Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

For those monsters who didn't wish to join Huaguo Mountain, stealing various treasures from Huaguo Mountain was the best choice.

Although this was almost impossible, there were always monsters who believed their skills were exceptional, capable of evading capture by Huaguo Mountain, only to end up caught and sent to the mines.

"Have you heard? The Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, Sun Wukong, who was ranked among the immortals and titled the Eastern Leisurely Spirit King by Heaven, has planted a peach tree in Shuilian Cave that bears fruit which could rival the results of a hundred lifetimes of ascetic cultivation by the gods."

Atop a mountain in Ao Lai, a donkey demon, who made a living by ambushing and robbing, said to a likewise bandit horse demon, "A hundred lifetimes of gods' ascetic cultivation, and if we eat it, perhaps we could live forever!"

The horse demon, chewing on some grass, said, "What does it have to do with us? We can't eat it anyway."

The Monkey King had vast divine skills, and one somersault could cover one hundred and eight thousand miles. Even if they were lucky enough to eat that peach, what then?

With one somersault, he could catch up to them and then kill them with a single strike of his staff.

Better to remain a bandit.

Occasionally robbing passing merchants on the mountain, as long as they did not harm them, they could live a flavorsome and satisfactory life. Isn't that delightful?

The donkey demon hummed a few times and laughed, "There's a saying, 'Humans vie for a breath while Buddha receives a stick of incense.' We naturally should also be ambitious. Only with eternal life can we have endless time to cultivate, enhance our mana, and study martial arts and divine skills to become a great Demon King."

The horse demon thought for a moment and found the donkey demon's words reasonable, so he asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Huaguo Mountain was not easy to provoke.

Once you enter Huaguo Mountain, you have to abide by the rules, otherwise, you'll be captured and sent to the mines.

The horse demon had never been captured, but he had heard from a few demons who returned from re-education through labor. Most of those taken to mine never returned...

This made these small, loose demons residing in Ao Lai but who had never visited Huaguo Mountain dread Huaguo Mountain like tigers.

That was the hell of the little demons!

Even, some demons would escort merchants returning from Huaguo Mountain on part of their journey while robbing them, behaving very humbly.

However, the horse demon felt he still had some courage because he just robbed some items from the merchants and ran, moreover covering his face; those merchants couldn't see him clearly at all.

This was what he was most proud of.

How could human legs ever outrun a horse?

"It's not that I have a solution..."

The donkey demon picked up some fresh tender grass from the table, stuffing it into his long donkey mouth, two yellow large front teeth showing, seemingly quite satisfied with the tender grass.

"Don't just eat my grass!"

The horse demon was somewhat displeased, "This is the fresh grass I collected from the riverbank at the Ao Lai country's horse farm, it took me a great effort... Come on, spit it out, what's the plan?"

"Don't be so stingy." The donkey demon hummed twice, "It's the snake demon from Azure Dragon Mountain, opposite our Two Camel Mountain. The Heavenly Snake King, she can turn invisible, said she could sneak into Huaguo Mountain and steal the peaches."

"Two months ago, she contacted me, saying she wanted to cooperate with us for eternal life."

The horse demon was somewhat tempted but also puzzled, "Since she can turn invisible, why doesn't she go by herself? Why involve us?"

With such a good opportunity, one would usually hog it all, right?

But her involving them meant there were definitely risks involved, needing both of their assistance to succeed.

Sure enough, he, Ma Da, was destined to be a great Demon King of the future!

Putting aside the horse demon's self-satisfaction, the donkey demon began to ponder and said, "Maybe she needs our help in getting away, after all, she's a rock snake that can't swim, and she's afraid of water. Maybe with the two of us who can swim, we could leave faster."

As for whether that Heavenly Snake would betray them...

The donkey demon thought about it and decided probably not.

They were all native spirits from Ao Lai, inherently good-natured.

Upon hearing about the situation at Huaguo Mountain, they even gave up eating humans, and at most committed robberies and theft, even escorting merchants from Huaguo Mountain part of the way, just to ensure they could have peaceful days.

All of them were the same kind of demons; how could they betray each other?

He was probably overthinking it.

The horse demon grabbed a handful of river grass and threw it into his mouth, asking, "Did she say when she would contact you?"

The donkey demon was startled, scratched his head, and said, "It should be soon, since it's already been over two months, but I'll wait for her message for the exact time."

"Okay."

The horse demon nodded, grabbed another handful of grass, his pace quickening because if he didn't hurry, this fresh grass would all be eaten by this silly donkey.

He had reason to suspect that this silly donkey from Big Head Peak of Two Camel Mountain had come just to mooch a meal of grass from him.

After all, it had been twelve days since they last had business.

Although they could eat grass, their restless hearts were itching; if no merchants passed by, they would really have to survive like before their transformations, eating weeds and nibbling on leaves in the fields and forests.

"Now!"

Bang!

The dilapidated door was kicked open, a humanoid with a snake's tail demon leaned in the doorway, staring at the two dumbfounded horse and donkey demons.

