I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

"Master~~" Not long after the snow stopped, Sun Wukong suddenly returned in a rainbow, his voice arriving before his body landed.

Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice, and Qin Yao asked what everyone was thinking: "Wukong, what's going on now?"

Sun Wukong strode up to him, spread his hands and said, "I found the snow mountain, but I can't communicate with it, I can't seal it, and I can't beat it with my stick... It's like a mouse gnawing on a tortoise, I'm helpless."

Pigsy was immediately taken aback: "No way, Senior Brother, that snow mountain is actually harder than your golden cudgel?"

"I don't want to admit it, but it's true," Sun Wukong said with a complicated expression.

Qin Yao pondered for a moment and then slowly said, "Take us to that snow mountain. Such a solid sacred mountain cannot be without immortal spirits. I will try to make contact with them."

"Yes, Master."

Sun Wukong nodded in agreement. With a thought, a golden somersault cloud appeared before everyone: "Come on up. There's no need to be particular about taking things one step at a time at this point."

Qin Yao chuckled and was the first to step onto the golden cloud.

Pigsy and Sandy followed closely behind, while only the White Dragon Horse stayed behind to serve as a landmark.

After dealing with the snow mountain matter, as we turned back to continue our journey, this coordinate became the new starting point for our westward travels...

In the blink of an eye.

The golden clouds descended rapidly from the void and vanished without a trace before a snow-covered mountain draped in silver.

Unexpectedly, a gust of cold wind suddenly rushed out from the snow-capped mountain, chilling the four of them to the bone and making their hair stand on end.

"Hiss, this snow mountain must be sentient, otherwise the temperature wouldn't be so low." Pigsy exhaled a puff of white breath and said with absolute certainty.

"Master, it's up to you now," Sun Wukong said to Qin Yao.

Qin Yao nodded, raised his hand and pressed it on the snow mountain, and without caring about the other party's situation, immediately used a faith healing.

As the holy white light shone, the white-haired snow demon hidden in the cave suddenly sensed warmth.

This feeling, both strange and familiar, was something she hadn't experienced since falling from the path of immortality to the path of demonic cultivation, until this very moment...

"Monk, what are you doing?"

Touched by this warmth, the white-haired snow demon couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing her voice, Qin Yao immediately stopped the healing with the power of faith and smiled:
“My eldest disciple said that no matter how he called out to you, you didn’t respond, so I think your primordial spirit might be injured…”

White-haired Snow Fairy: "..."

This monk seems almost too naive, and his kindness is somewhat unexpected.

"My primordial spirit is not injured; I just don't want to pay attention to him," the white-haired snow demon said softly after realizing what had happened.

"Hey, do you even know who I am? How dare you look down on me like that?"

However, her silence only angered Sun Wukong, causing him to turn red with rage.

"Who you are is none of my business, and don't try to intimidate me," the white-haired snow demon said indifferently.

Sun Wukong's eyes were practically spitting fire as he threatened, "Demon, don't think I can't do anything to you just because you can withstand the Golden Cudgel. If you piss me off, I'll borrow the Listening to the Divine Beast and crush your snow mountain."

"It's no use borrowing anyone. Even if the Barefoot Immortal came, he couldn't collapse this snow mountain," the snow demon said.

"Alright, Wukong, step aside and don't get into this pointless argument." Seeing Sun Wukong's temper flaring up, Qin Yao suddenly spoke up.

Sun Wukong exhaled a long breath, obediently took a step back, and stopped arguing.

Hidden within the cave, the Snow Demon stared intently at Qin Yao, then suddenly asked, "You don't seem like the kind of moralist who would disregard the lives of demons. Why does the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons hate you so much?"

"Oh..." Pigsy shouted, pointing at the snow mountain and saying, "You let it slip, didn't you? You were sent by the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons."

The snow demon said, "I never intended to hide this, so how could I have let it slip?"

Pigsy: "..."

"Our feud with the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons began with a gibbon."

Because of his stance, his resentment, his jealousy, and other reasons, he constantly opposed us, and was eventually sealed away by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"But this ape is the beloved of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons, so she blamed me for this," Qin Yao explained patiently.

He knew that the snow demon was not inherently evil, and that she was Erlang Shen's aunt and the Jade Emperor's daughter, so he did not regard her as an enemy...

"I see." Inside the cave, the snow demon looked enlightened and murmured to herself.

"You don't seem like a vicious monster to me, so why did you join the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons and obey the orders of the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons?" Qin Yao deliberately prompted.

"That's another story."

The snow fairy said, "I'll tell you the story slowly when there's a chance later. As for now..."

