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

Chapter 369: Little Thief Halloween Dragon Girl
Today is the day that King Golden Horn and Princess Halloween agreed upon.

In the early morning, the dawn light spreads over the earth like thin threads, quietly dispelling the night and covering the new day with a layer of soft golden glow.

The sky gradually turned pale.

The 3,000-mile Qinyuan Mountains appear even more majestic under the morning light, with mountains and peaks overlapping each other, like a magnificent landscape painting.

Pingfeng Mountain, this beautiful peak standing in the Qinyuan Mountains, is also bathed in the morning light at this moment, looking particularly mysterious and quiet.

Pansi Cave.

The Pansi Courtyard is quiet and elegant, like a paradise, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the outside world. The hibiscus tree stands tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves, guarding a rare tranquility and harmony for this small world.

at this time.

In the Pansi courtyard, under the hibiscus tree.

The fairy music is floating in the air and the tunes are melodious.

The flute music was like the sound of nature, which made people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

Xiao Chen sat there, closed his eyes and concentrated.

Following the ups and downs of the flute music, she felt like a fairy.

"Woooooooo..."

The sound of the flute was as gentle as water and extremely delicate, as if it could penetrate the softest part of people's hearts.

Music is the language of the soul. The soul expresses its profound joy and sorrow through sound, finds comfort in the expression, and transcends natural emotions.

Therefore, music is one of the most expressive art forms.

Xiao Chen listened to the music quietly, feeling the deep affection conveyed by the immortal Pansi through the sound of the flute.

Under the baptism of the flute sound, the indestructible body of the Golden Horn King seemed to be melted by a warm force and no longer so hard and cold.

At this moment.

All the worries and sorrows are gone with the wind.

Only a clear mind like a mirror remains.

The three thousand black hair of the immortal Pansi moved slightly, fluttering in the wind, like a moving painting.

"Woooooooo..."

This Pansi Immortal, this peerless beauty, is playing the last song for Xiao Chen with her superb skills.

The beautiful sound of the flute expresses the meaning of parting.

The name of this flute piece is "The Sorrow of the Separated Person" and it is the painstaking work created by the immortal Pansi.

In her interpretation of the flute piece "Sorrow of Separation", there is both the sorrow of parting surging like a tide and the sweetness of longing lingering like a silk thread. The two emotions are intertwined together, making the flute sound even more touching.

Every note seemed to contain endless affection and reluctance for Xiao Chen.

The sound of the flute is sometimes low and gentle, like a complaint or a cry; sometimes it is high and passionate, as if expressing the inner struggle and reluctance.

It makes people feel deeply moved and unable to extricate themselves from the listening.

Since ancient times, sentimentality has always been sad about separation...

Xiao Chen was also a little sad for a moment.

After a long time.

The music ends.

The sound of the flute gradually disappeared into the air.

The end of the song means people are leaving.

"Hey……"

The immortal Pansi sighed softly, slowly put away the flute, a trace of reluctance and attachment flashed in his eyes.

The look she gave Xiao Chen was filled with affection and anticipation, as if she had thousands of words to say.

"Jinjiao, after this song, I don't know when we will meet again."

The voice of Pansi Daxian was slightly choked with sobs and tears were glistening in her eyes.

"Zi Jiao, I have to go."

Xiao Chen stood up slowly, his face calm and expression unusually calm.

Xiao Chen looked at Pansi Daxian and said firmly:

"wait me back."

"Tell Qingjiao that I will heal your injuries."

At this moment.

The face of Pansi Daxian was as red as a peach. Her long black hair was a little messy, swaying gently in the morning breeze, like a moving painting.

Her eyes were sparkling, full of affection and expectation, as if they could draw people's souls in.

The originally scarlet lips of Pansi Daxian now looked a little pale...

But it added a bit of touching charm, making her look extremely charming.

Pansi Daxian licked his lips and said softly:
"Jinjiao, I'll wait for you."

"No matter how long it takes, I will be here waiting for you to come back."

"Well, woman, take care of yourself."

Xiao Chen nodded slightly and tidied his clothes.

Stand up straight.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen waved his hand, took a step forward, and walked out of the Pansi Cave with big strides without looking back.

