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

Chapter 350 Not a Good Match
Zhangyuan Dragon Palace is hidden in the depths of the vast blue waves of Zhangyuan. Its building is as majestic as an underwater palace, shining brightly and exuding a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

In the center is the winter plum blossom, which blooms all year round, emitting a faint fragrance that adds a touch of gentleness and elegance to this underwater world.

At this time, there was silence in Princess Halloween's boudoir.

Princess Halloween lay quietly on the couch, stretching out her snow-white wrist through the gauze and beaded curtain, allowing Xiao Chen to check her injuries.

Xiao Chen was not a worm in Princess Halloween's stomach, so he was naturally completely unaware of Princess Halloween's subtle thoughts at the moment.

As an unmarried girl, Princess Wansheng naturally has the reserve and shyness of a young girl, not to mention that the old Dragon King Wansheng is also here.

Xiao Chen knew this very well, so he didn't look around and closed his eyes to show respect.

at the same time.

Xiao Chen placed his hand on Princess Wansheng's fair wrist, and with the help of the power of the Precious Lotus Lantern, he concentrated on examining Princess Wansheng's injuries.

There was no distraction in his eyes, only focus on the injury and seriousness in the treatment.

Xiao Chen had treated many people’s injuries, such as Tiger Power Immortal, Bull Demon King, Lion Camel King, Yu Monkey King, Pansi Immortal…

With so much experience, he is now familiar with treating injuries and does it with ease.

There is no way, healers are extremely scarce in any team.

Characters like Sun Wukong who have full endurance, high physical defense, and high magic resistance are extremely rare.

Healing and endurance are indispensable abilities in a team.

Among the five elements, wood represents vitality and healing. If the foundation of the wood gourd spirit is still there, he will undoubtedly be a good healer.

But now, only he, the King of Golden Horn, has to go into battle personally.

He, the King of Golden Horn, possesses the top-grade innate spiritual treasure Lotus Lamp. In the game of his previous life, he, the King of Golden Horn, is a top-level "nanny" who can restore full health in one breath.

For this he had to thank Yang Chan. Yang Chan's Precious Lotus Lantern really helped King Golden Horn a lot.

At this moment, the Seven Treasures Magic Fire in Xiao Chen's body, under his control, slowly invaded Princess Halloween's body like a nimble dragon.

This warm and healing power circled around her body, washing away the pain.

Princess Halloween was stimulated by this power.

Feeling the warmth and comfort of this power, her delicate body couldn't help but soften, as if immersed in a warm ocean.

However, Princess Halloween is a girl after all, and her old father, the Dragon King, and the Bull Demon King are all present, so she cannot let herself lose her composure.

"Um……"

Princess Halloween tried hard to remain reserved and maintain a dignified demeanor.

She bit her teeth lightly, clamped her legs together, and clenched her toes to prevent herself from making any embarrassing sounds.

However, the smile in Princess Halloween's eyes and the slightly trembling eyelashes at this moment inadvertently revealed her inner joy and satisfaction at the moment.

at this time.

The Seven Treasures Magic Fire has slowly circulated within Princess Halloween's body.

As the Seven Treasures Magic Fire moved, Xiao Chen had a clear understanding of Princess Halloween's physical condition.

At this time, Princess Wansheng was only in the middle stage of the Golden Immortal realm, which was about the same level as an ordinary demon general under his command.

In the system of cultivating immortals, the innate Qi, also known as the original ancestral Qi, is an extremely critical existence.

As the saying goes:
"Tao is born from nothingness, and from this one qi, yin and yang are produced. Yin and yang combine again to produce three bodies, and the three bodies give birth to all things."

This innate Qi is the original Qi that gave birth to the heavens, the earth, and all things in life, and constitutes the basic quality of all things in the heavens, the earth, and all things.

The innate qi is invisible and intangible, but it contains infinite vitality and is the root of all qi in living things.

If we regard the whole life as a small world.

That innate qi is the little sun within this living body.

Without the sun, all things in the world cannot grow. Similarly, the human body will lose its vitality without the innate qi.

For cultivators, refining Qi is to refine this innate Qi. The level of cultivation depends on the degree of cultivation and concentration of the innate Qi.

Golden Immortal, Taiyi Golden Immortal, Daluo Golden Immortal... In fact, they are all Golden Immortals, but the depth of their realm is closely related to the cultivation of the innate Qi.

To become a Golden Immortal, the most important thing is to condense one's own Golden Immortal luck, and the foundation of all this is the innate Qi.

Taiyi Jinxian needs to cultivate the five energies in his chest to further improve his control and use of the innate qi.

