Chapter 319: First Meeting with Niu Mowang on Cuiyun Mountain; Iron Fan Princess Acts Out the Abandoned Wife

Amidst the thunder filling the sky, a cloud carriage approached at a leisurely pace, with soldiers and generals stepping on rafts, moving back and forth to clear the path and stand guard on all sides.

A canopy was held high, and winged horses pulled the carriage, closely followed by thirty-six golden boys and jade girls; some fanned, some held incense, and others carried incense burners.

Set against the backdrop of the sky-filling divine thunder, the grandeur of the display shocked everyone.

It caused countless minor demons on Cuiyun Mountain to tremble, and even some great demons at the Golden Immortal level revealed looks of vigilance in their eyes.

Even though they had already been informed in advance that the one in the carriage was not an enemy, but an honored guest of their Great King, they still felt a sense of unease.

Only the Dali Bull Demon King, who had long since received word from Ruyi Zhenxian and had lined up to welcome them outside the gate, laughed heartily upon seeing the carriage, looking very pleased.

Logically speaking, not to mention in the secular world, even in the Xuanmen Immortal Dao, such a grand display for a visit would undoubtedly be seen as a guest usurping the host's role.

There was not the slightest hint of a friendly visit. It was either to smash the place or to look for trouble.

But Niu Mowang was different; although he came from the Xuanmen, he still retained the habits of the Demon Clan.

In the eyes of the Demon Clan, it is only natural for the strong to use such a display to manifest their power.

And for the face-conscious Demon Clan, being able to have such a figure come to visit is undoubtedly an extremely face-saving matter.

Among the Demon Clan, there are not so many rules; strength is the truth, great demons do as they please, and the weak only envy and revere.

The cloud carriage landed steadily in front of the gate of Cuiyun Mountain, and Ruyi Zhenxian stepped off the carriage first, came before Niu Mowang, and said, "Big Brother!"

Niu Mowang nodded and laughed, "Long time no see, younger brother is actually preparing to step into the Taiyi realm as well~"

"Times have changed!"

After exchanging pleasantries with his brother, Niu Mowang looked at Fang Longye and Yang Chan, who had stepped off the cloud carriage one after another, and bowed with a smile, "Third Holy Mother, you are as radiant as ever! I have long heard of the great name of Yuanlong Jun! Seeing you today, it truly lives up to its reputation~"

Fang Longye also returned the salute, "I have long heard of the Dali Bull Demon King's reputation for being righteous and helpful, and for being a man of the Four Seas. Having the honor to meet you today, this trip has not been in vain."

While exchanging pleasantries, he was carefully observing this figure who left a heavy mark in *Journey to the West*.

He saw before him a tall and fierce man, wearing an iron helmet, clad in golden armor, deer skin boots on his feet, a treasure belt tied around his waist, a mouth like a blood basin, teeth like copper plates, and holding a mixed iron rod in his hand.

He was majestic and awe-inspiring, filled with a murderous aura.

His appearance looked somewhat fierce, but he was calm and composed; although there was the ferocity of the Demon Clan, it was not obvious, and instead, there was a sense of peace like an immortal.

"Dali Bull Demon King~"

Fang Longye murmured in his heart.

Regarding Niu Mowang, he believed that anyone who had read *Journey to the West* would be deeply impressed.

The true origin of this King of Demons was a mystery; in his past life, some analyzed that he was the mount of the Shangqing Saint, but that was ultimately a fallacy.

Not to mention anything else, his true form was not some Kui bull, but a great white bull.

Looking at it from the surface alone, he did not have much of a relationship with the Xuanmen Immortal Dao, but instead had a great connection with the Brahma gate.

One must know that in Xiniu Hezhou, and even in the Brahma gate, the white bull is regarded as a sacred bull.

Of course, that was only from the surface.

But seeing this Dali Bull Demon King, he was burdened with auspicious light, his head gave birth to five colors, clear Qi rose and condensed into a canopy, and Duobao came slowly to dwell in the Daoist words.

It was clearly the path of the Xuanmen Immortal Dao.

In short, setting aside his background for now.

