The male supporting character was actually myself.

With the little fish demon carrying the baby boy in his mouth, Ye Xuan flipped over and landed, knocking the little fish unconscious with a single claw. He sneered inwardly, "Your grandpa can save you? Heh, even if he's cultivated for a long time, he's still just an old fish demon, not even enough to fill my teeth. He'd be a fool to save you!"

The little fish demon was trapped by demonic power and dragged ashore. Her fishtail thrashed wildly as she cried out in her childish voice, "Help! Someone save us! The fox demon is eating the little fish!"

"A fox demon?" A spirit demon about a foot tall, disguised as a human old man with a large gourd on his back, emerged from a withered tree trunk not far away. Hearing the cry for help, he poked his head out and saw a white fox exuding a strong and powerful demonic aura biting a small fish demon.

He casually hurled the wine gourd from his back at them, and at the same time shouted in a loud, terrifying lion's roar, "The fox demon Ye Xuan has run into the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains! Everyone, come and kill him!"

"Duang!"

Before he could even tear through the hard fish scales, Ye Xuan was stunned when he was hit on the back of the head.

The moment the gourd hit him, it gurgled out a fragrant liquid, which actually pushed the injured and unconscious little fish demon boy into the river.

The little girl was still struggling and crying, but she couldn't break free from the black demonic energy binding her.

"The wanted fox demon Ye Xuan has escaped to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains! Everyone, come and kill him!" The spirit fairy roared at the Ten Thousand Mountains again.

At the same time, the calm river water was churning and splashing like boiling water from its deepest part, as if something big had been disturbed.

"Who dares to harm my sons and grandsons?"

A deep, angry roar came from the bottom of the water, causing the mountains to hum.

"Waaaaah~ Grandpa Dragon, please save me!" The little fish demon cried even harder, her two tender white hands pawing at the withered grass, trying to climb into the river.

Even though he possessed profound demonic power after devouring the nine-tailed fox's inner core, Ye Xuan was still shaken, his blood surging and his wounds on his arms and tongue throbbing with pain.

He had a bad feeling, as if he had provoked some terrifying being!

Since ancient times, the land of China has nurtured all sorts of incredible creatures, and the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains have been known as the origin of dragon veins since ancient times. Could it be... that there really are dragons here?!

Startled, Ye Xuan took a few steps back and lost all interest in devouring the little fish demon. He hurriedly released his demonic power and put her back. His figure was about to disappear on the spot when he was successfully teleported to another place.

"Wow..."

"Snapped!"

A huge silver-white dragon tail appeared in the churning water (no), and with a single flick, it slammed into Ye Xuan, knocking him to the ground where he vomited blood.

What was even more terrifying than the physical injuries was that he discovered the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to have been condensed!

No matter what he did, he couldn't use the escape technique he inherited from the Nine-Tailed Fox's inner core. Was he doomed this time?!

"I'm so unwilling!" Ye Xuan slammed his fist into the ground.

Before his revenge mission could even begin, he had already capsized in this wretched place!

"Heh, such a young fox demon possesses considerable power." The dragon's tail had already disappeared into the water, and a huge head could be vaguely seen shaking in the river, emitting a booming sound. "If a little fox demon can have such great adventures and fortune, why does it come to provoke my dragon son and grandson? The aquatic race never makes enemies with the land race. Speak! Where do you get the audacity to prey on the dragon's pool?!"

"Dragon Pool?"

Ye Xuan's mind went blank for a moment. From the perspective of a fairy, he was still very young.

I've hardly ever traveled far in my life, let alone reached the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, so who knows what Dragon Pool is!

I thought I was going to have a good meal, but I didn't expect to get to eat the little fish demon and instead provoke such a terrifying being. What bad luck!

"Hmm, even its tongue is gone, and only half of its arms remain." The voice of the enormous creature in the water carried a hint of disdain. "Such a pathetic and stupid appearance, yet it dares to provoke the aquatic creatures? It's truly overestimating itself!"

