Daughter of the Mountain
Zhang Xuezhou's flight speed after displaying the golden wings was extremely fast.
He used to think that the only drawback of using the Golden Wings was to protect against heavenly lightning, which would allow him to leave all his rivals far behind.
Unless he encounters a bird demon like the Roc Demon King who is skilled in flying, Zhang Xuezhou has very few nemesis.
But he never expected that in just a few dozen days, he would encounter his nemesis again.
Zhang Xuezhou was quite certain that the banshee chasing him was slower than him, but as she flew, she was enveloped in gales and snow, and these gusts and snow carried a biting corrosive force, directly reducing Zhang Xuezhou's ability to fly.
As the two influenced each other, his initial lead in speed gradually fell short of his opponent's.
"I'm going to die! Even a martial artist like Buddha Son Shigong was exhausted. If I were captured by this lecherous demon, wouldn't I be violated to death?!"
For some reason, images of the pitiful and tragic women of the Hunxie tribe flashed through Zhang Xuezhou's mind, and he felt that such a thing might happen to him.
"Hey beautiful, I know a lot of strong, muscular men. Would you be interested in getting to know them?"
Zhang Xuezhou always approached issues from the perspective of interests, and considering the succubus's hobbies, he had no choice but to enthusiastically recommend various burly men.
"Let me tell you, I know a strong man named Li Shaojun. He is nine feet tall, with a fair and clean body and a handsome face. Many people in Chang'an City are infatuated with him. Even the Empress Dowager of the dynasty built a house especially for him to live in!"
Regardless of whether the demoness could understand him or not, Zhang Xuezhou kept shouting and raving, using all his words to seduce her.
"I also know a burly man named Kong Anguo. He's eight feet tall and has a refined and elegant demeanor..."
After diligently introducing the twelve handsome men of Chang'an City, Zhang Xuezhou began to introduce the eighteen fierce demons of the Great Han Dynasty.
He made up stories very quickly, but the succubus behind him completely ignored him.
"You should know that Jin Wanliang was extremely handsome after his transformation, and his physical strength was three times greater than that of Buddha Son Shigong. His golden toad body made his legs extremely long, making him stand out from the crowd. He would be the perfect male concubine. Even if he spent a night with you, he wouldn't turn into a spineless coward like Buddha Son Shigong..."
"Buddha Son Shigong... you mean my husband's name is Buddha Son Shigong?"
Zhang Xuezhou's introduction of the twelve handsome men and eighteen fierce demons was of little use; the female demons were not tempted at all.
When he started boasting, he used the example of the Buddha Son Shigong as a comparison, and only then did the female demon behind him respond with a soft murmur.
"Hmm? Husband? Have you two had your wedding ceremony?" Zhang Xuezhou asked doubtfully.
"A wedding ceremony? Is that necessary for a husband?" the sorceress asked.
"Absolutely! You have to bow to heaven and earth, to your parents, and then to each other before you can become husband and wife!" Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed. "Without going through this step, you can't get him to acknowledge you no matter how many times you call him!"
"Then... I want to marry the Buddha Son Shigong!"
The female demon behind him cried out urgently. Zhang Xuezhou felt a chill run through his body as a layer of frost appeared. He didn't even have time to switch from Demon Power to Law Power protection before his body stiffened and he plummeted straight down from the sky.
But halfway down, he was caught in a gust of wind and snow and pulled back.
"Do do do!"
A pair of hands, as cold as ice, gripped his body. As the chill seeped into his bones, Zhang Xuezhou was able to see the demon's face clearly through the snow's light.
This made him pause in surprise for a moment.
Zhang Xuezhou had seen many beautiful women, and when he taught Rong Tianding, he mentioned that he should see and experience different kinds of women to avoid being easily misled due to a lack of resolve.
Beauty is undoubtedly a woman's greatest weapon; even the most wicked woman, when adorned with unparalleled beauty, can cloud judgment in many people.
