Chapter 131: Heading Towards The Lightning Pool

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

"Ah?" Xu Que was astonished. "What's the matter? Didn't we say to set off tomorrow morning instead?"

"That was the initial plan but that won't do any longer." Su Ling'er shook her head and pointed at the pills in Xu Que's hands and continued, "These pills will bring disaster and death onto our tribe. We have to set off right now!"

"What's the matter?" Xu Que frowned.

"There are two reason. The first is that there's a traitor within our tribe, although I can't be sure who it is yet. But once the traitor and the enemies knew of the fact that we have the Lightning Evasion Pill with us, the entire demonic human race will come down upon our tribe and kill us. Even the demonic beasts might turn against us."

When Su Ling'er spoke out, she paused for a second and looked at Xu Que apologetically, "The second reason is that the old granny of our race will imprison you once she hears the news of you being able to refine such a pill. At first, I wanted to invite you to join our tribe. But now… if you stay, I'm afraid you might never be able to leave."

"You don't have to worry about this. Your old granny would never be able to restrain me against my will!" Xu Que replied plainly.

As for the first reason given by Su Ling'er, he was indeed worried.

The Lightning Evasion Pill wasn't a huge deal to the human race, since it didn't have much use. After all, human cultivators wouldn't have a difficult time with their Tribulations. At least, that was the case from previous stories. Hence, the Lightning Evasion Pill wasn't considered to be very valuable to humans and wasn't worth learning. Hence, the art to refining such a pill was eventually lost.

However, to other races like demonic beasts or demonic humans, this pill was extremely precious and valuable. A hundred Vitality Pills wouldn't even be enough to trade for a single Lightning Evasion Pill. What's more, now that Xu Que had refined ten in one shot, should the demonic beasts hear about this news, they would most certainly attempt to capture him.

Xu Que was the least afraid of confrontation or being involved in battles. He had many tricks up his sleeves to defend himself. But if he were to run now, he would implicate the entire Sky Demon Tribe. That was against his morals to implicate innocent parties.

Hence it was true that these Lightning Evasion Pills really couldn't remain within the Sky Demon Tribe. For having such valuable treasures would certainly invite trouble and death!

"Let's not hesitate anymore. Let's set off now and take advantage of the fact that they are still in the dark and make our way towards the Lightning Pool!" Su Ling'er seemed extremely anxious.

Xu Que nodded his head, "Eh, I shall go with you. But, would we be safe once we get to the Lightning Pool?"

"Of course we would be safe." Su Ling'er was shocked and looked suspiciously at Xu Que and lowered her voice, "Anyone who belongs to our race knows this. Apart from the day of the Thunder Tribulations, nobody would be able to use spells within the pool at any point in time. If not, the pool would attack the user! The Lightning Pool is the most sacred ground of our entire race. How can you not know that?"

"Ah-ha! I already said earlier that I was raised outside of our race's territories since I was a kid! Alright, stop asking, let's hurry up." Xu Que yawned before urging Su Ling'er to set off.

There were still some doubts within Su Ling'er's heart. However, she still couldn't see past Xu Que's disguise puppet and the situation was indeed urgent. Hence, she casted all doubts out of her mind and took Xu Que deeper into the forests.

Since the Lightning Pool was very far away from the Sky Demon Tribe's domains, they didn't travel by walking. Su Ling'er immediately activated the teleportation device belonging to her tribe.

It's just that the teleportation device didn't send that straight to the pool. They only managed to travel half the distance, leaving the other half to be walked by the pair of them.

This was the first time Xu Que had used such a teleportation device and was extremely curious and awed by it.

The entire teleportation device was a grey colored enchanted plate on the ground. It somewhat resembled an item used in rituals with many inscriptions written across the entire boulder.

Xu Que had seen such an item for sale within the system store as well. However, it was extremely costly and Xu Que couldn't afford it.

"Stand firm." Su Ling'er reminded him before walking straight towards the plate. She then retrieved a spirit stone from her storage ring and slapped the stone.

Boom!

Instantly, the teleportation device started to rumble and tremble. All the inscriptions on the plate emitted a blinding light before disappearing and materializing in the air before them. As the air around them started moving rapidly, increasing in speed by the second.

At the next moment, Xu Que could feel a strong force surrounding himself as everything in his vision turned blurry. It felt like he was sitting on a roller coaster where everything moving past him was a blur.

Before long, everything halted around him.

When Xu Que regained his sense of direction and vision, he realized that he was standing within a desolated mountain plains.

However, he was still standing on the same teleportation device as before.

"Now, we have to rely on how fast our legs can take us!" Su Ling'er walked up to Xu Que and spoke pensively.

Xu Que nodded his head, his eyes were still focused on the teleportation device beneath his feet.

Back when he was within the Tower of souls, he had used the One Star Amulet Maker. Hence, he somewhat understood the enchanted inscriptions scattered all across the teleportation device.

After experiencing the wonders of such an item, Xu Que was intrigued. If only he could study a little more on these enchanted inscriptions and how they worked, he would probably increase his Amulet Maker to Two Star level. Then, he could even create a teleportation device which would enable him to arrive at a precise location!

"What's the matter?" Su Ling'er whispered softly.

Xu Que regained his senses and shook his head, "It's nothing. I was just thinking, since we're both single men and women travelling together, it might not be very appropriate."

Su Ling'er started to blush before rolling her eyes, "Please stop all this nonsense talk. Let's make our way towards the Lightning Pool now. Regardless of how fast we travel, it would take at least a night. I'm afraid we're still in danger until we reach."

"Don't worry. With me around, nobody can hurt you. Besides, you still owe me two requests. You can lick twice." Xu Que laughed out cheekily.

"What lick twice?" Su Ling'er asked warily.

"It's nothing, it's nothing. I'll tell you once we cross the Tribulations." Xu Que smiled and replied mysteriously. "Right, I would like to participate in the Thunder Tribulations Worship on the second day as well."

"You?" Su Ling'er reeled in shock before laughing, "You're only of the Golden Core Stage and the Tribulations you would undergo would only be the 49 Tribulations."

"So what? Does it mean that 49 Tribulations candidates cannot participate in the Thunder Tribulations Worship?"

"You can. It's just that there's no need. According to what I know, there are 8 tribes who will be competing in this Thunder Tribulations Worship. All of them are at the Full Foundation of the Original Infant Stage. Everyone would be dealing with the 59 Tribulations. If you do participate, everyone will start mocking and laughing you!"

"Haha, mock me? That's fine. Let them laugh." Xu Que squinted his eyes and smiled.

It was such a good opportunity to act tough. Why on earth wouldn't I go?

Besides, Xu Que was extremely confident in succeeding in his own 49 Tribulations. It was precisely because he was so confident to the point of complacency that the system even warned him and reminded him to prepare himself.

"I really couldn't tell that you were so mild mannered and calm to allow others to mock you!" Su Ling'er whispered in surprise.

Indeed, she had always thought that Xu Que was an extremely stubborn and prideful person, who wouldn't be able to swallow insults and taunts.

"You're overpraising me, you're over complimenting me!" Xu Que clasped his hands in a salute and pretended to be modest.

Su Ling'er laughed plainly before replying, "Since you're not afraid of taunts and mockeries, it would be good for you to participate in this Thunder Tribulations Worship as well. It would help to transform you."

"Oh, what do you mean?" Xu Que asked curiously.

"Don't you know? During the Tribulations, the thunders and lightnings which were summoned would be extremely powerful. For example, if I were to activate my own Tribulations right here, I might be faced with at most four waves of lightning assaults. However, if I activated the Tribulations within the Lightning Pool, I would face six waves of lightnings. Hence, you can use that increased Tribulation power to forge and strengthen yourself. There would be many advantages of tempering your body and becoming stronger. After all, such an event only happens once in a hundred years!" Su Ling'er spoke out expectantly.

When Xu Que heard this, he nearly threw out blood.

He was already facing a difficult Tribulation ahead as warned by the system. If he were to take on the additional assaults and increased difficulty in the Lightning Pool…

Fuck! Won't I be electrocuted to death by the lightning and be roasted by it?

Chapter 132: Shall I Cook Some Noodles For You?

With Su Ling'er leading the way, Xu Que and her started making their way towards the Lightning Pool in haste.

As for Xu Que, who had a fit body along with immense core strength, travelling an entire night was rather effortless for him.

However, Su Ling'er couldn't endure the fatigue which overcomes her body with each passing step.

After consecutively using spells and core strength to increase her physical endurance, Su Ling'er had started to walk slower and slower.

Xu Que had no choice but to stop and speak out, "Let's take a rest here."

"Alright." Su Ling'er nodded her head gently and stopped walking as well. She was panting vigorously. It was clear that her core strength had been diminished considerably after channelling it all into her body to sustain the travel.

Xu Que couldn't help but laugh out, "Why don't you sit down and recuperate your core strength? What should I do with my two requests if you were to die of exhaustion?"

Su Ling'er rolled her eyes in spite of her exhaustion as they looked for a clean place to sit down. She then crossed her legs and started recuperating her energy.

Xu Que leaned against a tree and shut his eyelids as he too took a rest.

At this point, it was deep into the night and the stars lined the sky as they flickered in the dark. The faint moonlight shone down upon them and illuminated a part of Xu Que's body. This caused the yellow hairs on his body to glow in a strange way and was somewhat captivating.

Su Ling'er's vision fell repeatedly onto Xu Que's body as her heart stirred, making her feel comfortable, relaxed and secured.

She was aware that she had someone with her and this person would protect her while she rested, ensuring that no harm shall befall her.

"Sun Wu Kong, what are your two requests going to be?" Maybe it was because everything around was so still and silent, that Su Ling'er broke the silence with her whispers. She was still recuperating her core strength as she asked.

Xu Que's lips curled into a devious smile as he blinked several times, "It's nothing actually. Just have to lick twice."

"What do you mean by that?" Su Ling'er was extremely suspicious.

"That question... Has a very complex and mysterious answer. I shall tell next time. In fact, I shall only tell you when the days have passed and our relationship becomes stronger." Xu Que waved his hands and replied.

