Chapter 274 Meeting the Queen Mother
Yang Jian entered Yaochi and presented some local specialties of Jin'ao Island (food and snacks made from the sea monster's inner elixir and flesh), and stated his purpose.

He did not explicitly say that he was here to beg for money, but rather said that he had come specially to visit the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother was right in front of the Yaochi Lake, with several screens on both sides. Figures were swaying behind her, and laughter could be heard from time to time.

Yang Jian felt that someone was staring at him, with a hint of hatred in his eyes.

Yang Jian turned his head to look, but his sight was blocked by the screen and he could not see who was behind him.

He felt puzzled. He had not offended anyone in Heaven, so why would anyone hate him?

"My Yaochi is full of female fairies. They are good at sewing, mending, gardening, and walking birds, but slaying demons and monsters is like walking into a tiger's mouth.

Isn't Zhao Gongming cultivating in Mount Emei in Shu? As the number one person in the outer sect of Jiejiao, it would be a piece of cake for him to help you pacify Shu. Why don't you go find your uncle Zhao Gongming?"

The Queen Mother looked at Yang Jian expressionlessly, her tone calm.

She knew what Yang Jian wanted.

After all, since Yang Jian entered the Yaochi Lake, his eyes have never left the peach tree above him.

Yang Jian was a little dazed, and tried his best to move his eyes away from the peach tree.

He originally did not think of asking Zhao Gongming for help, although Zhao Gongming could be considered his uncle.

He had only heard of Zhao Gongming's name but had never seen him, so when he encountered trouble, he never considered seeking Zhao Gongming's help.

At this time, under the Queen Mother's advice, Yang Jian suddenly understood.

Fortunately, he felt that Haotian was somewhat kind just now, but the result was that he was given the empty title of True Lord.

I think the reason why he didn't give him any soldiers was because he was planning to attack Jiejiao.

Yang Jian had an idea and realized that it was impossible for him to go back empty-handed.

"Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I know that Master Zhao Gongming is in Qingxiu, Mount Emei, but I have never had the opportunity to visit him since I joined Jiejiao. I am afraid it is not appropriate to rashly go to his house to seek his help. It would be impolite."

The implication was that the Queen Mother should bestow a few peaches as a gift.

The Queen Mother also felt that what Yang Jian said made sense. If other Taoists knew that when Miaodao Zhenjun, who was appointed by the Heavenly Court, came to visit their senior, he was so poor that he couldn't even take out a treasure, it would damage the dignity of the Heavenly Court.

Then he called the fairy beside him: "In that case, then you should take the True Lord to the Peach Palace and pick two top-quality peaches for the True Lord to take away. Also bring two pots of three thousand year old nectar."

Yang Jian was delighted and bowed to express his gratitude.

A female fairy came slowly, probably to take him to get the peaches.

Yang Jian found that this female fairy looked familiar, not because he had seen her before, but because her face was somewhat similar to Haotian and Queen Mother.

"Master, don't just stand there, I'll take you up to pick peaches~"

The unknown female fairy urged.

Yang Jian nodded and started to follow.

After he left.

Yao Ji could no longer sit still and appeared from behind the screen.

"Queen Mother, you shouldn't have given Yang Jian peaches. Master Yang Jian is the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, so he must have no shortage of treasures. He came to Yaochi just to take advantage of you, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Of course I know. What's the harm in giving it to him? The Heavenly Court is in need of people right now. If two peaches can bring someone with a strong background like Yang Jian to join the Heavenly Court, I would rather pick all the peaches."

The so-called Peach Palace is not far from the Yaochi Lake, or rather, it is right inside the Yaochi Lake. The Peach Palace is where the huge peach tree is.

After all, the peaches had just been transplanted to the Heavenly Palace and had to be looked after by the Queen Mother in real time, so it was understandable that they had to be closer.

Although it was not far, it was not too close either. Yang Jian followed the unknown female fairy for a long time before he flew closer, and bright red peaches appeared before his eyes.

The rich aroma made Yang Jian's mouth water, and he couldn't wait to rush over and devour it.

Yang Jian was not a monkey, so he suppressed his impulse very well. A bamboo basket appeared in the fairy's hand, and she looked at the peaches from left to right.

"This year is not good, not good~"

"This is not good, no no~"

"This this~that that~"

The fairy looked around and when she saw one, she said no.

Judging from his posture, it seemed like he wanted to take Yang Jian to see all the peaches.

Those peaches that were said to be unacceptable were clearly glowing red, round and plump, and exuding an enticing fragrance.

Yang Jian frowned, thinking that this female fairy was going to make things difficult for him.

He urged, "Fairy, I think the two peaches are very good. I am not picky. I will take those two."

"Your Majesty, this is wrong~"

The fairy turned around and said in a tender voice, "These peaches are the pride of the Heavenly Court, not to mention they are to be given to the great immortal Zhao Gongming, so they must not be treated carelessly."

"But those two peaches clearly have no flaws at all."

"No, no, no. You can't just look at the surface of the peaches. Some of them look good on the surface, but they are actually rotten inside. Ordinary immortals can't see it. When the immortal Zhao Gongming gets a rotten peach and bites it, the rotten juice of the peach will fill his mouth and maggots will fly everywhere. Can you bear the responsibility?"

The fairy argued convincingly.

But Yang Jian could not hide the smile in his eyes.

Yang Jian's face darkened: "Fairy, please don't make fun of Yang Jian."

"Hey, Yang Jian, you're scolding me now. Sisters, come out and take care of him."

The fairy had just finished speaking.

Six beauties came out from all directions of the peach tree and surrounded Yang Jian in the center.

"Is this Yang Jian? He is indeed as handsome as the rumors say."

"I heard that he was newly appointed as a True Lord by my father. The position of a True Lord is something that many celestial beings want but cannot obtain."

"Sixth sister is really a good sister. She never forgets us when she has something good."

"Slurp~ Sisters, stop drooling and don't make a fool of yourself in front of the Master."

The seven female fairies surrounded Yang Jian and talked at the same time.

Some brave ones even wanted to take action, but were quickly avoided by Yang Jian.

Yang Jian felt a little panicked at first, but after hearing what these female fairies were saying, he began to guess their identities.

He looked at the fairy who had led the way and asked, "Everyone, Yang Jian has important things to do. Don't make fun of Yang Jian. If you make a big mistake, the Emperor of Heaven will punish you~"

At this moment, Yang Jian wished he could learn the art of immobilization so that he could freeze the seven fairies in place so that they could know how powerful he was first.

Otherwise, he would be trapped in the Peach Garden by Monkey King in the future, with no ability to resist.

"Hey, you dare to use the Emperor of Heaven to pressure us sisters, do you know who I am?"

The female fairy who had just brought Yang Jian here stood up and asked.

Yang Jian thought for a moment and said, "I have heard that the Queen Mother gave birth to seven daughters for the Emperor of Heaven. They are responsible for picking mulberry leaves, weaving, colorful things, ascending to immortality, women, fruits, and treasures. Since the Queen Mother sent fairies to pick peaches, you must be the sixth."

In the ancient times, Lao Liu had no ambiguity and it was difficult for him to understand Yang Jian's true meaning.

The fairy holding the bamboo basket nodded in surprise when she heard this: "Your Excellency is very meticulous, indeed. I have no intention of making things difficult for you, but my sisters wanted to see your demeanor, so I resorted to this desperate measure."
