Balala the Magic Fairy

Inside the Golden Palace of the Shang Kingdom.

Ruyi sat upright on the dragon throne, her eyes swept over the ministers, and she spoke slowly: "In today's battle, you all were brave and fearless, and you have made an indelible contribution to protecting the peace and prosperity of our country and the people."

Jiang Cheng and Yan Lili stood side by side, Tang Wutong stood on one side, and the three of them said in unison: "The Holy Emperor is wise, we are willing to go through fire and water for the Shang Kingdom."

Ruyi nodded slightly and turned her gaze to Lan Wangji: "Lan Xianjun, you have come from afar to help my Shang country repel the enemy. Ruyi will remember this kindness in her heart."

Lan Wangji bowed in return, “Saint Emperor Yihui is very polite. Heaven and Shang are one family. We should support each other.”

Ruyi nodded and looked at Park Seo-joon again: "Lang agreed. Although he suffered misfortune, he was loyal and his ambition is commendable."

Park Seo-joon took a step forward, his face showing determination: "Holy Emperor, although I die, I have no regrets. I only wish that the Shang Kingdom will live forever."

Ruyi pondered for a moment and announced: "Lang agreed. His loyalty and bravery are commendable. He will be named Lady Lang and granted a fairy palace."

Park Seo-joon knelt down to express his gratitude: "I thank the Holy Emperor for his great grace."

Ruyi looked at Jiang Cheng and Yan Lili again and said, "Jiang Cheng and Yan Lili have made great contributions. From today on, Jiang Cheng is appointed as the Great General of the Nation and Yan Lili is appointed as the Fairy Consort of the Nation. I also grant them one hundred elixirs and several magic weapons."

Jiang Cheng and Yan Lili said in unison: "Thank you for your grace, Holy Emperor. We will do our best to protect the Shang Kingdom."

Ruyi finally looked at Tang Wutong and said, "Fairy Tang, you are so kind and have helped my Shang Kingdom. I specially give you fifty elixirs and three magic weapons to express my gratitude."

Tang Wutong bowed and said, "Thank you, Holy Emperor. Tang Wutong is willing to form an eternal alliance with the Shang Kingdom."

Ruyi nodded with satisfaction and announced: "From today on, the whole Shang Kingdom will work together to build a glorious immortal path."

All the ministers responded in unison, and cheers rang out in the Golden Palace.

On that day, Ruyi stood in the air, and wherever she looked, she saw scars.

She sighed softly and waved her jade hand lightly. Immortal power surged. The ruins were covered with greenery and the streets gradually returned to their former prosperity.

"The Holy Emperor is merciful." Seeing this, Meng Jingxian had tears in her eyes and her voice trembled slightly.

Ruyi nodded slightly and said, "The people of Shang are all my subjects, so I will protect them."

Jiang Cheng and Yan Lili smiled at each other, with infinite respect in their hearts: "The Holy Emperor is a blessing to the Shang Nation."

Tang Wutong also nodded and said, "The Saint Emperor's magic is so powerful that the Shang Kingdom will surely be able to regain its vitality."

Ruyi looked into the distance with a determined look: "Although Cao Qinmo has retreated, the hidden danger has not been eliminated. We still need to be vigilant."

Everyone agreed in unison.

Immediately afterwards, Hanlin Prince Kim Soo-hyun was escorted to the Golden Throne Hall by guards.

Ruyi glanced at him coldly with a sharp gaze.

"Kim Soo-hyun, what do you have to say?" Ruyi said in a low voice.

Jin Xiuxian's body trembled slightly, not daring to look directly at Ruyi, and whispered: "Holy Emperor, I deserve to die."

"You secretly communicated with the Zhou Kingdom, destroyed the national defense formation, and caused the capital to fall into crisis. What crime should you be punished for?" Ruyi's voice became colder and colder.

Kim Soo Hyun looked ashen, and knelt down to beg for mercy: "I was coerced by Cao Qinmo, and was confused for a moment. Please, Your Majesty, have mercy on me."

Ruyi snorted coldly, not allowing any explanation: "The laws of Shang Kingdom do not allow you to act recklessly. Come, take Jin Xiuxian to the Sky Prison and wait for your punishment."

The guards took the order and dragged Jin Xiuxian away. Ruyi turned around and said to Meng Jingxian, "Prime Minister, strengthen the defense of the capital and do not be negligent again."

Meng Jingxian accepted the order: "I will obey your order and will strengthen our vigilance."

Jiang Cheng and Yan Lili looked at each other, both filled with rage.

Jiang Cheng stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Saint Emperor, Cao Qinmo has evil intentions. We need to take precautions early."