I will not bully the weak; I will just detain you here temporarily.

"Let's wait for the other land-dwelling fairies to arrive and then discuss how to deal with you."

The little old man-like spirit fairy stepped forward lightly, put away his wine gourd, and asked curiously, "Grandpa Long, he is the heinous fox demon Ye Xuan, why didn't you just kill him?"

"Heh, the children have only suffered minor injuries and are not in any serious danger. How can I bully them with my power? Let the other great demons come and deal with him."

The enormous creature in the water gave a perfunctory reply.

In reality, given his abilities, how could he not see that this kid possessed extraordinary luck?

If nothing unexpected happens, even the laws of Heaven are secretly protecting him.

Kill this little white fox?

Haha, you're not even tired of living yet, why are you trying to outlive the chosen one!

However, he injured his beloved grandson, and with a demon witnessing the incident, wouldn't he lose face for the aquatic tribe if he didn't do something? How could he then deter the other demons of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains?

It would be better to just subdue the little white fox and let other fairies take over this hot potato...

Before long, various demons emerged from the depths of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains, all eyeing the fox demon Ye Xuan with covetous intent.

The old dragon used his usual excuse of not bullying the weak to brush it off, and used his tail to wrap the two little fish demons as he headed deeper into the water. The other powerful demons bound Ye Xuan, each one drooling with desire.

He devoured the sacred artifact refined by the fox demon!

If I could devour Ye Xuan, wouldn't I instantly gain terrifying and powerful strength?

The foolish fox demon Ye Xuan is still too young and inexperienced. He has no idea how to use such terrifying demonic power. But if it enters his stomach, it will be a different story.

With years of accumulation and the blessing of sacred objects, he will definitely be able to leap to become the supreme demon, second only to the fox and above all other demons!

"Ye Xuan, do you know your crime?"

"Devouring the sacred artifacts of the demon race and harming one's own kind is an unforgivable crime!"

"You dare to sow discord between the land demons and aquatic creatures, which have maintained a friendly relationship for thousands of years, now that you have arrived at the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains! Your crime is unforgivable!"

"Enough talk, kill him!"

"Kill Ye Xuan!"

"Kill Ye Xuan!"

…………

The roar of ten thousand demons shook the heavens, terrifying Ye Xuan so much that his face turned ashen and he dared not even breathe.

"It's over, it's over, I'm really going to die this time..." He trembled uncontrollably, clenched his fists, his face flushed, and roared in his heart, "I... I'm not reconciled!"

God is unfair!

I've tried so hard to become stronger and help the demon race regain its glory, but they only bully their own kind and target me at every turn!

It's all that damned nine-tailed fox's fault!

Look how ridiculous the demon race is now.

Hiding in remote, impoverished mountains, never daring to show their faces, constantly avoiding demon hunters, yet they relentlessly hunt down the hope of the demon race. Indeed, Heaven deserving the extinction of such a filthy race!

If I were to die here today, that would be fine.

If Heaven does not forsake me, Ye Xuan swears that from this day forward I will exterminate both humans and demons!

I will select the fairies worth nurturing and keep them; the rest can only await utter destruction!

Chapter Thirty-Three: A New Plot That Needs to Be Forced

All the demons had the idea of ​​devouring Ye Xuan to increase their strength. Even some spiritual demons, in the fierce and competitive environment of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, wanted to compete for more benefits for their companions. At this moment, how could they bear to give up?

Therefore, after the demons had been chanting slogans for a long time, a dispute arose over who should deal with the fox demon Ye Xuan.

“Since we can’t reach an agreement, I suggest we have a complete showdown.” The leader of the spirit fairies stepped forward and stated frankly, “Everyone just wants to devour this guy’s demon core to increase their strength, which is understandable as it’s human nature for demons.”

Who doesn't want to become stronger?

But now we're arguing and some hot-tempered guys are even about to start a fight.

This is actually not a good thing.

