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

Chapter 358 Daily Life in Pansi Cave

Pingfeng Mountain and Pansi Cave.

This... Xiao Chen was interrupted at the critical moment, Qing Jiao in Pan Si Daxian's body suddenly ran out and wanted to talk to Zi Jiao alone.

This is a matter between sisters, and it is not convenient for me to interfere.

Xiao Chen tidied his clothes and then temporarily left the Pansi Cave.

At the entrance of Pansi Cave, the sesame stone fairy saw Xiao Chen coming out and said in surprise:

"King Jinjiao, how come you came out so quickly to recover from your injuries? How is my master's injury?"

He was guarding the gate of Pansi Cave, so he was naturally very clear about Xiao Chen's whereabouts.

In the past, the Golden Horn King always came in the morning and went out around evening. Why did he come out during the day this time?

Xiao Chen patted the sesame stone door and said with a smile:
"Zhima, just watch the door carefully. Don't worry about your master's injury. I will find another way."

Upon hearing this, Zhima opened the door without saying anything.

After all, he is just a gatekeeper. The right thing to do is to ask less, look less, and inquire less about his master's affairs. The right thing to do is to just guard the gate honestly.

So, Zhima opened the door on his own accord and let Xiao Chen leave, while silently praying in his heart that his master, "Pansidaxian", would recover soon.

Walk out of Pansi Cave.

Xiao Chen looked around and saw that the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord was still concentrating on studying the Qinyuan toxin in the Pansi Temple.

Since obtaining the Qinyuan poison, the Hundred-Eyed Demon King regarded it as a treasure and immersed himself in the research of the poison all day long, enjoying it very much.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen did not disturb the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

Xiao Chen was already accustomed to the obsession of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord. He knew very well that for the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, poison was his life and his path to perfection.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion in his heart. Among the Five Poisons, each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and everyone's paths are also different.

There are actually many sayings about these five poisons. The old five poisons originally referred to snake venom, scorpion venom, centipede venom, toad venom, and gecko venom.

This is because the ancients did not have enough knowledge about geckos, so they thought they were poisonous.

In fact, only gecko urine is slightly toxic.

The new five poisons are probably snakes, scorpions, centipedes, toads, and spiders.

Xiao Chen secretly calculated the forces under his command. Now, he can be regarded as "all five poisons".
Toad spirit, the King of Golden Horns.

Scorpion King, the Red Venom King.

Centipede monster, the demon king with a hundred eyes.

Spider spirits, the seven spider spirits in the Panshi Cave.

However, Xiao Chen always felt that something was missing.

All he needs is some powerful snake spirits, and then he will have the five most poisonous creatures in the world under his command.

Xiao Chen sighed inwardly.

Although he has some snake spirits under his command, their strength is rather mediocre and they are unable to take on major responsibilities.

The most powerful snake spirits he had ever seen in the world were the descendants of the Nine Infants - the nine-headed Jin Ni and the nine-headed Qing Jun, the two golden and green snake spirits.

but.

Because of the matter of the seven gourd spirits, he became enemies with Nine-Headed Jin Ni and Nine-Headed Qing Jun.

I'm afraid it will be difficult for the two sides to get along when they meet.

……

At the entrance of Pansi Cave, a gentle breeze blew, bringing a hint of mysterious coolness.

Xiao Chen stood there quietly, his brows furrowed, his eyes deep, revealing an indescribable worry.

His thoughts were like the flying catkins in spring, drifting in the wind.

"The method to heal the wound of the foundation..."

Xiao Chen whispered to himself, thinking about various possibilities in his mind:

"Peaches, Laojun Pills, Jade Emperor Wine, Queen Mother Medicine..."

"Almost all the good things in the three realms are in Heaven. I guess there must be some treasures in Heaven that I can try..."

"It can heal the wounds to the foundation of Pansi Immortal."

Just as Xiao Chen was pondering in secret, a clear and pleasant voice came from the cave, interrupting his thoughts:

"Jinjiao, please come in quickly."

The voice is still the same voice, familiar yet with a special charm.

However, Xiao Chen clearly heard the difference - this was Zi Jiao's voice.

There is no other reason, Zijiao is just like a soft girl who is always playful, cute and gentle as water in her daily life.

There is always a hint of sweetness in her voice, lively and cheerful, as if she has some kind of magic that can instantly dispel all the haze and sorrow in people's hearts.

Her elder sister Qingjiao is a cold and aloof young lady.

Every look in her eyes was like ice, and every time she spoke, there was an inviolable chill.

