Chapter 696: Chapter 696
A thousand li south of Cuiyun Mountain, there stands a Divine Mountain that is perpetually struck by thunderbolts, hence its name, Jilei Mountain.
Originally, Jilei Mountain was the cave mansion of the Ten Thousand Year Old Fox King but later was given as a marriage dowry to the Bull Demon King, becoming his Demon Mansion. It was surrounded by dozens of Demon Kings, large and small, with hundreds of thousands of Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals, truly the King of Demon Kings, intimidating the Western Continent.
Inside Jilei Mountain, the Bull Demon King lay in a bed draped with lotus-patterned silks, flanked by more than a dozen Fox Demon beauties scratching their heads and posing seductively, giving the Bull Demon King a full-body massage.
A stunning Fox Demon clad in a white, translucent silk dress walked out from outside, and the dozen or so Fox Demon beauties on the bed quicky got up, respectfully withdrew, and left the cave.
The Bull Demon King opened his bleary eyes, yawned, and lazily beckoned with his hand, "Beauty, come here."
The Jade-Faced Fox swayed her hips as she walked over and sat next to the Bull Demon King, leaning against him.
The Bull Demon King wrapped his arm around the Jade-Faced Fox.
"Beauty seems to have a clouded expression today, is there something on your mind?"
With enchanting eyes, the Jade-Faced Fox spoke tenderly, "Great King, I’ve heard that Tang Sanzang who is on his journey to the West to obtain scriptures will come here."
The Bull Demon King dismissively said, "He’s just a monk on a quest for scriptures, not worth our attention."
"But Great King, I want it~
I’ve heard that if one obtains a piece of Tang Sanzang’s flesh and offers it to a Saint, one can achieve immortality, eternal and indestructible."
The Bull Demon King’s expression changed immediately, he muttered, "A Saint!"
He looked up with reminiscence in his eyes, and then shook his head, "It’s fake, a Saint does not have the ability to grant others immortality."
Pouting, the Jade-Faced Fox said, "Great King, how do you know it won’t work if you haven’t tried it?
Great King, you are a valiant hero with vast Divine Skills that intimidate thousands of demons.
But I am just a weak girl, the Primordial World is full of dangers and conspiracies, who knows when your consort might be gone, I wish to accompany you forever, to serve you, Great King!
Great King, Tang Sanzang will be delivering himself to our door soon, why not give it a try? Even if it doesn’t work, there’s no loss."
"No need to try, it’s definitely fake."
"Great King~~ it’s a rumor throughout the Three Realms, how could it be baseless?"
"Heh heh~ It’s definitely spread on purpose by someone, and whatever the reason, I don’t know, but there must be no small scheme behind it. I may not be afraid, but there’s no need to get involved in this unnecessary trouble."
The Jade-Faced Fox’s gaze darkened, then she smiled and said teasingly, "Great King, it’s said that your sworn brother from the past, the Great Sage Equalling Heaven, Sun Wukong, is protecting Tang Sanzang. You’re not afraid of Sun Wukong, are you?"
"Hmph~ Afraid of him? Just a Wild Monkey."
"Then, Great King, would you capture Tang Sanzang for me? I really want it~"
"Haha~ We’ll talk when they get here. Now let’s do something fun." The Bull Demon King grabbed the Jade-Faced Princess in his arms, his big hand caressing her body.
"Brother Niu, your brother has arrived, and you won’t come out to meet him." A massive voice came from outside, followed by a series of thunderous sounds of battle, with the continuous echoes of screams.
Bull Demon King’s complexion changed, and he suddenly stood up, murmuring, "How did Sun Wukong come here?" Battle Armor began to appear on his body as he took big strides towards the outside.
Jade-faced Fox also rose from the lotus bed, propping herself up with her hands and said coldly, "Someone come, help me dress."
Immediately, two groups of Fox Girls emerged from a side passage, carrying clothes and weapons in their hands.
