing with maternal love, would come up to Xiao Qingxin, dancing gracefully, serving her juice and fruit. Xia Zhiming also enjoyed a lot of special treatments and became addicted to it.

However, happy times are short-lived. As it gets darker, the Jade Emperor stands up and invites all the fairies to drink the wine in their cups together. The Peach Festival slowly comes to an end with the departure of the fairies in the Yaochi Lake.

After the banquet, Qingxin took Xia Zhiming to the upper seat, intending to say goodbye to the Yang brothers and sisters, but found that all the immortals at the upper seat had left. Only the Great Heavenly Venerable was sitting quietly on the Yaotai with a covered bowl in his hand, looking at them.

Seeing this, Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming bowed to the Great Celestial Venerable and were about to say goodbye when they saw the Great Celestial Venerable lift the lid of the bowl beside him, pour out all the immortal wine inside, and then said, "White Snake, come here and have a cup of tea for me."

When Xia Zhiming heard this, he naturally knew what the Jade Emperor was thinking. He turned back into a human, ordered a pot of tea, and refilled the tea for the Jade Emperor.

On the table, the Jade Emperor took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, and then sighed: "I have tried several times, but I have never been able to brew the taste of your pot of earthly tea."

"As long as Your Majesty can accept it."

"It's extremely bitter at first, with very little sweetness afterward. I... don't like it at all."

"Next time if there is a chance, I will brew a pot of flower tea for Your Majesty to try. I think it will be better."

"Haha."

The Jade Emperor immediately stroked his beard and chuckled, then waved his hand and said, "Forgive me for your disrespect. Please leave."

Xia Zhiming was immediately delighted when he heard this. He left the teapot in his hand on the table, bowed to express his gratitude, turned back into a snake and hung back on Qingxin's shoulder, and they took their leave together.

Behind the man and the snake, the Jade Emperor glanced at the white jade teapot left on the table by Xia Zhiming, took a sip of tea, and then sighed.

After a while, the Jade Emperor left the covered bowl and teapot in his hands on the table, and then led his assistants and generals towards the Hall of Fragrance.

Beside the table, the four Heavenly Masters who were at the end looked at each other, and after thinking for a moment, Zhang Daoling picked up the teapot and covered bowl on the table.

Beside him, Heavenly Master Ge Xuan, Xu Xun and Qiu Hongji all looked away pretending not to see anything, and then they set off together to catch up with the Jade Emperor in front.

the other side--

Qing Xin looked at Xia Zhiming, who was yawning on her shoulder, and asked curiously, "Zhiming, what kind of tea did you make for the Jade Emperor?"

"It's the tea we drank at the wild tea stall on Jingyanggang before."

"Zhiming, you are so brave!"

"What can I do? I've only ever drunk tea from the Qingxin Liulizhan in my life."

When Qing Xin heard this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Then I'll make you a pot of flower tea when we get back~"

Xia Zhiming nodded. Although he didn't think that Yang Jian's family could completely resolve their past grievances, it was better to be prepared, just in case there really was an opportunity.

……

In the following days, Xia Zhiming and Qingxin did not run around, and spent most of their time leisurely staying in the Lingguan Mansion.

During this period, Qingxin's dance practice came to a standstill. The reason was naturally that the little girl did not want to be seen by outsiders, so she could only explore on her own.

But there are also gains, for example -

One morning, when Jinjiao walked into the Lingguan Mansion with his hands behind his back to visit, he saw Qingxin and Baishe sitting in the mansion listening to music and watching dance, drinking tea and eating fruit, and discussing things.

Seeing this, Jinjiao couldn't help but spit and said, "Why do I feel that you, the guardian spirit officials, are more comfortable than my master."

Seeing Jinjiao approach, Xiao Qingxin and Xia Zhiming naturally noticed him. After Xia Zhiming wagged his tail and beckoned him to sit down, he smiled and said, "Aren't the most useless ones in Heaven the guardian spirit officials? Especially our guardian spirit officials from Lihentian. I still can't figure out the meaning of their existence."