Su Ling'er was extremely intrigued as she asked, "What secret is this that you have to be so mysterious? And that you have to wait for our relationship to become stronger. How long would that be?"

"Sigh… Maybe several occasions? Not too long I guess."

"Eh? Isn't time measured in days or nights? Why would it be measured in occasions?'

"Hai… Let's change the topic. I'm getting embarrassed talking about this."

"Then you have to tell me. Why do you keep bringing up the matter of me licking something? Could it be the chocolate which I licked on the pill earlier today?" Su Ling'er was hooked onto the topic and wouldn't let go until she had an answer. She started interrogating him.

Xu Que touched the point of his nose and laughed out, "Ai, this conversation is getting very complicated."

"If you tell me, it will not be complicated anymore."

"Ai, check out how many stars there are tonight!"

"Don't change the topic. Tell me now!"

"Ai, look at how round and gorgeous the moon is tonight!"

"Quickly tell me!"

"Ai, would you like to eat what's below my waist?"

(T/N : The way Xu Que said it could also mean 'Ai, would you like me to cook noodles for you?' It was a cheeky play on words.)

"You even brought noodles here?"

"Nope, I didn't!" Xu Que blinked his eyes and looked at her.

"Then why did you say you would cook noodles for me?"

"It's nothing!"

"That's not right. Why are you smiling like that?"

"You're seeing things. I'm not smiling. Hahahah! I'm really not smiling."

"..." Su Ling'er could no longer concentrate on regaining her core strength. She was completely immersed in digging the truth out of Xu Que and wouldn't be able to concentrate on anything else until she got an answer.

She frowned as she remained seated cross legged on the ground. She held her face with a hand and looked at Xu Que, deep in thought.

Xu Que stopped laughing and started to fear that she might understand his cheeky phrase. He then put on a serious expression and spoke out, "Alright now, let's stop chatting. Get back to your recovery. We have to be on our way soon. Time is running short."

When Su Ling'er heard this, she realized that he was right. Their priority right now was to rush to the Lightning Pool as soon as possible. Hence, she didn't think much about it and returned her attention towards recuperating her core strength.

However, those words spoken by Xu Que were still reverberating within her mind, causing her no small amount of uneasiness.

"Why did he mention noodles for no reason? And he kept asking me to lick something... Not right, he said noodles, or did he mean down below… Lick…. Ah! That asshole!" Su Ling'er seemed to have understood what he meant, as her face blushed a deep scarlet red. Her breathing was ragged as she glared at Xu Que.

Although she wasn't of the human race, her ancestors were humans too. Besides, there were many books and manuals on the human race. Some of which included the human anatomy too!

Su Ling'er had lived for many years and it was impossible that she had never seen it before. At this point, she finally understood what Xu Que had meant and understood his words between the lines. He still made it sound so secretive. This was extremely humiliating to her!

"Sun Wu Kong!" Su Ling'er shouted across, her breathing was still ragged.

"Shit, what's the matter?" Xu Que froze.

"You… You're shameless!" Su Ling'er shouted out as she turned her head away from him, ignoring him.

Xu Que was startled, not understanding what was happening. Fuck me, did she finally understand what I meant earlier?

At that point, Xu Que spoke in a dignified voice, "Miss Ling'er, please explain to me how I am shameless?"

"You know the reason yourself." Su Ling'er replied.

"I don't know the reason. Could it be because I didn't cook noodles for you?"

"You… You're still speaking such words!" Su Ling'er was infuriated.

Xu Que didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

Damn it. She really understood what I said.

It's just that Xu Que was too thick skinned and shameless to admit to such uncouth behaviour.

Hence, he started pretending, "It's just a bowl of noodles, what's the big deal? Why do you have to be so angry? Fine. I shall cook it for you now. Will that do?"

As he finished speaking, he purchased two boxes of noodles from the system store and started boiling water in a pot before pouring the noodles in.

Su Ling'er wanted to berate Xu Que and yet when she turned her head, she saw him cooking two bowls of noodles and froze in shock.

Xu Que then brought the bowls of noodles before her and asked, "Here. The noodles are cooked. Which flavor would you want to eat? Pickled vegetables or beef cubes?"

"..." Su Ling'er was stumped. Could it really be… that I was overthinking and misunderstood him? Thankfully, I didn't actually said anything that would compromise my virtues. Thankfully, he didn't realize what I meant too!

"I… I'm fine with either!" Su Ling'er took a bowl of noodles from him before turning away and then consumed it.

Hence, this naive and trusting Nine Tails Fox was conned by Xu Que!

The both of them ate to their heart's content before setting off once again. Su Ling'er was extremely embarrassed of herself that she could think of something like that and misunderstand Xu Que. That's why, she didn't raise the matter any longer. Xu Que was elated as well. For he had earned several act tough points several moments ago.

When they finally arrived at the entrance of the Lightning Pool, the day was bright and clear. The sky were lined with clouds as white as a fish's belly, and streaks of red emanated from the rising sun.

There were many defensive spells erected at the entrance of the Lightning Pool. A formless barrier could faintly be seen as well. From time to time, streaks of electricity would surge across the invisible barrier, causing fear in the hearts of those not permitted to enter.

At the same time, there were several Original Infant Stage cultivators standing around, guarding the door as if they were waiting for people to show up.

"Once we enter, we would be in the vicinity of the Lightning Pools and mustn't use any magical skills. Please do not speak nonsense in there as well and ignore everyone. We shall find a place to consume the Lightning Evasion Pill and cultivate 'till tomorrow. Then we can begin to cross the Tribulations!" Su Ling'er spoke gravely and reminded Xu Que in a soft voice.

"Alright, but I have a question!" Xu Que glanced across at the protective spells at the entrance. "Those protective spells are used to prevent other races from entering the Lightning Pool, right?"

"That's right. Anyone who's not of the demonic humans race cannot enter. Should they force their way in, they would incur the wrath of the Lightning Pools. Hence, after so many years, even with the decline of our entire race, no other race could enter this sacred area!" Su Ling'er replied.

"..."

Xu Que's lips twitched. Fuck me good. Is the Disguise Puppet good enough to trick the spells?

Chapter 133: I Live To Curse And Insult!

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

The main protective spell at the entrance of the Lightning Pool caused Xu Que to hesitate in fear.

He didn't want to be recognized as an infiltrator or an imposter just before he had his fun in the Thunder Tribulations Worship. Should that happen, all his chances of acting tough would be gone.

The most important thing was to temper and strengthen his body. After hearing this fact from Su Ling'er he was extremely interested.

Although Xu Que had already mustered many spells, he had never learnt any to strengthen his own physical body. The only time he had improved his physical strength was after he consumed the pills in the treasure cove of Celestial Sect and almost died from eating too many pills. When the system activated the function to restore his health, his body became slightly stronger as well.

And at this point, he was already at the Full Foundation of the Golden Core Stage. Once he finished his Tribulations, he would straight away ascend to the Original Infant Stage. He should really start training his physical strength at this moment.

Hence, he really wanted to participate in this Thunder Tribulations Worship.

"System, can I successfully cross through the protective spells while in this Disguise Puppet form?" Xu Que asked the system.

"Ding! After careful calculations, the system has discovered that if the spell extends throughout the entire area. Should the host step into the protective spell towards the Lightning Pools, he will definitely be discovered." The system replied.

Xu Que's heart turned cold. The protective spell extended throughout the entire Lightning Pool area?

That's too damn bloody overpowered! So the legends were true, that the protective spell covers all 360 degrees perimeter of the entire area, leaving 0 blind spots? Thankfully he asked the system in advance. If he were to just step in, he would probably be killed by the protective spells for being a trespasser.

"What's wrong? Why are you giving such a strange expression?" Su Ling'er asked warily.

Xu Que gave a bitter look as he looked cautiously at the protective spells ahead of him, right at the entrance. He then moaned out, "SHIITake mushrooms, damned this!"

"Speak english." Su Ling'er replied him.

"I meant, this is horrible, I feel like crying!"

"Why is that? Su Ling'er was astonished.

"Wait a second."

Xu Que shook his head before calling the system out, "System, do you have any other methods for me to enter?"

"The system suggests you seal off your cultivation powers. This way, you can still use the Disguise Puppet to cross through the protective spells and not be discovered. It's the presence of your cultivation powers that would set off the alarms."

"All I have to do is to seal off my cultivation powers?'

"Positive. Once you seal off your powers, you can bring it back online anytime. But if you turn it back on within the Lightning Pool, it will sense it and begin its assault!"

"What' so scary about that? Come, seal off my cultivation for me!" Xu Que squinted his eyes as he smiled and allowed the system to seal off his powers.

Since he couldn't fight once he was inside, there was no harm in sealing his powers off. Besides, it was only temporary. If he met with any dangers, he would just turn it back on and use his escape emblem to get out. If he wished to get back in, he could always just try again using a different disguise.

"Ding! System has already sealed off your cultivation capabilities!"

Following the system beep, Xu Que felt like his entire body and meridians were empty. All the core energy stored within his dantian had disappeared and he felt like a mere mortal man. It felt like everything within his body had been scooped out and all that was left was a hollow exterior.

However, on the surface, it could still be seen that he was of the Full Foundation, Golden Core Stage. There was no difference to his appearances at all. Even Su Ling'er beside him couldn't tell the difference.

"Alright, let's go. We can enter now!" Xu Que regained his sense and spoke to Su Ling'er.

"Eh, I shall leave a mark here. Xiao Qi and the rest of our tribe will arrive here at night!" Su Ling'er nodded her head as she waved her hand over the ground, causing a faint mark to be imprinted.

The pair of them then walked towards the Lightning Pool.

Xu Que managed to cross through the protective spells without much trouble and he didn't feel anything while crossing through as well.

After walking some distance in, the people around them started to swell in numbers. There were many people of different tribes and looked very different. They occupied different areas and were resting up, waiting for tomorrow's big day, the Lightning Tribulations Worship.

