Chapter 655: Chapter 625: Zhu Ganglie

Even Thousand-Mile Eye, Sharp-Hearing Ear, and Mo Lihai were flabbergasted at this moment; Fairy Chang’e herself felt as if her head was buzzing.

She never dreamed that the issue which had troubled her for countless years would be so nonchalantly solved by a Rabbit.

Yi Zheng, seeing Chang’e motionless, directly ran over, took her by the hand, and guided her to her seat, then snapped his fingers. Several rabbits, each holding a snake and a chicken, walked to the table.

After that, three large rabbits lifted the snakes high, the tails instantly coiled into mosquito-coil-like circles, while the bodies remained straight upward.

The Rabbit placed the snakes on the table, then set the chicken on the snake heads.

With another snap of Yi Zheng’s fingers, the three chickens ignited, and in an instant, the three snakes and chickens became three huge candles, illuminating the entire dining table.

In the sky, chickens ignited with flame and soared upward, akin to streams of meteors, as if a sky filled with Kong Ming lanterns.

The splendor of that instant was close to primitive beauty, moving Chang’e to tears. She bit her thin lips, looking at the Rabbit in front of her, grinning ear to ear, waving chopsticks: "Thank you, thank you..."

Yi Zheng chuckled, "Why be so courteous with me? From now on, we must rely on each other in this desolate place."

Outside the South Heavenly Gate, Mo Lihai glanced back at the half-eaten roast chicken and two plates of peanuts on his own table, then at the feast on the Rabbit and Chang’e’s table, grinding his teeth: "They call that relying on each other? What do we call this then?"

Thousand-Mile Eye responded, "You call that fending for yourselves."

Mo Liqing, Mo Lihong, Mo Lishou: "..."

Sharp-Hearing Ear waved his hand, "Enough, don’t look anymore. Looking any further will make me jealous.

Missed the fun, just got a belly full of anger.

Let’s go, let’s go..."

Thousand-Mile Eye started to put away the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth, Mo Lihai was also greatly disappointed, but he wasn’t giving up just yet: "This isn’t over yet.

Originally, when Queen Mother banished Chang’e to the Taiyin Star, it was to make her suffer hardships, not to enjoy luxuries. I have to report this..."

Just as Mo Lihai was about to leave, Sharp-Hearing Ear chuckled:, "Mo Lihai, think it over clearly.

If you go tattling, can you bear the consequences?

Watching the fun is one thing, but if you really take action, who can you handle?

Fairy Chang’e may not be very strong, but there are no less than a thousand, if not eight hundred, immortals who admire her, especially that pig on Spirit Mountain.

If he learns that you’ve laid a hand on Chang’e, do you think he wouldn’t come over with that monkey and give you another thrashing?"

Mo Lihai, recalling the terror of being dominated by the monkey, shook his head repeatedly: "I have no conflict with Fairy Chang’e, why would I trouble her?"

Sharp-Hearing Ear said, "Then you still want to go and complain to the Queen Mother?"

Thousand-Mile Eye added, "Think about it, that Rabbit was sent by the Queen Mother. If he does something against the rules, don’t you think it might be with the Queen Mother’s instruction?

Even if it’s not, the Rabbit has the Queen Mother of the West backing him. If things really escalate, and he calls her out, even the Queen Mother would have to give her some face, right?

The two Madams wouldn’t fight each other, but someone will have to take the brunt of the anger.

Guess who that will be?"

At those words, Mo Lihai shivered and quickly said, "I... just said it in anger just now. How could I possibly take action against Fairy Chang’e and the Rabbit? Let’s not spread rumors."

"Spread rumors? I, Brother Zhu, heard everything loud and clear!"

Just then, a rough voice echoed from behind the group.

Their hearts chilled, thinking, "Damn, it can’t be that guy!"

They slowly turned around to see a giant demon with the head of a pig standing behind them.

"Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy?" the group cried out almost in unison.