The innate qi is the root of all qi in a living body and determines the innate qualities and potential of the living body.

Right now, Princess Halloween’s physical condition is just as the Bull Demon King described.

"It's true that he is born with a deficiency..."

Xiao Chen sighed secretly in his heart, with a hint of regret in his eyes.

He discovered that Princess Wansheng's innate Qi was damaged, which meant that her path to becoming an immortal would be more difficult and rugged than that of ordinary people, and her potential and talent would also be severely restricted.

This innate qi mainly comes from the mother's womb and is the most precious wealth given to life at the beginning of its birth.

It is actually very difficult to make up for it after birth.

In the living body, the innate Qi provides the foundation and support for the acquired Qi, while the acquired Qi constantly nourishes and replenishes the innate Qi.

The two complement each other and together maintain the vitality of life and the potential for spiritual practice.

Princess Halloween was obviously well aware of her own shortcomings, so she took great pains to cultivate a large number of Ganoderma lucidum, trying to use acquired Qi to continuously nourish and replenish her innate Qi.

These Ganoderma lucidum herbs contain rich spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and are undoubtedly extremely precious tonics for those who practice Taoism.

This cannot be said to be ineffective.

All we can say is that trying to make up for congenital deficiencies through acquired means will have little effect.

Compared to ordinary people, the efforts Princess Halloween puts in and the rewards she gets are really disproportionate.

at this time.

Xiao Chen's thoughts drifted back to Princess Halloween.

Despite her congenital deficiencies, Princess Wansheng was able to rely on her own perseverance and persistence to cultivate to the middle stage of the Golden Immortal, which is extremely rare.

The effort she puts in is a thousand times more than that of ordinary people.

Behind every level of advancement is endless hardship and sweat.

However, the road to becoming an immortal is long and arduous.

For Princess Halloween, going any further is already extremely difficult.

There is no hope of reaching the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal in this lifetime.

Think of this.

Thinking of the extremely tragic ending of Princess Halloween.

Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh secretly:

"Princess Halloween, such a wonderful woman, what a pity."

Princess Halloween’s qualifications are actually not bad. She is very intelligent and has perseverance and determination.

It is worthy of the praise in the book:
"She is beautiful and has great talent."

Her beauty and wisdom are also among the best among the female fairies in the entire Journey to the West.

It’s just...Princess Halloween’s ambitions are as high as the sky, but her life is as fragile as paper.

She always wants to prove herself.

However, fate always seemed to be malicious towards her.

On the road westward.

In the Blue Water Pond in the Rocky Mountain, Sun Wukong used his "Seventy-two Transformations" to transform himself into the appearance of a Nine-headed Insect and stole the Buddhist treasure from her.

Princess Halloween realized she had been tricked and tried to snatch it from Sun Wukong.

At this time, Zhu Bajie did not abide by the moral principles of martial arts and took the opportunity to attack Princess Halloween from behind.

Two grown men, dealing with a woman, one using deception, the other attacking from behind.

Hey……

Zhu Bajie launched a sneak attack on Princess Halloween from behind, and with the rake he hit her, Princess Halloween fell to the ground, with blood staining her clothes red.

The moment she fell in a pool of blood, her eyes were full of shock and disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that all this was happening.

She tried so hard and was so strong, but in the end, she couldn't escape this disaster.

This nine-headed insect is not a good guy either. It flies alone when disaster strikes.

The Nine-Headed Insect that once made a vow of eternal love with Princess Halloween, abandoned Princess Halloween without even saying goodbye when he encountered danger, and fled to the North Sea alone.

The Nine-Headed Insect's treacherous behavior is truly unmanly.

At last.

Princess Halloween was left alone in the Halloween Dragon Palace, facing the bullying of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, one of whom deceived her and the other beat her.

Perhaps at the moment she fell in a pool of blood, her heart was filled with despair and anger, but more of it was unwillingness.

There must also be a complete disillusionment with the Nine-headed Monster.

In this world, the only person who is truly good to Princess Halloween is her old father, the Halloween Dragon King.

The old Dragon King of Halloween always protected Princess Halloween, sheltered her from the wind and rain, and found a good husband for her. Unfortunately, he was ultimately unable to change her extremely tragic fate.

Xiao Chen sighed for a moment at what happened to Princess Halloween.

However, Xiao Chen also understood that in this world, sometimes hard work and persistence do not necessarily bring the desired results, and the fickleness and cruelty of fate often catch people off guard.

"Uncle Jinjiao, why are you sighing?"

"But my injury is too troublesome?"

