I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

Within the Great Wilderness, there are five mountains and four seas. The five mountains are East Mountain, West Mountain, South Mountain, North Mountain, and Central Mountain; the four seas are East, West, South, and North, all named after directions.

On this day, under the blazing sun, a colossal dragon soared through the sky, blotting out the sun like a dark cloud, before finally descending slowly to the summit of Zhaoyao Mountain in the Southern Mountain Range.

Beneath the dragon's feet, inside the cave, a group of ape-like monsters with white ears and hairy bodies lay prostrate on the ground. In the end, only the monster king, wearing a golden crown and holding a golden spear, struggled to hold on.

The dragon transformed into a man in black robes, disappearing directly from the mountaintop into the cave. He glanced at the group of monsters and chuckled, "Xingxing."

"Roar."

The king of the Xingxing opened his large mouth, which was full of yellow teeth, and let out a fierce roar.

The dragon raised its hand, and billowing demonic energy condensed into a giant black hand, which flew out into the air, grabbed the King of Xingxing by the neck, and lifted him up from the ground.

"Surrender, or...death?"

The King of Xingxing struggled desperately, finally exhausting the dragon's already dwindling patience. With a crisp crack, the neck of this once tyrannical king of Zhaoyao Mountain was snapped.

The remaining Xingxing trembled all over and lay prostrate on the ground to show their obedience.

The dragon chuckled, turned around, and said, "Take your weapons and come with me to war!"

skyline.

The Temple of the Sun God.

The eldest prince stood with his arms crossed in front of a huge golden celestial mirror, watching the dragon travel eastward from Zhaoyao Mountain, capturing the white ape at Tangting Mountain, the giant python at Yuanyi Mountain, the deer-like creature and the black tortoise at Niuyang Mountain, and the male and female creatures at Danyuan Mountain... Diligent and hardworking, constantly fighting, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

He personally released the dragon, so how could he possibly ignore paying attention to it?
In fact, his initial intention in releasing the dragon was solely to have it fight against Hou Yi.

After all, Hou Yi killed several of the dragon's beloved siblings, and there was a deep-seated hatred between them.

But now it seems that the dragon clearly has a bigger scheme, such as... going against the heavens.

Ha ha.

If Heaven were so easy to defy, it would have been the first to rise up in rebellion long ago; how could this good-for-nothing have gotten a chance?

However, using this useless ambition to subdue the demons of the five mountains and four seas, even if he can't become the king of heaven, becoming the king of the human world for now isn't bad...

With this in mind, a plan to ambush the dragon gradually took root and eventually took shape!

a few days later.

With a series of victories and an invincible momentum, the dragon dethroned the kings of Nanshan and proclaimed itself the king of demon dragons.

He then led his ten demon generals back to Hefeng Village, the same village where he had met Hou Yi before, hoping to have another good talk with this stubborn fellow.

To his disappointment, they walked from one end of the village to the other but could not find any trace of Hou Yi.

Even if one releases their divine sense and radiates it outwards from this place, they cannot sense the other party's presence within a thousand miles.

"Who are you people, and what are you doing?"

After a long while, the dragon silently withdrew its divine sense and sighed. Just as it was about to take its subordinates into the sky, a questioning voice suddenly rang in its ears.

Looking up, I saw an old man dressed as a black wizard striding towards me, his eyes showing both wariness and curiosity.

The dragon's eyes flickered slightly, and it laughed, "We've come to find Hou Yi."

"Hou Yi?" Old Man Wu looked astonished.

The dragon nodded: "It's the male deity who protected your village before."

Old Man Wu was overjoyed: "Could you be gods too?"

The dragon paused slightly: "I suppose so."

Old Man Wu tried his best to suppress his overwhelming joy and asked tentatively, "May I ask, Your Majesty, are you an enemy or a friend of Hou Yi?"

"What does it matter if we're enemies or friends?" the dragon retorted.

Old Man Wu humbly said, "If we are friends, I am willing to help find Hou Yi; if we are enemies, I am also willing to help find Hou Yi."

The dragon laughed loudly: "You're quite interesting."

Old Man Wu said, "I hope the Heavenly God will grant me this favor."

The dragon stared at him for a while, still thinking about how to deal with him, when suddenly it noticed countless streams of light falling from the sky.

"Your Majesty, it is a god."

Behind him, a strange man covered in white cloth cried out in surprise.

The dragon was also startled, and then it saw a golden pillar of light descend from the sky, from which a deity slowly flew down.

The wizard father was stunned.

The scene was too shocking for him.

"What instructions does the Crown Prince have?" The dragon silently prepared to flee at any moment and asked in a low voice.

"I want you to kill Hou Yi," the eldest prince said calmly. "That will also repay the kindness of my release."

