During the Spring Festival, Fairy Chang'e transformed into a mortal and sat deep in the library reading.

She enjoyed reading, a leftover passion from her past competition with Mei Hu.

Whenever she had the chance, she would sit in the library for half a day.

The library of Wanling City was filled with Heavenly Books, bustling daily with many visitors, yet only one person, like her, would sit deep inside.

"Who exactly is he?"

Fairy Chang'e looked at the human man sitting at the next table.

The man was not outstanding in appearance, but like her, he enjoyed reading, and every time Chang'e came here, she would see him.

The library held the most advanced technology books of the Wanling Hall, which ordinary people couldn't understand, but the man read them with relish.

"I really want to talk to him..."

Fairy Chang'e thought so, but there was a gathering later, and she had to let the Heavenly Book fly back to the shelf and then leave the library.

Moments later, a figure approached the man.

"Great Saint."

Mr. Gu Zhi bowed to the man: "The Grandmaster asked me to remind you, don't forget the banquet later."

"Let me finish this book first."

The man was Sun Wukong in disguise.

After perfecting the Six Palaces system, Sun Wukong had more time in the past two years, mostly spent in the library.

Other than the library staff, no one knew his identity.

When he finished reading and let the book fly back to the shelf, Mr. Gu Zhi could not help but ask.

"Great Saint, why do you study these technologies?"

He couldn't understand why Sun Wukong, who didn't need to study technology, learned it.

"It's useful for the future."

Sun Wukong replied: "Only by exhausting all spells and learning all technologies can I hope to create the future."

The Wanling Immortal Path he wanted to initiate, where knowledge would be created by everyone but needed to be integrated by him.

Mr. Gu Zhi escorted Sun Wukong out of the library, then he looked towards the Sound Symbol Store.

A group of merchants were gathered in front of the store.

"Those are merchants from the Kingdom of Chechi."

Mr. Gu Zhi said: "They are here to buy sound symbols."

The sound symbol market in Wanling Country was saturated, and now the produced sound symbols were mostly used for trade, very popular among the nobles of Chechi.

Sun Wukong watched the merchants for a while, then saw a gleam of bright light as some reflective mirrors appeared in the store.

No, those were not mirrors but the heads of monks walking out.

"Mr. Gu Zhi!"

The monks came out and quickly noticed Mr. Gu Zhi.

Elder Guang Hui approached: "Sir, it's great you are here; you can give us some advice."

Mr. Gu Zhi was puzzled: "What advice?"

"Elder Jin Chan asked us to research a new style of sound symbols, needing ten buttons."

Elder Guang Hui explained.

"Ten buttons?"

Mr. Gu Zhi looked confused.

"We need to set these ten buttons on a circular device, able to connect ten people."

Elder Guang Hui said: "Make it into a bracelet or a kind of mirror."

"Wouldn't twelve buttons work?"

Sun Wukong asked.

"This... could also work!"

Elder Guang Hui glanced at him, unsure who he was, but still nodded.

"Then let's base it on the twelve Earthly Branches."

Sun Wukong suggested.

The Earthly Branches had twelve, specifically: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig.

"It could be made into the face of a sundial."

He added.

"A sundial face?"

Elder Guang Hui stared at Sun Wukong in surprise; his ideas were unique.

"What do you guys think?"

He turned to inquire among the other monks.

The other monks all nodded, thinking the idea of combining sound symbols and a sundial face was excellent.

Elder Guang Hui thanked Sun Wukong, then turned to leave with the monks.

Sun Wukong also bade farewell to Mr. Gu Zhi, returning to Wanling City.

This year, the seventh year of the ten-year plan, the population of Wanling City broke through to one million, completing the transition target ahead of schedule.

Sun Wukong held a grand celebration banquet in Wanling Hall.

At the banquet, the immortals indulged in joyful drinking, while the Crown Prince and the Dragon King engaged in a drinking challenge.

"Father, please drink."

"After you!"

The two kept toasting to each other, with sparks seeming to fly between them.

They had already downed twenty cups, and the West Sea Dragon King did not spare the Crown Prince in the slightest.

The Crown Prince was young, yet he showed no signs of backing down.

Ao Luan couldn't help but whisper in Sun Wukong's ear, "Their relationship really isn't good."

Sun Wukong nodded.

After all, it was someone else's family matter, and it hadn't escalated to a feud yet, so he did not inquire further.

At that moment, the Star Official of Kuimu brought over seven children to toast Sun Wukong, including three sets of twins.

"Star Official of Kuimu."

The Water Virtues Star Monarch couldn't help but exclaim, "You are truly incredible!"

"It's not my doing."

The Star Official of Kuimu shook his head. "It's all thanks to Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad's Immortal Pill."

"I gave him a few Twin Pills."

Lord Lao Zi said, "The special spiritual energy underground has allowed me to develop many interesting things."

He had used the Star Official of Kuimu as a guinea pig.

"Lord," Sun Wukong cautioned, "don't overdo it with them."

"They thoroughly enjoy it."

Lord Lao Zi laughed.

Then, he took out an item from his bosom and handed it to Sun Wukong, "Great Saint, this is the fan you wanted."

Sun Wukong looked at the fan in his hands, his eyes lighting up with surprise.

"Are you truly willing to part with it?"

"I'm not short of just one."

Lord Lao Zi nodded and said, "The Star Official of Kuimu can also lend a hand with stoking the fires."

"Then, my thanks to you, Lord!"

Sun Wukong thanked Lord Lao Zi.

He then beckoned over Lady Rakshasa.

"You have been studying by my side for many years, and now you hold an important post, yet you still lack a decent Magical Treasure for protection."

Sun Wukong handed the fan to her, "This is for you!"

Lady Rakshasa stared at the fan in surprise, a look of disbelief on her face.

"This, this is…"

It was a Palm Leaf Fan, which actually comes in two types, one that suppresses fire and one that stokes fire.

The one Sun Wukong gave to Lady Rakshasa was the kind used by Lord Lao Zi to stoke fires.

"I once obtained a Palm Leaf Fan from your master, yet I owed it to you."

Sun Wukong said, "This Palm Leaf Fan, I give to you."

The surrounding crowd, seeing this, began to congratulate Lady Rakshasa.

Lady Rakshasa treasured the Palm Leaf Fan.

There was a time when she deeply resented Sun Wukong for taking away her Palm Leaf Fan.

But over the years, the life Sun Wukong gave her, the knowledge he taught her, were far more precious than the Palm Leaf Fan; she had long forgotten about it.

Seeing that Sun Wukong still remembered, Lady Rakshasa was quite moved.

"Thank you, Great King!"

Lady Rakshasa stowed away the Palm Leaf Fan.

Sun Wukong looked at her, also feeling quite sentimental.

He truly had changed many people's fates.

"You have never had a name of your own."

Sun Wukong said to Lady Rakshasa, "Now that you have a new Treasured Fan, how about I help you choose a new name?"

"Please, grant me a name, Great King."

Lady Rakshasa gave a respectful bow.

"Let's call you Princess Iron Fan..."

Sun Wukong had an impression of the name from the Heavenly Book.

But after saying it, he felt it might not be appropriate. "Or perhaps Princess Treasure Fan would be better?"

"No need…"

Lady Rakshasa shook her head, "Thank you, Great King. Princess Iron Fan is very good."

The gaze of the second Great King nearby was almost murderous; how could she dare to accept such a splendid name as Princess Treasure Fan.

But the Great King apparently knew she was a princess in her previous life.

Lady Rakshasa felt somewhat pleased.