Outside the Sky Scraping Cave of Jilei Mountain, there lay a spacious square, previously a place where Demon Soldiers practiced, but now thousands of Demon Soldiers and Demon Generals lay across the square, uttering pained groans.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie stood atop a low hill in front of Jilei Mountain, one carrying the Jingu Bang, the other holding the Nine-toothed Nail Rake, pointing and laughing unrestrainedly.
Surrounding them, a group of Little Demon Kings, each holding weapons and Magic Treasures, looked towards Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie on the low hill with a mix of shock and fear. They were so powerful that they simply could not be defeated.
Boom—a thunderous sound came from halfway up the mountain as the doors to the Sky Scraping Cave flew open, and the fully armed Bull Demon King strode out. Seeing the ground covered with injured Demon Soldiers and Generals, his heart roared with anger, shouting, "Sun Wukong, you dare to act wildly on Jilei Mountain, who gave you such gall?"
Sun Wukong, with the Jingu Bang over his shoulder, let out a strange chuckle and said, "Brother Niu, I’ve just rushed over from Cuiyun Mountain, who do you think gave me the courage?
We seven brothers once swore brotherhood through our passionate blood, with hearts interlinked, Brother Niu, now that you abandon your wife and child, do you still consider yourself a hero?"
The Bull Demon King’s furious aura abruptly stagnated, and his facial expression became unnatural.
The Jade-faced Fox, dressed in tight-fitting battle attire and wielding weapons, walked out from the cave and stood beside the Bull Demon King, her valiance mixed with a delicate charm, presenting an alternative beauty.
Jade-faced Fox called out loudly, "My lord, that Princess Iron Fan, looking all chaste and loyal, yet now it seems that she’s found men on the outside, and even took two, both as ugly as can be."
Bull Demon King suddenly turned his head, shouting fiercely, "Shut your mouth!" His eyes flashed viciously.
Jade-Faced Princess jerked with fright and immediately fell silent, lowering her head with reluctance and anger in her eyes. He’s actually angry with me because of that woman.
Bull Demon King looked at Sun Wukong, saying calmly, "Younger brother, this is my family affair, isn’t it inappropriate for you to intervene?
In consideration of Iron Fan’s face, I will not hold your misbehavior here against you. Leave at once, and we shall still be brothers in future."
"Heh heh—Brother Niu, you’ve got it wrong, this used to be your family affair, but not anymore."
Bull Demon King frowned and asked, "What do you mean by that?" His heart felt uneasy, wondering, could there really be something between Iron Fan and him? Impossible, Iron Fan’s taste wouldn’t be that poor.
To the side, Zhu Bajie called out, "Bull Demon King, our master and disciples were passing by Kusong Stream on our way to the Western Heaven to obtain the scriptures when Red Boy came to acknowledge his relatives. Big Brother gladly accepted him without being on guard.
After a feast, Red Boy took advantage of our drunkenness to capture our Master, saying that the separation of his parents had shattered his heart. He intended to present our Master as a gift to his parents in hopes of mending their relationship.
While Red Boy’s filial piety is commendable, such actions are unacceptable. Our Master holds a noble status and is no ordinary person. If you are sensible, quickly release our Master. Otherwise, when the Buddhist Arhats and Bodhisattvas descend, it will be the moment your household collapses and your people perish."
Bull Demon King’s bovine eyes stared wide with shock. What? Red Boy actually kidnapped Tang Sanzang to give to me?
A wave of warmth surged through his heart. Although he knew the rumors about Tang Sanzang were definitely false, his child didn’t know! He wanted to give his best to his father, and for a moment, his spirit was shaken, and his eyes became slightly warm.
Beside him, Jade-Faced Princess’s eyes also brightened, thinking that Tang Sanzang had been captured by Red Boy, and now her chance for immortality had come. She turned to look at Bull Demon King with fiery eyes.
Although Bull Demon King appeared rough and simple, he was not foolish. Perhaps a long, long time ago, when he was still in the East Sea, he might have been simple and honest, but after countless years of growth and experiences, even a rotting log could turn into a wood spirit, let alone him—an Innate Divine Beast. ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
