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

Chapter 370 Nantianmen Plan

Qinyuan Mountains.

After Xiao Chen returned to the Golden Horn Palace, he immediately summoned the Flower Fairy.

He opened his mouth and ordered:

"Flower Fairy, bring me some of your new clothes."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

When the Flower Fairy heard this, she was surprised and didn't know why the king suddenly wanted women's clothes, but she still did as he said and was about to leave to get the clothes.

At this moment, Xiao Chen seemed to remember something and said:
"Well...Baihuaxian, you should choose a slightly looser style, not too tight."

"Anyway, I need bigger clothes."

“The bigger, the better.”

Baihuaxian was even more confused when she heard this. She looked down at herself and thought to herself:

"Want something bigger?"

You know, she is not young anymore.

Bigger...how big would it be?

Is it bigger than a big grapefruit?

That's too exaggerated.

Although Baihua Fairy was curious, she guessed that the king wanted to give it to a woman with a special figure, or maybe it had some special purpose?
But the Flower Fairy did not ask any further questions and just quietly did her job.

The Fairy of Flowers walked quickly to the storeroom, and with a few maids, she selected more than a dozen new clothes of novel style and high quality from the dazzling array of clothes.

Some of these clothes are made of light gauze, dancing like fairies floating in the clouds; some are extremely sexy, cut to perfection, showing their softness and interest; and some are embroidered and magnificent, showing their luxury.

"My lord, I have brought them all here. Please have a look."

The Fairy of Flowers brought these carefully selected clothes to Xiao Chen, waiting for the king's next instructions.

"it is good."

Xiao Chen naturally believed in the judgment of the Fairy of Flowers and did not look at it any further.

He just casually glanced at the pile of new clothes, and then put them all into his Ruyi treasure bag.

This Ruyi Treasure Bag is made from the stomach of a green lion. It is a magical space storage magic weapon that can hold many items without feeling heavy at all.

After packing his clothes, Xiao Chen looked at the Flower Fairy.

He walked up to her gently, kissed her, and said:

"Wait until the king comes back."

After saying that, Xiao Chen's figure flashed and turned into a golden light. He left in an instant and returned to Silizhai.

……

Silizhai, in the guest room in the back hall.

Princess Halloween was quietly waiting for Xiao Chen's return.

Xiao Chen came to the guest room, casually threw the Ruyi Treasure Bag to Princess Wansheng, and said:

"Ao Yao, this treasure is called 'Ruyi Treasure Storage Bag'. It is a magical storage weapon with infinite space inside. It can hold everything. It can hold a mountain... without looking heavy."

"The clothes I prepared for you are all in there."

"See if it fits you."

Women are born with an irresistible love for bags, and this dragon girl is no exception.

This Ruyi treasure storage bag is gorgeous and compact, and can hold everything. It is truly the top-notch "bag" in this world.

When Princess Halloween heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She stretched out her delicate and slender hands and gently took the "Ruyi Treasure Bag" handed to her by Xiao Chen.

She didn't look at the clothes first, but instead looked at the Ruyi treasure bag itself.

Her fingers rubbed the Ruyi Treasure Bag carefully, and she seemed reluctant to let it go.

The delicate touch, the gorgeous appearance, and especially the storage function, all made her happy.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen immediately understood her thoughts. He waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Ao Yao, take this Ruyi treasure bag and use it first."

"Put your weapons, poisons, and drugs in there so that you don't get too much of a chore when you travel."

“It’s not beautiful.”

"King of the Golden Horn..."

"This, this is so embarrassing."

Princess Halloween said this.

But Princess Halloween's body was very honest. She took the Ruyi treasure bag and hung it around her waist naturally.

"Okay, I'm out."

"Now that you've changed your clothes, we'll set off and go to the Chitie Mountains first to discuss something with the Bull Demon King."

Xiao Chen said to Princess Halloween with a smile, then turned and walked out of the guest room, leaving Princess Halloween alone in the room.

This "stealing treasure from heaven" mission requires internal and external cooperation.

Both internal support and external assistance are indispensable.

In terms of foreign aid, the most suitable candidate is naturally the Bull Demon King.

"okay."

Princess Halloween nodded in agreement.

The monsters she trusted most in Uttarakuru were the Golden Horned King and the Bull Demon King.

It’s just that the Bull Demon King is now a “son of the moth” in the Iron-Cut Demon Saint family.

The Bull Demon King has a special identity, and many of his decisions have to take the interests of his family into consideration. He is cautious in his actions, cannot act easily, and has no freedom.