"Your subordinate?" asked the horse demon.

"It's not yours? I thought it was," the donkey demon shook his head, sending the grass in his mouth flying, and immediately pulled out a steel knife from under the table, pointing it at the snake demon.

The horse demon reacted as well, shouting, "Who are you?"

Twisting her enchanting body, the snake demon chuckled, "I am the Heavenly Snake King from Azure Dragon Mountain. Don't you recognize me anymore? Is it because I've become too pretty? Oh ho ho!" The full series lives on My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|L0EMPYR).

Horse demon: "..."

Donkey demon: "..."

Is this really the snake demon from Azure Dragon Mountain?

Shouldn't it have a head that looks part human, part snake? Why has it turned into a creature with a woman's upper body and a snake tail?

But I must say, it looks quite attractive.

"How did you become like this?" the horse demon was the first to speak.

"Hehe, of course, it's because I've learned the new Transformation Art from Huaguo Mountain," hissed the Heavenly Snake King.

"Huaguo Mountain?!" X2

The horse demon and donkey demon exchanged glances, then raised their knives towards the Heavenly Snake King.

Coming from Huaguo Mountain, the snake demon must have betrayed us!

However, the Heavenly Snake King's tail coiled around the arms of the two demons and pressed them against the uneven floor, laughing, "How could you two grass-eaters possibly defeat me?"

In pain, the horse demon yelled, "Someone! Help!"

The Heavenly Snake fiddled with her newly transformed ears and said, "Human ears are really not something I'm used to, they are just too noisy. You two might as well stop yelling, look outside."

The two demons looked up, beyond the door frame.

The courtyard was a mess, without a single human figure in sight.

"Those humans, even though we made them our robbers, are unreliable, they just ran off!" cursed the horse demon, "I knew I should have kicked them to death with my hind legs back then."

"Heavenly Snake King, didn't we agree? We were supposed to go to Huaguo Mountain together to steal the immortal peaches, how could you go back on your word?" the donkey demon tried to appeal to their shared identity, "We're all demons, we shouldn't be fighting among ourselves."

"You make a good point, but Huaguo Mountain offered too much," the Heavenly Snake King caressed her dark green hair and said righteously, "You've been sitting here, unaware that there are countless loose cultivators and demons scheming to steal the peaches from Huaguo Mountain. And those loose cultivators and demons are foolish, greedy, and foolishly walking right into traps..."

The donkey demon's eyes widened, tremblingly he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Hehe."

The Heavenly Snake sneered, "Stupid donkey is just a stupid donkey, don't you understand? It means that Huaguo Mountain has set a trap to purge us lawless demons and then subdue us."

"I am now a spirit demon of Huaguo Mountain, in charge of capturing you destabilizing elements from Ao Lai and sending you to work in the mines at Huaguo Mountain."

Mining!

"No! I don't want to go mining!"

"You go alive, you return dead!"

As the two demons struggled, the Heavenly Snake increased the pressure, laughing, "Don't be so tense, mining isn't so bad. It's better than eating grass here, you get three full meals a day, and you won't work to death."

However, to the ears of the two demons, these words meant—

[Mine until you die!]

[That's the only value you two have!]

Thus, the two demons struggled even more fiercely, but the Heavenly Snake King's cultivation was higher than either of the demons, so they couldn't stir up any real trouble.

"Is it done?"

At that moment, a handsome young man walked in from outside the courtyard, clad in a snug, loose-fitting martial robe, with sharp brows and bright eyes, staring at the horse demon and donkey demon subdued by the Heavenly Snake, and frowned, "For such wicked demons, just kill them, there's no need to bother taking them to Huaguo Mountain to build roads and mine."

"Hai Feng, you still hold such harsh views against the demon kind."

The Heavenly Snake frowned slightly, she had been to Huaguo Mountain in the past two months, undergone many things, and finally met and teamed up with Hai Feng to catch unlawful demons in Ao Lai.

She partnered with Hai Feng because she liked his style, though he was indifferent to non-human demons, his martial skills were exceptional.

And Hai Feng?

He was completing the exam for his chosen martial arts course.

The exam content varied, including finding herbs, mining, capturing law-breakers, and enduring half an hour under a teacher from the academy among other things.

He chose to capture unlawful demons in Ao Lai.

This was also because the affair with Huaguo Mountain's earthly peaches had spread, attracting a large number of foreign demons anew.

For this reason, Huaguo Mountain organized various demon-catching operations.

Certain courses at Three Lives Academy featured demon-catching as exam content.

"In my childhood, my parents were killed by a wolf demon, so I have no fondness for demons," said Hai Feng coldly, surprised at himself for sharing this with the Heavenly Snake.

"Then you should go after the wolf demon, don't lump all kinds of demons together, there are good and bad demons," the Heavenly Snake pouted like a little girl, somewhat displeased.

"I'm used to it, I can't change it in this lifetime," Hai Feng said indifferently, "Since we've caught them, let's head back to Huaguo Mountain. This can serve as your official pledge of allegiance."