Her voice was as cold as the winter wind, making people shiver when they heard it.

really.

With a nervous mood, Xiao Chen stepped into the Pansidian Cave again.

The sunlight in the cave flickers, and the light and shadows interweave, like a flowing painting, reflecting a figure in purple plain clothes.

That graceful figure, light and elegant, is like the fairy Zixia walking out of a painting. Who else could it be but Zijiao?

When Zijiao saw Xiao Chen, a trace of joy that was hard to conceal flashed in her eyes. She flew away like a light swallow and instantly embraced Xiao Chen's arms.

There was a hint of apology in her voice, as gentle as a spring breeze:
"Golden Horn, I'm sorry for making you worry."

Xiao Chen hugged Zijiao, feeling her tenderness and warmth, and the worry and anxiety in his heart dissipated slightly.

He patted Zijiao's back gently and said softly:

"Have you talked to your sister? She...didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

Zijiao shook her head, then nodded, with a complicated expression.

Finally, she said firmly:

"Yes, we have discussed it."

"Sister...actually..."

Zijiao paused, as if she didn't know how to explain this complicated situation.

After hearing this, Xiao Chen became even more curious.

He couldn't help but said:

"Zi Jiao, how...do you guys calculate this? Are we sharing a body, or what?"

“I never quite understood it.”

When Zi Jiao heard this, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, and she explained:

"Jinjiao, actually, we are the proud insect clan."

"The Jiao Chong clan is born with two heads, which makes them a kind of stinging insect with two heads."

"Proud insect?"

"Two-headed stinging insect?"

This was the first time that Xiao Chen learned about the background of Pansi Daxian.

In the world of mythology, dragons, phoenixes, unicorns, peng birds, black tortoises... and so on, these are all well-known mythological creatures.

Everyone knows.

But the mythical creature, the Jiao Chong, is relatively unpopular and few people know about it.

In fact, Xiao Chen didn't know much about this. He had never heard of the creature called Jiao Chong. He only knew that it seemed to be a strange insect in "Classic of Mountains and Seas", but he didn't know the specific details.

However, he did have some understanding of the word "stinging insect".

A stinging insect refers to an insect that has a poisonous needle at the tail that can sting people.

The poisonous bees can be considered as stinging insects and are the representatives among stinging insects.

In this way, the great immortal Pan Si is close in blood to the Qinyuan clan, and can be considered a close relative.

Xiao Chen didn't find anything strange about the two-headed creature.

After all, in the mythological world, multi-headed creatures are not uncommon, such as the Nine-headed Insect, which is a ten-headed bird; the Nine-spirited Saint, which is a nine-headed lion; and the Demon Saint Nine Infants, which is a nine-headed giant snake... These are all representatives of multi-headed creatures.

There are many creatures with multiple heads... in the mythological world. They are generally ancient and exotic species, quite powerful and exceptionally strong.

It's not strange that Pansi Immortal has two heads.

If possible, he, the King of Golden Horn, would also like to grow a few more heads and become a three-headed toad, a nine-headed toad, or something like that.

More heads increase both combat power and survivability.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if this were the case?
However, Xiao Chen recalled the nine-headed golden rainbow, the nine-headed green bamboo, the nine-headed insect... they all had multiple heads. They even had more heads than the Great Immortal Pansi, but they did not encounter a situation like the Great Immortal Pansi.

Zi Jiao seemed to see the doubt in Xiao Chen's heart. She took Xiao Chen's arm and explained softly:

"Golden Horn, that's it."

"We, the proud insect clan, are different."

"Both of us are the main leaders, regardless of who is the main one or the secondary one."

"But the one that was born first is the elder sister, Qing Jiao."

"The one that came out later was for my sister, that is me."

"The two heads each have their own independent consciousness, two minds coexisting in the same body, sharing one body."

“We have two completely different souls and minds.”

"She is she, and I am me. Although we share the same body, we are two completely independent individuals."

Xiao Chen suddenly realized what was going on:
"I see."

At this point, he finally figured out what this Pansi Immortal was all about.

He used to think that this Pansi Immortal had a split personality.

Now, he understood the reason.

To put it simply, Pansi Daxian is a two-headed stinging insect similar to a poisonous bee.

However, her two heads each have independent consciousness, but they share the same body.

It can also be said that there are two "souls" contained in the body of Pansi Daxian.

However, Xiao Chen actually has a different opinion on this.

"Zi Jiao and Qing Jiao, in a sense, can be considered two demons,"

"But it is also possible that Zijiao and Qingjiao are actually the same demon. The two sisters represent two different sides of a proud insect." "Zijiao represents the emotional side of a proud insect, absolutely emotional, gentle as water, and passionate as fire."

