Chapter 191 The Great Golden Crow Reports to the Heavenly Court
"found it."
Above the mouth of the Guanjiang River, the golden crow, clad in golden armor and wielding the Queen Mother of the West's magical artifact, finally found the aura of Yao Ji.
"only……"
The Great Golden Crow looked at the entire Yangjia Village with a puzzled expression.
No wonder we couldn't find Aunt Yaoji; it turns out there was a particularly mysterious aura surrounding her.
The entire Yangjia Village was filled with an ethereal atmosphere, which puzzled the Great Golden Crow even more.
As he walked, he came to a mansion so luxurious it seemed out of place in a village. Suddenly, he grabbed a woman passing by and asked urgently:
Who lives in this house?
The woman had just returned from buying groceries when she saw the Golden Crow, so imposing and dignified, and overheard him inquiring about the Yang family. She immediately guessed:
Someone with such an air of authority must be a relative of Madam Yang, right?
The lady looked like a fairy descended from heaven.
After thinking it over, the woman smiled warmly and said:
"This family is quite remarkable; it belongs to Yang Tianyou's family in the village."
Yang Tianyou?
The Great Golden Crow had never heard of this person's name before.
As she frowned, the woman became even more enthusiastic:
"His wife is truly beautiful, and she has three adorable children. You must be related to his wife, right?"
"Speaking of which, I have a special connection with the Yang family. I delivered all three of their children."
Three... children...
The Great Golden Crow could hardly believe that the person this woman was talking about was his aunt, who was a goddess of the Desire Realm, free from desires and wants.
He could only ask in utter disbelief:
"Is his wife named... Yao Ji?"
When these words came out of the mouth of the Golden Crow, he himself felt a heavy weight on his heart.
Please, please, it can't be my aunt...
The person who made such a mistake must not be the aunt.
"Yes! That's the name."
The woman was still smiling.
But the dignified man's face trembled, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
He took a deep look at the Yang residence, his fist clenched and unclenched repeatedly, and finally transformed into a streak of light and ascended into the sky.
The woman spoke with some pride about her delivery, and turned to elaborate, but then she turned back:
"Huh? What about people?"
The Yang family members were strange, and so were the relatives of the Yang family's wife; they disappeared in the blink of an eye.
She forgot about it as soon as she thought about it, and happily went home to cook.
The Golden Crow, who rushed back to the Heavenly Court, dared not delay. It was against the Heavenly Law that a deity descended to earth to marry and have children, and he felt extremely reluctant but dared not cover it up.
Upon entering the Jade Pool, they found no trace of the Queen Mother of the West. Only after inquiring did they learn that she had gone to the Lingxiao Palace.
So the golden crow turned around and headed in that direction again.
This matter was so important that he went in without even being informed.
Upon reaching the pillar, they witnessed a scene that left them speechless.
The Queen Mother of the West was dressed in magnificent robes, adorned with pearl chains and gold hairpins, exuding solemnity and nobility.
But when the Jade Emperor was away, he cautiously sat in the seat of the ruler of the Three Realms...
The Golden Crow's pupils contracted as it heard the fawning words of the Heavenly Slave inside:
"Your Majesty, you look so comfortable sitting here."
The Queen Mother glanced at him sideways, adjusted the pearl hairpin on her head, and felt a mix of relief and unbearable sorrow in her heart.
They were jointly granted the title of Heavenly Court with the Jade Emperor, and as long as the Three Realms remained in their hands, that was enough.
“This spot…” she murmured as she traced the embroidery on the cushion with her delicate hand, “Sitting on it really feels different.”
"This seat belongs to His Majesty, but the power..."
Before Tiannu could finish speaking, the Queen Mother's expression changed, and she gave him a stern warning look:
"The power also belongs to His Majesty!"
Tiannu immediately bowed his head in fear and said:
"Yes, yes, the power belongs to His Majesty, and also... to Her Majesty..."
The Queen Mother of the West said nothing more to Tiannu, but rose and sat in her seat. Suddenly sensing the Jade Emperor's presence, she murmured softly:
"Rights? The Heavenly Laws are the true rights."
After finishing his business in the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor walked into the palace, looking somewhat tired.
"His Majesty."
