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

Chapter 529 How about promising yourself?

Women are generally quite curious and enjoy unpacking packages and blind boxes.

It's common to see so many packages that they're pulled around in small carts.

The same applies to Wan Sheng Long Nu.

On the way back to the Yang residence.

The Dragon Girl was filled with curiosity, her inquisitive spirit like a cat scratching at a ball of yarn, unable to contain itself.

She moved gracefully closer to Xiao Chen, and used her "mosquito-brand cordless phone" to transmit her voice, asking:

"King Golden Horn, what exactly does Fairy Su'e want with you?"

"I could tell from her hurried expression and unsteady steps that she must have something important to ask of me."

Xiao Chen responded calmly:

"The Queen Mother of the West bestowed upon me a treasure, which is very likely a peach of immortality."

“The Fairy Su’e’s lifespan is nearing its end, and her time is not far off. She wants to make a deal with me and ask for the peaches of immortality in my possession to prolong her life.”

"So that's the reason..."

Upon hearing this, Wan Shenglongnu smiled faintly, a sly glint in her eyes, as if she could see through everything.

She parted her cherry lips slightly, her voice carrying a hint of teasing and playfulness:
"I saw that the fairy Su'e had an exquisite face and a graceful figure. I'm afraid King Golden Horn has already granted her plea."

"After all, with such a beautiful woman making a request, her tearful and pitiful appearance, it would be hard for anyone to bear refusing her."

The Dragon Girl's words carried a subtle, enigmatic meaning, as if a hint of jealousy permeated the air, or perhaps she was subtly testing Xiao Chen's feelings.

"Hahaha……"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen burst into laughter:
"Ao Yao, am I, the Golden Horn King, the kind of person who would be easily seduced by beauty?"

"Moreover……"

Xiao Chen's gaze inadvertently swept over Wan Shenglongnu.

In an instant, memories flooded my mind like a tide.

He recalled the feeling of the face wash during their last intimate encounter.

It felt as if two mounds of fine jade were gently caressing my face, making me feel somewhat intoxicated.

After secretly comparing Fairy Su'e and Dragon Girl Wansheng in his heart, Xiao Chen couldn't help but ponder:

"It seems that I, the Golden Horn King, still prefer women with a fuller figure. Although Fairy Su'e is beautiful, compared to the Dragon Girl of Ten Thousand Saints, she is like an unripe green fruit, lacking the charm and allure of a fully ripe woman."

Think about this.

Xiao Chen looked at Wan Shenglongnu, a playful smile playing on his lips, and teased:

"Besides, Ao Yao, compared to you, this Fairy Su'e is nothing but a greenhorn."

"With you by my side, how could I be so easily bewitched by this fairy Su'e?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Shenglongnu's face instantly flushed red, like the dazzling sunset on the horizon, so beautiful and captivating that it was mesmerizing.

She lowered her head slightly, remaining silent the entire way. A thousand words seemed to surge within her, yet she didn't know where to begin. She simply pondered Xiao Chen's words, her thoughts drifting into the distance…

……

The Heavenly Realm, the Eighth Heavenly Layer.

Chixia Mountain, Yang Residence.

……

After returning to the Yang residence.

Xiao Chen's expression instantly changed, and his face became serious and solemn.

He knew that the treasure bestowed by the Queen Mother of the West was extraordinary. In order to prevent any unforeseen complications, he quickly closed the door, rapidly formed hand seals, and set up several layers of protective barriers to guard the room tightly.

Women often enjoy the surprise and anticipation of "unpacking express delivery" or "opening blind boxes." The unknown mystery is like an invisible hook, tightly gripping their hearts and making them unable to resist.

Wan Sheng Long Nu was no exception.

She was a woman with a great deal of curiosity, and at this moment she could hardly contain her excitement.

As soon as the door closed, Wan Shenglongnu eagerly grabbed Xiao Chen's sleeve, her eyes sparkling with excitement, and urged him in a sweet voice:
"King Golden Horn, quickly open it and see what kind of treasure the Queen Mother of the West has given you!"

"I'm so curious, I'm about to burst!"

Seeing Wan Shenglongnu's anxious, pacing manner, Xiao Chen chuckled inwardly. He deliberately kept her in suspense, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said teasingly:
“Ao Yao, what’s the rush? This treasure is no ordinary item; it needs to be treated with a proper ceremony.”