"And Qing Jiao represents the rational side of Jiao Chong, absolutely rational, cold as ice, introverted and deep."

“You can’t have one without the other.”

"It's like a person's left brain and right brain. The left brain focuses on logical thinking, while the right brain focuses on emotional expression."

……

Xiao Chen collected his scattered thoughts and cast his gaze gently upon Zijiao, the Pansi Fairy, who was nestled in his arms.

The situation of the Great Immortal Pansi was indeed too complicated, with two heads sharing one body and independent souls. But for Xiao Chen at this moment, it didn't matter whether she was Qingjiao or not. Anyway, the Zijiao in his arms belonged to him, and there was no doubt about that.

"Jinjiao, actually my sister and I don't strictly divide the time according to day and night."

Zijiao explained softly:
"Day and night are just an agreement between us sisters to roughly distinguish the time range for our respective activities."

"But if one of us does something extreme, the other will feel it."

"For example, last time in the Monster Market, my sister wanted to kill you, and I could clearly sense her murderous intent."

Speaking of this, Zi Jiao's face turned slightly red. She lowered her head and leaned into Xiao Chen's arms, her voice a little shy:

"Also, we just...just did something so intimate that my sister could sense it."

"This is a characteristic of our proud insect clan. Although our souls are independent, we share the same body."

“So the induction between them is particularly strong.”

"I see……"

At this point, Xiao Chen has fully understood the special features of the Jiao Chong clan.

"What did you and your sister talk about just now?"

Xiao Chen gently stroked Zijiao's hair and asked curiously.

Zi Jiao raised her head, looked into Xiao Chen's eyes, and said slowly:

"My sister said that we each have our own heads and can do whatever we want. She has no right to control us."

"But the body is shared, so each person has half the right to use it."

At this point, Zijiao's face turned even redder. She lowered her head and spoke in a voice as thin as a mosquito:
"My sister also emphasized that I cannot use it privately without her permission... to do something excessive, such as having sex in broad daylight."

"Golden Horn, I know it may be embarrassing to say this, but this is the agreement between us sisters, and I must abide by it."

"But don't worry, I will try my best to gain my sister's understanding and support so that we can be together more often."

Xiao Chen listened to Zi Jiao's words. Although he felt a little regretful, he also expressed respect and understanding. He hugged Zi Jiao tightly and said softly:
"Zi Jiao, there's no need to do this."

"As the saying goes: If love lasts forever, it doesn't matter if you're together day and night."

"Right now, you won't live for a hundred years."

"The most important thing is to find a way to treat your injuries first."

"Golden Horn..."

Zijiao was moved when she heard this.

She was well aware of her physical condition. It would be no easy task to heal all the injuries to her Taoist foundation and the power of Xuanming.

She leaned gently in Xiao Chen's arms, with a hint of helplessness and sadness in her eyes.

……

Xiao Chen's purpose of coming to Pansi Cave was very clear, which was to help Pansi Immortal completely heal the injury of his soul.

After his soul's injury was healed, Xiao Chen planned to look for Sun Wukong, who was the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in Heaven.

Sun Wukong is knowledgeable and experienced in the Heavenly Palace, and perhaps he knows some rare treasures that can heal Zijiao's fundamental injury.

only.

There was a small episode in the middle.

The "Yao Ting Yuye Wine" of the Great Immortal Pan Si seems to be very special. It has some substance and is very strong.

Xiao Chen and Pansi Daxian wanted to have a few drinks, but they didn't expect that the alcohol would make them drunk, and the two demons rolled onto the bed unconsciously.

Now, the two demons have become a little more awake, and Xiao Chen naturally has to continue his unfinished healing.

In the courtyard of the Pansi Immortal.

In that familiar bedroom.

The messy quilt on the bed, the torn purple dress on the floor, the alluring scent in the air...all silently told of what had just happened.

The two demons, King Jinjiao and Fairy Pansi, were already in love and were almost frank with each other, so naturally there were no taboos.

Therefore, this time the healing process is very different from before.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, adjusted his state, then hugged Pansi Fairy Zijiao tightly, pressing her against his chest.

He used the true fire of the sun in his body and turned himself into a small furnace to warm Zijiao's body and resist the coldness of the mysterious power that was eroding her spirit.

The true fire of the sun burned brightly, warming not only Zijiao's body but also her heart.

There is a saying: "Once is new, twice is familiar."

