"Oh no… I fought against the mistress back then, but now I've become the mistress myself!"
As Princess Iron Fan thought this, she continued glaring at Kang without restraint.
While she stared daggers at her, Kang had already rushed toward Axel. She transformed into her human form midair, landed beside him, then bowed respectfully to Erlang Shen and Bull Demon King beside him.
"This humble immortal, Kang, greets the True Lord, and greets the Great Strength King!"
After greeting them, Kang immediately moved to Axel's side. She lowered her eyes shyly, looking like an obedient young wife.
Princess Iron Fan froze slightly before curling her lips in amusement.
So she's still innocent. I worried for nothing.
Still, compared to her, this dragon girl was younger, prettier, and untouched. Sooner or later, she might steal Axel's affection.
But what choice do I have?
I'm not even his official wife. I'm a woman with a child, a faded flower already abandoned once before.
That thought left bitterness in her chest, but she still stepped forward.
Even if he dislikes me in the future, I still need a place beside him now. If I can't secure a place in his heart, then my child and I will never truly be safe.
With that resolve, Princess Iron Fan emerged from the black wind and quietly slipped into the gap Kang had shyly left beside Axel. Once she steadied herself, she carefully reached out and held Axel's arm.
Kang froze.
The gentleness on her face vanished instantly, replaced by fierce hostility.
She was no pure celestial immortal. She was a demon dragon who had slaughtered countless lives.
"Niu Furen, have some shame!"
"Bang!"
Bull Demon King slapped his forehead.
"Bang!"
Erlang Shen immediately turned his head away, unable to keep watching.
"Bang!"
Axel smacked Kang hard on the backside.
"It's Madam Tang."
"Ah?!"
Kang completely froze.
She looked at Axel, then at Princess Iron Fan, tears instantly forming in her eyes.
"Madam Tang...? But... but... wuwuwu! What is this?! I was here first!"
The little dragon girl burst into tears and ran toward the Sea of Bitterness. She rushed into the small pavilion by Mirror Lake, curled into a ball, and refused to move.
Princess Iron Fan sneered internally.
A defeated stray.
Yet strangely enough, watching the dragon girl flee in tears made Axel seem even more attractive in her eyes.
A faint sense of victory rose in her heart.
Axel simply dusted off his hands before speaking casually to everyone.
"Enough standing around in the sky. Let's head down and drink properly.
There's no decent place around here for a banquet anyway. I'll prepare food and wine first, just wait for me."
The moment he finished speaking, his figure vanished into flames.
Everyone exchanged looks before descending to the ground one after another.
Erlang Shen summoned one of Bull Demon King's subordinates over and clasped his hands toward the Bull Demon King.
"Great Strength King, forgive me. This strongman under your command is actually one of my brothers from Peach Mountain.
Brother, take some men and coordinate with the Four Rivers Dragon Clan about construction work. After that, gather the demon immortals and start building the main hall immediately."
"Understood, Big Brother, but... Your Majesty... Little Niu, I..."
"Hahaha! Forget it, forget it. I knew you had backing!"
Bull Demon King waved dismissively before grabbing the man's shoulder.
"I made you my vanguard because I liked your guts. Since you're Erlang's brother, you're my brother too. Stop acting so nervous."
"Thank you for your understanding, Your Majesty!"
The strongman bowed gratefully before leaving to handle the construction arrangements with Bue.
As for Bue, his ambitions had already been crushed beyond repair.
Originally, he thought that even if Axel recruited powerful allies, he could still become the third or fourth leader under him.
But now?
How could he possibly compare himself to Erlang Shen and Bull Demon King, legendary figures feared by both righteous and demonic factions?
As for Zhu Bajie, he silently hid himself in a corner, too embarrassed to speak.
Bull Demon King eventually walked over and heavily patted him on the shoulder.
"Marshal Tianpeng."
His voice was surprisingly calm.
"Forget the past. Monkey and I both understand what it means to be used as pawns. None of us could escape it.
