Chapter 137: Chapter 137 Paying Respects to Sister-in-law, Mixing Fake with Real

Aside from bringing Golden Cicada as a witness, Sun Wukong had been keenly observing the situation in every part of Taiyin Star.

He utilized the Divine Skills’ "Through Wall Clear Vision," which allowed him to see through all, sit and behold all ten directions, nothing in heaven or earth could be concealed from him, within and beyond the six realms, all spirits, humans, both the obscure and the evident, large and small, were unmistakably clear to him.

However, up until he entered Chang’e’s residence, he had not detected any sign of Ziwei Great Emperor and those wary of Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong understood that they might be watching over Tianpeng since everything could only begin once the scapegoat had arrived.

Moreover, within the Lunar Palace, he had spotted traces of the arrangement of the Vinayaka Formation, evidently, Ziwei Great Emperor and his cohort had already spread their net.

"Hehe, let’s see who will be the fish caught in the net this time!" Sun Wukong’s nimble eyes flickered as he approached the drunken Chang’e, accompanied by Golden Cicada.

Golden Cicada was eager to know what the Great Sage Equalling Heaven exactly planned to do, while also on guard to prevent this capricious monkey from making any offensive moves.

He saw Sun Wukong, transformed into a celestial maiden, hand a wine pot to Chang’e, then respectfully bowed and said, "Sun Wukong pays respects to sister-in-law."

Sister-in-law?!

Golden Cicada was shocked, what was happening?

Chang’e sobered up from the wine, quickly fixed her makeup, and asked calmly, "Are you that arrow-shooting monkey just like him?"

Sun Wukong knew Chang’e was referring to the Heart Arrow Technique and, with a smile, he clasped his hands together and said, "I’ve been in the Heavenly Court for quite some time but have yet to pay my respects to sister-in-law, please do not take offense."

Chang’e stood up, grabbing the jade rabbit next to her and gently shook her head, "Blame you for what? At least you came, whereas that faithless one never comes to see me."

Sun Wukong noticed that Chang’e had already caused the jade rabbit to roll its eyes from kneading, clearly carrying a grievance.

Before he could say anything more, Chang’e took the initiative and asked, "Tell me, what is your purpose in coming to see me in this guise?"

Sun Wukong answered earnestly, "I am here to inform sister-in-law that a group of rogues currently plan to use several of the Lunar Palace’s maidens in their schemes.

With time pressing, I beg sister-in-law to make early preparations with the Taiyin Star Lord and the Lord of Lunar Wanderers, so I may capture these vile creatures."

Afterward, he shared his strategy with her.

Holding the jade rabbit, Chang’e listened with interest and finally nodded, "Interesting, let’s do as you say. However, it seems the Lord of Lunar Wanderers is not at Taiyin Star."

Sun Wukong’s gaze shifted, and under the scrutiny of the Divine Skills’ "Through Wall Clear Vision," he indeed found no trace of the Lord of Lunar Wanderers.

"Let it be so for now, it’s of no great consequence."

The Lord of Lunar Wanderers was none other than Lady Shi Ji of the Sect of Interception, who had been brutally killed by Tai Yi Zhenren years ago, bearing a blood feud and certainly would not conspire with those cautious of Sun Wukong and Ziwei Great Emperor.

At that moment, Chang’e handed the jade rabbit to Golden Cicada, instructing, "Please take good care of her."

"Is this really necessary?" Golden Cicada asked, looking reluctantly at Sun Wukong.

"Do you still want to learn or not?" Sun Wukong asked.

Golden Cicada, feeling helpless, flashed in golden light and transformed into a green-robed celestial maiden, holding the jade rabbit and looking indistinguishable from Chang’e.

"Hehe, well done, excellent transformation," Sun Wukong praised.

Then, leaving Golden Cicada behind, he proceeded to Taiyin Star Lord Consort Jiang’s bedchamber with Chang’e.

Consort Jiang had a dignified appearance, garbed in luxurious black and red silk. After hearing Sun Wukong’s explanation, her brows furrowed, but she was very decisive.

"I hope the North Star does not show mercy; these thieves must be severely punished!" she said.

"Rest assured, Taiyin Star Lord, I shall not be lenient!" Sun Wukong said with a smile as he bowed.

With that, he transformed again, taking on the appearance of Consort Jiang, sitting down at a desk.

Chang’e and Consort Jiang exchanged glances but said little else, and under Sun Wukong’s spell, they assumed the forms of celestial maidens and headed straight to a secluded spot deep within the Lunar Palace to temporarily hide.

