Chapter 66

After arriving on the moon, Marshal Tianpeng suddenly felt bored. It turned out that the moon was not as beautiful as he had imagined. Not only was the climate harsh, but it was also full of hills and strange rocks, and there wasn't even a single green plant to be seen. This trip was truly a waste of time.

Feeling extremely disappointed, Marshal Tianpeng was about to leave when he suddenly saw a crystal-like palace built on a nearby plain.

"Could that be the Guanghan Palace?" Marshal Tianpeng suddenly remembered some rumors from the Heavenly Court. It was said that Chang'e, the wife of the ancient great witch Houyi, after stealing and consuming the elixir, ascended to the Guanghan Palace. But he wasn't sure if it was the same place.

"The rumors say that Chang'e of the Moon Palace is the most beautiful woman in the three realms. I should go and see her," Marshal Tianpeng thought. He no longer hurried to leave but instead wandered over to the Guanghan Palace.

The Guanghan Palace seemed to be carved from ice, everything was crystal clear and exquisitely beautiful. Seeing such a magnificent palace, Marshal Tianpeng felt that the trip was not in vain. However, he was even more eager to meet Chang'e. What would the fairy who lived in such a beautiful palace look like? She must be incredibly beautiful!

...

Looking at the woman in front of him, dressed in a white gauze dress, Marshal Tianpeng almost forgot to breathe.

From her appearance, she looked no more than 30 years old, and she radiated a stunning beauty. Her beauty was not that of a young girl but was filled with a cold and proud elegance, like the bright and clear moon in the sky. But upon closer inspection, the woman before him was both ethereal and transcendent, like a delicate orchid in a secluded valley, noble and pure like the stars and the moon. For a moment, he couldn't tell which was the real her.

Every glance and every smile of hers was filled with the charm of a peerless beauty, making it impossible to look away, and he wanted to keep looking at her forever.

"Who are you?" Chang'e asked, not showing any panic but remaining very calm.

"Are you Chang'e, the fairy?" Marshal Tianpeng, though already certain that the woman before him was Chang'e, was in a daze, not knowing what he was saying or doing.

Chang'e nodded, confirming her identity, and then asked, "Who are you? Do you know that the Guanghan Palace cannot be entered without permission?"

"I am Marshal Tianpeng, in charge of the ten thousand water troops of the Heavenly River. I have long heard that you are the most beautiful woman in the three realms. Today, seeing you, I find that your beauty surpasses the rumors. The title of the most beautiful woman in the three realms is well-deserved," Marshal Tianpeng said.

In the Heavenly Court, at the residence of Tai Bai Jin Xing (Venus).

After introducing the life of Emperor Ziwēi, Tai Bai Jin Xing said to Yang Zhen, "Brother, do you remember the last time Kuimulang sought revenge on you?"

"Of course!" Yang Zhen replied, "Kuimulang, though a bit rash, was still a true man. But Kuimulang has already entered the cycle of rebirth, and I don't know when I will see him again."

"Ha ha!" Tai Bai Jin Xing laughed, "Brother, you have been in the Heavenly Court for eight months, which is 240 years in the Earth Immortal Realm. Kuimulang returned to the Heavenly Court a hundred years ago, but you were in seclusion, and Kuimulang was investigating his brother's case, so you two haven't met."

"Is that so!" Yang Zhen nodded.

Looking at Yang Zhen, Tai Bai Jin Xing said, "Not long ago, Kuimulang discovered that the one who caused the four star lords to lose their souls was Emperor Ziwēi. However, Kuimulang has some clues but not enough evidence to accuse Emperor Ziwēi. Kuimulang has already reported this to the Jade Emperor, and once the truth is revealed, the culprit will be punished!"

Hearing this, Yang Zhen smiled, "Isn't that perfect? Is this the big matter you mentioned?"

Tai Bai Jin Xing sighed, "Yes, it is!"

Standing up from his seat, Tai Bai Jin Xing explained, "Brother, you may not know, but Emperor Ziwēi has great influence in the Heavenly Court. Many gods secretly follow his orders, and we don't know if there are hidden forces in the Earth Immortal Realm. This matter seems to be on our side, but if not handled properly, the entire Heavenly Court could be overturned."

"What does the Jade Emperor plan to do about this?" Yang Zhen asked.

"The Jade Emperor will, of course, follow the heavenly laws and handle the matter fairly," Tai Bai Jin Xing said with righteousness.

"But if the Jade Emperor does this, it will cause chaos in the Heavenly Court. Is it worth it?" Yang Zhen smiled.

Hearing this, Tai Bai Jin Xing did not answer Yang Zhen but continued, "Brother, your cultivation and abilities are extraordinary. If you can assist the Jade Emperor, our strength will greatly increase. Even if Emperor Ziwēi's influence is strong, we will not fear and can punish the one who harmed his colleagues on the spot."

"And you have already started to weaken Emperor Ziwēi's influence in secret, haven't you?" Yang Zhen thought.

"So..." Tai Bai Jin Xing continued, "Brother, the future of the Heavenly Court, the three realms, and the primordial chaos all depend on your choice. You have met the Jade Emperor, and he is indeed a qualified emperor. Under his rule, the three realms have been peaceful for many years. If someone else were in his position, they might not be as good."

Understanding Tai Bai Jin Xing's purpose, Yang Zhen fell into deep thought.

Indeed, the Jade Emperor was the most suitable to govern the three realms. First, his cultivation was not high, which would not constrain those with great abilities, which was what Yang Zhen needed. Second, the current Jade Emperor was not overly powerful, and this war with Emperor Ziwēi was forced by circumstances. Lastly, Yang Zhen was promoted by the Jade Emperor and already bore the Jade Emperor's mark. If Yang Zhen wanted to stay in the Heavenly Court, he had to assist the Jade Emperor.

If Yang Zhen did not act, whether the Jade Emperor won or lost, it would not benefit him.

Seeing that Yang Zhen was silent for a long time, Tai Bai Jin Xing said, "Brother, I will take you to see someone."

"Who?" Yang Zhen came back to his senses and asked.

"Kuimulang!"

In the Moon Palace.

In the past, Marshal Tianpeng would have used his powers to evaporate the alcohol in his body to avoid being impolite in front of a beautiful woman. But today, Marshal Tianpeng seemed like a different person, acting like a lecher, constantly using words to flirt with Chang'e. Although Chang'e's expression was becoming increasingly displeased, Marshal Tianpeng, under the influence of alcohol, found her even more beautiful.

In a daze, Marshal Tianpeng felt a bit blurry, and he vaguely saw Chang'e waving to him, calling him over.

With such a peerless beauty present, and under the influence of alcohol... perhaps also some drugs, Marshal Tianpeng finally couldn't resist and lunged at Chang'e.

"Rude!" Chang'e, seeing Marshal Tianpeng's audacity, scolded him angrily.

But at that moment, Marshal Tianpeng couldn't hear Chang'e. He felt that Chang'e was playing hide-and-seek with him, as if calling him to catch her, and every move she made was filled with allure.

He chuckled, swaying as he tried to catch Chang'e, and said, "Fairy, don't run so fast! I can't catch you! Wait for me!"
