CH 15

“Didn’t you want to play war? Let’s start the fight!” Laojun threw a jelly bean into his mouth and approached with a smile.

“Hmph!” Li Jing was bound at the waist, so his hands were still able to move, and he punched Laojun preemptively. Laojun dodged and slapped the crane on the buttocks. The crane was frightened immediately, spread its wings and flew up.

Ordinary cranes naturally couldn’t carry such a heavy child, not to mention that the child was wearing a suit of armor. But the cranes in Yuqing Palace had already become fairies, let alone bringing up a child, it was not a problem for them to fly to the South China Sea with Tianzun on their back. So, Li Jing was taken away by the crane.

A group of children stared blankly at the top, then Yue Lao whispered: “When Bai Ze comes out later, will he scold us?”

“I didn’t see anything.” Digging for bugs, the Queen Mother stuck out her tongue, and pulled Yue Lao aside to turn over the flower rope. Fu Li was silent for a moment, then looked up to see Bai Ze who had come back after baking the pancakes.

“Come over and eat,” Bai Ze greeted the children with a smile, and looked around, “Where’s Li Jing?”

Laojun took a piece of pancake and ran away without answering Bai Ze’s words. The queen mother came over and took two pieces and was going to take them to Yue Lao who was still holding a flower rope. And Fu Li sat on the futon, unmoved.

“Queen Mother, where did Li Jing go?” Bai Ze felt that the situation was a bit wrong. In the past, if Li Jing ran away mischievously to play with bamboo horses, Laojun would definitely be the first to complain, and the Queen Mother would follow suit, but now they were all silent as if they didn’t want to talk about it.

“Hmm… was taken away by the crane.” The Queen Mother took a bite of the pancake and said vaguely.

“What?” Bai Ze immediately turned his head to look at the pond. There used to be two long-legged white-feathered cranes in the pond, combing their white feathers gracefully in the water every day and drinking the clear dew. Now, only one remained.

Recently, these small guys hid in Yuqing Palace, eating and drinking with Bai Ze. The celestial beings in the heavenly world thought that the several celestial beings were listening to Tianzun’s discourse in Yuqing Palace and did not dare to disturb them. If they suddenly saw little Li Jing tied to the crane’s feet, they didn’t know what expression they would have.

Bai Ze quickly put down the pancake in his hand, ready to chase after it.

“I’ll go with you.” Fu Li stood up unhurriedly. The crane was raised by him, so he naturally listened to his call.

In Bai Ze’s ears, it meant that Tianzun felt responsible for not taking good care of Li Jing. Sure enough, even if he became a child, Tianzun was the most reliable! Bai Ze nodded, picked Fu Li up and started to leave, but then he suddenly stopped, picked up a piece of pancake, and stuffed it into Fu Li’s hand: “Take it and eat on the way.”

Fu Li looked at Bai Ze, raised his hand gracefully, took it slowly and looked down at the pancake in his hand, it didn’t look very good, some places on it were still mushy. Raising his eyes to see Bai Ze who was looking at him expectantly, Tianzun Fuli pursed his light-colored thin lips, and took a tentative bite. The burnt-flavored noodle cake taste spread through the tip of the tongue, with a strong aura, unexpectedly, the taste was not bad…

Seeing that Fu Li liked to eat it, Bai Ze couldn’t help but feel a little happy. He didn’t know if it was because of the marriage line between the two, but now Bai Ze couldn’t help but want to treat Fu Li better. Seeing that he liked his pancakes, his mood brightened, and even his anxiety about Li Jing being taken away by the crane had subsided a bit.

But it was said that Li Jing was tied to the leg of a crane and flew all the way out of Yuqing Palace. Below were pavilions shrouded in fairy mist, and immortals appeared in his vision from time to time. However, everyone had long been accustomed to the various fairy birds flying over their heads in a hurry, and they did not look up.

Ever since he had become a child, Li Jing had never been flying through the clouds and fog. Now being carried around by the cranes, he found it extremely fun, even making him want to dance with excitement.

“Wow, rush, rush up to Lingxiao Palace and protect His Majesty!” The little Li Jing acted out the scene he had imagined.

The crane just flew slowly and leisurely, ignoring the noisy child on its lap, and flew straight to an octagonal pavilion, landed lightly on the top of the pavilion, and began to comb its feathers leisurely.

This pavilion was located at the confluence of two streams, and there was a snow-white crane walking gracefully in the water. The crane on the top of the pavilion stopped combing its feathers looked at the one in the water bewilderedly.

Li Jing tugged at the crane’s feathers, signaling it to continue flying, but the crane was unmoved. He had to do it himself, so untying the red rope, he hung over the cornice and looked down, it seemed a bit high and he couldn’t go down.

In the pavilion, several immortals were chatting.

“I went to deliver nectar to Yue Lao yesterday, but there was no one there.” Fairy Baihua talked about a strange thing. To say it, there were thousands of marriages in this world, so Yue Lao was very busy every day, and he would never leave Yuexia Immortal Palace if there was no major event.

“I heard that he also went to Yuqing Palace to listen to the sermon.” Yuheng Xingjun said enviously.

“Yue Lao has gone too?” Fairy Baihua was a little surprised. Laojun was kind of mad about Taoism, so if he had the opportunity to discuss Taoism with Tianzun, he would naturally go; Queen Mother liked to join in this kind of fun, so it was normal for her to go and listen; and due to Li Jing’s violent temper, she heard that the Jade Emperor appointed him to listen to Taoism and cultivate his character.

