Chapter 336
Half an hour later.
Monkey King Great Sage Sun watched with fiery eyes as Zhang Xingyu smilingly put the World-Purifying Demon Fire into his storage ring.
At this moment, he was both angry and regretful.
He was angry that this weak human clearly enjoyed those demon fruits and poisonous liquor, while he had been worried for him.
He regretted that in order to regain face, he had lost the precious demon fire bestowed upon him by Emperor Jin. He had originally planned to use this demon fire to cultivate a high-rank fire-attribute divine ability.
"Many thanks to the Great Sage for the treasure. Great Sage Sun, I wonder if you want to bet again?" Zhang Xingyu asked with a smile.
Great Sage Sun's eyes lit up: "You are willing to bet again?"
"Of course. Running away after winning is for cowards. I'm not someone without gambling ethics," Zhang Xingyu laughed.
Great Sage Sun scratched his chin and asked: "This time, what are we betting on?"
"Still betting on eating and drinking, how about that?" Zhang Xingyu said.
Still betting on eating and drinking?
Great Sage Sun's pair of fiery eyes rolled again.
A moment later, he said: "Good. Let's bet on eating and drinking. However, this time, you provide the items, and I will eat. If I eat and am fine, I win. Conversely, you win."
Zhang Xingyu nodded.
He quite liked this silly and stubborn monkey.
"Good. If I provide, I provide. Then what are you using as a stake?" Zhang Xingyu asked.
"I won't lose," Great Sage Sun said, holding his head high and chest out.
He had this confidence and this ability.
His teeth had long been trained to be as hard as diamond, and his stomach had long been trained to be immune to all poisons.
Seeing his determined look, the corners of Zhang Xingyu's mouth curled upward.
"Since we are betting, there must be a stake. I'll use the World-Purifying Demon Fire from just now as the stake for this time; I wonder what kind of treasure Great Sage Sun is using as a stake?"
Great Sage Sun hesitated for a long time, then pulled a white hair from his forehead.
Zhang Xingyu looked at this Monkey King in confusion.
This fellow couldn't be sick, could he?
The stake I put up is the World-Purifying Demon Fire, and you want to use a white hair as a stake.
Great Sage Sun looked at Zhang Xingyu and smiled triumphantly: "Weak human, your judgment is too poor. Let me tell you, this white hair of mine is not an ordinary white hair. This is a Substitute White Hair."
"Substitute White Hair?" Zhang Xingyu had heard of substitute puppets and substitute talismans, but he had never heard of any Substitute White Hair in the world.
"Yes, it is exactly a Substitute White Hair," Great Sage Sun explained triumphantly.
"This Substitute White Hair was refined by Emperor Jin using a hair from an immortal. It can not only exist as the owner's external incarnation but can also bear the damage suffered by the owner. As long as the hair is not broken, the owner will not be injured. In other words, possessing this hair is equivalent to possessing multiple lives."
"Looking at how you brag about it, isn't it just a reusable substitute puppet? In terms of value, this hair of yours can't compare to the World-Purifying Demon Fire in my hand," Zhang Xingyu curled his lips and said.
Great Sage Sun was silent.
Cultivators take cultivation as the foundation. The value of the World-Purifying Demon Fire is indeed much higher than that of the Substitute White Hair.
However, although he was a noble Demon King, he didn't have many treasures on him.
This Substitute White Hair was already the most precious item besides the golden cudgel and the World-Purifying Demon Fire.
Great Sage Sun was about to explain, but Zhang Xingyu opposite him was already shouting.
"Alright, alright. Looking at you being a pauper, I guess you don't have anything good on you. I'll reluctantly accept this Substitute White Hair," Zhang Xingyu waved his hand at Great Sage Sun.
He reached out and flipped his hand, and a black brick appeared in his hand.
On one side of the brick, a river of time was flowing quietly.
"Come, come, come, Brother Monkey. If you can eat this brick, I'll return the World-Purifying Demon Fire I won from you earlier," Zhang Xingyu looked at Great Sage Sun with a smile.