Girls have very sharp minds.

At this time, Princess Halloween noticed that Xiao Chen was acting strangely and asked softly.

"Well, nothing." "Just thought of something."

Xiao Chen withdrew his thoughts.

As he spoke, Xiao Chen changed the subject and asked Princess Wan Sheng:

"Niece Wansheng, last time at Lion's Roar Mountain, I saw you and that nine-headed ghost carriage, and it seemed like you had a rather subtle relationship?"

Princess Wansheng heard this, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, and she sighed helplessly:

"Well, I don't have a good relationship with him."

"But after seeing me, these nine-headed ghost carriages were like dog-skin plasters, clinging to me all the time."

"He follows me wherever I go. I can't get rid of him."

Having said this, she frowned, obviously feeling very annoyed by the Hydra's harassment.

"He tried to use the spell of bewitching me last time. If you hadn't happened to be on Lion's Roar Mountain, I might have..."

There was a hint of fear in Princess Halloween's words, and it was obvious that she was still traumatized by that experience.

In this Uttarakuru continent, the Nine-Headed Insect is a descendant of the demon saint Guicha and has a noble status.

The Nine-Headed Insect is protected by Yu Ze, the Ghost Chariot Demon Saint.

Although she didn't like the Nine-Headed Insect, considering that she still had to live in Uttarakuru, it was difficult for her to reject him directly.

Outside of Uttarakuru, there is Ao Lie, the third prince of the West Sea, and there is the Nine-headed Insect in Uttarakuru, so... it is very difficult for her to deal with it.

"Yes, niece of All Saints."

"The nine-headed ghost carriage is a demon with evil intentions and is vicious and evil."

Xiao Chen spoke.

He had met the Nine-Headed Insect many times and had fought with it several times, so he had some understanding of it.

The Nine-Headed Insect monster appears to be very good on the surface, but is actually extremely vicious and scheming inside.

He looks fierce and powerful on the outside, but he is actually weak and cowardly on the inside. He is a typical bully.

Back then on the Lion's Roar Mountain, the Nine-Headed Insect lost the fight with the Lion King and was defeated. The Lion King let him go, but the Nine-Headed Insect secretly attacked and stabbed the Lion King in the back.

Although the Nine-headed Insect has ten heads, he is still called the "Nine-headed Insect". He deliberately hides one head around his waist to hurt people secretly. This method is quite scheming.

All of this illustrates this point.

"The nine-headed ghost carriage monster."

"I'm not being nosy, but he's really not a good match."

Xiao Chen looked at Princess Halloween and said seriously.

There is a saying: "A strong woman is afraid of a clinging man."

Judging from the ending, in the end, the Nine-headed Insect finally succeeded in getting what he wanted.

But this nine-headed insect is indeed not a good thing. It has brought endless disasters to the Halloween Dragon King and the Halloween Princess.

The tragedy of the Bibotan in Luanshi Mountain and the destruction of the Wansheng Dragon King's family were actually caused by the Nine-headed Insect.

Xiao Chen actually knew the old Halloween Dragon King very well. The old Halloween Dragon King was actually a very honest and somewhat timid dragon king who generally did not dare to cause trouble.

He wanted to open a branch of Silizhai in Jisai Kingdom with the old Dragon King Wansheng. However, the old Dragon King Wansheng was a little scared and worried about offending the Heavenly Court, so he did not dare to do it.

After Erlang Shen heard Sun Wukong's story about the theft of the Buddha's treasure, he was also very surprised and asked:
"How dare the old dragon Wansheng steal the treasure from the tower when he doesn't cause any trouble?"

All these prove the point that the old Halloween Dragon King is actually quite honest and upright.

But when did the law-abiding Old Dragon King of All Saints change?
Everything changed after the old Dragon King Wansheng recruited the Nine-headed Insect as his consort.

The old Dragon King Wansheng and the Nine-headed Insect together brought a bloody rain to the country of Jisai and stole the Buddhist relics from the top of the Jinguang Temple.

It cannot be said that the old Halloween Dragon King was not wrong in this matter. He was definitely wrong.

But this matter was most likely instigated and seduced by the Nine-Headed Insect.

Since then, the Nine-Headed Insect has been causing trouble.

Later, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and others came to ask for the Buddhist relics.

When the old Dragon King heard that it was the Monkey King Sun Wukong who had caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he was so frightened that he wanted to return the Buddhist relic in a hurry to pray for peace.

If this is the case, the matter will be over, and the Luanshi Mountain and Bibotan will naturally be safe and sound, and the family of the Wansheng old Dragon King will be fine too.

