Chapter 2.15, 2017: Undying for a Thousand Years, Shining for Ten Thousand Years

Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain.

Madam Hu, the Nine-Tailed Fox Mother, along with the Chen sisters, the three Hu sisters (mother and daughters), the three Bai sisters, and the five Weng sisters, arrived with rare treasures, hoping to request Princess Jade Face's assistance. However, Princess Jade Face harbored doubts and delayed taking any action.

Not long ago, when his natal sign, Scorpio (Ω), lit up a cluster of stars, a flood of memories instantly filled Wu Chen's mind. At that time, the housekeeper, Ai Yi, suggested finding a suitable cave for the so-called "Number One Female Demon in the World," a cyber fox spirit, as a place to stay after returning to the 0326 Star Cube base. Thus, the Jade-Faced Princess from Shaw Brothers' "Princess Iron Fan" naturally became Wu Chen's first choice. Moreover, Shen Yi, the Shaw Brothers actress who played the Jade-Faced Princess, was also among the "Twelve Beauties of the South," and there were many similar counterparts within the prison alone. This facilitated the construction of a powerful "quasi-unique ecosystem" within the "Broken Rules."

That's why Team Bo 4 made this trip.

Unfortunately, the campaign got off to a bad start.

Fortunately, Princess Jade Face did not turn them away. She warmly invited all the sisters to her cave for a few days of gathering. Before long, the gathering had been delayed for quite some time.

The guest room of Moyun Cave.

After repeated attempts to persuade her failed, Madam Hu, the Nine-Tailed Fox Mother, was discussing countermeasures with her sisters.

"Eldest sister, how about..." Bai Susu, the eldest of the three Bai sisters, stood with her palm in front of her, as if about to chop down.

"No!" Weng Changting, the eldest of the five Weng sisters, immediately spoke up to stop them: "Moyun Cave is extremely wealthy, and the Fox King has many friends. He has made many friends throughout the Three Realms, and there are many experts in the cave. Do not act rashly."

As previously known, the Jade-Faced Fox was the daughter of the Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Fox King of Moyun Cave on Mount Jilei. After the Fox King's death, she inherited a vast fortune, but no one was there to manage it. Later, admiring the Bull Demon King's great supernatural powers, she was willing to offer her entire fortune to him as her husband, thus securing the protection of the cave's vast wealth.

"Mother should know that Princess Jade Face has been looking worried these past few days, as if she is troubled by something." Hu Xueji, the eldest daughter of the Hu family, was intelligent and discerning, and revealed the reason.

"I also sense something." Madam Hu, the Nine-Tailed Fox Mother, looked around at everyone: "However, despite repeated attempts to subtly probe, Princess Jade Face avoids the issue and refuses to open up. What can be done?"

"Why not use the strategy of 'throwing a brick to attract jade'?" Just then, Wu Chen suddenly sent a message from afar.

"My lord?" The sisters were overjoyed.

The storyline in the Painted Wall Realm has just concluded. Connecting the dots, Wu Chen had some insights: "Previously, Princess Jade Face took Bull Demon King as her husband, and now Bull Demon King's corpse has been turned into a guiding lantern. I suppose Princess Jade Face's worries must be related to this. You all came uninvited, and although you all come from the same fox spirit family, you all possess millions in wealth. How can Jade Face Fox easily open her heart to you?"

"What you say makes sense, my lord." Madam Hu, the nine-tailed fox mother, hurriedly asked, "What should we do now?"

"Just do it this way..." Wu Chen secretly instructed.

"Yes, madam Hu, the nine-tailed fox mother, was overjoyed."

Without further ado, they requested another audience with Princess Jade Face.

After the guests and hosts took their seats, before Princess Jade Face could politely decline, Madam Hu, the Nine-Tailed Fox Mother, took something out of her sleeve.

With a flick of the wrist, a fragrant and ethereal lotus flower appeared before Princess Jade Face.

The precious lotus shimmered with light, captivating all who beheld it. Previously, when the fox demon patriarch Su Daji publicly displayed this treasure, it had caused every fox demon in the hall to drool with lust, their ugly expressions revealed. Now, the tables had turned, and even the wealthy Jade-Faced Princess couldn't help but change color.

"What is this?"

"This is..." Emulating the tone of the Nine-Tailed Demon Queen Su Daji, Madam Hu, the Nine-Tailed Fox Mother, said, "This was born from the spiritual energy of the Three Realms at the beginning of creation. Its traces have long been seen in this turbid world. Ordinary people are not fortunate enough to possess it. However, it can help the princess shed her original form and refine her true body; her power will increase rapidly. If the princess is willing to lend us a hand, we will first present her with a precious lotus." The Jade-Faced Princess took a light sniff and immediately knew it was extraordinary: "With such abundant spiritual energy, it must be a supreme treasure of heaven and earth."

"May I ask, Princess, what are your thoughts?" Madam Hu, the Nine-Tailed Fox Mother, pressed her advantage.

“This…” Princess Jade Face’s beautiful eyes flickered. With the treasure of heaven and earth right in front of her, she could not dodge left or right: “Since you are so honest with me, how could I not offer my heart and soul?”

