Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

Zhu Feifei, now with a pig's head, hid in a corner of the Spirit Fruit Garden, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground. He regretted his gluttony while praying that Fairy Zixia would not appear.

However, what are you afraid of?

"Who's there?!" A clear, cold voice came from afar. Zhu Feifei's heart tightened. He knew that Fairy Zixia had arrived.

He hurriedly hid behind a huge spirit tree, trying to conceal himself, but he was too big to hide at all.

Zixia Fairy walked slowly, wearing a white dress that fluttered in the wind, like a fairy descending from the heavens. Her cool temperament exuded a hint of majesty, making people dare not look directly at her.

She looked around, her gaze finally settling on the spirit tree, a meaningful smile playing on her lips.

"Come out, I know where you're hiding," Fairy Zixia said calmly.

Knowing he couldn't hide any longer, Zhu Feifei had no choice but to steel himself and emerge from behind the tree. He lowered his head, not daring to look Zixia Fairy in the eye, his plump body trembling slightly, his heart filled with shame and unease.

"Disciple... greets Master..." Zhu Feifei said in a low voice, her voice trembling slightly.

Zixia Fairy looked at the enormous wild boar in front of her, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"Are you Zhu Yixian, the newly initiated disciple?" she asked, her tone devoid of any emotion.

Zhu Feifei nodded, not daring to speak.

"Why did it turn out like this?" Fairy Zixia continued to ask.

Zhu Feifei stammered out the story of how his greed for spiritual fruit had led to his transformation. His voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

After listening to him, Fairy Zixia did not blame him. She simply said, "Greed is human nature, but as a cultivator, one should restrain one's desires. Otherwise, it is easy to go astray."

Zhu Feifei felt ashamed and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Alright, come with me now," said Fairy Zixia, turning and walking towards the main hall.

Zhu Feifei hurriedly followed, feeling uneasy, wondering how Fairy Zixia would deal with him.

Just then, a series of urgent bell tolls suddenly resounded throughout Zixia Peak, breaking the tranquility of the mountains.

"Not good! A demonic beast is attacking!" Fairy Zixia's expression changed, and she said in a deep voice, "All disciples, follow me to meet the enemy!"

Before she finished speaking, she transformed into a streak of purple light and flew towards the mountain gate.

Seeing this, Zhu Feifei disregarded her embarrassment and quickly followed.

"You idiot, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and help!" Little White's voice rang in my ears. "This is your chance to shine, so make the most of it!"

Zhu Feifei took a deep breath, gripped the nine-bead bracelet in her hand, and thought to herself, "For Bai Ruoxue, for completing the mission, I'll give it my all!"

He activated his "Swift Wind Step" divine power, transforming into a golden light and flying towards the mountain gate.

A deafening roar echoed through the valley. When Zhu Feifei arrived at the mountain gate, she saw a group of various monstrous beasts frantically attacking the protective array of the Qingyun Sect. The disciples of the Qingyun Sect fought back fiercely, but the beasts were numerous and powerful, and many disciples were already injured.

Blood stained the pristine white gates of the Qingyun Sect, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and demonic beasts. Screams and roars mingled together, creating a scene of utter chaos.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhu Feifei was instantly enraged. Ignoring his current pig-headed appearance, he brandished the nine-toothed rake transformed from his nine-bead bracelet and charged into the beast horde, slaughtering everything in his path.

"Eat my old pig's rake!" Zhu Feifei roared, and his nine-toothed rake swept out with immense force, smashing several smaller demonic beasts away.

"Awooo!" A huge wolf-shaped monster pounced on Zhu Feifei, its sharp claws and teeth gleaming coldly.

Zhu Feifei remained calm and activated his "Indestructible Vajra" divine power, causing a golden light shield to appear on his body, blocking all the wolf-shaped monster's attacks.

"A mere trick!" Zhu Feifei sneered, swinging his nine-toothed rake and smashing it hard on the wolf-shaped monster's head.

With a loud "bang," the wolf-shaped monster let out a miserable cry, fell to the ground, struggled a few times, and then went still.

Zhu Feifei advanced with unstoppable momentum, quickly killing several demonic beasts and relieving much of the pressure on the Qingyun Sect disciples.

"Wow! This pig-headed monster is incredibly powerful!"

"Is he really a new disciple? How can he possess such formidable strength?"

The disciples of Qingyun Sect were all amazed. They had originally ridiculed Zhu Feifei's transformation, but now they were filled with admiration for him.

Fairy Zixia also noticed Zhu Feifei's performance, and a hint of appreciation flashed in her beautiful eyes.

"This Zhu Yixian, although a bit gluttonous, is kind-hearted and quite capable; he's a promising talent," she thought to herself.

Just then, a huge bear-shaped monster suddenly rushed out from the herd, waving its massive paws and slapping towards Zhu Feifei.

"Watch out!" Fairy Zixia exclaimed and quickly came to her aid.

With a light wave of her hand, a purple sword aura shot out and struck the bear-shaped monster's paw. However, the bear-shaped monster was tough and only suffered a minor injury. It roared and continued to charge towards Zhu Feifei.

Seeing the bear-shaped monster approaching aggressively, Zhu Feifei dared not confront it head-on. He quickly dodged and swung his nine-toothed rake to attack the bear-shaped monster's weak points.

However, the bear-shaped monster had thick hide and flesh, so Zhu Feifei's attacks had limited effect on it.

"Xiaobai, what should we do? This beast is too powerful!" Zhu Feifei asked anxiously.

"You idiot, don't you know how to use 'Heavenly Blazing Flames'? Didn't you say you wanted to test its power?" Little White Ringwraith reminded him.

“But… I’m afraid of hurting my own people…” Zhu Feifei hesitated.

"Are you stupid! Can't you control the power?" Little White Ringwraith said with exasperation. "You just need to concentrate the flames on the rake and attack the monster's weak point."

Zhu Feifei suddenly realized what was going on, and he quickly followed Xiaobai's instructions to inject the "Burning Heaven Flame" divine power into the Nine-Toothed Rake.

In an instant, the nine-toothed rake burst into flames, radiating terrifyingly high temperatures.

"Take this 'Blazing Sky' strike!" Zhu Feifei roared, swinging his nine-toothed rake, which was burning with flames, and smashing it toward the head of the bear-shaped monster.

With a deafening boom, the bear-shaped monster's head was struck by the rake and burst into flames. It let out a shrill scream, collapsed to the ground, struggled a few times, and then turned to ashes.

Zhu Feifei breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the corpse of the bear-shaped monster.

"Phew...finally solved." He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.

"Well done, you idiot!" Little White Ringwraith rarely praised him.

Zhu Feifei smiled, then turned to look at the other disciples and found that they were all looking at her with awe.

"Junior Brother Zhu, you're amazing!"

"You're simply our hero!"

The disciples gathered around, expressing their gratitude and admiration for Zhu Feifei.

Looking into their sincere eyes, Zhu Feifei felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He knew that he had gradually integrated into this world of immortals and heroes, and had found new goals and meaning.

At this moment, Fairy Zixia walked over. She looked at Zhu Feifei with admiration in her eyes.

“Zhu Yixian, you did very well,” she said. “You are not only brave and fearless, but also compassionate. You are the pride of our Qingyun Sect.”

Zhu Feifei was overjoyed to receive praise from Fairy Zixia. He quickly replied, "This disciple dares not accept such praise; it is what this disciple should do."

Fairy Zixia smiled and said, "Alright, you should go and rest now. Leave the rest to us."

Zhu Feifei nodded, then turned and left. He didn't notice that Fairy Zixia's gaze followed his retreating figure, her eyes filled with complex emotions.
