Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

The spacetime vortex was like a greedy maw, swallowing Zhu Feifei whole.

He was enveloped by powerful energy, traversing through bizarre and fantastical time tunnels, with countless shattered scenes flashing before his eyes.

The interplay of colorful light and shadow was dazzling, like a kaleidoscope. Zhu Feifei felt her body being stretched and compressed, every cell screaming.

Suddenly, a familiar scene came into view, and Zhu Feifei's heart tightened.

He saw Moonlight Elder and Starshine Elder, as well as all the Eldar, who were fighting desperately against the Interstellar Federation's attack. The Eldar city was engulfed in flames, and explosions echoed everywhere.

Yue Ling's long silver hair fluttered in the wind as she held a lightsaber, commanding the Elven warriors to resist the invasion with heroic grace.

"Yueling!" Zhu Feifei screamed in anguish, trying to break free from the shackles of time and space and return to her side. However, no matter how desperately he struggled, the powerful vortex of time and space was like a merciless iron chain, binding him firmly and rendering him unable to move.

He watched helplessly as the Eldar city collapsed in the blazing flames, smoke and dust billowing everywhere. The figures of Moonlit and Elder Starshine gradually blurred and disappeared into the rolling flames.

His heart felt like it was being torn apart, a mix of pain and rage, his blood churning within him. Zhu Feifei suddenly felt the power within him begin to spiral out of control. Fury burned within him, his body rapidly swelled, his hair grew quickly, and fangs emerged from the corners of his mouth. In the blink of an eye, he had reverted to his familiar pig-headed appearance.

Zhu Feifei felt the surging energy within him, his heart filled with despair and anger. He couldn't accept watching Yue Ling and the Spirit Clan fall into danger while he was powerless to help.

"Little White! Little White! Take me back! I need to save Yue Ling!" Zhu Feifei, now in pig form, frantically called out for the Moonlight Ring, trying to summon the ring spirit, Little White. His voice was filled with anxiety and pleading, like a drowning person grasping at the last straw.

"Idiot! Calm down! You can't control the power of spacetime in your current state!" The voice of the Ringwraith, tinged with anxiety, echoed in Zhu Feifei's mind. "Moreover, forcibly interfering with the order of spacetime will bring unpredictable consequences!"

Xiaobai's voice carried a hint of helplessness and worry. She knew Zhu Feifei's feelings at that moment, but she also understood the disastrous consequences that rash action might bring.

"I don't care! I can't abandon Yue Ling!" Zhu Feifei roared, her voice filled with despair and pain. "Please think of something, Xiao Bai! I beg you!"

The spirit Xiaobai sensed Zhu Feifei's despair and pain. She knew that if she couldn't help him, he might collapse. Xiaobai fell into a brief silence, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Finally, Little White made a decision. "Alright, I'll give it a try." Little White took a deep breath, his tone becoming serious and firm. "But Zhu Feifei, you must remember, no matter what happens, never forget your mission."

Xiao Bai mobilized the last bit of energy in the Moonlight Ring and struggled to tear a crack in the time tunnel. Blinding white light burst forth from the crack, illuminating the entire time tunnel.

"Go inside, you idiot!" The Ringwraith's voice was incredibly weak, as if it might disappear at any moment. "This is my last bit of energy! Remember, wherever you are, stay true to yourself!"

Without hesitation, Zhu Feifei plunged into the spatial rift, disappearing into the endless darkness. The moment he entered the rift, he seemed to hear Yue Ling's distant and indistinct call: "Zhu Feifei, I'll wait for you to come back..."

……

Zhu Feifei awoke in a daze, the soft touch of the Egyptian cotton sheets instantly waking him up. He slowly opened his eyes, and a spacious, luxurious bedroom came into view. The crystal chandelier on the ceiling reflected the morning light, casting dappled starlight into the room.

He rose and walked to the French windows, drawing back the heavy velvet curtains. The sight before him took his breath away: a meticulously manicured French garden stretched out before him, and in the distance, the skyline of a bustling city stretched out, skyscrapers gleaming in the morning sun. Zhu Feifei then realized that he was in a luxury mansion located in an upscale villa district.

Somewhat confused, he turned to the full-length mirror in the corner of the room. The image in the mirror startled him—it was as if he saw another person.

His short, thick, jet-black hair was slightly messy yet stylish. Beneath his sharply angled, handsome eyebrows were a pair of deep, unfathomable black eyes, which seemed to contain endless wisdom and sharpness. His thin lips were tightly pressed together, and his angular features outlined a handsome face that could make countless women fall for him.

Zhu Feifei unconsciously touched his face, feeling this unfamiliar yet familiar body. His gaze continued downwards, and he saw that the person in the mirror had a tall and slender figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with a bare upper body showing a perfect inverted triangle body and an enviable eight-pack.

He exudes an indescribable charm, possessing both the composure of a mature man and a touch of untamed wildness, like a lurking black panther, ready to strike at any moment in the jungle of the business world.

