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

Chapter 534 Kang Jinlongnu's Feelings

Previously, during the anti-heaven war launched by Emperor Donghua.

By chance, Xiao Chen and Wan Shenglongnu were drawn into the conflict and made some contributions.

The Heavenly Court's reward, though belated, has finally arrived.

Xiao Chen (Yang Guoshan) was promoted two ranks and became a "Celestial Patrol Captain", a seventh-rank celestial official who could command hundreds of celestial soldiers.

Wan Sheng Long Nu (Yang Long) was also promoted one level and became a Golden Armored Heavenly Soldier, under the command of Yang Guoshan Captain. They then went together to the tent of General Juanlian to receive orders.

The decree has been received, and the promotion has been decided.

Three days later, they will report to General Rolling Curtain.

According to the rules of the military, everything has a beginning and an end.

Before that, there was one place Xiao Chen had to go to—to the Azure Dragon Seven Constellations Legion's base to bid farewell to their commander, "Kang Jin Xing Jun".

That is, "Kang Jinlong Nu".

……

The Celestial Realm, the base of the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Constellations Legion.

This is no ordinary immortal mountain, but a vast fortress complex suspended in the boundless sky, meticulously constructed with the mysterious power of stars.

Starlight seemed to flow among the lights, as if a spiritual energy was surging within. The Azure Dragon totem was coiled above the main hall, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, displaying its majestic and awe-inspiring presence.

The chilling atmosphere permeated the surroundings as if it were a tangible force, instilling a sense of awe in all who entered the place for the first time, and making them dare not slacken their guard in the slightest.

The Kangjin Dragon Maiden's office residence, "Kangjin Divine Palace," is a magnificent star palace next to the main hall of the Seven Masters of the Eastern Azure Dragon.

"Yang Guoshan, the Celestial Patrol Captain of the Azure Dragon Seven Mansions of the East, pays respects to Lord Kang Jin Xing..."

After the announcement.

Led by two female guards named Kang Jinlong, Xiao Chen slowly stepped into the hall.

The moment Xiao Chen stepped into the Kangjin Temple, he felt as if a bright and clear view had suddenly opened up before him.

The interior of the hall is spacious and bright, with stars quietly moving above the dome, illustrating the ultimate principles of heaven and earth and containing endless mysteries.

The ground was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a chilling atmosphere of war and intimidation, making one feel as if they had stepped into a battlefield filled with murderous intent.

This is the Kangjin Divine Palace within the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon in the East.

At this moment.

Kang Jinlong was sitting upright in the main seat, concentrating on handling military affairs.

She wasn't wearing that imposing battle armor, but rather a white, fitted outfit with a red brocade robe over it.

The white outfit clung to her figure, perfectly outlining her agile and powerful physique.

The red brocade robe covering her body was as fiery and flamboyant as a burning flame, standing out even more vividly against the backdrop of her white outfit.

Kang Jinlong's attire this time is a perfect blend of strength and gentleness. It exudes both the graceful charm of a woman and the heroic spirit of a man, further enhancing her dashing and unparalleled demeanor. Every gesture she makes reveals the bold and heroic spirit of a woman who is not inferior to men.

Her jet-black hair was tied up high, revealing her smooth, full forehead and long, graceful neck, with flowing, elegant lines, like a noble and serene swan.

"Wow, that's huge! It's really exaggerated..."

Xiao Chen's gaze swept across the area unintentionally, eventually landing on the desk.

On the desk.

There was a pair of enormous, plump objects on display, their size extremely large.

These two full breasts, round and plump, seem to contain the essence of heaven and earth; their size is astonishing.

If two snow-capped mountains stood majestically on the table, they would naturally exude an awe-inspiring and unassailable aura.

"Crunch, crunch, crunch..."

"Crunch, crunch, crunch..."

With Kang Jinlongnu's breathing.

Under the heavy weight of these two voluptuous things.

The once sturdy desk began to tremble slightly, emitting soft creaking sounds.

It seems to be telling the story of the heavy weight of these plump things.

"Such long legs..."

Xiao Chen's gaze slowly moved downwards.

Under the desk.

It was her pair of long, slender, and beautifully rounded legs.