...

Staggering in his flight, Tianpeng finally arrived at Taiyin Star.

At the same moment, the portly, Buddha-like Xu Gai of the Sun and the silver-armored Taiyang Star Lord Xu Gai had also arrived above Taiyin Star, closely watching everything unfold.

"At last, you’ve come!" Xu Gai was very excited.

Before the Divine Enthronement, he had been a minister of the Shang Dynasty but never had the chance to be with Consort Jiang. Thus, he harbored grudges and even more so despised Di Xin, who killed Consort Jiang, which led him to ultimately join the Zhou forces.

After the Divine Enthronement, upon learning that he himself was the Taiyang Star Lord, the emperor among the stars, destined for imperial aura, and that Consort Jiang was just the Taiyin Star Lord, his excitement was unbearable.

This meant that he and Consort Jiang finally had a possibility together.

However, because the Heavenly Court had too many former ministers of the Shang Dynasty, he dared not make a move and could only wait for an opportunity.

As the years passed by, he endured the torment of this unattainable longing, his mind gradually slipping into madness.

He had long understood that this was not about romance between a man and a woman, but merely a desire to prove his own possessiveness.

And now, the opportunity to vent these desires had finally arrived!

With the help of Ziwei Great Emperor and the retained Buddhist avatar Sun Buddha, success was assured.

Thinking of this, Xu Gai respectfully bowed to the retained Sun Buddha and said, "Thank you, Sun Buddha, for making this happen. I will remember your kindness today forever!"

The retained Sun Buddha laughed and said, "No need to thank me. This is your own karmic path, unrelated to me."

His only concern was running errands for the Buddha Sect; he was here for Tianpeng. Who was Xu Gai to him?

While the two were chatting, Tianpeng, drunk and muddled, entered the Taiyin Star and arrived in front of the Lunar Palace.

The fairies were so frightened that their expressions distorted, and the usually serene Lunar Palace quickly descended into chaos.

Seeing his chance, Xu Gai once again bowed to the retained Sun Buddha and took advantage of the confusion to enter the Lunar Palace, heading straight for the sleeping chamber of the Taiyin Star Lord.

The retained Sun Buddha then took out a strange statue of a coupling man and woman and threw it towards the Lunar Palace, reciting, "Amitabha Buddha, well done, well done."

Om...

The statue trembled and transformed into a Lotus Sitting Dharma Aspect above the Lunar Palace, and invisible ripples rose everywhere in the palace, intertwining into a Formation with the Dharma Aspect at its center.

In just an instant, both the Dharma Aspect and the Formation vanished from sight.

But the entire Lunar Palace was enveloped in seductive sounds that stirred the deepest impulses and desires in people’s hearts.

The fairies all fell into madness, either frolicking everywhere or embracing each other in hugs.

Xu Gai was prepared, but still affected by the Formation; his eyes turned red, his breath quickened, and his entire body burned with heat.

"Consort, I’ve arrived!" He had reached the outside of Consort Jiang’s sleeping chamber and rushed into the chaos.

He saw that dignified figure sitting there, her back to the door.

Overcome with excitement, his body shaking uncontrollably, he called out, "Consort, beauty, do you remember me?"

Consort Jiang turned around, alarmed, and said, "What are you doing? Get out now!"

Xu Gai let out a low chuckle, "Today, even if you scream till your throat breaks, no one will come. Beauty, you might as well succumb to me, for the sun and the moon are inherently a pair."

Consort Jiang retorted, "I am the queen of the Shang king, aren’t you afraid of those old Shang ministers causing you trouble?"

Xu Gai scoffed, "What’s there to fear? Shang has long been gone, and besides, once you accept me, all the power of the sun and the moon will belong to Ziwei Dijun. What storms can those old Shang ministers stir up then?"

Consort Jiang’s eyes darted around; oh, so that was it!

Ziwei Great Emperor had set up using the Taiyin Star indeed had more purpose than just revenge. It wasn’t just about helping the Buddha Sect plot against Tianpeng—it was also largely about power!

Seeing that Consort Jiang remained silent, Xu Gai took it as consent and lunged at her, "Haha, my beauty..."

But Consort Jiang let out a heh-heh laugh, baring her teeth and grinning grotesquely, "Filthy creature, just look who your ’beauty’ is!"

In an instant, the dignified lady transformed into a golden-armored monkey king of extraordinary aura.

Xu Gai recoiled in shock, "Ah, it’s Sun Wukong!"