His ability alone was first-class. Upon his debut, he had the power to pull up mountains, self-styled as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the leader of the Seven Great Sages.

Moreover, he had extensive social connections and was linked to various forces; in heaven and on earth, Dao, Brahma, Dragon, and Demon, he could speak to them all.

He was the real number one demon king of Xiniu Hezhou.

What made people most envious was that this fellow's luck with women and peach blossoms was exceptionally good.

Not only did he hook up with the Iron Fan Princess, letting her give birth to a son, Hong Hai'er, but he also attracted the Yumian Princess to throw herself at him, automatically offering up her vast family fortune.

She even let him have her own residence, Jilei Mountain, just for the sake of a title.

"I don't know what kind of taste that Yumian Princess has," Fang Longye muttered in his heart, "to actually take a fancy to this rough man, the old bull?"

Anyway, as he looked him up and down, he didn't see that Niu Mowang's appearance was anything outstanding.

Hmph! It must be that she valued this old bull's strength and wanted to find a backer~

"Jilei Mountain~" Fang Longye lowered his eyelids, blocking the inexplicable look in his eyes, and thought to himself: "Sorry, old bull."

You just stay obediently here on Cuiyun Mountain~ You can't grasp the rest anyway, so let your brother handle it!

"Third Holy Mother has indeed found a good husband!"

Niu Mowang naturally did not know that Fang Longye had the intention of digging into his future corner in his heart.

After some observation,

Seeing Yang Chan's quiet and gentle appearance, with Fang Longye as the center, and coupled with the prior message from Ruyi Zhenxian, he naturally understood the relationship between the two.

Suddenly he laughed heartily and began to offer compliments.

It was just that while Fang Longye was observing him, Niu Mowang naturally was not without casting his gaze upon this Yuanlong Jun.

At the very least, these words of flattery had a few grains of sincerity.

"What a dashing figure!"

Niu Mowang's gaze kept turning toward Fang Longye, and he couldn't help but praise him in his heart.

With his considerable background, he was not without knowledge of this young Dragon Clan lord, knowing that he was a rare young talent of the Dragon Clan.

He could even be called the pillar of the younger generation of the Dragon Clan. Otherwise, he would not have been granted the position of Dragon Clan Young Lord by Yinglong Laozu, that figure with Great Divine Ability.

But having only heard his name and not seen the person, he ultimately did not have a concrete impression.

Seeing him today, he was indeed extraordinary.

He saw this Yuanlong Jun, who had stirred up waves in the heavens some time ago, with his hair tied by a golden crown, dressed in a white robe, his eyebrows flying into his temples, his appearance handsome to the extreme.

The whole person was graceful and heroic, towering and lofty.

The most critical point was his strength.

Although he could see that this Yuanlong Jun had only just stepped into the Taiyi realm not long ago, with his own Taiyi Golden Immortal cultivation, he still found it somewhat difficult to see through the other party.

Sure enough, a person who could catch the eye of that one from Guanjiangkou was never going to be simple.

Hearing the flattering words of Niu Mowang, Yang Chan merely blushed, not opening her mouth to refute him.

This could not help but make Niu Mowang click his tongue in wonder.

He had dealt with this Three Holy Mother before and knew her personality; she was not the quiet and gentle sort.

Yet seeing her again today, she was simply like a different person.

"Setting aside the strength of this Yuanlong, he is truly a master at dealing with women," Niu Mowang admired in his heart. "If there is a chance, I must certainly ask this Dragon Clan young lord for some pointers."

After some idle chatter between the two sides, Fang Longye waved his hand to signal the golden boys and jade girls behind him to present the gifts, which were very heavy.

"Haha~"

Niu Mowang laughed heartily, waving his hand as he said, "The fact that the two of you could come to my humble abode already makes it shine with brilliance; why bring any gifts?"

"Hearing that you, fellow Daoist, were going to open a residence and establish a career here, I came specifically to offer my congratulations. A meager gift, please do not take offense."

After some polite exchanges, Niu Mowang gestured for his subordinates to take the gifts and, together with Ruyi Zhenxian, led the two into Cangmang Mountain toward the Cave Abode.

