I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

under night.

Rakshasa Kingdom.

A middle-aged woman in a red dress with disheveled hair sat outside the main hall of the princess's residence, holding a banana leaf fan, as if waiting for something.

Soon after, a golden cloud carrying everyone arrived swiftly and landed slowly outside the main hall. The woman sitting on the steps immediately raised her head slightly and asked coldly:
"Bull Demon King, why did you bring so many people here? Are you planning to bully the few with numbers?"

After the golden clouds dissipated, the Bull Demon King dared not answer, and instead looked with pleading eyes at the group of reinforcements he had invited.

"Sister-in-law..." Sun Wukong forced a smile and slowly stepped forward.

"Shut up!"

Princess Iron Fan suddenly raised her banana leaf fan and pointed it directly at Sun Wukong's face: "This is a family matter between me and the Bull Demon King, and it has nothing to do with you. I hope you will not interfere."

Sun Wukong: "..."

He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he subconsciously looked at his master.

Under his influence, everyone's attention turned to Qin Yao, and the atmosphere suddenly froze.

Faced with this chillingly desolate atmosphere, Qin Yao suddenly laughed and asked, "Princess Iron Fan, what is your demand after all this trouble?"

"What business is it of yours what my demands are?" Princess Iron Fan said arrogantly. "I'll emphasize again, this is my family matter and has nothing to do with you."

"In breaking the golden bell and rescuing Wukong, Benefactor Niu helped us a great deal, so now that he is in trouble, we should help him without hesitation. This is related to us," Qin Yao said earnestly.

Princess Iron Fan's lips twitched, and she said, "Haven't you heard the saying that even an upright official can't settle family disputes? Even if you want to help, you shouldn't meddle in his family affairs. Otherwise, the more you interfere, the more complicated things will become, and the more difficult it will be to control the situation!"

She felt that she had been very ruthless in her words, second only to turning her back on him. She thought that the other party should be speechless now.

To her utter surprise, this demonic monk acted completely out of the ordinary. Faced with her aggressive attitude, he didn't even change his smile, and instead asked calmly, "Are you really Princess Iron Fan?"

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, and Princess Iron Fan turned pale, exclaiming in a panic, "Nonsense! If I am not Princess Iron Fan, then who am I?"

Qin Yao said, "Perhaps it's a demon, perhaps it's a demon immortal..."

Having traveled tens of thousands of miles westward, I have gradually accumulated a lot of experience. One of them is that if a person behaves very differently from before, or even does all sorts of incomprehensible things, then he is probably possessed by an evil spirit, or simply replaced by some kind of monster.

That's why I'm asking about your demands. If you can't provide a convincing reason, the outcome is self-evident.

Upon hearing this, not only his disciples but even the Bull Demon King himself felt a hint of suspicion. He couldn't help but open his magic eyes to observe carefully, but he couldn't find anything unusual.

Princess Iron Fan took a silent breath and said, "Alright, since you've put it this way, I'll be frank. My request is to divorce the Bull Demon King!"

"What?" The Bull Demon King suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed in shock.

"Divorce, divorce, divorce."

Princess Iron Fan repeated herself three times, then asked, "Did you hear me clearly?"

The Bull Demon King asked with a complicated expression, "Why?"

"The reason is simple. Seeing you constantly flirting with other women and seeming very happy, I tried it myself and found that I was indeed very happy."

That happiness is gone forever, and now I even find you repulsive.

My original plan was to keep this secret, and by constantly causing trouble, I would make you divorce your wife on your own initiative, and then we would part ways, you could do your thing, and I would do mine.

"But I never expected that you would invite this evil monk here..." Princess Iron Fan said.

"Wait a minute." Upon hearing this, Qin Yao suddenly called out softly.

"Wait for what?" Princess Iron Fan asked.

Qin Yao stared intently into her eyes, as if he had figured something out, and said with certainty, "You are a crow spirit!"

Princess Iron Fan's expression changed drastically, and she shouted, "Nonsense! I am Princess Iron Fan!"

Qin Yao shook his head: "The real Princess Iron Fan would not call me a demon monk. Moreover, the last person I remember calling me a demon monk was a crow spirit."

Her exact words at the time were, "You monk, you seem righteous at first glance, but your words and actions are like those of a wicked monk!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

Princess Iron Fan chuckled dryly, then pointed at Qin Yao and said, "You're really something. Is the title 'demon monk' only used by crow spirits?"

To so categorically distort facts based solely on a single term—don't you find that utterly ridiculous?