"Is...is this really me?" Zhu Feifei murmured to himself, his fingertips lightly touching the mirror, as if to confirm that this was not a dream. His eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief, yet also with a hint of excitement.

Just then, a familiar but weak voice rang in his mind.

"Heh, you stinky pighead, finally awake!" The Ringwraith White's voice carried a hint of teasing, but more so, it betrayed his unconcealed exhaustion. "Looks like you're still not quite used to your new identity."

Zhu Feifei was stunned for a moment, then quickly asked, "Xiaobai! What exactly is going on? Where are we? Where are Yue Ling and the Spirit Clan?" A series of questions came out of his mouth, his voice filled with anxiety and worry.

Xiao Bai sighed, "Calm down, you idiot. We're in modern society on Earth now, and you're a powerful figure in this world—a genuine domineering CEO."

"What? A domineering CEO?" Zhu Feifei looked at herself in the mirror again in disbelief, her brows furrowed. "What about Yue Ling and the others..."

"Don't worry," Xiaobai quickly reassured her, "I've already checked through the Eye of Time and Space. Yue Ling and the Spirit Clan are safe and sound under the protection of the Tree of Life. They successfully repelled the enemy and defended their homeland. Everything is fine now."

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Feifei felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders, his tense body instantly relaxing. He subconsciously touched the teardrop necklace on his chest; the glistening teardrops shimmered softly in the morning light, as if carrying thoughts and blessings from distant interstellar space.

"That's wonderful..." Zhu Feifei said softly, her eyes welling up with tears, her voice filled with gratitude. "But, Xiaobai, why did we come here? When can I go back to Yueling's side?"

Xiao Bai's voice turned serious. "Zhu Feifei, listen. You have a mission to save the Three Realms. You can't let personal feelings get the better of you. You need to complete Guanyin's task before I can take you back to see them. And this task..." She paused, seemingly choosing her words carefully, "...can be said to be the biggest challenge you face."

Zhu Feifei took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the bustling city below, his gaze becoming firm and profound. "Speak, Xiaobai. I'm ready."

Xiao Bai slowly explained, "Your mission target is a woman named Su Bing. She is the city's top businesswoman, a cold and domineering female CEO. In the business world, she is invincible and your strongest rival."

"She sounds like a tough character," Zhu Feifei said thoughtfully, her brow furrowing slightly. "How should I deal with her?"

"This is the key to the mission," Xiaobai's voice held a hint of mystery, "Su Bing appears cold as ice on the surface, but is exceptionally fragile inside. She is actually the reincarnation of a scorpion demon, and your mission is to move her with sincere emotions, to make her shed genuine tears for you."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Feifei couldn't help but gasp. "The reincarnation of the Scorpion Demon? This is truly a tricky task." A hint of worry flashed in his eyes. "How can I compete with her in the business world, and at the same time, find a way to win her heart?"

Xiao Bai encouraged him, "This requires you to use your wisdom and sincerity. Remember, although your appearance has changed, your heart is still that of a silly pig who bravely forges ahead for love. Use your sincerity to complete this task."

Zhu Feifei remained silent for a moment, then his gaze hardened. He gently touched the teardrop necklace on his chest, as if silently swearing an oath to Yue Ling in the distance: "I understand, Xiao Bai. No matter how difficult this mission is, I will do my utmost. For Yue Ling, for the Spirit Clan, for the peace of the Three Realms."

Having said that, he strode towards the dressing room. It was filled with all sorts of expensive suits and handcrafted leather shoes. Zhu Feifei chose a dark gray three-piece suit, paired with a dark blue silk tie, looking every bit the successful businessman.

When he stood in front of the mirror again, the man in the mirror exuded an aura of quiet authority. Zhu Feifei took a deep breath, her eyes flashing with determination: "Alright, it's time to meet this President Su."

Just then, a respectful knock sounded at the door. Zhu Feifei responded and went out to see a capable-looking middle-aged man waiting outside.

"Good morning, Mr. Zhu," the butler said respectfully, his voice steady and firm. "Your schedule for today is set. There's an important project meeting at 9:00 AM, and at 2:00 PM you have a crucial business negotiation with Mr. Su from the Su Group."

Zhu Feifei nodded slightly, her voice low and firm: "I understand. Prepare the car, we'll set off now."

Sitting in the back seat of the Maybach, Zhu Feifei gazed out the window at the endless stream of cars and towering skyscrapers, her mind filled with countless thoughts.

Su Bing, the reincarnation of the Scorpion Demon, is a woman invincible in the business world yet incredibly vulnerable in matters of the heart. How can I navigate the treacherous waters of the business world while simultaneously winning your heart in everyday life?

His hand unconsciously went to the teardrop necklace on his chest. Zhu Feifei knew this would be an unprecedented challenge.

He must both play the role of a domineering CEO, navigating the business world with skill and charm, and melt a seemingly unbreakable heart with genuine affection. All of this is for the sake of one day returning to Yue Ling's side.

In this urban jungle, amidst the intertwined journey of love and business warfare, people are easily lost and vulnerable.

Even God is no exception.