Zhang Xuezhou was not outside this category either.
What came into his view was a beautiful face so fair it seemed like it could be broken with a touch. Simple white fur covered the other person's body, creating a contradictory beauty that combined innocence and wildness.
Looking at the female demon, Zhang Xuezhou felt that the Buddha Son Shigong and the female demon getting married seemed like a perfect match.
He suddenly understood the melancholy and conflicted state of mind of the Buddha Son Shigong.
Although the process was not quite as expected, and the female demon was not a normal human, her beauty was enough to satisfy a man's external desires for a woman, and even the Buddha Son Shigong would most likely agree with her.
"You, you, you... and... and the Buddhist disciple... worship in the prayer hall, I will... preside over the ceremony for you!"
Zhang Xuezhou trembled, desperately trying to preserve her chastity and life.
He was a little afraid that the succubus would become unrestrained and ravage him when she was in heat. His body could withstand it and he could accept it, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't want to be tortured to death because of it. This made Zhang Xuezhou keep trying his best to recommend her.
"I want to have a wedding ceremony!" the succubus replied briefly.
"I will officiate your wedding ceremony and act as your witness. As long as I live, your marriage will be legal and recognized," Zhang Xuezhou shouted after adjusting his posture.
"You're such a good person. It's such a pity I met you a day too late, otherwise I would have had such a hard time making a choice!"
Zhang Xuezhou finally breathed a sigh of relief when he received a "good guy" card.
He could only communicate with the female demon with great difficulty, and words had very little effect. It was only at this point that Zhang Xuezhou realized he had survived.
As the blizzard swept into the snow mountain cave, and the storm subsided, Zhang Xuezhou stood steadily at the cave entrance.
This caused the Buddha Son Shigong standing at the cave entrance to let out a long sigh.
He was very weak and couldn't escape far. When he saw that Zhang Xuezhou had also failed to escape his clutches, he felt a little relieved.
The banshee's strength is very unique. Her cultivation level is either Divine Ability or at the Sole Self Realm. While her strength may be limited in other areas, she undoubtedly has a huge advantage in this snowy place.
The Buddha Son Shigong pondered countless times, wondering if he could have defeated the demoness had he not been mistaken at the time.
But after constant calculations, he realized with dismay that no matter how he fought, he would lose.
Faced with an opponent who could control wind and snow and fly, his strength was completely useless.
Yesterday he thought he had achieved invincibility in the Divine Ability Realm, but in just one day he was utterly defeated and even humiliated. This feeling undoubtedly made him extremely frustrated.
Only when he saw Zhang Xuezhou, and pondered the possibility of seeing Zhang Xuezhou's painful yet pleasurable howls in a moment, did Buddha Son Shigong feel somewhat at peace.
"Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Buddha Son Shigong of the Western Sect. He holds a high position in the sect and is a top-tier candidate who has both good looks and strength, as well as high status," Zhang Xuezhou introduced after landing. "And we still don't know your name, lady..."
Parvati!
Upon seeing Zhang Xuezhou point at her, the succubus quickly mentioned her name.
"She said her name was Daughter of the Mountain." The Buddha Son Shigong glanced at the human and the demon, quickly translated, and asked, "What? How did you two get together? How did you manage that?"
"Daughter of the Mountain, what a beautiful name!" Zhang Xuezhou exclaimed. "This name is based on the principles of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements (metal, wood, water, fire, earth). It sounds like a perfect match for the Buddha Son Shigong."
Zhang Xuezhou ignored the Buddha Son Shigong and instead praised the female demon.
This made the succubus smile slightly, albeit shyly.
Something's not right!
The Buddha Son Shigong rubbed his eyes hard, completely unable to believe that the powerful female demon he had been struggling to handle that night could actually be shy.
He ultimately concluded that the succubus had vented her desires on him, and that she had calmed down after her heat and was able to communicate normally with him.
