Great Demon Sun Wukong

Looking at the snow-white fox, Sun Wukong suddenly felt very happy and relaxed, although he had felt a sense of familiarity when he first saw this fox, oh, wrong, now he should call her Leilei. When he realized Leilei was from the Demon Clan, that familiarity turned into a sense of kinship.

Without caring that Xi Zhao had snatched his peach, Sun Wukong stood up and jumped onto the large tree where Leilei was. Watching the fox nibble on the peach bit by bit, Sun Wukong pointed at Leilei with one hand while shouting at Xi Zhao, "Hey, I’m taking her with us! Do you have a problem with that?"

Xi Zhao quickly finished the peach and tossed the pit towards Sun Wukong, then replied, "Would you listen if I did have a problem?"

"Hehehe, no, no!"

"Then don’t ask such a dumb question, but you should check if she’s willing to go with you. Also, our journey is too dangerous, you have to make that clear. Otherwise, you’d be harming her!" Having said that, Xi Zhao got up and with a few jumps, reached the top of the large tree as well.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Leilei looked up at Xi Zhao and then at Sun Wukong before speaking softly, "It’s, it’s okay, I, I am willing to go with you. I don’t, don’t have any friends here!"

"Hehe, see, Xi Zhao? That’s the charm of yours truly. Fox... Leilei, are you really willing to follow us? We’re going to the Supreme Pool for a cleansing!"

By that time, the Nine-Tailed Fox Leilei had finished the large peach Sun Wukong gave her, contentedly wiped her mouth with her paw, and said, "I also want to go to the Supreme Pool, but before that, I need to find Transformation Grass!"

"Huh? You want to go to the Supreme Pool too? By the way, where are your parents? Why are you alone in these mountains?" Sun Wukong asked this because he had begun to suspect that the demon fox must have experienced something, as she seemed to have the spiritual wisdom of a mere child.

Your journey continues with empire

Although some spirit beasts are born with formidable strength, this was the Netherworld World, where everyone but the Domain Lord Yue Huangquan had come as souls after death.

Even the Soul Beasts were created by a force within the Netherworld World that condensed dissipated soul energy after other souls vanished. Although Leilei might also be a Soul Beast, the likelihood was small. Soul Beasts would need to reach the Nine Patterns Supreme and merge three Cosmic Laws to transform into human form. And a Soul Beast must transform into human form to be able to speak.

If it could speak without transforming, then it definitely belonged to the Demon Clan. This was the most important distinction in the Netherworld World between Soul Beasts and other races.

Of course, as Leilei mentioned, one could also take a Heaven and Earth Treasure called Transformation Grass to turn into human form directly after reaching Six Patterns.

And Sun Wukong trusted his intuition, which told him that Leilei must be from the Demon Clan. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I don’t know, I can’t remember many things. I only remember my name is Leilei, and I’m a Nine-Tailed Fox from the Demon Clan! And I need to find Transformation Grass, then go to the Supreme Pool!"

"Do you remember if you’ve been seriously injured, or when you appeared here?" Xi Zhao asked this, obviously interested in the beautiful White Fox, who could have lost her memory but possessed a speed neither of them could match.

"I don’t remember, but I think I escaped from a terrifying place! Wuuwuu, it’s so scary, my head hurts!" As Leilei tried to recall, she suddenly held her head and began to cry as if something terrifying lurked deep within her memory! Not wanting Leilei to continue recalling, Sun Wukong gently stroked her head, but it had no effect.

"Idiot, that’s useless. This fox must have gone through something extremely horrifying that caused a severe blow to her spirit. You should use your soul power to soothe her."

After speaking, Xi Zhao’s soul origin energy radiated out, mixed with his Divine Sense, and enveloped the Demon Fox Leilei. Soon, Leilei slowly fell asleep!

Letting out a long breath, Sun Wukong also leaned against the tree trunk behind him, taking the opportunity to rest.

"Monkey, are you seriously planning on taking this fox with you? We’re not here for a leisurely stroll!"

"I know our journey will be very dangerous, but if she’s by herself, it might be even more so. Plus, I feel a sense of closeness to her. By the way, you’re worldly-wise, do you know where to find Transformation Grass?"

