In front of the Moon Palace.
Li Changshou controlled the paper effigy with white eyebrows and white hair that had the appearance of Taibai Jinxing. He looked at Bian Zhuang, who was hanging at the back of the hall with a swollen face and a weak aura. He thought about the situation that Long Ji had told him on the way and smiled bitterly.
Long Jiâs identity was sensitive. It was not appropriate for her to appear again. She returned to the Jade Pool to wait for news.
In the end, Bian Zhuang fell for women.
He thought that even if the immortals of the Heavenly Courts were not elegant people, they should have some bottom lineâŚ
In the end, he had overestimated and believed wrongly.
Kill him. Heâs hopeless.
It was not impossible to change the calamity of Journey to the West. At that moment, he could still nurture a new Second Senior Brother. After all, his main body was the Nine-Toothed Harrow.
In the hall, the fairies who had originally gathered around Bian Zhuang had already lined up and bowed to Li Changshou.
âGreetings, Lord Taibai Jinxing.â
Although he had already understood the general situation, Li Changshou still had to follow the procedures and ask, âWhat happened? Why did General Bian hang up?â
The fairies were indignant. A few leaders immediately stood up and spoke about what had happened.
There was a forbidden area behind the Moon Palace that would only be opened when there were no male immortals on the Moon Planet. It was called the Moon Essence Pool.
Normally, these fairies liked to dress up beside the Moon Essence Pool. They would soak their immortal bodies in the dense Immortal Mist Spirit Water and chat about the latest gossip and interesting matters of the Heavenly Courts.
Today, Bian Zhuang had secretly entered the Moon Essence Pool.
The plot was very serious and the nature was very bad. It was no longer a crime to be a pig. He was really going to die.
Li Changshouâs expression quickly turned cold.
âThis Bian Zhuang is so bold?â
âLord Taibai Jinxing, we know that General Bian is your beloved general, but this is absolutely true.â
A fairy said angrily, âIf I didnât know that Bian Zhuang had entered the Tushita Palace and was your right-hand man, Lord Taibai Jinxing, I would have killed him today!â
Li Changshou frowned and asked, âIs there a victim?â
âLord Taibai Jinxing, there were more than ten sisters in the Moon Essence Pool at that time. However, the Moon Essence Pool was surrounded by restrictions personally set up by the Moon Lord. General Bian stepped into the restriction and was very close to the pool.â
Li Changshou nodded slowly and frowned.
Without the victim, this matter would be even more troublesome. Today, Bian Zhuang could only die to apologize.
Are you going to take responsibility for a girl after seeing her bathe?
Isnât that the behavior of the Earth Elemental Sun?
If there was a clear victim, he would directly punish Bian Zhuang severely and beat him to death. Then, he would wipe out Bian Zhuangâs memories and even reduce them to the mortal world and cripple his cultivation. He could not only keep Bian Zhuang alive, but also protect the dignity of the Heavenly Courts.
However, without the victim, it meant that the entire Moon Palace and the fairies who had used the Moon Essence Pool were the victims.
This matter did not seem serious enough to kill anyone, but it was actually related to the Heavenly Courts.
At that moment, the Heavenly Courts was rising the night before. It was just a few hundred years before the God roll would return. Then, the Heavenly Courts would prosper and become the authority that maintained the stability of the Three Realms.
At this juncture, the Qi Refinement cultivators were naturally very concerned about the Heavenly Courts.
No matter what negative rumors the Heavenly Courts had, they would be completely magnified.
Bian Zhuang was the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy. Although his rank was not high, his identity was complicated. Due to the copper mirrorâs live broadcast system, he was extremely famous in the Heavenly Courts.
If the immortals who peeped on women continued to work in the Heavenly Courts, the reputation of the Heavenly Courts would probably be destroyedâŚ
Now, half of the good situation had to be destroyed because of this matter.
There would be endless trouble.
Li Changshou took two steps forward with a solemn expression. With a flash, the paper effigy appeared in front of Bian Zhuang and asked coldly, âDid you really barge in?â
Bian Zhuangdaoâs heart trembled. âI seem to have barged in, but Lord Taibai Jinxing! Before I woke up, I only remembered that I was drinking with a few good friends!â
Li Changshouâs eyes were like lightning, as if he wanted to see through Bian Zhuangâs Dao heart.
