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

Chapter 363: The Yellow Wind Great Sage
Inside the Silizhai, the secret room was deep and dark, with flickering candlelight illuminating the figures of the Golden Horned King and Ao Yao, the All Saints Dragon Girl.

Now that both parties have reached an agreement, it's time to get going.

"Ao Yao, I have some chores to take care of here."

"We will meet here in a month, and then go to the Chitie Mountains to discuss something with the Bull Demon King."

Xiao Chen said to Princess Halloween.

When toads hunt, they always adopt a strategy of waiting for the right move. They lurk patiently and do not move.

Once the time is right, the toad will act quickly, with agility and accuracy.

"If you don't move, you will succeed. Once you move, you will definitely succeed." This is the true meaning of hunting by toads!
The toad demon King Golden Horn is naturally the same, cautious and decisive.

As the saying goes: "Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood."

Stealing treasure from heaven is a matter of great importance and requires careful planning. One must act after careful consideration and know when to stop in order to gain success.

The key lies in "internal and external cooperation".

He had already made up his mind about the choice of the internal supporter.

As for foreign aid, his first choice is naturally Bull Demon King.

Without him.

The fewer people who know about this, the better.

He needs to choose someone he trusts absolutely, and this person must be strong and cooperative.

He and the Bull Demon King had imprisoned the uncle of Tathagata Buddha, robbed prisoners in heaven, killed the Bodhisattva of Lingshan, and beheaded the Venerable of Lingshan...

We are like grasshoppers tied together by a rope.

Such a life-and-death friendship has long been tested, so he can certainly trust it.

Naturally, he would also drag Bull Demon King into this matter.

He also wanted to see what good ideas the Bull Demon King had.

"That's just right."

Ao Yao stood up slowly, her tone gentle but with unquestionable determination:
"King Jinjiao, I also need to go back to the Dragon Palace first."

"Prepare what I need."

The matter of "stealing treasures from heaven" has been settled.

Xiao Chen and Princess Wansheng smiled at each other and said goodbye.

Princess Halloween left slowly.

Her figure was graceful, like a light blue breeze, gently blowing past the exit of the secret room.

That light blue silhouette gradually lengthened in the dim sunlight, leaving only a faint fragrance that lingered in the secret room for a long time.

Looking at Princess Wansheng's back, Xiao Chen smiled softly:

"This Wansheng Dragon Girl is indeed a remarkable woman."

This Halloween dragon girl Ao Yao, like her sister-in-law Bai Susu, the golden-nosed, white-haired mouse spirit, are both women with lives as fragile as paper.

It’s just that Halloween Dragon Girl is more focused on internal demand and wants to change her own destiny.

She is like a magnolia that has experienced wind and rain. No matter how many hardships she encounters, she always maintains her pride and tenacity.

The golden-nosed, white-haired rat demon chose to seek help from the outside, from the Scorpion Demon, from his own King of the Golden Horn, and later from the Golden Cicada, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li, Nezha... He sought help along the way, trying to find an opportunity to change his own destiny.

However, is there any distinction between noble and lowly in this act of survival?
Every fairy is trying to survive and fight in his own way, which in itself is a kind of courage worthy of respect.

Thinking of his sister-in-law, the golden-nosed, white-haired rat demon, Xiao Chen recalled that she had secretly come to him once or twice later and took away the weapon she had always wanted - the "Poison Blade Double-edged Sword".

After taking the poison blade double-edged sword.

His sister-in-law, the golden-nosed, white-haired rat demon named Bai Suzhen, found a secluded place near Lingshan Mountain and dug a cave, naming it "Xiankong Mountain Bottomless Cave", and it seemed that she had settled down there.

Nowadays, the timeline of Journey to the West is completely messed up, and many things have happened ahead of time.

With a sharp weapon in the body, the murderous heart starts from the beginning.

The desire for power and freedom in the heart of the golden-nosed white-haired mouse gives her some bold ideas from time to time.