The most surprising thing to Xu Que was that right in the middle were nine Lightning Pools.

Lightning flashes were rampant within each of the pools. It seemed like the electric current were fusing with the water in the pools. No wonder it was called the Lightning Pools!

When Xu Que first laid his eyes on the pools, his hair stood on the edge. He believed that if he jumped into any of these pools, he would definitely be electrocuted to death and be charred like a piece of burnt meat. What's more, with nine different pools around, adding to the overall power of the entire area, even Infant Transformation Stage cultivators would be endangered!

"Come, let's go over to the other side!"

At this point, Su Ling'er had already found a spot where there was nobody.

Xu Que didn't wander off as well and followed her.

As they were walking, many male demonic beasts stopped to stare and glare at Su Ling'er. Some of them scrutinized her body lecherously as they sneered and sniggered.

"Yo, it's Sky Demon Tribe's Su Ling'er. She had found a male monkey as a companion. Looks like she really can't deal with the loneliness!"

"Isn't that obvious? Look at her disposition. She must be a woman who sleeps around and enjoy the company of men. How can she ever bear to be alone and lonely?"

"Kekeke! It's a pity that she can't find a better partner and had to settle for this monkey."

"Haha! And it's a monkey of the Golden Core Stage. Didn't expect her taste to swing this way!"

Everyone started to whisper under their breaths, although it was still audible for them to hear.

"Damn it! These mentally handicapped animals!" Xu Que's hair stood on the edge and was about to lash out back at the gossiping group of demonic beasts.

However, Su Ling'er had anticipated this in advanced and pulled him back to restrain him. She maintained a stoic expression and shook her head, "Have you forgotten everything I said before we entered? Don't care about them. Wait 'till I successfully complete my Tribulations and reach the Infant Transformation Stage. Then I shall find seek revenge for us!"

"Hehe… why do we have to wait? I promised you that I won't spout rubbish earlier. But they came to scold us. I can't bear it anymore. I have to take my revenge immediately,. That's the way I am."

Xu Que finished speaking to her and turned his head towards the group of demonic beasts.

"No!" Su Ling'er was alarmed.

However, Xu Que had already began his verbal assaults.

"To hell with all of your single mothers? Didn't she teach all of you to brush your teeth? Is that the reason all your mouths are so filthy?"

"What are you staring at? Do you believe this Great Sage over here will use my stick to tear you another butt hole?"

The ten demonic beasts around froze in shock, before their shock turned to anger.

They were all of the Original Infant Stages and were scolded and insulted so hardly by a Golden Core Stage monkey? That was too infuriating.

"Outrageous! Are you sick of living?" A man with the nose of a bull stood up to berate him.

Xu Que sniggered coldly, "Whether I'm sick of living has nothing to do with you. After all, I know that as long as you live, you're a waste of oxygen. When you die, you will be a waste of soil. If you go to heaven, they will spurn and reject you. If you go to hell, they will all abandon and outcast you!"

"You…"

"Don't speak to me. I don't wish to hear any word from you. If not, people would imagine that I'm arguing with a pig."

"I'm not…"

"I don't know how you have so much courage to live. Look at that stupid pig's nose of yours. With such an ugly face, you still have the courage to talk to girls?"

"This is the nose of a bull…"

"Even if you have a bull's nose, I'm sure it's the ugliest nose a bull can ever have. All of a sudden, I'm in full admiration of your parents and how brave they are. For they actually managed to tolerate such a disgusting creature and even raised you up in spite of your repulsive features."

"Monkey, you…"

"Please don't speak about me. I'm very good. It's just that I strongly suggest you to hurry and get reincarnated and start your life afresh. In your next life, you should aspire to become a pig. That would be loads better than your current situation. You look like a mix of a pig and a bull, it's horrendous."

"Bastard, you're looking to die!"' The bull-nosed man was thoroughly enraged as he clenched his fists and charged towards Xu Que.

The entire area within the Lightning Pool didn't allow anyone to attack. Just as he clenched his fist and activated a spell, the nearest Lightning Pool shot out a Lightning Snake towards the bull-nosed man at such incredible speed that it was impossible for him to dodge, hitting him square in the chest.

"Boom!'

The bull-nosed man flew a far distance away and landed heavily on the grass. His entire body was charred burnt from the strength of the attack. Smoke wisped out from his body and he was completely still.

"..."

Everyone around were dazed.

They had never seen anyone who was able to scold and curse someone with such imaginative creativity. He scolded with a passion, with such speed that his opponent didn't even have a chance to finish a single sentence. This caused the bull-nosed man to be so enraged that he lost his senses and actually wanted to fight here within the Lightning Pool. At last, he was killed by the spells surrounding this area.

This… This monkey was way too vile huh?

Everyone around stared at Xu Que in a daze as their hearts trembled. Some of them were extremely relieved that they didn't engage in a quarrel with Xu Que, for they might have lost their senses in their anger and ended up in the same state as the bull-nosed man.

Su Ling'er was astonished as well. She had never seen anyone better at scolding someone than Xu Que. He fired curses and insults like rapid cannons as if he didn't need time to think of what to say. It was too vile.

She then thought for sometime, and imagined herself quarreling with Xu Que. She might have been so angry that she would probably want to kill him as well.

"Hey, you over there. You with the pair of breasts on your back, come over. I saw you staring at me just now. You wish to pick a fight with me?" At this point, Xu Que pointed at a group of demonic beasts some distance away.

Everyone was thrown into shock once more as they turned their heads around to see. They then realized that Xu Que was pointing at a camel looking man. His fists were clenched up too and he looked ashenly at Xu Que.

Everyone then reacted to this and all nearly passed out.

He is a camel! What breasts are you talking about?

Su Ling'er was at a loss for words as well. She then tugged on Xu Que's sleeves and whispered, "Enough! That's enough!"

"No. I absolutely cannot get used to such a strange looking thing! Look at that… Aiyo, he actually has his little brother (penis) on his face." Xu Que then pointed to another man and shouted out in astonishment.

A man with the face of an elephant looked extremely upset. It was clear he was very close to vomiting blood.

"Fuck!" The elephant man shouted out a curse and turned around to leave. He didn't dare to remain, for he was sure that if he continued hearing those insults, it would drive him to kill Xu Que!

Everyone were trying their best to mask their laughter. He's so… Evil! His little brother on his face? How the hell could he think of such things? Looks like the entire elephant race can no longer have any face to see anyone after this.

At this point, a snake man couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Hahahah! I'm going to die of laughter! This monkey is so different. His mouth is even more evil than mine."

Xu Que glared across at him, "Damn it. Why does this guy's entire face a penis? And you still have the cheek to laugh?"

Chapter 134: Thunder Tribulations Worship!

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 30 act tough points!"

"Ding! Congratulations to host 'Xu Que' for successfully acting tough. The reward is 30 act tough points!"

It seemed like Xu Que alone was enough to hold out against thousands of enemies just with his foul mouth alone. He hurled verbal abuses at everyone around to a point where nobody dared to talkback to him.

After the incident with the bull-nosed man, everyone including the camels, the elephants or even the snake men controlled their tempers. They turned around and tried to leave the area.

It wasn't because they were afraid. It was because they knew that they could never quarrel against him.

Xu Que's verbal abuses were vile personal attacks. It was to the extent that quarreling with him would cause all of them to be humiliated and torn to pieces, not leaving a shred of dignity. What nonsense about having breasts on his back, penis on his face, and his entire face was a penis? It was extremely offensive. Each word of his would pierce the hearts of his enemy and hurt them.

Su Ling'er blushed red as she suppressed a laugh.

Most of the words Xu Que used made her feel embarrassed and yet it helped to relieve all the stress she was feeling.

Xu Que placed his hands on his hips, looking like a fearless and mighty warrior as he cast his glance around at the remaining people.

As soon as his gaze landed on them, everyone turned away, avoiding his gaze. They were all afraid to be caught looking at him.

"He can really scold people very well. This is the first time I've ever seen someone scold others in such an exaggerated fashion. Screw this! It's better if I steer clear away from him!"

"Hmp! Once the Thunder Tribulations Worship comes tomorrow, we can teach this damned monkey a lesson."

Before long, everyone standing around had dispersed.

Indeed, they were all at a loss as to what to do. They could neither out speak him, neither could they fight and kill him. If they stood there and allowed him to lash out, they might lose control of their anger and lose their lives.

Hence, nobody dared to stand near Xu Que. Everyone decided to maintain a safe distance away from him.

Xu Que and Su Ling'er then realized that they had the entire plot of land to themselves and it was a nice and comfortable spot too!

"Hehe!"

When everyone had left and not a person remained, Su Ling'er let out a giggle. She then looked at Xu Que curiously, "Sun Wu Kong, how did you think of all those things to scold them?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Actually, the person who's best at scolding people would be Zhu Ge Liang!" Xu Que laughed out and replied.

"Oh? Who is Zhu Ge Liang?" Su Ling'er asked.

"A noble man! Anyway even if I were to tell you, you won't understand. We have to take advantage of this time to absorb the Lightning Evasion Pill. Come, each of us should take five pills. When tomorrow comes, we will have a breeze with the Tribulations!" Xu Que spoke out as he forced five pills onto her hands.

Su Ling'er was immediately appalled, "No, just one pill would be enough. If not, we won't be in time for the Thunder Tribulations Worship tomorrow. Besides, one pill would be more than enough to handle the Tribulations."

As she finished speaking, she then pinched up a single pill and placed it into her mouth. The rest, she returned to Xu Que.

"Are these pills very hard to absorb?" Xu Que was astonished by this fact.

Su Ling'er smiled gently, "It varies from person to person and the absorption rate varies too. Most people would need about four to five hours to absorb a single pill! I've already consumed mine and is started to absorb it. You should do it soon as well!"

As she finished her sentence, she shut her eyes and sat cross legged as she rotated her cultivation base.

Xu Que didn't hesitate as well and sat down beside her. He then swallowed a single pill and waited for it to be absorbed.

