The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 261: He Became Obedient After a Beating

At this moment, Li Jingxiao suddenly remembered Zhu Bajie's fighting methods.

With this Daoist method of the "Movement" school, not only will you not be harmed by women, but you will also become more energetic in battle.

It wasn't that Li Jingxiao wasn't interested in women, but rather that he still didn't trust the three peach blossom demons.

Even if you really want to have sex, you can go home and find your wife.

Moreover, Wang Xifeng had only been married into the family for a little over two months, and You Erjie had only been her woman for less than a month.

The two women and Ping'er are now not only being pampered, but also feeling a great sense of novelty for Li Jingxiao.

With his two wives, Baozhu, Ruizhu, and Baoqin, Li Jingxiao truly has no shortage of women.

Naturally, one wouldn't get into trouble just because they're having fun for a moment.

Even in danger.

Seeing that Li Jingxiao still refused, the three peach blossom fairies felt disheartened.

They simply refused to leave the Demon-Sealing Tower and stayed on the third floor, isolating themselves.

Now it's Li Jingxiao who's in trouble.

No matter what he said, the three flower fairies had no interest in fighting him at this moment.

If you don't compare, you won't gain experience.

Of course, Li Jingxiao could treat him the same way he treated Dang Kang or the Crimson Serpent Demon.

They went up and started fighting without any regard for the consequences.

It's one thing if they only beat you up once or twice.

If this happens too often, the three peach blossom fairies, like Dang Kang, will either fight you to the death if pushed too far.

Or, like the Crimson Serpent Demon, they might endure the beatings while suppressing their hatred in their hearts.

However, no matter how much the red-banded snake could tolerate it.

When they finally can't take it anymore, they'll definitely explode like Kang did and fight you to the death.

Li Jingxiao shook his head helplessly, went downstairs to the first floor, and learned the "Giant Transformation Technique" from Dang Kang.

Upon exiting the Demon-Sealing Tower, two elders immediately came to greet us.

Before the two could even ask anything, they suddenly stared at Li Jingxiao without moving.

Li Jingxiao frowned and looked down at his clothes, but found nothing wrong. Then he asked in confusion.

"Senior brothers, is there anything I have done wrong?"

Xuan Cheng and Xuan Jin nodded solemnly: "Junior brother, have you been bewitched by those three flower fairies and developed feelings of sympathy and pity for them?"

Li Jingxiao was taken aback, but he was also clever and quickly realized what was happening.

He frowned, wondering if he had really fallen for the tricks of the three flower fairies.
Not long after, Li Jingxiao sighed.

Although he didn't fall for the three flower fairies' charms, he did start to feel anxious and uncertain because he wanted to gain more experience.

Li Jingxiao took a deep breath and laughed heartily.

However, the promise made to Kang will not change.

After all, this wild boar monster had agreed to become a general of the City God of the Underworld. With the strength, power, and deterrent effect of the Underworld, it was far superior to Maoshan.

This means that the wild boar monster has put itself in shackles.

Or rather, like Sun Wukong, they are restricted by the golden headband.

The three flower fairies would have a bright future if they went to the underworld.

It's infinitely better than being locked up in the Demon-Sealing Tower forever.

But she still wanted to follow him; she had only thought the three sisters had good taste before.

They know that following me will lead to a brighter future.

But now, Li Jingxiao no longer believes that they have no ulterior motives.

They might get into a fight, as long as they can control themselves with emotions, family ties, or even hypocrisy and deception.

In effect, this means gaining freedom while also acquiring a powerful and prestigious ox or horse.

Li Jingxiao immediately understood why so many Taoist predecessors said that humans and demons are on different paths.

However, Li Jingxiao felt that he had gone to some extremes.

Humans can be good or bad, and so can demons.

The demons imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower had long been recognized by the Maoshan ancestors as demons who had wreaked havoc in the region and committed countless evil deeds.

Li Jingxiao bowed to Xuan Cheng and Xuan Jin, saying, "Thank you for reminding me, senior brothers. I almost fell for the tricks of those three flower fairies."

Xuan Cheng and Xuan Jin were relieved to see that Li Jingxiao's eyes had regained their clarity.

At the same time, he admired and envied Li Jingxiao's comprehension.

Take that old fellow, Junior Brother Xuan Yang, for example. He was bewitched by a plum blossom demon for decades and never managed to escape her gentle embrace.

If that plum blossom demon hadn't actually never harmed anyone, she would have been imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower by Xuan Yang's grandmaster long ago.

For decades, the plum blossom demon lived a peaceful and quiet life in a small village at the foot of Maoshan Mountain.

That's why things have been peaceful ever since.

But the three peach blossom demons inside the Demon Locking Tower are a different story.

Although Xuan Cheng could tell that Li Jingxiao had regained his senses, he still asked with some concern.

"Junior brother, what do you plan to do with those three peach blossom demons?"

Li Jingxiao shrugged: "Give them a beating first. If they still don't listen, keep beating them until they reform."

