Chapter 20 The Daily Life of the Monsters in Journey to the West

"Well, you and I are not opponents of Bull Demon King. We will take the opportunity to leave the night when Supreme Treasure gets married."

When Zixia heard the three words "Supreme Treasure", her eyes dimmed.

"Zixia."

Zhang Yang held her shoulders and comforted her, intending to completely untie Zixia's heart, but Zixia said.

"Zhang Yang, needless to say, I have figured it out. As long as I can be with the person I like, what does it matter if it is destined by God?"

Zixia looked at Zhang Yang's eyes and said softly.

"Do you know, I got into your heart that day, and your conscience tells me that you have a girl you love deeply, named Liu Yu, and you made a deal with Sister Qingxia."

"You said that for your spiritual fire, you promised Sister Qingxia's conditions, so that I fell in love with you and then you dumped me again. Do you know how sad I was at that time? My lover deceived me, and even you lied to me. I was the only one who was stupid. When I was injured by Sun Wukong that day, I thought you loved me."

Listening to Zixia's words, Zhang Yang finally understood why Zixia suddenly left, no wonder.

"When you saw you today, you said you were my sworn brother? You just watched me marry the Bull Demon King? And the Supreme Treasure, while telling me that he has a wife and cannot marry me, but now he is married to Bull Demon King's sister. When I saw you two, I wanted to die in pain."

Zhang Yang hugged Zixia into her arms, feeling the trembling and sobbing sounds coming from Zixia, and whispering in her ear.

"All this is my fault. I have never had time to explain to you and promise your sister's conditions. I did not abandon your idea, but wanted you to shake hands and make peace. This time, I met the Bull Demon King as soon as I woke up. What should I do?"

Zhang Yang's words finally completely untied Zixia's heart and completely accepted Zhang Yang. Zixia broke free from Zhang Yang's arms, wiped her tears, and said to Zhang Yang.

"Well, will our relationship begin?"

"Well, probably."

He officially confirmed his relationship with Zixia. Zhang Yang let down a burden in his heart. He and Zixia did not speak, and quietly snuggled together, enjoying this rare tenderness. Zhang Yang's eyes fell on Ziqing Sword. His heart suddenly moved and he took it from Zixia's hand.

"Zhang Yang. You are..."

Zhang Yang suddenly wanted to try again. He calmed down his thoughts gently, reached out to hold the hilt of the sword, and gently used force outside.

"Zheng!"

A slight metal friction sound came, and Zhang Yang did not feel any resistance and easily pulled the Ziqing sword out of the scabbard.

"It turns out... as long as you work hard, people can change God's will."

Zixia watched Zhang Yang pull out the Ziqing Sword. A subtle feeling flashed in her heart. When the two of them met for the first time, they thought of Supreme Treasure and suddenly showed a smile. Zhang Yang turned his head and happened to meet Zixia's gaze, showing a knowing smile.

"Huh, who said I can't pull out the Ziqing Sword!"

He drew out the Ziqing Sword with his own hands, proving that he was also Zixia's lover. The last flaw in Zhang Yang's heart completely disappeared, and there was no obstacle between him and Zixia. Suddenly, a sound of footsteps came from outside, and Zhang Yang and Zixia hurriedly stood up.

A woman in green clothes came over, exuding a sharp aura, glanced at Zhang Yang coldly, and asked at Zixia.

"Dead bull, who is this woman!"

"This, this..."

The Bull Demon King hesitated for a moment, suddenly looked at Zhang Yang and used a color.

"Hey, brother, who do you say this?"

Zhang Yang looked at Zixia with a smile in his eyes.

"This is my first wife."

The Bull Demon King quietly gave Zhang Yang a thumbs up, and Princess Iron Fan stopped Zhang Yang's answer, still suspicious.

"Then what are you doing? Why haven't I seen you before?"

"I am the fifth leader of the Demon King Village. I am new to you. I have met my sister-in-law."

Zhang Yang took the initiative to tell his identity. The Niu Mowang hurriedly made peace. He was about to pull Princess Iron Fan away when suddenly the Iron Fan came back, glared at Niu Mowang, and looked at Zhang Yang up and down.

"Since you are the fifth leader of the Demon King Village, you must have some skills? My decent Demon King Village will not let incompetent people be the leader, such as climbing relatives."

Princess Iron Fan was very meticulous. She didn't think that the Bull Demon King would just let someone be the fifth leader. She spoke up to test it. Zixia was a little nervous. Zhang Yang gave her a look and signaled not to worry.

"I understand a little bit of fists and feet, and I can't really see you compared to my elder brother and sister-in-law."

Seeing Zhang Yang dressed like a scholar and had a hint of elegance, Iron Fan believed Zhang Yang's words in his heart, but said in his mouth.

"Since you have joined my Demon King Village, it is not easy for me to interfere in a woman's family, but I wait for the monsters to do things differently from your mortal. There is no rule. Everything depends on strength. When your elder brother chased me and defeated the thirty-six demon kings one after another, I married him."

Zhang Yang didn't say much, but waited for Princess Iron Fan's next article.

"Since I join my monsters, I have to follow the rules of the monsters. Lao Niu, I haven't received the tribute this season, so let the fifth leader take it. First, show the generosity of my Demon King Village. With him as a human, it is always more convenient than those little demons under your command. Second, Xiangxiang must prepare more dowry when she gets married, so that she can't weaken the name of my Demon King Village."