"Ding! Since the host's cultivation powers had been sealed off, the speed of absorption has been severely reduced. It now would take one hour to absorb the pill!" The system rang out in his head.

Xu Que froze. What on earth? Even with reduced speed, it only took an hour?

Fuck me! Doesn't that mean thay my absorption rate is extraordinary? Oh right, I almost forgot. That's because I possess five spiritual roots.

Xu Que was elated as he looked down on the eight remaining pills in his hands and chuckled. He then placed all of them into his mouth.

"Ding! Since the host's cultivation powers had been sealed off, the speed of absorption has been severely reduced. It would now take nine hours to absorb all the pills! Note that since the host has swallowed more pills than the safety limit, the host would be placed into hibernation mode while the pills are being absorbed to prevent damage!"

"Hibernation mode? What the f--?"

Whoosh!

In that next instant, Xu Que's vision went black and he fell into a deep sleep.

As time passed, the number of demonic humans gathering around started increasing as well. The night was fast approaching.

When Su Ling'er had completely absorbed the Lightning Evasion Pill, the sky was already scattered with flickering stars.

She then exhaled deeply and looked at Xu Que who was beside her. Xu Que looked exactly like he was cultivating. His eyes were closed shut. Seeing this, she smiled.

"Su Ling'er, our King wishes to convey a message to you." a strange looking man stepped forward to speak.

He was a huge dog from neck downwards and yet he could move and walk normally. His facial features and head were just like those of a humans, nothing different. He was smiling creepily at Su Ling'er.

Su Ling'er gave a somber expression as she cleared her throat, "Wild dog, you traitor. How dare you come and see me?"

"Why shouldn't I dare? I have the Tiger King's protection. What can you do to me? Hehe… Hear this. The Tiger King wants you to be the first person to cross your Tribulation. You are to do this once the day breaks." The big black dog smiled, his expression revealing one of joy.

"You want me to cross the Tribulations first? Why should I?" Su Ling'er cleared her throat.

"That's because your sister Su Xiao Qi is with us now. Once the day breaks, you have to be the first person to cross. Besides, you must only cross your own Tribulation and must not activate other Lightning Pools. If not…"

"You dare!" Su Ling'er was visibly enraged. Her entire body radiated killing intent.

The black dog seemed to have been startled by her outburst and laughed nervously, "The Thunder Tribulations Worships haven't started. What can you do to me? Don't forget. Your younger sister is in our hands."

As he finished speaking, the black dog then turned around and started laughing once more.

Su Ling'er was trembling violently in anger and yet she couldn't strike out against him.

Before long, several Sky Demon Tribe elders hurried over, their faces were filled with anger.

"My Queen, we've been tricked. When we rushed over here, we were ambushed by the Thousand Demon Tribe. Xiao Qi…"

"I already know about this. After the Tribulations, I shall find them and seek revenge!" Su Ling'er exhaled a breath of air as she tried her utmost to restrain her temper and spoke softly.

She looked towards Xu Que, who was still in a deep state of cultivation. She pursed her lips and didn't wake him up.

Before long, the sky was starting to turn bright.

"Boom!"

The time for the Thunder Tribulations Worship had come. A thunderbolt sliced through the clear sky abruptly. The thunderbolt crashed down and struck the ground in the middle of the nine Lightning Pools.

This caused numerous surges of electricity to entwine with one another from each Lightning Pool. The electrical currents hovered just above the pools and were linked with one another and were pulsating with increasing intensity as if it would explode any minute. After sometime, the currents stabilized and formed a single huge altar floating above the pools.

Every single person of the demonic human race gathered around the pools and raised their heads to look up at the altar. Their faces were filled with reverence and respect.

"The Tribulations which only happen once a year has finally arrived!"

"I wonder who would emerge victorious as the King of our race this time."

"When it comes to strength, it probably be the Queen of Sky Demon Tribe or the King of Thousand Demon Tribes."

"I've noticed that Su Ling'er has already managed to cultivate up to the sixth form. That would mean that she would be able to conjure six thunderbolts from the heavens. That's the ferocity and strength of her tribe!"

"That's right. The six thunderbolts would score her six points. Along with the fact that she's at the Original Infant Stage. That would score her an additional two points. She would have a total of eight points then!"

"Looks like the position of King would be taken down by Su Ling'er this time."

"That's not guaranteed as well. The Tiger Dragon King is not someone you should overlook as well."

Everyone burst out in animated discussion and yet nobody made the move to cross the Tribulations first. Everyone were just watching on expectantly.

Su Ling'er gave a gloomy expression as she turned around to glare at the man with a long tiger's tail. Killing intent welled out from her body.

"I shall cross the Tribulations first. Look after Sun Wu Kong properly!"

Since the altar had already been set up, she could activate it and be the first person to attempt to cross the Tribulation. After instructing her tribe's elders, she started floating into the air as she approached the altar.

"Ah! My Queen..." The few Original Infant Staged elders froze in shock. They wanted to hold her back but they were too late.

"What was going on? Why did she want to be the first person?"

"The altar is still extremely unstable. The first person to go might suffer additional damage from the instability of the altar. It's not worth it to go first!"

"Damn it! I understand now. The Thousand Demons Tribe must've abducted Xiao Qi to threaten our Queen!"

"Damn it! We're to blame for being so careless!"

The few of them were agitated and anxious.

Everyone else standing around were surprised by this. Nobody would've expected that the first person to ascend towards the altar and cross the Tribulation would be Su Ling'er.

"That's strange. Doesn't Su Ling'er know that the first candidate has the most disadvantages?"

"Should her luck prove to be insufficient today, she could very well die to the additional damage taken due to the unstable altar!"

"Yeah. What's more, she still has to deal with her six thunderbolts!"

Everyone started discussing her fate as Su Ling'er stood right in the middle of the altar.

She closed her eyes shut and sucked in a deep breath of air. At the same time, she started releasing the pressure within her body as she activated the Tribulations.

"Boom!"

A thunderbolt as thick as an arm struck down from high up above, several thousand kilometers in the sky and descended down.

At the same time, Xu Que who had been in deep sleep awoke abruptly. The second his eyes opened, he could see electrical arcs running all across his body as they zapped each other.

Chapter 135: I'll Give You A Hard Time And Make You Vomit Buckets Of Blood!

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

"Ding! Congratulations to host Xu Que for successfully absorbing 9 Lightning Evasion Pills. The pill had been assimilated by the 5 spiritual roots and activated an ability from the manuscript-- God of Hell's Compulsion!"

The system rang out loudly in Xu Que's head.

Xu Que straightened himself before realizing what he had heard, causing him to be dumbstruck.

The Ancient Five Elemental Arts had such a use? It could even activate a manuscript and best of all, it was completely free!

What was going on?

"Sys… System, did I just explode with luck? Everytime I swallow pills something good would happen to me!"

" was the strongest manual ever since the creation of this world. Since it was unnaturally strong, it incurred the wrath of the heavens. Hence, every single Heavenly Tribulation encountered by the host would be harder than ever. Should the host get distracted during a Tribulation, it would be extremely likely that he would die as a result. In order for the system to protect the host from possible death and to ensure his survival, the host has intentionally reduced the level of requirements when it comes to issuing rewards and whenever the host purchases items. This is done in order to help the host survive."

"Damn me. Now it all makes sense! I was just wondering why all the manuals and items in the system shop were so cheap. So it was because you intentionally reduced the requirements which I'm supposed to attain. That's fine by me as well. Seems like at least you are different from those people around who would seek to kill me at the slightest chance they got and those cheap sluts who would attempt to slice off my little brother!"

Xu Que felt extremely pleased as he decided to look into the manuscript of the !

[God of Hell's Compulsion] :

The number one manuscript of the Ancient Five Elemental Arts. It would absorb the spiritual elements of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Lightning and Ice and use their powers to temper the host's body. Upon combination of all these elements, tremendous power would ensue.

It's eternal, unbreakable and fuses with every single move.

(Attention: This ability is of an extremely high level and thus require a massive amount of spiritual essence!)

"It has to absorb the eight different spiritual elements before tremendous power would ensue?" Xu Que nodded his head. This road to cultivation was indeed a long and difficult one!

"Boom!"

At this point, a loud roar could be heard ringing out from the sky!

Xu Que turned his head to look and saw that Su Ling'er was already standing atop the altar, where streaks of thunder and lightning surrounded her as she welcomed the Lightning Tribulations upon herself.

In comparison to the immense amount of force and energy surrounding her, the body of Su Ling'er looked extremely tiny.

Enormous arcs of lightning descended down upon her, almost causing her to get blown away from the strength of it. However after swallowing the Lightning Evasion Pill, Su Ling'er managed to hold out the Lightning Tribulations.

Xu Que was astonished, "Why is this girl so impatient? Couldn't she have waited for me to come around before starting her Tribulation?"

"Ai, friend Sun, you've finally woken up." At this point, several elite Sky Demon Tribe members turned around to look at Xu Que after hearing him mumble to himself.

Xu Que recognized them and greeted them jubilantly, "The few of you took a long time to reach! Oh, right, where is Su Xiao Qi? Has she scooted off to play again?"

When the few of them heard this, their faces revealed bitter looks and were evidently stumped.

Immediately, they started explaining how Su Xiao Qi had been abducted by the Thousand Demons Tribe and recounting every word they had heard earlier.

By the time Xu Que finished listening to them, he was enraged. His face fell as he asked coldly, "Where are the Thousand Demons Tribe members lurking?"

"This… My friend Sun, please do not do anything foolish!", one of the elders attempted to coax him.

"That's right. They have strength in numbers and are all extremely skillful. Especially the Tiger Dragon King who has established alliances with many other tribes. At this point, there's nothing much we can do."

"He's right. As long as she's still alive, there's hope. Besides, we don't know where they have hidden Xiao Qi. If we were to antagonize them, they might kill Xiao Qi in retaliation."

"Eh, it's better to wait for our Queen to complete her Tribulations before making a move. Besides, she's already onto her fifth wave. There's still one more to go. It seems like she will emerge successful."