After saying that, Li Jingxiao thought to himself that his goal was to gain experience anyway.

Everything else is secondary.

Moreover, in Journey to the West, the mounts of the Heavenly Court's bigwigs, as well as constellations like Kui Mulang, would go to other people's homes to do evil and eat them.

Therefore, judging a person solely by good or bad is not so superficial.

If it benefits you, then it's good.

Anything that is detrimental to you needs to be eliminated.

If you can't beat them, then behave yourself.

We'll regain our pride later when we win, or maybe we'll kill the other side.

Li Jingxiao even felt that as long as he didn't have any feelings involved, it wouldn't be impossible to "mess around" and "entangle" with the three peach blossom fairies.

You gain experience and feel good at the same time—it's a win-win situation.

Fortunately, as soon as the idea came to mind, Li Jingxiao laughed at himself, realizing that he was still just an ordinary person after all.

Cultivating demonic or unorthodox practices is the most suitable for him; otherwise, he wouldn't be constantly thinking about those things.

However, now that we have the cheat code, immortality should be no problem.

As for combat prowess, given enough time, it certainly won't be low in the future.

These two things that others yearn for but cannot obtain are easily attainable for me.

If I don't have any hobbies, I might become a training machine in the future.

If all you do is cultivate Taoism, then life seems meaningless.

So Li Jingxiao decided that he would not give up his 'lust'.

Immediately, he turned around and went back into the Demon-Sealing Tower.

They went straight to the third floor and started fighting, once again beating the three peach blossom demons black and blue.

It also breathed fire, burning the three flower fairies until they were charred black.

She cried so pitifully, her face streaked with tears.

Unfortunately, the three flower fairies looked miserable and were crying.

The more he cried, the uglier he looked, and the more Lee Kyung-hyo wanted to laugh.

Having gained 9 experience points, I finally left the Demon-Sealing Tower feeling refreshed.

It was almost noon when Li Jingxiao bid farewell to Xuan Cheng and Xuan Jin.

When Xuan Cheng and Xuan Jin saw him emerge from the Demon Locking Tower again, his previously gloomy expression had completely vanished, replaced by a radiant and cheerful demeanor.

Only then did I feel truly relieved.

They were just sent into the Demon-Locking Tower to see just how badly they had beaten those three peach blossom demons.

The two old Taoist priests thought about it and decided against it.

I'm not like Li Jingxiao. Although I have more life experience and broader knowledge than him, my strength simply doesn't allow it.

If you want to vanquish demons or just enjoy the spectacle, you have to be able to defeat them.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao almost fell for it; what would happen if the two of them were facing those three peach blossom demons?

They might be completely misled.

He could only continue to keep an eye on the Demon-Sealing Tower while reporting the matter to the Sect Leader.

Li Jingxiao returned to his home in the capital and arrived just in time for lunch.

He rarely didn't practice in the afternoon, so he lay on the Luohan bed in the main room at home, chatting with his wives and concubines.

He took sips of Monkey Spirit Wine every now and then.

However, while refining spiritual energy and alcohol, the speed at which proficiency actually increases is faster than simply meditating and cultivating.

Qin Keqing, Yuan Chun, Wang Xifeng and the others saw that he was so lazy today, but they didn't ask why.

Only a fool would ask so many questions if his own man wanted to spend more time with her, which displeased Li Jingxiao.

Several women even wished he would stay home obediently every day.

As they were talking, Yuan Chun suddenly asked, "My lord, it seems you've never met my aunt or my cousin from the Lin family, have you?"

Li Jingxiao, who was secretly playing with Wang Xifeng's tender hands, was taken aback.

Come to think of it, I've never actually seen it before.

However, Li Jingxiao knew in his heart that Lin Daiyu was still a young girl, so he naturally had no interest in her.

Considering that Lin Daiyu entered the Jia family at the age of six in the original novel, her speech and actions were so proper, it is truly remarkable.

If it were a child from a previous life, let alone their peers, they wouldn't be able to reach Lin Daiyu's level.

Even many seventeen or eighteen-year-old girls, or those in their twenties, are not as capable as her in speaking and acting.

Seeing that Li Jingxiao nodded, Yuan Chun continued, "My aunt and cousin from the Lin family arrived in the capital at the end of last year."

I mentioned it several times during my visits to the Rongguo Mansion. I want to thank the gentleman for the elixirs that helped my aunt and cousin recover.

Otherwise, when I returned to Beijing last winter, the canal was still really cold, even though it wasn't frozen over.

"They might not be able to reach the capital so smoothly."

Li Jingxiao waved his hand with a smile, but he knew in his heart that without his own elixir...

Jia Min may have passed away six months or a year ago.

However, since Lin Daiyu was still too young, although Li Jingxiao wanted to meet this Lin Daiyu, he didn't really have much interest in her.

He smiled and said, "Uncle Lin and I hit it off immediately, so there's no need for formalities."

