The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 332 A real man can bend and stretch

Nine-Headed Insect stole Little White Dragon's woman, thus marrying Princess Wansheng and forming a marriage alliance with Bibo Tan Dragon Palace.

Although it was a marriage into the family, it could be considered an alliance with the dragon clan.

As for the Azure Pool Dragon Clan, in the eyes of the Four Seas Dragon Clan, they can only be considered wild dragons.

But for the Nine-Headed Insect, a strange creature from the prehistoric North Sea, this did indeed elevate its status.

Since Princess Wansheng has a history of betraying her man.

If the Nine-Headed Insect isn't stupid, it will naturally be on guard once it becomes suspicious.

Unexpectedly, it was just a slight test, and he said he was going to a banquet at the Bull Demon King's place.

Princess Wansheng then went to Thorn Ridge again.

When Li Jingxiao and Princess Wansheng were enjoying their time together under the moon and amidst the blossoms, they were deeply in love.

Suddenly, a handsome man in his thirties, wearing bright silver armor and holding a crescent shovel, appeared.

With a furious expression, he pointed at Princess Wansheng and cursed, "You shameless slut who dares to cheat on me!"

"I'm going to beat you and this pretty boy to death today!"

Princess Wansheng's expression changed drastically, but only for a moment before she smiled and said...

"You're being unreasonable," he said, then got up and quickly walked to the Nine-Headed Insect's side.

Holding the other's arm, she said, "My husband has misunderstood. This Brother-in-law Li is Xingxian's husband."

Since Xingxian and I are close friends, I naturally have to help her assess the character and abilities of her future husband.

She then pretended to fall in love with Master Li at first sight to test whether he would change his mind.

My husband, you must not misunderstand.

No one believes this.

But some sycophants just don't think like normal people.

However, although the Nine-Headed Insect was not stupid, he still knew about gains and losses.

The fact that this guy married into Bibo Tan's family means he has his own ambitions.

Although he possessed the bloodline of the ancient demon race, the ancient demon race had ultimately relinquished its position as the protagonist of the world.

They can only eke out a living in the North Sea, Beiju Luzhou, or other remote and harsh places.

Having acquired exceptional skills, Jiu Tou was naturally unwilling to spend his life idly in Beihai.

Princess Wansheng was indeed beautiful and came from an excellent family.

She was eligible to attend any banquet held by the Queen Mother of the West.

Of course, it was definitely not the Peach Banquet.

Otherwise, Princess Wansheng would not have had the chance to steal the Queen Mother's Yaozhi Immortal Herb.

Most importantly, those eyes are captivating.

Even someone like Li Jingxiao, who had seen many beautiful women, became interested in a woman like Princess Wansheng.

This woman is clearly very alluring.

That's why the Nine-Headed Insect was willing to offend the West Sea Dragon Palace, and even the entire Four Seas Dragon Palace, in order to poach the White Dragon's man.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Four Seas Dragon Clan has no experts.

So even though the Nine-Headed Insect captured Princess Wansheng, he was still secretly meeting with his lover.

As long as Princess Wansheng refuses to admit it, and you give her a way out, even a fool wouldn't believe her previous explanation.

Just as Li Jingxiao was about to make his move, the Nine-Headed Insect suddenly burst into laughter.

He put away the crescent shovel in his hand, cupped his hands and said to Princess Wansheng, "Please don't be offended, my wife. I was just being overly concerned."

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao's mouth dropped open in surprise.

Only Xingxian looked on with a smile, without the slightest worry or fear, as Princess Wansheng began to throw a tantrum.

They actually forced the Nine-Headed Insect to promise many conditions before they forgave him.

Li Jingxiao couldn't believe it; the Nine-Headed Insect would turn the page so easily.

However, if I remember correctly, this guy, like Princess Wansheng, basically has no bottom line when it comes to doing things.

Feeling that he was not confident of defeating Sun Wukong, he conspired with Princess Wansheng to poison him.

Unexpectedly, the monkey saw through their trick.

They secretly switched the poisoned wine cup with the Old Dragon King of Halloween.

Instead, it poisoned the old Dragon King.

So Li Jingxiao was very polite to Jiu Tou Chong, but in reality he was very wary.

Anything that goes into your mouth is immediately added to the game.

Unexpectedly, the Nine-Headed Insect noticed his astonishing drinking capacity.

She actually had the idea of ​​taking Li Jingxiao to banquets hosted by other friends.

When Li Jingxiao heard that they were going to drink with the Bull Demon King, he shook his head without even thinking about it.

Although he kept deceiving Red Boy, saying that his ability to become a disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva was an incredible opportunity.

But Red Boy's belief doesn't mean that his parents, the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan, also agree.

Who knows, the Bull Demon King might just take a knife and try to kill me the moment he sees me.

Unexpectedly, Princess Wansheng suddenly smiled and said, "Husband, you don't know this, but Master Li and King Shengying are good brothers."

You invite the real person to a banquet at the place of the Mighty Bull Demon King, and when you meet there...

Should we call that lecherous ox "Uncle" or "Brother Ox"?