The King of the Golden Horn can make his own decisions without being bound by others.

Therefore, when Princess Halloween encountered difficulties, the first thing she thought of was to ask King Golden Horn for help.

Xiao Chen walked out of the guest room, leaving Princess Halloween alone in the room to try on clothes.

After a rustling sound, a slight noise was heard in the guest room. It was the sound of Princess Halloween trying on clothes.

She stood in the center of the room, with the Ruyi treasure bag in front of her, and all kinds of gorgeous clothes and accessories scattered around her.

Princess Halloween carefully selected, sometimes picking up a long dress embroidered with gold edges, sometimes touching a short shirt inlaid with gems...

Suddenly, her eyes were attracted by a unique piece of clothing.

It was a "spider silk gauze dress" lying quietly in a corner of the treasure bag. It seemed to carry a hint of mysterious magic, and it stood out among the many clothes.

This long skirt is carefully woven from the silk of seven spider spirits. It is as light as mist and seems to melt at the touch of a finger, emitting a faint luster.

Princess Halloween gently picked up the long skirt, feeling its silky smooth touch.

This gauze dress has a long-lasting light texture, is warm in winter and cool in summer, and can make people feel the most comfortable temperature no matter it is extremely cold or extremely hot.

She couldn't help but admire Xiao Chen's intentions. Such a precious garment was truly extraordinary.

However, when Princess Halloween actually opened the gauze dress and saw the style of the dress, her face couldn't help but blush.

The design of this nightgown is quite interesting and sexy. The slit of the skirt is very high, revealing a large area of ​​skin. It is exactly the style that the Flower Fairy wears when she sleeps with the emperor.

Princess Halloween looked at the "Spider Silk Gauze Dress" in her hand, glanced at it, blushed, and cursed inwardly:
"This... is a weird style..."

"So many slits and holes..."

"What kind of clothes does the Golden Horned King choose?"

She couldn't help but curse inwardly, and began to have some doubts about the purpose of the King of the Golden Horn.

Princess Halloween hurriedly stuffed the "spider silk gauze dress" into the "Ruyi Treasure Bag" for fear of being seen by others.

Her heart beat faster and her face became hot, as if she had done something shameful.

After all, the style of this long skirt was too exaggerated and unbelievable, which made it difficult for her to accept.

Subsequently.

Princess Halloween's eyes fell on a loose, plain, light blue dress.

This dress is simple and generous, without too much decoration and complicated design, but it reveals a fresh and refined temperament, which is more in line with her identity and temperament.

Shortly after.

There was a "crunch".

The door of the guest room was gently pushed open, and Princess Halloween walked out, fully dressed.

She felt the light blue dress that fitted her perfectly and couldn't help but feel surprised.

She didn't expect that the clothes chosen by the King of the Golden Horn seemed to be tailor-made for her and fit her figure so perfectly.

But thinking of the "spider silk gauze dress" just now, Princess Halloween felt a little embarrassed and angry.

She really didn't know what the Golden Horned King was thinking!

"Ao Yao, can you take back the pair of little dragon horns on your head?"

Xiao Chen's gaze fell on the pair of coral-like, crystal-clear little dragon horns on the head of the All-Hallows Dragon Girl Ao Yao, and his tone was filled with curiosity and inquiry.

Upon hearing this, Ao Yao, the Halloween Dragon Girl, frowned slightly, and a hint of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

She puffed out her chest proudly and said in a firm tone:
"Of course I can take it, but this dragon horn is the symbol of our dragon race, representing the purity of our bloodline."

"How can you hide it at will?"

"Then wouldn't that make me a wild dragon or a wild dragon spirit?"

Her tone was full of pride and it was obvious that she cherished her identity as a dragon very much.

The dragon clan has always attached great importance to bloodline. Dragon horns are not only the symbol of the dragon clan, but also the symbol of the dragon clan's glory.

The horn is there as long as the dragon is there; even if the dragon is not there, the horn must still be there!
When going out, the dragon horns are the dragon clan's face. Generally, dragons will proudly show them outside to show their noble status.

"Let's take it too, let's take it too."

"Your dragon horn is too annoying. You can tell at a glance that you are from the dragon clan..."

"We should keep a low profile."

Xiao Chen said helplessly.

After hearing what Xiao Chen said, although the Halloween Dragon Girl felt a little unwilling, she also knew that what Xiao Chen said made sense.

So she gritted her teeth, reached out her hand reluctantly and gently touched the pair of crystal clear little dragon horns on her forehead, as if saying her final goodbye to them.