If your cousin Lin is free sometime, please invite her over to cook.

"And take her pulse while you're at it."

Yuan Chun and Wang Xifeng nodded together.

In their hearts, Lin Daiyu was never a threat.

So in the eyes of the two women, this little cousin was just a little sister who needed care and attention.

As for not inviting Jia Min to visit.

Li Jingxiao wouldn't be that foolish and impulsive.

Even Yuan Chun and Wang Xifeng wouldn't invite Jia Min to their home when Lin Ruhai wasn't in the capital.

Returning to the Rongguo Mansion is like returning to one's maternal home, so there are naturally fewer taboos to be observed.

That evening, Li Jingxiao played cards with Baoqin in Yuanchun's room.

Even though the master and servant joined forces, they still suffered a crushing defeat in the end.

After the two women fell into a deep sleep, Li Jingxiao went to the courtyard of You Erjie and You Sanjie.

Although Sister You San was not yet of age to play cards, it did not stop her from watching her husband and Sister You Er play cards.

Occasionally, she would help shuffle and cut the cards, and even lie on Li Jingxiao's back to watch him and You Erjie play cards.

Unfortunately, no matter how much she begged, Li Jingxiao refused to fight her.

In the end, even her older sister, You Erjie, cried after losing.

Only then did she reluctantly lie down in Li Jingxiao's arms and fall asleep.

Sleep until dawn.

In the morning, she does her morning exercises and eats breakfast under the care of Wang Xifeng, Ping'er, Xiren, and Qingwen.

Wang Xifeng also asked, "My lord, should we send someone to bring the three young ladies over?"

Li Jingxiao shook his head directly. He used to keep a very close eye on his three younger sisters.

If it's not in my sight, I feel like something's missing.

Now, I've been living with my three cousins ​​for over two years, and sometimes I still feel like they're just three third wheels.

It affected his own and his wives' and concubines' carefree behavior.

So when Jingxi and the others didn't come back on their own, Li Jingxiao didn't take the initiative to call them.

Besides, that little Jingrong won't stay at the old house for more than a few days before she starts nagging and running back.

If you don't let her leave, she'll climb over the wall, scale the yard, and use her light-footed skills to fly back.

So, the few days that his three younger sisters returned to the old house during the Lantern Festival were a rare period of leisure for Li Jingxiao.

But his smugness was short-lived; his ears twitched, and he soon saw Jing Rong flying down from the roof with a smile on her face.

She skipped and hopped over to him, then grabbed Li Jingxiao's arm and started chattering.

"Big brother, have you missed me?"

Just moments ago, Li Jingxiao had looked disdainful of his younger sister, but upon hearing these words, a kind smile immediately appeared on his face.

He patted his little sister's head and nodded with a smile. But Jingrong was already six years old and knew how to care about her appearance.

She slapped Li Jingxiao's hand away and muttered in dissatisfaction, "Big brother is so annoying, he messed up my hair again."

After saying that, she ignored Li Jingxiao and ran to Wang Xifeng's side.

He called out, "Sister-in-law, quickly fix my hair."

Wang Xifeng was overjoyed by the term "sister-in-law".

He hurriedly pulled Jingrong to sit down and carefully re-tied her hair.

Seeing this, Li Jingxiao smiled and shook his head.

After having breakfast with Jingrong, he made an excuse to go to the government office and flew to Maoshan.

After finishing today's experience points, I flew to Japan again.

The target this time was naturally Shuten-dōji and the demons under his command.

However, Li Jingxiao was probably used to launching surprise attacks, so he didn't directly attack their door.

Instead, he landed on a cliff and summoned a dozen or so golden-armored warriors.

He meditates cross-legged and cultivates, opening his third eye every hour.

Use your clairvoyance to scan the mountain castle of Shuten-dōji.

Unfortunately, for three consecutive days, this guy didn't leave his lair.

Li Jingxiao wasn't in a hurry. He would go to Maoshan every day to grind monsters and gain experience, and then find a scenic spot in Japan to meditate and cultivate.

The character level has reached level 91 (153.8 million/220 million).

It will be upgraded in two days.

The Longevity Technique has also risen to Legendary (39500/10).
As for Dang Kang, it was already agreed with him that he would capture another great monster and imprison it.

So I took him to the City God Temple in the capital to find the City God, Liang Guangyuan.

He was appointed as a "Demon Slayer" in the Merit and Demerit Department of the City God Temple in the capital.

It sounds impressive, but in reality it's just a thankless job of running errands and catching people.

However, the 'Merit and Demerit Department' is specifically responsible for recording the good and evil deeds of humans and ghosts in both the Yin and Yang realms.

The report was submitted to the City God for record-keeping, serving as a basis for determining the karmic retribution for good and evil.

May the descendants of those who abide by the law and do good deeds prosper.

Those who do evil will bring misfortune and suffering to their descendants.

It's obvious at a glance that this is a lucrative department.
