Chapter 120 Stealing Peaches from Heaven, and Meeting the Jade Emperor Again
heaven.
After reporting what he had seen to the Jade Emperor, Venus waited anxiously for instructions, but there was no response for a long time.
He glanced at it in alarm, only to see the Jade Emperor seemingly in deep meditation.
Time passed,
The Jade Emperor, who had been intently calculating, opened his eyes, still puzzled:
"Why can't I still figure out the cause and effect of this little girl's story..."
Haotian initially thought that he couldn't foresee her affairs because of Yuanshi Tianzun's intervention, but the longer time went on, the more doubts he began to have.
If it was the work of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, he should feel the pressure of a sage.
The Jade Emperor was puzzled, but the most important thing at the moment was to find out who had hurt her.
If this were the work of a sage, Yang Jiao would have had no chance of surviving.
A fleeting glint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and he immediately addressed Venus:
"Go check."
Venus was just about to bow when he suddenly saw the Jade Emperor, seated high above, raise his hand to stop him, saying:
"no need."
The frost on his face faded, and he gradually regained his composure, his tone softening as well:
"I will go and ask."
That little girl has gone to heaven.
As the Jade Emperor stepped down from his throne and passed by Venus, he paused, his brow furrowing slightly.
"Crawling to the Peach Garden again?"
Yang Jiao, familiar with the route, lay prone on the ground and crawled towards the Peach Garden.
The dense, ethereal aura concealed the little figure within.
Taibai Jinxian, standing behind the Jade Emperor, couldn't help but rub his forehead. If he hadn't come here first to dismiss the heavenly soldiers and generals guarding the place, the news that the Jade Emperor's niece was crawling like a worm in the sky would have spread throughout the heavens by now.
The Jade Emperor coughed lightly and gave Taibai Jinxing a look.
The latter immediately understood, bowed, and stepped back.
He was still resentful after leaving the Peach Garden:
"I can't just stand by and watch her make a fool of herself, can I?"
Yang Jiao climbed and climbed, entering through the unguarded gate, where the fragrance of an entire peach orchard wafted towards her.
Based on my experience of stealing peaches last time, I can now steal just one peach in less than fifteen minutes.
She reached out with delight, but in her palm she felt a warm, hard object. Looking closer at its bright yellow color and the beads on it, Yang Jiao looked up:
"Amazing Uncle!"
Now that she'd been seen, Yang Jiao stopped lying on the ground. She stood up, discreetly wiped her hand, which had touched her shoe, on her smelly clothes, and asked:
"Immortal Uncle, are you still on duty in the Peach Garden?"
Judging from his position in the lower realm, this man is probably a gardener.
Remembering the words he had written for her, Yang Jiao looked up and expressed her gratitude:
"Thank you for the magic, Uncle. It's so useful. This is the first time I've ever seen such magic. It's amazing."
Can I learn it?
The Jade Emperor chuckled and shook his head regretfully at the little girl, saying:
"You can't learn that."
This is the principle that words become law.
Lord of the Three Realms, wielding the power of Heaven.
Yang Jiao let out a regretful "Ah." Such a useful spell—controlling people to obey simply by writing a word—was something she couldn't learn.
However, she was content that she had managed to humiliate Li Jing once.
The Jade Emperor analyzed her words and wondered if she had used this spell to escape when she was injured. Then, by asking, he could find out who had made the move.
"Who did you use this spell on?"
Mentioning this made Yang Jiao angry; she puffed out her cheeks and said:
"There is a general in the lower realm who wants to kill his own son."
Then, remembering how this spell had made Li Jing kowtow until his face was covered in blood, he laughed triumphantly, feeling satisfied:
"I ordered the general to kneel down and kowtow, and thoroughly humiliated him."
The Jade Emperor's smile could no longer be maintained.
General...General...
The lower-level general beat his son.
So she applied the principle of "words become law" here...
Why did the Jade Emperor feel that Yang Jiao had insulted the general, but instead felt that he himself had been insulted?