Xuanzang, do you have the courage to sacrifice yourself to save people?

Just as Buddha cut off his own flesh to feed an eagle, Guanyin Bodhisattva gave up her chance to become a Buddha to save a woman.

Qin Yao countered, "What do you want me to do?"

"I will use my own body to subdue the demon!"

The snow demon said in a deep voice, "If you enter my mountain, I will spare thousands of people. If you turn away, I will send down a heavy snowfall, freezing all living beings within a hundred miles to death."

"Tang Xuanzang, I've heard your lifelong wish is to save all people? If you can disregard the death of all lives within a hundred miles, what right do you have to seek the true scriptures?"

Upon hearing this request, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie almost simultaneously gasped in shock.

To save the people while ignoring the deaths of countless lives—once they bear this sin, even Buddha himself might not be able to give them the true scriptures after they arrive at the Great Thunder Temple.

The Queen of Ten Thousand Demons hadn't shown herself for so long; it turned out she was preparing such a powerful attack.

"Wukong, Bajie, Wujing, I will first calm this snow demon down. You two hurry to the nearest Erlang Zhenjun Temple and ask Erlang Zhenjun to come and help."

He urgently needs blessings and merits; as long as your attitude is right, he will definitely come.

Just then, the three demons suddenly heard their master's voice transmission.

Then, without waiting for their response or questions, Qin Yao took the initiative to walk along the mountain path and gradually disappeared into the distance.

No one noticed that with each step he took, a golden light would emerge from beneath his feet and merge into the snow-capped mountain beneath him, eventually becoming inextricably linked with the earth…

"Senior Brother?" After a short while, Sha Wujing turned to look at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong pursed his lips and softly shouted, "Somersault Cloud!"

In an instant, a golden cloud rose beneath the three of them, carrying them swiftly toward the nearest city-state...

"They just abandoned you like that?"

On the mountain path, countless shimmering white snowflakes suddenly gathered together, transforming into the form of a snow demon.

Qin Yao paused slightly, then said with a smile, "No, they went to get reinforcements."

The snow fairy floated up lightly and circled around him: "You just told me everything without holding anything back. Aren't you afraid I'll do something to you?"

Qin Yao said, "I trust my intuition, and my intuition tells me that you still have a kind heart." The snow demon remained fixed in the void in front of him and asked, "Would a kind-hearted demon threaten you with the lives of all living beings within a hundred miles?"

Without hesitation, Qin Yao said, "You were probably forced into it, for example, by the pressure that the Queen of Ten Thousand Demons put on you."

Snow Fairy: "..."

She couldn't understand why the monk's intuition trusted her so much; but undeniably, this unconditional trust made her feel a great liking for him.

"Xuanzang, do you think I'm pretty?"

Before long, the snow demon suddenly flew backward a distance and opened its arms towards Qin Yao.

Qin Yao said, "With skin as white as ice and as white as snow, possessing both allure and purity, she is naturally beautiful."

"Then would you be willing to leave your monastic life and marry me?" The snow demon suddenly closed the distance between the two of them, looking at each other face to face: "You give up the so-called great mission of obtaining the scriptures, and I will give up my identity as a demon king. Let's be a loving couple."

"The most important thing for a loving couple is their love, not their appearance," Qin Yao said. "In other words, if I were to marry a pretty girl, I would already have a harem of wives and concubines."

Snow Fairy: "..."

"Evil cannot prevail over good. The Demon Kingdom will eventually be destroyed. I sincerely advise you to leave before it is completely destroyed." Qin Yao spoke again during his silence.

The snow demon suddenly awoke, waved her hand, and said, "This is the path I chose, and I have no regrets."

"If you're going in the wrong direction, the harder you try, the worse the result will be."

Qin Yao looked directly into her eyes and asked, word by word, "Were you truly happy during your time in the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom?"

If you can't even find happiness, what are you persisting in?
Even if you have a so-called reason for revenge, I won't say anything more.

Snow Fairy: "..."

"Sister Bingqing, what are you daydreaming about? Is he Tang Xuanzang?"

Suddenly, a white figure landed on the mountain path, transforming into a beautiful young woman with a round face and long legs.

"Rabbit, what brings you here?" The snow demon suddenly turned around and asked in confusion.

"I'm fast, so the Queen sent me to check on the situation. By the way, let me remind you not to talk too much with Tang Sanzang. That monk is good at bewitching people. You might easily be bewitched by him and even thank him after being sold out."

Snow Fairy: "..."

Qin Yao: "..."

"Sister, you haven't been bewitched by him, have you?" In the silence, the rabbit spirit spoke again, instantly waking the human and the demon.

