We bear people have power

The two children had their hair tied in buns and looked to be no more than seven or eight years old. However, their appearances were somewhat peculiar; one had a single, yellowish horn on his head, while the other had two small, whitish horns.

It doesn't look particularly ferocious; in fact, its round and plump appearance is rather cute.

If a normal child has horns, it's usually a sign of illness or a congenital deformity, but these two children are clearly much healthier than average. Most seven- or eight-year-olds wouldn't be playing with millstone-sized stones like this, throwing them around as toys.

These two children must be the offspring of Princess Baihuaxiu and the Yellow Robe Monster. Their half-human, half-demon bloodline is naturally extraordinary.

Guan Bo pondered that if he went directly to the Yellow Robe Monster and asked him to release Princess Baihuaxiu back to the court, he would probably get a good beating, and might even get a terrible beating.

Therefore, it would be better to take a roundabout approach and inquire from them in a different manner.

Guan Bo thought to himself that children are all innocent and cute, and maybe he could get some information out of them, so he went up to the two little ones and asked, "Little friends, what are you playing?"

The two boys glanced at Guan Bo, and the one-horned boy spoke first: "Who are you, and what brings you to our house?"

"I was just passing by buying soy sauce," Guan Bo said casually.

"Soy sauce? Who is soy sauce? Why are you hitting him?" the one-horned boy asked.

Suppressing the pain in his testicles, Guan Bo explained, "Soy sauce is just a condiment. It's salty, and eating too much of it isn't good, but adding a little to your meal makes it taste really good."

Upon hearing Guan Bo's words, the two-horned boy asked, "Then... do you have any soy sauce on you? Could I try some?"

Guan Bo wondered if the Yellow Robe Monster had been feeding this child raw meat since he was a child.

Although the one-horned boy also looked greedy, he still spoke to the two-horned boy in the tone of an older brother: "Little brother, Mother said not to eat anything given by strangers. Otherwise, you will be kidnapped, have your arms and legs broken, and be made a beggar."

Guan Bo glanced at the millstone that had been thrown three zhang away and thought to himself that any human trafficker who had kidnapped you two would be incredibly unlucky. He figured it was the trafficker who had his limbs broken, not these two brothers.

“Since that’s the case, I’ll tell you my name so we’re not strangers. My name is Guan Bo, and I’m the guardian deity of Luojia Mountain.” Guan Bo quickly introduced himself, trying to impress everyone.

Upon hearing this, the one-horned boy scratched his head and said, "Guan Bo? I think I've heard that name before."

The two-horned boy chimed in, "It seems so, I heard my father mention it."

Guan Bo wondered if the news of him beating up the Giant Spirit God on Black Wind Mountain not long ago had already spread.

The Yellow-Robed Monster of the Wave Moon Cave in Wanzishan was originally the celestial star Kui Mulang descended to earth. Therefore, the news that reached his ears was mostly related to the gods of the Heavenly Palace.

After much thought, Guan Bo concluded that beating up the Giant Spirit God and stealing his magic weapon, the Xuan Tie Mountain, was something that could be considered somewhat famous.

At this moment, Guan Bo was unaware that the question he posed to Hei Wuchang had already alarmed the Three Realms. Not to mention Kui Mulang, almost everyone who wasn't a reclusive immortal or demon who had been in seclusion for thousands of years had heard of his name.

Guan Bo didn't think much of it and simply tried to build rapport, saying, "Since you've all heard of me, we're not exactly strangers. Um, I don't have any soy sauce on me, but I do have two candied hawthorns. Would you like some?"

Guan Bo took out two candied hawthorns from his robes, which were originally meant to appease Lingxiu. But now she was covered in fur and crying so much that she didn't even have the strength to eat.

The allure of candied hawthorn berries is undeniable for children, and even though the two kids were half-demons, they couldn't resist the sweet temptation.

The unicorn boy took a bite of a hawthorn and was immediately captivated by its sweet and sour taste.

After chewing for a while, he spat out some wood chips and said, "This fruit tastes really good, and it grows in a bunch, which is quite interesting. But why is the pit shaped like a stick, and it tastes like dregs? That's strange."