Only a firm and resolute back was left behind.

Gradually fading away in the morning light.

……

In the Pansi Cave.

Under the hibiscus tree, the sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves and falls on Zijiao's body in patches.

Zi Jiao stood there in a daze, her eyes fixed on Xiao Chen's departing back, her eyes filled with attachment and reluctance.

Her eyes followed him closely until his figure completely disappeared from her sight...

Inside the body of Pansi Daxian.

Qing Jiao's voice broke the silence. She looked at Zi Jiao's obsessed look and couldn't help but sneered:

"Zi Jiao, do you really believe that he will come back to save you?"

"Humph, men are unreliable."

"Their promises are often just empty words that will be blown away by the wind."

Upon hearing this, Zijiao slowly withdrew her gaze and looked at Qingjiao.

There was no wavering in her eyes; instead, there was a firmness that was almost obsessive.

Zijiao's voice was clear and firm, like a spring in the mountains, leaving no room for doubt:
"Sister, he will."

"My crush is a hero..."

"Since he promised me, he will definitely do it."

"Whether in his past life or this life, he has always been an extraordinary person, there is no doubt about that!"

……

Qinyuan Mountains, Yaoling Market.

Inside Silizhai, there is a secret room hidden deep inside.

The room was dimly lit with only a few faint candlelights flickering, outlining the mysterious figure of Princess Halloween.

Princess Halloween wore a dark black cloak with the edges of the cloak hanging gently like the night sky, completely covering most of her face and the pair of "little dragon horns as delicate as blue coral" on her forehead.

Under this dim light and shadow, only a pair of eyes sparkling with cunning light were revealed. The eyes contained wit and intelligence, as well as a wildness and stubbornness that refused to admit defeat.

Princess Halloween did not wear a traditional dress, but a tight warrior costume.

This warrior suit was tailor-made for her, as if it was made for her. It fits tightly to the Halloween Dragon Girl's beautiful figure with big hips, thin waist, and curvy figure, outlining her curves to the fullest, showing a different kind of charm.

The texture of the samurai uniform is tough and elastic, allowing her to move freely, as agile as a rabbit, without any sense of restraint, whether stretching or jumping.

This outfit will undoubtedly make her more comfortable in the upcoming operation.

On her back she carried a sword that shone with a cold light. The scabbard of the sword was carved with complex patterns, revealing an extraordinary aura.

Around her waist, the Halloween Dragon Girl also hung some bottles and jars of various shapes, some big, some small, some round, some flat. No one knew what was inside, which added a bit of mystery and weirdness.

At first glance, the Halloween Dragon Girl's outfit does look like she's about to steal.

……

There was a "crunch".

The door of the secret room was slowly pushed open, and Xiao Chen walked in.

His eyes then fell on the figure in the corner of the secret room, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

The figure stood in a corner of the secret room, wearing a tight warrior outfit, which was completely different from his usual attire.

This...at first glance.

He really didn't recognize her as Princess Halloween. He just thought she was an uninvited guest or a female thief who sneaked into the secret room.

"Ao Yao, why are you dressed like this?"

Xiao Chen asked in surprise.

Xiao Chen glanced at the Halloween Princess.

The previous Halloween princesses always wore flowing skirts that did not show off their figure, giving people a gentle and pretty feeling.

But now, the Halloween Princess suddenly changed into a tight warrior outfit, her figure was immediately visible, her curves were exquisite, and she looked heroic, completely different from the past.

Xiao Chen secretly sighed in his heart, Princess Halloween is more than a thousand years older than him, her age is not in vain.

He had always thought that she was the "Little Dragon Girl" of All Halloween, but now he realized that he, the King of Golden Horn, had made a mistake, and in fact, she had already been the "Big Dragon Girl" of All Halloween.

This Halloween Dragon Girl is truly "a small branch bearing great fruit".

She has "thunder", but she hides it...

"We are going to steal, so of course we are dressed like this."

Princess Wansheng said as if it was a matter of course. Seeing Xiao Chen's confusion, Princess Wansheng smiled and explained:

"This cloak of mine can conceal my face and allow me to act more secretly..."