Ruyi nodded: "Jiang Cheng, you and Yan Lili should strengthen border patrols to prevent any further unusual movements in Zhou State."

"Yes, sir." Jiang Cheng and Yan Lili responded in unison.

Tang Wutong also stepped forward, speaking in a firm tone: "Saint Emperor, although Cao Qinmo's Shadow Guards are strong, the fellow Taoists of Shang Country are not easy to deal with."

Ruyi smiled slightly, with a hint of gratitude in her eyes.

"Fairy Tang, Ruyi thanks you on behalf of the people of Shang."

“Your Majesty, there is no need to thank me. Tang Wutong is willing to share the difficult times with the Shang Kingdom.” Tang Wutong smiled slightly, with determination in her brows.

Ruyi nodded, her eyes swept over the ministers again, and she said in a deep voice: "The peace of Shang requires the joint efforts of all of you. From now on, we must be more vigilant, strengthen our national strength, and ensure the long-term stability of Shang."

All the ministers responded in unison, and the atmosphere in the Golden Palace was solemn and dignified.

Ruyi looked at Yan Lili again and said, "Madam Lihua, I will leave the affairs of the harem to you. I hope you can continue to manage the harem well and share my worries."

Yan Lili took a step forward and bowed respectfully: "Saint Emperor, rest assured, I will do my best to manage the harem and ensure harmony and stability in the harem."

Ruyi nodded with satisfaction and looked at Jiang Cheng again: "Jiang Cheng, you and Yan Lili and her husband are my right-hand men. I hope you can continue to assist me and protect the Shang Kingdom together."

Jiang Cheng and Yan Lili said in unison: "We, the ministers, will do our utmost to assist the Holy Emperor and protect the Shang Kingdom."

Ruyi's gaze finally fell on Tang Wutong: "Fairy Tang, I hope you can continue to stay in Shang State and lend a helping hand to me."

Tang Wutong smiled slightly, cupped his hands and said: "Tang Wutong is willing to stay in Shang State and help the Holy Emperor protect this land."

Ruyi nodded and announced: "From today on, I will grant amnesty to the whole world."

All the ministers responded in unison, and cheers rang out in the Golden Palace.

Ruyi's gaze swept across the ministers again, and finally stopped in the distance.

She believes that Shang State's future will be even better.

The sky was filled with auspicious clouds and fairy music, and the Queen Mother's Peach Festival arrived as scheduled.

Prince Jinbao of Zhou, Imperial Preceptor Cao Qinmo, as well as Prince Ruyi of Shang and Yan Lili were all among the invited guests.

Jin Bao, dressed in a golden dragon robe and looking majestic, stepped into the fairyland of Yaochi.

Cao Qinmo followed closely behind, his black robe fluttering and a sharp look in his eyes.

Ruyi was dressed in a pure white fairy dress, with an extraordinary temperament. Yan Lili was by her side, looking heroic and valiant. The two of them entered the Peach Festival together.

The Queen Mother sat on the Yaochi Lake. Seeing everyone coming, she nodded slightly and said in a fairy voice: "My fellow Taoists, today is the Peach Festival. I hope everyone will enjoy themselves to the fullest."

Jinbao stepped forward, bowed and said, "The Queen Mother lives as long as the heavens. The Zhou Kingdom wishes to have an everlasting friendship with the heavens."

Cao Qinmo's eyes flickered slightly, and he also stepped forward and said, "May the Queen Mother be well and safe."

Ruyi smiled faintly, and said in a fairy-like manner: "Queen Mother, Ruyi represents the Shang Kingdom and wishes the heavenly world prosperity."

Yan Lili followed closely behind, her voice as loud as a bell: "Queen Mother, Lili wishes that the Heaven Realm and the Shang Kingdom will be on good terms forever."

Upon hearing this, Queen Mother of the West smiled and waved her hand gently, and fairy peaches appeared in front of everyone like mushrooms after rain.

The peaches melted in the mouth and exuded an ethereal aura, and all the immortals praised them highly.

However, Cao Qinmo secretly observed Ruyi and made plans in her mind.

Halfway through the banquet, Cao Qinmo suddenly stood up and toasted Ruyi: "Holy Emperor Yihui, I offer you a toast. May the Shang and Zhou kingdoms put aside their hostility and turn their friendship into friendship."

Ruyi's eyes were sharp, and she saw through Cao Qinmo's thoughts, but she just smiled faintly and raised her glass in response: "Master, you are polite. Ruyi hopes that the two countries can coexist peacefully."

Yan Lili frowned slightly, but seeing that Ruyi looked calm, she suppressed her doubts.

