Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons

With a slight sound of the bowstring, a galloping wild horse fell to the ground with a feather arrow piercing its neck.

Agongcuo jumped off her horse, her robe fluttering like a blue flower under the bright sun. She strode towards her prey, drew the snake-shaped golden sword from her waist, and slashed it without hesitation.

The gushing blood condensed into thousands of golden beads in midair and scattered all over the ground. The horse head that rolled in the dust had also turned into a golden horse head at some point, with its eyes wide open, filled with fear and terror.

Agongcuo put away his sword, picked up the heavy golden horse head with one hand, turned around and said, "Grand Master, if you put this head in your garden, will it be more vivid than the statues made by those craftsmen?"

The pearl necklace on the chest of Ji Zun, whom she called the Grand Master, was in disarray, and one of the turquoise stones hanging on his ears, which were as big as pine cones, was missing. It was obvious that he had put a lot of effort in the process of riding a horse to chase the young and strong queen. Even his voice was a little breathless: "It is very vivid, but being stared at by such a pair of eyes, I am afraid I will never sleep well at night."

Agongcuo smiled and said, "Then put it in my bedroom and let it stare at me day and night. It will remind me all the time that if I don't avenge my mother, I won't deserve a day of peace."

From the corner of his eye, he saw the Lion King shrink his head. Agongcuo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Second Imperial Master, you were wearing thin clothes when you came out. Did the wind get into your neck?"

The Lion King laughed dryly and said, "No, no, no, I'm wearing very warm clothes. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Five years is enough time to mature a young girl into a beautiful young lady, to sharpen a pure heart that is inexperienced in the world into a strong block of iron, and to forge a resolute and iron-blooded king.

During these five years, Agongcuo, in addition to government affairs, also immersed herself in cultivation. Not only did she master the divine powers passed down from generation to generation by the Jiadi King, she also learned Taoism from Jizun and magical powers from the Lion King. She had an extraordinary bloodline, and with her life-threatening hard work, her cultivation improved by leaps and bounds. Now her cultivation has far surpassed the peak of her father who was misled by love, and she can easily call the wind and rain, and her methods are more complex and higher.

The heart is also harder.

The Lion King secretly glanced at the horse head that was still open-eyed, and felt the chill in his neck. Although the Green Lion Spirit, the White Elephant Spirit, and the Dapeng were mainly responsible for the death of Agongcuo's mother, Queen Chiji, he had to bear some joint responsibility for leaking the news by mistake and failing to report it, otherwise Manjusri Bodhisattva would not have punished him to serve in Jiadi for nine years.

Now, only five years have passed. He is increasingly frightened as he watches the little queen he and his disciple, the Demon Subduing Goddess, grow up. Every day, when he sees Agoncuo, he can see even more frightening flames of hatred in the eyes of this terrifyingly beautiful girl. He even suspects that if she had not been stopped by her status as the Master of Manjusri Bodhisattva, she would have chopped off his lion head with her snake-shaped golden sword without hesitation, just like she chopped off the head of the wild horse.

After all, his eldest brother the Green Lion Spirit and his two "good brothers" were far away. Rather than seeking revenge on these three people on an endless journey without knowing the direction, it would be more convenient to chop off his enemy who was serving under his nose.

But she actually restrained her murderous intent for five whole years, and even appointed him as the second national teacher and wanted to learn skills from him.

So the Lion King became even more afraid of her.

Seeing him like he was facing a snake or scorpion, Agongcuo chuckled lightly, and suddenly he seemed to realize something and looked up. The lion king was surprised to see this, and suddenly his ears moved and he also looked up. At this time, Jizun saw that the two were acting abnormally, and just then he realized that something was wrong, and he also looked up.

As far as the eye could see, a group of white clouds were gradually approaching. When it was close to the sky above their heads, everyone could see clearly that there were two handsome young men standing in it, and the armor on their bodies emitted a dazzling golden light in the sunlight.

Just as the cloud was less than a hundred feet away from them, the two young men turned over and jumped down, landing steadily with the sound of the wind. "The boy in front of the seat of Qingmiao Yuanjun is here to ward off evil spirits and suppress evil. I am carrying a letter from Yuanjun, and I am handing it over to Agongcuo, the ruler of Jiadi."

As they talked, their eyes passed over Agongcuo's face, which was as charming and beautiful as the morning glow reflecting the lotus, and they subconsciously lowered their gaze. After all, Pixie was older and more stable, so he concentrated a little and took out Wen Jiao's letter, but he still couldn't look directly at Agongcuo's face, and he didn't know who to give the letter to, so he froze there for a while.

Agongcuo was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately realized the identities of the two boys and smiled: "So you are two fairy boys. I haven't seen you for five years. You are both more handsome and handsome than before."

"The king still remembers us?" Zhen'e was delighted when he heard this, and subconsciously looked over. He saw the girl in a dark blue dress, with a golden shirt exposed on the side, which contrasted with the large beeswax beads hanging from her long black hair, making her look extremely noble and charming.

Agongcuo's appearance was similar to her peerless mother. She was absolutely beautiful at first glance, and became even more radiant when you looked closely. Even though Zhen'e was used to seeing beautiful fairies in the fairy world, he couldn't help but feel amazed at this moment, and his face flushed.

Agongcuo took his dumbfounded look in her eyes, but she was not offended at all. She had been used to others' love for her appearance since she was a child. After she had a falling out with her father and her late mother, she did not mind taking advantage of others' obsession with her appearance to gain some benefits. She said softly, "How could I not remember? Five years ago, when the two immortal children left with Qingmiao Yuanjun, Agongcuo said, I will wait for you, and I will wait for many years."

As he spoke, he sighed, his brows furrowed with sorrow, "It's just that the two fairy children are no longer the same as before. I'm afraid that only Agongcuo remembers the joke from five years ago."

Zhen'e got anxious when he heard this. When he and Pixie were still ignorant little werewolves who were abandoned by their parents and followed Wen Jiao to practice with anger, they were captivated by the gorgeous beauty of the little princess Agongcuo at first sight. Since then, he has been obsessed with her and could not bear to see her show any sadness. He immediately said, "I haven't forgotten. My brother and I promised you that we would be loyal to you in the future. Brother may have forgotten, but I haven't!"

The evil spirit opened his mouth to argue: "I..."

"Is this the letter that our master wants you to deliver to His Majesty?" Ji Zun, who was standing by, saw that the two brothers had been here for a long time but had not done anything and were just talking nonsense. He could not bear to watch it and pointed at the letter in Bixie's hand as if nothing had happened.

Pixie woke up as if from a dream, and then he remembered the mission of the two brothers. He nodded shyly and whispered, "Senior Sister Zhicheng."

Very good, he still recognized people, it seems that his mind is not completely confused. Ji Zun suppressed his laughter and said calmly: "Then give me the letter."

As he said this, he took the letter from his hand and handed it to Agongcuo. As it was about Wen Jiao, Agongcuo stopped joking and took it seriously.