Bian Zhuang tried his best to look at Li Changshou.
He knew very well that only Taibai Jinxing could save him.
I was really drunk previously. After I woke up, my mind was empty. I donât know why I appeared in the Moon Essence Pool.
Bian Zhuang knew very well that there was no way to explain the fact that he had fallen in love with another male immortal.
Li Changshou closed his eyes and focused. He suddenly realized that this matter might not be simple.
He said, âChangâe, listen up. Move a long table and chair over to make an interrogation hall. Then, send someone to the Hall of Enlightenment to invite the two righteous gods on duty. Call Changâe of the Moon Palace, who is paying attention to this matter. Today, I will interrogate Bian Zhuang here. After the investigation, I will punish him severely!â
Bian Zhuang lowered his head and remained silent. His eyes were filled with regret.
The fairies were overjoyed when they heard that. They bowed and agreed before quickly splitting up.
Soon, Li Changshou, General Dongmu, and Elder Moon sat behind a long table.
Bian Zhuang, who was wrapped in layers of chains, was kneeling weakly below. At that moment, not only was he covered in injuries, but he also did not dare to look up.
Li Changshou clapped his hands and the fairies around him snorted in unison.
Bian Zhuang trembled a few times. He wanted to look up but did not dare to.
General Dongmu asked, âIs the person kneeling below the Deputy Commander of the Heavenly River Navy, Bian Zhuang?â
Elder Moon, who was on the other side of Li Changshou, asked calmly, âAre you the one who barged into the Moon Palaceâs Moon Essence Pool?â
Bian Zhuangâs Adamâs apple trembled a few times. His dark-green eyelids were also trembling. The corners of his swollen mouth were opened with all his might, revealing the two missing front teeth.
âHowever, I really donât know why I appeared in the Moon Palace!â
âAlright, weâve solved the case.â
Elder Moon waved his hand and grabbed the wooden sign beside him with a black face. He threw it at Bian Zhuang.
Bian Zhuang trembled. The fairies beside him were clearly stunned. They did not expect the problem to be so serious.
Li Changshou and General Dongmu turned to look at Elder Moon.
Elder Moon rolled up his sleeves and gritted his teeth.
âWhy should I keep it if I donât kill it!?! He is not serious all day long. He falls in love with another fairy as soon as he sees her! He even claimed that he had a pair of eyes that were good at discovering beauty! I have to cut the red string for him every ten days or half a month. When I stack the red string, I will make more than a hundred wedding robes! He finally cannot control the pervert in his Dao heart. He actually dared to spy on the place where Changâe was bathing in the Moon Palace! What a bastard!â
General Dongmu looked at Li Changshouâs expression and hurriedly said,
âElder Moon, what we want to investigate today is the matter of General Bian accidentally barging into the Moon Essence Pool Pool. It has nothing to do with what happened previously.â
The fairies immediately looked at General Dongmu with aggrieved expressions.
They were not stupid. They naturally knew that General Dongmuâs âmistake of barging inâ was to absolve Bian Zhuang.
Elder Moon finally reacted. He seemed to have overstepped his boundaries and was too radical.
There was no choice. Before this bastard came to the Heavenly Courts, he was already too angry.
Elder Moon pondered for a while and said, âGeneral Dongmu, youâre right. I was too arbitrary.â
General Dongmu smiled and said, âWhy donât you listen to what General Bian Zhuang has to say?â
Li Changshou nodded slowly and looked down.
âBian Zhuang, do you have anything to say?â
âI really donât know why Iâm hereâŚâ
Bian Zhuang lowered his head and sighed. He tried his best to recall. Most of the alcohol smell on his body had dissipated.
After a long while, he whispered, âLord Taibai Jinxing, I have discredited you and the Heavenly Courts. I donât dare to say that I have fallen into someoneâs trap. What happened today is already a foregone conclusion. There is no way to explain it. The Moon Palace is where the Changâe of the Heavenly Courts cultivate and dance. The Heavenly Courts has a complete set of Heavenly rules. My appearance in the Moon Essence Pool, which is the most forbidden, is embarrassing the generals of the Heavenly Courts. Iâm willing to accept the punishment. Even if I lose this Deity Position and lose the Deity Position grade, Iâll accept being reduced to a Heavenly Armament. However, there is one thing. Itâs true that Iâm a lustful person, but Iâm morally upright!â
Bian Zhuang shouted, âIf I were conscious, I would never do such a shameless thing!â
The corners of Li Changshouâs mouth twitched.
