Li Daoyi, who comes from a Taoist background, goes into the mountains to look for the green ox he has raised since childhood and accidentally transmigrates to the world of The Smiling, Proud Wander...
The commotion at the city gate naturally attracted the attention of many people in the city, and everyone immediately rushed towards the city gate. After all, for countless years, only mortals have come to Tianyao City, and very few human cultivators have appeared. The last time that Master Puxian appeared, it had already caused a sensation.
Fortunately, the main city gate was guarded by wolves, and wolves have no shortage of people. Soon, many guards appeared and sealed the city gate shut.
Puxian seemed to have noticed the commotion caused by these people. Despite having many doubts in his heart, he still spoke to Jianglong.
"Junior brother, this is not the place to talk. You should come back to the shop with me first."
"A small shop?" Jianglong was taken aback.
Puxian was slightly embarrassed, but he still turned around and led the group out of the city gate. Surrounded by the wolf guards, they quickly returned to his pill shop.
"Bodhi Pavilion." Jianglong couldn't help but read it aloud when he saw the shop's signboard.
“Bodhi…” Jianglong glanced thoughtfully at Puxian.
"Disperse, disperse! You lot, aren't you human? What are you looking at? Get out of here!" the wolf demon captain shouted at the surrounding crowd.
"Brother Lang Meng, thank you very much for today," Pu Xian said.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. You all chat, you all chat. Just let us know if you need anything," the wolf demon captain waved his hand and said. Then he turned back to continue scaring the others.
Mengmeng and the others followed Puxian into the small shop. As soon as they entered, a strong aroma of medicine wafted over them.
Rows of wooden shelves were densely packed with bottles.
"You're really planning to open a shop and refine pills?" Jianglong asked with a suspicious look.
"Hey!"
At this moment, Mengmeng tiptoed and took down a bottle of pills.
"Mengmeng," Jianglong called out.
"It's alright." Puxian was very generous.
The little guy opened the bottle, smelled it, and then frowned.
"The grade is too low," Mengmeng said.
The little guy then opened several other medicine bottles on the wooden shelves, and without exception, he looked disgusted with each one.
"Don't you have any high-grade pills? The kind made from spiritual herbs that are over ten thousand years old?" Mengmeng asked Puxian.
"Huh?... " Puxian stared blankly at the child in front of him, his prized elixir was actually being rejected.
"Never mind, never mind, it seems you don't know how to refine it either," Mengmeng said.
"Ahem... Senior brother, let me introduce you. This is my good friend Qi Yu, this is Meng Meng, she's a bit mischievous but kind-hearted, and this is..."
Jianglong introduced the group to Puxian one by one.
"Greetings, everyone," Puxian said politely. He was somewhat surprised, as he had always thought that Jianglong didn't like making friends, but he hadn't expected that he would make so many friends so soon after leaving Kunlun.
"Senior brother, how did you end up here?" Jianglong asked knowingly.
"It's a long story, sigh." Puxian sighed.
"Let's go sit down in the courtyard and talk."
Then everyone followed Puxian into the backyard, which was very exquisite and elegant. A large alchemy furnace was placed in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by several futons.
Everyone sat down in turn, and Mengmeng snuggled into Daji's arms.
"Huanglong is dead." As soon as he sat down, Puxian immediately spoke, his eyes fixed on Jianglong, observing the other's reaction.
"Oh? Is that so?" Jianglong replied expressionlessly.
Puxian immediately gave a wry smile, shook his head, and said.
“It really was you.” Puxian could tell from Jianglong’s expression that Huanglong must have been killed by him.
"That's right, I killed him." Jianglong had no intention of hiding it from Puxian.
“Dragon Subduing, I clearly beat that dragon to death.” Saitama spoke up at this moment.
"Uh...?" Puxian looked at Saitama with a puzzled expression.
"Brother Saitama," Jianglong said with a hint of helplessness.
“I killed him anyway, with my fists, two punches. That guy was pretty tough.” Saitama raised his fist and laughed.
"Me too, me too!" Mengmeng raised her little hand at this moment.
"I ate his soul, hehehe..." the little guy said, as if taking credit.
Puxian looked at the group in shock. He hadn't expected them to be so nonchalant. He wondered if they didn't know Huanglong Zhenren's identity.
"Junior brother, what exactly happened?" Puxian asked with a serious expression.
“Senior brother, that guy asked for it, he deserved to die. I only regret not killing him sooner,” Jianglong said indifferently.
Then Jianglong recounted the whole story. When he mentioned that Huanglong had eaten thousands of people in one go, Puxian's expression changed, and he then showed some self-reproach.
"Senior brother, do you think he deserved to die?" Jianglong asked after finishing his sentence.
“I heard some disciples mention him a long time ago, saying that he eats people. I thought it was just jealous people slandering him, but I didn’t expect it to be true. I was so naive. Why didn’t I investigate it myself back then?” Puxian sighed.
"Investigate? Senior brother, you're so naive. Do you think nobody in Kunlun knows? Even if the other disciples don't know, what about our teacher? Doesn't he know either?" Jianglong said.
Upon hearing this, Puxian was stunned. Indeed, how could Yuanshi Tianzun not know that Huanglong ate people?
“No, if Master knew, why didn’t he stop it?” Puxian said.