Qin Yao waved his hand and said, "I don't think so, because the reason you gave is not convincing!"
In fact, Princess Iron Fan didn't only find out about Niu Benzhu's womanizing ways now. If she had any intention of imitating him, she wouldn't have waited until now to have an affair.

Moreover, even if what you said is true, the normal reaction after you have just cheated on someone is excitement, secret pleasure, a little guilt, or even joy.

In this situation, you would only treat the cow benefactor better, more considerately, and more gently, instead of forcing him to divorce in this way, as you are doing now.

Even assuming she was truly considering divorce, a better approach would be to gather evidence of his infidelity and demand he leave with nothing. It's impossible to escalate to this point.

Princess Iron Fan was dumbfounded and completely stunned.

The others reacted in much the same way, and the huge main hall fell silent instantly.

"How could a monk like you know so clearly the reaction after stealing from someone?" After a moment, Princess Iron Fan shouted, her voice trembling with fear, "So you're saying this is all made up, all fabricated!"

“It’s not made up,” the Bull Demon King suddenly interjected.

Princess Iron Fan: "..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the Bull Demon King said earnestly, "Just as the Holy Monk said, I feel very excited every time I flirt with women, and the peak of this excitement is a secret pleasure."

After having fun, I go home feeling happy, but seeing Shan Shan also brings a pang of guilt, so I treat her even better, almost obeying her every word.

Everyone: "..."

“People are different from each other, and demons are different from each other. You fit the description of the demon monk, but I may not.”

After a long pause, Princess Iron Fan still refused to admit that she was an imposter, and said slowly and deliberately.

Qin Yao said sincerely, "Benefactor Crow, from the perspective of saving Wukong, you can be considered our benefactor. This humble monk really doesn't want to see you make one mistake after another, until the damage is irreversible."

Although I am a monk, I am also a man, and I know very well what a man's mentality would be in this situation.

If you turn back now, Master Niu can still forgive you, after all, your motivation was love for him, and he also feels indebted to you.

But if you continue down this path and things escalate to a complete breakdown, the outcome will undoubtedly be a fight to the death. So, turn back now; it's not too late.

Princess Iron Fan's expression shifted between light and dark. Finally, she glanced at the Bull Demon King, then transformed into a black-clad crow spirit.

"Crow, it really is you!" the Bull Demon King exclaimed. The crow spirit sneered, "Besides me, who else would go to such lengths to obtain you?"

The Bull Demon King was speechless, then asked, "By the way, what about Iron Fan? You didn't do anything to her, did you?"

The crow spirit said, "She was locked in a cave by the spirit monkey, and I don't know her current situation."

"A clever monkey?" Qin Yao suddenly interrupted, "Benefactor Crow, what clever monkey?"

"It's the clever monkey, a very intelligent monkey, but unfortunately it encountered a demonic monk like you who can see through people's hearts," the crow spirit said.

Qin Yao slowly narrowed his eyes and said, "Could you describe what this spirit monkey looks like?"

The crow spirit said, "He looks to be about ten years old, dressed in white, with a face full of golden fur; by the way, the tip of his tail is also white."

"Six Ears?" Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong exclaimed instinctively.

The crow spirit said, "His ears are indeed quite peculiar. What, do you know him?"

Sun Wukong muttered, "I know him, but it couldn't possibly be him!"

Qin Yao said in a deep voice, "Benefactor Crow, please take us to the cave where Princess Iron Fan is being held immediately. She is in danger."

The crow spirit's pupils contracted: "Do you have a grudge against that monkey?"

“We have no grudge against him, but he shouldn’t be here. Therefore, this matter must be of great importance, and there must be a huge conspiracy involved,” Qin Yao said.

Crow Spirit: "..."

"Ya Ya." The Bull Demon King suddenly grabbed her hands, looked into her eyes and said, "Please help me rescue Shan Shan."

The crow spirit muttered, "What good would it do me to rescue her?"

"Sharing hardships is the best way to eliminate conflicts and estrangement. If you are willing to go through life and death together, then Princess Iron Fan will most likely accept you," Qin Yao suddenly said.

The crow's mind suddenly stirred, and it stared intently at Qin Yao, saying, "The Bull Demon King helped you, so you have an obligation to help him. I also helped you, so will you help me?"

Qin Yao chuckled and said, "Aren't I helping you right now? Once we get to the cave, you can rush to the front, and Benefactor Niu can follow closely behind."

We will give you, your family of three, time to weather the storm together, which will make it easier for you to grow closer.

