From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

This wolf looks just like a husky!

Jiang Liu chuckled inwardly, but his face changed from its usual gentle demeanor to one of feigned composure, saying, "Could you be bandits in wolf's clothing, disguised as demons, deliberately trying to scare people?"

"What are you talking about? What makes us look like monsters?" the wolf swordsman said discontentedly. "And what makes us look like humans?"

"Why do you all look so inhuman?"

Jiang Liu stood with his hands on his hips, speaking emphatically, "Wearing clothes, carrying knives and axes, and with a bow and arrows on his back, he's standing upright. He's clearly a human, not a demon!"

"Could she be a foolish woman?"

The wolf-like school guard muttered to himself.

"You're the idiot."

Jiang Liu stepped out of the sack, walked up to the wolf guard, reached out and tapped the wolf guard on the head.

With a loud thud, the wolf guard's eyes rolled back, and the wolf, completely dazed, collapsed to the ground, howling, "What strength! Perhaps the king likes strong people!"

It's a good head.

Jiang Liu made a mental assessment and said to the wolf warrior, "Take me to see your king."

Wolf Warrior asked suspiciously, "Do you really think we're human, woman?"

Aren't you the same?

Jiang Liu retorted, snatching the round rattan shield from the still-stunned wolf guard. His eyes turned cold, his shoulders trembled, and his bloodlust surged, causing the seven wolves to shudder and feel a sense of dread. "I am a princess of Baoxiang Kingdom. When chaos broke out in the country, I fled eastward with my soldiers. I am not someone to be trifled with."

"Today I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Liu, holding a round shield, charged forward, attacking the wolf guard and sending him flying more than ten meters away, where he landed face-first in the mud.

"not good!"

The wolf swordsman was shocked. He had just drawn his sword when the shield swung at his face. With a loud "bang," he was flipped 720 degrees and crashed to the ground, unable to get up again.

Then, Jiang Liu threw his round shield, hitting the wolf assassin's wrist. The pain made the wolf assassin drop his throwing knives. Jiang Liu then followed up with a kick, hitting the wolf assassin's chin, causing him to fall backward and land on his back, leaving him powerless to fight back.

The round shield bounced off and struck the wolf scout's head, then bounced back to the wolf warrior's nape, knocking both wolves to the ground.

The wolf archer had already created distance, nocked an arrow, and released it. A cold light shot out, about to hit Jiang Liu's brow, but just as the round shield struck the wolf warrior's nape, it bounced right in front of Jiang Liu, blocking the arrow at the last second.

whoosh-

The instant he caught the shield, Jiang Liu twisted his waist and swung his arm, throwing the round shield at the wolf archer who didn't have time to fire a second arrow.

With another "bang," the wolf archer dropped his bow and arrow, his head snapped back, blood gushing from his mouth and nose, and cried out, "What a barbaric woman!"

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Liu ended the battle, but spared the lives of the seven wolves.

He sat on a nearby rock, crossed his white legs, and looked at the seven wolf demons who were shakily getting up. He sneered, "With such little skill, you dare to call yourselves demons? You're nothing but a bunch of bandits."

Insulted for not being a monster, the wolf warrior, wolf swordsman, wolf school guard, wolf bodyguard, wolf assassin, wolf scout, and wolf archer looked at each other, all feeling ashamed and angry, but also somewhat fearful of this "Hundred Flowers Love". They dared not go forward again, and only said: "Um... we won't catch you, you can go back."

"That won't do."

Jiang Liu rose and said leisurely, "I am a princess of Baoxiang Kingdom. This time, returning home, I've traveled westward with only one sorcerer as my protector, which isn't very safe..."

I see you robbing and looting, but you're only doing it to make a living, and don't commit much other crimes. Why don't you come with me to the Kingdom of Baoxiang?

The seven wolves looked at each other, at a loss for what to do.

"Judging from your incompetence, you are clearly unable to make up your minds. Take me to see your king, and I will personally persuade him."

Jiang Liu smiled confidently.

