Chapter 46 - Successfully Fooled Them?.

The Demon King's Cave Abode.

The Fox Demon King was conversing with her subordinates.

She had always been the most cautious and cunning.

After hearing the news brought by her subordinates earlier, and knowing that Leng Xiang's strength was not weak,

she had planned to wait for other demon kings to fight until both sides were wounded, then step in to reap the benefits.

Now, she was discussing with her subordinates what would happen after capturing Leng Xiang and Su Qing.

Just then, the scout she had sent out flew back in a hurry.

It even rolled twice on the ground upon landing, showing how panicked it was.

"Report, report, reporting, Great King... the Four Demon Kings of Tiger, Leopard, Jackal, and Wolf, are all dead!"

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, the Fox Demon King thought to herself that something was amiss.

She hastily asked for the details.

The scout honestly recounted what it had seen earlier...

After listening, an unpleasant expression appeared on the Fox Demon King's fox-like face.

She asked, "Did those two women discover you?"

"Your subordinate doesn't know... but they probably didn't discover me."

Hearing this, the Fox Demon King felt a slight sense of relief.

She said, "Don't go out these days. Wait until those two are gone before going out again. If any other demon kings come looking for me, say that I am unwell and not seeing guests."

The Fox Demon King was exceptionally cautious.

After realizing they were not opponents she could handle, she immediately backed off.

She even planned to refuse if other demon kings came to ask her to join forces.

The news of the Four Demon Kings of Tiger, Leopard, Jackal, and Wolf being slain

quickly reached the ears of the other demon kings.

Some mocked the Four Demon Kings as useless.

Some, like the Fox Demon King, chose not to act again.

Others wanted to gather a few more to try.

But no matter how the other demon kings viewed the matter of the Four Demon Kings...

they no longer dared to act rashly at this moment.

If Leng Xiang could kill the Four Demon Kings, she could naturally kill them too.

They might not possess great wisdom,

but none of them were fools.

If they truly wanted to deal with them, they would need to plan carefully.

However, Su Qing didn't care what the Seventy-Two Cave Demon Kings would think after learning of the four demon kings' deaths.

After Leng Xiang's previous battle with the four demon kings,

she had roughly understood the overall strength of the Seventy-Two Cave Demon Kings...

and also knew that the Seventy-Two Cave Demon Kings governed themselves and were not united.

Naturally, there was no need to be overly afraid.

It was just that Su Qing was still a bit frustrated.

Because behind the small waterfall where Leng Xiang had previously slain the four demon kings, there was no Water Curtain Cave.

So, as soon as she flew in, she had a close encounter with the stone wall...

Her head was aching from the impact.

"My Lady, next time... let Leng Xiang go instead."

Leng Xiang felt quite distressed seeing Su Qing hit the wall.

She had originally wanted to help Su Qing scout the way.

But before she could speak, Su Qing had already rushed out...

Su Qing shook her head slightly and said, "Let you hit it? Let's not... You feel bad about me hitting it, but don't I feel bad about you hitting it?"

"......" Leng Xiang was speechless for a moment.

"Don't worry, a fall in the pit, a gain in your wit. I hit it this time, but I won't be so reckless next time."

Su Qing smiled slightly and reached out to pat Leng Xiang's shoulder.

She wasn't a reckless hothead.

Before, it was just a misjudgment, rushing in a bit too quickly.

How could she make the same mistake next time?

Leng Xiang nodded slightly and said no more.

But in her heart, she was thinking that she would scout the way next time.

As the two chatted, the Little Sparrows nearby also wanted to help.

Hearing this, Su Qing said, "You guys better not! I don't want to go downstream to fish you out."

Su Qing could already imagine the Little Sparrows floating on the water like furballs.

But thinking about it carefully, if they really fell into the water, they would probably sink to the bottom, wouldn't they?

After all, they were quite heavy. Read at Novels Haven (novelshaven.com)

The Little Sparrows, hearing this, were quite displeased, feeling that Su Qing greatly underestimated them.