Perhaps this golden-nosed, white-haired rat demon wanted to steal the incense, flowers and candles of the Buddha?

Once upon a time.

The golden-nosed, white-haired rat demon also invited herself to her bottomless cave in Xiankong Mountain to drink tea.

She sent a little demon to deliver the message, with earnest words.

But Xiao Chen did not go because he was busy with work.

"The golden-nosed, white-haired rat demon... Bai Su Su... The rat demon stole the fragrant flowers and precious candles."

"Rat spirit..."

Xiao Chen thought of the golden-nosed, white-haired rat spirit and some of his past events with her.

He withdrew his thoughts and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

He suddenly had an inspiration for this trip to steal treasures from heaven.

"Perhaps this is a good idea..."

Xiao Chen chuckled, straightened his clothes, stepped out of the secret room, and entered the courtyard of Silizhai.

At this time, there was still a lot of noise outside the door of Silizhai.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang."

"Hey, hey, hey, let me show you how powerful my fire gourd is!"

The Fire Gourd Spirit was spitting out fireworks and firecrackers and having a lot of fun.

The colorful fireworks bloomed brilliantly in the sky, decorating the evening as if it were daytime and illuminating the fire gourd spirit's young and excited face.

Seeing Xiao Chen coming out, the Fire Gourd Spirit quickly stopped talking, bowed respectfully to the ground, and said:
"My son greets his father."

"It's okay, Hu Si, just have fun."

Xiao Chen reached out and touched the Fire Gourd Spirit's big round head and smiled.

Ever since the Fire Gourd Spirit's foundation was destroyed, he has rarely been so happy, and Xiao Chen is also happy to see him so cheerful.

"Okay, father."

The Fire Gourd Spirit said with a smile and continued to play with his fireworks.

Xiao Chen took a quick glance at the situation in the store, then called over the Great Immortal Hu Li and instructed him:

"Hu Li, you just take care of this shop for now, and make sure nothing goes wrong."

"This is our first store in Uttarakuru, and we cannot afford to lose it."

Hu Li Daxian responded respectfully:
"Yes, Brother Jinjiao."

"I will do my best to ensure the safety of the store."

"Ah."

Xiao Chen nodded and continued:

"If there is anything, please ask Senior Pansi to handle it."

"Pan Si Daxian is the elder of the Qinyuan clan. She is highly respected here and everyone respects her."

"Besides, she has a close relationship with us and will definitely help us."

It is only natural that a man works hard outside while his woman helps him look after the household business behind the scenes.

He feels at ease using it.

Xiao Chen didn't think there was anything wrong with this.

Upon hearing this, Hu Li Daxian's eyes flashed with thought, and then he immediately nodded and responded:

"Okay, I understand, Brother Jinjiao."

His tone was firm, full of loyalty and trust in Xiao Chen.

"Well... do a good job!"

Xiao Chen nodded and looked at Hu Li Daxian, who had followed him from the beginning. This first veteran of the start-up period, spoke with encouragement and expectation in his tone:
"Hu Li, although your potential is limited and the great path is hard to achieve, you are good at refining weapons."

Xiao Chen said earnestly:
"You can help me manage the weapon refining forces."

At this point, Xiao Chen smiled and promised:
"If there's anything good later, I'll get you something to eat."

"I won't treat you unfairly."

Upon hearing this, Hu Li Daxian immediately smiled happily and said with a chuckle:

"Hehehe, Brother Jinjiao, that's a great feeling."

"It is said that it is better to eat elixirs and peaches than to sit in meditation and study Zen!"

"Hard work and practice are not as good as the harmony of yin and yang!"

"It is better to indulge in pleasure than to be quiet and do nothing!"

"Happy, happy!"

He has now achieved immortality and will live as long as heaven and earth, and his wish has been fulfilled.

What's the point of practicing Taoism or Zen?

Can’t Hu Li just enjoy himself?

"Hahaha."

