Chapter 246: The Character Layout of the Yellow-Robed Monster
Who am I!? Where am I? What am I supposed to do!?
Having no idea how long he had been unconscious, Wolf-Chasing Boy gradually opened his eyes, coming to from his stupor with a triple dose of confusion. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire
A moment later, his consciousness slowly started to clear up and, recalling the event that had passed, he abruptly got up.
He had hammered that monkey's head dozens of times with his Mountain Crushing Hammer without stirring a hair, yet with just a flick of its finger on his head, he had passed out?
After getting up, Wolf-Chasing Boy realized he hadn't been harmed; instead, someone had placed him in bed to sleep.
When Wolf-Chasing Boy got up and walked out of the room, he found it was already daylight outside. In the hall, Jiang Liu and the others were sitting at the dining table, eating.
"Awake, are you? Come join us for a meal!" Jiang Liu glanced at Wolf-Chasing Boy and called out.
"Humph, I have no dealings with you guys. Even if I starve to death, I won't eat a bite of your food!" Wolf-Chasing Boy said, somewhat angrily embarrassed upon hearing Jiang Liu's words.
Fighting with Sun Wukong last night was utterly humiliating. Eat someone else's food now? Wolf-Chasing Boy felt he absolutely couldn't lower his face to do that.
"Oh, not eating, huh? Well, never mind then!" For Jiang Liu, inviting someone to eat was merely basic hospitality, but since the offer wasn't appreciated, he let it go.
Today's breakfast was quite rich, a bowl of exceedingly thick porridge made using the Hot-Clear Pot.
Although it was intended for hot pot, it seemed it worked for making porridge as well.
Jiang Liu discovered that if he first cooked porridge in the Hot-Clear Pot, and didn't circle around the Hot-Clear Pot while eating, the Heartfelt special effect wouldn't trigger.
A bowl of plain porridge, light and bland, served with fried dough sticks and steamed buns, plus a few tea eggs, was quite a refined meal.
Though his mouth proclaimed he'd rather die of starvation than eat a bite of their food, as Wolf-Chasing Boy's eyes fell on their breakfast and his nose slightly twitched,
smelling the aroma of the white porridge and eyeing those golden fried dough sticks, he couldn't help but swallow.
"If you want to eat, just eat!" Seeing Wolf-Chasing Boy's expression, Sun Wukong smiled slightly, tossed a fried dough stick over, and said,
After catching the fried dough stick, Wolf-Chasing Boy sniffed it lightly.
The fragrance of fried food might be the most important aspect, prompting him to lick his lips before turning to Sun Wukong and saying, "Humph, since you're so sincerely asking me, I'll do you the favor and try a bite!"
As he spoke, Wolf-Chasing Boy lightly bit into it, and his eyes instantly lit up!
"Delicious!"
...
A while later, as Wolf-Chasing Boy watched the Exquisite Immortal Mansion shrink back to palm-size and get tucked away by Jiang Liu, his eyes filled with admiration and regret, he spoke, "Master, is the meal over already? I'm not even full yet. Do you always invite people to eat without letting them have their fill?"
"Not full yet? You've had three bowls of white porridge, five fried dough sticks, two tea eggs, and two pork buns!" said Jiang Liu, his tone a mix of amusement and exasperation as he glanced at Wolf-Chasing Boy.
His appetite had indeed taken Jiang Liu by surprise; seeing his belly rounded out yet still claiming to be unfilled!
This embarrassed Wolf-Chasing Boy slightly, and he quickly changed the subject, his gaze landing on the Exquisite Immortal Mansion in Jiang Liu's hands, "Your house turns out to be a real treasure! How amazing it is that you can bring your house along when you travel!"
"Alright, kiddo, it's getting late. We've invited you to a meal, now you should take us to your home!" Not dwelling further on the topic of the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, Jiang Liu merely looked at Wolf-Chasing Boy and asked.
"Sure, I've never brought friends home in all these years. If I bring you, my folks are sure to be delighted!" Hearing Jiang Liu's words, Wolf-Chasing Boy cocked his head thinking for a moment, then nodded and said.
Indeed, a fight had sparked this friendship. After collapsing, uh, staying over for a night at their place, and having been treated to a scrumptious breakfast, it indeed seemed right to invite them back in return.
This must be what Mom meant by reciprocation, right?
As he spoke, Wolf-Chasing Boy lifted his hand, and the Mountain Crushing Hammer in his grasp grew enormously.
Simultaneously, Wolf-Chasing Boy leaped atop the Mountain Crushing Hammer and took off flying into the distance, followed naturally by Sun Wukong and the others soaring through the clouds.
As for Jiang Liu? There was no need to deploy the Feather Demon Blade, as the White Dragon Horse generated wind under its hooves and raced through the air in pursuit.
The distance was neither far nor near, merely about a hundred li forward, and Wolf-Chasing Boy descended in a large mountain range.
"We're here, this is Wanzi Mountain, my home!" After landing, Wolf-Chasing Boy explained to Jiang Liu and the others, proceeding towards a nearby cave.
