Chapter 270 - 224 Lustful Intentions

Dark clouds slowly descended from the sky, revealing three dazzling Buddhas.

However, Lin Fang and Feng Jiu could see through their disguise at a glance. Perhaps having lived too comfortably over the years, these three monsters maintained a poor disguise that anyone with clear eyes could instantly spot.

Yet, there are always some ordinary people in the world who cannot see the true face.

Just then, a monk dressed in a kasaya walked solemnly toward the three fake Buddhas, seemingly wishing to worship them.

However, Feng Jiu’s expression subtly changed. Her beautiful eyes intently fixed on the monk as he approached slowly, and after a long while, she sighed and said, "Is that Golden Cicada?"

Feng Jiu’s voice carried a hint of surprise.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Fang indeed found it was Tang Monk; unexpectedly, they had run right into him.

Yet, what concerned him more was what Feng Jiu had just mentioned, seeming quite familiar with Golden Cicada.

"You know him?" Lin Fang asked curiously, wondering what relationship the Demon Emperor had with the Buddhist Sect’s Golden Cicada.

Feng Jiu smiled and said, "Of course, I know him. Before he joined the Buddhist Sect, he was one of the Demon Clan." Feng Jiu explained with a smile.

"He is a monster?" Lin Fang said, finding it hard to believe.

"Indeed, his true form is that of an ancient Golden Cicada who later joined the Buddhist Sect, thus disappearing from the Demon Clan," Feng Jiu slowly narrated the past.

Meanwhile, Tang Monk was getting closer to the three fake Buddhas.

Full of a pilgrim’s spirit, he went to worship the Buddhas, unaware that the three pretending Buddhas were already grinning broadly.

"Where did this bold monk come from?"

"Big brother, we can’t miss out on such a delicious treat coming our way!"

The trio dropped their disguise, revealing their fearsome true faces, startling Tang Monk.

However, before he could shout, he was already swept away by the three monsters, transformed into a gust of demonic wind.

The three monsters, having enjoyed the sesame oil, and now acquiring a snack like Tang Monk, were pleased with themselves, their ride on the dark clouds felt somewhat lighter.

Just then, the second brother suddenly stopped in his tracks with a slight exclamation.

"Number two, why did you stop all of a sudden?"

"Look, there’s a beauty over there!"

The other two looked in the direction he was pointing and saw Feng Jiu standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Lin Fang by the riverbank, their eyes brightening at the sight.

"Indeed, a rare beauty."

These three were worldly and knowledgeable monsters, not typically lecherous or the ones to be stopped in their tracks by a beautiful woman, yet for some reason, they found an unusual allure about Feng Jiu, drawing them in.

Deep down, they felt the urge to possess her.

"Big brother, little brother, you go ahead. I’ll bring this young lady back for us!" said the King of Summer Resort with a lascivious grin.

The two monsters were reluctant to agree but, seeing the captured Tang Monk in their hands, they could only say reluctantly, "Make it quick!"

"Alright!" King of Summer Resort cheerfully ran down.

The two monsters, having no choice, brought Tang Monk back to the Cave Mansion first.

King of Summer Resort descended from the sky and rushed to Lin Fang and another’s side, laughing loudly, "Such a delicate beauty you are, follow me from now on, and I guarantee you’ll enjoy the finest delicacies."

Feng Jiu and Lin Fang were suddenly stunned on the spot, wondering what the monster was up to.

"Oh dear, Your Majesty, this won’t do, for I am already married!" Feng Jiu deliberately pushed Lin Fang to her front, speaking with feigned shyness.

This scene made King of Summer Resort even more eager, nearly unable to resist taking this charming beauty into his arms to cherish her thoroughly.

So, he glanced at Lin Fang with a fierce smile and said rather rudely, "Boy, this beauty belongs to me now. You better scram!"

Lin Fang glanced helplessly at Feng Jiu, noticing the mischief in her eyes, and thought to himself, "Mercy, Your Majesty! I’ll scram right away!"

With that, without another glance at Feng Jiu, he ran off in a puff of smoke, leaving Feng Jiu standing there, dumbfounded.

She hadn’t expected Lin Fang to deviate from the script like this. Wasn’t this the time for him to stand up heroically and rescue the beauty? Why would he run away so quickly?

King of Summer Resort, feeling no hint of the brewing trouble, laughed heartily as he watched Lin Fang flee, saying, "Beauty, how could a wimp like him deserve you? Come with me. Whatever you desire in Jinhua Mansion, I will provide."

"Really?" Feng Jiu asked, her gaze cold.

"Of course, you can ask anyone within hundreds of miles. My words, King of Summer Resort, have never been false. With me, you’ll enjoy endless riches and honor. Why stay with a wimp?" he almost swore, thumping his chest.

Feng Jiu smiled and said, "Even if I wanted the Supreme’s position?"

"Anything you want!"

King of Summer Resort was so beguiled by Feng Jiu’s every smile that he didn’t even listen carefully and agreed outright.

"I mean, can I have the Jade Emperor’s throne as well?" Feng Jiu said with a cold laugh.

It was then that King of Summer Resort truly comprehended her words, and his expression turned grave instantly. How could a mere mortal dare utter such words?

The Jade Emperor was the Supreme of the Three Realms; even they, rebellious as monsters are, harbored fear towards this ruler of the Three Realms.

As this woman mentioned the Jade Emperor without a hint of respect, King of Summer Resort, though lustful, was not foolhardy and quickly sensed something amiss.

Ordinarily, women would scatter their souls in fright upon seeing him, but here she was, jesting and laughing, her eyes devoid of any fear.

"Who are you exactly? What are you trying to do here?" he asked solemnly.

He reached out his hand to grab Feng Jiu by the neck.

However, as his arm extended halfway, he found himself immobile, as if restrained by a terrifying force, completely unable to move.

Fear appeared on his face as he asked apprehensively, "Who are you really?"

Feng Jiu didn’t answer; instead, she burst forth with an overwhelming aura so deep and vast that King of Summer Resort couldn’t help but fall to his knees.

At this moment, his heart was engulfed in regret, hating himself for succumbing to lust and descending from the sky. The beauty before him was clearly no beauty at all, but an ancient monster, poised to devour him whole.

All he could do now was pray that his two brothers, who had been away for a long time, would sense something was wrong and come to find him.
