Simultaneous travel: Not eating beef

Langlang Mountain.

The cave was bustling with activity. After Bai Yu returned empty-handed from his mission with the local deity, he started a party.

It was just a marriage proposal; the landowner wasn't willing, and Bai Yu didn't intend to force them.

I originally thought it would strengthen our ties, but the landowner really has no foresight.

I've already let it go myself, I just hope that old bastard won't be so ungrateful as to report it to his superiors.

If the heavenly soldiers and generals were truly summoned, Bai Yu would have no choice but to flee with his bucket.

"Your Majesty has a good capacity for alcohol..." A lizard demon was flattering Bai Yu.

This is the former king of the mountain between Snake Coil Mountain and the mountain peak. Besides him, there is also a large crocodile.

The two of them have become the vanguard generals of Langlang Mountain, and their strength is quite remarkable.

The Celestial Realm can only be a minor general, but Langlang Mountain should have this much prestige.

After the lizard demon finished flattering, it was the crocodile demon's turn. It said, "Your Majesty, our Langlang Mountain has now made a name for itself."

"Given Your Majesty's illustrious reputation, shouldn't you adopt a more impressive name?"

These words immediately gained the approval of the other monsters, and the leaders all chimed in with their own opinions.

While enjoying the Snake Princess's massage, Bai Yu pondered.

In Journey to the West, the monsters are very particular about their pomp and circumstance and their titles.

For example, the Seven Great Sages formed a sworn brotherhood, and each of them gave themselves a more impressive title than the last.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do; perhaps I should also come up with a name for myself.

But what name should we choose?

Being too arrogant will attract other powerful demons, while being too weak will make you a laughingstock among your neighbors.

I feel awkward. My current strength is not good enough to be among the best, but it's not much better than the worst either.

The Great Sage is definitely out of the question.

With a quick glance around, Bai Yu looked at his group of underlings and said, "Alright, what name do you suggest?"

Immediately, a group of demons below began to offer suggestions.

A crow spirit said, "Since Your Majesty is a tiger, why not call yourself the King of Tigers?"

"Then I'll just call myself King of Kings." Bai Yu slammed his hand on the table and looked at the person who had spoken, saying, "Hey you, if you're not cultured, don't open your mouth. Quiet down, you guys say what you want to say."

Next, his underlings started giving Bai Yu nicknames, one after another, which made him shake his head in disbelief.

You're overthinking it. None of these guys are cultured; they just throw around titles like "King" all the time.

After pondering for a long time, Bai Yu slammed his fist on the table and said, "None of you are any good. The names you come up with are all awful."

"I have decided, from now on he shall be called the Mountain Lord."

Another name for tiger, but usually no tiger demon would use this name.

These monsters are all pretty uncultured. This name is not bad; they can just use it directly.

Erlang Zhenjun is a sovereign, and so is my Mountain Lord.

Ordinary people call tigers "big insects," while cultured people would say things like "mountain king."

"Mountain Lord?" The crocodile smacked its lips and repeated, feeling that the name was not as good as the one it had given it.

Why not call him 'White Tiger King'?

Is the main selling point a contrast?

"What the hell is the White Tiger King?" Bai Yu almost had a stroke from hearing that.

It's decided, it will be called Mountain Lord!

After deciding on the name, he held a grand banquet and ordered his younger brother to invite some neighbors from the vicinity.

Many powerful demons from the surrounding area have arrived, most of them being from the True Immortal Realm.

Unable to figure out Bai Yu's methods, these powerful demons were still quite polite.

"Ling Xuzi has arrived! He has brought a magic pill!"

The call to name immediately caught Bai Yu's attention.

Ling Xuzi?

The one next to the Black Bear Spirit?

At the entrance of the cave, a Taoist-looking fellow was carrying a red tray as he walked in.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Ling Xuzi has arrived too, please have a seat..."

Surprisingly, quite a few monsters greeted him, which suggests that this guy has made many friends.

Compared to the great demon whose entire body was in its original human form, Ling Xuzi's human appearance seemed very strange.

He walked up to Bai Yu with a smile and said, "I am Ling Xuzi, and I have come to attend the Mountain Lord's banquet. I have specially prepared a golden pill for you. After taking this pill, you will not feel hungry for several years. It is a pill that I have just refined."

What a piece of junk!

Bai Yu's lips twitched slightly, realizing he had gone too far and had actually been hoping for something.

They dare call a mere hunger-filling pill a 'golden elixir'?

Not wanting to reprimand it directly, Bai Yu grabbed the golden pill with a swift motion and said, "Haha, thank you, Fellow Daoist Ling Xuzi, I'll accept the golden pill."

"Come, offer Lingxuzi a seat."

They chatted, drank, and ate meat. Before long, a great demon said, "Mountain Lord, the food here is rather uninteresting. Do you have any other food?"

If I were to host a banquet at Zhujie Mountain, there would be someone to eat at every meal, and everyone could choose what they wanted to eat.

"Since you, like Fellow Daoist Ling Xuzi, do not eat people, I will not provide you with any food. Others, however, may eat people if they wish."

This was a bamboo viper that had become a spirit, and as soon as it spoke these words, it immediately received a response from the other great demons.

With a slight frown, Bai Yu replied, "Brother Zhu, you may not know this, but there is a rule in my mountain that we don't eat people, so why would I specially prepare people for you all?"

"You all seem to be not enjoying your meal, which makes me, the host, look impolite..."

With a quick glance around, Bai Yu continued, "Well then, since you all aren't quite satisfied with the meal, why don't we go out and have a feast?"

"What do you mean?" a powerful demon immediately asked.

Bai Yu chuckled and said, "Everyone says that there are no treasures in Mochou Dragon Palace. We are all monsters on the shore. I'm sure many of you have never eaten monsters from the water, right?"

Speaking of crabs, when they're fried, they're crispy and delicious, and eating them whole is also...

He described a whole series of ways to eat crabs, making all the monsters drool.

Bai Yu was just about to encourage them to go to the sea and cause some trouble so he could take advantage of the situation when a sober demon suddenly appeared.

The bamboo viper was quite clear-headed. It said, "No, no, that sea is the territory of the Dragon Palace. Although you and I are mountain kings, if we dare to offend the crab demons of the Dragon Palace, we might face an attack from the Dragon Palace's troops."

"You and I are merely minor True Immortals. The Dragon Palace alone has countless Golden Immortals. Are you courting death?"

Upon hearing this, the demons immediately became much more alert.

"Cowardly scoundrels." Muttering to himself, Bai Yu added, "Hahaha, Brother Zhuye, you're overthinking it. We're just going to hunt a few stray crabs. Does the Dragon King even care about that?"

Bamboo Leaf Green added, "How can I not care? I used to have a water snake brother who wanted to try something new, just like the Mountain Lord. But after only a few days, the Crab General from the Dragon Palace came to his door, saying that he had eaten the Crab General's offspring."

Bai Yu's lips twitched slightly.

What the hell is this Crab General? A crab actually has a background?

It's all for naught; it seems these cowardly scoundrels won't dare to try.

The level is still a bit low. If it were a group of Golden Immortals and Demon Kings, I guess I wouldn't be afraid.

I was even thinking of stealing a suit of armor as imposing as the monkey's, but these powerful demons won't take the bait. I'll think about it again when I break through my cultivation level and have more magical power.

During the meal, Bai Yu and Ling Xuzi chatted happily, with Bai Yu subtly inquiring about the Black Bear Spirit.

That guy is a real tough guy.