Yearly tribute?

Zhang Yang didn't understand it for a while, but he received a system message prompt.

"The depth of plot exploration reaches 13.7%, and the special plot conditions are met, and you are suspicious of Princess Iron Fan. As an orthodox human, even if you join the circle of monsters, you need to prove your own strength."

"You triggered the Hidden Series of Missions: The Daily Life of the Monster - Receive Yearly Tribute."

"Mission Introduction: As a monster, what do you do on weekdays?

Humans go back and forth just to eat, surf the Internet, and go shopping. Monsters are different from humans. They don’t have modern technology, so they can only have some fun without any problems. For example, fighting, eating people, robbing, and collecting some protection fees. So, it’s hard to be a human being, and it’s also hard to be a monster.”

"Task objective: In order to prove your strength to Princess Iron Fan, you need to replace the Demon King Village to go to the designated village and successfully receive a tribute from villagers every year. You cannot rely on foreign aid in the middle."

"Task time: 3 days. Before Supreme Treasure and Niu Xiangxiang get married."

Looking at this system prompt, Zhang Yang understood the meaning of Sui Gong. It was probably that after a while, the monsters in the Demon King Village sent people to the village to collect protection fees. As for how they "collected", Zhang Yang could probably imagine it.

"This is to let myself be a bad guy and bully people in a big way."

With the style of these monsters, you have to kill each time you collect them. After a rough understanding, Zhang Yang could only accept the task.

"Since I have joined the Demon King Village, I am a member of the monster. I originally intended to do business for the Demon King Village and receive only a few years of tribute. I will definitely not disappoint my elder brother and sister-in-law."

"You have accepted this task. Please successfully collect annual tribute and prove to the monsters that we humans are not vegetarians."

Hearing Zhang Yang's answer, Princess Iron Fan nodded with satisfaction, then turned around and left. The Bull Demon King said to Zhang Yang embarrassedly.

"Brother, thanks to you help me to help me solve the situation. I am really embarrassed. My wife has this temper. I will trouble you with the matter of the tribute this time. I just took it back and served as a betrothal gift for my sister to get married, haha."

After the Bull Demon King left, Zixia grabbed Zhang Yang's hand worriedly and said worriedly.

"Zhang Yang, these monsters are not good people. It is not a good job to collect annual tribute for them."

Zhang Yang patted Zixia's hand and signaled her not to worry. Zixia thought for a while.

"Your skills are not too high. If you encounter a powerful monster, you can run away if you can't beat them. Never fight with them."

"Will you encounter other monsters?"

Zhang Yang frowned, Zixia nodded and said.

"This is not accurate. I have heard of this year's tribute. It is collected every six months. After the collection, the demons are not allowed to harass him here. But there are so many monsters in this world. You have left and another one. After half a year, it is common for new monsters to occupy the territory."

It turns out that collecting annual tribute is so troublesome?

Zhang Yang pinched his chin, comforted Zixia, and signaled that he would not make any noise as planned. This time, the annual tribute was just before Supreme Treasure got married. When he came back, he would just run away with Zixia directly.

After saying goodbye to Zixia, Zhang Yang returned to the farewell, grabbed a little demon, asked about the location of the Bull Demon King, and learned that Princess Iron Fan had left, so he went to find Bull Demon King.

"If you want to collect this year's tribute, you still have a lot to know, so you have to find out in advance."

Zhang Yang came directly to the hall. The Bull Demon King and the white-clothed scholar were discussing something. When he saw Zhang Yang coming in, he pulled Zhang Yang down and Zhang Yang went straight to the point.

"Brother, I'm here to ask about this tribute. I haven't learned about it before. Please tell me in detail."

The white-clothed handsome man showed a smile, but his white face looked a little gloomy. He slapped the folding fan in his hand a few times before looking at Zhang Yang.

"Fifth head of the family, these things are all related to me, please listen to me." Seeing Zhang Yang nodding, the white-clothed Xiushou continued.

"This year's tribute is a rule for our monsters. Within a radius, it is the territory of that monster. Then this demon is on his own territory and collects offerings from those mortals twice a year. After collecting the offerings of our demons, he will not go to that place to eat people."

Sure enough, it was almost the same as what Zixia said. Zhang Yang said in his heart that the white-clothed scholar looked at Zhang Yang but did not find any fear and disgust on his face. He couldn't help but feel a little more cautious in his heart.

"My Demon King Village is 800 miles in radius, and it is all the territory of the Bull Demon King. No one knows, no one knows. When we made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, our eldest brother Bull Demon King and Sun Wukong were sworn brothers. Adding the other five demons, namely: Jiao Demon King, Peng Demon King, Lion King, Macaque King, and King of Wild King, they are called seven brothers, and they are so uncomfortable."

When the Bull Demon King heard this, he smiled and said.

"I was ignorant and lived a free life with those brothers all day, until Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace. Now that Tang Monk is guaranteed to seek Buddhist scriptures in the West, there are fewer words among the brothers. Now, this monkey is going to become my brother-in-law, haha."

The white-clothed Xiushou opened the folding fan and Zhang Yang noticed that there was a long white-scale snake vaguely painted on the fan, curling on a rugged and strange rock, which looked very ferocious.
