Chapter 167: Confession Under the Moon, Disaster About to Begin

During the rest of the banquet, Tianpeng didn't hear a single word.

His mind was full of Chang'e's smile just now and that light "good" word.

He felt as if he were floating, and even the wine he drank had a sweet taste.

He didn't know that at a seat not far from him, Pagoda-Bearing Li Tianwang Li Jing was watching him.

When Li Jing saw the "flirting" between Tianpeng and Chang'e, a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Tianpeng, oh Tianpeng, you command the Tianhe Water Army and oppose me everywhere. I was worried I couldn't find your handle, but I didn't expect you to deliver it to my door yourself today."

He picked up his wine cup and gave a wink to a confidant beside him.

The confidant understood and quietly exited Yaochi.

The grand banquet of Yaochi finally came to an end late at night.

After the Jade Emperor and Tathagata Buddha left, the immortals and gods dispersed in twos and threes, riding auspicious clouds.

Marshal Tianpeng was almost the first to stand up; he had long been unable to hold back and was just waiting for this moment.

He walked quickly to the entrance of Yaochi, standing there like a door god, straight as a ramrod, his gaze constantly searching among the departing crowd.

Finally, the figure he had been dreaming of appeared in his line of sight.

Chang'e, accompanied by several immortal maidens, was walking out slowly.

"Fairy!"

Tianpeng hurriedly greeted her, his face filled with irrepressible joy.

Chang'e saw him, her footsteps paused slightly, and her cheeks began to burn again.

She said softly to the immortal maidens beside her: "You go back first, I... I will say a few words to the Marshal."

"Yes, Fairy."

The immortal maidens saluted tactfully and left first.

For a time, at the entrance of Yaochi, only Tianpeng and Chang'e were left.

The atmosphere suddenly became a bit subtle.

"That... Fairy, I will send you."

Tianpeng scratched his head, feeling his tongue starting to tie itself in knots again.

"Hmm." Chang'e lowered her head and responded lightly.

The two walked side by side toward the direction of the Taiyin Star.

Along the way, the two stole glances at each other.

Tianpeng wanted to speak several times, but the words reached his lips and he swallowed them back.

He just wanted this road to be longer, longer.

Soon, the cold and lonely Taiyin Star was already in sight.

Tianpeng knew that if he didn't speak now, he wouldn't have another chance.

His heart hardened, he made up his mind, and stopped abruptly.

Chang'e also stopped, looking at him with some confusion.

Tianpeng took a deep breath, and his heroic face flushed red.

He looked at Chang'e, his eyes full of seriousness and heat.

"Fairy!"

"I like you!"

Tianpeng's voice sounded exceptionally loud in the silent starry sky.

Chang'e was stunned when she heard Marshal Tianpeng's words.

Although she had vaguely guessed Tianpeng's intentions, when this sentence was spoken so bluntly from Marshal Tianpeng's mouth, she was still caught off guard.

Her mind was blank.

She could only stare blankly at the man in front of her.

Tianpeng saw that she didn't react, felt anxious, stepped forward, and actually grabbed Chang'e's soft little hand.

"Fairy, I, Tianpeng, am just a rough person and don't know how to say flowery words. But every word I say is true!"

"From the first moment I saw you, my heart could no longer hold anyone else!"

"Every day I think of you. Your every smile and frown is engraved in my mind. Seeing your smile makes me happier than anyone else. Seeing you frown makes my mood sink as well."

"I used to think about giving you the best things to make you happy. But later I realized that you lack nothing. What you lack is someone who can stay by your side, talk to you, and make you laugh!"

"Fairy, are you willing to give me a chance? Let me accompany you and protect you for a lifetime!"

Tianpeng poured out all the words in the bottom of his heart in one breath.

His eyes looked seriously at Chang'e, full of nervousness, expectation, and a fear of being rejected.

Chang'e was held by him, feeling the temperature and strength from his palm, listening to his clumsy love words, and her heart was completely chaotic.

She looked up at Tianpeng's flushed face and the deep affection that was about to overflow from his eyes.

Chang'e bit her lip, her heart struggling between heaven and man.

Reason told her that the heavenly rules were strict, and for immortals to have feelings was a great taboo.

But emotion made her unable to refuse the scorching sincerity of the man in front of her.

Chang'e slowly closed her eyes and then opened them again.

When she looked at Tianpeng again, there was a trace of shyness in her cold eyes.

She didn't speak, just gently held Tianpeng's hand back and nodded shyly at him.

Tianpeng saw Chang'e's reaction, and his heart in his chest couldn't stop beating wildly.

Did Fairy Chang'e agree?

An indescribable ecstasy instantly flooded Tianpeng's mind.

"Hahaha!"

Tianpeng could no longer control himself, the corners of his mouth raised, and he let out an excited laugh.

He excitedly hugged the woman he loved by the waist and spun around in the air.

"Tianpeng! You... you put me down quickly!"

Chang'e was startled by his sudden move, both shy and anxious, and hurriedly stopped Tianpeng's action.

But at this time, Marshal Tianpeng had been overwhelmed by happiness.

Holding the woman he loved, he felt he possessed the whole world, and everything else didn't matter.

But at this time, Marshal Tianpeng, who was overwhelmed by happiness, didn't notice.

Behind a cloud not far away, a team of patrolling heavenly soldiers was watching all this.

The heavenly general at the head, looking at Tianpeng who was laughing wildly and forgetting himself in the air, showed a sinister smile at the corner of his mouth.

He was the confidant who had left the banquet early after receiving a hint from Pagoda-Bearing Li Tianwang Li Jing.

He knew well that his master had always regarded Tianpeng as a thorn in his side because of the command of the Tianhe Water Army.

"Tianpeng, oh Tianpeng, you are really courting death yourself." The general sneered in his heart, "Moving mortal feelings privately and publicly expressing love to Fairy Chang'e is a great crime against heavenly rules!"

"The master has been looking for your flaws, but I didn't expect you to deliver it to the door yourself; it really is a case of 'finding it without effort after breaking iron shoes'!"

He shouted in a low voice to the heavenly soldiers behind him: "Did you all see clearly? Write it down, let's go!"

Having said this, he disappeared into the night with his heavenly soldiers.

He wanted to report this great good news to the Pagoda-Bearing Li Tianwang immediately.

Heavenly Court, Pagoda-Bearing Li Tianwang's Mansion.

The heavenly general who witnessed Tianpeng expressing love to Fairy Chang'e hurried over and reported in detail what he had seen to Pagoda-Bearing Li Tianwang Li Jing.

"Zhang Xian, are you sure you didn't see wrong? Did Tianpeng really express love to Chang'e, and Chang'e agreed?" Li Jing asked with a look of joy upon hearing this.

"Yes, Master. The subordinate and a group of heavenly soldiers saw it with their own eyes; it cannot be wrong!" The heavenly general named Zhang Xian nodded affirmatively.

"Very good, I know. Don't spread this matter for now; wait for my arrangement, you go down first." Li Jing instructed.

"The subordinate understands." ===== CHAPTER 168 =====
