Chapter 32: Take a Hit from Yours Truly, Sun Wukong

In the heavenly palace, amidst a dazzling array of palaces, there was a crystal palace where the Jade Emperor resided.

The Jade Emperor sat high on the dragon throne, with the Scroll-Curtain Great General standing beside him. Below, two figures awaited – they were the heavenly scouts, Qianli Yan and Shunfeng Er.

The Jade Emperor spoke, "This Bi Ma Wen has been in the heavenly realm for quite some time. What has he been up to, and with whom does he associate in his daily life?"

Qianli Yan and Shunfeng Er bowed respectfully and replied, "Your Majesty, since Bi Ma Wen arrived in the heavenly realm, he has been leisurely wandering around every day. Recently, for some reason, he has become close friends with Marshal Tianpeng. The Marshal frequently visits his Horse Stable, and not long ago, the two even visited Guanghan Palace together."

The Jade Emperor said, "Continue to gather information about everything Bi Ma Wen does. Report to me regularly."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Qianli Yan and Shunfeng Er acknowledged the order, bowed, and left the hall.

After they departed, the Jade Emperor looked towards the Thirty-Three Heavens, sneering, "Old man, although you have placed your pieces well, whether this piece can survive until the end remains to be seen. Last time, Marshal Tianpeng intervened and saved him. Otherwise, he would have been sent to the Execution Platform."

Then, turning to the Scroll-Curtain Great General, he coldly said, "Issue an edict to Li Jing, instruct him to find a pretext to kill that monkey. Also, order Tianpeng to train the navy at the Tianhe River. Without my command, he is not allowed to leave!"

"Yes!"

The Scroll-Curtain Great General accepted the order, bowed, and left the hall.

...

It had been over half a month since their last visit to Guanghan Palace. Tianpeng Marshal almost came to the Horse Stable every day, pestering Sun Wukong to accompany him to see Chang'e.

Finally, Sun Wukong, annoyed by his constant requests, agreed to go with him.

"You're really spineless, wasting such magical powers. You don't even have the courage to meet a girl. Did you forget the seven magical words I taught you for picking up girls?" Sun Wukong couldn't help but mock Tianpeng Marshal on the way.

Tianpeng Marshal, hearing Sun Wukong's words, didn't get upset. Instead, he grinned and tried to please him, "Monkey Brother, what you said is true. But I can't change overnight, can I?"

Reaching halfway, a divine general suddenly blocked the path of the two. He said, "By the decree of His Majesty, Marshal Tianpeng is immediately ordered to train the navy in the Tianhe River. Without His Majesty's permission, he is not allowed to go out without authorization."

After speaking, he handed the golden decree in his hand to Marshal Tianpeng.

Marshal Tianpeng took the decree, his face full of bitterness, sighed, and said, "Monkey Brother, I can't go to Guanghan Palace anymore. Please explain my situation to Chang'e, so that she won't misunderstand that I am unwilling to visit her."

Sun Wukong patted Marshal Tianpeng on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, she won't think that way." In his mind, he added, "Because she doesn't really care about you."

Marshal Tianpeng was overjoyed and said, "I entrust everything to you, Monkey Brother. I'll go now."

After that, riding on a cloud, he flew towards the Tianhe River.

Sun Wukong shook his head, did a somersault, and headed towards Guanghan Palace.

He was a man of his word. Since he promised Marshal Tianpeng, he would definitely do it, even though Tianpeng was not an important figure to Chang'e.

In the distance, behind countless clouds and mist, a pair of heavenly soldiers stood in formation, led by a god holding a pagoda. It was the sluggish Heavenly King Li Jing!

Li Jing said, "Starting now, our task is to closely monitor Sun Wukong. Once he makes a mistake, immediately capture him."

"Yes!"

The heavenly soldiers responded loudly.

Just as Sun Wukong arrived at Guanghan Palace, before he could use his somersault cloud, he heard Chang'e's angry shout, "How dare you, Wu Gang! You actually dared to do this to me! Aren't you afraid of the Jade Emperor's decree, sending you to the Execution Platform?"

Sun Wukong fixed his gaze and saw Chang'e and Yu'er confronting a robust man named Wu Gang. Both women seemed to be injured, judging by their expressions.

Wu Gang laughed heartily, saying, "I have been devoted to you for tens of thousands of years, waiting for you patiently. But you never looked at me, and even invited Marshal Tianpeng to visit here frequently."

"If I don't take action now, won't I just watch you fall into someone else's hands?"

Chang'e rebuked, "Aren't you afraid of violating heavenly laws?"

Wu Gang showed a disdainful expression, saying, "As long as I get you, what does it matter if I violate heavenly laws? Moreover, if you dare to speak out about this, the entire Three Realms will know that Chang'e, the fairy of Guanghan Palace, was defiled by Wu Gang. Even if I die, it will be worth it."

With an obscene smile, he pounced towards Chang'e.

Chang'e, despite having Yu'er's assistance, couldn't stop Wu Gang. In just a few rounds, she was subdued by him.

"Wu Gang! I will not let you succeed even if I die!" Chang'e, about to commit suicide, declared.

"Stop! How dare you, vile scoundrel! Taste my Monkey King's staff!"

At the moment Chang'e was about to end her life, a resounding voice echoed in her ears.

Immediately after, Sun Wukong descended majestically from the sky, delivering a powerful blow that caused Wu Gang to spew blood and collapse.

"Damn you, Wu Gang! How dare you defile Chang'e, the fairy!" Sun Wukong shouted angrily.

Wu Gang spat out a mouthful of blood, aware of the vast difference in strength between him and Sun Wukong. He glared at Sun Wukong with intense resentment, saying, "I hate you! I'm unwilling! If not for you, I would have succeeded today! But you won't have it easy either!"

After saying that, his body swelled rapidly.

"Not good!"

Sun Wukong was greatly alarmed; Wu Gang was about to self-destruct! He quickly drew a barrier to protect Chang'e and Yu'er.

Boom!

A deafening explosion resounded, and half of Guanghan Palace was destroyed. The Moon Palace was in ruins, a scene of devastation.

Fortunately, Chang'e and Yu'er were protected by Sun Wukong and suffered no harm.