Big Brother already promised me he'll recover my beloved's soul and arrange her reincarnation. Once she returns, you can apologize to her personally, and this grudge will finally end."
"Ah... well..."
Zhu Bajie awkwardly scratched his head.
"Brother Niu, I really was wrong back then. I thought you were just fooling around with that fox wo, cough cough... I mean, I thought you weren't serious about Lady Jade Face.
Who would've thought you genuinely fell in love?
Still, Old Pig is curious. How is Princess Iron Fan doing these days?"
"You damned pig!"
Bull Demon King instantly exploded.
"I already divorced Princess Iron Fan. She has nothing to do with me anymore!
And you, you dead pig, I let you off too easily back then. Come take a hit from your Grandpa Niu!"
The Bull Demon King immediately grabbed his steel cudgel and charged after Zhu Bajie.
Back then, while he had been lured away by Sun Wukong to Flaming Mountain, Zhu Bajie broke into Jilei Mountain, killed Lady Jade Face, and even tore open her clothes just to check her true form.
That hatred had never disappeared.
If he couldn't kill Zhu Bajie, then at the very least he would beat him half to death.
Soon, black winds swept across Little Western Heaven as Zhu Bajie's miserable screams echoed through the area.
Nearby, Ping Ping cheered excitedly.
"Daddy, hit him harder! Avenge Mommy!
Go, Daddy! Daddy's the best! Hit his nose!"
As she shouted, the bracelet on her wrist jingled repeatedly.
The little fox paused briefly before her eyes lit up again.
Uncle Axel really is amazing.
Even Daddy listens to him, and Erlang Shen respects him too.
And he even gave me such a beautiful bracelet...
She happily shook her wrist again, admiring the golden bracelet with sparkling eyes.
Just then, Axel suddenly reappeared before everyone, carrying over three thousand large containers.
Erlang Shen's third eye widened slightly.
"Big Brother, these items... they don't seem to come from the Four Continents."
"Don't call me Great Sage, call me Big Brother."
Axel laughed as he placed the containers down.
"Come on, everyone. I brought food and alcohol from another world. Try something new.
The amount might not be enough for everybody, but I did what I could.
Erlang, help me distribute everything.
After this meal, we'll head to Heaven for a little visit.
First, we'll bring Nezha down from the Heavenly Court, then we'll snatch Li Jing's pagoda and smash it apart for him.
And while we're there, we might as well scare the old Jade Emperor a little. Maybe he'll even send the Queen Mother over to entertain me."
His loud laughter echoed everywhere as he opened the containers one by one.
At the same time, Erlang Shen exhaled a stream of divine wind that instantly carried food and drinks into everyone's hands.
Princess Iron Fan observed the scene carefully before quickly pulling Red Boy over.
"Son, Little Western Heaven is freezing. Without fire, the food and wine will become ice soon.
Why don't you use your Samadhi True Fire to help? Show Great Sage Daddy your value, and let the True Lord see your abilities too.
Wuwu, look at my poor son. He's gotten chubbier from all the beatings."
"Mother!"
Red Boy laughed helplessly before squeezing her hand.
"Don't worry. The True Lord is a genuine hero, and Great Sage Daddy is even greater than him, far stronger than that old bull ever was.
If I'd known they were this powerful, I would've left the South Sea long ago and gone straight to Plum Mountain.
With them leading us, Spirit Mountain will absolutely pay for what they did.
As long as they help me avenge my clan, I'll respect them like my own ancestors.
The hatred inside me has frozen into my bones."
The moment he finished speaking, Red Boy slammed his fist against his nose.
Boom!
The Samadhi True Fire erupted into the sky, surrounding the demons and creating warmth throughout the entire region.
Seeing this, Axel walked over and casually rubbed Red Boy's head.
"Good job, little brat. Keep it up."
"Understood, Great Sage Daddy!"
Red Boy's face lit up with excitement.
Finally.
The day had come when he could slaughter the monks of Spirit Mountain and avenge his people.