……

"It is indeed a top-tier treasure land; you truly have great fortune, fellow Daoist!"

Walking along the way, just by taking a cursory glance, everything he saw made Fang Longye click his tongue in praise. He saw lush trees in the mountains, with rocks like lions and tigers, strange and craggy. The mountain used stone as its bones, and stone was the essence of the earth. Mists and clouds held the moisture of the night, and moss added a fresh green. The towering peaks rivaled the Penglai Islands, and the quiet fragrance of flowers was like the vast ocean.

The winding paths were secluded, with vines hanging down and stone steps stretching on; the two forests of bamboo were as cool as rain, and the path was thick with flowers like embroidered velvet. From time to time, white clouds could be seen coming from distant peaks, drifting with the wind without any fixed form.

The entire mountain was filled with spiritual energy to the extreme, and there were even thirty-six massive Dragon Veins guarding it, forming a pattern of a Dragon Vein spitting out a pearl, which was very rare.

Even though his Cangmang Mountain was no longer what it used to be and had seen leap-frog growth, compared to this Cuiyun Mountain, there was still a huge gap.

Hearing Fang Longye's praise, Niu Mowang laughed loudly and said modestly, "Fellow Daoist, you overpraise me!"

Before long, the group arrived at the location of Niu Mowang's Cave Abode on Cuiyun Mountain.

They saw pine and bamboo shading the front, with jade grasses growing in clusters, cranes dancing gracefully, and little deer bleating; in front of the Cave Abode stood a stone tablet inscribed with: Yuhua Cave.

"Yuhua Cave?"

Fang Longye was stunned for a moment; it was not Banana Cave.

However, he understood immediately.

That was right, it should not be Banana Cave. At present, this old ox had not yet hooked up with Iron Fan Princess, so naturally, the name of the Cave Abode should not be Banana Cave.

However, with the Journey to the West drawing near, Niu Mowang and Ruyi Zhenxian were appearing one after another, making it hard to keep up.

I fear that the contact between Iron Fan Princess and Niu Mowang is not far off; I must find an opportunity to take down this little spicy girl as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if the two of them really get tangled up together, wouldn't I be wearing a green hat without even knowing it? He was quite interesting; with a great beauty like Yang Chan by his side, he was still thinking about other women in his heart.

Niu Mowang, of course, did not know that Fang Longye was secretly harboring thoughts of digging up his corner, and instead greeted everyone with great enthusiasm, inviting them into the Cave Abode together.

Inside the Cave Abode, banana trees were planted everywhere, their leaves as green as shade. The pavilions and terraces were all within the green shade of the banana trees, making it very refreshing and cool.

Sitting among them, one could hear the chirping of birds.

Inside, various small ponds had been excavated, with red and white lotus flowers planted in them, lotus leaves swaying—it was indescribably vibrant.

"Hoo~"

Yang Chan's beautiful eyes turned, and she used her hand to smooth her hanging black hair, smiling at Niu Mowang: "Fellow Daoist, the place you chose for your dojo is really quite good."

"Haha~"

Niu Mowang laughed loudly: "To receive such words from the Three Holy Mother is naturally the honor of this Cuiyun Mountain~"

Yang Chan pursed her lips and smiled without a word.

Fang Longye echoed her words, saying: "Fellow Daoist, you are too modest; I see this as clearly a treasure land matching a hero~"

As a person of bold and generous character, this Dali Bull Demon King naturally had the trait that bold and generous people rarely lack—he cared about his reputation.

At this moment, hearing Fang Longye's praise, even though he knew it was just flattery, it still put him in a great mood, and his hearty laughter continued.

Amidst his laughter, Niu Mowang saw the two in front of him, looking like a husband singing and a wife following, in perfect harmony, and his heart stirred, thinking to himself that he could not lose face.

He immediately planned to invite the Princess who was resting in the depths of the Cave Abode to come over and keep them company.

Who knows, perhaps by borrowing the presence of this loving couple opposite him, he could spark some fire with that Iron Fan Princess!

