Chapter 189 - 185: Misfortune Falls on Tao Yao in the Flat Peach Garden
Zhuge Liang had borrowed the Seven Stars Sword to call forth the eastern wind, yet none of the immortals in heaven showed any signs of movement. Coincidentally, Princess Iron Fan passed by and saw that Zhuge Liang had taken out her teacher’s Seven Stars Sword to no avail, which infuriated her. She used her own Banana Leaf Fan to whip up a ferocious gale, which unexpectedly attracted the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Bodhisattva.
Last time at Mount Meru, the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Bodhisattva had given Wukong and his brothers a pretty hard time. They nearly lost their lives at his hands. However, this time he found himself in a pitiable state, being swept back to West Cow He State by the Banana Leaf Fan and then taking a hit from a Golden Sand Pill hurled by Wukong, leaving him severely wounded. What goes around, comes around!
Seeing someone had joined the fray on her behalf, Princess Iron Fan exclaimed, "I don’t know which fellow cultivator lent me aid from the shadows, but I am deeply grateful!"
Wukong descended from the clouds, chuckling, "It was me, it was me! I recognize you, you’re Princess Iron Fan, my elder brother’s wife."
Curious, Princess Iron Fan asked, "And who might you be?"
With a laugh, Wukong replied, "I am a loose cultivator from Yingzhou Island, my dharma name is Wukong, and I’m brothers with the Ox Demon King. That makes you my esteemed sister-in-law!"
Overjoyed, Princess Iron Fan said, "Ah, so you’re family. Uncle, do you happen to know where that foolish ox, my husband, currently resides?"
Wukong grinned, "Bull is still hanging around Flower-Fruit Mountain! Do you plan to seek him out, sister-in-law?"
Speaking of the Ox Demon King set Princess Iron Fan ablaze with rage. She snapped, "I heard that oaf has taken up with another woman. Is it true?"
"Well..." Wukong found himself in an awkward position; such matters were tricky to address, "Sister-in-law, this is not easy for me to discuss, after all, it concerns your family affairs. Whether it’s true or not, you’ll know once you see for yourself."
"Very well, I thank you, uncle," Princess Iron Fan replied.
