Journey to the West: Man in heaven, working nine to five

#1367 - Thank you for feeding me from the God of Hell 1000 miles away

Everyone in the Hall of Celestial Wonders was desperately trying to hold back the Jade Emperor, fearing he might actually run off and join the Law Enforcement Hall.

The Jade Emperor was extremely aggrieved, almost to the point of tears.

"I, in any case, have always been diligent and hardworking, but now I can't even guarantee the welfare of all the immortals. What kind of Jade Emperor am I?"

"I also want to experience the feeling of being raised as a useless person by the Law Enforcement Hall! My beloved subjects, farewell! We shall meet again!"

Everyone held onto the Jade Emperor tightly, anxiously saying:

"Your Majesty, you mustn't!!!"

"We can't compare to the Law Enforcement Hall! Isn't it just that they have more magical treasures than us, more Merit Divine Water than us, better benefits than us, and even a chance to draw a Quasi-Saint Pill at the end of the year? We're not envious at all!"

"Wuwuwuwu… Don't say anymore, I'm about to cry! I'm unworthy."

"Let go! I also want to enjoy a life of having clothes handed to me and food served to my mouth, a carefree and comfortable life!"

Indeed, a penny can stump even a hero.

Just at this moment, a report came from outside:

"Your Majesty, Nezha, the Vice Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, requests an audience."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay.

"What should we do?"

"Of course, we'll see him! He's one of us!"

Only then did everyone sit up straight, returning to their previous majestic and solemn appearance.

Nezha walked in and respectfully greeted the Jade Emperor.

"Your subject, Nezha, Vice Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, greets Your Majesty."

The Jade Emperor adjusted his askew crown and said indifferently:

"What matter do you have to report, esteemed subject? Could it be that the Law Enforcement Hall is short of people? I'm quite willing to go over and help. Why not today…"

As the Jade Emperor spoke, he almost blurted out his true thoughts. Do you, the Law Enforcement Hall, need people?

I don't want to support people anymore; I want to be supported!

The Heavenly Court is known as a mini Law Enforcement Hall, but it really doesn't have the benefits of the Law Enforcement Hall!

"Ahem! Your Majesty, perhaps we should let Great God Nezha finish speaking," Taibai Jinxing interrupted the Jade Emperor's inner thoughts.

The Jade Emperor glared at Taibai Jinxing but could only speak gently to Nezha:

"So, what brings you here, esteemed subject?"

He even used honorifics; the Jade Emperor was already preparing to get used to life in the Law Enforcement Hall.

Nezha only felt that the atmosphere in the Hall of Celestial Wonders was strange, especially since the clothes of everyone present were somewhat disheveled, as if they had just been in a brawl?

Just kidding, this is the Hall of Celestial Wonders, the most authoritative place in the Heavenly Court. How could there be any pushing and shoving here?

Nezha ignored those things and said loudly:

"The Three Realms Law Enforcement Prison God, Hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, my boss Chu Hao, has just seized a large number of magical treasures from the Demon Clan."

"My boss instructed that, as subjects of the Heavenly Court, we must take the construction of the Heavenly Court as our responsibility, so he sent a batch of treasures to Your Majesty."

"Among them: one million units of Merit Divine Water, five hundred thousand magical artifacts, ten thousand Postnatal Spiritual Treasures, one thousand Postnatal Supreme Treasures! Thirty thousand Demon Herbs, one Demon Crystal Cannon! Demon Crystals, etc…"

Nezha took out a long list and read it word by word.

He didn't notice that the more the Jade Emperor listened, the more his eyes moistened. He secretly lowered his head and wiped away tears, almost crying!

My dear subject, my good subject, Prison God, you are truly my benefactor!

To actually send so many good things over, it's more than my Heavenly Court's treasury!

Wuwuwuwu…

One doesn't know the price of firewood and rice until one is in charge. The Jade Emperor has been in charge for so many years, and even bestowing a Postnatal Spiritual Treasure requires a lot of deliberation.

Now, Chu Hao waved his hand and sent over five hundred thousand magical artifacts, ten thousand Postnatal Spiritual Treasures, and five hundred Postnatal Supreme Treasures!

There's even a million units of Merit Divine Water to boot!

Thank you, Prison God, for feeding me!

The Jade Emperor never felt that Chu Hao was overshadowing him; he wasn't such a petty person.

If it weren't for Chu Hao, he would still be a Jade Emperor who was frightened by Sun Wukong and cowering under the table, a puppet manipulated by the Sages.

Although he had repeatedly helped Chu Hao, most of the time it was just a matter of lifting a finger.

But now, Chu Hao returned the favor by sending so many treasures, instantly alleviating the Heavenly Court's financial crisis!

This was the Jade Emperor's top priority!

As the saying goes, a penny can stump a hero. Even the Jade Emperor was short of money.

After all, without the ability to confiscate property at every turn like Chu Hao, the Heavenly Court's only income was from those few refining immortals.

But even if they were given a million years, they probably couldn't refine even one-tenth of what Chu Hao gave!

This wasn't just the Heavenly Court's predicament; it was also the Western Heaven's predicament.

If they hadn't benefited from the Investiture of the Gods War, they certainly wouldn't have had such abundant resources.

And the Heavenly Court should be the poorest, after all, they didn't even get any benefits from the Investiture of the Gods, it was simply too miserable.

But now, Chu Hao waved his hand and solved the Heavenly Court's financial crisis for the next hundreds of thousands or even millions of years. How could the Jade Emperor not be moved?!

After Nezha finished reading, he looked up and realized that the Jade Emperor was crying.

Nezha was frightened. "Your Majesty, has something happened?"

The Jade Emperor quickly wiped his eyes, cheered himself up, and said strongly:

"It's nothing, just sand in my eyes."

Taibai Jinxing rolled his eyes. Your Majesty, you are the strongest in the Three Realms; isn't that excuse a bit perfunctory?

The Jade Emperor took a deep breath, a thousand words, but only said a few:

"Prison God, your kindness is etched in my heart!"

"Speaking of which, does your Law Enforcement Hall have any vacancies…"

"Ahem, ahem!!!" Taibai Jinxing coughed heavily. "Your Majesty!"

The Jade Emperor glared fiercely at Taibai Jinxing but didn't continue speaking.

Nezha was young and didn't know what was going on.

After all, for Nezha, his horizons had long been broadened.

Isn't it just five hundred thousand magical artifacts, ten thousand Postnatal Spiritual Treasures, and five hundred Postnatal Supreme Treasures?

What's that?

This is just one-third of the remaining treasures that the Law Enforcement Hall plans to use to equip this batch of new recruits.

Chu Hao said it was taking up space in the warehouse and there would definitely be better things in the future, so he sent it to the Jade Emperor.

Why do they look so happy?

Nezha didn't know; Nezha just left respectfully.

The Law Enforcement Hall has never had the idea of dominating the Heavenly Court. The Heavenly Court will always be the superior of the Law Enforcement Hall, so Nezha was also very respectful to the Jade Emperor.

After Nezha left, the Jade Emperor suddenly jumped up.

He was extremely fast, grabbed the list in his arms, and was as happy as a child.

"Wuwuwuwu! Prison God, Prison God, my good Prison God, thank you, Prison God, for feeding me from afar! I am willing to be supported by you!"

Taibai Jinxing had black lines all over his face and twitched his lips.

"Your Majesty, pay attention to your image. You are the Supreme of the Three Realms."
