Chapter 88: There is Still a Case
Chapter 88: Chapter 88: There is Still a Case
Nezha’s task was to deal with Long Ji’s red thread of fate.
Nezha believed in following the natural Dao and wasn’t fond of forcibly tied red threads.
He brought Long Ji back to the Marriage Hall and directly told Yue Lao to use scissors to cut Long Ji’s red thread from himself.
However, as soon as the thread was cut, it automatically extended again and coiled back around Nezha’s red cord.
Cut again, coil again.
Cut again, coil again.
Nezha looked speechlessly at Long Ji, while Long Ji gazed back with her big, watery, innocent eyes.
...
After returning to his Thunder Mansion, Long Ji followed him all the way. The issue with the red thread remained unresolved, so Nezha had no choice but to leave it as it was.
Did he just get a wife for free?
This was even more impressive than Old Xu’s luck!
"Nezha, you looked so good tying your hair with a red ribbon. Why did you switch to yellow?"
"Is yellow not good-looking?"
"It’s also good-looking."
Nezha was contemplating whether to get himself a ghost fire ride to park at the South Heavenly Gate, but Gold Star Taibai appeared.
They had worked together before and had a rather good relationship.
Nezha smiled at Gold Star Taibai and said jokingly, "Old Brother, what brings you here?"
Gold Star Taibai replied, "His Majesty has another mission for the General."
Nezha was speechless. This Hao Tian had vibes just like his former boss—if it could be done, he’d milk it to death. Nezha had just finished one task, and now there was another.
"What instructions does His Majesty have?"
"It concerns the matter of His Majesty’s sister, Fairy Yaoji, sneaking into the mortal realm."
Fairy Yaoji was Hao Tian’s sister during his mortal tribulation. Having an extraordinary root bone, she was brought to the Turquoise Pool to be a fairy.
At first, Hao Tian didn’t find it suspicious, but after what happened with Long Ji, he immediately sensed something was off.
Yaoji had been serving under the Queen Mother. What kind of immortal’s handsome face hadn’t she seen? How could she go down there and marry a mortal, even having children?
In the blink of an eye, she’d already given birth to three!
This was genuinely quite outrageous.
Now that Lady Nuwa’s disciple who governed all marriages was here, he wanted her to investigate!
Anyway, he didn’t have to pay the wages.
Gold Star Taibai, having received many gifts last time, carefully explained the details of the matter to Nezha after delivering the decree.
The incident was very different from what Nezha had heard in his past life. It was clearly no simple matter. How should he handle it?
Eventually, Nezha accepted the decree.
First, the matter involved the authority of his own teacher. While his teacher could choose to ignore it, others couldn’t randomly meddle in it.
Second, since Hao Tian was taking the lead on this, Nezha had the backing of both his teacher and the Heavenly Court, so there shouldn’t be any trouble.
Third, Nezha was also curious. In his past life, he’d watched plenty of dramas. Now that he was personally roaming this strange world, he wanted to explore.
And lastly, there was a paycheck involved. As the saying goes, in the current Heavenly Court, as long as you work, you get paid.
Nezha had a faint feeling that the Merit he’d accumulated would come in handy someday.
He took on the case but didn’t leave immediately.
Two or three days later, a chicken demon and a horse demon, escorted by the Thunder Bird, arrived at the Thunder Mansion.
He accepted the personnel arranged by Bai Ze and assigned the remaining two positions of Plague Messenger to the demons. Then, he released Dai Li and Jin Dasheng.
Handing over the long-prepared medicine to treat the plague to the Four Envoys, he sent them off to work.
This could be considered an explanation to the Heavenly Dao.
After that, it was time to focus on the case. Over the past few days, Nezha had come up with some ideas.
Donned in a formal blue official robe, he set off from the South Heavenly Gate and descended onto the Yin Shang and West Zhou battlefield.
This matter still needed to be discussed with Yang Jian, the person involved.
He arrived at just the right time, as the two sides were engaged in battle. Nezha witnessed a surreal scene.
Armor Warriors were fighting Netherworld Demons!
Nezha: "???"
Nezha found it bizarre, but the Zhou and Yin Shang sides didn’t think so. The armored side was West Zhou, and the Netherworld Demon side was Yin Shang.
This story required mentioning how Yun Zhongzi had forged a new suit of armor for Lei Zhenzi. Because Lei Zhenzi was naturally of wind and thunder attributes,
Jia Wood represented thunder, and Yi Wood represented wind, so Lei Zhenzi’s armor was of the wood attribute. Since it had wings, Yun Zhongzi named it the Mystic Eagle Immortal Armor.
Lei Zhenzi’s attributes aligned perfectly with it, and the addition of a pair of majestic wings made him very pleased.
However, Lei Zhenzi, being the flamboyant and vain type, couldn’t help showing it off to the other disciples whenever he had the chance.
Yang Ren was also delighted, welcoming the wood-armored addition by warmly shaking Lei Zhenzi’s hand.
On the opposing side, there was the Asura Army sent by the Bodhisattva.
During their first encounter, the somewhat dim-witted Yang Ren shouted excitedly, "So you’re the ones colluding with the Netherworld Army to attempt world domination! Today, as an Armor Summoner, I will end your wickedness! Armor Fusion!"
At that time, the Asuras didn’t take him seriously at all. Netherworld Demons?
What a grand title!
Lei Zhenzi initially felt a little embarrassed but eventually played along.
The two sides seemed destined by fate, as they started fighting immediately upon meeting.
This explained why Nezha stumbled upon such a sight when he arrived.
Nezha didn’t rush in and instead stayed hidden in the sky, leisurely watching this primordial version of Armor Warriors. He had to admit it was exhilarating.
Elder Brother Yun Zhongzi’s armor skills were far more dazzling than the ones in dramas.
Especially Lei Zhenzi, who, thanks to his Lotus Avatar, possessed mana reserves far exceeding his current cultivation. Unleashing his big moves was as effortless as drinking cold water.
On the other side, each grotesquely unique Asura had their own tricks, while Yang Ren occasionally shouted some ridiculously melodramatic lines.
When the two sides withdrew their troops, Nezha, having enjoyed the spectacular show from the sky, slowly descended into the Zhou Camp, only to see a woman hanging pitifully from a flagpole.
She looked somewhat familiar. Taking another glance,
it indeed turned out to be someone he knew—Golden Light Saint Mother.
As soon as Nezha revealed himself, the people in the Zhou Camp quickly took notice. They weren’t strangers to Nezha, and some hurried off to report his arrival, while the rest excitedly came over to pay their respects.
As a True God of the Thunder Department, Nezha could certainly accept the worship of mortals.
"I wonder why that person up there is being hung like this?"
A man who appeared to be a minor official immediately responded, "Great Sage Master, that’s an enemy captured by the grain transport officer Yang Jian."
Nezha had no idea Golden Light Saint Mother had been planning to defect to him. Thinking she was just another troublemaker, he felt she deserved it.
But upon seeing Nezha, Golden Light Saint Mother reacted as if she had found a savior, crying, "Mmm! Mmm! Mmm!"
Since they had encountered each other, Nezha thought, for the sake of the Earth Split Formation Diagram, he might as well lend her a hand.
With a wave of his hand, he undid the binding on her mouth, allowing Golden Light to finally speak.
"Daoist Friend, help me! I was just passing by and was tricked and captured by that three-eyed bastard! That guy is truly despicable!"
"I know you’re anxious, but don’t rush. Explain the cause and details first, so I can help you sort this out."
Golden Light, feeling wronged, began recounting her ordeal in detail.
