Chapter 32 The Little Fairy of the Peach Garden
Chapter 32 The Little Fairy of the Peach Garden
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for picking five 3,000-year-old peaches. You have received 5 tokens.]
"Such a big tree, yet only five trees are mature."
"But the peaches are just so big, we couldn't carry them all after just a few!"
Having learned her lesson from the experience of throwing peaches, she prepared a small cloth bag in advance this time.
After placing all five peaches in the bag, he carefully hung it around his neck.
Therefore, this thing blocked my view.
Otherwise, one would definitely see a bunch of immortals standing below, each wielding a cold blade.
"Heave-ho, heave-ho."
The tree was so tall that it took her most of her strength to climb down. When she finally managed to put her feet on solid ground, Xiao Yangjiao sat down on the ground with a thud, leaning against the peach tree and panting. Her throat felt dry.
Would you like to have one to quench your thirst?
Little Yang Jiao couldn't resist the temptation of the peaches. Just as she secretly slipped one into her bundle, a pair of bright yellow beaded boots suddenly appeared in her lowered gaze.
Her heart tightened.
Oh no! Did the local earth god catch us?
With a gentle touch, the peach rolled to the front of the boot.
It was then picked up by a large, bony hand.
Following Taozi's gaze upwards, Xiao Yangjiao finally saw the person in front of her clearly.
The newcomer was about the same age as the Taiyi Zhenren, but lacked the Zhenren's amiability. He wore a dark, wide robe and had a beard of medium length. He held the peach in his hand, but his eyes were fixed on the little man in front of him.
When did a child appear in Heaven?
"Which celestial official are you descended from?"
The powerful and imposing tone made Xiao Yangjiao shrink back in fright.
Are all the gods in heaven fierce-looking?
As she was considering how to slip away...
When the man's fingers touched her brow, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Then.
"Ok?"
He was quite curious. Who had such powerful means to conceal all of this child's aura, making it impossible for him to see through her even slightly?
Seeing the confusion on the uncle's face.
Xiao Yangjiao immediately made a conclusion.
This must be a newly ascended, ignorant little deity; otherwise, he would have already shouted and summoned heavenly soldiers and generals to capture him.
Thinking of this, her big eyes on her small face darted around.
"Uncle, are you a deity who just arrived here?"
As Xiao Yangjiao asked, she deliberately placed her hands in front of her chest, trying to hide the bulging, overflowing bundle.
Instead of answering his own question, the man asked in return:
"And you? Which family's little deity are you?"
Xiao Yangjiao smiled mysteriously, trying to fool him.
"Me? I'm someone with a very powerful background!"
Her eyes crinkled into crescents, and her hidden thoughts were laid bare on her face.
The old man, intrigued, bent down to look the little girl in the eye and asked, feigning surprise:
"Oh? What kind of background does that little immortal have?"
In terms of status, if the Jade Emperor of Heaven acknowledged it, she would be his niece! She would be on par with a princess.
Thinking of this, she became incredibly proud.
Xiao Yangjiao covered her mouth with one hand and smiled, pointing to the sky with the other, her words flowing out from between her fingers.
"I have connections above me!"
His adorable appearance momentarily stunned him, and a tender feeling welled up in his heart as he recalled having a similarly charming and innocent person in his childhood.
He reached out and tugged at the little girl's hair bun, saying:
“You do resemble my sister somewhat. Come to think of it, I haven’t seen her for several days.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yangjiao began to sized up the man. Her mother had said that she was the cutest and prettiest little girl, but while the man in front of her was fairly decent-looking, he wasn't particularly handsome.
Then, out of curiosity, he asked:
Is your sister this pretty too?
"Haha, my little sister has grown up, but she was just as shameless as you when she was little."
Embarrassed, Yang Jiao's cheeks puffed up slightly in anger.
The man then said:
"Their angry gestures are even more convincing now."
After speaking, the man seemed to be lost in a memory, and the expression on his face softened even more.
Xiao Yang Jiao grumbled for a while, then, fearing that she would be discovered if she stayed any longer, she quickly stuffed the peach, which was already covered in dust, into his hand.
"Here, this peach is for you. Just pretend you've never seen me before, okay?"
The middle-aged man raised an eyebrow:
"bribe?"
"Mmm." Xiao Yangjiao tilted her head, lingering her gaze on the peach for a moment before continuing, "This is our secret."
"Okay, you've managed to bribe me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yangjiao was so happy that her hair was shaking, and then she took off running away.
After she left, a line of heavenly soldiers and generals suddenly appeared beside the unknown, immortal uncle.
His face was devoid of any warmth as he gave the order in a deep voice:
"Go and inform the Queen Mother that I have picked ten immortal peaches."
"Send Curtain Roller to check if those few have new little fairy attendants with them."
Here
Little Yang Jiao, clutching a handful of peaches, hid in a corner of the peach orchard for a long time, but Nezha still didn't come.
He then groped his way back to the back of the South Heavenly Gate, found a place with thick clouds and fog, and squatted down there.
She had already taken a nap, but Nezha still hadn't returned.
Judging by the time, he should have already beaten up the Dragon King of the East Sea and transformed into the Jade Emperor by now, right?
Just as Xiao Yangjiao was getting impatient, she heard another buzzing sound in her ears, and her eyes lit up.
A bee flew right in front of her, staring right into her eyes without any fear of people.
"Hahaha, I knew it was you, Nezha."
As soon as he finished speaking, the little bee flew around him twice, then dissipated into its original form as the smoke cleared.
It was Nezha!
"You recognized me even though I didn't." Nezha said this, but he was still very happy.
My little sister really admires me; she can recognize me no matter what I transform into.
However, despite being happy, he still asked her with great concern:
"Just now I saw a lot of heavenly soldiers and generals suddenly appear in the Peach Garden, and I couldn't find you. I was so worried."
Xiao Yangjiao became nervous.
"Huh? They noticed the peaches were missing?"
"No, that's not it. The peaches can be magically raised a hundred meters during the day and only return to normal at night. It's not now that we've discovered them."
No wonder, after hearing Nezha say that, she remembered that she had worked hard to pick the peaches from the pupa and even took one out to bribe the uncle.
However, there are still four left!
She immediately pulled one out and handed it to Nezha, saying ingratiatingly:
"Thank you for bringing me to heaven. This is my gift of gratitude."
"For me? Hahaha, my sister gave me a gift."
Nezha was overjoyed and immediately declared, "When I get back, I'll dye this dragon tendon pink!"
Xiao Yangjiao's smile froze instantly.
There's absolutely no need for that...
He carefully put the peach away, then happily recounted his achievement.
"As soon as that old mudfish entered the South Heavenly Gate, I transformed into the Jade Emperor and tricked him into a secluded spot where I gave him a good beating. If that fat immortal hadn't suddenly appeared and pulled him out, I would have already plucked his dragon scales and polished them to make a mirror for you."
"What does the Jade Emperor look like?"
Xiao Yangjiao became curious. Her mother was so beautiful, so her older brother shouldn't look like the portrait on the ghost money, right?
"You haven't seen the Jade Emperor yet?" Nezha made a hand gesture and said, "Wait, I'll transform for you."
A wisp of smoke suddenly rose from his body, and within the smoke, Nezha's figure suddenly rose higher, soon appearing in a bright yellow court robe.
Just as Xiao Yangjiao saw the chin and felt it looked somewhat familiar...
"Oh no! The heavenly soldiers are coming to close the South Heavenly Gate!"