"But our Queen… Looks like she might not be able to hold on for much longer!"

As soon as these words were uttered, their faces revealed looks of terror.

Xu Que tilted his head to look at the altar up above. He hadn't taken a close look earlier. Now when he observed closely, he realized that Su Ling'er's face was indeed pale, as if drained of all blood. It was apparent that she was hurt as well.

"Boom!" the sixth bolt of lightning and thunder descended down upon her.

The horrifying bolt of lightning which cracked the sky open and resembled an ancient serpent forked and looked as though it opened its mouth and split into two as it dashed towards Su Ling'er.

When Xu Que saw this, his heart trembled. He knew that without his Spirit Visage, he wouldn't be able to survive the strength of such a powerful bolt of lightning.

However, it was different for Su Ling'er. Although she wasn't as powerful as Xu Que when it came to killing, she was still a skilled Original Infant Staged cultivator of the Full Foundation level. When it came to handling the Tribulations, her physical body was equal to the strength of the lightning bolts.

As soon as the lightning lashed out, she raised her hand and conjured a spell to block it, defending herself.

It was a pity that right in the face of the sixth bolt of lightning, Su Ling'er was miniscule compared to the size of it.

"I shall assist her!" Xu Que spoke out as he readied himself to help, as though he couldn't bear to watch on idly.

However, an elder immediately restrained him, his face was full of fear as he shouted out, "You must not, my friend Sun. If you go up, the Tribulations will assault you as well. In fact, it would assume that you are trying to intervene with the Tribulations and the ferocity of it will increase by manifolds."

"That's right. Besides, there are many spells placed around the altars. Whenever someone was in the midst of the Tribulations, nobody is permitted to cross."

When Xu Que heard this, his face sank.

I can't help? Then I can only watch on helplessly?

"Wham!"

At that moment, the final wave of lightning swept across before landing heavily upon Su Ling'er's body and crashed into her with a deafening blast. Her body resembled a kite which had its string severed, as she flew uncontrollably out of the domains of the altar with immense force.

"My Queen!" The few elders revealed looks of shock as they shouted out helplessly.

Xu Que's eyelids twitched as well as he prepared to break out of the seal which locked his cultivation powers and prepared to rush towards her and rescue her.

However, even before he could do anything, Su Ling'er which was about to land heavily onto the ground slowed down in velocity as she floated down gradually.

Under the shocked expressions from everyone around, she gravitated slowly towards Xu Que.

The few Original Infant Staged elders heaved a sigh of relief, "My Queen, it's good that you're alright. The situation was too grave earlier."

"I almost thought you wouldn't be able to survive it. I was completely taken aback by how ferocious the bolts of lightning were!"

"Thankfully you managed to survive this Tribulation. After several days of rest, you would be able to cross over into the Infant Transformation Stage. As for the position of Queen of Demons, let's forget about it for now!"

"..." Su Ling'er didn't reply as her pale face contorted as she turned to look at Xu Que. As she opened her mouth, a sliver of blood dripped down from the edges of her lips.

"Not good!"

"My Queen, you…" The few elders of the Sky Demon Tribe were taken aback by the severity of her injuries.

Xu Que rushed towards her to hold her as he purchased a Blood Circulation Pill and forced it into her mouth as he whispered, "Sit down and recuperate! As for the matter concerning Xiao Qi, leave it to me!"

Su Ling'er looked at Xu Que gravely and nodded her head. She was then helped by Xu Que as she took a seat and began healing her injuries.

She was grievously injured at this point!

The expressions of the elders were extremely unsightly as well, as they shouted out in anger, "If it weren't for the fact that the Thousand Demons Tribe threatened us, our Queen didn't have to be the first person to go up and activate her Tribulations. Then, she wouldn't have been subjected to such powerful and unsteady waves of lightning."

"Thankfully, she got lucky this time and managed to survive. If she was down on her luck today, it was very possible that she would fail the Tribulations and lose her life!"

"Damn it…."

The few of them cast cold glances at a group of demonic humans lurking at a corner.

Xu Que stood up and looked in the same direction as well. The group of demonic humans were a strange looking bunch. Only a pair of men looked normal, the rest of them had strange features about them.

One of them had a long tiger's tail and was of the Full Foundation Original Infant Stage. He must be that Tiger Dragon King!

There was someone else whose appearances resembled him, but the cultivation level was slightly lower beside him and was whispering into his hears. He must be the brother of the Tiger Dragon King.

Behind the pair of them were demonic humans with vile grins and smirks as the laughed mockingly and looked towards Xu Que, evidently gloating in their misfortune.

Before long, the tiger tailed King took a step forward.

Under the cheers of his companions, he floated high up into the sky and entered the boundaries of the altar.

"Wah! The Tiger King is about to activate his Tribulations!"

"It's hard to believe that the two strongest contenders would be the first pair to activate their Tribulations!"

"It's a pity that Su Ling'er was too impatient and rushed to be the first. She was then subjected to the unstable strength of the lightning bolts and was unable to successfully gain control over the lightning pool!"

"Looks like the position of the King of Demons would be taken by the Tiger King!"

Everyone around broke into discussion.

Xu Que watched on coldly from the corner of his eyes as he revealed a cold smile from the corner of his lips.

You wish to activate your Tribulations? Hehe... if I fail to give you a hard time and vomit buckets of blood, my name isn't Xu Que!"

Chapter 136: Today, I Shall Grill Tiger Penises!

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

"The Tiger King is impressive!"

"After this round of Tribulation, our new King of Demons will be established!"

"Haha, looks like the Demon King will come from our Thousand Demons Tribe and conquer the entire race for the next hundred years!"

The Thousand Demons Tribe members started celebrating joyously and cheering obnoxiously.

Xu Que walked over wordlessly and stood beside the Lightning Pool. He then raised his head and looked at the Tiger King who was beginning his Tribulations.

Everyone around were stumped.

"What is this damned monkey trying to do?"

"He actually dared to stand beneath the altar? Is he sick of living?"

"He's just a mere Golden Core Stage. Should a little lightning touch him, he would be fried to death for sure!"

"Keke! This monkey hasn't seen enough of the world to be experienced! Look at how foolish he seems right now!"

The Thousand Demons Tribe started mocking and jeering at him.

At that moment, the Sky Demon Tribe elders jumped up in fright as they watched Xu Que. They were unsure of why he had walked over towards the altar as they shouted out towards him in panic.

"Friend Sun, please come back now!"

"You can't be there! It's extremely unsafe!"

"We promised our Queen to keep you safe. We can talk this over. Please come back, won't you?"

"Don't worry. I'm just hungry and wish to cook something for myself." Xu Que stood just beneath the altar as he let out a helpless laugh.

The elders of Sky Demon Tribe reeled in shock, "Friend Sun, if you wish to cook something, that's fine. But can you please cook over here instead?"

"That won't do. There is far too few people there. It would only be interesting to cook it over here, where there's more people. I can whip up a dish and watch the Tribulations with a good view from here!"

"..."

Everyone who heard this were left speechless.

However, nobody dared to walk over towards Xu Que and drag him back because the Tiger King above had just activated his Tribulations. If they weren't careful and were struck by the lightning, they would be in deep trouble. Even if they didn't die, they would be gravely injured.

The rest of the demonic humans broke out in laughter.

"Cooking something under the altar?"

"Haha! This foolish monkey really is inexperienced. He actually dares to watch the Tribulations while eating from such an unsafe position!"

"Looks like he doesn't know of the ferocity of the Tribulations!"

"Does he think that he's safe just because he's under the altar? How naive! Hahaha!!!"

The sounds of laughter started getting louder such that even the Tiger King above could hear. He casted a cold look down beneath him and glanced at Xu Que before ignoring him and resuming his focus on the Tribulations.

"Boom!"

At this point, a flash of lightning followed by the roar of thunder emerged from between the thick clouds signalling the start of the Tribulations. The surrounding arcs of lightning swarmed overhead above the Tiger King and covered the area around.

"Watch! The Tribulations is getting underway!"

"Look at how formidable the Tiger King is. It's evident that he would be our new King of Demons!"

Everyone's attention had been captured as they started to ignore Xu Que.

At this point, Xu Que sat down as he started a fire using a pair of rocks.

"Our friend Sun, now is not the time for games. Hurry and come back!"

"I hope you're not thinking of grilling chicken wings now? You shouldn't do it there!"

"With the current strength of the Tiger King, he would have at least five waves of lightning for his Tribulations. Even we won't dare to get near! Quickly come back here!"

The elders of Sky Demon Tribe were still trying to coax him back.

Xu Que waved his hands and smiled excitedly, "No, no, no. I'm not going to grill chicken wings. Having too much of that will lose my interest in it!"

"Then… What are you grilling?" The elders straightened up, realizing that the situation was getting progressively more complicated.

"Ba dum!"

All of a sudden, a loud roar echoed throughout the skies once more.

The ferocity of the thunders caused the atmosphere around to tense up as everyone held their breaths in nervousness.

At this point, Xu Que broke the silence by replying the question asked by the Sky Demon Tribe elders.

"I am grilling Tiger Penises today!"

(T/N : Tiger penises are believed by the chinese to contain healing properties)

These six words were uttered matter of factly by Xu Que.

Since it was quiet all around due to the tense atmosphere, hence, his word rang out loudly and clearly to everyone around.

They were all astonished.

Grilling tiger penises?

Fuck! Is this monkey mental? He… He actually dared to mention tiger penises in front of the Tiger King and even wanted to grill them?

"Outrageous! Where did you come from damned monkey? How dare you show such disrespect to my race?" the brother of the Tiger King, who had been whispering into his ears earlier, shouted out in rage.

At the same time, more than ten members of the Thousand Demon Tribe three angry glances over at Xu Que.

"Was I being rude? Fine. I shan't speak anymore then. Would that be alright?" Xu Que chuckled to himself as he immediately purchased a single tiger penis from the system store and placed it on the grills. Immediately, everyone from the Thousand Demon Tribe burst out in shock.

