[Seeking Monthly Votes]_2 Wang Shan frowned and said,

“I suspect, my lord, that some schemer has deliberately spread rumors aiming to incite discord between you and the Queen Mother of the West, hoping she would target you and make things difficult for you.

“The arrival of the Qingluan divine bird today is no doubt because of this!”

Ningning Mu snickered, and it seemed as if hundreds of flowers bloomed within the surrounding dozens of yards.

She said, “This is no mere rumor, many immortals from the Wanyun Sect heard it themselves, the Queen Mother of the West created an Illusionary Realm and then got scolded by senior brother.”

Having finished speaking, Ningning Mu looked at Li Ping’an with even more admiration and reverence in her eyes.

The four trusted aides, along with Wang Shan, had expressions of stunned disbelief.

Feng Tingzhu asked quietly, “Did you actually scold her?”

Li Ping’an replied, “What else?”

Feng Zhansiang then asked, “Have you truly rejected the temptations of the Queen Mother of the West’s beauty?”

“Don’t put it so crudely, it wasn’t seduction by beauty.

The Queen Mother of the West controls her own power and wouldn’t need to seduce me with beauty,” Li Ping’an said, puffing out his chest with pride before his disciple and lady-wife, unwilling to lose face.

“Everyone spirited up, if the Queen Mother of the West wants to punish me later, I will fight my case on the grounds of reason.

“Though I am not yet truly the Heavenly Emperor, I also can’t afford to lose face before the Queen Mother of the West, otherwise how will I command respect in the future?”

The four trusted aides each nodded, weapons appearing in their hands.

Feng Zhansiang, the strongest among them, moved forward two steps and stood atop the roof eave, ready to react at any moment.

The Qingluan divine bird circled the sky a few times, as the protective city formation slowly opened a gap, allowing the bird and its four maids to descend gradually.

Wang Shan narrowed his eyes.

Originally, he had submitted to Li Ping’an’s authority because of gratitude for clearing pests from the Eastern Alliance and returning the favor, content to serve as a vassal;

But Wang Shan truly had not anticipated that in just a short time, in only a few days, this young man who had been nothing more than an Eastern Alliance minister leapt in status, defeating the Ten Thousand Demons Heaven, and making the Great Vow to attain the position of the Heavenly Emperor, becoming a key figure in the future fate of the Human Race.

Now, he was the only officially recognized vassal of the Heavenly Emperor, and Wang Shan acknowledged that he saw himself more as a literate minister.

Today, he was determined to engage in a verbal duel with the Queen Mother of the West’s wicked servant; should he allow a single unsightly word to be spoken against his lord, then he, Wang Shan, would be truly incompetent!

The four maids descended on beams of light, their beauty captivating the hearts of men and women, young and old alike, as they materialized from the Qingluan bird’s back.

Wang Shan calmed his breath and a confident smile crossed his lips.

Then, one of the immortals said, “On behalf of our mistress, we present these congratulatory gifts to the Heavenly Emperor in celebration of your recent marriage.”

“Ahem!

Ahem, ahem, ahem!”

Wang Shan suddenly looked down, cutting off the rest of his sentence ‘Is that a name you lot can call out willy-nilly?’ and started vigorously coughing, covering his neck.

Li Ping’an quickly patted Wang Shan’s back and looked up with a smile, “Then I thank the Queen Mother of the West very much.”

The four immortals landed in the courtyard, setting down trays they carried in midair.

Then, the four immortals gracefully flew into the sky.

One stopped in midair, turned back with a soft laugh, and said, “My mistress has specially instructed to let the Heavenly Emperor remember that great affairs of heaven and earth take precedence, and to not indulge in pleasure to the detriment of your vital energies…

We waited for a whole day, we were originally supposed to show up yesterday.”

Having said that, the immortal covered her mouth with a gentle laugh, turning back to rejoin the Qingluan bird.

The celestial Qingluan bird spread its wings and flew high, leaving behind gazes from across the city as it gradually disappeared beyond the horizon.

Li Ping’an frowned at the trays left in the courtyard, taking a while to register the four Storage Treasures laid out on them – a bracelet, a hairpin, a ring, and a pendant.

What was the Queen Mother of the West playing at?

“My lord, beware of deceit!” Wang Shan reported with hands clasped:

“According to ancient records of the Human Race, the Queen Mother of the West has always been severe in her dealings.

You just scolded her and caused her to lose face, so there might be a catch hidden in these Storage Treasures.”

Feng Zhansiang casually took a Storage Treasure into her palm and, after inspecting it for a moment, her expression changed slightly.

The other three trusted aides each took a Storage Treasure and scrutinized them carefully, their reactions one of alarm.

Seeing this, Wang Shan gave a slight, knowing lift of his eyebrows.

He was right.

As the first literate minister of the Heavenly Emperor, this was just a basic skill, nothing worth bragging about, nothing at all.

Feng Zhansiang said, “My lord, there are many treasures!”

Feng Tingzhu added, “In here are also some precious fabrics, truly luxurious.

Some of the silks for immortal dresses are of the kind that easily birth spirits, and all look brand new!”

He Xinghe exclaimed, “There are also spirit pills and miraculous medicines!”

He Xinghan declared, “Nothing else but dozens of top-grade Spirit Stones…

Ah?

Dozens!

Top-grade!

This!”

The four trusted aides, as if holding hot potatoes, hastily passed the Storage Treasures back.

Li Ping’an examined them closely and with a wave of his hand, gave the hairpin with various fabrics and immortal dresses to Ningning Mu, who would henceforth be in charge of these affairs, keeping the rest of the treasures for himself.

Start-up funds for the Heavenly Court just got a boost.

As for why the Queen Mother of the West would take the initiative to make amends, Li Ping’an thought little of it.

Wang Shan, standing beside, silently looked up at the sky, then suddenly covered his eyes with his hands and turned to face the corner with tears streaming down his face.

“Hm?

What’s wrong, Immortal Wang?”

“My lord, from now on I would prefer to be a military general.”

“Sure, you can be whatever you like,” Li Ping’an said cheerfully, “Where are Zisang and Qingcheng?”

Feng Zhansiang, the ‘cool short-haired guard,’ slightly curled her lip, “They’ve gone to drink and enjoy flowers.”

Li Ping’an casually wrapped his arm around Ningning Mu’s shoulder, and declared righteously, “How improper!

Henceforth, such matters should not be mentioned before me.

I stand against all evil forces like Drunken Moon Tower, Bright Moon House, and any other corrupt establishments!”
