"Shut up!"
The moment Red Boy finished speaking, Princess Iron Fan immediately snapped at him and slammed her fan down heavily.
"Don't bring that up again. The Bull Demon King has his own plans."
"But…"
"No excuses. Even if that mysterious Great Sage wearing Sun Wukong's armor truly plans to invade Flame Mountain, I can still ascend to Heaven and request reinforcements to suppress him.
This matter has nothing to do with you. Go stay with your sister. You are forbidden from interfering in Yang Jian's affairs."
As soon as she finished speaking, Princess Iron Fan waved the Banana Leaf Fan again. Red Boy was instantly blown back into the Water Curtain Cave, moving even faster than his sister, Ping Ping.
At the same time, inside the massive lava pit created moments earlier…
Yang Jian slowly raised his head and let out a furious roar.
"You're not that monkey, definitely not. He could never be this powerful!
Then who exactly are you? Whose orders are you following in that Little Western Heaven?"
"Your grandpa's orders. Nobody in this world is qualified to command me!"
Boom!
Axel smashed the Golden Cudgel down again, cutting Yang Jian off mid sentence.
Another strike followed.
Then another.
Each blow landed harder than the last, shaking the magma beneath Flame Mountain until the entire region trembled violently. Eventually, Yang Jian's Law of Heaven and Earth form was forcibly shattered.
Before Yang Jian could even recover after returning to normal size, Axel grabbed the white robe hanging over his armor and hurled him across the horizon.
Yang Jian tore through six mountain peaks in succession before crashing through the walls of the Rakshasa Palace. He finally came to a stop directly on Princess Iron Fan's couch.
Princess Iron Fan was completely stunned.
She had barely spent half a minute watching the chaos unfold, yet somehow the battle itself had arrived at her doorstep.
Before she could even react, flames erupted inside the palace as Axel appeared beside Yang Jian instantly, pressing the Golden Cudgel firmly against Erlang Shen's chest.
Looking at that familiar armor, Princess Iron Fan could not help recalling the Great Sage Equal to Heaven from years ago, despite already knowing Axel was not Sun Wukong.
Meanwhile, Axel looked down at the battered Erlang Shen and grinned.
"What's wrong, little nephew? Can't transform anymore?
How about turning into a bird for me? Or maybe a white tiger?
Weren't you acting impressive earlier? Why so quiet now?"
The Golden Cudgel trembled excitedly in Axel's hand.
After all, when had it ever experienced something like this?
Beating Erlang Shen and suppressing his Three Pointed Double Edged Blade head on was enough to make the weapon itself feel proud.
It would definitely brag about this to every divine weapon it met later.
Axel stared directly into Yang Jian's three eyes before speaking slowly.
"Tell me honestly. Compared to you, how strong am I?"
"Far stronger."
Yang Jian answered without hesitation.
His tone carried absolute certainty.
Hearing that, Axel let out a cold laugh.
"Besides that, Maitreya already fled back to Spirit Mountain in fear. He didn't even dare retrieve his treasures.
So tell me, how do I compare to the Buddha?"
Yang Jian fell silent for a rare moment before eventually shaking his head.
"I cannot judge clearly. Your strength may not be inferior to the Buddha's, but I only witnessed your raw power. I was never qualified to see beyond that."
"Hahaha!"
Axel burst into laughter before casually resting the Golden Cudgel over his shoulder.
Then he turned toward Princess Iron Fan.
"I wasn't paying attention earlier and accidentally fought my way into Flame Mountain.
Good timing though. I happen to have a question for both you and the Bull Demon King."
He strode toward her.
Princess Iron Fan instinctively stepped backward before forcing herself to stop.
Suppressing her fear, she raised the Banana Leaf Fan respectfully and bowed gracefully.
"If the Great Immortal has questions, this humble woman will answer honestly. What does the immortal wish to know?"
Axel stopped directly in front of her and stared into her eyes through strands of her pale hair.
"I intend to ascend into Heaven and burn the Heavenly Court to ashes.
Princess Iron Fan, are you willing to help me?"
Her eyes froze instantly.