"The corners are closed..."

Then the Halloween Dragon Girl chanted something and cast the dragon clan's unique spells.

As the spell was cast, the dragon horns gradually shrank and finally disappeared completely into her forehead, as if they had never existed.

At this time, Princess Ao Yao of All Saints was no different from any other woman, and there was no trace of the dragon clan left.

"Okay, that's good."

"let's go."

Seeing this, Xiao Chen nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

Subsequently.

Xiao Chen emitted golden light, while Princess Ao Yao of All Saints rode on the clouds. A demon and a dragon soared into the sky and flew towards the Chitie Mountains.

……

The "Xuan Huang Jing" says: There is a beast in the south named "Chi Tie". Its feces are as sharp as steel. It eats iron and drinks water, but there is not the slightest damage in its intestines. It is truly a strange beast in heaven and earth.

The "Shenyijing" says: "The shape of the "Chitie" is very similar to that of a buffalo, but its horns are huge and its fur is as black as ink."

"Shitie" feeds on iron alone, whether it is hard iron ore or sharp iron tools, it can easily devour them and turn them into food in its stomach. Its excrement is extremely hard and sharp like steel, and can be cast into weapons with infinite power.

The Chitie Mountains are located in the southern part of Uttarakuru, some distance away from the Qinyuan Mountains.

A few days later.

Xiao Chen and Princess Wansheng came to the Chitie Mountains.

The Chitie Mountains, a mountain range stretching for more than 3,000 miles, is like a giant black dragon, winding and circling in the southern part of Uttarakuru.

The mountains are undulating and the peaks are overlapping, exuding a primitive and rugged atmosphere.

There are many ores on the mountain, and iron mountains stand majestically in the middle of them. The glittering iron is like an iron ocean, magnificent and breathtaking. This is the world of iron, the home of iron.

As soon as Xiao Chen stepped into the Chitie Mountains, a strong smell of rust and stench hit him in the face. This was the unique scent of this mountain range and also the mark of the Chitie people's life.

In short, the smell of feces is very strong.

This... might be the unique smell of the toughness and strength of the Iron Clan! Princess Halloween was obviously not used to this smell. She frowned slightly and covered her mouth and nose with her hands, trying to resist this strong smell.

In the Chitie Mountains, many black-haired bull monsters are busy.

These black-haired bull monsters are burly, with pitch-black fur and huge horns. They look like moving hills, exuding an aura of strength and power.

These black-haired bull monsters have different divisions of labor. Some wield heavy iron pickaxes to dig for iron.

The iron pickaxe collided with the hard ore, making a crisp "clang clang clang" sound that echoed between the valleys.

Some black-haired bull demons carried dung buckets and ran back and forth. The dung buckets were filled with their special "material" - dung. In the eyes of the Iron Clan, this dung was a valuable raw material for forging iron and casting weapons.

There were also black-haired bull monsters gathered around the stove, they skillfully operated hammers and pliers, using that special "material" - their feces - to forge iron and cast weapons.

This iron mountain, this ore, this feces... in the eyes of the iron-biting tribe, they are all the source of life and treasures.

Xiao Chen and Princess Halloween pressed down the clouds and landed in the Chitie Mountains, feeling the... unique smell here.

"The Iron Mountains..."

Xiao Chen looked around and saw towering iron mountains and a dazzling array of various minerals in the mountains, some as green and crystal as emeralds, and some as dazzling as rubies.

Bees love flowers and love to collect nectar from them.

As for the iron ore, it likes to mine and eat iron.

These minerals are the food source of the Iron Tribe and the cornerstone of their lives.

Compared with the Qinyuan Mountains with their fragrant flowers and pleasant scenery, the Chitie Mountains are indeed a bit messy, smelly and not very hygienic.

This place is more like a huge cattle pen, full of primitive and rough atmosphere.

However, Xiao Chen could also understand this difference.

In nature, every organism has its own unique way of survival and habits.

Bees are very good at building things, and their hives are generally clean and hygienic.

As for the cowshed...it's indeed a bit messy.

But the iron-biting bulls eat iron and use feces as casting material. They don’t care too much about it and they enjoy it.

In front of the mountain gate of the Chitie Mountains, the sunlight shines on the majestic mountain gate, casting mottled light and shadows.

On both sides of the mountain gate, dozens of extremely majestic black-haired bull monsters stood upright with weapons shining with cold light, guarding the mountain gate.