As expected, "Shoot the arrow at the deer, release the hawk at the rabbit." With the Seven Treasures Lotus as collateral, Princess Jade Face finally revealed the truth: "Does Madam know the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints?"

"Could it be the master of the Jade Pool in the Chaotic Rock Mountain?" How could Madam Hu, the Nine-Tailed Fox Mother, not know?

The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints was originally a dragon spirit who ruled over the Jade Wave Pool. He was a friend of the Bull Demon King. Because his son-in-law, the Nine-Headed Insect, stole Buddhist treasures from the Kingdom of Jisa, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie caused a great disturbance at the Jade Wave Pool. The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints was also killed by Sun Wukong with a single blow.

“Indeed.” Princess Jade Face sighed, “My husband had a long-standing friendship with the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints, inviting him every three days and hosting banquets every five. But alas, this good fortune didn’t last. Because of a sacrifice to the Buddha’s treasure in Saiguo, his entire family at Bibo Pool was slaughtered. The Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints died, but I had a sworn brotherhood with that Princess of Ten Thousand Saints. We swore an oath to the heavens to live and die together…”

Princess Wansheng was the daughter of the Wansheng Dragon King of Bibo Pool in Luanshi Mountain and the wife of the Nine-Headed Insect. Legend in the demon realm said she possessed "a face as beautiful as a flower and a talent exceeding twenty points." She later married the Nine-Headed Insect, becoming his consort. The Nine-Headed Insect possessed great supernatural powers. He first conspired with the Wansheng Dragon King to steal the relics from the pagoda of Jinguang Temple in Jisaiguo, and then sent the princess to steal the Nine-Leaf Lingzhi Herb from the Queen Mother of the West in front of the Lingxiao Palace in the Great Luo Heaven, nurturing the treasure at the bottom of the pool: "shining with golden light and radiant with brilliance, bright day and night." The King of Jisaiguo mistakenly believed the monks had stolen the relics and imprisoned them, punishing them with hard labor. Later, when Tang Sanzang and his disciples passed through Jisaiguo on their journey to the West, to retrieve the Buddhist relics and clear the monks' names, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie wreaked havoc at Bibo Pool, killing the Wansheng Dragon King. However, the Nine-Headed Insect's extraordinary strength made him difficult to defeat. Wukong asked Erlang Shen and the six brothers of Meishan for help, and together they attacked the Nine-Headed Insect. The Nine-Headed Insect had one head bitten off by the Howling Celestial Dog and fled to the North Sea, disappearing without a trace. Sun Wukong transformed into the Nine-Headed Insect and tricked Princess Wansheng into giving him the Buddhist relic and the Nine-Leaf Lingzhi Grass. The princess realized she had been tricked and tried to seize them, but was killed by Pigsy with a rake.

They say, "If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be damned by heaven and earth." Even a mere mortal thinks this way, let alone the Jade-Faced Princess with her millions in assets. Though she said, "Better to die for my friend than for myself," she had sworn a deadly oath. "You cannot die so that I may live."

Thinking of this, how could Lady Hu, the Nine-Tailed Fox Mother, not realize: "What the princess worries about is sharing life and death."

“Indeed.” With that, Princess Jade Face stood up and invited, “Madam, please come with me.”

“How dare I disobey?” said Madam Hu, the Nine-Tailed Fox Mother, following closely behind.

The two wandered through the cave for a long time until Princess Jade opened a hidden cave with a chilling atmosphere.

"This is..." Suddenly, a foul stench hit my face, making me want to vomit.

A blood-soaked, mottled dragon corpse lay sprawled on the ice bed.

“Princess Wansheng.” Princess Yumian covered her face with her sleeve: “After being killed by that pig demon with a rake, I took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Bibo Pool to collect her body.”

Madam Hu, the nine-tailed fox mother, examined it carefully and then pointed to the tattered straw mat, asking, "What's under you?"

"Madam is astute; it is indeed the Nine-Leaf Lingzhi Herb."

It is said that when Wukong chased after the Jade Wave Pool, the Wansheng Dragon Granny said, "My daughter, the Wansheng Palace Mistress, secretly entered the Lingxiao Palace in the Great Luo Heaven and stole the Queen Mother's Nine-Leaf Lingzhi Grass. The relic was nourished by the immortal energy of this grass, and it has remained intact for a thousand years and shines for ten thousand years."

The Dragon Queen of Bibo Lake was originally the Dragon Queen of Bibo Lake and the wife of the Dragon King of Bibo Lake. The Dragon King of Bibo Lake and his nine-headed consort stole the Buddha's precious relics, bringing about the destruction of the entire dragon clan. The dragons of Bibo Lake were almost wiped out by Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Erlang Shen. The Dragon Queen pleaded for her life by claiming ignorance, and was thus spared. She was then taken to the Kingdom of Jisa, where her collarbones were pierced, and she was chained to the central pillar of a pagoda to guard it, never to escape.

Since the relics are nourished by the immortal energy of the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum, they can "remain intact for a thousand years and shine for ten thousand years".

It's not hard to see that Princess Wansheng's body, laid upon it, could remain "uncorrupted for a thousand years."

Now the spin-off storyline is finally clear.