"Mr. Niu, you have no objections to this arrangement, do you?"

The Bull Demon King waved his hands repeatedly: "No objection, no objection. If we can rescue Shan Shan and get her to accept Ya Ya, then you, Holy Monk, will be my reborn parents. In the future, whenever you summon me, I, the Bull Demon King, will be at the forefront, fully armed and ready to charge!"

Qin Yao chuckled and then said, "For you, this is a case of crisis and opportunity coexisting."

The crow spirit breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly transformed into a black crow and soared into the sky: "Then let's hurry and leave, lest things change if we delay."

After half a stick of incense.

The crow spirit led the group to a cave. After transforming back into human form, it pointed to an entrance wide enough for three people to pass side by side and said, "This is it."

Sun Wukong immediately activated his Fiery Eyes of Truth and looked into the cave, but his vision was obscured by layers of mist, making it impossible to see what was inside.

Qin Yao said, "Benefactor Crow, why don't you try to summon that spirit monkey?"

The crow spirit nodded and called out, "Spiritual monkey, spiritual monkey..."

"Who's outside? Help!"

Before the words were finished, Princess Iron Fan's voice came from inside the cave.

The Bull Demon King was overjoyed and was about to speak when Qin Yao covered his mouth, forcibly silencing him.

The crow spirit took in the whole scene and immediately understood his meaning. He shouted loudly, "Princess Iron Fan, I am the crow spirit."

"A crow spirit?" Iron Fan asked in astonishment, "How did you get here?"

The crow spirit said, "I heard you were trapped here, so I came to rescue you."

Iron Fan: "..."

"Wait here, I'll go in right away."

In the midst of its silence, the crow spirit glanced back at the Bull Demon King, then walked towards the deep mountain cave, turning back every few steps.

"Master, I have a feeling this is a trap," Pigsy suddenly said, tugging at Qin Yao's sleeve. "Just like that golden gong in the Little Thunder Temple!"

Qin Yao nodded and said, "You have a good feeling. This is a trap, and there may be unpredictable dangers hidden in it."

Bull Demon King: "..."

After being told off by the master and apprentice, he's now too afraid to go inside.

"Holy monks, you can definitely save us, right?" After a moment, he swallowed hard and asked earnestly.

Qin Yao nodded: "Don't worry, we have the Heavenly and Buddhist realms behind us. Even if we invite all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, we will still rescue your family of three."

Even with his own life at stake, the Bull Demon King was still somewhat worried and pressed for an answer: "What if the rescue isn't timely?"

“If the rescue isn’t timely, I’ll ask Buddha to summon the souls of your family of three. There’s no need to ask what will happen if the summoning fails. Since you want to marry the crow spirit, you can’t just avoid taking any risks at all, can you?” Qin Yao said earnestly.

The Bull Demon King gritted his teeth and solemnly said, "Holy Monk, the lives of my family of three depend entirely on you."

After saying that, he pressed on and rushed into the cave.

"Master, what should we do now? Should we go to heaven to ask for reinforcements?" Sun Wukong pursed his lips and asked, glancing sideways.

Even with his discerning eyes, he couldn't discern the true nature of this cave. He worried that if he blindly rushed in, he would be trapped in some magical artifact again!
He never wanted to experience that feeling of being trapped in the golden bell again.

Qin Yao looked up at the mountain peak and said, "After half an incense stick has burned, you can split this mountain peak open and see what secrets the cave holds."

"Xuanzang, oh Xuanzang, your thoughts are still so different from ordinary people." At this moment, the voice of the gibbon suddenly came from the mountain.

"It's the Long-Armed Ape!" Pigsy would never forget that voice, and immediately said, "Master, quickly chant the incantation and teach him a lesson. He's still not behaving even with the headband on; he deserves to die in pain!"

"idiot!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a mysterious mirror suddenly appeared on the mountain wall. In the mirror, the Six-Eared Macaque sat cross-legged on a stone platform, his lips tightly closed, but he spoke in the voice of the Long-Armed Ape: "Take a good look, is that headband still on my head?"

"You escaped the control of the golden headband by transferring your soul to another body? No, impossible! The golden headband not only locks the physical body, but also the soul. How did you manage to do that?!" Sun Wukong suddenly widened his eyes and asked in shock.

If he could freely transfer his soul and body while wearing the golden headband, he would never have been able to accompany his master all this way; he would have done so long ago when they escaped from the Five Finger Mountain… (End of Chapter)
