Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 165 Xiao Zuanfeng

Chechi Kingdom, top of Yuntai Mountain.

Xiao Chen, Huli Daxian and Black Bear Demon sat around the table.

On the table lay a pile of gold and a dozen playing cards with gold and jade characters.

The three of them are playing cards.

The situation and the card game this time are different from before.

Xiao Chen used his real card skills to kill the black bear demon without leaving a single piece of armor, and even the black tassel spear, which was his bread and butter, was almost defeated.

"Three sixes and three sevens, living together and flying together!"

The black bear demon's muffled voice was heard.

"Pass."

The helpless voice of Huli Daxian came.

"Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, come on."

The black bear demon's eyes were red as he threw out seven cards, took a gamble, and slammed them hard on the table, looking like a gambler or a gambling addict.

"Pass."

Xiao Chen looked at the cards that the Black Bear Demon played. He had tried to test the Black Bear Demon by playing a pair before. The Black Bear Demon couldn't afford a pair, so he probably had a single card in his hand.

Counting the cards, I guess the black bear demon still has a Joker card left.

"Three preserved eggs with a five."

"Call the police, one card."

The black bear demon looked at the cards in his hand with a hint of nervousness.

This time he is the landlord and he places a big bet, hoping to go all in and make back all his previous losses.

It's strange. Heifeng's luck in playing cards has been bad recently. He has already lost 20,000 to 30,000 taels of gold to the King of Golden Horn. It's like he has lost all the money he won before.

Not only that, he also lost a lot of his Black Wind Mountain savings.

He has nothing to pledge as collateral now, so he can only delay the construction.

Originally he was assigned a term of nine hundred years, but now it has been increased to one thousand years.

Now I’ve been a farmhand for a thousand years, Heifeng. Why is it that the hours of work are getting longer and longer?
"Three old Ks and a six."

Xiao Chen's voice came.

When the black bear demon saw this, a trace of despair flashed in his eyes, but when he looked at the king in his hand, he immediately regained his confidence.

As long as the king is here, there is hope! Don't panic, Heifeng!
Heifeng just didn't believe that these two people didn't have a single card in their hands!

"Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten..."

"To four."

"Yes nine."

"Yes to ten."

……

Xiao Chen took over the game and finished it in a flash.

The black bear demon looked at the king in his hand, his eyes darkened, how could he lose again?
"Heifeng, you're taking a big gamble!"

"Another twenty years."

Xiao Chen took out the long-term labor contract with a smile, picked up a pen and wrote a supplementary contract below it, adding 20 years to the Black Bear Demon's working period.

"Okay, add more."

The black bear demon has become numb. He is not worried about having too many debts, and he is not itchy because of too many lice. It doesn't matter anymore.

Just wait for him to win it back when the black wind comes! If you are lucky, it will be a one-shot deal.

His luck before Heifeng was very good!

"Black Wind, come again."

"It's hard to say, I won it back in one go."

Xiao Chen looked at the black bear demon in front of him and continued to instigate.

The black bear demon in front of him had become addicted to gambling and couldn't extricate himself, and the debt owed to him was increasing.

Playing cards, to put it bluntly, is a game of capital. He has much more gold, silver and money than the black bear demon.

He was the one who taught the Black Bear Demon how to play cards, so naturally he had some reservations.

How could the Black Bear Demon possibly defeat him?

"Come!"

"Come again!"

"I, Heifeng, will win it all back in one fell swoop. I will win it all back in one fell swoop."

The black bear demon licked his fingers, prayed silently, and prepared to pick up the cards.

At this moment.

The green-faced fish demon came to report: "My lord, someone from Ling Yunxuan is here at the foot of the mountain to ask to see you."

"Oh? Someone from Ling Yunxuan."

Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this.

Ever since the mosquito demon Shu Wen evolved the ability to clone himself, he has sent spy demons like Mosquito One, Mosquito Two, and Mosquito Three to inquire about the news of shops such as Foyuan Pavilion, Tiangong Pavilion, and Lingyunxuan.

He had found out a few years ago that Ling Yunxuan had been using the money he earned to engage in the human trafficking business.

Moreover, Lingyunxuan was not limited to men and women, but only looked at age. The people they bought were all boys and girls, young and middle-aged men and women.

According to his experience as the monster king and commanding a group of monsters, these people are nothing special but taste good.

He guessed that the shopkeeper behind Lingyunxuan was most likely a man-eating monster.

However, the shopkeeper behind Lingyunxuan is very secretive. He neither reveals his name nor his whereabouts. It is really unknown which big monster in Xiniu Hezhou is running this equipment refining business.

However, since we are all demons, we should naturally be on the same front.

It would be nice if his Silizhai could cooperate with Lingyunxuan to fight against Foyuan Pavilion and Tiangong Pavilion, and they could expand their business together.

He had wanted to meet the owner of Lingyunxuan a few years ago, but was delayed by Yang Chan's affairs.

Unexpectedly, the people from Ling Yunxuan actually took the initiative to send someone to contact him.

"See."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and gave orders.

Not long after, a man with a green face came in with yellow hair that was as messy as weeds, a cunning look in his eyes, dark skin, a dark face, and a thin and strong figure.

The man was wearing an exquisite yellow leopard skin shirt, a small black cape, and a token hanging from his waist. He exuded a wild aura and was full of demonic aura, which was not concealed.