No, you can really do it.
He did not know which fellow had joined the group of spider spirits bathing on the journey to the west thousands of years laterâŚ
Li Changshou said directly, âIf you accept the punishment directly, you will be convicted for trespassing the Moon Essence Pool and having ill intentions. You canât escape death today. Itâs not a small matter like losing your position and being demoted. The Heavenly Courts is the model of the Three Realms. They cannot tolerate immortals who have such vile actions. Otherwise, how can he restrain the living beings in the world? Think about it carefully. Iâll have to trouble General Dongmu to find the few people who had been drinking with Bian Zhuang previously⌠Forget it, General Dongmu, donât move. Leader Changâe, take my jade token and bring the Heavenly Soldiers to investigate!â
As he spoke, Li Changshou threw out three Tai Bai Palace jade talismans. The female leaders agreed softly and left in a hurry with their tokens.
Seeing that General Dongmu was about to say something, Li Changshou said calmly,
âInvestigate this matter. If Bian Zhuang is really drunk and reckless, punish him severely.
If Bian Zhuang was framed and could not be caught, he would be severely punished.
The Heavenly Courts cannot suffer any losses.â
Bian Zhuangâs expression was rather gloomy. He knelt there and his hands trembled.
In the Moon Palace, the atmosphere gradually became oppressive.
The news that the fairies and Heavenly Soldiers were investigating the Heavenly Courts quickly spread and became more and more lively.
Everyone in the Heavenly Courts knew that Bian Zhuang was Li Changshouâs confidant.
After creating such a scandal, many immortals and immortals naturally came to observe. However, they only investigated from afar and did not dare to get involved in this mess.
The first to rush over was Ao Yi, who had returned to the East Ocean.
Ao Yi maintained his dragon form and flew into the Lunar Star. He was furious and jumped to Bian Zhuangâs side in a few steps.
After revealing his human form, Ao Yi raised his leg and kicked Bian Zhuang to the ground. He gritted his teeth and cursed, âYou have embarrassed Brother Sect Master!â
Bian Zhuang smiled bitterly and lay on the ground. He closed his eyes and sighed.
Ao Yi turned around and faced the three righteous gods. He knelt on one knee and cupped his fists with both hands.
âSect Master, Lord Taibai Jinxing, General Dongmu, Elder Moon! Bian Zhuang has worked with me for many years. Although he usually doesnât say anything, he is definitely not an evil person. He also does not do anything frivolous to the fairies. There might be a misunderstanding. Please investigate.â
Li Changshou closed his eyes and said, âGo and stand at the side. This matter is not as simple as you think.â
It was not difficult to investigate this matter. It was difficult for others to believe the person who appeared.
Ao Yi was stunned. He turned to look at Bian Zhuang and the surrounding fairies.
Although the little dragon was not experienced enough and did not know what was going on, he did not ask further. He quickly stood up and went to the side to stand quietly.
Li Changshou continued, âBefore the matter is investigated, anyone who pleads for Bian Zhuang will receive 30 Thunder Whips from the Heaven Punishment Hall. Summon a group of troops to guard the Moon Palace. Only Changâe from the Moon Palace are allowed to enter.â
In the Moon Palace, the atmosphere became as oppressive as before.
Another hour later, Ling Zhuzi rushed over on a cloud with the young girl, Yu Tu, beside him.
However, they were stopped by the Heavenly Soldiers. They could only watch outside the hall with the righteous gods of the Heavenly Courts.
Yu Tu rolled her eyes and bit Ling Zhuziâs ear a few times. Her slender but unusually strong leg kicked and her beautiful figure quickly disappeared.
In the Lingxiao Hall, the Jade Emperor watched this scene and frowned slightly.
It was not appropriate for him and his incarnations to appear now. They could only leave everything to Changgeng.