"Just like ordinary people getting married, there are three letters and six rites, which is a sign of respect and importance placed on marriage."

"This treasure needs a special ceremony to be opened, so as to show its extraordinary value."

Wan Shenglongnu was not about to easily give in to Xiao Chen's wishes. She gently shook Xiao Chen's arm, her movements soft and tender, as if she wanted to convey all her expectations through this delicate touch.

She tilted her head slightly, her fair neck appearing exceptionally graceful in the light and shadow, her beautiful eyes sparkling with anticipation, and she began to coax him in a sweet and gentle voice:
"King Golden Horn, my good king, please open it quickly, I can't wait any longer."

Wan Shenglongnu's voice was sweet and melodious, with a hint of coquettishness.

"Stop keeping me in suspense. It's like there's a little claw scratching at my heart, it's so itchy."

As Wan Shenglongnu spoke, she gently shook Xiao Chen's arm again.

The warmth and softness of her skin against his arm stirred a ripple in Xiao Chen's heart.

The Dragon Girl of Halloween has an incredibly graceful figure, like a delicate flower swaying in the wind, with her curvaceous figure out a captivating silhouette.

With the gentle swaying of her arm.

The two round, smooth, and full breasts in front of Wan Shenglongnu's body were also inadvertently pressing gently against Xiao Chen's arm.

The large, full curve, under pressure, forms a deep indentation.

But it adds a touch of alluring charm.

This disturbed Xiao Chen's mind slightly.

The Dragon Girl seemed completely unaware of how alluring her actions were, only eagerly anticipating that Xiao Chen would fulfill her request; she looked absolutely adorable.

"Okay, okay, I'll open it right away."

Xiao Chen smiled helplessly, and under the urging of Wan Shenglongnu's burning gaze, he slowly reached out his hand towards the box made of peach wood.

The box was simple and elegant, exuding a faint woody fragrance, which spoke of its extraordinary nature.

Upon hearing this, Wan Shenglongnu immediately stopped shaking, her eyes filled with joy as she stared intently at Xiao Chen, awaiting the surprise that was about to be revealed.

Xiao Chen gently placed his fingers on the lid of the box, applied slight pressure, and infused his magic power to break the seal.

With a soft "click," the box lid slowly opened.

In an instant, a dazzling purple light shot out from the box, illuminating the entire room.

The purple light was dazzling, making one squint.

A strange and captivating fragrance instantly filled the entire room.

The fragrance was fresh and elegant, yet with a hint of sweetness, like an invisible hand that tempted Wan Shenglongnu to get her hands on it.

"Gulu..."

Wan Shenglongnu couldn't help but swallow hard, her eyes fixed on the box, unwilling to look away for even a moment, as if afraid that the treasure would suddenly disappear.

There, in the center, was a peach.

The peaches were round and plump, vibrant and juicy, with a captivating purplish-red skin adorned with mysterious purple patterns, radiating a dazzling "purple glow," and exuding a vibrant life force—truly extraordinary.

Xiao Chen had eaten many flat peaches, and he recognized them at a glance as large flat peaches with purple veins and yellow pits.

The Purple-Veined Yellow-Petaled Peaches are the finest spiritual fruits of heaven and earth in the Three Realms. Having undergone countless years of refinement, they absorb the essence of heaven and earth and contain boundless life force.

Xiao Chen had already eaten many large flat peaches and was immune to their taste.

The sweet taste was no longer fresh in his mouth, just as after tasting countless delicacies, he was no longer tempted by ordinary flavors.

But Wan Shenglongnu had never tasted such a large peach before, and she couldn't help but swallow hard at the thought of its flavor. Her eyes were filled with longing, as if it were the most delicious thing in the world.

Actually, everyone feels this way when they first see peaches; it's hard for anyone to resist the temptation that comes from their body's instincts.

Even the Golden Horn King was not immune to this fate back then.

"It really is a large, flat peach..."

Xiao Chen was not surprised to see the large peach; his expression remained calm.

The Queen Mother's golden hairpin played a significant role in the Battle of Tongming Hall.

Previously, he had distinguished himself in the campaign to quell the rebellion by borrowing the Queen Mother's golden hairpin, and had won the favor of the Queen Mother of the West with his talent and courage.

It was only natural that the Queen Mother of the West bestowed upon him a large peach as a reward.

This is a reward he deserves.