Xiao Chen stood in front of the mountain gate with a calm expression and said to the guarding bull monster:

"Please inform the Bull Demon King that the Golden Horned King is visiting."

Nowadays, he, the King of Golden Horn, naturally has quite a reputation in Uttarakuru.

The monsters in Uttarakuru have all heard of his name "Sky-Swallowing Great Sage King of Golden Horns" and they all fear him a little.

The name of the monster, the shadow of the tree.

When the guarding bull demon heard this, a trace of awe flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said respectfully:
"Okay, King Jinjiao, please wait a moment. I will report immediately."

After saying that, the guarding bull demon hurried away, and his figure quickly disappeared in the winding path behind the mountain gate, as if he was afraid of delaying something important.

Not long after.

A heroic laugh came from afar, as deafening as thunder, accompanied by heavy footsteps, making people feel a powerful momentum.

The sound arrived before the monster, and the familiar and heroic voice was full of kindness and enthusiasm for the Golden Horn King:
"Brother Jinjiao, you came to see me, but you want to go with me to Qingqiu to have fun..."

The Bull Demon King was seen striding towards them in a gorgeous golden armor. The golden armor was gleaming in the sun, making him look very majestic.

Behind the Bull Demon King are two black-haired bull demons, one on the left and one on the right, one fat and one thin, like the two generals Heng and Ha, highlighting the Bull Demon King's majesty and status.

The Bull Demon King rushed to the mountain gate with a smile on his face. He saw the Golden Horned King at a glance and a look of joy appeared on his face.

However, when his eyes fell on Princess Halloween behind Xiao Chen, his expression changed slightly, and he immediately stopped talking, acting like an elder.

He forced back the words "flirting", as if he had never said them.

The Bull Demon King's eyes became serious and solemn, as if at this moment, he was no longer the unruly and wanton Bull Demon King, but an elder with profound heritage and sense of responsibility.

"My dear brother, this is your niece."

The Bull Demon King spoke. Although his voice was still loud, it was more steady and solemn:

"Do you have anything important to discuss with me during this trip?"

Xiao Chen nodded, his expression solemn, and said:

"I have something important to ask you, brother."

"My brother can't help me with this matter."

Princess Wansheng also bowed and saluted, her voice clear and pleasant:
"Yao'er greets Uncle Bull Demon King."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this, the Bull Demon King glanced back and forth between the two demons, vaguely guessing in his heart that this matter was no trivial matter.

He put his arm around Xiao Chen's shoulders and said to Princess Wan Sheng beside him:

"Brother Jinjiao, niece Wansheng, since you have come to the Chitie Mountains, I will do my best to be a good host."

"Come, follow me into the mansion first, and we'll talk in detail."

"Let's go."

After saying that, Bull Demon King waved his hand and took Xiao Chen and Princess Halloween into the depths of the Chitie Mountains.

Not long after.

Several monsters came to the Chitie Palace.

The Chitie Palace is located in a towering iron mountain. The entire palace is made of iron, forming a seamless whole, appearing extremely hard and majestic.

"Meet the king!"

"Meet the king!"

……

The gates of the palace were closed tightly and the guards stood as straight as pine trees with solemn expressions.

Seeing the Bull Demon King return, the guards saluted and quickly made way.

The Bull Demon King strode forward, leading Xiao Chen and Princess Wansheng through the winding corridors of the palace, and finally arrived at a secret room.

The secret room was filled with complicated prohibitions, flashing with faint blue light, like an invisible net that kept out all prying eyes from the outside world.

The interior furnishings are simple yet solemn. In the center stands a coffee table carved with a tin pattern, and the tea sets on the table are arranged in an orderly manner.

"Use the Iron Tree Flower Tea!"

At the Bull Demon King's command, his little demons quickly served tea and then retreated respectfully, leaving only the Bull Demon King, King Golden Horn and Princess Halloween in the secret room.

The Bull Demon King introduced with a smile:
"Brother Jinjiao, niece Wansheng, this is the treasure of the Iron Clan, the 'Iron Tree'."

"This iron tree is very unusual. It blooms only once a hundred years, which is called 'iron tree blooming'."

"The flowers of the iron tree are extremely precious. Only eight ounces of camellia flowers can be harvested from a hundred-foot iron tree."

"Taking it can improve your physical strength. It is a rare and fine tea."

"Since you're here, you must try it!"

As he spoke, the Bull Demon King picked up the teacup, took a sip, and a satisfied look appeared on his face.

"Drink tea, drink tea!"

At the same time, the Bull Demon King signaled Xiao Chen and Princess Halloween to also taste it.