If Bian Zhuang was really drunk and causing trouble, he would most likely arrange for Bian Zhuang to be reincarnated to protect the authority of the Heavenly Courts.
However, Bian Zhuang was involved in the Immortal AllianceâŚ
Old Madam Bian had a high prestige in the Immortal Alliance. Bian Zhuang was her only beloved grandsonâŚ
This matter was really troublesome.
The Heavenly Courts had been peaceful for more than a hundred years. Suddenly, such a thing happened. Everything was strange.
âGeneral Bian is drinking with me. Moreover, we are drunk. What did General Bian say previously? I canât remember⌠General Bian did tell us that he had nothing to do even when he barged into the Moon Palace, but he was just boasting after drinking.â
âLord Taibai Jinxing, I know Bian Zhuangâs personality very well. Heâs not that kind of person. He must have been secretly harmed!â
âDeputy Commander Bian drank with us for half a month. Everyone was drunk. There were two batches of guests at the banquet. Deputy Commander Bian left half a day ago. Our banquet has yet to endâŚâ
In the Moon Palace, more than ten low-level Heavenly Courtsâ young gods who had been drinking at the same table as Bian Zhuang spoke their âtestimonyâ one after another.
When Bian Zhuang was drinking, he had indeed boasted that he had many close friends in the Moon Palace. It was not difficult for him to enter and leave the Moon Palace.
When men are drunk, they tend to brag.
However, Bian Zhuangâs words became fatal testimony.
The situation was developing in the worst direction. Bian Zhuang almost had no chance of turning the tables.
When he was drunk, he barged into the Moon Palace and crashed into the restrictions around the Moon Essence Pool. He wanted to peep at more than ten Changâe bathingâŚ
If it were a mortal drunkard from the South Continent, most of them would be captured and beaten up.
It was a huge crime for the immortals of the Heavenly Courts and the deputy commanders of the Heavenly River to do it.
The Great God-Conferment Tribulation was not far away. Many eyes were staring at the Heavenly Courts.
Li Changshou raised his hand and supported his forehead. He was indeed good at scheming. At that moment, he had already smelled all kinds of strange things. However, he could not do anything.
As long as he did anything other than interrogating, he would be treated as protecting his trusted aide.
Soon, he had asked everything he needed to ask and said everything he needed to say.
Li Changshou looked at the gloomy Bian Zhuang and sighed softly. In the end, he could not bear it and gave him a chance.
âBian Zhuang, what else do you have to say?â
Bian Zhuang raised his hand and slapped himself. He opened his mouth and smiled bitterly.
âI have let you down, Lord Taibai Jinxing. Please forgive me for disturbing the fairies. Iâm willing to sacrifice my life.â
General Dongmu said, âDeputy Commander Bian, you have to think carefully! I canât let my emotions affect my decisions. I know how you are. Youâre actually quite honest. Are you really here to challenge the Moon Palaceâs Moon Essence Pool because of your lust?â
Bian Zhuangâs lips trembled a few times. He stood up, and the chains on his body rang. The surrounding fairies subconsciously took half a step back.
âIâve never coveted it so much!â
Bian Zhuang shouted with a trembling voice, âWhat Iâm pursuing is the truth and beauty of the world. I have the habit of loving every one of them. However, every time, I would throw the passion that I had for the past few days and hours into this relationship that would definitely end without a problem. The more I fought, the more courageous I became. I never slacked off! Love between a man and a woman is extremely sacred to me! I yearn for it! Why would I do such a despicable thing as peeping at fairies bathing? If I were really that greedy and wretched, how would I be able to protect pure Yang now!?! My grandmother is the pavilion master of the World Edge Pavilion!â
Li Changshou frowned. Elder Moonâs eyes were filled with disbelief. General Dongmu, who was at the side, nodded emotionally.
General Dongmu said, âThe World Edge Pavilion is a famous temporary love tribulation experience in the Primordial World. Bian Zhuang is indeed the Young Pavilion Master. Now, General Bian still has a mouthful of True Yang and is still a Primordial Immortal. Itâs enough to prove his character. â
âThis cannot convince the public.â
Li Changshou said coldly and looked around. âThe Heavenly Courts has a complete Heavenly Law. If the Heavenly Courts canât even govern themselves, they will not be able to convince the living beings of the Three Realms. After that, I will naturally report to the Jade Emperor. However, today, I have to give the Moon Palace an explanation and the Heavenly Rules an explanation. Bian Zhuang, Iâm asking you one last time. Do you know what youâve done wrong?â
âLord Taibai Jinxing, Bian Zhuang has troubled you! Bian Zhuangzhi!â
Suddenly, he heard a soft voice. Bian Zhuangâs words were interrupted. Li Changshouâs frown suddenly relaxed.