But right.

Just at this time.

The Nine-headed Insect jumped out again. He patted his chest and boasted to the old Dragon King:

"Don't worry, Taiyue (father-in-law). I have learned some martial arts since I was young. I have also met many heroes in the world. Why should I be afraid of him?"

"Wait till I get out and fight him for three rounds, and I guarantee that he will cower in submission and not dare to look up at me!"

The Nine-Headed Insect said that he could definitely defeat Sun Wukong with three of them!

The results of it?
The Nine-Headed Insect fought with Sun Wukong, Erlang Shen and others, but was defeated. He then abandoned his wife Princess Wansheng and ran away alone.

If the Nine-Headed Insect died in battle to protect his wife, Princess Halloween.

Or it could be that after the Nine-Headed Insect ran away, it returned to Uttarakuru to accumulate strength and avenge his wife in the future.

But Xiao Chen still thought that he was a man with some responsibility, and gave him a thumbs up, saying that he was so brave!
But, you, Nine-headed Insect, got into trouble, boasted, and said, "Don't worry, father-in-law, there's nothing to worry about him, just leave it to me!"

As a result, the Nine-Headed Insect ran away alone, leaving his wife beaten to death.

He didn't seek revenge and completely retreated into a state of retreat.

What is this...what is this called?

Aren’t you just cheating people?
The old Dragon King Wansheng helped him a lot and was very grateful to him.

As a friend of the old Halloween Dragon King and the elder of Princess Halloween, Xiao Chen knew their tragic ending and was also familiar with the character of the Nine-headed Insect, so naturally he had to give them some advice.

Otherwise, the old Halloween Dragon King and the Halloween Princess would be harmed by the Nine-headed Insect again in the future, and end up with a tragic ending of their family being destroyed.

"Um……"

"Hey……"

"Uncle Jinjiao, I..."

"I see."

When Princess Halloween heard this, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes.

She knew very well what kind of person the Nine-headed Insect was and was well aware of its evil deeds, but being in Uttarakuru, she was helpless and found it difficult to make a decision.

"You don't have to do this, niece."

Xiao Chen saw Princess Halloween's concerns and knew that she had always been a strong-willed person. If something really happened, even if Princess Halloween suffered a loss, she might not be willing to trouble him and Bull Demon King.

Xiao Chen said to Princess Wan Sheng:
"Don't think too much."

"If the Nine-Headed Ghost Carriage comes to bother you again, just call me 'King of the Golden Horn'!"

"With me and Big Brother Bull Demon King here, you don't have to be afraid of the Nine-Headed Ghost Carriage!"

"If you have any problem, just come to Xuanjin Mountain to find me."

"Uncle, I'll help you sort it out."

Today is different from the past.

At that time, he had just arrived in Uttarakuru and had no foundation, so he did not want to cause trouble.

All we can do is stay put.

It is true that: "A strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake."

But, it's different now.

Not only did the Scorpion Demon become a disciple of the Demon Master Palace, he was also named the "Red Poison King" and became the second prince of the Demon Master Palace.

Demon King Kun, Demon King Jiao, Demon King Peng... are all on good terms with the King of Golden Horn.

Among the ten great demon saints, Bull Demon King, as the descendant of the Demon Saint Chitie, can naturally mobilize the power of the Demon Saint Chitie's lineage.

He is on good terms with Qin Yuan Tian Mi, the successor of the Demon Saint Qin Yuan lineage, and the two sides have become allies.

There is also the great immortal Pansi from the lineage of the demon saint Qinyuan, who also has a close relationship with him.

And the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

Anyway, our relationship is very solid.

He, King Golden Horn, now has the support of the Demon Master Palace, and two of the ten demon saints are his allies.

You could say, what kind of local tyrant is this?

In today's Uttarakuru, King Golden Horn is the local tyrant!

What a Nine-Headed Insect! In terms of strength, it is just a defeated opponent of his King Golden Horn.

In terms of power, how can Nine-headed Insect, a poor man whose father has died, compare with the Golden Horned King?

With the current strength and influence of King Golden Horn.

A mere nine-headed monster is nothing to be afraid of.

In this northern continent of Jurga, sheltering the daughter of the old Dragon King Wansheng is not a big deal for the current King Jinjiao.

When Princess Halloween heard this, a warm feeling surged in her heart.

She knew that Xiao Chen sincerely wanted to help her, and she also understood that his current strength and power were indeed enough to protect her.

Then Princess Halloween smiled and said:

"Well, then Yao'er would like to thank Uncle Jinjiao."