Nine-Headed Insect was taken aback, then burst into laughter.

However, this guy is ambitious after all, since Li Jingxiao and Red Boy are buddies.

Their martial arts and Taoist skills must be quite formidable.

Otherwise, if the difference in strength is too great, they simply cannot play together.

Even though Li Jingxiao was extremely wealthy, given the Nine-Headed Insect's understanding of Red Boy...

Not only will they not be able to be friends, but they will also be treated like an ATM by Red Boy.

Red Boy was someone who dared to treat the many mountain gods and local deities of the Eight Hundred Li Drill Mountain as servants.

Therefore, in Red Boy's eyes, only those with sufficient strength are worthy of being his friends.

This kind of thinking is all too common in the world of Journey to the West.

Thinking about it this way, Nine-Headed Insect was even more eager to befriend Li Jingxiao and bring him into his circle.

As for that messy affair with Princess Wansheng, for an ambitious man...

As long as Princess Wansheng is still his wife, it's not a big deal for her to have some fun in private.

Especially in Xiniu Hezhou, many of the etiquette and rules are different from those in the Central Plains.

Of course, since it's a marriage where the woman marries into the family.

In the relationship between the couple, Princess Wansheng was undoubtedly the stronger party.

This guy even enjoys spending time with the Bull Demon King, partly because the Bull Demon King became the Jade-Faced Fox Spirit's son-in-law.

Both of them were sons-in-law who married into their wives' families, so they naturally had a lot in common.

The fact that the Nine-Headed Insect and the Bull Demon King became friends was actually a case of sticking together for mutual support.

Old Niu does not belong to any faction.

With both strength and wealth, one naturally becomes a target for many.

Nine-Headed Insect originated from the wild lands of the North Sea, so he had no background or backing.

They didn't even have any money.

But he also wanted to make a name for himself among the demons, so he and Old Bull hit it off immediately.

Moreover, Bibotan and Flaming Mountain are neighbors, so if the two can't be friends...

That would most likely turn them into enemies.

Two clever people, after a moment's thought, immediately became drinking buddies.

Let's make money together, and let's deal with enemies together.

Thorn Ridge is west of Bibo Pool, and east of Bibo Pool is Flaming Mountain.

If the three families join forces, the area within a radius of several thousand miles will become their territory and their domain.

So, after a little thought, the Nine-Headed Insect understood Princess Wansheng's plan.

He became increasingly indifferent to Princess Wansheng's affair with Li Jingxiao.

And to put it bluntly, no matter how beautiful or high-performing a car is, it's really just so-so after driving it for a while.

It's even possible that the Nine-Headed Insect had long been tired of Princess Wansheng.

So this guy actually invited Li Jingxiao to the banquet repeatedly.

After careful consideration, Li Jingxiao thought that since Lao Niu would eventually join Lingshan, he might as well get to know him beforehand and give him a few pointers.

When the old ox enters the sacred mountain in the future, he will surely remember the advice he gave him back then.

After all, Red Boy's fate had already changed.

In the original story, Red Boy is the attendant of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

They sounded like they had a high status, but in reality, they were just like servants.

Becoming a disciple changes everything.

The title "Master" and "Master" are not just empty words.

Moreover, most of the most powerful people in the world have a master.

Even Li Jingxiao received great benefits from listening to Laozi and the Bodhisattva preach.

They also have a much higher regard for the master-apprentice relationship than before.

Unfortunately, neither Laozi nor the Bodhisattva offered to take him as a disciple.

Otherwise, Li Jingxiao would definitely have immediately become his disciple.

However, Li Jingxiao seemed to have forgotten that the person who treated him so well might be waiting for him to take the initiative to become their disciple.

To put it bluntly, given their status, why would they be so eager to take you on as their apprentice?

Of course, we hope that Lee Kyung-hyo will take the initiative himself.

Unfortunately, Li Jingxiao had an unfair advantage, so he never really considered voluntarily going to someone's door to be their slave.

I think maintaining the current relationship is pretty good.

Of course, if Laozi or the Bodhisattva were to actually accept him as a disciple, Li Jingxiao would not hesitate to kowtow without the slightest hesitation.
-
Since he was planning to see Lao Niu, Li Jingxiao looked at Xingxian.

Xingxian shook her head and said with a smile, "Master, if you have something to do, please go ahead. I am used to staying in this Thorn Ridge."

Stay home and wait patiently for Master to return.

Li Jingxiao nodded, but he wondered why Xingxian, with her personality, had become best friends with Princess Wansheng.

He even took the initiative to have Princess Wansheng serve him.

This might be because the more someone lacks something in their personality, the more they want to be friends with people whose personalities are the opposite of theirs.

Princess Wansheng definitely wanted to gather more manpower and power to fight against the West Sea Dragon Palace.

Unfortunately, it's not something you own. Trying to rely on external forces is always a case of 'overthinking and ending up with nothing.'

Even the best of friends are unlikely to die for you.

Not to mention they're all just drinking buddies.

Nine-Headed Insect and Princess Wansheng watched as Li Jingxiao agreed to attend the banquet.