"Ah, Young Master, you're back! You were gone for a whole night practicing Controlling Artifacts Flight, worrying the Great King and his lady to death!"
At the mouth of the cave, a wolf-headed Demon Marshal, noticing Wolf-Chasing Boy's descent, reacted with a startled expression and quickly spoke,
taking a closer look at Wolf-Chasing Boy to see if he had any injuries.
"Wait, who are they!?" The Wolf Demon at the cave entrance, having noticed Jiang Liu and his group, scrutinized them for a moment before inquiring.
Jiang Liu, White Dragon Horse, and Sun Wukong were not surprising characters, but the Wolf Demon mainly focused on the expressions of Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie.
Looking at these two with fierce faces, it was clear they were not easy to deal with.
"Oh, they are all new friends that young master here made outside, so, today, I specially brought them back home for a visit!" Hearing the Wolf Demon's query at the entrance, Wolf-Chasing Boy said.
Well, since they were brought by the young master, the Wolf Demon naturally did not dare to say much more.
After all, the king and the lady were at home, and how they would treat them was naturally determined by the king's own procedures.
"Welcome, master, please come inside!" Having made up his mind, the Wolf Demon was quite enthusiastic, inviting Jiang Liu and his group into the cave abode.
"So that's how it is!" As for Jiang Liu, after listening to the dialogue between Wolf-Chasing Boy and the Wolf Demon at the entrance, he understood all at once.
Wanzi Mountain was over one hundred miles away from the royal city of Treasure Elephant Country, not too far but not too near either; no wonder no demons had come looking for him all night.
And, it's no wonder that Wolf-Chasing Boy could run such a long distance.
With a level of 41, just enough to reach the Divinity Transformation Realm, was he practicing Controlling Artifacts Flight? Thus, he flew directly there?
Not to mention Jiang Liu's thoughts, once inside the cave abode, Jiang Liu found that the cave looked quite beautiful, with the walls polished very smoothly and even embedded with several Luminous Pearls.
The cave was dug through, allowing sunlight to shine in from every angle, and in places where sunlight could reach, some beautiful flowers and plants were also grown.
All in all, this cave of the Yellow-Robed Monster looked completely different from other demons' abodes that Jiang Liu had seen before; indeed, the Yellow-Robed Monster was not a demon but an Immortal, making his dwelling quite extraordinary.
Deeper inside the cave abode was a bright room where a man who appeared to be around thirty, with a short beard and wearing a yellow robe, was sitting.
Opposite the stone table was a young woman who appeared to be in her early twenties, extremely beautiful and also dressed in silk, with an elegant demeanor.
"Dad, Mom!" Seeing the man and woman sitting across the table, Wolf-Chasing Boy greeted them happily.
"Wolf Boy, you're back? Your mother was so worried about you!" Seeing Wolf-Chasing Boy return, Princess Baihua Xiu exclaimed excitedly, hugging Wolf-Chasing Boy in her arms.
Next to them, the Yellow-Robed Monster looked at his returning child, and his expression softened slightly.
Then, his gaze fell on Jiang Liu and the others.
Staring at Jiang Liu and his companions, the Yellow-Robed Monster did not show any anomaly, but when his gaze rested on Sun Wukong, his face slightly changed.
Clearly, he recognized Sun Wukong.
In fact, not only was the Yellow-Robed Monster sizing him up, but Jiang Liu was also observing them.
Although Princess Baihua Xiu had been abducted by the Yellow-Robed Monster, from the recent situation, it seemed the Yellow-Robed Monster had not confined Princess Baihua Xiu, and he indeed seemed to treat her quite well.
The fact that the couple could sit together calmly seemed to explain a lot.
This was like those women from his previous life who were sold to the mountains; initially, they naturally did everything they could to escape, but after living there for a few years and even having children, the idea of leaving faded more and more.
The current state of Princess Baihua Xiu might be reflective of such a mindset …
Musing to himself, Jiang Liu's gaze fell on the Yellow-Robed Monster, and he silently muttered to himself: "Character interface."
A translucent character interface naturally appeared in front of Jiang Liu.
ID: Yellow-Robed Monster (Blue).
Gender: Male.
Profession: Immortal.
Level: 73.
Weapon: Hundred Tempering Blade (Legendary Level) …
"Such a high level!" Looking at the Yellow-Robed Monster's character interface, Jiang Liu was secretly astonished.
Level 73? This must be the realm of Taiyi True Immortal, right? And a blue character interface? It seems the strength of the Yellow-Robed Monster truly is extraordinary.
But thinking about it, it makes sense, considering the Twenty-Eight Star Abodes already had a high status in Heavenly Court. As one of the foremost combatants among the Twenty-Eight Star Abodes, it made sense for him to have such strength.
Using terms from his previous life, if Heavenly Kings and Li Jing, even Marshal Tianpeng from Zhu Bajie's previous life belonged to the military,
then Kuimu Wolf from the Twenty-Eight Star Abodes should be considered as belonging to the high command of the Heavenly Court Armed Police Force.
Having such strength was not surprising.