Wolf Warrior and the other six wolves exchanged glances and agreed that it was feasible.

Firstly, they originally intended to give the princess of Baoxiang Kingdom to the king.

Secondly, they were no match for this brutal woman.

Therefore.

It's better to spare her some physical suffering and grant this tomboy's wish by taking her to see the king and asking him to subdue her... Who knows, she might become the queen of Black Wind Mountain in the future.

And so.

The seven wolves hurriedly escorted Jiang Liu through the Wolf Forest and the Bamboo Forest, arriving at the Black Wind Cave. They knocked on the door and called out, "Your Majesty! We have brought you a treasure!"

Chapter 1391 The law of the jungle is a demon

"baby?"

The cave door opened, and out came the Black Wind King. He had a human form, but his former appearance, which resembled that of a charcoal seller, was gone. He was now a strong, white-skinned man, wearing a dark red ascetic's robe and a string of prayer beads. He looked more like a Dharma protector or an immovable deity.

"Your Majesty, this is the treasure!"

The wolf scout and wolf swordsman bypassed the wolf warrior and spoke first, pointing at Jiang Liu and explaining the woman's origins.

Upon hearing this, the Black Wind King, using the light of the full moon and the campfire, looked closely and indeed saw a princess-like woman. He saw that she was:

She wore a gold-threaded, eight-treasure, pearl-encrusted hairpin, a five-phoenix hairpin with pearls hanging from it, a red-gold dragon-patterned necklace, a pea-green palace sash tied around her skirt, a double-eyed rose pendant, a narrow-sleeved crimson satin jacket embroidered with gold butterflies and flowers, an outer five-colored carved silk dark blue silver-rat fur coat, and a jade-green crepe skirt sprinkled with flowers.

She had a pair of almond-shaped eyes with triangular corners and two arched, willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows.

Slender and graceful, with a rosy face that exudes a gentle charm, and a smile that precedes her words.

“My name is Ai, and I greet Your Majesty.”

That sweet voice instantly captivated the Black Wind King. Seeing the beauty of the Hundred Flowers that Jiang Liu had transformed into, he stammered, "Back then, I was only focused on cultivation and thought I had long since seen through the illusions of beauty. But now I have seen such a beauty... It's truly a stroke of good fortune!"

The seven wolves were dumbfounded when they saw Jiang Liu's appearance—the woman had only been wearing a nightgown before, so why had she changed her clothes now?

The wolf warrior wanted to speak, but then the Black Wind King suddenly stepped forward and pushed him away. Looking at the fiery Jiang Liu, he was about to embrace him, but then he remembered that he was a king and had just returned from the South Sea. He couldn't act like a lecher in front of the little demon, so he patiently asked Jiang Liu, "What is your name, my lady?"

"I hope Your Majesty knows that my hometown is in Baoxiang Kingdom, and my name is Baihua Ai. However, after I got married, I took my husband's surname. My husband's surname is Jia, so you can call me Madam Jia."

Jiang Liu was just making things up.

"Madam Jia?"

The Black Wind King was blinded by Jiang Liu's lustful appearance, completely forgetting what the seven-headed wolf demon had said earlier. He only felt heartache, "How could such a beauty be married?"

"Does Your Majesty like me?"

Jiang Liu stepped forward with a smile and took Black Wind King's arm.

This Black Wind King from the primordial era cannot be compared to the Black Bear Spirit from Journey to the West. He's a truly foolish and simple-minded fool; where would he have seen such scenery? In his early years, he only knew how to cultivate, but after encountering the Mind Monkey, he was tricked into going to the South Sea. He abstained from the three kinds of meat and five kinds of forbidden foods, but he only cultivated magical powers and supernatural abilities, neglecting to cultivate his nature and character...

Now, seeing such a charming and witty "beauty" as Jiang Liu, how could he resist? His face flushed red, and he stammered, "I like it! I really like it!"

In the eyes of the Black Wind King, Jiang Liu, dressed as Phoenix Spicy and wearing a red coat, was like a precious cassock that had come to life and transformed into a woman. How could he not be captivated by her?

