The Leopard Demon Who Didn't Know Whether to Live or Die

The little monkey spoke to Nezha while showing him the food the other monkeys had prepared for him, as well as his favorite passion fruit wine. These little monkeys were really thoughtful.

Sun Wukong protected them, always thinking of them and treating them well, so they wholeheartedly took care of Sun Wukong. When Sun Wukong brought Nezha back Nezha a brother, they also brought out their best to entertain Nezha. When they brought them rare celestial wine as gifts, they also brought out their best and most presentable things to entertain Nezha.

"Thank you, thank you so much! I'll come visit you often and keep you company. If you're ever bullied, just tell me. Your king isn't home right now and can't stand up for you, but I'm here and I can."

Deeply moved by what I saw, I immediately patted my chest and said that I could protect and take care of them.

The little monkey didn't say much, but simply led Nezha to the pile of food so he could taste their good intentions.

Nezha didn't linger any longer. He walked over, sat down, took a jar of passion wine in one hand and the grilled fish they had prepared in the other, and began to eat heartily.

Seeing how happily the little monkeys were eating, they also began to want to use Nezha celestial wine that Nezha had brought them.

From then on, Nezha would come to Flower-Fruit Mountain and Water Curtain Cave in the Heavenly Court every one or two days to bring the monkeys the precious celestial wine and drink the Hundred Fragrance Wine they had brewed for him.

Meanwhile, many other monsters also discovered this treasure land of the Water Curtain Cave. When they learned that the king of the cave, Sun Wukong, was missing, they had evil intentions towards the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain. They wanted to drive away or enslave the little monkeys and take over this treasure land of the Water Curtain Cave for themselves.

The first discovery was made by a leopard spirit who had cultivated for nearly a thousand years. During a hunt, he accidentally discovered the Water Curtain Cave. Upon entering, he found nearly a thousand small monkeys. He was discovered after trespassing.

Immediately, two little monkeys came over with sticks, warning him to leave immediately. He didn't act rashly but waited to see what would happen. Soon, more and more little monkeys surrounded him with sticks in hand, as if they would attack him at any moment if he didn't leave. When he saw more and more little monkeys surrounding him, he realized that although there were many of them, almost none of them had any cultivation, and those who did had very low cultivation levels.

So the leopard had a wicked idea. Instead of fighting with the monkeys in the Water Curtain Cave of Flower-Fruit Mountain, he listened to them and left. After he went out, he caught his prey and took it back to his cave.

When the leopard demon returned to his cave, he found that it was simply not a place where a powerful demon like himself should live.

The leopard spirit's cave was dark and damp, with cracks in the stone walls on both sides and above. When the wind blew through these cracks, it would create a strong whistling sound, making it impossible for him to rest properly. When it rained, rainwater would seep in through these cracks, making his lair very damp. It was very uncomfortable to live there, as it was cold in winter and hot in summer.

However, while observing the monkeys in the Water Curtain Cave, he noticed during his brief visit that the Water Curtain Cave was indeed an excellent habitat. The Water Curtain Cave was well-ventilated yet not too cold, sheltered from the wind and rain, and had a pleasant climate with cool winters and hot summers.

Moreover, the furniture inside was filled with all sorts of food, which the leopard spirit found very enviable.

However, this cave has been occupied by a group of little monkeys, which is really not right. Well, in the leopard demon's opinion, this Water Curtain Cave should be a place worthy of a powerful demon like him with cultivation. Those little monkeys should live in caves like his, leading a difficult and miserable life.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the Water Lian Cave should belong to him. So he went to inquire around the Water Curtain Cave and learned that although the king of the monkeys was very strong, he hadn't appeared for more than ten years and was probably no longer there. This gave the leopard a boost of confidence and made him even more determined to take over the place.

However, this leopard spirit was very cautious. He stayed around Flower-Fruit Mountain for two days, and after releasing his aura to confirm that there were no monkeys in Flower-Fruit Mountain stronger than him or of equal strength, he chose to make his move on the third day.

On the morning of the third day, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, the leopard woke up. He could no longer contain his eagerness to claim the Water Curtain Cave for himself and drive away the little monkeys.

After leaving his cave, he ran wildly and soon arrived at the Water Curtain Cave. He rushed in and roared, startling all the little monkeys who were still asleep.

"Listen up, all of you! From this day forward, this place belongs to me. If you know what's good for you, get out of here now and don't get in my way, or don't blame me for killing you."

After waking all the little monkeys, the leopard demon began his declaration to take over the Water Curtain Cave.

"Are you really going to take over our Water Curtain Cave and kick us out?"

At this moment, the old clan chief suddenly stood up, as if he hadn't heard the leopard spirit speak.

"Didn't you hear what I said, you old monkey? If you don't get out of here, I'll kill you all."

After hearing the old monkey chieftain's words, the leopard demon replied angrily.

"That's good. I hope you won't cry later."

After glancing at the leopard demon, the old chief of the Monkey Clan said something to him and then ignored him. The old chief tremblingly took out Nezha stack of talismans that Nezha had given him from his bosom, pulled one out, placed it in the fire, and burned it to ashes.

"What exactly are you up to, you old monkey? I don't have time to waste here with you. I'll say it again, if you don't take action, you'll die right here."

The leopard demon was clearly impatient, and angrily addressed the old chieftain of the Monkey Clan and the other little monkeys.

"Hmm, has something happened at the Water Curtain Cave in Flower-Fruit Mountain?"

After our patriarch burned all the blessing cards to ashes, Nezha instantly sensed it. He knew that the monkey patriarch was asking him for help.
