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

Chapter 366: The Old Turtle Spirit Who Sends Wealth

Xuanjin Mountain.

Golden Horn Palace.

At dawn, a faint morning light appeared on the horizon, marking the beginning of a new day.

In the bedroom, the curtains hang gently, like the softest veil in the morning light, swaying gently in the wind, covering the charming and warm scenery in the room.

The candlelight swayed gently in the breeze, and the mottled light and shadows fell on the ground, adding a warm and ambiguous atmosphere to this private space.

On the king's couch.

Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes, his robe fluttering gently with his movements, making a slight rustling sound.

He was preparing to go to court.

at this time.

Baihua Fairy also woke up. She snuggled up to Xiao Chen, her silky arms gently around Xiao Chen's waist, not wanting him to leave.

The Flower Fairy tried to persuade him to stay with her in a gentle voice:
"My king, it's still early, why not take a rest for a while."

"Let me serve the king once more."

"It will also allow the king to attend court in a 'refreshed state'."

Her voice was like a spring breeze, gentle and lingering, with a sense of temptation and retention that was hard to refuse.

Xiao Chen turned his head and looked at the Fairy of Flowers, his eyes falling on her beautiful face.

The flickering candlelight made her beauty even more breathtaking, like a beautiful painting.

Last night, Xiao Chen felt quite sympathetic towards Baihua Fairy.

Xiao Chen did not act hastily, but treated him gently.

At this moment, the Flower Fairy was like a flower that had just been watered by rain and dew. Her eyes and brows seemed to be tinged with the tenderness of moisture, making her even more delicate and charming, making people feel pity for her.

The faint body fragrance from her body continued to emanate, forming an indescribable charming fragrance that made people feel relaxed and happy and irresistible.

This situation and scene is exactly: "The maid helped her up weakly, and it was the beginning of her new grace."

however.

Xiao Chen gently pushed Baihuaxian away, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness, and said:
"You should have a good rest first."

"The King has important matters to attend to today."

Xiao Chen did not covet the gentle embrace of the Fairy of Flowers. Although the Fairy of Flowers tried to keep him with her beautiful smile and graceful figure, Xiao Chen still resolutely withdrew.

If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight!
Xiao Chen knew very well that as the demon king, he had a heavy responsibility and must not neglect his official duties because of his own selfish desires.

"The hibiscus tent is warm for the spring night, and from now on the king will no longer hold court early in the morning." This ancient saying flashed through Xiao Chen's mind.

Xiao Chen was alert in his heart, this was the behavior of a tyrant!
His foundation is not yet stable, so he cannot be so presumptuous. He needs to be cautious in every step and not slack off in the slightest.

After hearing this, Baihua Fairy's eyes flashed with reluctance, but she also understood the position and responsibilities of King Jinjiao.

"Then I will help the king get dressed."

She nodded gently, with tenderness and respect in her eyes, and stood up to dress Xiao Chen.

Her fingers deftly moved between the lapels, tidying up Xiao Chen's clothes. Every movement was full of affection and attachment, as if she wanted to incorporate all her reluctance into this delicate service.

"Let's go. I'll come back and have dinner with you after I leave the court."

Xiao Chen straightened his clothes and hat, looking solemn and determined, and strode towards the Golden Horn Hall.

Inside the Xuanjin Palace, the monsters had been waiting for a long time.

When Xiao Chen appeared at the entrance of the hall, all eyes were cast on him.

The entire hall was silent; even the sound of breathing seemed to become faint, as if the whole world had stopped at this moment.

All that was left was the awe and expectation of the monsters towards Xiao Chen.

"Meet the king!"

"Meet the king!"

"My child pays homage to his father!"

……

The monsters all stood up, and the sounds of greeting came like a surging tide.

Amid the roars of the monsters, Xiao Chen took steady steps and ascended to the throne of the Monster King, which symbolized supreme power.

Xiao Chen's eyes were as sharp as torches as he scanned every corner of the hall, taking in all the monsters under his command.

It is:

"When drunk, I lie on the lap of a beauty, and when awake, I hold the power of the demon king."

The dignity of the unrivaled demon king is like this.

Xuanjin Cave Mansion.

Within the main hall.

Gou Tianba, Leopard Vanguard, Water Hyacinth Spirit and other demon generals had already stood on both sides of the hall. They had different expressions, some were solemnly thinking, some were looking around curiously, all waiting for Yuan Tong's arrival.

"Da da da!"

