There is a beast in the bright morning.

Chapter 174 Succubus Nine-Life Celestial Fox

Having accepted Xu Dashan's commission, the Four-Faced Beast led Tianlu and Haochen to Black Cloud Mountain early in the morning to find Xu Hengji.

However, after walking for a short while, Tianlu couldn't help but ask, "Qi Bu Xiang, speaking of Black Cloud Mountain, isn't it quite a distance from Rainbow Cloud Mountain? How come Xu Hengji went over there?"

The four-legged creature recalled what Rabbit Lord had told it to him last night, and its eyes couldn't help but turn to Hao Chen beside it.

Hao Chen immediately noticed that the four-legged creature was looking at him. He was taken aback at first, then pointed at himself uncertainly: "Four-legged creature, could this matter be related to me?"

The four-legged creature nodded: "It is indeed related to you, but it was mainly Qiongqi who caused the trouble."

"Qiongqi? Wasn't he recently entangled with Xiezhi? How did he get dragged into this again? What's going on here?"

Hao Chen was a little puzzled. He had heard that Qiongqi and Xiezhi had almost become partners after all their bickering. With Xiezhi watching over them, Qiongqi shouldn't have had a chance to cause trouble.

The four-legged creature rolled its eyes at Hao Chen, annoyed: "You have the nerve to say that? In order to avoid going to school, you actually learned to let Qiongqi harass Xiezhi."

Hao Chen scratched his head and replied somewhat embarrassedly, "Hehe, there's nothing I can do about it. The Xie Zhi keeps butting me, and I just can't stand it."

"If you went to class properly, why would the Xie Zhi have rammed you? Have you ever seen a Xie Zhi ram a walnut?"

"Hey, you Qiongqi, don't just stand there talking, keep talking! If I hadn't had Qiongqi keep the Xiezhi occupied, would you have been able to play mahjong with Rabbit Lord and the others these past few days?"

"I forgot who was it that had a mahjong addiction and secretly played mahjong, and who was forced to sleep with their butt sticking out after being pushed around? And who gave them the drugs? I have video and photo evidence, do you want to see it?"

Hao Chen was about to take out his phone when he was startled and the Si Bu Xiang quickly covered Hao Chen's mouth: "Shut up, if you say anything more, you'll be sleeping in a doghouse tonight."

Hearing that the four-legged creature wouldn't let him sleep in the bed, Hao Chen decisively chose to follow his heart. For the sake of momentary pleasure, he was willing to give up the furry embrace, which was a losing proposition.

After the Qiongqi explained, Hao Chen learned that in addition to harassing the Xie Zhi, Qiongqi had also asked Xu Dashan and his son Xu Hengji to help him build a house.

However, Xu Dashan and Xu Hengji could not reach a consensus on the style of the house.

Xu Hengji felt that his father did not respect his ideas, so he left in a fit of anger, intending to find a place that would appreciate his skills.

"So he went to a remote and impoverished place like Black Cloud Mountain?!"

Hao Chen was dumbfounded, thinking, "This can be a reason for running away from home? Isn't this reason too cheap?"

The four-legged creature sighed, thinking to itself, "Who can argue with that?" It was also shocked when it heard the reason, but since Xu Dashan had asked for its help, it had no choice but to help him find his son.

Then, the four-legged creature continued, "Moreover, I heard that compared to the Rainbow Cloud Mountain, Black Cloud Mountain is more treacherous, inhabited by many demons, and is often rainy. Xu Dashan is worried about his son's safety and wants us to find Xu Hengji as soon as possible."

As soon as the Qi-like creature finished speaking, Tianlu looked at the Qi-like creature and Haochen with a look of surprise: "A demon?! Doesn't that mean we can have a picnic?"

"..." Hao Chen sighed and rubbed his forehead, thinking to himself, "Tianlu, can you be normal for once? Stop thinking about eating everything."

Hao Chen then recalled in his mind that, if he remembered correctly, there was indeed a group of demons in Black Cloud Mountain in the original story, and the leader seemed to be a leopard demon, but in the end, they all seemed to end up in Tianlu's stomach.

Hao Chen thought to himself that he could probably make a small profit from this.

When Tianlu saw Haochen suddenly freeze up while talking and then let out a loud, gurgling laugh, he was immediately startled: "Haochen, are you alright? Your laughter is terrifying."

"Haha, I'm fine, how could I be fine? I just thought of some good things." Hao Chen wiped away non-existent drool from the corner of his mouth.

"Good news? What good news is it? Tell me!" As soon as Tianlu heard that there was good news, he became like a curious child and wouldn't let go of Haochen.

Hao Chen was so startled by Tian Lu's sudden movement that he instantly forgot about the Four-Faced Beast beside him and blurted out everything he knew without thinking.

"Tianlu, I think there are demons in Black Cloud Mountain, right? I imagine those demons would bully those kind spirits," Haochen said with an air of profound foresight.

