Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 51: Return of the Dragon King

"All right, my king."

Qingmian received the instructions and went to make the arrangements without going into details.

Everything is arranged properly.

Inside the Golden Horn Cave.

Xiao Chen stretched out his legs and lay on his back with his arms and legs spread out.

At the command of the Demon King, his "Golden Horn Dance Troupe" was summoned.

There were three or four small fox demons with lithe figures, busying around beside Xiao Chen, massaging his shoulders and loosening his muscles, allowing him to do whatever he wanted.

Xiao Chen opened his mouth. On his left stood an apricot blossom fairy with rosy lips, picturesque features and a refreshing fragrance. She was watching him closely, obediently bringing him a wine glass and serving him wine.

Although this apricot flower demon was a white apricot, there was no poem praising white apricots in the previous life. Xiao Chen only remembered the line "The spring scenery fills the garden and cannot be contained, a branch of red apricots comes out of the wall."

And because the red apricot has a bad connotation, Xiao Chen named her "Pink Apricot."

Fen Xing's appearance and figure are a bit like a fairy sister in her previous life. She is a female monster who specializes in serving him wine.

On the right of Xiao Chen, there was a charming-looking peach blossom demon with a face as rosy as peach blossoms, who was picking up a piece of fat venison and stuffing it into Xiao Chen's mouth.

The name of this peach blossom demon is "Taoyao", which is taken from "The peach tree is young and tender, and its flowers are bright and beautiful."

Tao Yao is very lovable. She is pure yet a little charming, charming yet a little pure. Her pair of peach blossom eyes are even more enchanting.

Taoyao looks very much like a female star named "Bingbing" whom he liked in his previous life. She is a fairy he personally appointed to serve him at meals.

"I am a fox that has practiced for a thousand years."

"A thousand years of practice, a thousand years of solitude."

"Can anyone hear me crying in the dead of night?"

"Can anyone see me dancing in the dim light?"

……

Inside the Golden Horn Hall, a little white fox demon was wagging its furry tail and singing the song “White Fox” that Xiao Chen had taught her, lowering her voice and pretending to look pitiful.

Sing a song.

"Keep playing music, keep dancing!"

"Xiaoqing, come and sing 'White Snake'! I taught you before."

Xiao Chen waved his hand with a smile, signaling the little white fox demon to step back and let the green snake demon come up.

There was no white snake demon that could transform into a good-looking form on his Kanyuan Mountain, so he made do with a green snake demon.

"Water of the West Lake, my tears!"

"I would rather turn into a flame with you."

“Ah~~Ah~~Ah~~”

"Wait a thousand years, wait a thousand years."

The green snake demon with a human head and a snake body sang while its slender snake waist, which could be held in one hand, twisted back and forth, showing off its graceful figure and elegant snake dance.

In the air above the hall, there are six colorful butterfly fairies dancing to the rhythm.

Next to them, there are five oriole bird demons who are good at music. They show off their moving singing voices and accompany the green snake demon.

Xiao Chen went to Donglai State again and captured three or four zither players and musicians. He taught the five mermaids how to play various instruments and sing.

"This is the simple and unpretentious day of our Monster King."

Xiao Chen laughed out loud and couldn't help but compose a poem on the spot:
"When you are happy, you should enjoy yourself to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the moon empty."

"Today there is wine and today is drunk, and tomorrow's worries come tomorrow's worries."

"Your Majesty, what a great literary talent!"

"You are awesome, my king!"

"My lord, I like your imposing manner."

As soon as Xiao Chen finished reciting the poem, he was immediately surrounded by the fawning and flattering looks of female fairies.

At this time, a furry red-haired little fox demon came up and, while Xiao Chen was not paying attention, kissed Xiao Chen on the face.

Xiao Chen slapped it hard, grabbed the red-haired little fox demon's tail, and scolded: "Xiaohong, don't be naughty!"

"My lord, don't you like it?"

The red-haired little fox demon moaned in pain.

Xiao Chen laughed loudly, asked Pink Apricot to continue serving him wine, and said to the little red fox demon, "You little fox, go down and dance for me too!"

"Your Majesty, I can't dance! I'm afraid of making a fool of myself and making you angry."

The red-haired vixen said shyly.

"My Lord, I just like the way you can't do it!"

"go with!"

Xiao Chen slapped the vixen's tail hard, frowned, and scolded her without mercy.

Naturally, the little red fox demon did not dare to disobey Xiao Chen's order, so he had to go down and dance clumsily.

Xiao Chen raised his glass, took a swig and laughed.

This was the day when he was king in the mountains.

So mediocre.

Xiao Chen lay on his couch, looking at the beautiful girls in the audience vying to please him, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

In this six hundred li Kanyuan Mountain, he is the only king!

Life and death are all in his hands.

What's wrong with being King Zhou?

How he wished he could just stay in his Kanyuan Mountain and be a licentious and immoral monster king for the rest of his life.

"Report! King!" The wolf demon who brought the message came running over.