Soon, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded like war drums, breaking the silence of the hall.

The long-armed ape Yuan Tong hurriedly walked into the Xuanjin Hall. There was a hint of urgency and surprise on his face, as if he had just escaped from a thrilling battle.

Yuan Tong was dragging a huge corpse, which was obviously the "harvest" of his trip.

The huge corpse was covered in blood and exuded a strong demonic aura, as if it had been an extremely powerful monster in its lifetime, which made people look at it sideways.

"Report, Your Majesty!"

"Yuan Tong has returned!"

Yuan Tong's voice was loud and powerful, resounding throughout the hall like thunder, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

Yuan Tong dragged the huge corpse and walked into the Xuanjin Hall step by step, obviously showing his achievements and loyalty.

Xiao Chen was sitting on the throne, he looked up upon hearing that, he saw Yuan Tong covered in dust and blood, but his eyes were shining with a heroic light that could not hide his bravery.

The gibbon macaques are a warlike race. They become stronger when facing a stronger opponent and are competitive and belligerent. Yuan Tong is naturally a complete fighting maniac, with the passion for fighting flowing in his body.

The huge corpse dragged by Yuan Tong exuded a strong evil aura, which was mixed with the smell of sea and death. It was obviously not an ordinary thing.

Xiao Chen said in a deep voice:
"Yuan Tong, did you find anything on this trip? What is the origin of that unknown force?"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tong immediately stepped forward and bowed respectfully, saying:

"Your Majesty, I have found out the origin of that unknown force."

"They are a group of wild monsters from the North Sea, led by an old turtle spirit."

"They wandered here, coveting the magnificence and beauty of Xuanjin Mountain, intending to occupy a place in Xuanjin Mountain as their nest."

At this point, Yuan Tong's tone revealed a hint of disdain:
"However, the old turtle spirit is stubborn and unwilling to surrender."

"He thinks he has some ability and wants to compete with our Xuanjin Cave Mansion. It's really wishful thinking."

"I have killed him as the king ordered, and I have brought his body to the king."

Yuan Tong pointed to the corpse behind him, his tone full of pride:

"To prove my subordinates' achievements!"

"only……"

However, when he said this, Yuan Tong paused, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, this strange emotion formed a sharp contrast with his disdain:
"This old turtle spirit is a bit strange."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and motioned Yuan Tong to continue.

"After I beheaded him, I searched his body and found that his stomach was filled with gold, silver and jewelry."

As Yuan Tong spoke, he dragged the old turtle spirit's corpse forward so that Xiao Chen and the demon generals could see it clearly.

He opened the belly of the old turtle spirit and saw that it was filled with glittering treasures, including gold nuggets, luminous pearls, pearls, gems... It was so dazzling that it looked like a small mountain.

The golden and silver light flickered in the hall, so dazzling that people could not open their eyes.

For a while.

There was a gleam of greed and envy in the eyes of the monsters, as if they were dazzled by the brilliance of these treasures.

Such a large amount of gold, silver and treasures is undoubtedly a huge fortune.

"Hahahaha, father."

When the water hyacinth spirit saw what happened to the giant turtle spirit of the North Sea, he was overjoyed.

The water hyacinth spirit lifted up its gourd-patterned robe, revealing its round belly. It stretched out its chubby little hands, patted its belly, and laughed heartily:

"This old turtle has so much gold and silver in his stomach, but he is like a miser and is reluctant to spend it."

"He came all the way from Beihai and gave it to us."

"It's really a 'giveaway turtle'."

"Hey hey hey!"

After saying this, the water hyacinth spirit let out another clear laugh, which looked both cute and funny.

The water hyacinth spirit's words caused the other monsters to burst into laughter.

"Yes, such a good fortune-giving turtle, I should get a few more!"

A deer demon shouted with a smile.

This attracted many demons to agree:

"The turtle spirit brings wealth, the more the better!"

"These must be treasures from the sea."

The other fish demon said, his eyes flashing with greed, staring at the pile of gold and silver treasures.

……

The demons all echoed, feeling delighted by the sudden wealth. Xiao Chen couldn't help but smile, looking at the pile of gold and silver treasures, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes.

This old turtle spirit is quite interesting. He took with him such a pile of treasures before he died. It really proves the old saying "People die for money and birds die for food."

"What a big belly."

"What a belly full of gold and silver treasures."

"It seems that he is a 'gold-greedy turtle' who likes to collect gold, silver and jewelry."

"As greedy as this king."

Xiao Chen couldn't help but chuckle.