The Queen Mother of the West immediately rose to greet her.
Before the Jade Emperor could speak, suddenly, his brows furrowed, he looked at the pillar, and said in a deep voice:
"Great Golden Crow, now that you're here, why don't you come in?"
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother of the West showed no discomfort whatsoever, clearly indicating that she already knew the location of the Great Golden Crow.
She lowered her eyes and waited.
Upon hearing his name called, the Great Golden Crow ceased hiding and hurriedly knelt down to kowtow:
"Greetings, Your Majesty; greetings, Your Majesty... Your Highness."
"Get up." The Queen Mother's gaze shifted from the giant golden crow to the other side, and she asked, "Have you found out?"
The Great Golden Crow immediately looked at the Jade Emperor.
Only then did the Jade Emperor become slightly alarmed, and asked in a deep voice:
"What were you investigating?"
The Queen Mother of the West said with a smile:
"All the female immortals under my jurisdiction are under my control, but Yao Ji, as the goddess of the Desire Realm, has abandoned her post and disappeared for more than ten days. I only sent the Great Golden Crow down to investigate."
Having said that, the smile vanished from his face, and he said in a deep voice to the Great Golden Crow:
"Speak, what did you find out?"
The Great Golden Crow glanced at the Jade Emperor in fear, then bowed and reported:
"My son discovered that my aunt married and had three children in the mortal realm..."
"This is outrageous!"
The Queen Mother slammed her hand on the table, her face suddenly contorted with anger.
She assumed that Yao Ji had been delayed by something and that a minor punishment would suffice, but little did she know that she dared to break the heavenly rules!
"Why haven't you sent troops to capture Yao Ji yet?!"
Now that the matter was out in the open, the Jade Emperor's expression darkened slightly.
He knew that the Queen Mother was not wrong; she only wanted the Heavenly Court to be well and valued the Heavenly Rules more than anything else.
Normally, the Jade Emperor respects the Queen Mother, even though she imposes the weight of the Heavenly Laws on the gods. But the person he is dealing with right now is his own sister.
How could the Jade Emperor stand idly by?
He slowly raised his hand and said gently:
"Yao Ji rules the Desire Realm, so how could she have desires? There must be some hidden reason. We can summon her to heaven and ask her."
"Your Majesty!" The Queen Mother looked back at the Jade Emperor with strong disapproval. Her eyes were filled with tears from years of hard work in maintaining order in the Heavenly Court. She frowned and said, "If all the gods follow Yao Ji's example in the future, then there will be no need for the Heavenly Court to exist!"
The Jade Emperor's fingers trembled; he knew how arduous their journey had been.
Still unwilling to offend the Queen Mother, he asked gently:
Is falling in love really that terrible?
"horrible!"
The Queen Mother of the West waved her sleeve, pointed at the Lingxiao Palace, and said sternly:
"When even immortals fall in love, the three realms are thrown into turmoil!"
"Capture Yao Ji immediately, without fail!"
If Yao Ji were to break the rules, countless other immortals would follow suit!
From now on, the order of the entire Heavenly Court will exist in name only.
"Wait a minute."
The Jade Emperor slammed his hand on the table. It seemed that he could no longer cover up Yao Ji's affair.
All we can do is prevent things from escalating too much; the rest is up to us.
He said in a deep voice:
"Issue the decree to order Marshal Tianpeng, who is stationed at the Milky Way, to descend to the mortal realm together."
The Queen Mother of the West was unaware of Marshal Tianpeng's origins or the background of his story. She only smiled after seeing that the Jade Emperor had acknowledged her.
The Heavenly Laws are inviolable, and only in this way can they better maintain the Heavenly Court.
……
After the heatwave subsided abruptly.
The burning sensation on Yang Jiao's body subsided, immediately replaced by a chill.
finally coming?
【Ding. 】
[System notification: The host's original life-or-death tribulation has arrived. Successfully overcoming this tribulation will allow the system to upgrade to version 2.0.]
"Ah."
She was anxiously making plans.
He then quickly turned and headed towards Yang Jian's room. Peeking through the window, he saw that three years had passed, and Jian'er was still in meditation.
A strong sense of crisis filled Yang Jiao with unprecedented panic.