The snow demon chuckled dryly and said, "Of course not, I'm not that stupid."

"That's good." The rabbit spirit smiled and said, "Let's hurry up and go. After we take Tang Sanzang back to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, we won't have to worry about Sun Wukong anymore."

The snow demon nodded, raised its hands to form a seal, and prepared to ride the snow mountain away. However, the seal on its hands flashed again and again, but the snow mountain under its feet remained motionless.

"What's wrong, sister?" Seeing this, the rabbit spirit slowly suppressed her smile and asked softly.

The snow demon looked at her hands in disbelief and exclaimed in astonishment, "I can't control the snow mountain anymore!"

Rabbit Spirit: "..."

A moment later, both demons turned to look at Qin Yao. The snow demon was the first to ask, "Was it you who did this?"

Qin Yao remained noncommittal, instead asking, "Did you see me make any other moves?"

"There are only the three of us here. If it's not you, then it could be me?" the rabbit spirit said.

Qin Yao still refused to admit it, saying, "Perhaps the snow mountain has malfunctioned?"

He knew very well that as long as he stubbornly denied it, the Snow Demon would definitely not lay a hand on him.

Conversely, if he openly admits that he was the one who did it, regardless of the reason, the other party will launch an attack on him at all costs!

"The situation is not good."

The rabbit spirit remained silent for a moment, then suddenly said to the snow demon, "Sister Snow Demon, let me send this Tang Sanzang to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons first, and then ask the Queen to help you when we get there."

Qin Yao said, "Rabbit spirit, you've misunderstood something. I entered the mountain voluntarily because I didn't want to see the snow demon harm living beings; I wasn't taken prisoner."

Rabbit Spirit: "..."

The snow demon's mind raced, and she said in a deep voice, "Rabbit, the situation is urgent. You must hurry back to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons and ask the Queen to come to our aid."

The rabbit spirit nodded heavily, then suddenly jumped up and left.

"Holy monk, monks do not lie. Is it really not you?" After watching her leave, the snow demon asked Qin Yao again.

"It really wasn't me," Qin Yao said. "How could I possibly have the ability to freeze a snow-capped mountain in place..."

The snow demon was speechless, and then disappeared into the mountain, wandering around and carefully investigating the reason for the mountain's loss of control.

"Erlang Shen, Erlang Shen, I have set up the stage for you. I hope you can perform well on the stage and not do any improvisation or go outside the stage."

Watching her run around quietly, Qin Yao silently said to himself.

In the original story, after Tang Xuanzang was forcibly abducted by the Snow Demon, Erlang Shen, who was trying to accumulate 100,000 merits to save his mother, became increasingly out of control.

To put it nicely, it's out of control; to put it bluntly, it's pure madness.

He looked down on Sun Wukong, so after accepting the mission to save Tang Sanzang, he didn't communicate with him at all.

He wanted to take the opportunity to wipe out the entire Demon Kingdom, and even said that sacrificing Tang Sanzang to destroy the Demon Kingdom was worthwhile.

In an attempt to thwart Sun Wukong's plans, he even beat and threatened the Turtle Prime Minister, telling him not to perform divination for Sun Wukong, and even made fun of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie...

Various outrageous actions have made what should have been a simple matter increasingly complicated.

The result was a multi-episode internal power struggle, which seemed exciting, but for Qin Yao, it was completely unnecessary.

To put it simply, you take your merits, I'll go through my trials, and everyone will have a bright and beautiful future. Wouldn't that be a win-win situation?

Half an hour later.

The snow demon had searched almost every corner of the snow mountain, but still couldn't find the cause of the loss of control.

This caused her emotions to become increasingly volatile, and she began to show signs of losing control...

"Master, we are back."

A short while later, just as she sat cross-legged in the cave, trembling all over and trying to control her violent emotions, a loud shout suddenly came from the top of the snow mountain.

The Snow Demon's expression changed drastically. She immediately transformed into a blizzard and flew out of the cave, appearing beside Qin Yao on the mountaintop. Looking up, she saw Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing standing on a golden cloud, while Erlang Shen and Xiaotianquan stood on a white cloud, all looking down at them from their elevated positions.

"Good nephew, I didn't expect them to actually invite you." After silently composing herself, Xue Yao said with a smile.

"nephew?"

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing all looked at Erlang Shen and exclaimed in unison.

"Don't call me nephew. I don't have a aunt who willingly degrades herself." Erlang Shen raised his three-pointed double-edged spear and said coldly, "Release the Holy Monk unconditionally immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!" (End of Chapter)