The dragon's eyes darted around, and he said with a fake smile, "He killed six of my brothers in succession, so naturally I have to hunt him down."

"Is it."

The eldest prince chuckled and suddenly raised his arms. Golden light instantly pierced through the entire Hefeng Village, forming a terrifying killing array.

The next moment, the heavenly soldiers and generals suddenly started running, making the killing formation even stronger.

The dragon's lips twitched: "The Crown Prince doesn't believe me?"

"Are you trustworthy?" the eldest prince asked rhetorically.

Jiaolong: "..."

In the midst of his silence, the eldest prince raised his hand and summoned a golden hoop, which he then pushed in front of the other person: "Wear this, and when you bring me Hou Yi's head, I will take it off for you."

The dragon, filled with resentment, gritted its teeth and said, "What if I don't wear it?"

"Brothers, it's time to come out." The eldest prince sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, the seven golden crows flew over at lightning speed. If it weren't for the First Prince's formation in Hefeng Village, the entire village would have been scorched into dust.

The dragon trembled all over.

This situation is completely different from his initial assumptions!
"I've lost my patience," the eldest prince said quietly.

The dragon's gaze swept over the golden crows, and finally it picked up the golden headband and gently placed it on its own head...

"very good."

The Crown Prince's expression suddenly brightened, and he summoned a golden compass, tossing it towards the dragon: "This item might help you find Hou Yi. From now on, it's all up to you."

The dragon silently gripped the golden compass, turned to Old Man Wu, and said, "Let's go."

Old Man Wu was taken aback: "Huh? Am I leaving too?"

"go!"

The dragon lifted his clothes with one hand and quickly led him and the demon generals away.

"May I ask, are you the Sun God?" Suddenly, a voice asked from the corner.

The eldest prince glanced to the side and saw two young men leaning against each other with reverence, their destinies so chaotic that they were impossible to discern.

"I am the sun god, who are you?"

The two immediately knelt down and kowtowed. One of them said, "Reporting to the Sun God, my name is Feng Yi and his name is Feng Meng. We are both from Hefeng Village."

The eldest prince nodded slightly: "You wanted to see me about something?"

"We are fortunate to have met the Sun God, and we wish to ask you for an opportunity to learn the Tao," Feng Yi said sincerely.

"Studying the Way?"

The eldest prince's eyes darted around, and he smiled as he spoke, "I am a god, born with divine power, and cannot teach you; however, I know a place that is most suitable for you humans to learn the Tao..."

In the vast wilderness. Inside an inn.

Consort Luo suddenly pulled the Jade Rabbit aside and asked curiously, "Aren't Qin Yao and Su Nu a couple in love?"

“They are lovers,” the Jade Rabbit replied.

"Then why didn't they show any affection along the way, and even at night they didn't share a room or a bed?" Consort Luo pressed.

"I don't know."

Jade Rabbit shrugged: "I haven't seen them do anything too intimate either. The most physical contact they've had is probably holding hands."

Consort Luo: "..."

something wrong.

There must be something wrong with this!

Otherwise, why would lovers maintain such a distance?

That night.

Even in the dead of night, Consort Luo was still deeply troubled by this problem. After much hesitation, she slowly arrived at Chang'e's door.

Inside the guest room, Chang'e slowly finished her cultivation and looked at the figure on the window paper, asking, "Is there something you need?"

"I have a question……"

"come in."

Consort Luo let out a long breath, her body passing directly through the doorway to the table beside her: "Thank you."

"Ask away," Chang'e said gently, waving her hand with a smile.

Consort Luo stared directly into her eyes: "Why do I feel like you and Qin Yao are deliberately keeping their physical distance?"

Chang'e paused slightly with her smile, then said, "We're just maintaining physical distance because we're not married yet."

Consort Luo: "..."

This reason... seems reasonable, but something just doesn't feel right.

Chang'e didn't say much. She couldn't very well tell the truth: neither she nor Qin Yao wanted to desecrate the two original bodies, could she?
They are indeed husband and wife, but Hou Yi and Chang'e in this world are still strangers!

"Just because of this?"

After a long pause, Consort Luo couldn't help but confirm.

"Isn't that reason enough?" Chang'e retorted.

Consort Luo: "..."

How could she say it wasn't enough?
Otherwise, it would make me seem somewhat promiscuous.

The next day.

Just as the group of four embarked on their journey to find Fuxi again, a dragon riding the raging wind and clutching a golden compass finally spotted its target on the ground amidst the blue sky and white clouds, and almost burst into tears of joy.

Although this golden compass is very useful, it requires nourishing one's life force every time it is activated. Even with his profound knowledge, he was still weakened by the draining of his energy and didn't know when he would be able to replenish the lost life force.

