Chapter 7: I'm a Fool
Cao Xing buried the inner core and left the cave before his brothers woke up.
Cao Xing walked very slowly, stopping frequently, and occasionally squatting down to stare blankly at the ground.
Occasionally, some small monsters would walk past him, but they would pretend not to see Cao Xing.
However, Cao Xing keenly noticed that the little monsters in the cave were patrolling more frequently.
Cao Xing quietly wandered to the vicinity of the alchemy room and glanced at it from a distance, only to find that the door was tightly closed.
A little demon patrolled left and right at the entrance.
It seems that after what happened with Baihuaxiu, Huangpaoguai has become more cautious, and it will probably not be easy for him to sneak into the alchemy room again.
Upon seeing this, Cao Xing immediately left and stopped lingering near the alchemy room.
This is troublesome.
Cao Xing squatted expressionlessly in a corner, analyzing the current situation in his mind.
The Yellow Robe Monster's methods are too reliable.
Losing one's inner core is a matter of life and death. If it were any other demon, they would have been frantic, digging up the ground and searching every nook and cranny. But the Yellow Robe Monster hasn't revealed that he lost his inner core.
No!
We can't follow the Yellow Robe Monster's lead, or we'll all die.
Cao Xing's heart tightened. He had to find a way to expose the fact that the Yellow Robe Monster had lost his inner core. Only by creating chaos could he have a chance to profit from the chaos.
Cao Xing was squatting on the ground, deep in thought, when he suddenly heard someone approaching from behind.
"That slut, I don't know if the king has drunk too much fake wine, how could he have taken a fancy to her?"
"Before, Baihuaxiu was enough, but now the third son is in charge. Life is tough for him."
Just then, two people walked by, grumbling as they went.
Cao Xing glanced at it sideways; he didn't recognize it, but he had seen it before.
Yesterday, the Yellow Robe Monster summoned all his concubines to Baihua Xiu's room, including two of them.
One of the two female demons was wearing a willow leaf cloak, and she was the willow demon who was used as a tool to beat up by the yellow-robed monster yesterday. The other had golden hair and blue eyes, and Cao Xing couldn't tell what kind of demon she was, but her appearance and those eyes were exactly the same as Bixia's.
Yesterday, when Bixia was summoned away by the Yellow Robe Monster, her gaze seemed to fall on this golden-haired female demon. Could it be... that this is Bixia's mother?
All that could be heard was the two women grumbling incessantly.
"That slut is still in the alchemy room and hasn't come out yet. She's probably still making love with the king."
"This land has been dry for three years without watering, so let's give it a good soaking... Hahahaha."
As they were talking, the two women suddenly noticed Cao Xing squatting in the corner. They stopped in their tracks, and the willow demon's face showed disgust: "You scared me. I thought you were some kind of toad."
After saying that, she stepped forward and kicked Cao Xing, knocking him to the ground. Fortunately, the blonde banshee saw this and quickly stopped her, saying, "Don't hit him, don't hit him."
Seeing this, Liu Yao looked at her with surprise: "Fifth Sister, you're not a weasel spirit, so how come you've developed a heart of compassion?"
Bai Yaolu was not annoyed by this, but explained, "Sister, I'm afraid that if you hurt him, the King will inevitably fly into a rage again."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yao said dismissively, "It's just a fleshy fetus. Baihua Xiu can give birth, so it's not like I can't. I've given birth to three for the King."
"Alas, that's not how it works," Bai Yao, known as Fifth Sister, said disdainfully. "You gave birth to a demon fetus, so how can you compare it to a human fetus? The King has abducted so many women, but apart from Bai Huaxiu, only she became pregnant. The others were all used as food. This baby is precious."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yao immediately became indignant and complained, "Hmph, if Your Majesty wants human fetuses, it's simple. Baihua Xiu's hometown, Baoxiang Kingdom, is not far from here. It's full of human fetuses. We can give you as many as you want. I doubt that old king would dare not refuse."
"Oh dear!" Bai Yao quickly stopped Liu Yao, "Sister, don't talk nonsense. That won't do. His Majesty has repeatedly ordered that people not be kidnapped and that the livelihood of the country not be disrupted. This is absolutely unacceptable."
Willow Demon sighed, "They're all demons, so why does the Great King seem like a monk hiding here in ascetic practice? How boring."
Seeing her resentful expression, Bai Yao's eyes darted around, and she lowered her voice, saying, "If you want to have some fun, why don't you come with me to find Fourth Sister?"
"Her? That old clam?" Liu Yao looked at Bai Yao in confusion. "What kind of fun could she possibly have?"
