Taking in Red Boy, Scarface King arrives at One Finger Mountain
"Xue'er, you..."
Bibi Dong felt a little embarrassed. They had just reconciled, wasn't it a bit inappropriate to trouble Qian Renxue so soon?
Princess Iron Fan noticed Bibi Dong's predicament and, fearing it would further damage their relationship, took the initiative to speak up.
"Xue'er, this is what happened. I heard from Dong'er that you are now Seventh-Rank Mountain God in the Heavenly Court, so I brought Red Boy Red Boy here to see if he has a chance to enter the Heavenly Court."
"Of course, niece Xue'er, you don't need to feel awkward. I was just asking casually, and also to check on my sworn brother on behalf of my husband."
"Does Red Boy want to become Heavenly Court Official Deity?"
Qian Renxue looked at Red Boy was dressed even less than Nezha.
She had no objection to Princess Iron Fan. Bibi Dong's origins were in the Blood Sea, so the two sides would definitely become close in the future. It was just that this matter was indeed a bit difficult to handle.
"Can't Aunt Rakshasa find a place for Red Boy?"
Qian Renxue asked.
Princess Iron Fan smiled wryly and said, "Although I have the Blood Sea behind me, why would the Ancestor care about such things?"
"Red Boy's father is quite strong, and he has indeed thought of a solution to this matter."
At this point, Princess Iron Fan glanced at Sun Wukong, "The key is that old bull has an arrogant personality. He failed to get favors from people several times and even offended them. Later, he made several sworn brothers and got a name in the Heavenly Court..."
At this point, Princess Iron Fan's voice softened, and Sun Wukong smiled sheepishly.
Qian Renxue understood. Sun Wukong was the sworn brother of the Bull Demon King. Then Sun Wukong committed a crime, which implicated several demons. Moreover, those demons were not clean themselves.
"But I am currently only Seventh-Rank Mountain God, and the power I wield is truly..."
Having no other option, Qian Renxue decided to politely decline.
Just then, Sun Wukong spoke.
"Hey, Little Mountain God, you're no longer an ordinary Mountain God, you've become an immortal."
"If you ask Old Sun, Old Sun, why don't you just take Red Boy as your protector? That way, you'll have someone to run errands for you, and you can focus on your cultivation. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
"Old Sun, really can't bear to see my nephew have nowhere to go. Consider it a favor Old Sun owe you, how about it?"
Qian Renxue's eyes widened upon hearing this. "Guardian God? Great Sage, you must be joking. Back then, Di Tian had no choice because he was new to the Primordial World. How could I possibly be worthy of Red Boy as my guardian god?"
"Why not? You haven't seen many Immortal Official, and there are some things you don't understand."
Sun Wukong explained, "Did you know that many Immortal Official have guardian deities?"
"Most Immortal Official possess immense power derived from magical abilities, but their martial arts skills are mediocre, making them unsuitable for close combat. Therefore, they need to find individuals with strong martial arts skills to act as their guards or mounts."
How do you rate your martial arts skills? If you are promoted and sent elsewhere in the future, will your safety be guaranteed?
"You've only seen Nezha and Yang Jian, but little do you know that one of them is an incarnation of a celestial lotus root, and the other has even cultivated the legendary Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, possessing an incredibly strong physical body. Furthermore, their three eyes are imbued with both supernatural powers and martial arts skills, which is why these two don't have guardian deities."
This was the first time Qian Renxue had ever heard of such a 'secret'.
Princess Iron Fan nodded and said, "What the Great Sage said is right. Looking at the entire Primordial World now, among the new generation, only Nezha, Erlang Shen, and the Great Sage have the strongest martial arts. As for Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, he was a skilled warrior when he led troops in the mortal world, but now all his abilities depend on the pagoda in his hand."
After digesting the information, Qian Renxue recalled the scene of the battle at Flower-Fruit Mountain and finally understood that there were such distinctions among the Immortal Official.
She also wanted to be powerful in martial arts, but it was obviously impossible. The first thing a person with high martial arts skills needs is a strong physical body. She didn't have either the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts that she had heard of for the first time or the secret medicine for body refining.
Therefore, she can only cultivate magic and supernatural powers in the future.
Seeing that Qian Renxue seemed to have figured it out, Princess Iron Fan seized the opportunity to speak again:
"Xue'er, Red Boy's martial arts are quite respectable, and he also possesses the divine power of the Samadhi True Fire. The Taishang Laojun Laozi uses this fire to refine elixirs; it is extremely powerful. Let's keep him as a guardian deity."
"That way, your mother won't have to worry about your safety, and I won't have to fret about Red Boy causing trouble. It's just that you, my niece, will need to discipline him more."
"Samadhi True Fire? The fire used by Laozi (the Taishang Laojun Lao) for refining elixirs?"
Qian Renxue was so surprised she couldn't close her mouth, and then she shook her head repeatedly.
"With such supernatural powers, wouldn't it be a waste for Red Boy to follow me? Besides, he's not even a Heavenly Court official to be my guardian deity."
