I am Jiang Ming, the Eternal Demon Emperor

Chapter 916 The Queen of the Women's Kingdom succeeded in her favor.

That evening, Jiang Ming was taken to see the treasures of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom.

Jiang Ming had already calmed the Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion down and agreed to help.

"Grand Tutor, why come so late at night? You can come tomorrow."

Jiang Ming already understood everything, but he still had to pretend.

"My dear brother, you may not know this, but those treasures are so dazzling that they can only be seen clearly in the dead of night."

The Grand Tutor was obviously talking nonsense.

As for Jiang Ming's three disciples, they had long been arranged to go to the temple in the Women's Kingdom, where they were well-fed and cared for.

The three disciples knew perfectly well what was going on, but they had to pretend not to. These eighty-one tribulations were now clearly going to test their master's abilities. They had already suffered the consequences of drinking the water of the Mother-Child River.

Now it's time for their master to experience what calamity and hardship truly mean.

"Grandpa, please."

Jiang Ming was led all the way to the Queen's harem in the Women's Kingdom, which was obviously where the Queen slept.

Once inside, the Grand Tutor cleverly made his escape, leaving only Her Majesty the Queen, dressed scantily, lying behind the beaded curtain.

"Your Majesty, the Grand Tutor ordered this humble monk to inspect the national treasures at night, but I don't know why I broke into Your Majesty's bedchamber."

Jiang Ming immediately feigned surprise and said.

"Brother, would you please admire the national treasures?"

The Queen's gentle voice rang out, and the beaded curtain was pulled open from both sides. Instantly, the Queen of the Women's Kingdom, lying on her side, had her full and rounded body half-hidden and half-revealed, fully exposed to the eye.

"His Majesty."

Jiang Ming was truly amazed; his memories seemed to instantly return to that life when he was Tang Sanzang.

It was at this moment that Her Majesty the Queen personally rose, preparing to slowly and deliberately ensnare Jiang Ming into complete ruin.

She rose herself, lit the candles, and with graceful steps, her waist swaying, said, "Brother, look, this is the national treasure I prepared for you. This candlelight is most discerning, a harbinger of today's joy!"

"I wonder what brings Your Majesty such joy?"

Jiang Ming repeated what he had said before, because he felt that changing the wording would make it imperfect.

"Brother, as the ruler of a nation, I enjoy countless riches and honors, but I have never truly experienced the joys of love. Today, you are here, it is truly a match made in heaven. In the future, you and I will ascend the throne together, and I will be the queen. From then on, we will be inseparable, living a life of blissful happiness, envied by all. Isn't this the greatest joy?"

Her Majesty the Queen approached Jiang Ming with tender affection, her eyes filled with unspoken words, overwhelmed with longing.

"Your Majesty, the Buddha's heart is free from all worldly desires. This humble monk has long since severed all worldly attachments and has no chance to enjoy worldly riches or the affections of beautiful women. Amitabha."

Jiang Ming pretended not to look at the Queen of the Women's Kingdom and said with a solemn expression.

"Heh, you say you've renounced all worldly desires, yet you keep your eyes tightly shut. If you open your eyes and look at me, I don't believe your eyes are empty. You dare not open your eyes to look at me, yet you talk about renunciation."

Her Majesty the Queen pressed closer to Jiang Ming, and a fragrant scent, like orchids and chrysanthemums, wafted towards him. Jiang Ming recalled all the things that had happened in the past, and as he was immersed in those memories, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Faced with the Queen of the Women's Kingdom's deep affection for him, he really couldn't control himself.

"Amitabha."

Jiang Ming recalled how humiliated and painful he had been during that ordeal.

"Brother, don't close your eyes, open them and look at me properly. I don't believe you don't care about me."

Her Majesty the Queen pressed on relentlessly, leaving Jiang Ming with nowhere to retreat.

Even if I open my eyes and look at you, what can you do about it?

Jiang Ming recalled the tough words he had once spoken. However, he just didn't dare to look any longer.

