106: Harmony between husband and wife is a blessing

In the guest room, several people looked at Ao Lie, who was gnawing on an immortal peach, and were speechless.

"Great Immortal, this... why did he change back again?"

Tang Ku turned to look at Great Immortal Zhenyuan, hoping he could give him an explanation.

"His soul was too severely damaged; it can't fully recover overnight!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan said calmly, "Don't worry, the medicine is still working, but it's not that fast. His condition will recur in the future, and I don't know when he'll be completely cured. Let's just wait and see!"

"Ao Lie should have some important information!"

Tang Ku helplessly looked at his foolish Disciple and said, "But... in this situation, I'm afraid we won't be able to get anything out of him!"

Ao Lie was seen gnawing on the peach while wiping his hands on Wu Zhen's monk robe. Wu Zhen had reverted to that lifeless state, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Nezha said, "Since there's hope, that's good... Hmm, what do we do next? We now roughly know an enemy stronghold, which is Little Mount Sumeru. Should we try to take it down in one fell swoop first?"

Tang Ku helplessly said, "Our combat power is insufficient. After our disturbance, the enemy must be even more heavily guarded. Perhaps a net of heaven and earth and countless powerful experts are already waiting for us. So, before we are fully prepared, it's best not to act!"

Before Zhen Yuanzi could speak, Bull Demon King suddenly rushed in from outside the door, bowed to Zhen Yuanzi, and kowtowed three times, expressing his gratitude: "Thank you, Great Immortal, for saving her. My wife has now woken up. Although her body is still weak, her spirit has recovered a lot. I, this old Niu Mowang, thank the Great Immortal on behalf of my wife!"

Great Immortal Zhenyuan smiled and said, "It's nothing. You two are a harmonious couple; you still have a long life ahead!"

"You old Niu Mowang are ignorant. Who told you to thank the Great Immortal for me?"

A clear voice came from outside the door. It turned out Princess Iron Fan was already able to get out of bed and move around. She said, "I can move freely now, but you never believe me. See, aren't I walking on my own now?"

With a defiant and forthright personality and a beautiful, ethereal appearance, this was the true Princess Iron Fan. Although her Face was still a little pale, that vigor was already evident on her pretty Face.

"Disciple Rakshasi thanks the Great Immortal for saving her life!"

Princess Iron Fan gracefully bowed, then turned to the old Niu Mowang and said, "Where is your thank-you gift? Hurry up and bring it out!"

The old Niu Mowang was stunned, then remembered what she was talking about. Now, the two of them had nothing but that Magic Treasure that could be considered presentable.

But this thing was Princess Iron Fan's Magic Treasure; how could it be easily given away?

The old Niu Mowang's Face showed a hint of hesitation; he didn't know what to say.

"You old Niu Mowang, why are you becoming more and more indecisive?" Princess Iron Fan glared at him. Only then did the old Niu Mowang reluctantly open his mouth, spit out the Palm Leaf Fan, and hand it to Princess Iron Fan, saying, "This... this is your only Magic Treasure, you..."

"What 'you'? This thing is mine. I'll give it to whoever I want. Besides, Great Immortal Zhenyuan saved my life, and saving my life is equivalent to saving your old life. The gratitude for these two lives cannot be exchanged for ten times more Palm Leaf Fans, yet you're still unwilling? Go stand aside!"

Princess Iron Fan snatched the Palm Leaf Fan and jumped up to kick the old Niu Mowang's backside.

Bull Demon King rubbed his butt, mumbled a few words, then stood up, snorting with anger: "In front of so many people, you should at least give me some Face!"

"Give what Face!" Princess Iron Fan pointed at the old Niu Mowang's nose and cursed, "Don't forget all the outrageous things you've done before. I haven't forgiven you yet!"

Bull Demon King was speechless, mumbling repeatedly, and squatted in the corner to reflect.

"Great Immortal, my husband and I have nothing. Now we only have this. From this day forward, the lives of my husband and I are yours, Great Immortal. As long as you say the word, we will go through fire and water for you. This mere fan, please accept it with a smile, Great Immortal!"

Saying that, Princess Iron Fan respectfully presented the Palm Leaf Fan with both hands.

Great Immortal Zhenyuan stroked his beard and laughed heartily: "You two are really interesting. Alright, alright, this old Dao does not like these external things. When have you ever seen this old Dao use any Magic Treasure? Besides, even if I need to send you on errands in the future, I can't let you go into battle empty-handed. So you should keep this Magic Treasure. If there truly is a place where you can help in the future, you two just need to work together against the enemy. As for what Sanzang said about him leaving the team to save you, that must never happen again!"

Princess Iron Fan nodded, not declining, and respectfully said, "The Great Immortal is right. This old Niu Mowang acted improperly. When we get back, I'll make him kneel on the washboard!"

The old Niu Mowang was almost in tears from injustice and quickly winked at Tang Ku, hoping the monk could intercede for him.

Tang Ku was indeed astute and immediately understood the old Niu Mowang's hint. He clasped his hands together and said to Princess Iron Fan, "Princess, Niu Mowang has already realized his mistake, and he has already been punished once, which counts as atonement. Moreover, if he hadn't been there, I'm afraid you might never have woken up. So, let's consider it a wash, and let it go!"

Princess Iron Fan saw that even Tang Ku said so and couldn't help but nod, saying, "The Holy Monk is right... Hmph, if it weren't for the Great Master's intercession, I would have made you kneel until midnight today. Now, hurry over and thank the Holy Monk!"

Bull Demon King was overjoyed and quickly ran over, bowing repeatedly to Tang Ku.

The group watched the couple's "harmonious" way of getting along and couldn't help but laugh heartily. Wu Zhen even said enviously, "Brother Bull Demon King and sister-in-law have such a good relationship! How wonderful it would be if I had a man who truly loved me!"

Nezha teased from the side, "As a monastic, you shouldn't think about these things. This kind of thing easily violates precepts, you know?"

Wu Zhen turned her head to look at Ao Lie, who was wiping his nose with her monk robe and smiling foolishly at her, and was speechless.

"Holy Monk, you just said that the enemy is powerful now and we lack troops, is that correct?" Princess Iron Fan said to Tang Ku, "My husband and I will return to Cuiyun Mountain now and use the Monster Gathering Banner to gather some friends from the Yao Race Great Sages to help. Then we can take down Little Mount Sumeru in one fell swoop!"

"Not yet, temporarily!"

Tang Ku quickly stopped her, saying, "Inviting them to help now might actually implicate them. The best method now is to slowly accumulate strength and then deliver a heavy blow to the enemy!"

Bull Demon King, however, raised his hand beside his wife and said, "Actually, I have an idea..."
