Chapter 94: Yeah Right
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At night.
The mountains were quieter than usual. It seemed like the sounds of demons had vanished.
Li Nianfan was slightly surprised but he also did not care. He prepared to go to sleep.
As time passed, it was midnight.
Daji walked out of her room and bowed at his room. She thought to herself, ‘Master, tonight’s the night I help you with your worries!’
She looked up at the bright moon in the night sky. Then, she snuck out of the four-part architecture.
…
The bushes were thick in the deeper parts of the forest. The ground was caved in at the center, like a natural giant bowl created by Mother Nature.
In the middle of the ‘bowl’, there was a single spot that was illuminated. It was rowdy and noisy with laughter.
Countless demons had gathered there. They had human bodies but animal heads.
A few of the demons that refused to be in the half-human-half-animal state were still in their animal form.
For example, the Six-Tailed Fox.
She was running in between the demons. Then, she leaped to a big tree.
She could see a lot of demons from the tree. Some were flying in the sky, some were crawling or running. There were also demons hanging on the tree. They were everywhere.
The little fox was trembling in fear. Her white fur was shivering, too.
She looked at the jade pendant on her neck. She was scared. “What should I do? How can I get away from all these demons? Sister told me that this Jade would protect me. How would I know if what she said was true?”
Suddenly, a Green Python Demon slithered next to her and said, “Little fox, piss off. This is my spot!”
The Six-Tailed Fox bared her teeth at the Green Python Demon with her tails up.
The Green Python Demon hissed and was on its guard. “Whatcha looking at?”
The little fox’s ears curled back. She scoffed and said, “Fine, I’ll move.”
She leaped down from the tree and was among the demons.
Kaboom!
Suddenly, there was an explosion. The ground shook.
A Black Boar Demon descended from the sky and stood at the center of the demon crowd. He had a giant belly and a pig head with two huge tusks that were shiny. He glanced at the demons with squinted eyes.
“I used to be the Silver Moon Demon King’s first lieutenant. We all know that everybody has gathered here today for the Demon King position! As always, we shall follow the traditional rules. The new Demon King would be decided based on capabilities. Everyone here shall bear witness!”
The demons all chanted, “Demon King, Demon King…”
Roar!
That was a roar of a tiger!
The roar was so powerful that it bent the trees.
It overpowered the demon chants.
“Count me in for the Demon King position, too!” A Tiger Demon slowly stepped out from the crowd. The Tiger Demon glanced at everyone arrogantly.
Many demons cowered at his glare. They were respectfully fearful of the Tiger Demon.
“Count me in, too!” A Lion Demon stepped out and locked eyes with the Tiger Demon.
Then, a black Bear Demon also stepped out. “Me, too!”
Everyone went from being noisy to quiet.
The Bear Demon, Tiger Demon, and Lion Demon were three huge demons. They looked very powerful and it made all the other demons cower.
No other demons dared to step out.
The Black Boar Demon yelled, “Are there any other demons that wish to step out?”
The Tiger Demon sneered, “We don’t need to wait. Aside from the three of us, who else would dare run for the Demon King position in our turf? Let’s begin!”
“I… Me.”
It was a meek voice. It drew the attention of every demon.
“What?”
The Tiger Demon glared at the white furball and snorted. “Oh, it’s a small Six-Tailed Fox.”
The Tiger Demon walked toward her and burst out laughing. “Little fox, you haven’t even grown out your seventh tail yet. How about you grow up first? Better luck next time!”
‘Sister told me to not be a coward!’
The Six-Tailed Fox clenched her jaw and leaped onto a big rock. She spread out her six tails and said, “I’m taking the Demon King position!”
She tried to be loud but it was not intimidating at all. If anything, it was somewhat cute.
Snort!
Suddenly, everyone burst out laughing. Everyone was laughing at her.
The Tiger Demon squinted and moved closer. The head of the Tiger Demon was as big as the Six-Tailed Fox in her entirety.
The Tiger Demon teased, “This little foxy is quite cute. I might take you in as my Demon Wife when I’m Demon King.”
The Six-Tailed Fox was instantly pissed off.
“Ew! Yeah right, you ugly thing!” She was so angry that she instantly raised her butt and farted in his face.
The Tiger Demon was close to her when he was flirting with her so she farted right in his face. Even his facial hair moved from that fart.
He was startled.
The fart did not cause any harm, but it was the most humiliating attack ever.
“Die!”
The Tiger Demon was menacing. He was ready to kill.
He raised his paw and attacked.
The Six-Tailed Fox easily dodged it with a hop and ran away.
Boom!
The big rock she stood on was smashed into pieces.
The Tiger Demon locked onto his fleeing target. His orange eyes squinted and his fangs were bared, dripping with saliva.
He opened his mouth and aimed at the fox. Blades of wind started to appear.
Zoom—
The trees and bushes were cut in half by the wind blades.
All the demons dodged it, but some unsuspecting demons were not fast enough and paid the ultimate price.
The Six-Tailed Fox looked scared, squeaking as she avoided the attacks.
“Ha.” The Tiger King smiled coldly. With one wave, the wind started to change.
The Six-Tailed Fox felt as if she was running against the wind. Her white fur was ruffled and messy. She could not move forward and felt like she was being pulled back by the wind.
The wind got stronger and eventually, it was like a magnet, pulling the Six-Tailed Fox towards the Tiger Demon.
“Since you’re not willing to be my Demon Wife, I’ll just eat you!” The Tiger Demon had a menacing smile. He opened his bloody mouth and was ready to swallow the Six-Tailed Fox.
The Six-Tailed Fox was petrified. She cried and screamed, “I don’t want to be eaten! Sister! Sister, save me!”