"Transformation Grass, huh, it’s rare for you to be so determined. As for Transformation Grass, it’s a very precious Spirit Grass, likely only available in the Soul Extinguishing Mountain Range."

"Huh? Why are you so readily telling me this time?"

"Hmph, you think we’re just on a journey? Along the way, not only do we need to hunt soul beasts and store soul beads, but we also have to look for various Heaven and Earth Treasures and some Spiritual Objects. Transformation Grass is one of them.

As long as we can store a large amount of soul power within our bodies, there’s a high chance we might break through to Eight Patterns after the baptism of the Supreme Pool! That would save us a lot of time. So, this Transformation Grass is just something we come across on our way."

"Uh, our journey is going to be quite tough, huh. Sometimes I really want to know who you were before you died, how do you know everything!"

"That’s why I said that bringing this fox might be a burden. And since you’ve always lived in a minor world, there’s a lot you don’t know. Like not knowing this fox might have a significant background."

"What kind of background? It looks like a common Nine-Tailed Fox to me. We had those in my original world too!"

"Do you remember what color the real body of the one you knew was?"

"I remember, it should be fiery red, right? Yes, a fiery red Nine-Tailed Fox!"

"Exactly, let me tell you, the Demon Fox Clan is a very peculiar race. All their clansmen share a unique phenomenon: no white fox has nine tails, and no nine-tailed fox is white! This means no white demon fox, whether born that way or cultivated later, could ever have nine tails. Similarly, no nine-tailed demon fox could ever be white.

Moreover, in a minor world, cultivating to a Saint or Emperor Level might spawn nine tails, but in an Intermediate World, one must reach the Unity Dao Realm, in a High Level World it’s the Three Patterns Realm, and within the Six Great Divine Nations, one must be Nine Patterns Supreme to possess nine tails!"

Having said that, Xi Zhao glanced meaningfully at the sleeping demon fox before continuing, "If the strength isn’t sufficient, then the number of tails would be less. So, this Six Patterns white Nine-Tailed Fox definitely has some issues. I suspect it might be a descendant of the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, the queen of the Myriad Demons Country."

"What’s the Myriad Demons Country? Is it also one of the Six Great Divine Nations?"

"Yes, it’s the birthplace of all the demons in this universe. Plus, your appearance is almost identical to the Domain Lord of Myriad Demons Country!"

"Huh? You’re not joking, are you? You’re saying I look identical to the Domain Lord of Myriad Demons Country from the Six Great Divine Nations? Is that Domain Lord also a monkey?"

"I’m serious, I have fought with that Myriad Demon King, and his true form is called the Heaven-Supporting Giant Ape. That Giant Ape is so huge it could even withstand the destructive Divine Skills of my World Suppressing Stele. When I first saw you, I felt you bore a striking resemblance to that Myriad Demon King.

But then, I found out there’s Chaos Clan energy within you, and you even have the Heavenly Stele from the original Dominion of Soil! Right now, I really don’t know who you are!"

"We’re all monkeys, looking alike is normal. Say, Xi Zhao, aren’t you being a bit too sensitive? I am me, Great Sage Equalling Heaven Sun Wukong, Beautiful Monkey King Sun Wukong! Stop overthinking, no matter who I am, I’m still your good brother."

Grateful, Xi Zhao glanced at Sun Wukong, then sat down on a tree trunk to rest. Though he seemed resting, Sun Wukong knew something must have happened to Xi Zhao, and the recent conversation had brought back memories for him. At this time, Xi Zhao needed some time to calm his emotions.

Meanwhile, Sun Wukong too was pondering what path they would take in the future. Unaware, he fell asleep.

But Sun Wukong soon woke up, and he had to, because the white fox Leilei was using its tail to slide back and forth across Sun Wukong’s face.

Sitting up and sneezing, Sun Wukong saw Xi Zhao and the demon fox Leilei looking at him with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile.

"What’s going on? Do I have a flower on my face?"

Saying this, Sun Wukong reached out to touch his face, and to his shock, there really was a flower on his face?