"..." Their faces started twitching in anger.

Even the Sky Demon Tribe elders were stumped,as their faces revealed looks of dread. Xu Que had taken all of them by surprise, never imagining that Xu Que would actually start grilling a tiger penis. And he actually took out a tiger penis and started preparing to grill it.

But, even if you wanted to cook it, why did you have to be so showy and make such a big scene out of it? You even stabbed it with a grilling fork and swing it around while speaking. What were you trying to do? All the female cultivators around are so embarrassed by whatever they were seeing.

The audience were all at a loss for words as Xu Que beamed in happiness. He then coated the tiger penis with honey and started speaking out loudly.

"Fellow comrades, let me tell you, tiger penises are such wonders. The small penises of tigers have regenerative properties and can even maintain youth! The most important information is that, I'm actually holding the Tiger King's penis in my hands! This is a rare occasion! A once in a hundred years occasion. Please don't get overly excited yet. I shall let everyone have a taste once I'm done grilling. Everyone shall have a share!" As he finished speaking, he placed the tiger penis down on the grill once more and started slow cooking it.

Everyone then understood what he was trying to do. The Tiger King's penis? He was clearly trying to agitate the Tiger King.

Big brother, you… Where did you get such guts from? You actually dared to grill a tiger penis and even wanted all of us to try it? Try your sister!

And you even intentionally started grilling it just under the altar. You're clearly trying to humiliate the Tiger King!

"Hmp! You're asking for death!" The brother of the Tiger King let out a shout of anger as he charged towards Xu Que, his face was filled with rage.

Meanwhile, the Tribulations had already begun and thus, there were no longer any restrictions preventing cultivators from using their skills. Everyone was free to conjure spells!

However, Xu Que was unable to conjure any. Should he attempt to, he would suffer the consequences and be attacked by all nine lightning pools around!

Since he couldn't use any spells, he whipped out his Killer Blade from the inventory, which had full Glory at this point and swept it across at oncoming Tiger King's younger brother!

"Wham!"

The Tiger King's brother was of the Golden Core stage and yet was sent flying into the air by the ferocious and sudden strike.

"Wah!" Everyone exclaimed in shock at the scene unfolding before their eyes.

"Did I see it right? This… This monkey's strength is terrifying!"

"He didn't even imbue any core strength into his strike and was only using his physical strength. Yet he could send the Tiger King's brother flying into the air!"

"That's scary! This is the power of innate strength!"

Everyone broke out into sighs of shock.

However, since he couldn't use any spells, he could only rely on the Full Glory Killer Blade to defend himself. Thus, the extent of damage he could do was severely limited as well.

Although the brother of the Tiger King was sent flying into the air, he only sustained a bump to the head which had swelled up rapidly. Apart from feeling slightly dizzy, he didn't sustain any serious injury.

Thankfully for him, Xu Que didn't use any spells in his attack. If not, this tiger would have been beaten into a mist of blood.

Still, this strike clearly angered everyone belonging to the Thousand Demon Tribe.

"How audacious! You foolish monkey! You actually dared to strike someone from my tribe!"

"Give me your life!"

Ten demonic humans started dashing over. Among them, the one with the dog's body outran the entire bunch as he charged towards Xu Que.

He was the traitor to Sky Demon Tribe and had betrayed them for the Thousand Demons Tribe. In showing his aggression and fury, he was hoping to earn some credit and merit from the onlooking pair of tiger brothers.

"Ba doom!"

In that second, a crack of lightning whipped out from the sky and struck past the altar and missed Xu Que very narrowly.

With a loud crack, the feral dog who had almost reached Xu Que was struck by the very same lightning. He crashed to the ground and started twitching.

Although he wasn't dead, he was struggling for breath and was close to death.

Seeing whatever just happened, the rest of them halted in their tracks and didn't dare approach.

Xu Que watched on elatedly as he let out a roaring laughter, "Hahaha!!! The lightning really knows how to pick its target and strike the right person. It chose the human-head dog-bodied idiot who deserved it!"

"Ba doom!"

The second his last word was uttered, yet another bolt of lightning slashed across the sky.

The lightning crashed in front of Xu Que and missed his head by just inches and landed heavily onto the grill before him. This was enough to cause Xu Que to jump up in fear.

"Holy mother! Could this be the effectiveness of the +2 points from the Human Skinned Mask? The lightning came so close and still missed me." Xu Que was started as he patted his chest. Seeing the grill before him getting struck by lightning caused his expression to turn as he shouted out in shock, "Fuck me! Tiger King, your penis exploded!"

Chapter 137: Monkey, You're About To Be A Cripple!

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

The tiger's penis exploded!

These words couldn't be more true.

The tiger's penis which was on the grill had been struck by the lightning and had exploded. Whatever was left had been charred black with wisps of smoke sizzling out from it. Evidently, it could no longer be consumed.

Xu Que looked extremely disappointed as he turned to the crowd apologetically, "Everyone, the tiger's penis is gone. Shall we grill tiger's kidneys instead?"

"..." The crowd was at a loss for words, as the females in the crowd were blushing so red they felt dizzy as they stared at him, mouths opened.

Tiger King who was on the altar in the midst of his Tribulations was filled with rage as his facial expression revealed the anger in his heart. His eyes emanated killing intents.

When he heard Xu Que shout out, "Tiger King, your penis exploded" he nearly broke free from his own Tribulations, wanting to charge towards Xu Que and slap him to death. Thankfully, he managed to restrain himself. He was due to become the King of Demons and had to have some tolerance and self-restraint.

He believed that once his Tribulations was over, the monkey underneath him would become a dead monkey for sure!

"Ignore that ugly clown down below. Once I end my Tribulations, I shall put him into a pot of boiling water and cook him 'till he dies. I shall then impale him with a thousand blades and let everyone try a delicious snack of monkey meat!" The Tiger King stood atop the altar and looked extremely intimidating as he shouted out.

"Boom!'

A bolt of lightning descended from the skies once again as it struck the Tiger King. The instant the lightning bolt touched his body, it broke into fragments and scattered all across his body. That bolt of lightning had been absorbed and withstood by the Tiger King almost effortlessly. His ferocity and powers awed everyone watching.

"That was the fourth wave. The Tiger King is too strong. He could even still use the fourth wave of lightning to strengthen his own body!"

"The Tiger King is formidable!"

"The new King of our race is about to emerge!"

Everyone was instantly convinced by the Tiger King's prowess as they started cheering.

The members of the Thousand Demons Tribe looked at each other and revealed excited smiles.

"Looks like the Tiger King would have no problems with his fifth wave. The most important thing at this point was whether he would be able to activate and conjure a sixth wave!"

"That's right. That Nine Tails Fox was able to conjure the sixth lightning due to the exclusive blood which runs in her veins. But the Tiger King didn't have the same ability and might find it harder to conjure the sixth bolt!"

"It seems like the Tiger King would only be able to summon five bolts of lightning. In order for him to conjure the sixth wave, he has to be much stronger. He has to seize the precise moment of the fifth wave and attempt to conjure the sixth bolt and fight with the heavens!"

"Hm... seems like even the games played by the childish monkey won't be able to distract the Tiger King at this point."

"Look! The fifth wave is about to begin!"

Everyone glanced up above onto the altar as they revealed looks of anticipation.

They stopped paying attention to Xu Que who was beneath the altar. Only the few Sky Demon Tribe elders were feeling anxious as they watched Xu Que. They were wondering if they should wake Su Ling'er up and ask her to convince the monkey to return.

In that second however, Xu Que whipped out a huge wok and placed it above the fire. He then poured oil onto the wok.

"What… What was this kid trying to do now?"

"Pouring oil onto the wok? Is he trying to cook tiger's penises again? Or is he trying to cook tiger's kidneys this time?"

"My friend Sun... Looks like nothing we say can convince him anymore!"

"Ai, actually I know what he's trying to do. He wishes to distract the Tiger King and prevent him from successfully overcoming the Tribulations."

"It's a pity that it's not going to work. The Tiger King is full of grit and determination. It seems like he won't even have any problems should a sixth wave materialize. He won't be distracted by our friend Sun at all."

"Looks like we are to blame for being careless and allowing them to abduct Xiao Qi to use her to blackmail us. This forced our Queen to become the first person to activate the Tribulations and undergo unnecessary opposition!"

The few of them shook their heads and sighed out regretfully.

At this point, the clouds started rolling once more as the sound of thunder was heard.

"Boom doom!"

The fifth lightning was brewing within the thick clouds and was evidently charging up. Even the clouds look swollen due to the immense amount of energy surging within the skies.

Everyone around held their breaths in anticipation as their eyes remained fixed onto the skies.

"Chi la!"

At last, a lightning bolt as thick as a person's arm was revealed from between the clouds as it crashed down.

"Boom!"

The Tiger King conjured numerous spells as he shouted out while embracing the force of the fifth lightning bolt.

A loud thud rang out as the lightning slammed down hard onto the Tiger King's body, sending him flying several hundred meters away. He was flung aside towards the outer boundaries of the altar and the Tiger King looked pale.

However, he had successfully withstood the fifth wave of the Tribulations.

"The Tiger King is formidable!"

"He even managed to withstand the fifth wave!"

"Next up would be the most critical point of the Tribulations. He has to seize this precise moment and incite the heavens into sending him a sixth wave of lightning!"

"That's right. As long as he manages to draw out the sixth wave, he would be able to activate the entire Lightning Pool. When that happens, we would have a new Demonic King!"

The Thousand Demons Tribe members were elated beyond measure.

Even members from other tribes were full of anticipation. It didn't matter to them who ascended the throne. As long as their new King or Queen was powerful enough to command their respect, he would be worthy to sit on the throne and lead the entire race towards greater heights!

Meanwhile, someone finally noticed Xu Que who was seated beneath the altar and was taken aback.

"Quickly look! What is that monkey up to now?"

"He has greased the entire wok. What could he be frying now?"

