Chapter 398: Who on Earth, upon opening their mouth, demands a Dragon-Coiling Staff?

Tang An input all the things she wanted into the Jade Slip using magic, then sent it before the Jade Emperor.

"Everything I want is in there, you're welcome."

You're welcome? Who was being polite with her?

It was clearly her who was being impolite!

Fine, what she said was indeed impolite.

"My beloved subject..."

"Shh—" Tang An really disliked this form of address, "You can either call me Little Tang or call me Tang An. Don't keep calling me 'beloved subject' at every turn; I only hold a nominal title, I'm not working for you."

"Besides, I am, after all, a..." Tang An paused here, then "whoosh" stood up from the Grand Master Chair.

"Old geezer! You conferred the title of Princess on me? You're taking advantage of me!"

Damn it! She had only just realized this!

A Princess of the Heavenly Court, wouldn't that make her the same generation as the Jade Emperor's daughters!

"You, you, you, what are you doing?" The Jade Emperor hurriedly backed away, terrified that Tang An would come up and start a fight with him.

The key was, never mind whether the Jade Emperor could beat Tang An, even if he could, he wouldn't dare to make a move.

After all, if she were injured, those few behind her...

"Don't be impulsive! The position of Princess, it isn't reckoned from me, hey, hey, hey..."

Tang An grabbed the Jade Emperor's beard, "Then how is it reckoned?"

"Heavenly secrets must not be leaked!"

"Cannot be leaked? Then should I give you some laxatives?"

Recalling the time he drank the Holy Water and suffered from diarrhea, the Jade Emperor instantly turned red with heat, his head throbbing.

The Queen Mother was stunned; having been the Queen Mother for so many years, when had she ever seen an immortal be so presumptuous?

"You dare, you..."

Fine, she had seen it a few times, all behind Tang An's back.

"Hmm?" Tang An glanced at the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother hurriedly covered her mouth.

Because the Queen Mother could sense that if Tang An were to make a move against her, she would be just as impolite.

The Jade Emperor was in pain from Tang An pulling his beard, "You child, you are so clever, how can you not figure this out yourself?"

Only then did Tang An release the Jade Emperor's hand and return below to think.

"Don't just stand there, get the things ready for me. I'll leave once I have them; I'm in a hurry." Tang An didn't forget to snap back to reality and urge him.

The Jade Emperor had no choice but to quickly have Taibai Jinxing go prepare them.

If he didn't give them to her, Tang An might really be able to overturn his Heavenly Court today.

After all, in the past, Tang An relied on the abilities of Sun Wukong and the other two to throw her weight around, acting like a fox borrowing a tiger's might. But now, even if the entire Heavenly Court's military forces were combined, they would struggle to beat her.

Sigh... how did she become so strong.

While Taibai Jinxing went to fetch the items, and while Tang An was deep in thought, the Jade Emperor still felt he had to say something to avoid the awkwardness.

"Yang Jian."

"Hmm?"

"And that decree of yours, is that how My decree was written? Aren't you faking an imperial..."

Tang An looked at the Jade Emperor, glaring the rest of his words back into his throat.

"Never mind how my disciple delivered it, just tell me, did the decree arrive or not?"

"He is the type who only listens to orders but not summons; he did you a favor by running the errand, so just be content."

"Who do you think you owe the credit to for being able to get him to deliver the decree? It's thanks to a Heavenly God!"

"If it weren't for delivering a decree for me, do you think my disciple would have gone?"

The Jade Emperor couldn't understand some of what Tang An was saying, but... he had to admit, what she said did indeed make some sense. Although, he mostly didn't want to admit it.

Silence fell within the Lingxiao Palace.

Of course, this was assuming one ignored the laughter of Wukong and the others.

It wasn't until Taibai Jinxing returned with the items according to the decree that the stalemate was broken.

Tang An counted all the items and then stored them into her Wealth Gathering Ring.

"Before I leave, I still have to give you a reminder."

"Although I hold a nominal title, you must still provide the salary that is due."

"Of course, I don't mind if you give a bit more; no need to be polite."

After saying this, Tang An stood up and took back her Grand Master Chair.

Honestly, after sitting in it for so long, it really doesn't feel right to rob and show off without it.

Outside the Lingxiao Palace.

Once Tang An left, Sun Wukong and the other two, including Zhao Gongming and the others, all came out as well.

"Sister An, where are you going next?"

Tang An did not answer, but instead asked: "Where is Jiuyue?"

"That child Jiuyue, ever since she was conferred a position by the Jade Emperor, she has followed Qiongxiao and Bixiao to Three Immortals Island for secluded cultivation. She said she must practice diligently so that she won't become a burden to you when you need her in the future."

Tang An smiled gently; she was indeed the auspicious omen she had raised.

Presumably, even if she hadn't said anything, Jiuyue had already guessed some of the bad situation regarding Nuwa.

After all, that day, when Bodhi Patriarch was about to cast a spell to set up an array, she had been forcibly controlled by Nuwa. She had the Dharma Power left behind by Daji in her body, so naturally, she was all too familiar with Nuwa's aura.

It was just unexpected that she would be so diligent in order to help her.

"I'll leave Jiuyue to your care." Tang An didn't stand on ceremony with them either.

Qiongxiao patted Tang An on the shoulder and said, "Rest assured, that little fox has good comprehension; with the three of us siblings guiding her, her cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds."

"When you see her again, she will definitely give you a surprise."

Tang An only smiled, "Alright, then I look forward to the next surprise."

Originally, Tang An had wanted to take Jiuyue back to the modern era with her, but this was also fine. At the very least, her cultivation had improved, so if great chaos were to occur in the future, she should be able to protect herself.

After parting ways with Zhao Gongming and the others, Tang An continued to fly upward.

Sun Wukong asked, "Master, where are we going?"

"To find the Grand Senior Uncle."

"Ah?" Sun Wukong felt slightly guilty, "Taishang Laojun's Immortal Pill... should... not be left with many, right?"

Tang An was amused by his words, "I am going to see if I can learn more information about the Outer Realm Demon Race. After all, Senior Brother Xuandu is the Disciple of the Senior Uncle."

"Then we will go find my Master once more; we can begin the process of resurrecting Long Princess Yaoji."

Yang Jian could not hide his excitement, "Truly?"

"Truly." Tang An gave Yang Jian a reassuring smile.

Nezha did not speak, but silently followed behind Tang An. During this time, no matter what happened or where they went, he would stay by Tang An's side.

Doushuai Palace.

Taishang Laojun and Tongtian Jiaozhu were playing chess there.

"Junior Brother, you didn't come here today just to play chess with me, did you?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu cleared his throat, "Naturally, I did."

"You did?" Taishang Laojun could see his awkwardness, "Aren't you just waiting here for my little grand-niece to come over?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu had his thoughts exposed by Taishang Laojun; when a person is embarrassed, even their chess game becomes a mess.

Taishang Laojun laughed heartily, "If you want to know whether she holds a grudge against you, just summon her and ask; why be like this?"

Tongtian Jiaozhu was just about to speak when he sensed Tang An's aura and immediately concealed his presence.

"Sigh, you are how many years old, yet you are still hiding from your own disciple."

Taishang Laojun flicked his Whisk, cleared away the chessboard, and waited for Tang An to appear.

Tang An had brought the three of them with her; she didn't appear until she was ready. Once she appeared and opened her mouth, she nearly caused him to lose his composure.

"Grand Senior Uncle, where is your Coiling Dragon Flat Staff?"

!!!

She didn't just refuse to let the Heavenly Court off; she refused to let any Saint off!
