Phoenixes pulling the Dragon Chariot streaked across the sky above Wanling City, while the demons on the ground looked up at the gorgeous radiance.

"I don't seem to be very popular."

The Jade Emperor spoke from atop the Dragon Chariot.

"Your Majesty need not concern yourself."

Gold Star Taibai replied from the side, "Given time, they will grow welcoming."

The Jade Emperor had once led the Immortals in an attack against the Wanling Country; it was a sight for the demons not to block his path, much less to welcome him.

"I'll leave it to you in the future."

The Jade Emperor said with a smile.

Other than the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, he could only bring one person over and he chose the ever-so affable Gold Star Taibai.

Without Gold Star Taibai, the Jade Emperor would have difficulty managing the situation in Wanling Country.

However, Gold Star Taibai didn't feel the slightest bit pleased, "I'm no match for that Mei Hu."

The Jade Emperor had summoned him while Sun Wukong brought along Mei Hu, it was clear who had the greater effect.

"It's alright; my presence here is, after all, a challenging task."

The Jade Emperor sighed and then smiled again, "Compared to me, Imperial Brother won't have an easy time either."

As he spoke these words, Sun Wukong had already arrived at the Eastern Continent, where it was practically swarming with people; all the Immortals were ogling Daji.

Daji was quite surprised, "Great King, do they also seem to recognize me?"

"That's to be expected."

Sun Wukong nodded; this was exactly why he had invited Daji along.

The Spiritual Objects of Wanling Country sold well in the Eastern Continent, including a variety of musical notes and the like.

Daji was well-known here; even if the Immortals hadn't heard her singing, most of them would know of her and come over for a look.

However, to Sun Wukong's surprise, the Queen Mother herself came out to greet him.

Sun Wukong had had his differences with her, but he still thanked her for her welcome.

"I've opened a splendid pavilion by the Turquoise Pool shore and come to invite the Great Saint to a banquet."

The Queen Mother said with a smile.

She had been prejudiced against Sun Wukong, but that was gone long ago.

Ever since the division of heaven, she had ceased to view Sun Wukong with enmity, and she did not oppose his visit this time.

"Miss Daji, please join us as well."

The Queen Mother extended the invitation to Daji too.

They followed the Queen Mother to the Turquoise Pool, where the Four Great Heavenly Masters and other important Immortals had come to attend the banquet.

"The Queen Mother is really something, why is she so enthusiastic towards him?"

Sun Wukong overheard some of the minor fairies whispering complaints.

The lower-ranking Immortals were often the most oblivious of their limitations.

The more influential Immortals dared not act recklessly before Sun Wukong, though.

"These four Heavenly Masters are the personnel left by Your Majesty to be at the Great Saint's command,"

Despite hearing the petty complaints, the Queen Mother proceeded to introduce the Four Heavenly Masters of Tongming Hall to Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong nodded and greeted each one in turn.

He was seated by the Queen Mother in the first place on the right, while Daji was placed at the very end of the right side.

Daji wasn't upset, instead looked curiously at the Flat Peaches on the plate.

"That's a Flat Peach."

A fairy pouring wine beside her couldn't help but say, "You surely haven't eaten one before."

The fairy felt somewhat uncomfortable at the sight of such a pretty demon.

"I've eaten Ginsengfruit."

Daji picked up the Flat Peach curiously, "Is it tastier than the Ginsengfruit?"

The fairy was lost for words.

This little Fox Demon really had some luck to be able to eat Ginsengfruit.

The Deity of the Moon across the table watched this scene with a chuckle.

She had her biases against demons, but having learned about Daji, many female Immortals knew that this demon was different from the common female demons; she was a notably outstanding fairy.

"Great Saint,"

On the other side, the Queen Mother personally poured wine for Sun Wukong, "The variety in my Turquoise Pool banquet can hardly compare to that of Wanling Country."

"It's alright."

Sun Wukong spoke, "Right before I was preoccupied and departed, I summoned a chef over."

"Oh?"

The Queen Mother became curious, "And who might that be?"

As soon as her words fell, sounds of battle could be heard from outside.

"He's here."

Sun Wukong knew the situation without needing to look, saying, "Let him come in."

The Queen Mother immediately ordered the Heavenly Soldiers to allow passage.

The Bull Demon King walked in with a group of demons.

"Great Saint."

He bowed before Sun Wukong.

"It's been a long time, Bull Demon King."

Sun Wukong looked at the Bull Demon King, feeling that he had become much more steady.

But that was no longer important.

"Let's begin."

He said.

"Alright."

The Bull Demon King instructed the demons behind him to set up tables and bring ingredients, and started to make pulled noodles on the spot.

"Pulled noodles."

Queen Mother was surprised: "Is this pulled noodles?"

"Yes."

Sun Wukong nodded: "How does Your Majesty know?"

"I've heard of it."

Queen Mother chuckled, she had heard that the Bull Demon King could make pulled noodles, but seeing it with her own eyes was still marvelous.

The immortals also began to whisper among themselves.

The Bull Demon King's pulled noodles were a unique delicacy, known throughout the Four Great Continents.

The Bull Demon King, on his first visit to Turquoise Pool, was very happy to show off his skills.

Soon enough, bowls of pulled noodles were magically flying to the tables by themselves, courtesy of the Bull Demon King.

The immortals began tasting them.

Everyone praised them highly, without end.

"This is the first time I've ever tasted such delicacy."

Said the Queen Mother.

The Matchmaking God laughed: "Your Majesty, when the Great Saint was an official in the Heavenly Palace, he also loved to host banquets, and the food was also top-notch."

Many immortals nodded in agreement.

"Where will the Great Saint be staying?"

After three rounds of drinks, Queen Mother asked Sun Wukong: "My Immortal Peach Orchard is at your disposal again."

"No need to trouble yourself."

Sun Wukong shook his head: "I already have a place."

"Where?"

"Huaguo Mountain."

Sun Wukong replied.

The immortals were all taken aback.

"Huaguo Mountain is also part of the Eastern Continent, a quick trip away."

Sun Wukong continued.

The immortals thought about it and said no more.

After the banquet, Queen Mother gave Sun Wukong several flat peaches, and separately gave one to both Daji and the Bull Demon King.

The Bull Demon King joyfully accepted them, and left Turquoise Pool together with Sun Wukong.

"This business isn't too bad, right?"

Sun Wukong said to the Bull Demon King.

"Not bad."

The Bull Demon King smiled: "I shall take it home for my children to eat."

Sun Wukong was surprised: "You have children."

"Yes."

The Bull Demon King eagerly bid farewell with clasped hands and left ahead of the others.

Sun Wukong rode on an auspicious cloud, taking Daji and the other demons back to Huaguo Mountain.

"Great King."

On the way, Daji enthusiastically massaged Sun Wukong's shoulders.

"Quickly tell me, what fun thing are we going to do?"

"I'm going to make those immortals acknowledge me as their leader, do you believe that?"

Sun Wukong jokingly said.

Of course, Daji did not believe him.

In a short while, they arrived at Huaguo Mountain.

"I haven't been back here for a long time."

As soon as they got home, Daji joyfully soared up and darted towards the familiar territory of the Fox Demons.

Sun Wukong, on the other hand, led the other demons to land in Yunxiao City.

The four elder monkeys had already heard the news, and were leading a crowd of demons, who were in a sea of banners on Flag Mountain, waiting for his return.

As Sun Wukong arrived, his eyes met the joyful faces of demons that stretched as far as he could not see.

"Great King, welcome back."

The demons greeted in unison.

Sun Wukong was startled, then he laughed.

After the long journey to the west, he had returned to where it all began.