"My samurai uniform allows me to move more freely. As for the sword, it will come in handy in close combat..."

As she spoke, she gently fiddled with the cloak and samurai uniform in her hands, looking quite proud of herself.

"What about all these bottles and jars you brought?"

Xiao Chen's eyes fell on the row of bottles and jars hanging on her waist and he asked curiously.

Princess Wansheng smiled slightly when she heard this, a sly look flashed in her eyes, and she said:

"I know that my martial arts are not as strong as those of the heavenly soldiers and generals, so I specially prepared a lot of secret medicines in case of emergency."

As she spoke, she reached out and picked up a small bottle, shook it gently, and a clear sound of liquid sloshing came from inside:
"Some of these are poisons to deal with those difficult enemies; some are drugs that can help us escape at the critical moment."

"And there's that spring... Anyway, we have everything prepared."

Having said this, Princess Halloween suddenly realized something, her face turned slightly red, and her voice stopped abruptly.

Princess Halloween quickly took back the words and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen understood what was going on. He smiled and shook his head, not asking any more questions.

This Halloween Dragon Girl is a little smart, but not much.

Xiao Chen changed the subject, pointed at Princess Wan Sheng's outfit, and said with a smile:
"This……"

"Ao Yao, look at the way you are dressed. Aren't you trying to cover up your mistake by telling others that we are going to be thieves?"

Xiao Chen held his forehead with his hand and continued:

"Have you not heard the truth that 'the darkest place is under the lamp'?"

"If we want to be thieves, the first thing we have to do is to hide our identities and not let others see our flaws."

Xiao Chen shook his head and said helplessly:

"You are dressed like this, with all these bottles and jars, isn't it obvious to others that there is something wrong with us?"

"Are we going to do something unusual?"

"It's almost like having 'I'm going to do something bad' written on my body."

"How can this be possible?"

"This……"

Princess Halloween was also a smart woman. She understood everything immediately. She felt cold when she heard the words, but then she understood.

She had only thought about how to equip herself to deal with the various difficulties she might encounter, but ignored the most important thing: concealment.

Princess Wansheng looked at Xiao Chen with a flash of admiration in her eyes, and couldn't help but sigh:
"King Jinjiao, you are really thoughtful. I was so busy preparing these that I forgot the most important hidden identity."

Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head, saying:

"It's okay. With me here, we will definitely be able to come up with a foolproof plan."

"However, your preparations are not useless. They may come in handy at a critical moment."

At this moment, Princess Halloween suddenly moved close to Xiao Chen, her nose almost touching the collar of Xiao Chen's clothes, and she gently sniffed the scent on his body.

Then, she raised her head in surprise, looked at Xiao Chen and said:
"King Jinjiao, did you eat any seafood this morning?"

Xiao Chen was stunned when he heard this, and asked curiously:

"Ao Yao, why are you saying that? Do I smell like seafood?"

He subconsciously sniffed his sleeves, but smelled nothing, and couldn't help feeling a little confused.

Princess Wansheng wrinkled her nose, with a look of disgust and curiosity on her face, and said:
"Why do you have such a strange fishy smell..."

"I've never smelled this smell before. It's so strange."

"This……"

Xiao Chen paused when he heard this, feeling a little embarrassed.

Xiao Chen muttered to himself, could this fishy smell come from... He immediately thought of a previous scene, and he suddenly understood.

It seems that the fishy smell did come from him, but he himself did not notice it.

However, is the dragon clan's sense of smell so sensitive?
“Yes, I had some seafood.”

Xiao Chen simply followed Princess Halloween's words and tried to change the subject.

However, Princess Halloween was obviously curious about the strange seafood taste.

Heard seafood.

She licked her lips subconsciously, her beautiful dragon eyes sparkling, and she spoke:

"The taste of your seafood is a bit strange. I have never eaten it before."

"Where is the seafood from? Is it delicious?"

As a member of the dragon clan, she has a natural love for all kinds of seafood and is full of curiosity about unknown delicacies.

"This……"

Xiao Chen felt a little helpless. He didn't expect Princess Halloween to be so interested in this topic.

"Ao Yao, I'll treat you to a seafood meal later. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"That's the end of the matter. Don't ask any more questions."

