Chapter 2732 - 2731: Zhu Bajie Comes to Beg

Chapter 2732: Chapter 2731: Zhu Bajie Comes to Beg

Long Fei, feeling quite bored, wielded the stick he had painstakingly forged into a magical weapon, yet found no one to test it on.

He called Little Taisui out from the Peach Forest, intending to experiment on the little fellow.

This guy has an immortal body; even if killed, he could revive.

But as soon as the little thing poked its head out and sensed trouble, without a word, it immediately fled.

Earlier, when Long Fei was beating Little Kirin and the others, Little Taisui hid in the dark, watching clearly.

Long Fei sighed in frustration, wondering if there was something wrong with the feng shui on Liangshan Island, causing these guys to become so clever like monkeys.

He put away the stick, unable to find anyone on Liangshan Island, thinking of going out to find someone to test.

At this time, a disciple came to report, saying that a big-nosed, pig-headed fellow calling himself Marshal Tianpeng’s Pig Demon had come to seek an audience.

Long Fei raised his eyebrow, pondering how Zhu Bajie came here just after breaking ties with Sun Wukong?

He had Zhu Bajie brought up, and as soon as this sneaky pig arrived, he glanced around, staring nonstop at the Peach Garden on the mountain.

Long Fei arranged tea in the bamboo forest, welcoming him over, "Marshal Tianpeng, what brings you to my humble island?"

Zhu Bajie sat down, chuckling with Long Fei, "Emperor, your Peach Trees here could rival the Peach Garden of the Heavenly Court. When I was in the Heavenly Court, I never heard of soil suitable for growing Peach Trees underground."

Long Fei poured him tea, saying, "Is Marshal Tianpeng visiting today to tour my Peach Garden?"

Zhu Bajie shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, I’m here on important business. I need the Emperor’s assistance in a small matter."

Long Fei raised his eyebrows, "Your senior brother has immense power, why not seek him? Why come to me?"

Zhu Bajie sipped his tea, waving his hand, "Emperor, you don’t know. My senior brother has been coming and going without a trace lately, I can’t find him at all. I just went to Flower Fruit Mountain, the monkeys there said he went out for a while and no one knows where he is. I’ve got no choice but to come to you for help. Rest assured, I won’t make you work for nothing. I’ve been the Cleansing Altar Envoy for the Western Direction all these years and have acquired quite a few benefits. If the Emperor helps me, I can offer any price."

Long Fei laughed, "I have ties with you and your master, why talk about money? If you have difficulties, feel free to speak. If I can help, I won’t turn my back."

"The Emperor is righteous!"

Zhu Bajie gave a thumbs up, glanced around, and whispered, "Actually, it’s not me who needs help, but a friend of mine. You surely know her, she lives up in the Moon Palace."

"You’re talking about Chang’e?"

Long Fei was a bit surprised.

Zhu Bajie quickly lowered his hand, "Quiet down, I don’t want outsiders to know about this. You understand, Fairy Chang’e cares most about her reputation. If people knew I was helping her, it would certainly bring shame to her."

Long Fei chuckled, "So she didn’t ask for your help, but you’re volunteering it?"

Zhu Bajie said, "You could say so; she didn’t ask me, but I can see she needs me. A woman, when something happens, always needs a man to rely on, right?"

Long Fei understood that this fellow was being self-infatuated, offering help unsolicited.

Zhu Bajie does not mind losing face, but Long Fei can’t afford it!

He said to Zhu Bajie, "Marshal Tianpeng, you’d better investigate this matter clearly first. If she didn’t ask for aid, it’s improper to go abruptly. As you said, it would bring shame to Fairy Chang’e as well. Why not confirm first, and if she agrees, I’ll go along."

Zhu Bajie hurriedly said, "There’s no time. With my going and coming, who knows what may happen in the Moon Palace. Emperor, I’m begging you. For the sake of my deep passion for Chang’e, help me, please!"

He disregarded his dignity, kneeling before Long Fei.

Long Fei said speechlessly, "Back home, we’d call your kind a ’bootlicker.’ Bootlickers always end up empty-handed!"

Zhu Bajie said, "Bootlicker or not, it’s better than being single. I understand what you’re saying; for Fairy Chang’e, I’m willing to do anything. As long as she says the word, becoming a pig or dog is no problem for me!"

Long Fei was actually moved by his passionate zeal, raising his hand to help him up, "Stand up first, and I promise to help you, alright?"

Zhu Bajie happily laughed, "I knew the Emperor was loyal, let’s hurry and leave!"

He grabbed Long Fei’s arm, ready to depart.

Long Fei asked him, "You should first tell me what’s happening, right?"

Zhu Bajie anxiously replied, "It’s a long story, I’ll explain on the way!"

Afraid Long Fei might back out, he pulled him along to set off.

The two left in flight, speeding towards the Lunar Star Region where Chang’e resided.

On the way, Zhu Bajie roughly explained the situation.

It turns out, strange events have recently occurred in the Lunar Star Region.

The originally cold and bitter Lunar Star, after a major tremor, has revealed a massive, bottomless crack.

The crack emits icy, bone-chilling cold, occasionally accompanied by howling sounds.

Since this crack appeared, batches of mysterious people arrived at the Lunar Star.

They all seem interested in investigating the crack, as if there’s some treasure to be found below.

Chang’e, who governs the Lunar Star, initially stopped some intruders.

But as strangers increased, she could no longer resist.

She reported to the Jade Emperor, who ordered the Witch Tribe to deploy troops to guard the place.

Thousands of Witch Tribe soldiers came to defend, yet strangers kept coming to harass and even clashed with them.

Deaths and injuries occurred repeatedly on the Lunar Star, causing numerous eyes to fix upon it, as if something monumental was brewing.

Zhu Bajie worried about Chang’e’s safety but knew he couldn’t protect her alone given his current abilities as a Buddhist Sect member, hence turning to Long Fei for help.

Initially, Long Fei thought this matter boring but perked up after hearing Zhu Bajie’s explanation.

This Lunar Ancient Star is extraordinary; just like Taihua Star, they existed since the Ancient Era.

There are Star Envoys working every day, recording time, and continuously orbiting the Immortal Realm Continent.

Entering this Star Domain, disrupted by the moonlight energy, made one feel a chilling cold.

Unlike mundane sun and moon transformations, these stars are true Ancient Era celestial bodies formed after the creation of the heavens and earth.

With inherent lunar radiance, they aren’t mere small satellites reflecting Taihua Radiance.

Zhu Bajie led Long Fei to Lunar Ancient Star, shocked to find the area in front of the Moon Palace crowded.

These cultivators varied in apparel, all seemingly possessing extraordinary cultivation levels, incessantly shouting before the Moon Palace, "Fairy Chang’e, do not fear, we will protect you."

"Fairy Chang’e, come out, at least choose someone among us to be your bodyguard!"

"Fairy Chang’e, I won’t marry anyone but you. My life is yours. If anyone dares offend you, just give the word, and I’ll be the first to kill them!"

"..."

Listening for a while from the back, Long Fei finally understood.

These people were like Zhu Bajie, a gang of bootlickers here seizing the chance to suck up to Chang’e!