"You little tiger, where has all your hard work and perseverance gone?"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but laugh when he heard what the Great Immortal Huli said.

He knew that Great Immortal Huli had average aptitude, and that his current level of cultivation was entirely due to the accumulation of resources.

But Xiao Chen didn't care. Instead, he always respected the Great Immortal Huli.

Every profession has its own specialties, and every monster has its own ambitions.

The Great Immortal Huli has unique insights and skills in refining equipment, and is a rare technical talent in the world of Journey to the West.

What's more, Huli Daxian was the first demon he knew, and also the founding father of his Silizhai.

Coming from humble beginnings, the friendship and trust that has accompanied us all the way cannot be measured by money or accomplishments.

Now, he is no longer alone behind the demon.

Instead, he gathered a group of monsters who were willing to follow him and trust him.

The Scorpion Demon, the Silkworm Immortal, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord, the seven spider demons, the seven gourd demons, the Black Wind Monster, the Yellow Wind Great Sage, the Tiger-Power Immortal, the Sheep-Power Immortal, the Deer-Power Immortal, the Mosquito Demon Shu Wen, the Iron-Bone General, the Green-Faced Fish Demon, the Long-Armed Ape Yuan Tong, the Heavenly Dog Gou Tianba, the Leopard Vanguard... and countless demon generals and soldiers.

Together, they constitute the huge demon power of King Jinjiao.

He, King Golden Horn, is the king of these monsters.

As the saying goes: "The people treat the king with obedience, and the king treats the people with responsibility."

As the king of this group of monsters, Xiao Chen is responsible for the management of a territory of nearly ten thousand miles, commanding tens of thousands of monster soldiers, and also managing a huge equipment refining industry.

These are his unshirkable responsibilities and obligations as the overlord of the demon world.

Every decision made by the king is related to the safety and prosperity of his territory.

The situation in the demon world is unpredictable.

The king is the core of the group of monsters and cannot be moved lightly, as a slight move will affect the entire body.

The Monkey King Sun Wukong did not make proper arrangements for his funeral when he caused havoc in Heaven.

Later, when Sun Wukong returned, almost all the monkeys in Huaguo Mountain were dead.

He should take this lesson as a warning.

One day in heaven is one year on earth, if you really go to heaven.

I don’t know how many years it will take for him to come back after he leaves.

Don't act hastily, everything must be arranged first.

……

Deep in the Qinyuan Mountains, the Pansi Cave is filled with dappled sunlight and the atmosphere is warm and peaceful.

The Pansi Fairy Zijiao had already carefully prepared a table full of sumptuous dishes. She leaned on the table, her hands on her cheeks, her eyes flickering with anticipation, like a husband-waiting stone, quietly waiting for Xiao Chen's return.

The moment Xiao Chen stepped into the cave, Zi Jiao happily jumped into his arms like a young swallow in purple, snuggling tightly in his arms. "Jin Jiao, you're back."

Her voice was gentle and full of joy.

"Well, Zijiao, I'm back."

Xiao Chen hugged Zi Jiao gently, sniffing the faint fragrance emanating from her hair.

Now, he has the royal power in his hands and the vast territory is under his control.

These days when "red sleeves add fragrance and beautiful lady plays the flute" are so joyful and fascinating.

However, peaceful and happy days are always fleeting.

The life of a king is ultimately a life of hard work.

A day's joy is just like fishing for the moon in the water; beautiful, but illusory and short-lived.

Long-term companionship is what he pursues.

now.

Now that you have learned the method of repairing the foundation, it is time to obtain it.

"Zi Jiao, I have found some methods to repair my roots. Maybe I will leave Northern Juluzhou for a while and go out to look for it."

Xiao Chen said softly.

He did not go into detail because stealing the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum from the Heavenly Palace was actually quite risky.

Although Pansi Daxian was an ancient demon god and a powerful being at the level of Daluo Jinxian, his realm has fallen severely now. He has been ill for a long time and his body is getting weaker and weaker, almost like a mortal.

