Sha Chen would never let someone waltz right in. He didn’t even know the purpose of the Queen of the West and her entourage’s visit, nor did he need Fairy Ziyi’s clothes. Even if he could win her favor, it would be of no use. Women flocked to him at a mere gesture. The most beautiful woman in the world was already by his side, yet he didn’t care. Women are like clothing, let alone a woman’s actual clothes.

Therefore, facing Fairy Ziyi’s request, Sha Chen remained silent for a moment before saying, "Do you have an invitation? If you have an invitation, you are my guests and will naturally be welcomed with open arms. If not, you are uninvited, and I dare not let you in."

Fairy Ziyi was startled and frowned slightly. "Although we have no formal invitation, we bring a visiting card. I ask you, God, to please look at it." She took out a visiting card and presented it.

But Sha Chen did not take it. Fairy Ziyi didn’t even know where Sha Chen was at that moment. She just held the card there. After a long while, she placed the visiting card in front of Sha Chen’s main gate and retreated to the ranks of the other fairies. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Princess Longji stepped forward. "God, why won’t you accept the visiting card? Could it be that you hold Kunlun Mountain in such low regard?"

The door of the cave dwelling remained closed, but outsiders could perfectly see Sha Chen and Siti within a three-zhang radius. Beyond that, everything else was blurred. Some female immortals even thought Sha Chen had opened the cave dwelling’s door and were about to go inside, but those beside them stopped them.

Sha Chen was seated in a pavilion. On the table before him, a stove warmed wine, accompanied by a few small dishes. Siti stood by his side, gently massaging his shoulders. If he finished his wine, she would proactively refill his cup. At this moment, Siti was completely obedient to Sha Chen, truly behaving as if she were his maidservant.

And Sha Chen, sitting there, raised his cup and said indifferently, "You should all return. My place is humble and cannot accommodate so many of you."

Princess Longji said, "We have come with sincere intentions, hoping to discuss some matters with you. We hope you can grant us this courtesy."

Sha Chen replied, "From the looks of it, you haven’t brought those three sisters back. Or are you planning to use them to threaten me?"

Princess Longji remained silent.

Sha Chen continued, "Then you should know, by coming here, your lives are in my hands. Do you still dare to disregard me so lightly?"

The assembled immortals bristled with anger. The Seven Fairies were furious, and the other female immortals exchanged uneasy glances, their displeasure clear. Fairy Chang E, however, was anxious and extremely worried.

Princess Longji, also annoyed, retorted, "God Sha Chen, although your Mana is boundless and your Divine Powers extensive, to say you control our lives and deaths is far too arrogant."

As soon as she finished speaking, she sensed something amiss in the atmosphere. The surrounding female immortals, though united in their indignation, suddenly felt an overwhelming pressure. Flowing Sand River, which they had parted, instantly enveloped them, though it still didn’t wet their clothes. However, they could feel that the river’s waters were like the immensity of heaven and earth, capable of burying them within. At the same time, it felt as if countless sharp swords made of water were present within the currents. The slightest misstep, and they would be slain immediately.

Sha Chen was no longer the Great General for Folding the Curtain of old; not just anyone could act recklessly in his presence.

HUM.

Suddenly, the Imperial Chariot erupted in golden light, once again solidifying the surrounding river water. But the chariot itself creaked ominously and then exploded. The immortals, as if facing a formidable enemy, quickly surrounded the Queen of the West, who had been within the Imperial Chariot, their gazes fixed warily on Sha Chen inside his cave dwelling. They were filled with terror and profound shock.

Looking at the Queen of the West, her feet still did not touch the ground; instead, she stood upon a lotus flower. She waved her hand, and the immortals dispersed, allowing her to face Sha Chen directly.

"God Sha Chen," the Queen of the West began, her voice filled with majesty, yet also ethereal and melodious, the sound lingering as if with an echo. "Who would have thought? Five hundred years ago at the Peach Banquet, I saw you as nothing more than a pawn of the Jade Emperor. Now, you have become the renowned master of Flowing Sand River, your strength truly formidable."

Sha Chen smiled faintly. "I also never imagined that the high and mighty Queen of the West would ever take notice of a mere pawn like myself, and that now, you would personally descend to Flowing Sand River just to see me!"

The Queen of the West said, "I have no past grievances with you. Why do you seem so resistant towards me? Have I, perhaps, done something to offend you?"

Sha Chen replied calmly, "Indeed, we have no old grudges nor recent enmities. However, to say we have no issues between us, well, perhaps those in high positions are prone to forgetfulness." His gaze suddenly turned icy. "I heard you captured my three phoenix daughters, and you still haven’t brought them back. Tell me, how should we settle this account?"

Sha Chen’s eyes were frigid. The temperature in the surroundings plummeted, the atmosphere instantly turning cold, and the pressure intensified immensely. The female immortals all wore grave expressions, as if facing a dire threat.

Fairy Chang E, somewhat anxious, quickly stepped forward. "Brother... God, Bai Luan and the others mistakenly wandered into Kunlun Mountain back then and also stole many Elixirs and Immortal Herbs from Kunlun. That is why Her Majesty captured them. Later, seeing their cleverness, Her Majesty considered adopting them as her goddaughters."

She continued, "But after Princess Longji informed Her Majesty of your relationship with them, she had already decided to release them. However, they refused to leave. They demanded compensation for their losses, saying they wouldn’t go otherwise."

Princess Longji also stepped forward. "They are the ones clinging to us now; it’s not that we are refusing to let them go. God Sha Chen, you are a reasonable person. Surely you won’t be so unreasonable about this, will you?"

Sha Chen was perplexed. Could those three sisters really pull such a shameless stunt? In his memory, they were well-behaved, always listened to him, and cherished the Elixirs and Immortal Herbs in the celestial fields. How could they be so mischievous? However, with the Queen of the West and the others so adamant, he found himself somewhat believing them. Still, he couldn’t possibly admit it.

He said, "You’re all spouting nonsense. Don’t falsely accuse them. They are very well-behaved."

Fairy Chang E looked embarrassed. "God, it’s true."

Even Chang E admitted it; it seemed the matter was genuine. Sha Chen’s mind raced. Had the Queen of the West and her entourage come seeking retribution? Could the three sisters have actually eaten all of the Queen of the West’s Elixirs of Immortality, provoking her to come in person?

He coughed. "I still don’t believe it, unless you bring them here so we can confront each other face-to-face."

Just then, the Queen of the West opened her hands. Three points of light appeared in her palms. The three phoenix sisters materialized there, but in their phoenix forms, they were utterly unable to fly out of the Queen of the West’s grasp. A world within her palm—the Queen of the West was clearly no simple figure.

Bai Luan, Qing Luan, and Hong Luan were indeed all there. Seeing Sha Chen, they immediately cried out for help.

Qing Luan pleaded, "Father, save us! They’ve trapped us!"

Princess Longji stepped forward and addressed them, "Let me ask you: did you, or did you not, steal and eat the Elixirs and Immortal Herbs from our Kunlun Mountain, cause a great disturbance there, and then refuse to leave?"