Those long, slender legs were like the finest white jade, translucent and with a faint sheen. From calves to thighs, there wasn't an ounce of excess fat, and every inch of skin was smooth and delicate.

Beneath the gentle veil of her crimson robe, her long legs were faintly visible, adding to her mystery and allure, making one yearn to explore further.

It is clear.

This Kang Jinlongnu is also a great dragon maiden who is "all-encompassing and magnanimous," and is in no way inferior to the Wansheng Great Dragon Maiden.

Such grace and beauty are truly beyond compare.

Kang Jinlong's eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes like stars, her nose was high and straight, and her lips were red.

It's been a long time.

Her appearance remained stunningly beautiful, but her demeanor had become more imposing than when Xiao Chen first met her, exuding the aura of someone in a high position who wielded military power, commanding respect without anger.

At this moment, after approving military affairs.

Her bright dragon eyes were focused intently on the star chart scroll in her hands, observing the changes in the stars in the sky.

Behind her, on the weapon rack, lay a pair of "golden maces".

The golden mace is long and bladeless, with four distinct edges, resembling a winding dragon's spine, and is four feet long.

The golden mace was forged from pure gold, with an ancient and heavy design, and faint dragon patterns wrapped around it. Just by sitting there, it exuded an aura as heavy as a mountain.

This is the signature magic weapon of Kang Jinlongnu – the "Kanglong Golden Mace".

"Kang Jinlong Nu..."

Looking at the stunningly beautiful and aloof Kang Jin Xing Jun, he thought about leaving her military camp soon.

A strange feeling, or rather, reluctance, suddenly welled up in Xiao Chen's mind.

"Yang Guoshan...Kang Jinlongnu..."

Xiao Chen understood that this feeling did not arise out of thin air, but was caused by the memories of Yang Guoshan in his mind.

Kang Jinlong was the obsession that Yang Guoshan could not let go of.

King Golden Horn completely absorbed Yang Guoshan's memories, as if he had personally lived through Yang Guoshan's entire life.

The joys and sorrows, the tranquility and the ups and downs of Yang Guoshan's past flashed through his mind like vivid paintings.

Therefore, he touched upon Yang Guoshan's deep-seated obsession.

Obsession is hard to shake.

This obsession, in fact, is not complicated, yet it is full of helplessness and bitterness.

It originated from Yang Guoshan's unspoken, deep-seated crush on Kang Jinxingjun.

At the Heavenly Soldiers Martial Arts Tournament, Yang Guoshan was deeply shocked by the beauty and temperament of Kang Jinxingjun when he first met her. Her cold and beautiful face has been unforgettable in his heart ever since.

In Yang Guoshan's memory, he secretly developed feelings for Kang Jinxingjun. Her every smile, every gesture, was like a magnet, drawing his gaze.

Although he never confessed his feelings, this unrequited love was deeply imprinted in his heart, becoming an indelible obsession for Yang Guoshan.

"Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu..."

"Yang Guoshan and the Dragon Girl..."

Xiao Chen's lips curled up slightly, and he couldn't help but sigh for the fate of this "Yang Guoshan".

Perhaps fate in this world is just that wonderful.

The name "Yang Guo" seems to possess a magical power, inherently linked to the "Dragon Girl" by fate.

His thoughts drifted back to the past, when he, along with the Bull Demon King, the Lion Camel King, and the Macaque King, went to rescue the prisoners in Heaven, their goal being to save Wuzhiqi.

At the time, it was to conceal their faces.

In that thrilling operation, King Golden Horn deliberately disguised himself as "Yang Guo," transforming himself into "Yang Guo of the Journey to the West world."

Although this "Yang Guo" modestly described himself as "ordinary and unremarkable," he was actually lean and handsome, with sword-like eyebrows reaching his temples and phoenix eyes that exuded power.

That unique aura, like a sharp sword, exudes a fatal attraction, and is extremely lethal to women.

Just like the saying goes: "Meeting Yang Guo once ruins one's life."

This is not an exaggeration, but a fact.