It was already night outside the hall. The Moon laurel tree emitted a faint jade glow, and the moon was enshrouded in pure white light.
The fairy who spoke appeared out of thin air outside the hall and slowly walked over.
Her skin was snow-white, her face was drop-dead gorgeous, and her slender figure was almost perfect. There was no exaggeration or flaw.
It was as if her existence was to define the upper limit of the gentle beauty in the Three Realms.
The world used its own creation to tell countless living beings that beauties should be like that.
It was none other thanâŚ
The immortals of the Moon Palace turned pale. Only then did they know that the immortal had arrived.
Bian Zhuang looked at that scene in a daze. His throat made a sound.
The Heavenly Soldiers, Heavenly Generals, and Immortal Gods near the Moon Palace lowered their heads. The fairies in the hall bowed. Even Elder Moon wanted to stand up and call him Lord Star Lord.
She was naturally the legitimate god of the Heavenly Courts, the number one beauty of the Three Realms, the daughter of the Human Emperor, the disciple of Senior Lang, the current Moon Lord, Fairy Hengâe.
She was dressed in an immortal dress and was extremely beautiful. She was holy, elegant, and not tacky at all.
As she spoke, she was still in the Glacial Palace. When she finished speaking, she was already in front of the Moon Palace.
This Cosmic mystical ability made those who knew what was good secretly impressed.
Only Li Changshou and General Dongmu were still seated. At that moment, Li Changshou did not make any small talk and asked, âWhy did the Moon Lord say that he is not guilty?â
âGreetings, Lord Taibai Jinxing. Greetings, General Dongmu.â Hengâe bowed and looked at Bian Zhuang before walking towards Li Changshou.
With a flip of her slender hand, a cloud mirror appeared on the roof of the hall. It revealed the situation of the Moon Essence Pool.
âLord Taibai Jinxing, look. This is the array formation of the Moon Essence Pool. I personally set up this place for the sisters. There are probably not many people in the entire Heavenly Courts who know about this array formation. The array formation is called the Six Unity Essence Restoring Array. It was created by an array formation master in the ancient times of the human race. It could be activated all year round and would not close for years. It borrowed the spiritual energy of the Moon laurel tree. The only exit of the array is the side door behind you. If we enter the array from the outside, the outer array wall would definitely be attacked. I checked the various array formations. The killing arrays on the second and third levels were not activated. The outermost array walls were also intact. However, General Bian Zhuang was discovered in the trapping array on the fourth level. The trapping array formation led to the side of the Moon Essence Pool. In such a situation, either Bian Zhuang swaggered into the Moon Essence Pool from the Moon Palace, or he was placed beside the pool and thrown into the trapping array to frame Lord Taibai Jinxing.â
Immediately, the leader of the Changâe reported, âLord Taibai Jinxing, if there is no one in the Moon Palace, the outer protective array will definitely be activated. Today, more than ten Changâe are bathing. Itâs just that they were a little tired from dancing previously. In the past few months, there have been people in the hall.â
Li Changshou slowly heaved a sigh of relief. He stood up and said calmly, âApart from the Moon Lord, everyone here has gone to the Lingxiao Treasure Hall to seek an audience with the Jade Emperor.â
Then, Li Changshou bowed to Hengâe.
âThank you, Moon Lord.â
âYouâre too polite, Lord Taibai Jinxing.â Hengâe said seriously, âThe Moon Palace is under my rule. Iâm also involved in this matter. Iâll just make a trip.â
âBian Zhuang is the favorite general of Lord Taibai Jinxing. Lord Taibai Jinxing should avoid suspicion. Please know that. Donât think that Lord Taibai Jinxing doesnât care about his old friend. The Moon Palace seems to be hiding some filth. Iâll clean it up.â