Behind Axel, Yang Jian's expression changed sharply as well.
Seeing her unable to answer, Axel suddenly grinned.
Then, without warning, he grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against a pillar inside the palace.
Boom!
The pillar cracked apart instantly.
Princess Iron Fan let out a painful gasp as Axel's grip tightened around her neck.
"I asked you a question."
His voice dropped dangerously low.
"I said, I plan to burn the Heavenly Court to the ground. Are you willing to help me?"
Struggling to breathe, Princess Iron Fan hurriedly nodded.
"I'm willing! Of course I'm willing! Please spare my life, Great Immortal!"
"Hahaha!"
Axel suddenly laughed and released her throat casually.
"Why so nervous? Your family is practically my ally already.
Besides…"
His eyes swept across her figure slowly.
"You're far too beautiful for me to kill."
Princess Iron Fan's body stiffened immediately.
Even so, she endured the humiliation silently.
She understood the situation clearly.
If even Yang Jian had fallen this easily, then with the Bull Demon King's current condition, nobody in Flame Mountain could stop Axel if he decided to act violently.
At that moment, Princess Iron Fan could only suppress her anger and endure.
She just hoped this so called Great Sage would not go too far.
Smack!
A loud sound echoed throughout the hall.
Her thoughts instantly froze.
Even Yang Jian coughed up blood awkwardly after witnessing it.
Axel casually slapped Princess Iron Fan's backside before laughing loudly.
"Why are you so tense? Relax a little.
If you really dislike me that much, you can always fan me away with your Banana Leaf Fan.
Maybe you'll even blow away my stamina bar."
Princess Iron Fan was briefly stunned by the strange phrase before forcing herself to answer naturally.
"Immortal, please don't joke around. How would this humble woman dare use the fan against you?
If the immortal truly likes it, then I'm willing to offer the Banana Leaf Fan to you. I only ask that you spare my family."
As she spoke, she stepped forward carefully and respectfully presented the fan with both hands.
Axel glanced at the treasure and nodded.
"Not bad. A decent treasure."
Seeing his reaction, Princess Iron Fan quickly tried handing it over.
But Axel ignored the fan entirely.
Instead, he reached toward her hair and gently pulled a strand of silver white silk between his fingers.
"You misunderstand."
He smiled faintly.
"What value does a mere fan have?
Even Maitreya's treasure sack ended up becoming Zhu Bajie's toy after I took it.
The treasure I'm talking about…"
His fingers slid through her pale hair slowly.
"…is this."
Then he grabbed her chin firmly and pulled her closer.
Before Princess Iron Fan could react, Axel lowered his head and kissed her forcefully.
Dozens of seconds passed before he finally released her.
Her body trembled violently, her face burning with humiliation and anger.
Meanwhile, Axel laughed loudly.
"This is the greatest treasure I gained today.
Princess Iron Fan truly has remarkable patience. Hahaha!"
Still laughing, he walked toward the throne.
Yang Jian was casually shoved aside as Axel sat down arrogantly in the main seat.
Surprisingly, Yang Jian showed no anger.
Instead, he glanced at the trembling Princess Iron Fan before sighing softly.
"This… really is too much."
"Too much?"
Axel sneered.
"Don't be ridiculous. This woman is full of schemes, and the Bull Demon King was never capable of controlling her.
Once Sun Wukong's influence disappears completely, what kind of woman wouldn't the Bull Demon King be able to find with his status?
Why chain himself to someone like this forever?
If the Grand Supreme Elder wants to play games with the Bull Demon King, then fine, let him try.
The Bull Demon King should find a proper wife instead, live peacefully, and raise children who genuinely respect him.
Wouldn't that be far better than spending his life trapped in endless calculations?"
Axel leaned back lazily before gesturing toward Princess Iron Fan.
"Today, I'm making the decision for him.
Princess Iron Fan, you're divorcing the Bull Demon King."
Then Axel grinned wickedly toward the entrance of the palace.
"So what do you think, old Bull Demon King?
Are you planning to fight me to the death…
Or would you rather find a safer and more suitable mother for your daughter?"