Guan Bo's lips twitched. This boy had managed to break off a section of the wooden stick in one bite. He really had good teeth.

The two-horned boy was more delicate. He had just bitten off half a hawthorn when he heard what his brother said, so he wisely didn't touch the stick and only ate the fruit.

Seeing that the two were eating with great relish, Guan Bo quickly asked, "I have something to ask you. I heard that there is a hero in this cave called the Yellow Robe Monster who drove away the monk who was traveling west. Is that true?"

"That's our father, he's amazing!" The one-horned boy finished his candied hawthorn in a few bites and then said to Guan Bo.

"Oh, since your father is so capable, your mother must have been an extraordinary person as well?" Guan Bo asked.

"I don't know. My mother only taught us to read and never showed any special skills. I also don't know who my maternal grandparents are," the one-horned boy replied.

"These two kids are quite honest," Guan Bo thought to himself.

However, judging from their answers, Princess Baihua Xiu must have harbored resentment towards the Yellow Robe Monster for taking her away, otherwise she wouldn't have concealed her origins from her child.

The key to this matter is how to successfully send Princess Baihuaxiu back to Baoxiang Kingdom without letting the Yellow Robe Monster come knocking on their door and causing trouble.

"As the saying goes, even an upright official finds it hard to judge family matters; only a neighborhood committee auntie can handle this." Guan Bo was pondering how to get into the mode of a neighborhood committee auntie when he saw the door to the cave open.

A small demon with a blue face and fangs called out to the two boys, "Young masters, come back quickly! The king and his wife are arguing again."

No sooner had she shouted than she noticed Guan Bo standing nearby. The little demon demanded sharply, "Who are you? What brings you to my Wave Moon Cave?"

Without Guan Bo needing to explain, the one-horned boy said, "Don't be rude. Guan Bo is the guardian deity of Luojia Mountain and our friend."

Guan Bo breathed a sigh of relief; those two strings of candied hawthorns hadn't been a waste after all.

"Oh, so you're a friend of the young master. My apologies." The little demon had no other intentions and apologized to Guan Bo with a blank expression.

In the world of Journey to the West, most of the lesser demons are not very intelligent; otherwise, they wouldn't be so easily fooled by Monkey King's little tricks, and they wouldn't end up in all sorts of self-destructive situations.

Therefore, this little demon believed everything the two boys said.

Therefore, Guan Bo easily followed the two boys into the cave.

However, as they walked, Guan Bo's appearance was too similar to that of an ordinary mortal, which frequently attracted questions from the little demons. Guan Bo simply revealed his true form, transforming into a panda slightly smaller than a normal brown bear, and followed behind the two children.

This didn't attract much attention; people just assumed that the two young masters had found a cute and cuddly-looking pet.

"I never expected you to look like this. To be honest, you look much better than before."

"That's right, that's right, I wish I could raise a black and white bear like that."

The two boys played with Guan Bo all the way, and were eventually led to the Yellow Robe Monster's location.

After passing through several corridors, they arrived at a larger room. The two boys jumped down from Guan Bo's furry back and looked directly at their father outside the door, saying, "Dad, you're here again..."

Dear readers, please pay attention to the term "eye level".

These two children were only seven or eight years old and not particularly tall, while the Yellow Robe Monster was... why do we say they were at eye level?

This yellow-robed monster was quite something: a face of indigo blue, white fangs, and a gaping maw that raked incessantly. His unkempt sideburns were dyed with rouge; three or four towering purple mustaches resembled lychee buds. His parrot-like nose was arched, and his eyes, like the first rays of dawn, were pleading. His two fists resembled a monk's alms bowl; his blue feet were like those of a cliff face. He wore a pale yellow robe draped diagonally, more magnificent than a brocade cassock.

Judging from his appearance, he must be a dignified man of at least seven feet tall.

But now, when he looks into the eyes of his two sons, he can't tell who is better.

There was no other reason than that he was kneeling, right outside the door.