"Your Majesty, shall we make our move?"

Behind him, a demon general rubbed his hands together, eager to try his luck.

"Don't even think about lifting a finger." The dragon glared at him fiercely and scolded, "Even the First Prince couldn't handle this scourge, do you think you can manage it?"

Demon General: "..."

"Follow me." The dragon looked up, glanced at the scene, and waved decisively.

at the same time.

Qin Yao suddenly sensed something, turned around and looked, only to see a cloud of black mist rapidly disappearing into the mountains ahead...

"What's wrong?" Chang'e asked.

"Be careful, there's a demonic aura in the mountains ahead," Qin Yao replied.

After saying that, he suddenly paused for a moment.

That tone sounds so much like a monkey's! They're not on a pilgrimage to the West!
In the blink of an eye.

Like the four members of the pilgrimage group, they arrived side by side in the heart of the mountains. The Jade Rabbit looked up and suddenly shuddered. She then covered her mouth tightly with both hands to prevent herself from screaming.

The other three followed her gaze and saw a giant python coiled in the sea of ​​flowers, its enormous head drooping and fast asleep beside an apricot tree, on which hung three radiant apricots.

"Strange beasts, magical treasures... Could this be the legendary adventure?" Consort Luo's eyes lit up as she whispered with anticipation.

From a young age, Fuxi would tell her epic legends of various human heroes. In those legends, unlike the Celestials who were born with divine power, the heroes often embarked on extraordinary journeys through various adventures, such as persuading others to eat exotic fruits, falling off cliffs, or saving sages.

At this moment, how similar is this scene to the legendary story?
Hearing this, the Jade Rabbit's anticipation and longing surged wildly, even overshadowing her innate fear of the giant python: "There are four of us, but only three fairy apricots. How are we going to divide them?"

Qin Yao: "..."

Indeed, scams are everywhere.

Not falling for a scam doesn't mean you're smart; it just means you haven't encountered a scam that suits you!
If he hadn't sensed the black smoke, and if the karmic fire lotus within his own divine realm hadn't given him a warning, he probably wouldn't have fared much better than those two girls.

After all, he knew clearly that he was in the cycle of reincarnation, and such extraordinary encounters were all too common in the cycle of reincarnation!
"You two," Chang'e said with a smile, "it seems this fairy apricot already belongs to someone, doesn't it?"

“But in legendary tales, great heroes always obtain treasures from strange beasts, such as divine fruits or magical artifacts,” Consort Luo said.

Qin Yao laughed and said, "That's how it turned out, but true heroes are often those who are forced to fight rather than those who actively kill and rob. There's a difference between the two."

As soon as he finished speaking, the giant python suddenly opened its eyes, locked its gaze on the four people's bodies, and fiercely spat out a stream of venom.

Qin Yao: "..."

Gan.

Your cooperation is so good, it's like you've rehearsed it!
Chang'e raised her hand and gathered the power of moonlight to block all the venom.

However, the giant python quickly launched a fierce attack. Luo Pin immediately flew into the sky, activated her immortal magic, and fought against the giant python. Like a Valkyrie, she drove the giant python back and fled frantically, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

A moment later, after landing with a dazzling celestial light, Consort Luo smiled at the other three, waiting for their praise.

Qin Yao said, "Since you drove away the giant python, then this apricot tree and the three immortal apricots are your spoils of war. However, I still suggest that you destroy them immediately to avoid being ambushed."

Consort Luo's smile froze slightly.

What do you mean?
Is there something wrong with this apricot?

"Qin Yao, what did you see?" Chang'e immediately asked, revealing the thoughts of the three of them.

Qin Yao responded, "I didn't see anything, but I feel like this isn't some kind of lucky encounter, but rather a trap set for us."

Chang'e's right eyelid twitched slightly, and she immediately said to Consort Luo, "Qin Yao's intuition was right!"

Consort Luo secretly exhaled, turned her head to look at the three immortal apricots, and suddenly emitted three streams of light, cutting the immortal apricots in half.

In an instant, small red snakes crawled out from the tree and slithered down the trunk to the ground, sending a chill down Consort Luo's spine.

It was indeed a trap.

If you eat this stuff...

Just thinking about it gave her goosebumps all over, so she quickly unleashed a burst of divine fire, burning the apricot tree to ashes.

Beside her, the expectant little Jade Rabbit turned pale with fright, her voice trembling: "Who set this trap for us? Who wants to harm us?!"

Qin Yao looked up at the sky, his gaze fixed on the radiant sun: "Perhaps our whereabouts have been exposed."

Chang'e: "..."

This statement, seemingly irrelevant, actually provides a definitive answer! (End of Chapter)
