Traveling Through Journey to the West: I Am the Dragon King

After hearing this, Yun Chonghua said, "Is that so? I just don't know when we will be able to win His Majesty's heart."

The White Crane Fairy smiled and said, "Sincerity can move mountains. I may not be able to get this reward for you this time, but I might be able to get others."

After thinking it over, Yun Chonghua said, "Since I can't learn any skills, then please ask my sister to reward me with a set of armor."

As he spoke, Yun Chonghua summoned the halberd with its painted shaft. He said, "I got this halberd from the old Dragon King. It doesn't match my feathered robe at all. And during the battle with Huang Mei, this robe was almost burned by the flames he breathed on. I think if I had a protective armor to safeguard this precious robe, I would feel much more at ease."

After some thought, the White Crane Fairy said, "Making a set of armor is not difficult. Alright, now that this matter is settled, you should return to Sishui. I will go to Heaven to request a reward for you. If the reward is granted, I will personally go to the Golden Palace to select a suitable set for you."

After hearing this, Yun Chonghua said, "Then thank you very much, sister."

Subsequently, Yun Chonghua and the White Crane Fairy parted ways again. The White Crane Fairy returned to the Heavenly Palace, while Yun Chonghua used his magical robe to return to Jimo.

After Yun Chonghua returned to Jimo, the little dragon and a group of ghost immortals, including the mountain god, the earth god, and the city god, were all waiting on the small hillside.

The little dragon, who had transformed into human form, paced back and forth with its large belly and hands behind its back, looking very anxious.

The City Gods standing to the side were equally concerned; they were extremely worried about the battle between Yun Chonghua and the demon. If anything were to happen to Yun Chonghua, they would likely blame themselves for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Just as everyone waited anxiously, the City God looked up at the distant sky, pointed, and shouted, "He's back! The immortal has returned!"

Upon seeing this, the little dragon immediately transformed into a dragon and flew up to the clouds to greet Yun Chonghua.

Little Li Dragon asked, "Immortal, how is the situation? Have you subdued that demon?"

Yun Chonghua replied, "Don't worry, that demon has been killed and will never come back to cause trouble again."

After hearing Yun Chonghua's words, the little dragon praised, "The Immortal is truly powerful and versatile!"

Yun Chonghua said, "Alright, enough of this small talk. Let's go down first and find out what's going on here as soon as possible."

Then, Xiao Lilong and Yun Chonghua descended from the clouds and came to the side of the ghost immortals.

"The grievances you have suffered today will be cleaned up by someone in the future. As for the crimes committed by the people of this city who were misled, they will also be wiped clean. The most urgent task at present is to guide Jimo City back to the right path. Are you aware of my plan?" Yun Chonghua asked.

One of the local deities stepped forward, bowed, and said, "The words of the immortal have already been told to us by the City God."

Yun Chonghua nodded and said, "Alright then! Let's proceed according to the original plan."

Without further delay, everyone went about their own business.

Yun Chonghua revealed part of his original form again and immediately jumped into the city to cause trouble. He smashed several stalls and demolished several houses.

To make the performance more realistic, he transformed the little dragon into a chubby child. Then, he swallowed it whole in front of everyone, a scene that truly terrified the people of the city.

When the ghosts and immortals saw that the time was almost up, they immediately stepped forward and, one after another, drove Yun Chonghua away in front of the crowd.

As Yun Chonghua had expected, after the ghosts and immortals joined forces to drive away the "dragon demon" that Yun Chonghua had transformed into, the people were immediately grateful and bowed down in gratitude.

After finishing the play, Yun Chonghua, along with the ghost immortals and Xiao Lilong, returned to the small hillside.

As everyone landed, the ghost immortals glanced at the City God, who then led a group of mountain gods and local deities to kneel and pay homage to Yun Chonghua: "On behalf of all the people of the city, we thank the Immortal for his guidance!"

Seeing this, Yun Chonghua said, "It's nothing, everyone, there's no need for that."