"Yeah, so?"

"In that case, let's go find Xu Hengji on this trip, and while we're at it, we'll slay some demons and monsters. We can also collect some fees from the spirits of Black Cloud Mountain. It won't be much; we'll just ask them for some gold and jade."

When Tianlu heard that there was gold and jade to eat on this trip, he happily hugged Haochen and gave him a kiss: "I see, Haochen, you're so smart."

"Hehe, it's just so-so."

Hao Chen, completely infatuated with Tianlu, didn't even notice the Qilin's erect ears. If he had seen them, he would have known that his trip had been in vain.

Meanwhile, deep within Black Cloud Mountain, there is a huge house under construction.

In front of the house, a leopard spirit knelt on the ground with a look of fear on its face: "Your Majesty, why have you come? Rest assured, Your Majesty, the house will definitely be repaired on time."

The Holy Ape King glanced at the kneeling leopard demon: "Go down."

Upon hearing this, the leopard spirit felt as if he had been granted a pardon and quickly retreated, as he did not want to face this capricious master.

I still remember that before the Holy Ape King came to Black Cloud Mountain, he, the Leopard Demon, was the biggest monster leader in Black Cloud Mountain.

As a result, when the Holy Ape King arrived, he subdued them with absolute force and made them constantly search for rare and precious materials to take away his vital essence for his cultivation.

Black Cloud Mountain is barren, so where would you find so many rare and precious materials? But what the leopard spirit didn't expect was that the Holy Ape King actually used their essence to cultivate because they hadn't collected enough rare and precious materials.

The leopard demon was terrified when he witnessed the Holy Ape King suck the life out of one of his former subordinates.

Left with no other choice and in order to survive, the leopard demon had to hand over a dual cultivation technique he had obtained, hoping to use it to plead with the Holy Ape King to let him leave.

However, what the leopard demon did not expect was that after the Holy Ape King obtained the dual cultivation technique, he not only did not let him leave, but even used him to test the effect of the technique.

This made the leopard spirit extremely depressed. He used to use others for cultivation, but he never expected that one day he would become someone else's dual cultivation material.

Fortunately, the final result was good. The Holy Ape King was very satisfied with the dual cultivation technique given by the leopard spirit. However, because the spirits of Black Cloud Mountain were of poor quality, the leopard spirit became the Holy Ape King's first dual cultivation partner.

Unable to fight back or escape, the leopard demon seemed resigned to its fate and limped back to the temporary residence arranged for it by the Holy Ape King.

Watching the leopard demon's departing figure, the Holy Ape King sneered. He naturally knew that the leopard demon was not convinced by him and was probably talking about him behind his back.

If he didn't still need to use the leopard demon to practice his skills, he would have eaten this rebellious leopard demon long ago.

The Holy Ape King recalled that he had been careless and was injured by that wretched black dog, forcing him to hide in this godforsaken place.

The Holy Ape King roared to the sky, "Just wait, you stinking Pixiu! Once my demonic powers are fully developed, I will sacrifice you and your companions to the heavens!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, our little monkey is angry. Let me guess, did someone beat him up?!"

Just then, a tall woman in a red cheongsam suddenly appeared beside the Holy Ape King, placing one hand on his shoulder and the other on his chin.

However, faced with the woman's provocative actions and words, the Holy Ape King not only did not get angry, but also revealed a trace of fear in his eyes.

"Little monkey, am I really that scary? You're making me so sad!"

At that moment, a red light flashed in the woman's eyes, and nine white fox tails appeared behind her, while a strange pink gas surrounded her body.

Upon seeing this, the Holy Ape King trembled and quickly took a few steps back, his voice trembling slightly: "Lady Succubus, didn't you say you were going on a trip? Why do you have time to come here today?"

"Do I need to report to you where I'm going?" The woman, known as the succubus, turned cold upon hearing this, and the air seemed to drop several degrees.

"No need, no need, Lady Succubus can go wherever she wants." The Holy Ape King quickly shook his head; he had no desire to provoke this crazy woman.

When he first came to Black Cloud Mountain, he encountered a succubus, but he was inexperienced at the time and relied on the imperial weapon in his possession.

Therefore, upon encountering the succubus, he set his sights on her essence, intending to devour it to heal his wounds.

As soon as the Holy Ape King made a move, he was instantly suppressed by the Succubus's gaze; the speed was so fast that the Holy Ape King couldn't even react.

In the end, even the Holy Ape King didn't know why the succubus had spared him.

Although the Holy Ape King survived this time, he was terrified of the succubus after witnessing her methods.

At this moment, the succubus looked ahead, gently swaying her nine fox tails. Her eyes held a captivating charm tinged with a hint of melancholy as she murmured softly, "You heartless man, I've returned. Will you continue to suppress me this time?"
