"Disperse for me!"
Suddenly, a loud voice echoed through the sky. The next moment, the terrifying calamity clouds unexpectedly scattered, and the ninth lightning bolt, about to strike Jade Rabbit, vanished from the air.
Jade Rabbit looked at the disappearing calamity clouds in disbelief.
As the calamity clouds dispersed, Jade Rabbit slowly transformed into an elegant young girl.
Chang'e joyfully ran towards the young girl and shouted, "Yuer."
Yuer happily examined herself and embraced Chang'e excitedly.
"That was too close. Fortunately, someone helped me at the critical moment; otherwise, I would have been annihilated by now," Yuer said with a frightened expression.
After releasing Yuer, Chang'e looked around and asked, "I don't know which immortal saved my Yuer. Can you come out and let me express my gratitude in person?"
At this moment, Sun Wukong and Marshal Tianpeng walked out slowly from the shadows.
Marshal Tianpeng, suppressing his inner excitement, remained calm and said, "No need for formalities, Fairy. We just happened to pass by this place and couldn't bear to see Yutu in danger, so we lent a helping hand."
Fairy Chang'e smiled, enchanting and peerless, and said, "So it was Marshal Tianpeng. Thank you for saving Yuer's life."
Normally, Chang'e was indifferent to Marshal Tianpeng, but today she actually smiled at him, making him feel elated, his face showing a silly grin.
At this moment, Yuer also walked over, casting a shy glance at Marshal Tianpeng and expressing her gratitude, "Thank you, Marshal, for saving my life. Yuer is deeply grateful."
Marshal Tianpeng pretended to be generous, smiling and saying, "It was just a small effort. No need to be overly concerned."
As Yuer received a glance from Marshal Tianpeng, she shyly lowered her head, hiding behind Chang'e and occasionally stealing glances at him.
Occasionally locking eyes with him, she looked like a startled cat, charming and lovable. Marshal Tianpeng enjoyed the sight, glancing between Chang'e and Yuer, savoring the delightful view.
"Simpleton, it's time to go."
Suddenly, Sun Wukong transmitted a message to Marshal Tianpeng.
"Monkey, with such a great opportunity to get close to Fairy Chang'e, are we really leaving now?" Marshal Tianpeng was reluctant to leave.
"If you don't leave now, Chang'e will invite you for tea," Sun Wukong said.
"Isn't this a rare opportunity? I've never tasted the tea brewed by Fairy Chang'e," Marshal Tianpeng exclaimed excitedly.
"By drinking this tea, consider it as repaying the favor to Yuer. It's better to leave now, let Chang'e cherish the memory of your lifesaving favor, and keep a special place for you in her heart. Isn't that better?" Sun Wukong suggested.
Marshal Tianpeng agreed, having embraced Sun Wukong's words. "I'll follow your advice then."
Using their telepathic communication skills, the two exchanged many messages in an instant. Their magical abilities surpassed those of Chang'e and Yuer, so they weren't worried about their conversation being heard.
Marshal Tianpeng bowed and said, "Fairy, now that Yuer is safe, we will take our leave."
Without waiting for Chang'e's response, Sun Wukong and Marshal Tianpeng flew directly away from the Moon Palace, leaving Chang'e and Yuer bewildered, wondering why they were in such a hurry to leave.
Inside the Moon Palace, Chang'e looked at Yuer, who had been sitting silently in a daze for a while. Unable to resist, she asked, "Yuer, are you thinking about Marshal Tianpeng?"
Yuer blushed immediately and shyly covered her face, saying, "No, I'm not."
Seeing her expression, Chang'e became more convinced of her own speculation and teased, "How can that be? Your thoughts are already written all over your face."
Yuer quickly lowered her head, burying her face in her arms to feign ignorance like an ostrich.
Seeing this, Chang'e chuckled and said, "Marshal Tianpeng is not a bad son-in-law. Not only in appearance but also in magical abilities, he is top-notch in the heavenly court. If you really follow him, it might be a good outcome. Just need to investigate his inner qualities a bit."
Yuer shook Chang'e's arm, acting cute, and said, "Miss, you're teasing me."
Chang'e gently stroked Yuer's head and said, "I'm just thinking about your lifelong happiness. In a few days, I'll find a reason to invite Marshal Tianpeng to the Moon Palace, creating an opportunity for you two to talk."
Yuer blushed and nodded shyly. Since the day she was saved from the thunder calamity by Marshal Tianpeng, his figure had imprinted on her heart.
After Marshal Tianpeng left, he couldn't help but worry and asked, "Monkey, are you sure Fairy Chang'e will invite me to the Guanghan Palace?"
Sun Wukong slapped his forehead in exasperation, saying, "You've asked me eight hundred times already. Isn't it annoying?"
Marshal Tianpeng awkwardly laughed and said, "I just can't help but worry."
Sun Wukong said, "Just swallow your worries. Without any surprises, you'll receive an invitation from Chang'e in these two days."
With that, he ignored whatever Marshal Tianpeng wanted to say and left.
After two days, Sun Wukong was leisurely strolling with his horse when he saw Marshal Tianpeng flying towards him on a auspicious cloud, his face full of joy. Without guessing, it was clear that something good had happened.
Glancing at the delighted Marshal Tianpeng, Sun Wukong said, "Did you receive an invitation from Chang'e?"
Marshal Tianpeng joyfully nodded and said, "Exactly as Monkey predicted. Fairy Chang'e invited me to Guanghan Palace today to taste osmanthus tea."
Sun Wukong lazily said, "Then go."
Marshal Tianpeng hesitated for a while, looking at Sun Wukong with anticipation, and said, "Monkey, I'm afraid of making mistakes if I go alone. I want you to accompany me."
Sun Wukong looked at him speechlessly and said, "Look at your lack of backbone! Since I have nothing better to do, I'll accompany you to Guanghan Palace."
With that, the two soared into the sky on clouds, heading towards Guanghan Palace.
