Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 297 My Wife is Pretty Powerful

Chapter 297 My Wife is Pretty Powerful
Lion's Roar Mountain is majestic and towering, reaching into the sky. The mountain wind blows through the forest with a biting chill. The sound of pine waves rises and falls, echoing through the valleys, like the roar of ancient war drums.

Halfway up the Lion's Roar Mountain, a majestic palace stands tall. Its glazed tiles sparkle in the sun, like golden light shining brightly, as if the palace was covered with a mysterious and gorgeous coat.

This is the cave that the Lion King built in recent years - the "Lion's Roar Cave".

A unique "gourd banquet" was set up in the reception room.

This "gourd banquet" was naturally to celebrate their capture of the Yin gourd.

The table was filled with all kinds of delicacies.

The shiny roast suckling pig on the emerald green jade plate is mouth-watering; the steaming deer antler soup exudes an alluring aroma, as if it can instantly warm people's hearts; and the crystal clear crystal shrimps are so delicious and tasty that they are simply mouth-watering.

Wine is a must, of course. This wine is made from hundreds of mountain fruits and clear spring water, and is mellow and delicious with a long aftertaste.

The four demons, Demon King Kun, Demon King Jiao, Demon King Peng and King Jinjiao, sat together, each raising their glasses to drink, some laughing heartily, some talking in low voices, with laughter and joy continuing.

When the wine is in high spirits.

Demon King Kun came over, and patted Xiao Chen's shoulder gently with his huge hand. His eyes were full of admiration, and he raised his glass and smiled:

"Brother Jinjiao, you are really quite capable."

"This time, we were able to catch the Yin Gourd, thanks to you, Brother Jinjiao."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled modestly, waved his hand gently, raised his glass and drank with Demon King Kun:
"Brother Kun, you're welcome."

"If you hadn't restrained the Nine-headed Insect, Ao Mo'ang and other monsters at the beginning, I wouldn't have had this chance to succeed."

"This Yin Gourd is the result of the combined efforts of the four of us brothers. I, Jinjiao, just got a bargain."

Seeing this, the Demon King Jiao also raised his glass to congratulate:
"Jinjiao, we all saw it. This credit belongs to you, so it's yours."

“Don’t be modest.”

"Here, drink this cup to the full."

Demon King Peng also raised his glass and said loudly:
"Brother Jinjiao, I, Xiaopeng, would like to toast you as well."

"Come on, do it!"

The four demons raised their glasses together, the nectar in the glasses sparkled with an alluring luster in the sun, and they drank it all in one gulp.

For a moment, the living room was filled with the aroma of wine, and the laughter became even louder.

After everyone drank for a while, the topic naturally turned to the battle in Buzhou Yuan.

The Demon King Jiao put down his wine glass, frowned slightly, and said with a serious expression:

"This is the battle of Buzhouyuan."

"I didn't expect that the Bull Demon King from the Zitie lineage would suddenly come to help Jiuying's side."

“This is something we didn’t expect.”

"This Bull Demon King is quite powerful, so he may cause some trouble."

In the battle of Lion's Roar Mountain ten years ago, the Bull Demon King, the Lion King, the Golden Horn King and several other demons had joined forces to fight against Jiuying's side.

Monsters like the Jiao Demon King naturally knew that the Bull Demon King, the Lion King, and the Golden Horned King were familiar with each other.

The Jiao Demon King asked Xiao Chen:
"I remember that before, during the battle at Lion's Roar Mountain, the Bull Demon King had a fierce fight with the Nine Infants' faction."

"Have both sides resolved their conflict so quickly?"

After hearing this, Xiao Chen pondered for a moment and explained:

"My elder brother, the Bull Demon King, joined the Zitie lineage because Fei Ni was the middleman who introduced him to the lineage."

"Fei Ni played a role in mediating between the two."

"Perhaps both parties owe Fei Ni a favor, which is why the current situation has come about."

After the battle, the Bull Demon King did not come to Lion's Roar Mountain to look for him. Xiao Chen knew in his heart that this was obviously to avoid suspicion.

After all, the two sides' positions are different now.

The Bull Demon King, as the representative of the lineage of the Demon Saint Zitie, chose to help Jiuying.

And he, the King of Golden Horn, stood on the side of the Dragon Demon King, representing the Demon Master Palace.

However, Xiao Chen also knew in his heart that the Bull Demon King's help to Jiuying's side might not be just because he owed Fei Ni a favor.

The deeper reason may be the choice made by the Zitie lineage as a whole.

After all, there are irreconcilable conflicts between the Ten Demon Saints and the Demon Master Kunpeng.

It is not surprising that the Zitie Demon Saint lineage helped the Jiuying lineage to fight against the Demon Master Palace.

Now, as a descendant of the Chitie lineage, Bull Demon King has inherited the legacy of the Demon Saint Chitie and received benefits from him. Naturally, he has to stand on the side of Chitie and work for Chitie.