Lu Wushuang, Cheng Ying, Gongsun Lüe, Guo Xiang... Some of them were so deeply in love with Yang Guo that they could not extricate themselves, and remained unmarried for their entire lives, guarding that hopeless love until they died alone; others died for Yang Guo, leaving behind endless regrets.

At that time, the situation was tense amidst the chaos of battle.

Xiao Chen originally intended to punch Kang Jinlongnu's jade rabbit directly, smashing it badly and thus defeating her.

However, at the time, Xiao Chen was unaware of the relationship between Kang Jinlongnu and the Dragon Clan. Considering this relationship, he thought she might be an inside agent planted by the Dragon Clan.

So, at the crucial moment.

Therefore, Xiao Chen stopped, simply turning his fist into a palm and gently patting Kang Jin Xingjun's thunder.

King Golden Horn held back.

Otherwise, with his powerful punch, Kang Jinlong would definitely not be able to withstand it and would be badly injured.

Unexpectedly, when King Kang Jin saw that he had been groped, he became furious and his anger erupted like a volcano.

She exerted her strength and shattered the black cloak Xiao Chen was wearing.

The moment the black cloak shattered, Yang Guo's "ordinary" face was revealed.

At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.

Poems as proof:

"Our first meeting at Fengling Ferry, a glimpse of Yang Guo and my life was forever changed!"

"I only regret that I was born when you were already old, and I remember my old friend before the cliff of heartbreak."

These two lines of poetry seem to be the most fitting description of the scene before our eyes.

The poem was originally about Yang Guo and Guo Xiang.

The moment Yang Guo took off his mask and Guo Xiang saw his face.

A fleeting glimpse at Fengling Ferry was enough to make Guo Xiang fall deeply in love.

Guo Xiang loved but could not have him, admired him but could not get him, and her whole life was wasted by Yang Guo.

She had traveled all over the Central Plains in search of Yang Guo's whereabouts, and even when her parents died for their country, she still persisted in her search.

In the end, Guo Xiang renounced the mortal world, shaved her head to become a nun, and founded the Emei Sect. Her disciples were also given the Buddhist name "Fengling Shita".

It means "Fengling Ferry".

And like Guo Xiang.

At that moment, in the Di Yan Mountains, Kang Jinlongnu shattered the black cloak of King Golden Horn.

When the cloak revealed that face—slender and handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and piercing phoenix eyes—it was a striking sight.

Upon seeing that "Yang Guo" face, Kang Jinlong was clearly taken aback.

"How can a demon from the lower realm be so beautiful?"

A hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

However, before she could react...

King Golden Horn pointed his finger at the Ruyi Jingu Bang (Golden Cudgel) and, without hesitation, sent King Kang Jin Xing Jun flying with a single finger.

This was the first interaction between the Golden Horn King, who was "Yang Guo," and the Golden Dragon Girl, who was "Little Dragon Girl," which was full of drama and surprise.

Perhaps it was fate that brought "Yang Guo" and "Little Dragon Girl" together.

Later, he transformed into the silver-armored celestial soldier "Yang Guoshan" and actually ended up under the command of "Kang Jinlongnu".

That's a coincidence.

"Kang Jinlong Nu..."

Xiao Chen raised his head, his gaze falling on the aloof and stunning figure in the main seat.

Kang Jinlongnu remained focused on the star map scroll in front of her, and an invisible pressure permeated the hall.

This oppressive aura was mixed with the faint, cool fragrance of plum blossoms emanating from her body, serene and unique, lingering in the air and impossible to dispel.

Helpless, Xiao Chen could only wait quietly.

The waiting time always seems a bit long.

Bored out of his mind, his gaze inadvertently swept over the long legs that were faintly visible beneath the red robe in the main hall.

Those long, beautiful legs, naturally formed like jade, with graceful and flowing lines, seemed to be a masterpiece meticulously sculpted by the Creator. Every inch of them exuded a fatal allure, making it impossible not to take a second look.

"The Dragon-Slaying Golden Mace..."

However, Xiao Chen's gaze quickly shifted from those alluring long legs and finally settled on those ancient and heavy golden maces.

Compared to the Golden Dragon Maiden, the pair of Golden Dragon Maces were more attractive to King Golden Horn.