Little Lilong then said, "Immortal, now that this matter is settled, let's return to the East Sea Dragon Palace first, so that we can inform our uncle and put his mind at ease."

Yun Chonghua nodded, and then he and the little dragon turned back to the East Sea.

The City God and his entourage of ghosts watched them leave, remaining there for a long time.

Afterwards, Huian Xingzhe was instructed by the Bodhisattva to come here to do good deeds first, and the rest is not mentioned.

Meanwhile, Yun Chonghua and Xiao Lilong returned to the Dragon Palace.

Upon returning to the Dragon Palace, Ao Guang praised Yun Chonghua highly. During this time, he also inquired, intentionally or unintentionally, about the true identity of that demon.

However, Yun Chonghua knew that this matter was not honorable, so he made excuses with words.

Hearing Yun Chonghua's evasive words, Ao Guang immediately stopped asking questions.

Yun Chonghua helped Ao Guangchuan get rid of a big problem, so the Dragon Palace naturally had to arrange a banquet to entertain him.

During the event, several dragon maidens even took to the stage to perform dances to add to the festivities.

After a satisfying meal, Yun Chonghua also got up to take his leave.

At this moment, Ao Guang said, "Immortal, please wait. I am deeply grateful for your help this time. Please accept this small gift as a token of my respect."

Then, the Turtle Prime Minister, accompanied by a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, carried up chests of treasures. Most of these treasures were the same ones the Dragon King had given Yun Chonghua as a congratulatory gift last time, only now they were much more abundant.

Upon seeing these treasures, Yun Chonghua first said politely, "The Dragon King has already gifted me a fine weapon for this demon-slaying mission. How could I dare to accept such a generous gift?"

Ao Guang replied, "Ah! What are you saying, Immortal? That halberd has been in the Little Dragon Palace for a thousand years. It is only because it is destined for you that you are taking it. It is simply to prevent the treasure from being buried. This is my humble respect!"

Now, Ao Guang couldn't be stingy with Yun Chonghua at all. Firstly, they had a grudge against each other, and secondly, Yun Chonghua was genuinely willing to help when needed. This was far better than those favors that were easily wasted.

Yun Chonghua glanced at the treasures and then stopped refusing.

He said, "Very well! The Dragon King has given me gifts several times, which shows his sincerity. If I were to refuse, it would seem that I am heartless. In that case, thank you very much!"

After saying this, Yun Chonghua raised the jade bottle and put all the boxes of treasures into his pocket.

Then Yun Chonghua cupped his hands in a respectful bow and said, "Farewell!"

The Dragon King and Little Li Dragon personally escorted Yun Chonghua to the palace gates.

Little Lilong watched Yun Chonghua's departing figure and said, "Uncle, it seems that this immortal is not as narrow-minded as we imagined, and is actually very public-spirited. He is much better than the others in heaven."

Ao Guang stroked his dragon beard and said, "Yes. It's a pity that Fourth Sister is not destined for him. Otherwise, if he were to marry into our Ao family, we would have a real backer."

With the matter in Jimo resolved, Yun Chonghua's life returned to normal. His work remained the same: reviewing documents and, according to the season, bringing light rain to the people. After receiving the Emperor's decree, he would join the Thunder God, Lightning Goddess, Wind Goddess, and other deities in bringing rain.

But ever since the incident in Jimo, he hasn't been so at ease. Every now and then, someone would come to him with a visiting card, requesting to pay him a visit.

From the dragon gods of the four rivers to the various earth immortals and ghost immortals of the surrounding areas, and even the dragon kings of the other three seas, they all sent visiting cards, requesting to befriend them.

However, one cannot blame everyone for being so eager to curry favor with Yun Chonghua.

Besides Yun Chonghua's background as a celestial being, he is also one of the few "immortals" who can truly be summoned to help.

As the saying goes, "It's good to take shelter under a big tree." With such a sage who dares to stand up for his colleagues, they will naturally want to associate with him more.