Moreover, he is currently appearing as Yang Guoshan, and his cultivation level is only at the Xuanxian realm.

For him, eating this large peach would rapidly increase his magical power, saving him years of arduous cultivation.

As a reward, it couldn't be more fitting. Looking at the adorable appearance of the Dragon Maiden of Ten Thousand Saints, Xiao Chen's lips curled into a smile. He then picked up the large peach and handed it to her, teasingly saying:

"Ao Yao, here, you can have this peach."

The Dragon Girl of Ten Thousand Saints looked at the large peaches of immortality, subconsciously swallowed, and hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, saying in a flustered manner:
"King Golden Horn, these peaches were bestowed upon you by the Queen Mother of the West for your meritorious service in Heaven. Peaches of Immortality are precious; how could I possibly eat yours?"

"I cannot accept such a generous gift without having done anything in return."

Xiao Chen waved his hand, his expression serious, and said:
“Ao Yao, your foundation was already damaged, your cultivation level dropped, and your lifespan was also depleted.”

"This peach has the miraculous effect of prolonging life and can also enhance your magical power. Although it cannot completely heal your injuries, it can repair them to some extent and help you go further on your cultivation path."

Say it.

Without allowing any further explanation, Xiao Chen handed the large peach to Wan Sheng Long Nu and said with a smile:
"To reach the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal, one must have a perfect and flawless physical body, boundless magical power, a primordial spirit that transcends the material world, and some understanding of the Great Dao, ultimately forming the perfect state of 'Three Flowers Gathering at the Top'."

"In terms of magical power alone, my current magical power is not far from the realm of the Great Luo Golden Immortal. Adding a little magical power and lifespan would not mean much to me."

"These peaches are somewhat of a burden to me now; I'll just have a taste of them."

"Eat it now, don't refuse anymore."

"The realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal?"

Upon hearing this, Wan Shenglongnu's expression changed, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

She never imagined that the Golden Horned King before her, who was only a few hundred years old, was already close to reaching the realm of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

That is a realm that countless cultivators dream of, strive for, but can hardly reach!

Once one reaches the realm of a Great Golden Immortal, one truly gains a place in the Three Realms.

It can be said that no matter where one goes, the Great Luo Golden Immortal is always a guest of honor.

It should be noted that the young demons of Beiju Luzhou, such as the Nine-Headed Insect, the Nine-Headed Green Bamboo, and the Nine-Headed Golden Rainbow, are still far from reaching the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.

They are still diligently practicing, seeking a way to break through.

Upon hearing this, Wan Shenglongnu no longer declined.

She took the large, ripe peach, sighed softly, her expression a mixture of gratitude and helplessness:
"King Golden Horn, I have received so many kindnesses from you, I don't know how I can ever repay you."

"How can I treat you like this?"

Xiao Chen glanced at Wan Shenglongnu, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, and teased:
"Ao Yao, if you truly have nothing to repay me with, why not offer yourself to me?"

"This large peach is my 'token of love' for you. From now on, let's spend our lives together, okay?"

"This……"

Upon hearing this, Wan Shenglongnu's face instantly turned bright red, as beautiful and charming as the radiant clouds on the horizon.

Most women admire strong men.

Although King Golden Horn was of ordinary origin, being a toad spirit, his strength was extraordinary, making him a powerful overlord in the demon realm.

Moreover, the Golden Horned King was young and promising, and he cared for her very much, leaving a very deep impression on her.

Previously, on Fangzhang Immortal Mountain, amidst the chaos of the anti-heaven army, she encountered a desperate situation, surrounded by anti-heaven troops who wanted to take her life.

She was isolated and helpless, filled with fear and despair.

At this critical moment, King Golden Horn stepped forward, risking the exposure of his cultivation level, like a war god descending.

He single-handedly repelled the enemy and saved her life, allowing her to truly feel this profound affection.

Think about this.

The Dragon Girl pondered to herself:

"In the past, I only felt that King Golden Horn was generous and righteous, and acted with integrity. I never expected that in this life-or-death situation, he would disregard his own safety and protect me from the wind and rain."

"It seems that in critical moments, King Golden Horn is indeed a person we can rely on."

"If I could spend my life with him, it would be a wonderful thing."

Unfortunately, she heard that the Golden Horned King already had a wife.

