I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Just wait, I'm going to give you a thorough and careful examination!" Jade Rabbit Fairy said coquettishly, and with light lotus steps, she arrived in front of Li Chen in the blink of an eye. She stretched out her slender jade hand, gently placed it on Li Chen's wrist, and began to feel his pulse.

The pulse was like the gurgling of water or the breeze blowing through the willows. Fairy Jade Rabbit was fully focused, not daring to slack off in the slightest, just to accurately judge whether Li Chen had suffered backlash injuries from her sudden withdrawal of strength.

At the same time, the Fairy Rabbit's beautiful eyes were fixed on Li Chen's face, not missing the slightest change. She wanted to see if Li Chen's face would show any signs of discomfort caused by the forced use of force, such as pale complexion, furrowed brows, or purple lips.

Not only that, the Jade Rabbit Fairy also slightly moved her small and delicate nostrils, using her extraordinary sensitive sense of smell to sense the smell emanating from Li Chen.

If Li Chen's blood and qi were really surging because of forcibly restraining his strength, then a faint smell of blood should be emanating from his mouth.

"Are you really alright?" Fairy Jade Rabbit asked, her eyes wide open, looking at Li Chen with suspicion. She had just used nearly every criterion of Dragon Nation's ancient medical method, but surprisingly, she hadn't detected even the slightest sign of injury from Li Chen's forced withdrawal.

"I've already said it, I now have absolute control over my own power!"

Li Chen shook his head helplessly and then said, hearing Li Chen's words, the women all cast envious glances at him. After all, absolute control over one's own power is very rare. After all, being able to achieve complete control over one's own power is very rare and requires a strong mind, body, and magic power.

Just as Li Chen was showing off to the girls, Prince Mo'ang came with a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to report the situation on the front line to Li Chen and his group and the Dragon King of the East China Sea.

"Sir! Uncle! And all the ladies! After a fierce battle, the shrimp soldiers and crab generals led by the Four Sea Dragon Kings have successfully annihilated all those abominable monkey demons in Flower-Fruit Mountain! Now, our army has successfully entered the Water Curtain Cave!"

At this point, Prince Moang and his army of generals all showed a sense of joy on their faces. After all, after enduring so much pain, they finally eliminated these monkey demons that were causing harm to the area.

"However, what is unexpected is that there are still some monkeys imprisoned in this Water Curtain Cave. These monkeys seem unwilling to submit to the Six-Eared Macaque, which is why they are imprisoned here. I wonder what we should do with these imprisoned monkeys?"

Prince Mo'ang knelt on one knee, his hands clasped in a fist, and respectfully reported the battle situation on the front lines. At this moment, the monkey demons of Flower-Fruit Mountain had been completely annihilated, and the soldiers and generals were clearing and finishing up the battlefield. As for the imprisoned monkeys in the Water Curtain Cave, they became a pressing issue.

"Well... well, let's first hear the opinion of Immortal Li Chen before making a decision!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea stroked his beard, turned his gaze to Li Chen, and spoke to Prince Mo Ang in a very humble tone. After witnessing Li Chen's astonishing and powerful fighting ability, the Dragon King of the East Sea knew that this immortal before him was no ordinary person.

At this moment, the situation before him was extremely difficult, causing him considerable distress and anxiety. After careful consideration, he realized that he could not properly handle the current predicament on his own.

So, he thought to himself that he must not act arbitrarily or arbitrarily anymore. Because only by humbly listening to Li Chen's valuable suggestions could he make the most wise and appropriate decision.

Recalling the thrilling battle to encircle and suppress Huaguo Mountain not long ago, if Li Chen had not stepped forward at the critical moment and extended a helping hand in time, I am afraid that the battle would have ended in a disastrous defeat. Thinking of this, he could not help but feel grateful and admiring towards Li Chen.

At this time, Li Chen could only be heard saying slowly: "This? Oh, forget it! God has always been kind to life. Since these monkeys are not our enemies, there is no need to kill them all. Let's just show mercy and leave them a chance to live, so that they can continue to live peacefully in this Flower-Fruit Mountain from now on!"

When saying this, Li Chen smiled. After all, in his opinion, the reason why these monkeys were imprisoned by the Six-Eared Macaque and the White Ape was that they were forced to do so. They were innocent people who were harmed just like the people in the Four Seas Dragon Palace.

"Yes!"

Prince Mo'ang responded loudly, and then passed on Li Chen's order to treat the imprisoned monkeys with kindness.

Then, Li Chen turned to look at everyone and said, "Let's go, let's go to the Water Curtain Cave and take a closer look!" After that, he started walking towards the Water Curtain Cave.

You should know that this Water Curtain Cave is not just any ordinary place, but the real residence of the Monkey King Sun Wukong. It can be said that this place is a natural creation, with unique natural conditions and magical charm.

It is also worth mentioning that this Flower-Fruit Mountain is the ancestral vein of the Three Mountains and the origin of the Five Islands. It is also an excellent place where the spiritual energy between heaven and earth gathers.

"please!"

The Dragon King of the East Sea said respectfully, and then he and Mo'ang led a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals to lead Li Chen to the Water Curtain Cave in Huaguo Mountain.

Before long, they arrived at the mysterious Water Curtain Cave. Looking up, they saw a massive waterfall cascading down like a silver thread, spraying water like smoke and mist, creating a breathtakingly beautiful scene. Beyond the waterfall, a cave could be vaguely seen, its entrance obscured by a curtain of water, resembling a fairyland.

As they entered Water Curtain Cave, the first thing that caught their eye was a stone bridge spanning the stream. Standing in the middle of the bridge, they could clearly see two lines of powerful characters carved into the opposite stone wall: "Flower-Fruit Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave Heaven." These words, written in a flamboyant and majestic style, seemed to contain endless spiritual energy and mystery.

Beside the bridge are planted all sorts of exotic flowers, plants and trees, all in a riot of colour, vying for splendor. Some resemble dancing fairies, some look like dragons poised to take flight, and some resemble unicorns crouching on the ground, their myriad forms a feast for the eyes.

This Water Curtain Cave is a truly heavenly stone house! Inside, you'll find everything you need for daily life, including stone pots, stoves, bowls, basins, beds, and benches. Each item is polished to a smooth, delicate finish, evidently meticulously crafted. This truly is a naturally formed haven, a place that truly captures the essence of nature.

At this time, an old monkey with gray hair quickly walked up to the shrimp soldiers and crab generals, bowed respectfully, and said with gratitude: "Thank you all for saving us from the clutches of that evil monkey. When the Great Sage returns, we will definitely tell him and let him thank you!"

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals waved their hands and laughed, "Old Monkey, but don't thank the wrong person. The one who truly helped you was the Dragon Palace's new distinguished guest—Li Chen, the Immortal. If it weren't for him, we might not have been able to rescue you so smoothly."

Hearing this, the old monkey was stunned for a moment, then he saw Li Chen entering the Water Curtain Cave with the Dragon King of the East China Sea. The moment he saw Li Chen's figure, tears welled up in his eyes, and his excitement gushed out like a flood.

Without giving it any time to think, he immediately ran towards Li Chen as fast as he could, shouting, "Grandpa Great Sage! You're back! Children, come and see! Grandpa Great Sage is back!"

Because he was too excited and anxious, the old monkey didn't even care about his old body. He rolled and crawled all the way, looking miserable. But he didn't care at all. He just wanted to run to Li Chen as soon as possible to express his deep gratitude.
