Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

"Thanks to you, I'm still alive." The woman named Tamamo-no-Mae covered her mouth and chuckled, her voice charming and alluring. "Oh, who is this young man...?" Only then did she notice Zhu Feifei following behind, a sly glint in her eyes.

“This is my…assistant, Zhu Feifei,” Yukishiro Chihiro introduced.

"Assistant? I think he's more like a gigolo!" Tamamo-no-Mae sized Zhu Feifei up and down, her eyes full of mockery. "He's quite handsome, but his taste..."

She pointed to Zhu Feifei's wrinkled clothes and said, "Tsk tsk, what a waste of that face!"

"Hey! You vixen, who are you calling a gigolo!"

Zhu Feifei was immediately displeased upon hearing this, and put his hands on his hips and puffed out his chest, trying to show off his masculinity, "I, Old Zhu, am a real man! If you keep talking nonsense, believe me, I'll... cough cough, punch you to pieces!"

"Oh ho? You're pretty fierce!" Tamamo-no-Mae wasn't angry at all; instead, she laughed even harder. "Come, come, let your older sister see just how hard your fist is!" As she spoke, she actually leaned in and extended a slender finger, gently drawing circles on Zhu Feifei's chest.

"Hey...hey...don't do anything rash!" Zhu Feifei panicked instantly, his face turning bright red, like a monkey's bottom. He'd never been teased like this by a female vixen before!

"Hehehe... Look at you, such a coward!" Tamamo-no-Mae laughed so hard she almost fell over. "Alright, alright, I won't tease you anymore. So, what brings you here?"

"I'm asking you, has anything strange happened in Tokyo lately? Like, a popular idol disappearing or something..." Chihiro Yukishiro got straight to the point.

“Strange things? All sorts of strange things happen in Tokyo every day. Which one are you talking about?” Tamamo-no-Mae said as she led them into the bar.

The bar was dimly lit and decorated in an exotic style, with various strange smells filling the air. Some oddly shaped creatures sat at the bar drinking and chatting, casting curious glances at Yukishiro Chihiro and Zhu Feifei as they entered.

“I’m talking about the disappearance of Minako Aso,” Chihiro Yukishiro emphasized.

"Oh? You mean her..." Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes sharpened, then she regained her charming smile. "I know about this, but... information comes at a high price!"

"How much?" Zhu Feifei asked first, not wanting to miss any opportunity for gossip.

“Money? I don’t accept such vulgar things.” Tamamo-no-Mae shook her head. “What I want is you…” She pointed at Zhu Feifei, a sly glint in her eyes, “I want you to have a drink with me!”

"Huh?!" Zhu Feifei was dumbfounded. "That's it?"

"What? You don't want to?" Tamamo-no-Mae raised an eyebrow. "If you don't want to, then please leave!"

"No, no, no! I'll drink it! I'll drink it, okay?!" Zhu Feifei quickly said, afraid of missing some important information. He thought to himself, "It's just a drink, it won't kill me, will it?"

“That’s more like it.” Tamamo-no-Mae nodded in satisfaction, then snapped her fingers. “Someone, bring this young man a glass of our signature drink—'Dream Kiss'!”

"Alright!" A waiter with a lizard head replied and scurried off to mix the drinks.

"Hehe, young man, this 'Dreamy Kiss' is our shop's signature drink. I wouldn't just give it to anyone else!" Tamamo-no-Mae winked at Zhu Feifei. "You'd better enjoy it!"

Looking at Tamamo-no-Mae's alluring smile, Zhu Feifei felt a little uneasy. But he still forced a nod and said, "Don't worry, I, Old Zhu, have a very high alcohol tolerance!"

"Is that so? Then I'll wait and see!" Tamamo-no-Mae said, turning to Yukishiro Chihiro and saying, "Chihiro, don't just sit there. What would you like to drink? Order whatever you like! It's on me today!"

"I don't need it," Chihiro Yukishiro said coldly. "I have important business to attend to."

"Sigh, how boring." Tamamo-no-Mae sighed, then poured herself a glass of wine and took a small sip.

Soon, the lizard-headed waiter brought over a colorful cocktail and placed it in front of Zhu Feifei.

"Sir, please enjoy your 'Dream Kiss'!"

Zhu Feifei looked at the cocktail in front of her, which emitted a strange aroma, and felt a little apprehensive. Could she really drink this?

"What? You don't dare to drink anymore?" Tamamo-no-Mae fanned the flames from the side.

"What a joke! I, Old Zhu, am not the kind of coward who would back down a fight!" Zhu Feifei gritted his teeth, picked up his wine glass, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Impressive drinking capacity!" Tamamo-no-Mae clapped her hands in praise.

"Hiccup... This wine... is really... really good..." Zhu Feifei hiccuped, feeling a warm current rising from her lower abdomen, making her whole body feel warm.

"Hehe, this 'Dream Kiss' is brewed with ninety-nine kinds of rare spiritual fruits. Not only does it taste delicious, but it can also enhance your power!" Tamamo-no-Mae said with a smile.

"Enhance your power? Really?" Zhu Feifei's eyes lit up, feeling as if she had struck gold.

"Of course it's true, see for yourself if you don't believe me." Tamamo-no-Mae pointed to Zhu Feifei's stomach.

Zhu Feifei looked down and was immediately startled. Her stomach was swollen like a balloon and was still growing!

"Oh my god! What's going on?!" Zhu Feifei screamed in terror, "I...I'm going to...Is it going to explode?!"

"Hahaha..." Seeing Zhu Feifei's panicked look, Tamamo-no-Mae laughed so hard she almost fell over. "Idiot, this is a normal reaction! You ate too much! You'll be fine after you digest!"