"Haha! It's no use. My brother has already locked in and is at his full concentration. He has the throne within sight and will not be distracted!" The Tiger King's brother laughed out coldly and shook his head, "Wait 'till my brother returns from the Tribulations. This monkey is dead meat."

"That's right. Even if he starts frying tiger's kidneys, it won't be of much use. While the Tiger King is crossing his Tribulations, nobody can stand in his way." A member of the Thousand Demons Tribe shouted out defiantly.

Xu Que was unperturbed as he smiled coldly, "Nobody can stand in his way huh? This Great Sage shall show you how I shall stand in his way!"

At the same time, the Tiger King managed to make his way back to the center of the altar. He took a step forward and concentrated hard, ignoring the scene that was unfolding beneath him. He amassed every ounce of concentration as he started drawing out the sixth and final wave of lightning, which was the most difficult to achieve as a tiger-raced cultivator.

To the rest of the demonic humans, as long as he manages to conjure the sixth wave, he would be on the same footing at Su Ling'er, both with six points to their names.

After he had done that, he would be able to conjure an additional wave from the Lightning Pools to baptize him in lightning. This would give him another point. The new Demon King title would then belong to him.

Besides, the Tiger King really needed the sixth wave of lightning to happen as well. This was a chance which came once every hundreds of years. He needed to use the strength of every wave of lighting to strengthen himself!

"Boom doom!"

At last, the sixth wave of lightning was successfully conjured as it started charging up within the clouds once more.

The group of people down below started cheering as they broke out in discussion.

"He's done it. The Tiger King managed to conjure the sixth wave of the Tribulations!"

"He���s too strong. Indeed he is the Tiger King!"

Up on the altar, the Tiger King's lips curled into a smile. He was a small step away from success!

"Wah! The oil has started to boil! I can start to fry!" Xu Que let out a shout of excitement as well as he stood up and flipped his hands around. He withdrew a large slab of smelly tofu and tossed it into the wok which was half filled with boiling oil.

In that moment, he raised his head to look up at the Tiger King who was nearing success of the Tribulations. He then let out a laugh, "Looks like you really can withstand the lightning huh? Let's see how strong your endurance really is!"

"Chi la!"

As soon as the slab of smelly tofu landed in the hot oil, it started sizzling while it floated in the wok of oil. An odour started rising up from the wok as it permeated around, causing the stomachs of those who smelt it to turn.

Standing some distance away from the lightning pools, the demonic humans started getting a whiff of the stench. Their faces contorted in evident disgust.

"Fuck! What's that stench?'

"It's shit? Is this monkey cooking shit?"

"Is he crazy? He's actually cooking shit here?"

"Wah! I can't stand it any longer. That smell... " The person couldn't even complete his sentence as his face froze before he vomited onto the ground.

For those people who were unfamiliar with the smell of smelly tofu, the stench was extremely unbearable. This was coupled with the fact that they had no idea what it was and formed an impression that the smelly tofu was dung. This caused everyone around to feel revolted and disgusted.

The foul stench had diffused all around into the air and started to waft up towards the altar.

The Tiger King who was immersed in his Tribulation and was in deep concentration started to catch a whiff of that terrible stench. Clinging onto his last remaining concentration strength, he was rapidly losing control. At this point, his soul strength was starting to fail him.

He had already reached the most important part of this Tribulations and in the critical stage. The instability of his own soul strength as a result of being distracted could potentially be fatal.

Precisely because his soul strength had been rocked, the sixth wave of lightning lost momentum and started withdrawing.

The skies started to calm down as it gradually turned quiet. The clouds retreated rapidly and everything disappeared within seconds, revealing clear skies overhead.

The sixth wave of Tribulations was gone!

His previous efforts were in vain!

"Pu!"

The Tiger King was filled with fiery rage as disappointment welled in his heart along with furious anger. He bent over and spat out a mouthful of blood as his heart trembled. He then shouted out, "Monkey, you're about to be a cripple!!!"

Chapter 138: Bring Me My Qin!

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

Xu Que's huge wok containing smelly tofu was indeed so repugnant that it caused a scene.

An Original Infant Staged cultivator who was facing his Tribulations would be able to effortlessly call down three waves of lightning. This would be enough for him to become much stronger and wouldn't be too difficult to cross.

However, since today was the day of the Thunder Tribulations Worship, which happened once every hundred years, it was a great opportunity to become immensely stronger than a usual Tribulation. As long as a participant could endure the multiple waves, he would be able to temper his body and emerge stronger than ever.

The Tiger King could proclaim himself King of the Thousand Demons Sect due to the fact that his cultivation level was the highest. He was of the Full Foundation level, Original Infant Stage. With his existing level of powers, the sixth bolt of lightning would inevitably be of great use to him in strengthening himself.

At this point, he had finally managed to seize the opportune moment and started to conjure the sixth wave of lightning when he had been distracted by the smelly tofu. The brief distraction was enough to cause him to stumble and ultimately fail in conjuring the sixth wave.

Haiya, this completely enraged him!

Fury was the best word used to describe the emotion felt by the Tiger King.

He was extremely dissatisfied and angry, which caused him to curse Xu Que as he deeply wished for Xu Que to turn into a cripple, a quadriplegic.

The initial aura of strength and formidability had vanished instantly.

Everyone present gave astonished looks.

"This..."

"The sixth wave of Tribulations was gone just like that?"

"He must've caught a whiff of that foul stench right at the critical moment and was negatively affected by it. If not, he wouldn't be this angry!"

"Ai, it's a shame. At this point, everything hinges on how many Lightning Pools the Tiger King can activate!"

The tribesmen all shook their head in disappointment as they spoke out.

The Thousand Demons Tribe members were all infuriated as they shot enraged glances towards Xu Que, as if they wanted to tear him into pieces with their fangs!

"Monkey, you're finished!"

"When the Tiger King concludes his Tribulations, we shall devour your monkey flesh and drink your monkey blood."

"We shall subject you to a thousand cuts, and still won't allow you to die!"

The Thousand Demons Tribe members were shouting curses across towards Xu Que.

"I shall settle this score with you later and take your damned monkey life from you!"

The brother of the Tiger King was clearly upset as well, as he couldn't control his emotions and was about to charge towards Xu Que once more. However, he was restrained by his fellow Thousand Demon Tribe members.

"Don't be impulsive. This monkey has incredible innate strengths and he's hiding just beneath the altar. Let���s ignore him for now."

"That's right. Our Tiger King has spoken. We shall collect his remains after the Tribulations is over."

"Although he only managed to conjure five waves of Tribulations, there's still the Lightning Pools which he can activate!"

"With the current powers of the Tiger King, it's even possible that he could manage to activate two Lightning Pools. If he does that, the position of Demonic King would be his."

Everyone started coaxing him as the Tiger King's brother glared ferociously at Xu Que and halted in his steps, deciding against charging forward.

Xu Que's face twitched in a smile as he started mocking him elatedly, "Come on little tiger, come and fight me! The Great Sage is waiting for you to come."

"Hmp! You can stop trying to anger me. You shall feel my wrath later on." The Tiger King's brother remained calm and shot a reply back before ignoring Xu Que.

The Sky Demon Tribe elders were stumped by the scene which had unfolded.

They didn't expect Xu Que, who was being mischievous, to successfully distract the Tiger King. Indeed, he managed to ruin the Tiger King's activation of the sixth wave and saw that he failed to do so. This caused them to feel extremely glad as they revelled in his failure.

"Good job my friend Sun!"

"Way to go!"

"Haha! Look at how the Tiger King is so exasperated in his failure. It makes me feel so good just to watch him!"

"Friend Sun, you can come back now. You've already helped out a great deal."

"Yes, come back now. You don't have to take on additional risks!"

"Return? No, no, no. I'm actually very comfortably here!" Xu Que shook his head and replied.

The elders paused in shock as bitter and helpless smiles spread across their faces. Big brother, what tricks are you up to now? You've already managed to distract the Tiger King and cause him to lose his sixth wave of Tribulations. Your mission has already succeeded. Why aren't you returning?

"Eh? What's that smell?" Su Ling'er who had finally recovered from her injuries opened her eyes and creased her brows as she asked.

Seeing her in good healths, the elders were all overjoyed.

"My Queen, have you fully recovered from your injuries?"

"That's fantastic!"

"My Queen, please counsel Sun Wu Kong and ask him to return. He can stop whatever he's doing now.'

"He managed to break the concentration of the Tiger King and caused him to lose the sixth wave. He managed to exact revenge for us!"

"But the Tiger King is about to activate the powers from the Lightning Pool. It's becoming very dangerous for him to remain under the altar."

The few of them took turns to chime in, causing Su Ling'er to feel extremely confused about the present situation. However, she managed to guess what was happening and stood up. She then looked towards Xu Que, "Sun Wu Kong, you can come back now!"

"Don't worry about me. I'm fine!" Xu Que waved his hands as he replied, clearly not minding the danger which lurked where he stood.

Su Ling'er creased her brows as she shook her head and spoke out, "Once he activates the Lightning Pool, there is a high chance that it might hit you. Based on your current strength, you might not be able to handle it and even affect your own Tribulations later!"

"Hehe… I shall let them see just who is the one who won't be able to handle it!" Xu Que smiled heartily as he continued frying the smelly tofu, causing the smell to increase in intensity.

The stench from the smelly tofu caused everyone around to retreat as they covered their mouths and noses in horror!

The Tiger King who was on the altar gave a cold laugh as he shouted out in anger, "Damned monkey, lucky that I have a technique which is able to block out foul smells. Your method has ceased to remain effective. Once I'm baptized within the Lightning Pools, I will give you a painful death!" As soon as he spoke, his entire body trembled as a wave of energy washed over him.

At the same time, he concentrated his energy and directed it towards the nine Lightning Pools beneath.

The way he did it was exactly the same as how he had conjured the six waves of Tribulations earlier. He directed his soul strength towards the Lightning Pools and activated it.

The Tiger King's aim was very simple as well. All he planned to do was to activate the currents from two of the Lightning Pools and cause the lightning to strike him. If he managed to withstand and control it, it would strengthen him tremendously. Having two additional waves from the Lightning Pool would mean that he would be in the lead for the throne.