Xiao Chen and Princess Wansheng also picked up their teacups and took a sip.

Xiao Chen felt that the tea melted in his mouth, and a warm current instantly surged through his body, as if an inexplicable power was nourishing his body.

Xiao Chen exclaimed:
"This iron tree flower tea is indeed extraordinary. I feel my body is refreshed and my spirit is fuller."

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Since you like it, I'll tell the boys to pack a few pounds for you."

"This tea is not only delicious, but also beneficial to your health. Take it back and enjoy it slowly."

Xiao Chen was not polite, he smiled and said:
"Brother, it is kind of me, I will not refuse it."

Inside the secret room.

The Bull Demon King, the Golden Horn King, and Princess Halloween continued to drink tea and chat, and the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.

After three cups of tea, we got down to business.

The Bull Demon King put down his teacup and said seriously:
"Brother, niece Wansheng, can you tell me what happened now?"

Princess Halloween looked at the Bull Demon King, took a deep breath, and said:

"Uncle Bull Demon King, this is it..."

"We came here for the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum..."

"It is said that this nine-leaf Ganoderma can heal and repair injuries to the root..."

"I guess the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum may be in Heaven..."

"Queen Mother..."

……

Princess Halloween naturally did not hide anything from Bull Demon King and told him everything about the Nine-Leaf Ganoderma Lucidum.

The Bull Demon King nodded slightly and said:
"That's it..."

The Bull Demon King was not too surprised about the "theft of treasure from heaven".

After all, the Bull Demon King had experienced too many ups and downs, and had been responsible for countless murders. He had imprisoned the uncle of Tathagata Buddha, robbed prisoners in heaven, and killed the Bodhisattva of Lingshan...

Going to heaven to steal a treasure is not a big deal.

Moreover, he, the Bull Demon King, is no longer the same as before.

In the past, his inheritance, concubines... were all in Xiniu Hezhou, which was considered Lingshan's territory.

But now, his foundation is in Uttarakuru, the territory of the demon clan, and he has nothing to fear.

With this retreat, even if something happens, he, the Bull Demon King, will not be afraid.

After thinking for a moment, the Bull Demon King's eyes flashed with determination and wisdom, and he said:

"Since this nine-leaf Ganoderma can heal the root injury of niece Wan Sheng."

"Then we must get it!"

The Bull Demon King paused and continued in a steady tone:

"It's just that I have just arrived at the Chitie Family and have not yet completely assumed power. My foundation in the Chitie Family is not yet solid, so I cannot leave for long."

"Therefore, I can't accompany you to the Heavenly Palace to steal treasures."

At this point, the Bull Demon King's tone became serious:
"Moreover, the Heavenly Palace is full of dangers. If you get into trouble or encounter any danger, you will need some trusted demons to help you from the outside world."

"This way, we can ensure that you can escape safely."

The Bull Demon King looked at Xiao Chen, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes:
"Brother, I will be your external aid on this trip."

"My demon clan's military strategy says: If you want to think about the benefits, you must also consider the harm; if you want to think about success, you must also consider the failure!"

“Only by keeping the overall situation in mind, anticipating defeat before victory, and avoiding harm before seeking advantage can you be invincible!”

"The best outcome of this theft of treasure from Heaven is that you steal the treasure and successfully evacuate."

"But we must also consider the worst possible outcome, which is that you fail to steal the treasure and encounter danger."

The Bull Demon King's voice was steady and powerful. He analyzed and arranged them one by one:
“As the saying goes: A single thread cannot make a line, and a single tree cannot make a forest.”

"I'll go call my dear brother the Monkey King. He's very clever and good at getting information. He comes and goes like the wind and is the best at passing on information."

"He is a top-notch scout of our demon clan."

"It will definitely be able to monitor the movements of the Southern Gate of Heaven."

"If you are in danger, make some noise at the South Gate of Heaven."

"Whether it's smoke, fire or some other signal."

"As long as I know, I will call on the Lion King, the Monkey King, the Yurong King, the Hundred Eyes King, the Dragon Demon King, the Peng Demon King... these trustworthy brothers to go to the South Gate of the Heavenly Palace to meet you."

"Then we will all retreat back to Uttarakuru together."

At this point, the Bull Demon King's voice became even more sonorous and powerful, full of deep affection and loyalty to his brothers:

"Heaven is in the light, we are in the dark."

"We'll attack them when they're unprepared, and then leave once we succeed."

"They would never have thought that we would be so bold as to take action right under the nose of Heaven!"