What she needs is to rest quietly and recuperate. It’s better not to make her worry.

"Ah."

Zijiao responded softly, with tears in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

She knew that Xiao Chen was determined to leave, and trying to keep him would only add to the sadness.

So, she just hugged Xiao Chen tightly, without saying a word for a long time, as if she wanted to keep this warmth and strength in her heart forever.

After a while, Zi Jiao's voice sounded beside Xiao Chen's ears, with a hint of determination and entrustment:

"Jinjiao, I will tell Baimu about our affairs later."

"Let Baimu serve you from now on."

Zi Jiao was actually very aware of her physical condition. She knew that her Taoist injuries were serious, and she didn't know whether she could still wait for Xiao Chen to come back.

Therefore, she decided to entrust the Hundred-Eyed Demon King to Xiao Chen before he left, and let the Hundred-Eyed Demon King recognize Xiao Chen as his master and establish the relationship between the monarch and his subject first.

In this way, even if something happens to her, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord will continue to assist Xiao Chen and protect him.

"This……"

"Zi Jiao, don't worry, really don't worry."

"If you tell Baimu now, I'm afraid he won't be able to bear it."

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer..."

Xiao Chen shook his head like a rattle and refused outright.

Xiao Chen had his own considerations on this matter.

On the one hand, he has been with the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord brothers for a long time.

With this sudden change in relationship, he felt it was difficult to face the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

It's not natural for everyone to get along with each other anymore.

On the other hand, he, the Golden Horned King, is just bad.

The bad ones are obvious.

He admitted that he had a rebellious and thrill-seeking mentality deep down.

He likes the feeling that everything is not clear yet, full of unknown and freshness.

The food outside may not necessarily taste better, but sometimes, people just like to be cheap and like to pursue the excitement and freshness.

If everything is too clear, it will lose its fun, and it will lose that feeling that makes your heart beat faster and your blood boil.

"Let everything take its course. When the time is right, it won't be too late for me to talk to the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord."

Xiao Chen thought to himself.

"Ok."

"Golden Horn, what if I let Baimu go with you?"

"He is now quite capable and good at poison. He can already help you."

The Great Immortal Pansi asked.

"Let Baime go with me?"

Xiao Chen heard this and thought about it seriously.

He knew very well that stealing the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum was no joke. It was extremely dangerous and difficult, and required extremely high skills and stealth.

Centipedes are actually not good at stealing things.

Centipedes are experts in poisoning.

Moreover, the monster named Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord is relatively upright and polite, so it is not a good idea to let him do such "chicken-stealing and dog-stealing" things.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord would definitely not want to do that, and it would be too much to ask.

Besides, Xiao Chen already had the best candidate in mind.

On stealing.

Rats are the best and most professional!
What a coincidence, under the command of King Jinjiao there is the most powerful rat spirit in the three realms!
This rat is a master of stealing, he is as professional as can be!
As the saying goes: "When the divine wind comes, who in the three realms can defeat it?"

He can ask that rat spirit to help him!
Hahaha, going to the heaven to steal treasures is such a suitable profession, the Great Sage Huangfeng must be very happy!

When Xiao Chen thought of the excited expression on Great Sage Huangfeng's face when he heard that he was going to steal something, he couldn't help but smile.

He seemed to have seen the excited expression on the Great Sage Huangfeng's face when he heard the mission.

Rats like to steal things; it's their nature!

The Great Sage Huang Feng would certainly say excitedly:

"My Lord, I am here to help you!"

Yes, that's right, that guy will definitely shout like that!
Furthermore, the Great Fairy Pansi is weak now and needs the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord to take care of her and recuperate her body.

What if King Jinjiao went through all the hardships to get the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum, but came back to find that the Immortal Pansi had... died.

That would be a lifelong regret.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen strengthened his decision and said to Pansi Daxian:

"Zi Jiao, you are weak now, the most important thing is to take good care of yourself."

"Let Baimu take care of you here."