In the end, he was so forced that he ended up lying on the bed.

Just as Jiang Ming was in a daze, Her Majesty the Queen pressed closer, saying, "Brother, please say yes."

In the original storyline, Her Majesty the Queen was about to succeed, but the Scorpion Demon ruined her plans.

This time, she finally succeeded.

Jiang Ming, in his alter ego, pretended to be captured by the scorpion demon.

The real body naturally spent a night of pleasure with Her Majesty the Queen, and even helped her cultivate to the level of a Celestial Immortal overnight. Only Jiang Ming had such ability, using the Great Dao to directly paste a Water Dao onto her body.

From now on, with her mind focused on cultivation, even reciting her name can help her achieve the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm. It's not a difficult thing.

As for the pilgrimage team, they heard that Tang Sanzang had been captured by the Scorpion Demon. Immediately, his three disciples began to search anxiously.

After searching for half the night, we finally found them.

The Nine-Tailed Earth Scorpion had already received Jiang Ming's instructions. After fighting a fierce battle with her three disciples and forcing them to retreat, she left quietly.

She and Jiang Ming had long been engaged, their love deep and their relationship intimate. Naturally, she received Jiang Ming's advice to leave quickly.

She also mentioned that her mortal enemy, the Pleiades Star Lord, might come. This is a racial advantage for her; if she encounters the Pleiades Star Lord and his mother, the Scorpion Demon will be unable to use even 30% of her full power and will surely die.

Ultimately, thanks to Jiang Ming's plan, this ordeal passed easily.

Six months later!

The pilgrimage team finally arrived at the Flaming Mountain.

This area mainly features the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan. Also, there's Red Boy, who is cultivating at the Flaming Mountain.

Although this ordeal was troublesome, the Bull Demon King still valued brotherhood and ultimately extinguished the fire at Flaming Mountain, without making things too difficult for the pilgrimage team.

Even if they want to make things difficult for you, there's nothing you can do about it.

Finally, we passed the Flaming Mountain.

The pilgrimage team successfully embarked on their journey westward. After five months, they arrived at Jinguang Temple.

This is where things got really interesting. Here, the pilgrimage team encountered the Nine-Headed Insect, and also the man who cuckolded the White Dragon Horse. On the White Dragon Horse's wedding night, he was still having a secret rendezvous with the Nine-Headed Insect.

It must be said that Princess Wansheng has good judgment. In terms of pure strength, the White Dragon is only a Taiyi Golden Immortal, while the Nine-Headed Insect is a Quasi-Saint. The two are not comparable.

The only pity is that, of all the things he shouldn't have done, the Nine-Headed Insect shouldn't have provoked the pilgrimage team, nor should he have stolen the Buddhist relics. He even blocked the pilgrimage team's westward journey.

Therefore, this calamity is like a great tribulation beset him; it would be strange if he didn't suffer misfortune.

Ultimately, just like in the original story, the Nine-Headed Insect escaped after being severely injured.

Even with the three members of the pilgrimage team, plus Yang Jian, Xiaotianquan, and the six brothers of Meishan, they still couldn't capture the nine-headed worm.

The Celestial Hound is very powerful. Don't really treat it like a dog. It is a ferocious celestial beast with the cultivation level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal.

When the Six-Eared Macaque wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace, he was chased relentlessly by the Howling Celestial Dog, finding himself with nowhere to run in the heavens or on earth. He personally experienced the dog's tracking skills firsthand, finding them formidable and difficult to deal with.

Jiang Ming was already satisfied. She had arranged for the Scorpion Demon to be available for Her Majesty the Queen, and she would wait for him to return in the Women's Kingdom.

On ordinary days, let the Scorpion Demon give Her Majesty guidance in her cultivation.

She was advised to start her cultivation from the basics. Jiang Ming had already awakened her four spiritual roots—earth, water, wind, and fire—and her potential was immense. All that remained was diligent cultivation. With the Four Symbols True Scripture imparted by Jiang Ming, she would have enough to cultivate all the way to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