Princess Iron Fan laughed and said, "Protecting you is a waste? You can also help me control Red Boy, so it's a win-win situation. As for not having a formal position, I'm not worried."
"I have high hopes for your future. Red Boy has a bright future with you."
Having said that, Qian Renxue no longer wanted to refuse.
Then she looked at Red Boy.
"Then would you be willing to come with me?"
Red Boy was naturally unwilling, but he now saw with his own eyes that this opportunity was something his mother had worked hard to obtain.
Whether out of reverence for their mother or out of filial piety, they couldn't bring themselves to refuse.
"I'll listen to my mother, but my followers in the Withered Pine Ravine call me the Great King Holy Infant. I can't just ignore them; I have to move them here!"
Qian Renxue felt a wave of embarrassment. She was so small, yet she had become a mountain king.
Will the whole mountain be covered in naked bottoms by then?
Don't worry, there's enough room in Five Finger Mountain.
Qian Renxue readily agreed, saying that with the Great Sage around, she had nothing to fear.
"Red Boy, your sister Xue'er has granted all your requests and treated you well. From now on, you must be obedient. If you cause any trouble for your sister Xue'er, then you shouldn't call me Mother anymore."
Princess Iron Fan issued another solemn warning.
"I see."
Red Boy also plans to settle down and work hard.
"Okay, you wait here. I'll personally go to Withered Pine Ravine to bring your brothers over. At least you'll have someone to command."
Qian Renxue felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her again. Were all those from the Blood Sea this ruthless in their actions?
Princess Iron Fan was very fast. Since they were already in the Southern Jambudvipa, and with the help of the Banana Leaf Fan, Princess Iron Fan quickly sent over a large group of naked children pushing a train.
"Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
A group of children bowed as soon as they were born.
Red Boy regained his former glory as the Great King Holy Infant and introduced Qian Renxue to them, saying, "Listen up, all of you, from now on, she's my boss."
"Greetings, Boss!"
Please rise quickly.
Qian Renxue never expected to have to bring children with her to the Primordial World, but these children were really something else; she wondered where Red Boy had plundered them from.
"Xue'er, now that this matter is settled, I will return to the Blood Sea to cultivate."
Although Bibi Dong was very reluctant to leave, she had to go; at least she needed to report the situation to the Ancestor Minghe.
Be careful on the road.
"Okay, please take good care of Red Boy. I'll come to see you when I have time."
Princess Iron Fan left with Bibi Dong.
Qian Renxue looked at the child staring intently at her and smiled helplessly.
"From now on, you will live on this mountain. Do not disturb the Great Sage, nor harm anyone. Follow Red Boy's orders in everything."
With Qian Renxue making the arrangements, Five Finger Mountain is no longer as lonely as before.
Only then did Flender and Xiao Wu, who had rushed back, dare to step forward.
Congratulations to the Mountain God on his ascension to immortality.
Qian Renxue didn't bother with further conversation with the two. "What do you want?"
"Now that you've become an immortal, can you let Third Brother come over?"
As soon as Xiao Wu spoke, Qian Renxue frowned.
"How can I decide the merging of the two realms? I will return when the time is right. If there is nothing else, please leave."
Qian Renxue flicked her sleeves and went back to the Mountain God Temple.
Over the next few days, a cave was carved out on One Finger Mountain.
With Qian Renxue watching over them, Red Boy and his men behaved themselves quite well.
Red Boy himself wanted to reform, mainly because he didn't want to disappoint his mother's good intentions again, and he forbade his subordinates from eating rice and meat.
In just a few days, many of his men had quietly deserted, leaving only a few dozen behind.
Since their paths diverged, they could not work together. Red Boy did not pursue the matter further.
Life gradually calmed down, and Red Boy kept his promise, listening to the instructions in front of the Mountain God Temple every day.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the brief peace of Five Finger Mountain was broken by a disheveled figure.
"Damn it, don't let this king find out who you are! How dare you bully me like this! If only my Nine-Colored Gauze were still here..."
The newcomer turned out to be Scarface.
When Xiao Wu stole his Nine-Colored Gauze and ran away, he began to torture Yu Xiaogang after regaining his senses, but later Yu Xiaogang also disappeared right under his nose.
Knowing he had offended too many people and that his life would be in danger without the Nine-Colored Gauze, Scarface King left Bai Ze Ridge.
But a few days ago, a Black Tiger with profound cultivation suddenly targeted him, and he fled in all directions.
Unwittingly, they were drawn into a strange gust of wind and swept to this place.
"Where is this? The environment is even better than Bai Ze Ridge. Those two mountains are so strange. One looks like a human hand, and the other looks so much like my Golden Finger!"
Scarface King looked down and examined his hands.
Back then, my skills captivated Princess Wu. Tsk, such a high-quality concubine, it's a pity her heart wasn't with him.
At the same time, he vaguely sensed that this place had an inexplicable connection to him.
"Hehe, interesting, this great king will go and see."