"Pah! I’m no longer the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, I am the Purification Envoy. My old friends, just now, who was it that mentioned harming Chang’e?" Zhu Ganglie approached, staring intently at Mo Lihai.

Mo Lihai wasn’t a pushover, but this pig-headed creature was once the renowned Water Army Marshal, mighty in strength. After his time at Spirit Mountain, where Buddhism and Taoism were unified, his power reached an even higher level!

So, although Zhu Ganglie had left Spirit Mountain and no longer held an official position, and he was a deity of the Heavenly Court, they still did not dare to offend him.

Mo Lihai whined, "No one, nobody said they would harm Chang’e. I was thinking about going after that rabbit who ventured to the Taiyin Star."

Zhu Ganglie snorted, "As if you would dare. The rabbit you’re talking about, isn’t it the one chosen in the recent Jade Rabbit selection?"

Mo Lihai quickly nodded, "Of course, it’s that very one. Besides her, which other rabbit on earth would be so bothersome?"

Zhu Ganglie curled his lip, "Who says there isn’t? At least two!"

Mo Lihai smacked his lips, and in the end, didn’t dare to argue further, since he couldn’t afford to provoke either of those two.

"You two chat, we are going to take off, haha." Thousand-Mile Eye gave Sharp-Hearing Ear a look, and the two of them immediately prepared to retreat.

However, Zhu Ganglie raised his hand to stop the two from leaving.

Thousand-Mile Eye said, "Zhu Ganglie, we have no grudge against you, and we have nothing to discuss, so there’s no need to stop us, is there?"

Zhu Ganglie leaned in, "No grudge? Wasn’t it a moment ago that you guys used the Universal Mirror to spy on Fairy Chang’e?"

Thousand-Mile Eye’s face darkened, cursing internally, "Bah! You pig-headed bastard, ’your’ Chang’e? Shameless creature!"

But Thousand-Mile Eye still said, "No, we were observing that rabbit."

Zhu Ganglie snorted, "No matter what you were looking at, I have one request, let me take a look through the Universal Mirror."

"That’s out of the question! This treasure is entrusted to us brothers by the Jade Emperor to oversee the Three Realms..." Thousand-Mile Eye firmly refused.

This pig had a bad reputation back in the day, following the Monkey King on the journey to retrieve the scriptures, and who knew what skills he learned from the monkey—if he learned the monkey’s knack for borrowing and never returning, they would be in deep trouble.

Zhu Ganglie snorted coldly, "Oh really? You do realize this is a treasure for monitoring the Three Realms, yet you used it to peep at Fairy Chang’e! I’m going straight to the Palace of the Polestar to file a complaint!"

Upon hearing this, Thousand-Mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear became anxious.

Indeed, they had spied on Chang’e, which was a misuse of public property. It wouldn’t have been a big deal, but if word got out, it sure would become one.

At the very least, they’d be stripped of their positions. At worst, they’d be dragged to the God Execution Platform for a few slashes, dying a few times, which would be a huge loss indeed.

Sharp-Hearing Ear immediately tried to appease him with a smile, "Brother Zhu, listen to you. Back when you were in the Heavenly Court, we even drank together. It’s just a matter of using the Universal Mirror to take a look over there, right? We agree, no problem at all."

Thousand-Mile Eye hesitated, but Sharp-Hearing Ear kicked him, prompting him to reluctantly pull out the Universal Mirror, "Agreed then, okay? You can look, but you’re not allowed to touch!"

He was truly frightened of the former Monkey King, who was notorious for stealing, taking, and borrowing with no intention of returning—a reputation that preceded him.

Zhu Ganglie snorted, "I’m a Purification Envoy from Spirit Mountain; would I steal your things? Hurry up, let me see my Sister Chang’e."

Thousand-Mile Eye and Sharp-Hearing Ear activated the Universal Mirror once more, and a beam of golden light pierced the void, descending upon the Taiyin Star.