This was the third time that Xiao Chen had treated the injuries of the Great Immortal Pan Si, and he knew every detail of her spiritual injury.

However, for seriously ill people, treatment needs to be gradual and not quick.

Especially when the soul is seriously injured like the one suffered by Pansi Daxian.

The soul is inherently fragile and cannot withstand the slightest disturbance.

Fortunately, after several treatments, the injury to Pansi Daxian’s soul is almost healed.

However, Xiao Chen did not slack off because of this.

Xiao Chen concentrated all his attention and devoted himself to healing his wounds, activating the power of the Precious Lotus Lantern and mobilizing the Seven Treasures Magic Fire.

The Precious Lotus Lantern is an extremely powerful healing magic weapon.

With the help of the Precious Lotus Lantern, Xiao Chen carefully sensed the changes in Zijiao's soul, and every slight fluctuation could not escape his perception.

at this time.

Xiao Chen took one step at a time and used the Seven Treasures Magic Fire to completely heal the injury to Pansi Daxian's soul bit by bit.

The healing is complete.

Xiao Chen and Pansi Daxian, the two demons were naturally affectionate again. They hugged each other tightly and kissed passionately.

However, the two demons took Qing Jiao's presence into consideration. Although they were affectionate, they still restrained their actions and the scale was naturally smaller.

This scene is just as the ancient poem says:
"The spring breeze knocks gently at Yumen Pass, and a little taste brings a little love."

The tenderness and restraint make this warm picture more subtle and gentle.

Zi Jiao in his arms felt the hot breath from somewhere in Xiao Chen's body. She smiled playfully and asked:

"Jinjiao, it's very uncomfortable, right?"

This sentence undoubtedly tickled Xiao Chen's nerves, but he just shook his head helplessly.

Of course he knew what Zijiao meant by "uncomfortable", as he was interrupted by Qingjiao at the critical moment.

He naturally felt very uncomfortable.

but.

Xiao Chen still respected the agreement between Zijiao and Qingjiao, and also respected Qingjiao's feelings.

He would first find a way to heal the wound of Pansi Daxian, and then have a good talk with Qingjiao and properly handle this complicated relationship.

But Xiao Chen suddenly thought of what Zi Jiao had said before:
"We each have our own heads, we can do whatever we want, she can't control us."

These words were like a breeze that blew away the confusion in his heart.

To put it bluntly, Jiao Chong has two heads, each of which has its own rules.

Zijiao's head is naturally her own. She has the right to decide her own affairs without being bound by Qingjiao.

Xiao Chen glanced at Zi Jiao and saw that her face was lightly made up, her beautiful eyes were sparkling like a newly blooming lotus, and her eyebrows were as light as willow branches, with a bit of tenderness and charm.

There was a light touch of lip balm on her lips, the color was warm, like the first blooming cherry blossom petals in spring, soft and attractive.

Those wilted lips appear even more rosy and delicate, making people want to kiss them.

Between lovers, the joy of the boudoir is naturally more candid.

The children of the demon race have always been bold, enthusiastic and not particular about details.

The demon race has a direct style of behavior and never hides their emotions, which are always so direct and passionate.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was hugging Zi Jiao, feeling the hot, soft and warm fragrance of her body in his arms.

As a monster who always ate meat, he naturally couldn't help the throbbing in his heart.

However, since he could only look at it and not eat it, the excitement in his heart became even more difficult to suppress.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil, but the heat burning like a raging fire made him unable to control himself.

"Cough cough cough..."

Xiao Chen coughed dryly, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Zi Jiao..."

He hugged Zijiao and whispered something in her ear in a low and hoarse voice.

There was a hint of teasing and ambiguity in his words, as if he was teasing, but also as if he was expressing his true feelings.

"Golden horn!"

"You bad golden horn!"

"It's really bad!"

Zi Jiao blushed at first, and then glared at Xiao Chen in a rare coquettish manner.

Those eyes were full of tenderness and pampering, as if she was blaming him for being naughty, but also as if she was enjoying this rare intimacy.

For a while.

Zijiao's heartbeat quickened and her cheeks flushed, making her look as tempting as a ripe cherry.

However, Zijiao did not reject Xiao Chen's closeness.

On the contrary, she neatly tied up her long black hair, and skillfully weaved the waterfall-like hair into a bun in her hands, which further highlighted her gentleness and softness.

then.

Zi Jiao bent her graceful body so that she was almost close to Xiao Chen.

To serve him.

It is:

"On a moonlit night at the Twenty-Four Bridges, where can the beautiful lady teach me how to play the flute?"