The fox demon Ye Xuan is cunning enough to steal and devour sacred artifacts of the demon race! Who knows if he has any special talents or skills?

What if he runs away during the argument? Wouldn't nobody benefit from that?

"Hmm, Sister Bamboo is right." A lion demon with a golden afro agreed, "What do you think we should do?"

The leader of the spirit fairies, known as "Bamboo Sister," shook the green bamboo tips and leaves on her head and said crisply, "First, kill Ye Xuan and extract his demon core. After that, everyone can rely on their own abilities to grab and swallow it, and that's whoever can do it."

After a brief argument, the fairies finally agreed to the proposal.

"Then which race of demons should be chosen to kill him and extract his demon core?" the lion demon asked again.

The choice of who will perform the core extraction is of paramount importance. Whoever gets this opportunity will not bother with extracting the demon core; they will simply swallow the little white fox whole!

Zhu Mei smoothed the bamboo leaves on her head with her slender hands and smiled, "The selection of a candidate is easy to discuss."

Previously, Ye Xuan had provoked the aquatic tribe, which even alarmed Grandpa Dragon.

"Why don't we let those two kids he injured do it themselves, with Grandpa Dragon watching? The aquatic children can then extract the demon core and get their revenge. From now on, we'll have no grudge against the aquatic race, and the demon core can be left intact for everyone to compete fairly. What do you say?"

"That's a good suggestion!"

"Brilliant! It's definitely the most suitable solution."

"As expected of Sister Zhu, she's got a sharp mind!"

"Let's do it this way, stop dawdling and hurry up! If we delay any longer, that kid might get away!"

…………

After the proposal was unanimously approved, the fairies gathered around and returned to the riverbank to call upon the old dragon at the bottom of the water.

That old dragon was so shrewd. Knowing that someone like Ye Xuan, who was shrouded in the aura of the Heavenly Dao, couldn't be provoked casually, he simply hid at the bottom of the water and pretended to be asleep and unable to hear. He also gathered all his dragon sons and grandsons together to prevent those little demons from running out to watch the fun and being used as pawns.

"That's strange, why didn't Grandpa Dragon respond today? Is he still hibernating even though it's spring? Didn't he get enough sleep?" Zhu Mei scratched her head, a little puzzled.

Just as the fairies were busily summoning the old dragon, Jiang Chen's figure appeared on the grass, watching their commotion from afar.

"The script team is really diligent. They've already tied the story together so quickly?" He didn't rush forward. Anyway, the main system's mission didn't give a time limit, so it seemed the protagonist wouldn't die anytime soon. He'd watch the rest of the story first.

Sure enough, the main characters in the story wouldn't offend the big shots for no reason.

If the plan fails, they will definitely offer even more and better benefits in disguise!

Ye Xuan originally only wanted to devour two harmless little fish demons to replenish his body so that he could grow his tongue and arms. He never expected that he would encounter the offspring of an old dragon deep in the Dragon Pool.

Old Dragon is the only true dragon that hasn't fallen into slumber, guarding the origin of the dragon vein in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountains. Although its own strength is inferior to that of the ten-thousand-year-old Nine-Tailed Fox, the dragon vein it occupies and guards will lend it pure power to strengthen itself at any time.

Having lived for thousands of years, it naturally possessed the ability to discern Ye Xuan's extraordinary identity at a glance.

Compared to the minor injuries suffered by his two offspring, the future of the Shui clan is insignificant.

Even if those two little fish demons were swallowed by Ye Xuan today, the old dragon wouldn't say anything and would still use the same excuse. Therefore, in the new plot arrangement, after Jiang Chen rescued Ye Xuan from the demons, he suppressed him in the abyss as punishment. However, this kind of plot is naturally a bonus for the protagonist.

Ye Xuan discovered many skeletons in the abyss. From the carvings left on the cold and damp stone walls, he learned that these predecessors were all super demons capable of turning the world upside down. They were imprisoned here for committing crimes and could not break the killing formation set up by the Nine-Tailed Fox until the end of their lives.