Jinjiao rolled his eyes and shook his head repeatedly: "Don't say that about yourself. I think you are still very powerful."

"Tell me, what's so great about it?"

Jinjiao took out a folding fan from behind his back and waved it, then chuckled: "You two are the only ones who take it for granted when you're eating without working."

"You're saying bad things about me in a roundabout way. I'll remember this grudge."

Jin Jiao was stunned for a moment, and stopped waving the golden folding fan in his hand. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Stop! I brought you something good!"

After saying that, Jinjiao secretly took out a handful of golden pills from his sleeve, then took out another handful of golden pills, counted them, and took out two more. When he had collected thirty-six, he muttered in a low voice: "Isn't it a good thing?"

Qing Xin was surprised for a moment, then asked tentatively: "Jin Jiao, you stole so much this time?"

"What do you mean by stealing? I just picked it up from the ground!"

"Don't tell me you haven't cheated before."

"I was just trying to help Master taste it!"

"You...are amazing..."

Xiao Qingxin was immediately overwhelmed by his tricks. After a sigh, she was about to accept the golden elixir he had given her, but she heard Xia Zhiming suddenly say from her shoulder, "Jinjiao, tell me the truth, these golden elixirs are not the ones that the monkey dropped on the ground when he stole the elixir last time, right?"

Upon hearing this, Jinjiao nodded immediately: "Yes, Yinjiao and I counted and there are more than a hundred. Since we have some free time today, we thought we'd come over and share some with you."

Xia Zhiming and Qingxin looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Then they said, "Take it back yourself. We won't need it."

"Ginjiao and I have tasted it, and the taste hasn't changed. Don't be disgusted by it."

"You were upstairs packing up the futons when we came down first. We had actually already taken them."

Jinjiao seemed unconvinced: "Really?"

Xia Zhiming curled his tail, summoned his magical power, and slowly lifted the golden elixir from the table. He jokingly said, "I took fifty at the time, and I wanted to leave some for you. But if you really want to give me some, I don't mind taking a few more."

Upon hearing this, Jin Jiao quickly reached out and threw the folding fan onto the table. He then snatched the golden elixir and held it in his arms, pouting and saying, "No! No!"

"Okay, okay, I won't take yours."

(It’s the end of the month, can you please give me a ticket for next month?)

Chapter 129 You're Better Off Being a Man

In the Lingguan Mansion——

Jin Jiao took back the golden elixir and confirmed that Xia Zhiming had no intention of snatching it away. Recalling what Xia Zhiming had just said, he nodded in satisfaction and said, "You have a conscience, White Snake."

Xia Zhiming spit out his snake tongue and said with a smile: "It's just a few golden pills, what's the big deal?"

"Although I can pick up a few from time to time when sweeping the floor, there's no such good opportunity to eat all the golden elixirs."

"You guys are so honest, are you really just waiting for Daozu to feed you?"

“In fact, if I’m greedy, I’ll secretly eat a couple.”

"Can I take back what I just said?"

"hey-hey."

Jinjiao chuckled, rubbed his head, and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, Master is very soft-hearted and won't say anything."

Xia Zhiming nodded. Daozu was indeed a person who doted on his juniors. In this respect, he was exactly like Bodhi Patriarch.

While he was thinking, Xiao Qingxin pulled out a purple peach from her sleeve and handed it to Jinjiao, saying, "The Peach Festival only gave out two peaches. I ate one. You can share this one. Don't eat it all by yourself."

When Jinjiao heard this, he nodded repeatedly and held the peaches in his arms, looking like he had obtained a treasure.

In fact, for them, the peaches are just for tasting, and their value is roughly equivalent to sweeping the floor after the Taoist Ancestor refines the elixir. Unfortunately, there are only a limited number of them every year, and they don’t eat much, so it is considered a rare thing.

At this time, Jinjiao was coveting the peaches in his hand and had no intention of staying here any longer. He picked up the folding fan on the table and handed it to Qingxin.

Qingxin was puzzled, but she only saw Jinjiao squinting his eyes and smiling: "This is a treasure that Master refined for you. You can play with it. I'm leaving first!"