The two eyes of this skinny little demon were rolling around, and he looked very clever. Xiao Chen glanced at him and felt that he looked familiar.

He actually had some impression of this skinny, dark little demon.

In the past, this thin and dark little demon was always in the team that escorted weapons and magic tools to Ling Yunxuan. He should be considered as a trusted little demon of the shopkeeper Ling Yunxuan.

"The king sent me to deliver a letter."

The skinny little demon in a black cloak bowed and said, looking very proud.

The skinny little demon obviously thought it was an honor for him to take on the important task of delivering the letter.

"Your Majesty."

As soon as Xiao Chen heard the word "King", he knew what was going on.

The shopkeeper of Lingyunxuan must be a monster.

This skinny and dark little demon looked very clever, but unexpectedly, he spoke without carefulness. He turned out to be a fool and revealed some information directly.

The green-faced little fish demon took the letter from the thin and dark little demon and handed it to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen opened the envelope and took a look.

The content of the letter was very simple. The gist of it was that he would meet at a restaurant in Zhuzi Country in three days to discuss cooperation in refining equipment.

The signature is "Qingmao".

"Green Spear?"

"Green Spear?"

Xiao Chen pondered over it in his mind. He had never heard of such a person as the Green Spear Demon King, so he had no idea what kind of spirit he was.

"Do you know what your king's background is like?"

Xiao Chen looked at the dark and thin little demon's stupid appearance and asked tentatively.

"My king told me not to say anything and just come and deliver the letter."

"For the rest, if you're asked, just say you don't know or are not sure."

The skinny and dark little demon said this very honestly.

He acted as if I wouldn't say anything and that the king had told me to keep my mouth shut.

"okay, I get it."

"Please tell your king that I, King Jinjiao, will be at the banquet on time in three days."

Xiao Chen smiled.

Since they were all monsters and had the same stance, it would be easy to discuss the matter. After three days, he would naturally know who the owner of Lingyunxuan was.

"Okay, King Golden Horn."

After receiving Xiao Chen's reply, the skinny little demon completed the task assigned to him by the king. He was very happy and went back happily.

"Who should I take with me in three days?"

"Black Bear Demon, Bull Demon King?"

Xiao Chen was thinking about who to take with him in three days to show his strength.

This was considered a formal meeting between the two forces, so it had to be solemn and not lose face as King Golden Horn.

In business negotiations, appearance is very important.

The Water-Resistant Golden-Eyed Beast is his mount, used to show off his abilities. He must ride the Water-Resistant Golden-Eyed Beast to show off his abilities.

Among the three Tiger Power Immortals, Tiger Power Immortal is the second in command of the Four Powers House and a core figure, so he must go together. Sheep Power Immortal and Deer Power Immortal stayed behind in Yuntai Mountain.

The Scorpion Demon is currently in seclusion in the Poison Enemy Mountain. She is preparing to break through to the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm in one fell swoop. Now is a critical moment, so it would be a bad idea to disturb her.

Although Niu Mowang joined Silizhai and opened a branch with him.

But the Bull Demon King had been hiding behind the scenes, collecting huge sums of money and only dispatching a few little demons to run the shop business.

The Bull Demon King basically never shows up, and ordinary people don’t really know that the Bull Demon King has joined the Silizhai and is considered his secret weapon.

On the surface, Bull Demon King has brothers all over the world, including numerous brothers in the four continents. He is just one of his brothers, so it’s nothing.

Xiao Chen glanced at the Black Bear Demon. The Black Bear Demon was already at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. After eating the large-fruit peaches, he had almost reached the half-step Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

The Black Bear Demon was very skilled in martial arts and had a strong body. He also had a decent black wind ability, so he could fight against ordinary Taiyi Golden Immortals. If there was anything, the Black Bear Demon could also help him out.

Think of this.

Xiao Chen said to the Black Bear Demon: "Heifeng, in three days, you must close the mountain gate and come with me."

What happened to the original agreement that he was only supposed to guard the mountain? His boss assigned him another task!
What a black-hearted boss!

Let's be clear, Heifeng can't work for nothing.

Any work beyond the duties of guarding the mountain will require additional payment.

Hearing this, the Black Bear Spirit raised his head and said unhappily, "Boss, this has to be a different price."

"Just deduct five years from your current term."

Xiao Chen waved his hand and smiled.

"Alright, alright."

Upon hearing this, the Black Bear Demon said helplessly that he now owed the Golden Horn King more than a thousand years of work.

It's worth the trip, minus five years, and it's not a loss.

The mosquito demon Shu Wen can be big or small, and has many clones. If anything happens, he can also inform you, so you can bring him along.

"Silver Horn."

Yinjiao has been helping out at Silizhai's shop recently. After a few years, he can now work on his own and can be considered a capable little demon under his command.

After all, Yinjiao is a member of their toad clan, so he can be trained.

Xiao Chen was considering whether to take Yinjiao with him, so that Yinjiao could see the world and get some training, which would come in handy in the future.

The two horns go out to fight.

……

Zhu Ziguo.

A remote estate.

The three monsters, the green-haired lion monster, the yellow-toothed old elephant monster, and the golden-winged Roc, each sat on a big throne.

"Your Majesty, I'm back."

The skinny little dark demon who had brought the letter back was kneeling on the ground, reporting to the three demons.

The golden-winged Peng Eagle looked at the skinny little demon who had brought the letter back and asked:
"Xiao Zuanfeng, how is the matter going?"