If Ao Yao were to marry into the Golden Horn King's household, wouldn't she only be able to become a concubine or a secondary wife?
"Hey……"

Thinking of this, a sense of loss and helplessness welled up in her heart, and her eyes dimmed.

Looking at the large peach in her hand, Wan Shenglongnu hesitated, her eyes filled with contradiction and struggle.

Seeing this, Xiao Chen laughed:
“Ao Yao, I was just joking.”

"Don't take it seriously, just eat."

"King Golden Horn, you're so wicked!"

Upon hearing this, Wan Shenglongnu gave Xiao Chen a reproachful look, her eyes filled with a mixture of reproach and shyness, making her extremely endearing.

It is just like: "The gentleness of that lowered head is like a water lily shyly trembling in the cool breeze."

Xiao Chen seemed to be deep in thought:
"The Dragon Girl of Ten Thousand Saints..."

"The Dragon Clan's Underwater Purgatory..."

"Prove the Way through force!"

"Advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm..."

Think of this.

Xiao Chen's lips curled up slightly, forming a faint smile, but he remained silent, as if a thousand schemes were churning in his mind.

Actually, what he said just now wasn't entirely a joke.

He had his reasons.

The adult world has long been tainted by worldly concerns, making it difficult to find such pure emotions anymore.

In the adult world of love, half is emotion and half is the balance of interests, just like the two ends of a scale. It needs to be carefully weighed. If one side is too heavy or too light, this seemingly beautiful balance may collapse in an instant.

The love of young people is simply love.

Young people are pure and innocent, with only "love" in their hearts. They are willing to give their all for the first stirrings of love.

But youthful infatuation and the awakening of first love are ultimately just the thoughts of a young boy.

As the poem that has been passed down through the ages says:

"I wanted to buy osmanthus flowers and share wine, but it will never be like the carefree days of my youth."

The youthful spirit of yesteryear, once worn down by the sands of time, is like the flowing water of the past, never to be found again.

Youth is like a rushing river, vast and mighty, never to return. There's no time to say goodbye, leaving us numb, devoid of the passion and enthusiasm of yesteryear, only able to stumble and struggle forward in the mire of reality.

The former "young man" has eventually become an "old boy" in the passage of time, with a touch of vicissitude in his eyes and a touch of weighing in his heart.

In the adult world, "suitable" is far more important than "like".

Marriage and love, though closely linked, are fundamentally different.

Pure love can make people go through fire and water, disregard everything, and rush forward without hesitation just to protect the love in their hearts, like moths to a flame, knowing that they will be shattered to pieces, yet still without hesitation.

Marriage, however, requires many considerations, such as social standing and a balance of interests, in order to ensure stability and longevity.

Marriage is more like a transaction, with both parties weighing their gains and losses and searching for the most suitable partner.

This is reality; it's cruel, but we have no choice but to face it.

Take King Golden Horn and the Scorpion Demon for example. When they first met, frankly speaking, they were just getting what they needed from each other.

The scorpion demon was beautiful and charming, but she was attracted to the Golden Horn King's looks and was captivated by his charm.

As for King Golden Horn, as the master of the Four Powers Sect, he coveted the Scorpion Demon's strength. With her protection, the Four Powers Sect could be safe and secure, and could better develop its business and gain a foothold in Xiniu Hezhou.

King Golden Horn coveted the wealth of the Scorpion Demon. That vast fortune, like an inexhaustible wellspring of water, could provide the Four Powers Studio with the initial capital to help him achieve his grand ambitions.

Just like his elder brother, the Bull Demon King, and that Jade-Faced Fox, it was the same.

The Jade-Faced Fox is beautiful, but lacks strength. In this perilous world of immortals and heroes, she needs a powerful backer to protect her.

She coveted the power of the Bull Demon King, believing that with him by her side, she could be safe.

The formidable strength of the Mighty Bull Demon King was precisely what she valued, serving as her guarantee for survival in this chaotic world.

The Bull Demon King coveted the Jade-Faced Fox's beauty and her vast wealth.

This way.

The Bull Demon King and the Jade-Faced Fox got together.

He, the Golden Horn King, had already reached the peak of the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm, standing at a crucial juncture in his cultivation.

After the "stealing herbs from the heavens" incident is over, he should start planning his "advancement to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm".

Before embarking on his journey to the West, King Golden Horn needed to possess at least the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal to make any significant progress on the journey.

Therefore, they can profit more.