The Peach Festival ended in peace and the fairies said goodbye one after another.

Ruyi and Yan Lili left side by side. Cao Qinmo followed them closely with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

Jin Bao saw this and asked in a low voice: "Master, how about this test?"

Cao Qinmo snorted coldly: "The dispute between Zhou and Shang did not start overnight. Your Majesty, you still need to be vigilant."

Jin Bao nodded, his eyes firm: "Don't worry, Imperial Master, I will destroy Shang."

On that day, Yan Lili swept her spiritual sense across the Flower-Fruit Mountain, and the magical power surged, revealing that Sun Wukong was fighting fiercely with the heavenly soldiers and generals.

There was a gleam of determination in her eyes, and with a flash of her figure, she was already on the battlefield.

"Monkey King, if you submit to me, I will ensure peace in Flower-Fruit Mountain." Yan Lili's voice was cold, but with unquestionable firmness.

Sun Wukong wielded his golden cudgel and swept through the army. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Madam Lihua, what ability do you have to make me, Sun Wukong, submit to you?"

Yan Lili did not get angry but laughed instead. The magic weapon in her hand shone brightly. She pointed with one finger and a bright magic light shot directly at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong's expression changed slightly, and he swung his golden cudgel in an attempt to resist, but unexpectedly the fairy light penetrated his defense and hit his chest directly.

"You!" Sun Wukong staggered back, a hint of shock in his eyes.

Yan Lili took the opportunity to step forward, and the magic weapon in her hand turned into a light chain, binding Sun Wukong.

"From now on, you will be my mount." Yan Lili said calmly, but no one dared to question it.

Sun Wukong struggled in vain and finally had no choice but to accept it.

When the news reached the West, Buddha Tathagata was furious when he learned that Sun Wukong had become someone else's mount.

"Amitabha, Sun Wukong is my Buddhist disciple, how can he be inferior to others?" The voice of Tathagata Buddha was low and the Buddha's light shone everywhere.

"Buddha, I would like to go to Shang State and bring Sun Wukong back." Guanyin Bodhisattva stepped forward with a solemn expression.

Buddha Tathagata nodded and said: "Go, and make sure Sun Wukong returns to Buddhism."

Guanyin Bodhisattva took the order and disappeared in the main hall in a flash.

Yan Lili and Sun Wukong were about to return to Shang Kingdom when they suddenly felt Buddha's light shining in the sky and Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared.

"Mrs. Lihua, do you know your sin?" The voice of Guanyin Bodhisattva was solemn, surrounded by Buddha's light.

Yan Lili's expression remained unchanged: "Buddha, what crime have I committed in working for the peace of the Shang Kingdom?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva frowned slightly: "Sun Wukong is my Buddhist disciple, how can he be a mount? Quickly untie him."

Yan Lili was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "What the Bodhisattva said is absolutely right, I am willing to set the Monkey King free."

She waved her hand, the light chain dissipated, and Sun Wukong regained his freedom.

Sun Wukong looked towards Guanyin Bodhisattva, with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, Bodhisattva."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded slightly and said, "Wukong, follow me back to the West."

Sun Wukong nodded and left with Guanyin Bodhisattva.

In the Flower-Fruit Mountain and the Water Curtain Cave, Yan Lili sat upright on a stone chair, looking around and thinking secretly in her heart.

"This place is blessed with beautiful natural conditions. It is indeed a good place for cultivation." She whispered to herself, with a hint of satisfaction in her eyes.

Soon, Lan Wangji, Wei Wuxian and others arrived as invited and stepped into the Water Curtain Cave.

“Madam Lihua, this Flower-Fruit Mountain is indeed worthy of its reputation.” Wei Wuxian looked around and exclaimed in admiration.

Yan Lili stood up to greet them and said with a smile: "Lili is honored that you two Taoist friends can come. This place is quiet and suitable for cultivation."

Lan Wangji nodded slightly: "Madam, I will remember your kindness in my heart."

Yan Lili led the two to the stone table, which was filled with fairy fruits and nectar. The three of them sat around it, chatting and laughing.

"Madam Lihua, how is Shangguo doing these days?" Wei Wuxian asked, with a hint of concern in his tone.

Yan Lili nodded: "Under the governance of the Holy Emperor, the Shang Kingdom is peaceful and prosperous, and everything is fine."

Lan Wangji sighed softly: "Emperor Ruyi is wise, and the people of Shang are blessed."

Wei WuXian smiled and said, “Madam Lihua, now that you own the Flower-Fruit Mountain, what are your plans?”

Yan Lili's eyes were firm: "I want to build a cave here and establish a sect."

Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