Monkey King Great Sage Sun's stomach twitched.
This brick didn't look like an ordinary object. The key was that the river of time embedded inside the brick gave him a feeling of palpitation.
He took the brick with difficulty and bit it lightly with his teeth.
Crack.
His teeth, which were as hard as diamond, broke two pieces instantly.
Fortunately, he didn't use much force, otherwise, his good set of teeth would have all broken.
As the saying goes, only with good teeth is the body good. Eat well, and the body will be strong.
Great Sage Sun supported his chin and handed the Substitute White Hair to Zhang Xingyu with heartache.
"Many thanks."
Zhang Xingyu smilingly took the Substitute White Hair and asked: "Great Sage, want to bet again?"
Great Sage Sun looked at Zhang Xingyu, his face turning from white to red, and from red to green.
He was about to speak, but heard three horn blasts from outside.
The horn sound was one long and two short.
Great Sage Sun lifted his feet and ran outside.
The Three-Eyed Demon King was about to get up and walk out, but Zhang Xingyu grabbed him: "Brother Three-Eyes, what's going on?"
The Three-Eyed Demon King stopped helplessly and explained: "Three horn blasts indicate that a distinguished guest has arrived."
A distinguished guest has arrived?
This is the Demon Emperor's palace; what kind of person can be considered a distinguished guest?
Zhang Xingyu suppressed his confusion and followed the Three-Eyed Demon King out of the palace.
Just after walking out of the palace gate, he heard a feminine and sharp voice from above: "Endless Sea, Emperor Kunpeng has arrived!".
Immediately after, a hearty laugh came from all directions: "Brother Jin Chanzi, Kunpeng is visiting, come and welcome me!"
Before the laughter stopped, Emperor Jin's voice also rang out loudly.
"Brother Kunpeng, welcome, welcome!"
Zhang Xingyu followed the Three-Eyed Demon King and hurried forward.
An hour later, they arrived at the entrance of the thatched cottage.
Out of the thatched cottage, everyone held their breath.
Beside the thatched cottage, in the grass pavilion.
Two men and one woman were tasting tea and discussing the Dao.
Zhang Xingyu was very familiar with one man and one woman; they were the Demon Emperor Jin Chanzi and the beautiful big shot Liu Xueying, whom he had parted with not long ago.
The other one was a fat old man, white-faced and beardless, with a big belly, and all ten of his thick, short fingers were covered with gold rings. If he wore a skullcap, he would be a typical landlord.
However, even a person who looked like a landlord gave people a feeling of looking up at a high mountain.
Outside the grass pavilion, beside the fence.
A group of Demon Kings and a few fat fellows were standing.
Zhang Xingyu had seen all these Demon Kings.
Zhang Xingyu had never met those few fat fellows.
He was just sizing up these few fat fellows when one of them looked over at him.
That person's gaze was sharp and fierce, as if he wanted to swallow Zhang Xingyu alive.
Zhang Xingyu frowned.
Could this person have a grudge against him?
But he searched his memory and couldn't remember where he had seen him.
Perhaps this person was born a fool who loved to fight, or perhaps this fellow had just suffered a setback at someone's hands and wanted to vent his anger on someone.
Zhang Xingyu turned his head and stopped looking at him.
What's the point of fighting with a fool?
Whether it's fighting with words, energy, or kung fu, winning has no meaning, and if you lose, wouldn't you be worse than a fool?
He turned his gaze to the beautiful big shot Liu Xueying.
She had spring in her beautiful eyes and a smile on her lips, like a blooming poppy, beautiful enough to make people intoxicated.
The two old men were discussing the Dao, and she occasionally interjected a few words. Every time she spoke, it caused the two old men to nod continuously.
The beautiful sister is indeed extraordinary.
Zhang Xingyu was secretly admiring when he heard three long horn blasts from outside the mountain again.
Immediately after, that feminine and sharp voice rang out again: "Lanjing Sea, His Majesty the Dragon King has arrived!"