This is understandable.

Even more so, coming to help Jiuying's side to snatch the gourd might be the "letter of allegiance" of Bull Demon King to join the Chitie lineage.

Actually, both are possible.

However, Xiao Chen also knew very well that perhaps only Bull Demon King himself knew the specific reason behind the matter.

Every monster has its own path to follow.

Although Kunpeng is the master of all monsters, his strongest points are Feng Shui, which may not be applicable to the Bull Demon King.

To the Bull Demon King, the Demon Saint Zitie and his own clan are similar. Both clans have the blood of ferocious beasts, are of the ox family, and are both known for their strong physique and great power. The inheritance of the Demon Saint Zitie is undoubtedly the most suitable for him and will allow him to go further in the future.

In short, the Bull Demon King has now made his choice.

In the fight for the seven gourds, the Bull Demon King chose to stand on the side of the Demon Saint Jiuying, and was on the opposite side of him, the Golden Horned King, in the fight for the gourds.

Of course, there is no right or wrong in this matter. Although we are brothers, we are ultimately different individuals and we all have to plan for ourselves.

He always thinks of himself first and others later, and the same goes for the King of the Golden Horn.

Upon hearing this, the Jiao Demon King nodded and said:
"I see."

Demon King Kun took over the conversation, his expression solemn, and said slowly:
"At present, we have successfully seized a Yin Gourd, which is undoubtedly a great advantage for us."

"Next, we need to seize another Yang Gourd and one of the Five Elements Gourds."

"Or maybe you can achieve your goal by just taking an earthen gourd."

Demon King Kun paused, sorted out his thoughts, and continued to analyze:

"This time, although Ying Zhao's 'blindness' concealed the appearance of these seven gourds."

“But the spells of these three gourds still show certain tendencies of the five elements.”

"If this is a Yin gourd."

"Then the other gourd that Jiushou Qingjun got, the one that absorbs and spits out water, should be the water hyacinth."

"As for the gourd hidden on Buzhou Island."

Demon King Kun frowned, looking somewhat confused, and said:
"Is that gourd a golden gourd, a wooden gourd, an earthen gourd, or a yang gourd?"

"Right now, it's hard for us to judge. Only the Shangyang party who caught him will know."

Xiao Chen agreed with Demon King Kun's analysis and said:

"Indeed."

"The gourd didn't show any special signs. It is really difficult to judge its properties based on the current information."

The golden gourd, wooden gourd, earth gourd, yang gourd... I believe they all have some gold, wood, earth and even yang spells.

No matter whether it is gold escape, wood escape, or earth escape... they can all hide on Buzhou Island by taking advantage of the terrain of Buzhou Island. It is difficult to judge based on this information alone.

Demon King Kun heard this, raised his glass and chuckled:

"Whatever gourd that is, it doesn't really have much of an impact on us."

“After all, the Yin Gourd is already in our hands, which means that our business is already halfway successful.”

"Anyway, next time, no matter what the gourd is."

"We should all try to catch as many as possible."

Upon hearing this, the Jiao Demon King laughed and said:
"exactly!"

"Come, Golden Horn, have another drink."

Xiao Chen raised his glass and drank with the three monsters.

However, as the banquet progressed, Peng Demon King seemed a little depressed. He sat alone, looking lonely, the wine glass in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and he drank silently. His eyes drifted away from time to time, as if he was recalling the battle that failed.

The Demon King Peng had already caught the gourd, but unexpectedly the gourd slipped out of his hand and was lost.

In this battle, Demon King Peng suffered a setback.

After all, Demon King Peng is still a little Peng, and a little childish. He feels a little frustrated and self-blame.

Demon King Kun noticed Demon King Peng's abnormality, put down the wine glass in his hand, slowly walked to Demon King Peng, gently patted his shoulder, and comforted him in a gentle tone:
"Brother Peng, the gourd flew out of your hand because of bad luck."

"You fought three people alone this time, which is already very impressive."

"If this gets out, it won't tarnish the reputation of my Demon Master Palace."

"and……"

Demon King Kun changed the subject and said to Demon King Peng with a smile:

"Brother Peng, I have mastered the art of 'Kunqiu Fusion'."

"I will teach you this 'Kun Ball Integration' technique later, so that you can also practice 'Peng Ball Integration'."

"You will definitely shine next time!"

Upon hearing this, the Jiao Demon King smiled and consoled:
"Yes."

"Junior Brother Peng, you are still young."

"With your talent and potential, you will definitely surpass me within a hundred years!"

"Brother, you always make fun of me."

After all, Demon King Peng is Xiaopeng's younger brother. He has a childish nature and started laughing again after hearing a few nice words.

Upon hearing this, Jiao Demon King laughed and patted Peng Demon King on the shoulder and said:
"Hahaha."