We must take him to the Bull Demon King's place immediately, lest Li Jingxiao change his mind again in a few days.

To Li Jingxiao's surprise, the destination was Moyun Cave on Jilei Mountain, the cave where the Jade-Faced Fox resided.

Unexpectedly, they ended up at the Banana Cave on Mount Cuiyun, the place where Princess Iron Fan was staying.

This put Li Jingxiao at ease.

Li Jingxiao hadn't forgotten the time when he, Zhu Bajie, and Hong Haier destroyed more than a dozen fox spirit brothels.

Although Red Boy wouldn't tell Old Ox about this.

It's even less likely that they would tell the Jade-Faced Fox Spirit.

But Li Jingxiao was still somewhat wary.

Li Jingxiao feels more at ease going to Banana Cave now.

If Princess Iron Fan were to find out about the Fox Fairy Academy, she might treat me with the utmost respect.

Upon arriving at the Flaming Mountains, Li Jingxiao stood in the sky and looked down, and indeed, all he could see were deserts and barren mountains.

Only in a few small areas can you still see traces of green.

Meanwhile, the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan made a fortune just by selling water using their banana leaf fan.

Of course, it wasn't about selling water directly, but rather using banana leaf fans to fan fires and bring rain in certain areas of the Flaming Mountains, which stretch for 800 li each year.

Meeting the annual water needs of some villages and towns can generate a large amount of money and offerings.

As for the issue of sustainable development, that's not something the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan need to consider.

This might be one of the reasons why Lao Niu became the son-in-law of the Jade-Faced Fox Spirit.

Moreover, in order to avoid conflict with Princess Iron Fan, the Jade-Faced Fox Spirit not only kept an old ox.

She even provided for most of Princess Iron Fan's expenses.

So Sun Wukong came to him and said that he was the sworn brother of the old bull.

At Princess Iron Fan's request, she came to find Old Niu and asked him to go home.

That's why the Jade-Faced Fox got so angry and directly called Princess Iron Fan shameless.

If Princess Iron Fan's everything—food, drink, and everything else—was provided by her concubine, what face does she have to ask Old Niu to come home?

Even in the mind of the Jade-Faced Fox, she had spent money to buy the ownership of the old ox.

That old ox was her man.

And Old Niu did indeed prefer to stay with Jade-Faced Fox.

So much so that when Sun Wukong transformed into the Bull Demon King and returned to the Banana Cave...

Princess Iron Fan was both happy and impatient to make love to the old ox.

Unfortunately, Sun Wukong was a super straight man who didn't understand love and romance at all.

Replacing him with Li Jingxiao to be Red Boy's second father wouldn't be a bad idea either.
-
Upon arriving at the Banana Cave, not only did the Old Ox and Princess Iron Fan personally come out to greet them.

He was accompanied by a middle-aged Taoist priest in a Taoist robe.

Upon asking, I learned that this person was called 'Ruyi Zhenxian'.

Li Jingxiao understood immediately upon hearing this, and after a little thought, he came up with the idea.

This person is the Taoist priest from the Women's Kingdom who seized the 'Abortion Spring'.

This left Li Jingxiao speechless once again.

The Bull Demon King's family: his wife occupies the Flaming Mountain.

The son occupied the 800-li "Drill Mountain".

The brothers monopolized the abortion spring, while the concubine possessed immense wealth.

They're obsessed with money.

No wonder the old ox has lost the confidence and determination to fight against heaven and earth.

The saying "wine, women, wealth, and power can bewitch the heart" is indeed true.

In the end, they had no choice but to seek refuge with Lingshan.

However, Lao Niu's ending was actually not bad.

At least it didn't become the mount of the Buddha or Bodhisattva.

He even had his own mount, the 'Water-Avoiding Golden-Eyed Beast'.

He is also the only demon in Journey to the West who has a mount.

Upon hearing Li Jingxiao introduce himself, the Bull Demon King immediately frowned.

But Old Niu was a shrewd man after all, and he knew that although his son had lost his freedom, he had also found a powerful backer.

If you really care about it, it's actually a good thing.

But Princess Iron Fan, as the mother, didn't care about all that.

All she knew was that her son had been kidnapped, and that seeing Red Boy again wouldn't be as easy as it used to be.

Think about it.

Previously, if Princess Iron Fan wanted to go to the Fire Cloud Cave, she could simply fly there.

Now, if she wants to go to Mount Putuo, it's not something she can do just because she wants to.

They might be stopped by the Black Bear Spirit before they even reach Mount Putuo.

So when he heard that Li Jingxiao was the one who tricked Red Boy into becoming a disciple of the Bodhisattva...

Two swords instantly appeared in his hands, and he pointed them at Li Jingxiao and started cursing.

Li Jingxiao naturally wouldn't hold a grudge against a woman.

Moreover, in Li Jingxiao's mind, Red Boy was indeed tricked into becoming a disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Although the ending was better, in the end, freedom was still lost.

It's perfectly normal that Princess Iron Fan doesn't like him.

Old Niu stopped his wife, put his arm around her, and walked her aside to whisper something to her.
