Chapter 135 A Mind's Imagination is Truly Amazing
The scorpion demon stayed in the cave to monitor Bai Suzhen. Seeing that Bai Suzhen sat cross-legged and cultivated without moving for a long time, the demon chuckled in boredom.
Just then, a rustling sound came from the doorway. The scorpion demon looked up and saw that the snake demon had returned.
"Madam, you're back so quickly!"
As the scorpion demon looked puzzled, the snake demon's expression turned serious, and she gave the secret signal: "May all your wishes come true!"
The scorpion demon was taken aback, then laughed heartily, "All demons are united! Madam, you're too cautious. Do you think I'd be impersonated by them?"
The snake spirit smiled and said, "Better safe than sorry. After all, Sixth Brother can transform into other people at will, so we have to be careful."
As far as I know, there was a monkey that transformed into someone else's husband to deceive a married woman.
The scorpion demon immediately became interested: "Oh, is that so? What did that monkey do to that married woman later?"
The snake spirit said with a playful expression, "What else could we do? Naturally, we tricked that married woman out of her magic weapon."
"this one?"
The scorpion demon looked disappointed, then, noticing the snake demon's unfriendly gaze, quickly said, "Oh dear, I thought the monkey had swindled her out of her money! By the way, madam, why are you back so soon?"
The snake spirit shook her head slightly: "Don't mention it. I went to the old man's house but found no one there. They've long since disappeared."
The scorpion demon said, "In that case, let's capture Bai Suzhen first."
The snake spirit stopped her, saying, "Not for now. We're keeping an eye on Bai Suzhen; that gives us a chance to learn about their plans. If we capture her, we'll know nothing about their future schemes."
The scorpion demon agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "Madam is indeed wise. Let's continue to monitor her then."
As he spoke, he stared at the crystal stone with wide, narrowed eyes.
The snake spirit walked up behind him quite naturally and began to examine him, seemingly trying to figure out which part of his body was the weakest.
This snake spirit was actually Jiang Feng in disguise. This morning, he transformed into a flea and hid in Bai Suzhen's hair, then followed Bai Suzhen to the Snake and Scorpion Cave.
Seeing the snake spirit leave, he immediately realized his chance had come and transformed into the snake spirit's appearance.
After staring at the scorpion demon for a long time, he discovered that the scorpion demon was covered in a hard shell and wore armor. The only way to break through its defenses was with that sharp knife.
Even if Jiang Feng could break through the scorpion demon's defenses, he wasn't confident he could kill it with a single stab. If his sneak attack failed and instead angered the demon, he would likely be in grave danger.
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Feng went outside to ask Xiao Yao for a pot of wine, added some water from the Zimu River to it, and walked back with a smile, dragging the wine pot.
"Your Majesty, it's getting a bit boring just watching her like this. Let's drink some wine while keeping an eye on her."
He put down the tray and poured a full cup of wine for the scorpion demon.
Without a second thought, the scorpion demon picked up the wine cup and downed it in one gulp. Her eyes lit up as she exclaimed, "This wine is sweeter than the ones we drank before! From now on, I'll have you get this kind of wine!"
Jiang Feng smiled and nodded: "I will give the order."
The scorpion demon grabbed the wine jug, gulped down two mouthfuls, put it down, wiped his mouth, and said, "Madam, you should drink too!"
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "We haven't caught the last two Calabash Brothers yet. I'm afraid drinking will cause trouble. Your Majesty, you can drink it yourself."
The scorpion demon grunted in agreement, and soon finished the entire pot of wine.
Just as she was about to ask Jiang Feng to fetch another pot, she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach and said, "Madam, I have a bit of an upset stomach. Could you take over for me for a while? I'll be right back." With that, she went out to relieve herself.
Jiang Feng laughed and said, "Your Majesty must have eaten something bad. Lie down and I'll take a look at you."
"Alright, then I'll trouble you, Madam. It's really strange, I've never had an upset stomach in all these years, how come I have one as soon as the seal is broken?"
The scorpion demon clutched his stomach and lay down on the stone bed. Jiang Feng stepped forward, looking very professional, and examined his stomach: "There's no gurgling sound, it doesn't seem like he ate something bad."
"Your Majesty, open your mouth and stick out your tongue so I can see it."
The scorpion demon stuck out its black tongue as instructed. Jiang Feng frowned in disgust and said, "Your Majesty, it seems like there's a worm in your stomach. Close your eyes, and I'll help you get it out."
The scorpion demon mumbled incoherently, "What kind of insect is so powerful?"
Jiang Feng made up a story off the top of his head: "It looks like a scorpion worm. It's a kind of parasitic worm that lives inside scorpions. If we don't get it out, Your Majesty, it will suck your blood every day until it drains you dry."
The scorpion demon's body shuddered: "How could such a vicious Gu worm exist in the world!"
Jiang Feng took out the Vajra Pestle and said, "Your Majesty, don't move. It will hurt a little when we remove the insects later. Just bear with it—"
Without waiting for the scorpion demon's response, he thrust the pestle into the demon's mouth, piercing through the back of the demon's head and pinning it to the stone bed!
"Waaah" 6
The scorpion demon let out a miserable scream, its mouth filled with the demon-subduing pestle, making a strange sound.
Then he opened his eyes, bloodshot, and looked at the snake demon's face before him, mumbling incoherently, "It hurts—it hurts so much—"
""
Taking advantage of his inability to move, Jiang Feng cast the Earth Treasury Exorcism Curse to seal him, and comforted him with a look of pity, "I know it hurts, Your Majesty, just bear with it a little longer, this life will be over soon."
Scorpion Demon: "???"
Shouldn't you just bear it a little longer and the pain will subside? Madam, what nonsense are you talking about!
Amidst the scorpion demon's angry and bewildered gaze, Jiang Feng pulled out a sharp knife and inserted it along the seams of its hard shell.
Having experience dissecting scorpion demons, he proceeded with ease, severing the demon's head with a single cut, and then dismembering its tail and chest.
"Madam, you actually want to kill me?!"
The scorpion demon finally realized something was wrong, and her sealed soul roared, "I finally understand! So you're that married woman who was tricked by the monkey! Now you're bewitched by him and want to kill me to go find him, aren't you?"
Jiang Feng paused slightly, his hand holding the knife trembling, and said with a look of shock, "The imagination that comes from using the Vajra Pestle is truly boundless; even I couldn't come up with such an outrageous story!"
After saying that, Jiang Feng returned to his original form. In the scorpion demon's dazed eyes, he used the Hell-Breaking Spell to open the gates of hell and send it to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
At this moment, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was lying next to Di Ting's head, eavesdropping on the gossip of other gods, when suddenly a scorpion demon's soul appeared before him, which immediately startled him so much that he screamed and jumped up.
"what!"
With an instinctive wave of his hand, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva slapped the scorpion demon's soul to the ground.
Upon realizing that the person before him was a scorpion demon, not a deity who had come to settle scores after discovering his eavesdropping, he breathed a slight sigh of relief. Then, after calculating with his fingers, he said with utter helplessness, "You throw all sorts of things here. Do you think this place is a junkyard?"
Having said that, he unleashed a golden karmic fire in a huff, instantly devouring the scorpion demon's soul.