"Junior Brother Peng, I am sincerely praising you, this is not a joke."

"With your aptitude, it is only a matter of time before you surpass me, your senior brother."

The four demons drank a few more glasses of wine, and the atmosphere became more lively. However, in this festive atmosphere, Demon King Kun mentioned the current predicament with a serious expression.

Demon King Kun recalled the battle with a solemn expression, shook his head, and sighed:
"In this fight for these gourds, we are still too outnumbered."

"There are seven or eight people on Shan Jiuying's side."

"The Ten Demon Saints have many descendants, but we only have a few. The situation is not very good."

"In the process of scrambling, it's easy for us to be entangled by them and have no time to take care of other things."

Xiao Chen was helpless when he heard this:
"That's true. The Ten Demon Saints have too many descendants."

"However, fortunately, Shangyang and Jiuying did not join forces, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with them."

Beijuluzhou is the base camp of the demon clan. The demon clan’s forces are complex and the young generation of powerful demons are countless.

However, the strongest among the younger generation of demons are undoubtedly the descendants of Demon Master Kunpeng and the Ten Demon Saints. Most of them have reached the level of great demons in the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

As for the descendants of the demon god, they are still far from qualified to participate in this game.

However, compared with the Demon Master Kunpeng, the number of offspring of the Ten Demon Saints has an absolute advantage.

Although Kunpeng is powerful, he only has two offspring, Demon King Kun and Demon King Peng.

But there are ten of the Ten Great Demon Saints. If each demon saint has one offspring, there will be ten in total. Moreover, some demon saints have two or three children, so there will be more than ten or twenty children in total.

The number of descendants of the Ten Demon Saints far exceeds that of Kunpeng.

No matter how good you are at fighting, how many can you beat?

Everyone rushed forward and knocked you down together.

Two fists are no match for four hands, and this is exactly what the current situation is like.

What's more, among the ten great demon saints, only three of them, Bai Ze, Ying Zhao and Qin Yuan, have not yet finished their battle.

There was still a dispute between Shang Yang's side and Jiu Ying's side, and the situation was barely even.

However, this is not their problem, after all, there are too many people on the opposite side.

Even if the demon master Kunpeng stepped forward and fought against the ten demon saints alone, it would still be a tough battle and he would have to run away.

Fortunately, these ten demon saints have ten different minds, and there are many factions among them, and they just stick to their own groups.

"Call your wife over here."

Xiao Chen pondered.

In this situation, we still need to mobilize people.

The big monsters that the Golden Horn King can directly shake include the Black Bear Monster, the Yellow Wind Great Sage and the Scorpion Monster.

However, the equipment refining industry in Xiniu Hezhou is his foundation, so he has to leave the Black Bear Demon there to look after the business and cannot transfer him easily.

The Dongsheng Shenzhou's weapon refining industry also needs a great demon to look after the place. If they have to choose between the Scorpion Demon and the Yellow Wind Great Sage, they would definitely keep the Yellow Wind Great Sage and invite the Scorpion Demon over.

Because the Scorpion Spirit is strong enough to help him.

Moreover, after all, it was the Scorpion Spirit who became his disciple, not the Golden Horn King.

If the Scorpion Queen wants to become an apprentice, she must show her face and demonstrate her abilities and qualifications.

The current competition is undoubtedly the best opportunity. It will not only help Kunpeng, but also allow Kunpeng to see her potential.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen had already made a decision in his mind.

Xiao Chen stood up and smiled at Demon King Kun:
"Brother Kun."

"My wife is quite skilled in fighting and may be able to lend us a hand."

Upon hearing this, Demon King Kun was stunned, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Generally speaking, in the demon world, strong demon women are quite arrogant and conceited, have a high opinion of themselves, and are unwilling to depend on others easily.

Those powerful banshee kings usually look for a son-in-law to marry into their family.

Or a witch with a rich family fortune would choose this method to recruit a son-in-law with her fortune.

Of course, a son-in-law...well, naturally, his status is relatively low, he must be faithful to his husband and cannot go out and play around.

The powerful male demon kings, on the other hand, are naturally not bound by such constraints, as they often have countless beautiful wives and concubines.

When men are strong, women are weak; when women are weak, men are strong. Both sides need to find a balance.

Otherwise, we won’t be able to live like this.

Both sides are strong, so they fight every day.

Demon King Kun looked at Xiao Chen in front of him and thought secretly in his heart.

This King of Golden Horn is quite capable and obviously not the kind of son-in-law who would be inferior to others.

His wife...

"My sister-in-law... is quite powerful?"

However, Demon King Kun was definitely not in a position to ask about the Golden Horned King's private affairs, so he asked tentatively.

"Yeah, not bad."

"His ability is no less than mine."

Xiao Chen chuckled and nodded, his tone full of confidence.

With their current lineup, if they add a Scorpion Spirit and catch a gourd, it won't be a problem.