After all, in the world of mythology, strength and magical artifacts are the foundation for survival.

After waiting for a long time, Kang Jinlongnu was still engrossed in the scroll in her hand, seemingly oblivious to everything around her.

Xiao Chen took a deep breath, stood still in the hall, clasped his hands in a salute, and said loudly:
"Yang Guoshan has come to pay his respects to Lord Star Lord."

After finishing his work, the gaze that had been focused on the task at hand finally slowly lifted.

It is said that women have a keen sixth sense.

At this moment, the image of His Highness Xiao Chen was clearly reflected in Kang Jinlong Nu's eyes.

"Ok?"

Her gaze lingered on Xiao Chen's face for a moment, and in a daze, she seemed to see the face of "Yang Guo" from the Di Yan Mountains.

Under the cloak.

It was a face that was lean and handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes. Although it was "ordinary", it exuded a fierce and heroic spirit that made it unforgettable.

In the chaos of that prison break, it was this "Yang Guo" who made a fleeting appearance, striking her chest with a palm... All the past events surged through her mind like a tide, those images flashing continuously, and finally all transformed into the tall and upright person before her.

but.

The person before her was Yang Guoshan, the former Silver Armored Heavenly Soldier and now the Sky Patrol Captain, her subordinate.

"Yang Guoshan..."

When Kang Jinlong looked up and saw "Yang Guoshan" walking in, dressed in a brand-new Sky Patrol Captain's robe and looking dashing, her usually cold lips curved into a slight smile, and a hint of obvious appreciation and satisfaction flashed in her eyes.

The two had actually crossed paths before.

She still vaguely remembers how hard this little heavenly soldier fought during the Heavenly Soldier Martial Arts Tournament when he first ascended to the Heavenly Realm. His indomitable spirit left a deep impression on her.

She has always been rather cold towards outsiders.

However, she was relatively mild-mannered towards her subordinates, especially those who had just made contributions.

"No need to be polite."

Kang Jinlong gently put down the scroll in her hand. Her voice was like the clinking of gold and jade, clear and melodious yet majestic, echoing throughout the hall.

"Captain Yang... well, now I should address you that way."

Kang Jinlong laughed:

"You have distinguished yourself in this war against Heaven and have been promoted. This is an honor for our Eastern Azure Dragon Seven Constellations Division."

"Congratulations are in order."

As she spoke, Kang Jinlong walked up to Xiao Chen, getting very close, and looked him up and down.

Before him, the unique, refreshing fragrance emanating from Kang Jinlongnu, carrying a faint dragon aura, lingered in Xiao Chen's nostrils, causing him to pause slightly in surprise.

The Book of Strange Things states: "A snake transforms into a dragon after five hundred years, and a dragon transforms into a dragon after a thousand years."

This Kang Jinlong is not a true dragon, but a strange beast of the dragon family, a "demon dragon" that has taken human form through a long period of cultivation.

Therefore, Kang Jinlong's pupils are somewhat similar to those of snakes, exhibiting a "slit-like structure" and possessing the unique cold and aloof qualities of snakes, a "cold-blooded animal."

Kang Jinlong's eyes, like those of a snake, were cold and beautiful. When she stared at you, they would make you feel cold, yet you couldn't help but be attracted to them.

"Yang Guoshan..."

Kang Jinlong looked puzzled.

how to say.

Yang Guoshan seems to have changed a lot from before, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what had changed.

She felt that the person in front of her was both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Xiao Chen quickly replied, his tone tinged with humility and respect.

"Your subordinate Yang Guoshan will always be your subordinate."

"I will never forget the help that Lord Xingjun gave me during the Heavenly Soldier promotion assessment back then."

Xiao Chen's gaze was firm, his expression respectful, and every word he uttered was resounding.

He emphasized this kindness again, his tone full of sincerity and gratitude.

At this moment, Xiao Chen was expressing his gratitude to Kang Jinlongnu on behalf of the memories of "Yang Guoshan" within him.

He, the Golden Horn King, took over the identity of "Yang Guoshan" and absorbed "Yang Guoshan's" memories, which can be considered as fulfilling a wish for "Yang Guoshan".