Su Qing ignored the Little Sparrows' displeasure.

After poking these little furballs, she continued on her way.

Su Qing thought for a moment; aimlessly searching wasn't a solution.

So, she found a macaque to ask for directions.

The macaque, seeing Su Qing speak to it,

was stunned.

It seemed it hadn't expected Su Qing to actually speak to it.

Seeing this, Su Qing came up with some excuses and bluffed it for a bit.

Though the macaque possessed some intelligence, it wasn't high... how could it withstand Su Qing's bluffs?

In just a few words, she bluffed the macaque into being completely disoriented, making it believe Su Qing was a heavenly immortal.

It even directly bowed to Su Qing and called her 'Big Sister'!

Su Qing's mouth twitched slightly at this, feeling a bit speechless...

However, no matter what, her goal was achieved.

Anyway, she wouldn't be staying on Flower-Fruit Mountain for too long.

If it wanted to call her that, then let it! It was just one monkey calling her that anyway.

"It's a bit embarrassing to say, but I don't know which waterfalls are in this mountain."

"But Big Sister, don't worry, leave this matter to me. I'll call my monkey brothers, sisters, and cousins to help Big Sister search together, and we'll definitely find all the waterfalls in the mountain for Big Sister."

The macaque confidently patted its chest.

Then, without waiting for Su Qing to say anything more...

it immediately jumped onto a tree and left!

Su Qing: "......"

The Little Sparrows, seeing that the macaque had been bluffed by Su Qing into becoming her subordinate,

couldn't help but laugh at the monkey for being a bit foolish.

They thought the monkey wasn't as smart as them.

They believed it would be better to entrust the task to them than to have Su Qing ask the macaque for help.

However, while they laughed at others, they forgot that they themselves had also been bluffed by Su Qing.

Su Qing didn't tell the Little Sparrows how foolish they had been in the past.

She just taught them not to look down on others.

The Little Sparrows were obedient; when told not to laugh, they stopped laughing. Read at Novels Haven (novelshaven.com)

They just stood on Su Qing's body, bragging about how amazing they were.

Su Qing listened, smiling helplessly.

She could only praise them, saying they were indeed smarter than that macaque.

Having received praise, the Little Sparrows were satisfied and flew around happily.

They even said they would help Su Qing find the waterfall.

However, Su Qing didn't let them run wild.

To prevent them from running into any trouble...

While she and Leng Xiang certainly didn't fear the Seventy-Two Cave Demon Kings, the Little Sparrows couldn't defeat them.

These lazy little things had never cultivated seriously.

Naturally, she couldn't let these lazy little things run around on their own again.

Although the macaques were helping, Su Qing didn't just stand idly by and wait.

Instead, she decided to wander around, even if it was just to enjoy the scenery and taste some fruits.

Besides, what if fate intervened, and she just happened to stumble upon it while wandering?

Su Qing hadn't walked for long.

Suddenly, she heard monkey calls from above her head.

She looked up.

It was the macaque from earlier, bringing a whole troop of monkeys.

The troop consisted of old and young, males and females... clearly, he had truly brought his entire family and kin.

The monkey troop hung from the trees, curiously observing Su Qing and Leng Xiang.

"Big Sister, we found it, we found it."

The macaque said:

"We found a really big waterfall on the other side of the mountain! That waterfall is very beautiful! It must be the waterfall Big Sister is looking for!"

Su Qing nodded slightly and asked the macaque to lead her to see it.

Hearing this, the macaque immediately climbed onto a tree and, along with the monkey troop, led the way.

Soon, Su Qing followed the macaque to a waterfall and spring.

This waterfall was indeed as the macaque had described, exceptionally beautiful and magnificent.

"Big Sister, is this the waterfall you're looking for?" the macaque asked, landing beside Su Qing.

Su Qing shook her head slightly and said, "I don't know either. I'll only know after I go inside and take a look."

With that, Su Qing jumped into the waterfall.