Xiao Chen quickly tried to smooth things over and stopped her from asking further questions.

Princess Wansheng heard this, although she still had a little curiosity about the strange seafood taste, but seeing that Xiao Chen was unwilling to say more, she nodded tactfully to show her agreement:
"Yes, I took note of it."

She went on to add:
"King Jinjiao, please don't break your promise."

Subsequently.

Xiao Chen's eyes fell on Princess Wansheng's tight warrior outfit again, his brows furrowed, and he said in a serious tone:
"Ao Yao, there are many people outside, so we must be careful and cautious on this trip."

“Don’t draw attention.”

"Especially after leaving Northern Julu Continent, there are countless spies from Heaven in Southern Jambudvīpa, Eastern Shengshen Continent, and Western Niuhe Continent."

"Don't let the mountain gods, land gods, water gods... see you."

Princess Halloween heard this and realized the seriousness of the problem. She looked down at her outfit and found it was indeed too conspicuous and not suitable for stealth.

So, she looked up at Xiao Chen, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and she said softly:
"Then what should I do?"

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and said:
"You're dressed like you're going to do something bad. It's easy for someone to target you."

"I think I should get you a few more sets of ordinary clothes. This will save you some unnecessary trouble."

"Once you put it on and cover it up a little, it shouldn't be so noticeable."

Princess Wansheng did not reject Xiao Chen's proposal. She nodded slightly and said softly:
"Then I'll have to trouble King Jinjiao."

"My outfit is indeed not suitable for the current situation."

For gods and monsters, although they can use magic to change into clothes, the things transformed by magic do not last long.

And in the eyes of some demons and monsters who can see through magic.

You are wearing clothes that are transformed by magic, and people can see through your magic.

It's the same whether you wear it or not.

It's absolutely naked.

How embarrassing.

Therefore, even if they are gods or monsters, they still have to wear physical clothes.

On this trip, Princess Halloween did not have any magic weapon for space storage, she only wore this tight warrior uniform.

"What size clothes does this Halloween Dragon Girl wear..."

Xiao Chen glanced at Princess Halloween again, his gaze lingering on her for a moment, and he already had a general understanding of her figure in his mind.

After all, as the King of the Golden Horn, he had come into contact with many female fairies, experienced countless ups and downs, and was naturally understanding.

At this moment.

Xiao Chen only took a quick glance and he had an accurate estimate of the size of clothes Princess Halloween wore.

The height of this Halloween Dragon Girl is similar to that of the Flower Fairy, but in some aspects of her body, she may be slightly bigger than the Flower Fairy.

This Halloween Dragon Girl looks more plump.

It adds a touch of maturity.

After all, Princess Halloween is over a thousand years old, maybe even two thousand years old.

The Flower Fairy is only about a hundred years old.

Comparing the two, Princess Halloween developed more than a thousand years longer than the Flower Fairy and experienced a thousand years more.

The accumulation of more than a thousand years is clearly laid out here.

"Ao Yao, please don't walk around."

"I have a guest room in the back hall. No one has ever stayed there. Please go there and wait."

After Xiao Chen gave Princess Wansheng a brief instruction, he turned around and strode back to the Golden Horn Palace, leaving Princess Wansheng standing there alone, staring at his back in a daze.

Princess Halloween looked at Xiao Chen's departing back and couldn't help feeling a little surprised and confused.

"This Golden Horned King..."

Princess Wan Halloween muttered to herself:

"You don't know what size clothes I wear?"

"Don't you even ask me?"

"Why are you so confident in preparing new clothes?"

However, as a girl, Princess Halloween naturally has her own modesty and shyness. How could she take the initiative to tell a man her clothing size?
She could only bite her lower lip lightly, wanting to say something but stopping herself, watching Xiao Chen's figure gradually disappear from her sight, feeling both nervous and expectant.

At last.

Under the careful guidance of a maid, Princess Wansheng came to the guest room in the back hall of Silizhai.

The guest room was decorated simply and elegantly, and the bedding on the bed was soft and comfortable, making her feel a little tired after running around for many days.

Princess Halloween took a nap on the bed in the guest room, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.

Waiting for the arrival of King Golden Horn.
