Chapter 55 Captured alive
Lu Changgeng withdrew his water whip, looked down at Chang Er who was lying unconscious on the ground, and thought to himself that it was finally a bit quieter.
He moved the straw mat to the side, making room for a flat spot to lie down and begin to rest with his eyes closed.
-
Two days later, at dawn, the Soft Bone King sent a little demon to summon Yellow Hair Long Ears.
The blond guy kicked the long-eared man, who slowly woke up, his head still spinning.
He didn't know why he had fainted again, and he couldn't even remember questioning Huang Mao earlier. In a daze, he followed Huang Mao to report to the Soft Bone King.
Once all the demons had arrived, King Rougu, along with two demon generals, Huangmao, and Changer, rode the clouds and flew towards Cuiyun Town.
Yellow Hair and Long Ears had the lowest cultivation levels, so the task of carrying the gifts was assigned to the two demons.
Lu Changgeng didn't care for these things, but the five-hundred-year-old spiritual fruit could be used by the little spiders.
Now that they have focused their minds, they can consume the Earth Element Fruit and these spiritual fruits.
Before him, the Soft Bone King had changed into a light blue, wide-sleeved long dress, with a silver silk soft armor tied around her waist, and a jade hairpin in her hair, her elegance revealing signs of careful dressing up.
Walking on air, if it weren't for the four rather unattractive demons standing around her, she would truly look like a celestial being from the heavens.
Both demon generals were at the peak of the Condensation Realm, standing guard on his left and right, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.
Long Ears was next to Yellow Hair. At this moment, he seemed to remember something, glancing at Yellow Hair from time to time, and muttering something under his breath.
Lu Changgeng, disguised as a blond-haired man, remained calm and occasionally gave directions to the Soft Bone King.
As Cuiyun Town came into view, the Soft Bone King shaded his eyes with his hand, his phoenix eyes sweeping over the pine-covered mountains ahead.
The morning mist had not yet dissipated, and the entire mountain range was shrouded in a thin layer of haze, draped in a golden veil under the rising sun.
She nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "It's a nice place."
He then turned to Huang Mao and asked, "Yellow Hair, which mountain peak exactly is that wild path hidden on?"
Lu Changgeng, disguised as a blond-haired man, craned his neck and looked around in a pretentious manner. He then counted directions with his paws before pointing to a secluded hilltop to the west: "Your Majesty, it's in that mountain valley. That's where I bumped into him last time."
King Soft Bone glanced in the direction he pointed. The hilltop was inconspicuous, but the forest was dense, and it did indeed look like a hiding place.
She nodded, and led the four demons down from the clouds, landing on the mountaintop.
She straightened the sleeves of her light blue dress, cleared her throat, and said in a clear voice, "I am a wandering cultivator from the Soft Bone Cave of Star Dou Mountain. I heard that there are fellow cultivators here, so I have prepared a small gift to pay my respects. Would you be so kind as to come out and meet me?"
When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.
These demons are ashamed to reveal their origins, and only refer to themselves as rogue cultivators. Demon is not a good word, and if they were to encounter someone who kills demons to prove their Dao, their thousand years of hard work would be in vain.
A mountain breeze swept by, the pines rustled in the wind, but no one answered.
She called out twice more, and the sound echoed through the valley a few times before dissipating, without startling a single bird in the woods.
She frowned, turned to look at the blond-haired man, her phoenix eyes now filled with scrutiny and suspicion.
Lu Changgeng remained calm and stepped forward, whispering, "Your Majesty, if you shout from the air, the sound will dissipate long ago. That wild path was chased by Bibo Pool, and it's a time when everyone is on edge. If they see someone standing on the clouds in the distance, how dare they show their face? They might be afraid that we have reinforcements behind us. In my humble opinion, it would be better to land on the ground first, display the gift boxes, and let him see that we have no ill intentions. Only then will he dare to come out and speak."
After pondering for a moment, King Soft Bone felt that this made sense, so he led the four demons to land on a relatively flat open space in the mountain valley.
