#2397 - The Bull Demon King is back.
As luck would have it, Jin Chanzi and the others had just left when the Bull Demon King arrived.
He looked at everything inside the Cuiyun Cave, a bit puzzled, and wondered, "Has my home been robbed?"
It shouldn't be, logically speaking.
The Bull Demon King was quite aware of Princess Iron Fan's strength.
The possibility of being robbed wasn't very high.
Especially near the desolate Flaming Mountain, such a thing was even less likely.
There were no powerful cultivators in this vicinity.
In other words, Princess Iron Fan was the most powerful cultivator around here.
He walked into the Cuiyun Cave, full of doubt, and saw Princess Iron Fan tied to a stone pillar, her mouth stuffed.
His eyes immediately turned red, and he rushed up to untie her and ask what had happened.
Princess Iron Fan, having suffered such humiliation, burst into tears when she saw the Bull Demon King return.
She nestled in his arms and, after a long time, managed to explain what had happened.
Hearing this, the Bull Demon King was immediately furious.
"Good heavens, that monkey and I are sworn brothers, yet he dares to treat my wife like this! I won't forgive him!"
As the saying goes, a friend's wife should not be trifled with.
Yet today, this fellow dared to bring people into his wife's cave dwelling.
It was simply outrageous!
He had considered him a brother, but this was completely unethical!
"I will catch up with that scoundrel and question him thoroughly. Perhaps today, our friendship will end, and we will become mortal enemies!"
With that, the Bull Demon King fled into the distance.
Leaving Princess Iron Fan alone, wiping away her tears.
The reason she had been crying so bitterly was partly genuine grievance, and partly an act.
She wanted to test how much true affection the Bull Demon King still had for her.
This test... was quite satisfying to her.
Meanwhile, Jin Chanzi and his group arrived at Flaming Mountain with the two palm-leaf fans.
The Monkey King casually grabbed one and started fanning.
It would have been better if he hadn't fanned at all, because the flames immediately became even more intense.
Jin Chanzi and the others couldn't help but be stunned.
"I seem to know the purpose of these two palm-leaf fans. One is used to extinguish flames, and the other is used to increase them. But why set up two palm-leaf fans here?"
"Are we saying there's a possibility that the sages who set up this trial didn't expect us to deal with it in such a simple and crude way?"
"That's quite possible. I'd say this is all Jin Chanzi's fault. If Jin Chanzi hadn't brought us along, we definitely wouldn't have resorted to such robbery."
"...I just want to ask, are you really that shameless? How did it become me leading you in plundering? You were all even more excited than I was when we were taking action!"
......
After testing the first palm-leaf fan, the Monkey King directly switched to the second one.
But no matter how he fanned, the flames of Flaming Mountain didn't react at all.
Moreover, the palm-leaf fan seemed to be just an ordinary object.
There were no flowing lights or other unusual phenomena on the surface.
The group stood there and thought for a few seconds.
They immediately understood that such treasures usually came with incantations.
In other words, only when paired with the incantation could the treasure be activated to its fullest extent.
Without the incantation, it was completely useless.
The group exchanged glances, the meaning in their eyes was clear.
They had miscalculated this time!
If they had known that the palm-leaf fan couldn't be used just by snatching it, they would have definitely questioned Princess Iron Fan thoroughly.
Now... it didn't seem too late to go back!
It was just an extra trip.
The group on the Journey to the West were going further and further down the path of darkness.
"Let's go, we'll go back now and demand the incantation from Princess Iron Fan. It's outrageous that this fellow didn't tell us the incantation along with it."
"Are we saying, why would people tell us the incantation? After all, we broke into Princess Iron Fan's cave dwelling to rob her. It's not certain that we'll have any hope this time."
"Although I haven't had much contact with Princess Iron Fan, I don't think she's the type to give in easily, plus the Bull Demon King is there."
"Hmm~ If we use torture, we definitely won't be able to explain it to the Bull Demon King in the future. It seems we can only outsmart them, not use force."
......
As Jin Chanzi and the others were walking back, they suddenly saw a black whirlwind appear in front of them.
When the black whirlwind dissipated, the Bull Demon King walked out, filled with anger, and said, "You really have a lot of nerve!"
"That monkey, you keep saying that you and I are sworn brothers, now I ask you, what was that just now?"
Monkey King: "......"
Damn, the owner has come to the door!
What could he say about this? His side was indeed a bit unreasonable.
Now, facing the Bull Demon King's scolding and blaming, he could only listen silently.
Jin Chanzi and the others fully demonstrated the excellent style of not fighting back when hit and not talking back when scolded.
No matter what the Bull Demon King said, they didn't refute it.
After a while, perhaps the Bull Demon King himself was tired of talking.
Or perhaps the anger in his heart had subsided a little, he continued, "What do you say we should do about this?"
Jin Chanzi changed the subject, "We were originally going back to apologize, but we didn't expect to meet you."
Marshal Tianpeng and the others couldn't help but give Jin Chanzi a thumbs up in secret.
When it comes to lying through your teeth, you're the one!
They weren't going back to apologize on this trip, they were clearly going to ask Princess Iron Fan for the incantation.
But in Jin Chanzi's mouth, it became an apology?
The Bull Demon King looked at Jin Chanzi's sincere expression and was half-convinced, "Is this really true?"
Jin Chanzi said, "Of course it's true."
The Bull Demon King rolled his eyes, he looked at the two palm-leaf fans in the Monkey King's hand, and then looked at the flames that hadn't been extinguished in the distance.
He immediately understood what was going on, and his voice couldn't help but become even more angry:
"Do you think I'm a child? You clearly didn't get the incantation and wanted to force it out of her?"
The situation became tense again.
Based on the attitude of settling matters peacefully, under Jin Chanzi and others' reversal of black and white.
The Bull Demon King took back his two palm-leaf fans and left angrily...
Leaving Jin Chanzi and the others looking at each other, the development of this plot was really unexpected.
The Bull Demon King being able to come back at this time was a bit unexpected.
"It's a pity, if only we had acted sooner, now that we acted so late, the Bull Demon King has returned and taken back the palm-leaf fans as well, what a headache!"
"What do you say, if we rush up now and tie up the Bull Demon King along with Princess Iron Fan, and then use some means, what do you say is the probability of success?"
"The probability of success is definitely there, but the most urgent task now is not to obtain the palm-leaf fan again, but to obtain the incantation of the palm-leaf fan, otherwise how will we pass Flaming Mountain."
"If we really tie the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan together, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to obtain the incantation of the palm-leaf fan. We still have to outsmart them, we can't mess around."
......
Plan No. 1 has now been declared a complete failure.
Jin Chanzi and the others were racking their brains thinking about Plan No. 2!
As for the Bull Demon King, he returned with the palm-leaf fan, filled with anger.
He handed the palm-leaf fan to Princess Iron Fan, and he said angrily:
"These guys, if it weren't for their good attitude, I would have slapped them to death!"
Hmm~ This statement is quite suspicious of boasting.
Although his cultivation is good, it's hard to fight four hands with two fists.
He will definitely not be a match for Jin Chanzi and the others.
Although there is a lot of boasting, it does not affect the sweetness in Princess Iron Fan's heart at all.