There was a hint of teasing and joking in his words, which instantly made the atmosphere in the hall relaxed.

"Hahaha!"

……

When the demons heard this, they all burst into laughter, and some of them even laughed so hard that they fell backwards.

And Yuan Tong also showed a proud smile in this relaxed atmosphere.

"Yuan Tong, you did a great job."

Xiao Chen nodded approvingly, his tone full of affirmation for Yuan Tong:

"These gold, silver and jewels will be distributed among you as a reward for your meritorious service."

Then, Xiao Chen changed the subject and looked at the huge corpse of the old turtle spirit, and said with a smile:

"Since this old turtle has a good stomach that can accommodate a lot of things, let's not waste it."

"Then cut out the belly of this old turtle spirit, send it to the Qinyuan Mountains, and give it to the Great Immortal Huli, and ask him to refine a few space storage magic weapons."

"Make some 'turtle belly bags'."

"Space magic weapons are rare, and I'm sure they will be of great use."

Having said that, Xiao Chen looked at Yuan Tong and said with a smile:

"Yuan Tong, after this 'turtle belly bag' is refined, you can take one as a special reward for your contribution this time."

"In addition, I will give you another magical weapon as a reward. You can go to the warehouse of Silizhai to choose one."

Upon hearing this, all the demon generals cast envious glances at Yuan Tong.

Space magic weapon is an extremely rare treasure. It is undoubtedly a great fortune to be able to obtain one.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tong was overjoyed and immediately knelt down to thank him:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

"I will do my best to serve you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Chen waved his hand, signaling Yuan Tong to stand up, and then asked:

"As for the rest of the old turtle spirit's followers, have you dealt with them?"

Yuan Tong knelt on one knee respectfully, clasped his hands together, and replied:
"Don't worry, my king. I have killed all the turtle spirits who led them."

"I have driven away those little demons. I don't think they will dare to cause trouble in Xuanjin Mountain again."

"I have destroyed their lair, leaving them with nowhere to hide. I have also warned them that if they dare to attack again, they will be severely punished."

Xiao Chen heard this, nodded, waved his hand and said:
"Okay, you can leave now."

"Continue to remain vigilant and do not let your guard down."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yuan Tong saluted, turned around and retreated into the formation, standing side by side with the other demon generals.

"Your Majesty, this giant turtle of the North Sea must be the descendant of the black turtle of the North Sea that Nuwa left behind when she repaired the sky."

At this time, Gou Tianba stood up. He was a monster born and raised in Beijuluzhou and was quite familiar with the history of some monsters in the North Sea and Beijuluzhou.

Gou Tianba explained:

"It is said that the North Sea Black Turtle is huge, extremely powerful, and has a very large belly."

"The Black Turtle of the North Sea once mated with many aquatic creatures and gave birth to many descendants of the Scaled Clan."

"Therefore, the North Sea Black Turtle is the ancestor of all turtles and old turtles in the world."

"And this giant turtle of the North Sea is one of the many descendants of the Black Turtle of the North Sea."

"It inherited the powerful bloodline of the North Sea Black Turtle, and also possesses the characteristics of a large belly, strong limbs, and innate supernatural power."

"Moreover, it is said that this giant turtle of the North Sea was born from the union of a black turtle of the North Sea and a female clam, so it also inherited some characteristics of the clam family."

At this point, Gou Tianba smiled mysteriously, revealing an expression that said, "You know, my lord," and said with great joy:

"My lord, these clams have a habit of holding pearls in their mouths."

"The clam tribe cannot live without pearls, and there is a common saying that 'the jade clam contains pearls'."

"Although this giant turtle of the North Sea has the blood of the clam family, it is not a true clam family after all, and cannot produce pearls on its own."

"The giant turtles of the North Sea have never had any pearls to swallow, so they have developed a quirk. They like to collect some gold, silver and jewels in their stomachs and hide them as their own treasures. This is called 'giant turtle treasure hiding'."

At this point, Gou Tianba pointed to the pile of gold and silver treasures in the center of the hall and said with a smile:

"These gold and silver treasures must be the gold, silver and jewelry collected by this giant turtle in the North Sea over the years."

"Ah."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with deep thought and alertness.

The appearance of this giant turtle spirit from the North Sea also sounded a wake-up call for him.

Uttarakuru, this vast, complex and ever-changing land, is home to many hidden talents. It is by no means a good place to be, but rather is shrouded in countless unknown dangers.