Two demon generals placed the gift box in front of them, and the Soft Bone King raised his voice again: "Fellow Daoist, this humble Daoist is here with sincere intentions and has no ill intentions..."
Before he could finish speaking, a voice suddenly came from beside him, neither loud nor soft, with a hint of lazy laughter: "Good rabbit, your Taoist master is here. If he wanted to see you, he would have seen you long ago. Why bother calling him?"
All the demons turned their heads at once, only to see that the yellow-haired man had changed his face and was all smiles.
"You!" King Soft Bone was stunned.
As Huang Mao chatted and laughed, his yellowish fur shed like a cicada's molt, revealing a vermilion-colored wide-sleeved robe and a head of striking crimson hair.
The magical power fluctuations of the Transformation Stage spread out like a tide, with overwhelming momentum, and pine needles fell to the ground in a flurry.
King Soft Bone's pupils shrank suddenly, and he took two quick steps back, instinctively trying to take off into the air.
However, without her moving, a net of seven-colored rays of light wove together above her head and enveloped her.
The Weaving Clouds Technique, a sealing and severing magic, instantly sealed her magical power the moment the rosy light entered her body.
She made three hand seals in quick succession, but before the seals could be formed, she sensed that the magical power was stagnating in her meridians like glue, and then the water snakes that appeared squeezed her into a shapely rice dumpling.
The other three demons were even worse off; they were grabbed by three giant water hands before they could even react.
"Move even once, and you're dead!" Lu Changgeng hissed.
"You...you release me!" King Soft Bone struggled desperately, his voice softening slightly at first before hardening again. "If you dare touch a single hair on my head, the Ape Demon King will not let you off! This entire area of over a thousand miles is his territory; you can't escape!"
Lu Changgeng ignored her, tied up the two demon generals and Chang'er tightly and threw them aside. He then casually sealed their five senses and magical powers before turning his attention away.
He surveyed the surrounding mountains and forests, making sure no one was watching, then picked up the Soft Bone King and transformed into a streak of water light, flying towards Pansiling.
At the Zhuogou Spring, the water vapor remained as usual.
He threw the Soft Bone Queen into the spring, then merged into it, wrapping her completely in his own body.
After transforming, the efficiency of the Cleansing Spring's feedback was more than 30% higher than before, and the Soft Bone King soaked in the spring for a full five days.
She woke up intermittently several times over the past five days. Each time she woke up, she would either curse loudly or pretend to beg for mercy, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Lu Changgeng would knock her unconscious.
Lu Changgeng ignored it and sorted through the information he had received, also gaining some fragments of memory.
Knowing that the Soft Bone King had given himself the name Qin Wu and was a Soft Bone Rabbit spirit, Lu Changgeng thought to himself that he had thought the Soft Bone King's surname was Tang.
The cultivation method she practiced was called the "Little Sumeru Nine Luminaries Spirit Flying Scripture," a genuine Buddhist cultivation method that could help one achieve the body of a pure and immaculate celestial maiden. However, it was an incomplete version, and it was actually given to her by the Ape Demon King. It's unknown where the Ape Demon King obtained this Buddhist cultivation method.
Unfortunately, he was originally a demon, and he didn't have a proper master to guide him into the sect. He only cultivated half-baked skills and had no trace of authentic Buddhist teachings.
By the fifth day, the feeding gradually stopped.
Lu Changgeng scooped the Soft Bone King out of the spring and placed him on the stone slab beside the spring.
She was soaked to the bone, her light blue dress clinging to her body, and she gradually regained consciousness.
She had no idea why this wild path had put him in the spring. Not only was she unharmed, but she was actually quite comfortable. She was preparing to use her last bit of strength to find an opportunity to escape.
Suddenly, she noticed that Lu Changgeng's figure was flowing and changing like water. His crimson hair turned into the jade hairpin on her head, his vermilion robe turned into her light blue wide-sleeved dress, and his facial features gradually closed up in front of her until they became a face exactly like hers.