Niu Mowang thought to himself.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something, turned his head to look not far away, and smiled: "What a coincidence, two fellow Daoists, allow me to introduce a friend to you~"

They saw that not far away, light suddenly burst forth.

Thousands of streams of light shot out from within, the rain-like colors sparse, as if a beaded curtain had been hung up.

Ding-dong, ding-dong~

The beaded curtain was lifted, and a female immortal stepped out, wearing a gorgeous palace dress, her wooden clogs tapping with a crisp, pleasant sound.

This female immortal came over prettily, her clothes flowing like flower shadows, her skirt fluttering, bright and peerless. A faint fragrance spread with her appearance, surpassing the scent of a hundred flowers.

Who could it be if not the Iron Fan Princess that Niu Mowang was thinking of? Damn it! Fang Longye recognized the person at a glance and couldn't help but curse inwardly.

How could this Iron Fan Princess be here? Could it be that she had already made contact with the Dali Bull Demon King so soon?

His heart was on high alert; he always felt that this demoness seemed to be brewing something bad, and was up to no good.

Sure enough~

As soon as this Iron Fan Princess appeared, she said with teary eyes: "It really is 'only seeing the new person laugh, never hearing the old person cry.' Fang-lang, long time no see~"

Her words were enunciated one by one, shrill to the extreme, like a cuckoo crying blood; clearly only a few short words, yet they stirred the surroundings, making anyone who heard them shed tears.

She was the very picture of a lovesick woman who had been abandoned.

This immediately caused Niu Mowang, Ruyi Zhenxian, and Yang Chan, who was standing beside Fang Longye, to cast strange looks at him.

Especially Niu Mowang; in his astonishment, the look he cast at Fang Longye was filled with a rage that made his eyes split.

Damn it!

It was hard enough for me, Old Ox, to finally set my sights on a beautiful wife, and in the end, I was only drinking the dishwater left by you kid! No, I hadn't even gotten to drink the dishwater yet.

An insult, a thorough and complete insult!

Feeling the gazes of the crowd, those eyes clearly viewing him as a scumbag who discards women after seducing them, Fang Longye was so angry his lungs were about to explode!

Slander, naked and barefaced slander! "You lowly wench, stop spouting such venom! When have I ever been with you?"

Women are indeed born actors.

Upon hearing these words, the Rakshasa Woman deliberately took several steps back in an instant, trembling and unsteady, looking as if she could not accept this.

Her left hand even moved to her chest, appearing as if she were heartbroken with grief, and she even let a mouthful of blood spill from the corner of her mouth, bright red and eye-catching.

A moment later, she raised her head and said with tear-filled eyes: "Fang Lang, how cruel your heart is!"

"Back then you called me your little sweetie, but now you open your mouth to call me a Demon and close it to call me a lowly wench~ If you don't love me anymore, then you don't, why must you use such words to hurt me?"

Every word and sentence was choked with sobs, full of deep emotion, and the "sincerity" mixed within was simply performed to the fullest by her.

Even Fang Longye, who knew clearly that she was telling lies with her eyes wide open, had the illusion that he had truly discarded her after seducing her upon seeing this performance.

Fang Longye was already like this.

Let alone the others who did not know the details.

Ruyi Zhenxian was still alright.

Although he originated from the Profound Gate, he was ultimately of the Demon Immortal kind; among the Demon Clan, bullying men and oppressing women, or discarding women after seducing them, could be said to be commonplace.

It was not strange at all~

At most, he could only sigh that Fang Longye, this young lord of the Dragon Clan, truly had a way with things. Not only had he taken down the sister of that person from Guanjiangkou, but he had even taken down the most favored granddaughter of that person from the Blood Sea.

Niu Mowang's attitude was complicated.

There was annoyance, shame and anger, and also a hint of admiration for Fang Longye that he could not quite put into words.

Of course,

What Fang Longye cared about most was Yang Chan's attitude.

"Miaojun, do not listen to this Demon's nonsense; she is trying to sow discord."

He kept glancing at Yang Chan, but saw that her expression was already as gloomy as water, clearly not unaffected by the performance of Iron Fan Princess.

He hurriedly sent a voice transmission to soothe her.