"Indeed, the Tiger King is powerful. He could seal off his senses. Looks like the damned monkey won't be able to distract him any longer!"

"Haha! Cursed monkey, please remain seated there like the obedient pet you are and wait for your impending death!"

"Your childish games have no more impact and won't alter any endings from here on!"

"The truly victorious candidate would be the Tiger King and nobody can stand in his way!"

The Thousand Demon Tribe members started cheering and boasting once more.

Xu Que's eyebrows twitched as his lips curled into a cold smile, "You sealed off your sense of smell huh? If you're truly brave, seal off your sense of hearing as well! Guys, bring me my weapon… Pui, I mean bring the Great Sage's Qin here."

The Sky Demon Tribe's elders paused in shock. Qin? What would you want to do with the Qin at this point?

A wise old elder was astonished as he said, "My friend Sun, we didn't bring your Qin here…"

"I know. I was just saying that to put on a show. Why did you take me seriously? I have another Qin here with me." Xu Que burst out in laughter as he retrieved a Qin from the system inventory.

Su Ling'er didn't know whether to laugh or cry at this point, "Friend Sun, are you going to sing the same song now? The Tiger King isn't Xiao Yu. I don't think you can soothe him with a song."

"No, no, no. This song which I'm going to perform has a tragic and heartbreaking story. Hearing it would cause people to shed tears because it's too sad!" Xu Que laughed as he replied. He then sat down once again beneath the altar and placed the Qin on his lap. He even looked like a musician, ready to please the eager crowd!

The audience were stumped by this. What on earth was going on? Was the monkey going to play the Qin and sing a song?

The Thousand Demons Tribe watched on warily.

"What the hell is this damned monkey trying to do now?"

"To play the Qin and sing a song? Does he wish to distract the Tiger King to shatter his concentration once again?"

"It's no use. He won't be able to distract the Tiger King!"

"That's right. He still could speak rubbish about singing a heartbreaking song so sorrowful that it would cause people to shed tears. My older brother would never be moved to tears by anything." The Tiger King's brother laughed out in mockery.

The Tiger King stood atop the altar and completely ignored Xu Que. He was smiling to himself as he began to activate the Lightning Pools…

Chapter 139: A Tragic Love Story

Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation

The Tiger King had gathered all his soul strength and directed it carefully onto the Lightning Pools beneath the altar.

Xu Que gave a pensive expression as he looked up to the skies with his face tilted at a 45 degrees angle. He resembled an old man, reminiscing about his past. He then began to tell a tale, "A long time ago, there were a pair of brothers in the Tiger Kingdom. They had grown up together ever since they were little pups. They shared happy times, as well as endured sorrowful times with each other."

Tiger Kingdom? A pair of brothers?

The audience's lips curled. Son of a... Wasn't this story about the pair of Tiger brothers standing before them? This monkey really has many childish tricks up his sleeves.

Ignoring the evil glances casted by the audience, Xu Que continued telling the story as he looked completely immersed in it himself. "Whenever the brothers were free, they would run to the back of the mountains and have fun with each other. The older brother would gaze into the distance and tell his younger brother all sorts of stories regarding the strange beasts which lurks far away. The younger brother would prick his ears and listen to the gentle breeze of the winds and sing songs for his older brother, his voice sounding extremely angelic…" As he spoke up to this point, Xu Que paused and gazed into the distance. His face revealed the expressions of regret and boundless emotions.

The audience who watched on paused in shock. They started to imagine the exact scenario which Xu Que had described to them. Deep within their hearts, they thought to himself how this story sounded perfectly normal and that there was nothing strange about it. In fact, it was a rather accurate portrayal about the bond and relationship between this pair of brothers.

Looks like this story was going to be very realistic and interesting. It even looked like this monkey was speaking genuinely. Could it really be that… He's changed his attitude in such a short span of time? Maybe he realized that it was only a matter of time before the Tiger King would succeed in his Tribulations and knew that he was in deep trouble. Could it be that he fabricated a good story to depict the amazing relationship between the pair of tiger brothers to soothe their anger?

The Thousand Demons Tribe were full of suspicion. They were unable to sense the monkey's motive for telling such a story. However, they were curious to see how this story would play out. Some of their eyelids twitched as they glared at him warily.

Then, one of them had a gleam in his eyes as he shouted out, "I get it now. This monkey is trying to sow discord between the pair of brothers. Have you noticed it? He first mentioned Tiger Kingdom and said explained that their relationship was extremely close. According to how stories usually develop, I am certain that he would tell a tale about how both brothers would fight each other for the throne. Before long, they would engage in a bloody battle in order to win the throne from each other. Second Tiger, don't be influenced by his tale!"

After hearing this, the younger tiger brother seemed to have reached a realization and gave a cold laughter, "Hahaha! What a little worm. You are so childish and naive. Of course I won't fall for it! My relationship with my older brother is extremely close. We would never fall out with each other over a stupid story…"

"That's right. The relationship between these brothers are very strong. All of us are witnesses to it."

"Yes! In fact, Second Tiger would go into Tiger King's room every night and massage his shoulders for him to ease the knots in his muscles."

"Haha! Speaking of that, I recall how Second Tiger's massage skills are fantastic. Tiger King would scream out in delight every day. It would be so loud that everyone could hear him!"

"Now tell me, the relationship between both brothers are so close. How could anyone come in between them?"

The members of Sky Demon Tribe started discussing loudly, proving to everyone else that the relationship between both brothers was very strong. It was impossible that they would turn on each other.

The rest of the crowd seemed to have understood the situation as well. So it was the cursed monkey who was trying to come in between them and turn them against each other.

At this point, Xu Que seemed to completely ignore their conversation as well. He then continued speaking, as if his voice was the only one that mattered. "Maybe it was because of the long durations spent in each other's company, that both these brothers start to fall in love with each other…"

"Pu!" The demonic beasts who were drinking water spat the fluids out from their mouths.

What the hell?

Even the crowd was dazed by this turn in the story. Where was the story about both brothers fighting with each other for the throne which turned into a bloody battle against each other?

Damn it. The twist in your story was too abrupt, huh? Both these brothers actually fell in love with each other? Fuck me. Where did your exotic ideas come from?

Ai, wait a second, that's not right.

The younger tiger brother would enter the Tiger King's room every night? To massage him?

The Tiger King would scream out loudly in delight every night? His screams of pleasure would be so loud that everyone could hear him?

Fuck. This really isn't right…

Everyone in the crowd turned to look at both these brothers and were appalled.

Su Ling'er was astonished by the turn in the story and was shocked as well. Could the relationship between these two brothers really be as he described?

"No… That's not it… My relationship between my older brother and I is extremely pure!" Feeling the judgemental gazes fall upon the younger tiger brother, he started to become anxious and waved his hands in a bid to explain himself.

Even the members of Thousand Demons Tribe was stunned. They never would've expected Xu Que to tell such a tale and resort to such methods. They then realized whatever they had mentioned earlier about the younger brother giving his older brother massages every night had been severely misunderstood.

"Fellow friends, how can such an absurd and ridiculous tale exist?"

"Please do not believe this damned monkey's story. He's spouting rubbish."

"The relationship between this pair of brothers would never be what he said!"

Everyone started explaining themselves to the crowd.

However, they were the group of people who were so passionate about telling the crowd of how the younger brother massaged his older brother's shoulder every night. They even described how the Tiger King would give cries of pleasure, and how loud it was. It was way too easy for everyone to develop the wrong idea!

At this point, Xu Que continued reciting the story, "Although they knew that their love for each other was taboo and not permitted, they couldn't help themselves. One day, they decided to abandon the shackles holding them back and pursue their love for each other openly."

"Indeed, their love could never be contained or hidden. When their relationship was discovered by their father, his rage was as strong as lightning. Their mother's face was drenched in tears and their neighbours started gossipping about them. The pair of them decided to prove their love for each other was true. Seeing that they were being discriminated and held back by the morals of society and the pair of them would never be allowed to love each other openly, they had to walk along the route of the outcasts."

"In order to prove their undying love for each other, the older brother intentionally cut his ears, while the younger brother chopped off his tail…"

The older brother cut his ears and the younger brother chopped off his tail?

When everyone heard this part, their faces revealed looks of horror. They then turned their gazes towards the Tiger King on the altar, before looking down onto the Second Tiger down in the midst of the crowd.

After the birth of the demonic humans, there were many different variations in all their appearances even though they were of the same origins.

Indeed, the Tiger King had a long tail but didn't have any ears. Likewise, Second Tiger had both ears, but didn't have a tail.

Damn it! Why does this story sound more and more convincing?

Could it really be that this pair of brothers are in love with each other?

The expressions of the crowd started turning strange.

Up on the altar, Tiger King let out a loud groan. He really wanted to start shouting in anger but didn't dare to open his mouth. He decided to hold his anger in for the time being. The reason was because he had almost activated the powers of the Lightning Pools. He was just a small step away from being successful. He didn't want to be distracted by Xu Que once again and cause his efforts to be in vain.

The younger tiger brother was trembling from head to toe in apparent anger. He glared at Xu Que sinisterly without uttering a word. Killing intent radiated all across his face.

At this point, Xu Que then sighed out, "At last, when a famous musician heard about their tragic yet touching love story, he was moved. Feeling his emotions stir, he thus decided to compose a song which would break the hearts of all those who heard it."

"Ai, truth be told. That famous musician is none other than yours truly. After hearing this sorrowful love story, don't all of you feel sadness in your heart? It feels like as though there's an inexplicable sadness welling up within your chest, right? That's good. In the song I shall sing for you, you will find the beauty in the lyrics. Please listen carefully…"

As he finished speaking, Xu Que's fingers started running up and down the fretboard of the Qin. All around him stood demonic humans from all the different tribes. Be it Sky Demon Tribe or Thousand Demons Tribe, they watched him carefully. Each of them were wondering what lyrics he would sing out.