"I ate...too much?!" Zhu Feifei then realized that he had indeed eaten a lot of roasted chicken skin and drunk a large glass of cocktail, so it was normal for his stomach to feel bloated now.

"Hahaha! You idiot!" Little White Ringwraith was also laughing hysterically in Zhu Feifei's mind. "This is so embarrassing!"

"What are you laughing at! Hurry up and help me think of a solution!" Zhu Feifei roared inwardly.

"Calm down, calm down. You're 60% full now. Just stay elegant, and you'll soon be back to your handsome self," Xiaobai said slowly.

"Huh? Only 60% full? Where did the remaining 40% go?" Zhu Feifei asked subconsciously.

"Idiot! You absorbed the energy from that 'Dream Kiss'! Not only did you recover your strength, but you also improved your cultivation. You're definitely not at a loss!" Xiaobai explained with exasperation.

"Really? Then wouldn't I have turned misfortune into blessing?" Zhu Feifei asked with some doubt.

"That's right! You should be secretly happy! Now, shut up right now and stop embarrassing yourself!" Xiaobai said angrily.

Just then, Tamamo-no-Mae's expression suddenly changed. She stood up abruptly, her kimono fluttering without wind, and a powerful demonic aura burst forth.

"Tamamo-no-Mae, what are you doing?!" Yukishiro Chihiro also stood up, staring sharply at Tamamo-no-Mae.

"Chihiro, hurry! 'She' is here!" Tamamo-no-Mae didn't answer Yukishiro Chihiro, but urged her anxiously.

"'She'? Who is 'she'?!" Chihiro Yukishiro was completely bewildered.

"There's no time to explain! Let's go!" Tamamo-no-Mae said, grabbing Yukishiro Chihiro's hand and pulling her away.

Just then, the bar door was suddenly kicked open with a bang, and a woman wearing a black bodysuit and a black veil walked in.

"Tamamo-no-Mae, where do you think you're going!" The woman in black's voice was icy, with a hint of mockery.

“Nightingale!” Tamamo-no-Mae’s expression changed drastically when she saw the newcomer. “What are you doing here?!”

"Hmph! Why can't I be here?" Nightingale sneered. "I'm here, of course, to...clean house!"

"Clean house? What do you mean?!" Chihiro Yukishiro questioned.

"Nightingale" did not answer Yukishiro Chihiro, but turned her gaze to Tamamo-no-Mae: "Tamamo-no-Mae, as an elder of the Demon Alliance, you have colluded with outsiders and leaked the secrets of the Demon Alliance. You deserve to die!"

"I didn't!" Tamamo-no-Mae vehemently denied it. "Don't make false accusations!"

"Whether it is or not, you know it in your heart!" Nightingale said, a sharp dagger suddenly appearing in her hand. "Today, I will eliminate you, this traitor, for the Demon Alliance!"

After saying that, Nightingale flashed and transformed into a black shadow, rushing towards Tamamo-no-Mae.

"Watch out!" Yukishiro Chihiro exclaimed, trying to step forward to stop her, but was pushed away by Tamamo-no-Mae.

"Chihiro, run! It's dangerous here!" Tamamo-no-Mae said, her demonic aura surging as she engaged in a fierce battle with "Nightingale".

"What...what on earth is going on?!" Zhu Feifei watched in disbelief, never expecting things to develop like this.

"Don't just stand there! Let's go!" Yukishiro Chihiro grabbed Zhu Feifei and started to run outside.

"Want to leave? Not so easy!" Nightingale sneered, and the dagger in her hand suddenly flew out, turning into a black streak of light and shooting towards Yukishiro Chihiro.

"Watch out!" Zhu Feifei shouted, and without thinking, she stood in front of Yukishiro Chihiro.

With a soft "thud," the dagger pierced Zhu Feifei's chest.

"Feifei!" Yukishiro Chihiro exclaimed and quickly helped Zhu Feifei up.

"I...I'm fine..." Zhu Feifei felt a sharp pain in his chest, but he still endured the pain and said to Yukishiro Chihiro, "You...you should go quickly..."

"No! I won't leave you!" Yukishiro Chihiro said, tears welling in her eyes, as she hugged Zhu Feifei tightly.

"Hahaha... How touching!" Nightingale laughed loudly upon seeing this. "Since you two are so reluctant to part, then I'll send you on your way together!"

After saying that, "Nightingale" charged towards Zhu Feifei and Yukishiro Chihiro again.

"Damn it! Looks like I have no choice but to use that trick!" Seeing this, Zhu Feifei gritted her teeth, put the nine-bead bracelet on her wrist, and then shouted, "Nine-toothed rake! Appear!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the nine-bead bracelet shone brightly with golden light and instantly transformed into a giant nine-toothed rake.

"Take this from Old Zhu!" Zhu Feifei raised his nine-toothed rake and smashed it towards "Nightingale".

"A mere trick!" Nightingale sneered disdainfully, dodging the attack of the Nine-Toothed Rake with a swift movement.

"Holy crap! She dodged that?!" Zhu Feifei nearly popped her eyes out of their sockets. "This woman is amazing!"

"You idiot! Why don't you transform? What's the use of using the Nine-Toothed Rake?!" Little White Ringwraith roared angrily from the side.

"Oh right! How could I forget that!" Zhu Feifei slapped her forehead and quickly put away the nine-toothed rake.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Seeing that Zhu Feifei had put away his weapon, "Nightingale" thought he was going to escape and quickly gave chase.

Just then, Zhu Feifei suddenly stopped, turned around, and grinned at "Nightingale".

"Hehe, time for dinner!"

After saying that, he actually started to unbuckle his belt!

"What...what are you going to do?!" Nightingale was startled by Zhu Feifei's actions and quickly stopped, asking warily.

"Hehe, you'll find out soon enough!" Zhu Feifei said, pulling her pants down...