He rubbed his aching temples and asked:
"Why was that spell used on a general? If you had kept it, you certainly wouldn't be injured like this today."
Hearing this, Yang Jiao smiled:
"You already said that you can only command those below you. That Nine-Headed Xiangliu is a powerful demon. Your rank isn't high enough. Maybe you can be used if you get promoted a few more ranks."
Looking at the unchanged peach orchard, Yang Jiao said tactfully:
"Uncle, it's been so long and you still haven't been promoted. Have you ever thought that it might be because you haven't worked hard enough?"
If I work a little harder, and my official rank increases and my power grows, wouldn't it be possible for me to write a word so I can go back and seek revenge on Jiu Tou Xiang Liu?
The Jade Emperor felt a tightness in his chest.
Heart Road:
My official position really can't be promoted even a little bit.
Could it be that his niece wanted him to kill the Heavenly Dao?
But one must first obtain the Primordial Purple Qi to become a saint and create a new world; that is indeed his path.
However, the Jade Emperor also understood from the conversation.
Nine-headed willow...
A minor demon from the demon realm.
Yang Jiao had spoken with the immortal uncle several times, and felt they were in the same boat as those sharing the peaches of immortality, so he dared to say anything. He sighed and said:
"I was almost eaten by that Nine-Headed Willow today. I suffered a great loss, and it even caused Tianpeng, who had just passed through the tribulation of lightning and ascended to immortality, to give up his Water-Repelling Pearl to save me, while his cultivation dropped."
Hearing that a newly ascended deity had helped her, the Jade Emperor didn't inquire further and guessed her purpose:
"So you came up with this trick of stealing peaches to replenish your friend's spiritual energy again?"
Yang Jiao nodded frantically:
"You're so smart! I'll go pick one, just pretend you didn't see it, okay?"
Then, realizing something was amiss, he said seriously:
"I'll steal two. Same as always, one will be your hush money."
The Jade Emperor remained silent.
Unable to bear seeing the little girl climb a tree despite her own injuries not being fully healed, he immediately waved his sleeve and slapped her.
Two plump, round peaches fell from the innermost peach tree and flew over.
He took it and handed it to Yang Jiao, saying:
"You eat one too."
A nine-thousand-year-old peach is far more effective than a three-thousand-year-old one that she painstakingly climbed to pick.
Yang Jiao was overjoyed to receive the peach and thanked him repeatedly:
"Thank you, uncle, you're so kind. But... what if the Queen Mother of the West checks the quantity later and you're accused of negligence in supervision?"
The Jade Emperor smiled and raised an eyebrow:
"If I am banished to the mortal realm, I will seek refuge with you."
Yang Jiao smiled and said, "What's so difficult about that?"
He raised his eyebrows and agreed:
“Okay, I have the Mosquito Taoist by the Blood Sea and the Peach Spirit and Willow Monster in front of the Yellow Emperor’s Temple. I’ll introduce them to you as friends.”
The Jade Emperor was feeling somewhat weary.
What kind of friends do you have? Isn't there anyone powerful enough to protect you from all the chaos in the world?
No wonder he was injured by a mere nine-headed Xiangliu.
He sighed softly:
"Go down and heal your injuries quickly."
Yang Jiao thanked him, thinking that the sooner Mosquito Taoist ate, the sooner he would recover, so she didn't delay any longer and plopped down on the ground, continuing to crawl out with her buttocks sticking out.
The Jade Emperor, unable to maintain his composure several times in front of his little niece, softened his expression slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Venus".
A streak of light rushed over and transformed into Li Changgeng, bowing respectfully to the Jade Emperor.
"The minister is here."
The Jade Emperor looked in the direction where they had disappeared and said:
"It's time to teach the remnants of the demon court in the lower realm a lesson."
They need to understand what they can and cannot do.
It wasn't that the Heavenly Court couldn't exterminate all the demons, but rather that it had to give face to the Goddess Nuwa and preserve one lineage.
