The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 403 Fat Sheep
Li Jingxiao originally had little interest in the Fox King, after all, he was not short of money.

Moreover, he has been selling alcohol in partnership with that old fox for the past few years.

This alone generates hundreds of thousands of taels of silver annually.

Li Jingxiao entrusted all the money to Xingxian for management, as for the other women.

Princess Peacock was not short of money at all. Although Peacock Cave was too close to Lion Camel Ridge, the territory under Princess Peacock's jurisdiction was actually only two or three hundred miles in radius.

However, this woman's status was high enough that, apart from the Golden-Winged Roc of yesteryear, anyone who knew she was the daughter of the Peacock King would give her some respect.

Once Li Jingxiao wiped out Lion Camel Ridge, the interests of the 800-mile-long Lion Camel Ridge were basically all seized by Princess Peacock.

Even most of the surrounding forces, out of fear of Li Jingxiao, went to great lengths to curry favor with Princess Peacock.

Every year, the amount of money offered as tribute alone is at least three or four hundred thousand taels of silver.

Li Jingxiao didn't care about the money either; it was all under the control of Princess Peacock.

As for the sisters Ao Huiji and Ao Xin, they have the support of the West Sea Dragon Palace and even the Four Seas Dragon Palace.

They could easily obtain millions of taels of gold and silver for their own use.

Baihua Xiu was even less short of money; her biological father was the King of Baoxiang Kingdom, and she only had two married older sisters.

Since he had no brothers, the King of Baoxiang Kingdom naturally chose Baihuaxiu as his successor.

It's no exaggeration to say she's the apple of everyone's eye.

In addition, although Li Jingxiao rarely invited gods and Buddhas to Boyue Cave for drinks, there have been more than a dozen banquets over the years.

Even if it's just out of courtesy, the gifts that come to the temple are always plentiful and valuable.

Of course, in Li Jingxiao's eyes, money was no different from a lump of iron.

But in the eyes of women like Baihuaxiu, it was still very important.

Among Li Jingxiao's women, only the Golden-Nosed White-Haired Rat and the Peony Fairy have any family fortune.

However, with Li Jingxiao as his backer, White-haired Rat was quite content living his quiet life in the Bottomless Cave of Trapped Sky Mountain.

Needless to say, the Peony Fairy is someone who doesn't care about anything else as long as Li Jingxiao spends more time with her.

Princess Wansheng of Bibo Pool also had a share in the wine-selling business.

In recent years, I've earned at least tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan every year.

This is one of the reasons why the Bibo Pool Dragon Palace was able to recover in such a short time.

As Princess Wansheng's nominal husband, the Nine-Headed Insect also benefited greatly from this.

But the thought of the Fox King's vast fortune of millions, or even tens of millions, having no heir is unbearable.

Just like the Bull Demon King, the Nine-Headed Insect began to harbor evil intentions.

The reason why Lao Niu advised Li Jingxiao to take action against the Fox King was very simple.

While trapped on Mount Putuo for the past few years, Lao Niu hasn't been idle.

Using his status as a Bodhisattva, Lao Niu had already made contact with many people on Mount Ling.

For some reason, he learned about the battle at Lion Camel Ridge from the Golden-Winged Roc.

The Golden-Winged Roc not only sought out the Nine-Headed Insect, the Flood Dragon Demon King, and the Locust Tree Scenery.

They also found the King of Foxes.

The old fox may not be very capable, but he has money.

The old fox was consumed by thoughts of how to avenge his daughter, which had been killed by Pigsy with a rake.

For this reason, they had to endure it for quite a long time back then.

Until the ordeal at Lion Camel Ridge, this old man squandered his entire fortune and summoned thousands of demons for Lion Camel Ridge.

They only wanted to cause trouble for Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.

Unfortunately, before the old fox could make a move, the Nine-Headed Insect was the first to betray the Golden-Winged Roc.

They also joined forces with the Bull Demon King, the Black Bear Spirit, and Red Boy to capture the Golden-Winged Roc and deliver it to Li Jingxiao.

The Demon King Jiao also vanished without a trace.

The locust tree spirit was almost killed by Sun Wukong.

In the end, the old fox could only hide with several thousand demons. It's certain that neither Li Jingxiao nor Sun Wukong knew that the old man only resurfaced to continue his life after Li Jingxiao had allied himself with the Golden-Winged Roc.

In order not to arouse Li Jingxiao's suspicion, the business of Dukang wine was never interrupted.

Moreover, with these thousands of demons as subordinates, business actually went quite smoothly.

Of course, the main reason is that Li Jingxiao killed too many demons on Lion Camel Ridge.

Seventy to eighty thousand were killed, and another one or two thousand scattered and fled.

They dared not stay in Lion Camel Ridge at all, and many monsters even ran away to places thousands of miles away.

In a short period of time, no significant force could be gathered within a radius of three to four thousand miles around Lion Camel Ridge.

Therefore, in the past few years, this old fox has easily amassed a large amount of wealth again.

Moreover, when he said he had given away all his wealth, he was simply using all the cash he had to recruit demons.

The fixed assets and the business of the Fox Fairy Academy are actually quite substantial and profitable.

Upon hearing this, Li Jingxiao realized that this old fox had actually sided with the Golden-Winged Roc back then.

With the addition of tens of thousands of subordinates, they immediately became interested.

I glanced at the character's level; it's already level 179 (4580 million/7900 million).

With just over 30 million experience points remaining, I can reach level 180.

Li Jingxiao would naturally not let these thousands or tens of thousands of demons go.

So, under the expectant gazes of the Bull Demon King and the Nine-Headed Insect, Li Jingxiao quickly nodded in agreement.

However, the Bull Demon King didn't intend to take action himself because he wanted to save face.

After all, he did become a live-in son-in-law.

He also had a great fondness for the Jade-Faced Fox Spirit.

If Lao Niu were to take action, he would inevitably be criticized behind his back.

Once the Fox King dies, he will take over the old fox's estate as his son-in-law.

That would make it seem perfectly legitimate.

But neither Li Jingxiao nor Jiu Tou Chong would allow Lao Niu to stand behind them and reap the benefits for nothing.

So although Lao Niu wouldn't do it himself, he was still in charge of gathering information.

Find out where the old fox is and how many men he has.

Li Jingxiao and Jiu Tou Chong even pushed all the problems involving the thousands upon thousands of people onto Lao Niu.

A few days later, the Bull Demon King not only found out where the Fox King was hiding.

They even knew everything about his businesses and his manpower.

No need to guess, Old Niu must have bribed Old Fox's men.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to investigate so thoroughly in just a few days.

But Li Jingxiao didn't care about any of that; his only target was the old fox's men.

In order to gather these thousands of demons together, the Bull Demon King kept delaying his actions.

It wasn't until the Fox King's birthday that Li Jingxiao was informed.

On the day of the Fox King's birthday, Li Jingxiao flew directly to the Hidden Dragon Cave.

With a single burst of Samadhi True Fire, the five or six thousand demons in the Hidden Dragon Cave were all reduced to ashes.

The character level has been raised to 180 (420 million/8000 million).

As for the gold and silver treasures inside the cave, Li Jingxiao ignored them and let the Bull Demon King take care of them under the guise of being his son-in-law.

Old Niu, of course, dared not take away Li Jingxiao's share.

Not only did they honestly send over a million taels of silver to Thorn Ridge.

Even the Fox Fairy Clan, which they had taken over, gave Li Jingxiao 30% of the profits.