Bai Yao covered her mouth and chuckled: "Fourth Sister has a treasure called the Shadow Pearl. It records all the scenes of her making love with the King. It's wonderful."
Upon hearing that such a treasure existed, Liu Yao was overjoyed: "Oh my! Such a treasure! Quick, take me to see it!"
"Look how impatient you are."
Bai Yao poked Liu Yao's head with her hand, then pulled Liu Yao away.
He didn't pay any attention to Cao Xing, who was squatting on the ground, from beginning to end.
Like the Yellow Robe Monster, who would care about such a fool?
Projection beads!
Cao Xing watched the two women's departing figures, and his heart stirred with curiosity, so he simply followed them.
Cao Xing walked very slowly, and whenever he encountered a group of maids along the way, he would grin and stare at the demoness's chest, drooling.
The maid in green, seeing his simple and silly appearance, was not annoyed. She just smiled and said, "If you want to eat apricot juice, I don't have any. Go forward, and I guarantee you can eat your fill of apricot juice from the Fourth Lady."
After saying that, she pointed him in the direction of Fourth Sister's cave.
Cao Xing glanced in the direction they were pointing, then walked toward Fourth Sister's cave with a look of half-understanding.
"How dare you, you foolish thing! If you really anger Fourth Madam, aren't you afraid...?"
Seeing that he was actually walking towards the Fourth Mistress's chamber, several maids nearby immediately frowned and said something.
Upon hearing this, the maid in green said nonchalantly, "So what? We'll just beat him up. What trouble can a fool like him cause?"
The other maids thought about it and agreed; what kind of trouble could a simple-minded child possibly cause?
As the sound of flowing water grew louder, Cao Xing paused, and saw a huge river clam leaning against a pool of water.
Three women sat together on the clam. In addition to the two female demons we had just seen, there was a voluptuous female demon lying in the middle.
The three chatted and laughed, whispering among themselves, their faces flushed and their eyes sparkling, seemingly discussing something.
Cao Xing squatted silently in the corner.
At this moment, the female demon known as Fourth Sister opened her mouth and spat out a pearl the size of an infant's fist. As soon as the pearl came out, it released a rainbow light that shone on the cave wall.
Suddenly, a soft moaning sound was heard.
Hearing the noise, Cao Xing couldn't help but peek out. He was surprised to see what he saw and secretly chuckled.
Wow! This yellow-robed monster looks rough, but I never expected it to be so exquisite.
The scene changed every three minutes, which made Cao Xing think to himself, "People have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves."
Cao Xing then withdrew his head and squatted down to the side, pondering in his heart.
This thing is a treasure; if I could get my hands on it, it might come in very handy.
"Splash! Splash!"
Just then, a splashing sound came from behind. Cao Xing popped his head out and saw that the three female demons had taken off their clothes and were playing around in the water, pinching and grabbing each other.
Cao Xing had no interest in appreciating the erotic scene; his gaze was fixed on the pearl resting on the clam.
After watching for a while, Cao Xing suddenly slapped his forehead.
What am I thinking? I'm a fool, and fools should do foolish things.
Thinking of this, Cao Xing suddenly felt a sense of clarity and simply walked out from behind the stone, heading straight towards the three female demons.
The three female demons were also startled by Cao Xing's sudden appearance.
But when they saw that it was Cao Xing, the three female demons were not flustered at all. Bai Yao scolded, "This blind fool, why did he follow us? He should have been taught a lesson earlier."
Liu Yao, standing to the side, smiled and said, "Since they've come to us of their own accord... why not..."
The three women exchanged glances.
"That's not a good idea." The clam spirit lowered its head, but its eyes were full of anticipation, after all, the yellow-robed monster's visits were too short.
Bai Yao stared at Liu Yao and laughed, "How did you even come up with that?"
Liu Yao just chuckled, then swam up to Cao Xing and beckoned to him: "Fool, come here quickly, I'll give you candy."
Upon hearing the word "eat," Cao Xing grinned foolishly, his eyes scanning Liu Yao's chest up and down.
"Fool, come here, the candy here is really sweet."
Liu Yao waved her hand, signaling Cao Xing to hurry up. Cao Xing just grinned foolishly at the girl's enthusiasm, but instead of walking towards Liu Yao, he strode over to the old clam.
Before the three demons could react, he grabbed the pearl that was placed there and stuffed it into his mouth.
Cao Xing stuffed a pearl the size of a baby's fist into his mouth. By the time the three women came to their senses, Cao Xing had already swallowed it.
