The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 372 Thunder Flute

Xingxian was quite pleased with Yang Jian's arrival.

Moreover, she thought to herself that the wider her husband's circle of friends, the better Li Jingxiao's abilities and character were.

As Li Jingxiao's woman, Xingxian naturally felt honored.

But Princess Wansheng's gaze toward Yang Jian contained hatred, fear, and helplessness.

He knew he couldn't avenge himself against Yang Jian and Sun Wukong on his own.

Li Jingxiao couldn't possibly help her fight Yang Jian to the death.

Moreover, Yang Jian, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing did spare her life out of respect for Li Jingxiao.

Otherwise, their bones would have been eaten clean by the monsters and fish in the Azure Wave Pool long ago.

Dragon bones are a valuable item; for low-level demons, they are an excellent tonic.

So when Princess Wansheng saw that Li Jingxiao personally invited Yang Jian to take a seat, she simply said a few words to Xingxian.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Yang Jian had actually recognized Princess Wansheng long ago, and he could even see the hatred and confusion in her eyes clearly.

But Yang Jian didn't care at all.

There are plenty of demons and monsters in this world who are hostile to him. If they are truly capable, they can simply come and take revenge.

But in the end, who lives and who dies depends entirely on their abilities.

As for all sorts of schemes and tricks, they are nothing but clay chickens and earthen dogs in the face of absolute power.

Li Jingxiao didn't care about Princess Wansheng's thoughts.

This woman is actually very clever; she knows how to make choices that are most beneficial to herself.

To put it bluntly...

Although the Dragon King of Ten Thousand Saints is dead, almost all of the dragon sons and grandsons of the Azure Wave Pool have indeed perished.

But as long as Princess Wansheng lives, she will be the new master of Bibo Tan.

It's better to have what you have yourself than what your parents have.

If your parents are emperors, why not be an emperor yourself?

With that sycophant Nine-Headed Insect around, Princess Wansheng's life is actually more comfortable now than when she was a princess.

They have more power.

These powers were only secured thanks to Li Jingxiao's support.

That's why Li Jingxiao was so certain that this woman would make the right choice.

If he's really brainless, he can just give up on this woman.

Princess Wansheng's position in Li Jingxiao's heart was far inferior to that of Baihuaxiu and the others.

Of course, if she behaves honestly as a lover, Li Jingxiao wouldn't mind giving her some benefits.

As Li Jingxiao had predicted, he did not appear during the banquet.

But he didn't do anything underhanded, let alone seek revenge against Yang Jian.

Li Jingxiao and Yang Jian, on the other hand, became more and more talkative the more they drank.

In particular, Li Jingxiao deliberately talked to Yang Jian about martial arts and the Seventy-Two Transformations.

That brings us to Yang Jian's proudest moment.

As he got more and more drunk, he gradually became more and more talkative.

Before he knew it, Li Jingxiao heard a notification in his mind that he had gained 52 experience points.

Upon seeing that Yang Jian had 52 experience points, Li Jingxiao immediately realized that Yang Jian was slightly stronger than Sun Wukong.

Or rather, during the five hundred years that the monkey was imprisoned under the Five Elements Mountain.

Yang Jian's strength is now a notch greater than when the Monkey King wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace.

However, this one point might give them a slight advantage in the real battle.

However, it is also difficult to truly determine the winner.

Moreover, Yang Jian cultivates the "Eight-Nine Arcane Arts," which should have a much higher potential than Sun Wukong's "Great Celestial Immortal Technique."

The monkey was at its peak right from the start, but over the years, Li Jingxiao felt that the monkey's strength had not only not increased, but had actually decreased considerably.

As for the instances where he deliberately exerted only three, five, or seven tenths of his strength on his journey westward, that is indeed true.

But there were a few times when he was genuinely beaten until his head bled.

Of course, this was also due to being attacked by magical weapons and supernatural powers.

It was only during the battle with the Bull Demon King that the Monkey King unleashed his true power. Li Jingxiao summoned two golden-armored warriors to help the drunken Yang Jian to rest in a bamboo hut at the Muxian Temple.

As for safety, Li Jingxiao didn't believe that Yang Jian was incapable of fighting just because he was drunk.

Perhaps once they reach the bamboo hut, a surge of magical energy within them will rouse them from their slumber.

Moreover, this guy cultivates the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, making him indestructible like a monkey.

Although there are people who can hurt him, they are extremely few.

When Li Jingxiao saw Princess Wansheng that evening, he saw that she had a worried look on her face and tears glistening in her eyes.

It was immediately clear that this woman was doing it for her own benefit.

His only goal was to appease her, and if he could get one or two magical treasures, that would be even better.

Lee Kyung-hyo has never been stingy when it comes to obedient and intelligent women.

After placing three sixth-stage golden pills in front of Princess Wansheng, the woman excitedly pulled Li Jingxiao into a fierce battle several times.

Incidentally, Xingxian was also dragged into the mess.

The two female demons were so exhausted that they finally stopped.

On the contrary, Li Jingxiao was so comfortable and relaxed that he had no interest in cultivating.

He could only get up and lie down in the apricot grove, on the bamboo recliner in the pavilion.

While gazing at the moonlight, I focused on grinding through maps in the game.

Unexpectedly, I got a level 150 Thunder Flute.

It can control wind, rain, thunder, and lightning; the sound of its flute shatters everything it touches.

Sonic wave power +85%, spell power +85%, spell cost -85%.

Li Jingxiao immediately took a liking to the flute.

Any magical artifact that can enhance the power of spells while reducing their consumption is a treasure.

The fish-dragon zither given to Xingxian was only a level 30 piece of equipment.

However, spell power is increased by 30%, and spell cost is reduced by 30%.

The addition of soul-soothing and sonic effects made Xingxian extremely fond of this treasure after she received it from Li Jingxiao.

Princess Wansheng was very envious and begged for it more than once, but Li Jingxiao refused to give it to her.

However, Li Jingxiao was so happy at this moment that he planned to get up early the next morning.

I gave her my old Level 30 Jade Flute from the Azure Pool.

Spell power +25%, spell cost -25%.

It also has the effects of causing confusion and drowsiness.

Speaking of which, just by looking at the name, this magical artifact seems to have a connection with Princess Wansheng.

After Li Jingxiao had explored all the maps in the game.

There were quite a few treasures, but very few that Li Jingxiao would be interested in.

Soon, the melodious sound of a flute filled the apricot grove.

Moreover, this sound initially only rang out in the apricot grove.

It gradually expanded to Muxian Temple, and then to the entire 800-li Thorn Ridge.

Finally, even the distant Bibo Tan could faintly hear the sound of the flute.

After Li Jingxiao tested the distance, his mouth was practically crooked with a smile.

After another cheerful tune, Yang Jian, holding a folding fan, walked over with a smile.

"My dear brother, you are truly accomplished in both literature and martial arts. This piece of music is so delightful to listen to."

Li Jingxiao quickly waved his hand with a smile, indicating that Yang Jian was too kind.

But deep down, I was actually quite pleased with myself.

After all, the person praising himself is none other than the famous Erlang Shen.

If it were Sun Wukong, Li Jingxiao would definitely roll his eyes.

Monkeys are powerful, clever, and full of cunning ideas.

He's just a rough, uncouth guy who only knows how to wield weapons and has no sense of fun whatsoever.