"As for the demon accompanying this trip."

"I have my own generals who can do the job, so you don't have to worry."

When Pansi Daxian heard this, a trace of trust and relief flashed in his eyes.

She knew that Xiao Chen had a perfect plan in mind, so she said no more, just nodded gently and leaned her head gently on Xiao Chen's shoulder.

At that moment, time seemed to freeze and the air was filled with warmth and sweetness, as if this warmth, this reliance, and this strength would be engraved in our hearts forever.

Xiao Chen felt the attachment of Pansi Daxian and knew that Pansi Daxian was worried. He held her hand tightly and promised:
"Zi Jiao, don't worry, I will definitely come back."

"Just rest here and wait for me to come back and heal your injuries."

Upon hearing this, Pansi Fairy smiled sweetly, and that smile was like a spring breeze, warm and bright.

She looked at Xiao Chen and blinked her left eye at him, her eyes full of trust and expectation.

As if to say: "I listen to you."

now.

The blink of an eye smile of Pansi Daxian was like a flash of flower, beautiful and short-lived, but enough for Xiao Chen to remember it forever.

Pansi Daxian leaned on Xiao Chen's shoulder and said softly:
"Jinjiao, I'll wait for you to come back."

The two demons smiled at each other, and the emotions in their hearts reached their peak at this moment.

King Jinjiao and Pansi Fairy Zijiao enjoyed the delicacies in the cave. Every bite of those dishes made from rare and precious animals in the mountains was unforgettable.

The two monsters drank the "Monster Court Jade Wine" again.

The aroma of the wine is rich, sweet, and nourishes the heart like nectar, as if it can wash away all the troubles in the world, leaving only this pure joy.

Being slightly drunk, their eyes became even more blurred.

When their love deepens, they become tender and affectionate again.

Xiao Chen patted Pansi Daxian's head, as if he remembered something funny, which made Pansi Daxian laugh continuously. The laughter was as clear and pleasant as a silver bell.

The way is:
"Bo Ya is good at playing the qin, and Zhong Ziqi is good at listening."

"Hearing the music, one can understand the elegant meaning."

This is the case with the two demons King Jinjiao and Fairy Pansi.

Love grows over time.

They already had a tacit understanding.

They don't need to say much, they can understand each other's intentions from each other's eyes and actions.

Feel Xiao Chen's eyes and movements.

The fairy Pansi tied up her three thousand strands of black hair, lowered her head obediently, and a shy blush appeared on her face, making her look even more charming.

"Woooooooo..."

The jade girl's fingertips lightly touched the flute, and music immediately sounded in the cave.

The sound of the flute is like crying and complaining, and like a spring breeze blowing on your face. The moving melodies float in the air, like the sounds of nature, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"Well, Zijiao, very good..."

"The music you played is very nice..."

At this moment, they seemed to have forgotten all their worries and sorrows and were immersed in this beautiful emotion.

They just enjoy this rare tranquility and happiness, let love flow in their hearts, and let time freeze at this moment.

……

I had nothing to do yesterday, so I went to Pansi Cave and listened to music.

The beautiful lady plays the flute.

……

I have nothing to do today, so I go to Pansi Cave and listen to music.

The beautiful lady plays the flute.

……

As the saying goes: "Time breeds love", the relationship between the two demons, King Jinjiao and the Fairy Pansi, grew deeper as they spent time together in the Pansi Cave.

A few days later.

Xiao Chen knew very well that he could not indulge in the gentle paradise of Pansi Cave forever, as he had more important responsibilities to shoulder.

then.

He resolutely left Pansi Cave and set out on the journey back to Xuanjin Mountain.

Xuanjin Mountain is his foothold in Uttarakuru and the result of his many years of hard work in Uttarakuru.

It's impossible for him to just walk away from such a huge family business and leave it alone.

One day in heaven and one year on earth.

If he really went to heaven, no one knows when he will come back.

He must explain and arrange the matters concerning Xuanjin Mountain.