As for Yue Lao, as the immortal in charge of marriage, he didn’t need to know any advanced Taoism. Besides, Yue Lao had never been motivated, why did he suddenly become enlightened?

“Yue Lao and Laojun belong to the same generation, so they were probably called away by chance.” Yuheng Xingjun took the flagon on the table indifferently and poured a cup of Baihua Niang.

This was the wine brewed by Baihua Fairy, it was very sweet. He always liked to chat with Baihua Fairy, but in fact it was just to drink a pot of this wine. Baihua Niang was delicious, and there were two brothers who had the same purpose as Yuheng Xingjun present there as well: Qian Liyan and Shun Feng’er.

“Is Lord Bai Ze still in Heaven?” Fairy Baihua looked at the two brothers who had been silent all this time and asked.

“That’s right, he hasn’t left all this time, and is still in Yuqing Palace.” Qian Liyan said casually. None of the big and small things that happened in heaven could escape their eyes and ears, and everyone was used to asking them for news.

Hearing this, Fairy Baihua had a strange expression: “Shenjun Bai Ze, does he also want to listen to the sermon on the Tao?” Bai Ze was an ancient divine beast, and he didn’t need to practice Taoism, he could just sleep on his stomach, what was he doing in Yuqing Palace? What’s more, Bai Ze told her earlier that when he saw Tianzun’s cold face, he would feel scared, how could he go to listen to Tianzun’s talk?

Because Bai Ze was going to take care of those gods who had become children! It should be used as a fur mat for those children! He wants to cook pancakes for them! He’s so worried that his hair is about to fall out hahahahaha…

Qian Liyan and Shun Feng’er looked at each other and saw a strong longing in each other’s eyes. I really want to say it, I really want to say it…

However, the ban imposed by the Jade Emperor was still on top of their head, so they couldn’t say anything. Qian Liyan made his purple face even more purple, and he took a deep breath and said, “Oh, you don’t know that, Tianzun loves Bai Ze very much, and since Bai Ze came to Heaven, he has been living in Yuqing Palace…”

Fairy Baihua’s eyes lit up: “Huh? Tell me, what’s going on?”

Yuheng Xingjun also put down his wine glass and pricked up his ears to listen to the follow-up.

Tianzun had been so cold for thousands of years, his long beard covered his face, and he always looked lifeless. But it was said that Tianzun himself was one of the most beautiful men in the nine heavens and ten palaces, but it was a pity that he was always unwilling to show his true colors. Moreover, Fu Li had always had no desires, and they had never seen him showing affection for anyone, but now he actually showed his love for Bai Ze, this was simply the first time in the world.

“Tianzun likes to lie on Bai Ze’s body to sleep now, it’s not like you don’t know about Bai Ze’s fur, tsk tsk…” Qian Liyan said decently.

“Then Bai Ze agrees?” Yuheng Xingjun was a little unconvinced. Based on his understanding of Bai Ze, although the ancient beast was kind, he didn’t like others to touch his fur casually, let alone sleep on him. For so many years, he had only seen Bai Ze let a child climb over him in this world, but he would be sprayed with water if he tried to get close to it.

“Agreed, why won’t he agree? He is very happy,” Shun Feng’er interjected unwillingly, “Last night I heard Bai Ze say to Tianzun, “You and I are connected by a marriage line.”

“Ah?” Fairy Baihua was frightened enough to knock over the jug in her hand, the marriage line? Bai Ze and Tianzun?

“Pfft——” Yuheng Xingjun who had just taken a sip of wine, spit it out instantly, coughing for a long time, “You two just made it up, if you don’t want to say it, let it go, what are you doing with us.” Saying this and waving his sleeves, he evaporated the wine on his body, shook his head and left.

Fairy Baihua gave Shun Feng a glare, snatched the jug he had just snatched away, swung her willow waist lightly, turned around and followed Yuheng Xingjun away.

“I’m telling the truth…” Shun Feng’er muttered softly.

“Everyone is drunk and I am sober alone, hey, how lonely!” Qian Liyan shook his head and sighed.

Li Jing heard these words clearly from above the pavilion and was completely outraged. These two big mouths didn’t do their business, and they arranged for Bai Ze and Tianzun here, it was an unforgivable crime. With this excitement, his feet slipped and he was about to fall down.

When Shun Feng heard the noise, he immediately raised his head, and subconsciously reached out to catch the falling little Li Jing.

“Yo, my lord Marshal… Ouch!” Li Jing punched Shun Feng’er in the eye socket before he could finish his sentence.

“Marshal, what are you doing?” Qian Liyan hurried over to fight and was immediately beaten.

Although Li Jing had shrunk in size, his fighting strength was not weak at all, and he beat the two brothers to hold their heads in a few blows. The two of them didn’t understand the situation, so they started running away, and were chased and beaten by the little Li Jing.

When Nezha followed Bai Ze to look for his father, what he saw was this scene. He immediately stepped forward and hugged Li Jing, “Father, what are you doing?”

“These two bastards, to say that Mr. Bai Ze has an affair with Tianzun, I am really angry!” Li Jing kicked his short legs and wanted to beat someone.

Bai Ze was standing by the side with Fu Li in his arms, and when he heard this, his face turned red: “Hu… what are you talking about!”

The author has something to say:

Small theater:

Tianzun: Nonsense When did we have an affair?

Tianzun: This is called recognized marriage

Li Jing: It’s just… what?