"Heh... Stop it. Humans are nothing but ants in front of the strong. How can they be compared to a personal disciple?" Jianglong sneered.
"Junior brother, you..." Puxian was startled. Jianglong's words just now were already expressing his dissatisfaction with the sage.
“I’m just telling the truth,” Jianglong said.
“Junior brother, you’ve changed…” Puxian sighed.
"Change? No, senior brother, this is the real me," Jianglong laughed.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Now that you know the truth, what are you going to do? Take us back to Jade Void Palace?"
Puxian fell silent instantly. Not to mention that he might not be a match for Jianglong and Saitama, he would never go to capture Jianglong for the sake of scum like Huanglong.
After pondering for a long time, Puxian ultimately remained silent, feeling conflicted and confused.
"Alright, take your time thinking about it. Speaking of which, it's been a long time since we've had a drink together. How about we forget about everything else and have a good drink together?" Jianglong laughed.
"Oh, drinking? I really miss the taste of beer," Saitama murmured.
“I have beer,” Mengmeng said, then pulled out a bunch of canned beer.
"Cool, Mengmeng, you are my god." Saitama's eyes lit up immediately, and he went up and hugged the mountain of beer.
"Senior, do you have a kitchen here? I'll go and make you something to eat," Daji asked obediently.
"Uh...yes, it's over there."
"Sister Daji, let me help you," Longji said quickly.
"Whoosh, time for some delicious food!" Mengmeng ran out after them.
"What's going on? Eating?" Puxian didn't react for a moment.
"Haha, Daji's cooking is quite good. You should try it later." Jianglong patted Puxian Zhenren on the shoulder and said.
Upon hearing this, Puxian nodded, a warm feeling gradually rising in his heart. He seemed to understand why Jianglong had made so many friends; this feeling was truly wonderful.
"I've never fully seen through this junior brother from beginning to end," Puxian thought to himself.
"One, two, three, four..."
Just as he was lost in thought, a counting sound came from inside.
Saitama and the young man were seen rapidly moving their hands up and down on the ground, making a strange motion.
"Ji Fa, do a thousand sets of push-ups before dinner, is that alright?"
"I will definitely finish it, Saitama-sensei."
"Ahem, let's go have some tea, don't worry about them." Jianglong was somewhat speechless.
And so, Jianglong and the others stayed. Puxian didn't mention Huanglong Zhenren again and spent his days discussing the Dao with Jianglong. Of course, it would be better if that strange guy Saitama wasn't there, as he and that young man were repeating some strange actions every day.
On this day, Mengmeng, Longji, and Daji were strolling on the street. The two beauties naturally attracted the curious gazes of many demons and humans. However, after seeing the wolf fiercely following behind the three like a licking dog, no one dared to approach them casually.
“Miss Mengmeng, let me tell you, everyone in this Heavenly Demon City gives me face. Whatever you want to eat or buy, I, Old Wolf, will take care of it all,” Wolf said fiercely.
"Hehehe... You said it yourself, so don't regret it," Mengmeng laughed.
Longji and Daji looked at the guy with pitiful expressions.
Sure enough, not long after, Lang Meng was in a terrible state. Mengmeng's appetite was simply too big. In less than an hour, she had eaten up all of his meager savings. At this point, Lang Meng was utterly devastated.
"Knock knock knock..."
Suddenly, a series of bell tolls rang out over the Heavenly Demon City.
"Nine chimes, a distinguished guest has arrived," Wolf murmured.
"Daji, Mengmeng, you two go ahead and explore. I'm going to the Heavenly Demon Palace; it's the Nine-Bell Palace."
After saying that, the wolf ran away in a flash.
"Distinguished guest?" Mengmeng's eyes darted around, as if she had some interesting idea.
The Heavenly Demon Palace had already gathered many powerful demons, so they stood respectfully on both sides, with Wolf Fierce among them.
Jiuying and Bai Ze stood in the very center, and all the demons of the Great Demon level and above in Tianyao City had come.
Everyone seemed to be waiting for something.
Suddenly, two figures appeared in the sky.
"Why is this guy here too?" Bai Ze frowned slightly.
The two people slowly descended from the sky.
"Greetings, Your Highness," Bai Ze called out first.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Jiuying and the other demons shouted in unison.
One of the people who came was none other than Lu Ya, the Crown Prince of the Demon Clan. It seemed that it had been a long time since so many people had called him at the same time, and Lu Ya was a little unaccustomed to it.
"Cough cough..." At this moment, the person next to Lu Ya coughed a few times.
"Oh, isn't this the Demon Master? What brings you here?" Jiuying said with a hint of disdain in his eyes.
"Alright, the Demon Master is one of us too, why don't you pay your respects to the Demon Master?" Bai Ze said.
"Greetings, Demon Master."
Kunpeng finally nodded in satisfaction.
"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting." Lu Ya politely cupped his hands to the demons.
"please..."
Lu Ya and Kunpeng then followed Bai Ze and the other into the Heavenly Demon Palace.
Just after the four of them left, the remaining demons began to whisper among themselves. Lu Ya, who had not appeared for a long time, had actually shown up. Everyone suddenly felt that something big was about to happen to the demon race.
"Eeya?"
At the entrance of the Heavenly Demon Palace, in a corner that no one noticed, Mengmeng popped up from the ground, then disappeared again with a giggle.