The terrain of Uttarakuru is ever-changing, the mountains are steep and difficult to navigate, the rivers are swift as arrows, and all kinds of monsters are lurking there, making it extremely dangerous.

There are also ferocious beasts rampaging around, they are huge in size and have amazing strength. When these ferocious beasts go crazy, they have no reason at all, often causing disasters to the locals, making it difficult for people to guard against them.

The existence of these ferocious beasts undoubtedly added a bit of terror and anxiety to Uttarakuru.

The 900-li Xuanjin Mountain, a treasure land with abundant spiritual energy and rich resources, is a hot spot in the eyes of the monsters and will attract the covetousness of other wild monsters.

Xiao Chen knew very well that as long as he was in Xuanjin Mountain, he would not be afraid of any wild monsters attacking.

But if he was not in Xuanjin Mountain, with the help of Yuan Tong, Gou Tianba, Water Hyacinth Spirit, Leopard Vanguard and other demon generals, although he could deal with some ordinary monsters, but if he encountered a real strong enemy, he would seem to be powerless.

……

Xuanjin Cave Mansion.

After the next court.

Thinking of this old turtle spirit that suddenly appeared.

Xiao Chen was still a little worried.

This was not because he was suspicious or worried, but because he had the caution and foresight required as a demon king.

To be on the safe side, he decided to send another demon general to investigate the matter in depth to ensure that there was no mistake.

Xiao Chen's gaze slowly swept across the demon generals in the hall. Each demon general had his own unique characteristics, but in the end his gaze naturally fell on Gou Tianba.

This monster, who was born and raised in Uttarakuru, knows everything about this place.

Moreover, the Tengu clan, to which Gou Tianba belonged, were ferocious and fierce in temperament, as fast as flying stars, and their hunting skills were unparalleled in the world.

Tengu are renowned for their hunting and tracking abilities, making them the best candidates for tracking and scouting.

This is similar to Yang Jian and Xiaotian Dog.

Yang Jian is the god of war in heaven. He is very powerful and has rarely been defeated since his debut.

But when it comes to finding things and people, Yang Jian is no match for his dog, Xiaotian Dog.

Among the demon race, each has its own strengths.

As the demon king, Xiao Chen knew very well that he needed to understand the demon and make good use of it.

Following trails and searching for things is not the strong point of his toad clan.

In this regard, Xiao Chen knew very well that as a toad demon king, he could definitely not compare to the dog king Tiangou.

"Gou Tianba, come here."

So, Xiao Chen dismissed all the demon generals, called Gou Tianba alone, and ordered him seriously:
"Your Tengu clan is fierce and sturdy. Light is the flying star. You are very good at hunting and are famous for hunting and tracking."

"I order you to check again to see if there are any remnants lurking behind this giant turtle spirit from the North Sea?"

"This matter is of great importance, we must investigate it thoroughly and make no mistakes!"

Upon hearing this, Gou Tianba immediately bowed and accepted the order, his eyes flashing with determination, and his voice was sonorous and powerful:

"Don't worry, my king. I, Gou Tianba, will do my best to get to the bottom of this matter!"

Say it.

Gou Tianba's body shook violently, and the demonic energy in his body surged like a tide, and his true form was revealed in an instant.

Its true form is actually a Tengu with a white raccoon cat head and three wide white stripes on its head, like the stripes of a king, highlighting its dignity and extraordinaryness.

His pupils were as red as burning balls, with a fierce and deep light, as if he could see through all the fears and darkness in the world.

The sharp teeth hidden behind the lips, the cold light shining, make people's heart flutter.

His whole body is covered with red hair, which looks like blazing flames and dances in the wind. His four legs are strong and powerful, and his steps seem to shatter mountains and rivers, and the ground shakes slightly.

What a vicious dog!
The Tengu let out a soft "meow" and jumped like lightning to the bloodstain left by the giant turtle spirit of the North Sea.

The Heavenly Dog lowered its head and sniffed the remaining breath, then picked up a piece of the old turtle's flesh and blood. With a flash of its body, it turned into a stream of red light and instantly disappeared into the Xuanjin Cave.

The speed of Tiangou was as fast as a gust of wind and lightning, and its afterglow illuminated the sky, just like a meteor that streaked across the sky, leaving only a brilliant trail.

It is exactly: "It is as fast as the wind and as fast as lightning, and its remaining light illuminates the sky like a meteor."

What a good hunter!

Xiao Chen looked at the direction where the Tengu disappeared, thinking about something.