"It's just a pity..."

Jiang Liu frowned slightly and sighed.

"What's a pity?"

Black Wind King hurriedly asked, "Are you worried about your husband? I'll kill him right now, and then we can live a carefree life in Black Wind Mountain."

Seeing that the fool had taken the bait, Jiang Liu grabbed him and sighed, "I am naturally delighted to have such a heroic figure as Your Majesty."

But that man surnamed Jia also married me. We've been husband and wife for a day, so let him go.

And my lamentation is not for him.”

"Then why does Madam wish to do this?"

The Black Wind King's gaze fell upon the seven wolves, his expression extremely gloomy: "Could it be that these little demons have slighted you?"

In an instant.

The seven wolf demons' hair stood on end, their faces filled with horror, and they all knelt down, kowtowing and pleading, "Your Majesty, spare our lives! Your Majesty, spare our lives!"

"It's not his fault for waiting."

Jiang Liu shook his head, "It was when I was young that chaos broke out in my hometown of Baoxiang. I fled to the East, intending to recruit soldiers and horses to fight my way back to Baoxiang."

But the Great Tang of the East has become the Great Song of the East, unreliable. And along the way, all my loyal soldiers have long since perished. I had no choice but to marry a merchant and live a life of aimless wandering with him for several years before I finally persuaded him to travel west to Baoxiang, hoping to catch a glimpse of my homeland.

The Black Wind King felt a deep sense of empathy, for during the five hundred years he spent in the South China Sea, he had also constantly thought of his homeland, Black Wind Mountain.

Jiang Liu's words struck a chord with him.

"Now that I have seen the King, my eyes are filled with joy."

Jiang Liu laughed and said, "I am happy, but I also have desires. I don't just want to see my hometown. I want to borrow the troops in the mountains from Your Majesty to help me fight my way back to the Kingdom of Baoxiang."

At that time.

You become the ruler of the Baoxiang Kingdom, and I become the empress. We live in love and have many children and grandchildren. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

You brothers in the mountains no longer need to worry about being disturbed by soldiers, Taoist priests, or monks in the forest. You can even become officials in the city. Isn't that a great future?"

Upon hearing this, the Black Wind King was delighted.

He had spent some time in seclusion in the South China Sea and knew that to rule a region, one could not simply rely on military might.

Force can only make others outwardly compliant.

Only virtue can earn the loyalty of others!

Over the years, he has ruled Black Wind Mountain, commanding countless lesser demons and generals, but none of them truly submit to him from the bottom of their hearts... If he could lead them to a bright future, they would definitely worship him with all their hearts.

At that time, he could also receive the incense offerings and wishes of all living beings, just like Guanyin of the South Sea, and enjoy immortality. Why would he need to return to the South Sea to be a mountain guardian deity?

"Since Your Majesty is willing, we will set off tonight."

Jiang Liu suggested, "It's better to march at night when everyone is quiet; delay could lead to unforeseen circumstances."

"Alright."

Black Wind King had lost his mind, but he was also a man of action. He quickly summoned all the lesser demons, leaders, and demon kings of Black Wind Mountain to go to the summit of Black Wind Mountain to see Difeng and explain the situation.

Among the leaders, Ling Xuzi only cultivated qi and blood, and his body was huge, without a human form. He roared at Black Wind King, "Your Majesty, how can you be so absurd?"

Are we to attack the Kingdom of Baoxiang for this young lady?

I fled from Lion Camel Ridge and passed through the Kingdom of Treasure Elephant, which has now been occupied by my former second master. The whole city is full of elephant demons, bull demons, and pig demons, each with strong blood and energy, and they enslave people. If you go there, don't blame me for returning to the Second King's command.

Black Wind King was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Jiang Liu looking at him with suspicion and doubt, he became furious. He roared at Ling Xuzi, turned into a black wind, swept the giant wolf into the sky, and slammed it hard to the ground.

boom!