"What's bothering you?"

Xiao Chen asked.

"There is a dark-faced man outside the door, who says he is the king's brother and wants to see the king."

The wolf demon prostrated himself on the ground, bowed and said.

"A black-faced man?"

"Let him come in and have a look."

Xiao Chen was stunned. Who is this black-faced man?

Not long after, a burly man wearing a wind-fire robe, with horns on his head and a face as black as charcoal, walked in.

"Toad!"

When the black-faced man saw Xiao Chen, he looked excited.

Xiao Chen looked at the horns on his head and the familiar features, and then asked tentatively:
"You are, Mo Lang?"

"Toad!"

The man in black strode forward and hugged Xiao Chen tightly, refusing to let go.

"Little dragon, long time no see."

Xiao Chen hugged Mo Lang, patted his back and comforted him.

He recognized that the black-faced man was their former boatman, Mo Lang, who would later become the second of the Seven Great Sages of Mount Huaguo, the Great Sage Covering the Sea, Jiao Demon King.

Hug for a long time.

The two separated, and Xiao Chen looked at the black-faced man with a face full of bitterness and hatred, and could not help but sigh:
“Brother, you have suffered a lot over the years!”

He always remembers the more than ten years when he, Sun Wukong, and the dragon demon king Mo Lang wandered around the world, walked the streets, and sought immortals and the way.

Although life was hard at that time, the three of them depended on each other, and it was also the happiest time for Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen's thoughts often drifted back to that evening.

The setting sun was as red as blood, dyeing everything in front of Master Subhuti's cave with a faint layer of sadness.

The black-faced boy standing in front of the cave looked particularly lonely and stubborn, but the stubbornness and indomitable spirit flashing in his eyes could not be ignored.

The sunlight stretched the black-faced boy's shadow long, as if telling of his determination not to leave.

However, in the end, with red eyes, clenched fists, and heavy steps, he walked down the mountain step by step, leaving behind a complex and resolute back.

Xiao Chen was actually a little surprised.

After more than 40 years of separation, the Jiao Demon King's cultivation has now reached the early stage of Taiyi Jinxian. Although he is a little weaker than the current monkey, he is still extremely terrifying.

Xiao Chen found it hard to imagine what kind of adventures this Jiao Demon King had in these years? What kind of powerful master did he worship?

But Xiao Chen thought that even in the timeline of the original novel, more than two hundred years later, this Jiao Demon King became the "Great Sage Who Covers the Sea", the leader of the demon world, and was listed among the Seven Great Sages along with Sun Wukong, Bull Demon King and others. It was somewhat reasonable for him to be ranked second.

However, the Mo Lang in front of him had a weathered look on his face, and looked like an old man, which was far from the black-faced boy in his memory.

"Could it be that in order to quickly improve his cultivation, Mo Lang has been practicing some quick skills that squeeze out his life force?"

"I guess that's probably the case. Although this kind of technique is fast to practice, it often has significant side effects."

"Otherwise, at Mo Lang's age, it's impossible for him to age so quickly and become like this."

Although Xiao Chen had some guesses in his mind, the martial arts method was the most core secret for practitioners, so he didn't ask too much.

"Toad, I went to Huaguo Mountain to look for the monkeys first."

"I heard that the monkey is now an official in heaven?"

Mo Lang sneered, his eyes almost spitting fire, and asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen's heart sank.

He saw with his own eyes Mo Lang's parents, relatives, and dozens of dragons, all died tragically at the hands of the heavenly generals. The thousand-foot-long black dragon almost dyed the entire sea red.

This, the vengeance of the Jiao Demon King, such a deep blood feud...

Coincidentally, at this time, the monkey ran to heaven to become an official.

Mo Lang has learned some skills, so he must be on this trip with the intention of seeking revenge.

As fate would have it, the two are now in this position.

Xiao Chen looked at Mo Lang's angry expression.

I am afraid that when the Monkey and the Dragon Demon King meet, they will become enemies instead of friends.

Xiao Chen waved his hand, signaling the singers and dancers to go down first.

"Hey……"

Xiao Chen couldn't help but sigh and pulled Mo Lang to sit down.

"Mo Lang, we haven't seen each other for decades. Let's not talk about the monkey first, let's talk about you."

"I'm weirdly tight."

"He was such a young and lovely boy back then, how come he has turned into such an old man today? I almost didn't recognize him."

Xiao Chen chuckled and teased.

"Toad, I descended Lingtai Fangcun Mountain that day and headed north to Beijuluzhou."

Mo Lang picked up the wine glass, drank it all, and said.

"Beiju Luzhou?"

Xiao Chen pondered for a moment, and became curious.

Uttarakuru is a very strange place. It is clearly one of the four major continents in the world, but it is not mentioned much in the world of Journey to the West and has some mystery.

Sun Wukong was born in Dongsheng Shenzhou. On his journey to the west, he mainly visited Nanshanbuzhou and Xiniuhezhou, but he never went to Beijuluzhou.
