Chapter 5 Xiong Jun, King of Ten Thousand Demons, Newborn Child of Nature
Starry Sky Forest
Core area
In this tranquil yet ominous place, beside the pristine Lake of Life, space shattered, and a terrifying aura instantly permeated the air.
Even the powerful soul beasts living in the most dangerous places immediately crouched down on the ground like frightened kittens and remained motionless after sensing this aura.
The black light gradually subsided, and the white-haired youth appeared in mid-air, followed closely by Di Tian, who was dressed in black.
"Finally back! The air in the Star Dou Great Forest is so much better."
As soon as her toes touched the ground, Ye Chenxing stretched lazily and greedily inhaled the rich life force of the lakeside.
Since arriving in the Star Dou Great Forest and being picked up by the auspicious beast, he has become accustomed to the air here.
Di Tian stood behind him, silently watching the slender figure from behind, secretly alarmed.
A human boy with no cultivation level, using only his one scale as a bargaining chip, actually managed to drain the golden tree dry right under the noses of the Shrek elders.
Even if he were to do it himself, it would be impossible for him to do it so easily.
Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Di Tian regained his usual majesty and indifference.
"You seem to be going a bit too far, human," Di Tian said calmly. "This is not a tourist attraction. If it weren't for the auspicious beast's approval of you, I would never have allowed you to set foot here, given your human status."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxing silently rolled her eyes.
"Is this how you talk to your partners?" Ye Chenxing shrugged. "And I even prepared a big surprise for you and your Star Dou Great Forest."
Di Tian raised an eyebrow and cast a questioning glance.
However, Ye Chenxing smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll keep you in suspense for now."
Di Tian snorted coldly: "You humans always like to be so secretive. The auspicious beast is just too simple-minded, which is why it was deceived by your sweet words."
Just as Ye Chenxing was about to make a rebuttal, a rough voice suddenly came from the woods not far away.
"Hey, what did I tell you? Stealing treasures from Shrek Academy isn't as easy as it sounds!"
Accompanied by heavy footsteps, a gigantic bear with an extremely large body and a dark golden sheen swaggered out, pushing aside the towering trees.
It was none other than the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, ranked sixth among the Ten Ferocious Beasts, the Bear King.
Xiong Jun glanced at Ye Chenxing with his small eyes, then looked at Di Tian and grinned in a deep voice, "Di Tian, you went to save this kid, didn't you? I, Old Xiong, saw it coming a long time ago. How dare he, a human without even a spirit ring, talk so big about stealing Shrek Academy's treasures? He doesn't even bother to think before he starts bragging."
At this point, Xiong Jun scratched his chin smugly and gestured with his large chin towards Ye Chenxing: "Kid, how about that? Got nothing, huh!"
Seeing Xiong Jun's endearing yet self-righteous appearance, Ye Chenxing wasn't angry. Instead, a playful smile curved her lips as she asked, "Xiong Jun, do you remember what you said when I left?"
"What did you say?" Xiong Jun was slightly taken aback, then had a bad feeling.
"I remember you said that if I could really steal the treasure back from Shrek, you wouldn't eat honey for the next ten years."
"Um, I think I did say that."
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenxing looked at Di Tian standing to the side with satisfaction.
Di Tian sighed helplessly, then uttered four words in a complex yet unwavering tone:
"He succeeded."
"What?! How is this possible?!" Xiong Jun's dark golden hair stood on end. "Di Tian, did I hear that right? He succeeded?"
Di Tian glanced at Xiong Jun indifferently and did not respond to him.
Xiong Jun ran up to Ye Chenxing, bent down, and carefully examined this human who was no bigger than his palm.
"Kid, tell me, how did you convince Di Tian to come and fool me, Old Bear, with you?"
Rather than believing that this weak human could single-handedly break into Shrek Academy and steal their treasures, he preferred to believe that this kid was colluding with Di Tian to deceive him.
Did he find something wrong with Di Tian?
Thinking of this, Xiong Jun secretly glanced at Di Tian with a strange look.
Suddenly, the soil on the shore of the Lake of Life began to churn strangely.
Countless thick, dark green vines burst forth from the ground, quickly intertwining and entwining, eventually transforming into a man draped in a dark green robe.
It was none other than the most powerful plant-type ferocious beast in the Star Dou Great Forest, the Demon King.
The moment the Demon King appeared, before he could even greet Di Tian and Xiong Jun, his murky eyes were fixed on the white-haired boy in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, to Xiong Jun's astonishment, this usually gloomy and arrogant king of plants actually knelt down on one knee before Ye Chenxing without hesitation!
"Old Wan, what's wrong with you?!" Xiong Jun was completely dumbfounded, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.
Although Xiong Jun, the sixth brother, usually looks down on the fifth brother, who is ranked above him by humans but only knows how to scheme and is inferior to him in direct combat, he still regards him as an equal in his heart.
But now, the Demon King's attitude towards Ye Chenxing made him unable to believe his eyes.
The Demon King completely ignored Xiong Jun's exclamation, his voice trembling violently with extreme excitement and awe:
"King of Ten Thousand Demons... greets the Child of Nature!"
Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent.
The Demon King took a deep breath, not daring to even raise his head: "I have been negligent in the past, and I hope the Child of Nature will not hold it against me!"
The Demon King felt immense regret for his previous disrespect.
But it's no wonder he was transformed. Who could have imagined that an ordinary human boy, whom he considered an ant who only survived in this perilous land thanks to auspicious beasts, would become the legendary Child of Nature?
"It's alright, I'm not that petty." Ye Chenxing smiled faintly and waved his hand casually. "Senior Demon King, please rise."
The Demon King breathed a sigh of relief, slowly stood up, and explained to Bear King in a trembling voice, "Silly Bear, you're not a plant-type soul beast, you don't understand what this means for our race. He is now the new Child of Nature!"
"If I'm not mistaken, the treasure he's eyeing is probably Shrek Academy's Golden Tree... and he's already got it!"
"What!?"
Upon hearing this, Xiong Jun's massive body trembled violently, and cold sweat instantly streamed down his dark golden fur.
If it were just Di Tian endorsing the story alone, he might have had some doubts, but now the possibility of two ferocious beasts working together against him...
He stiffly turned his head to look at Di Tian. Di Tian nodded silently with a cold face, which was taken as tacit agreement with the Demon King's words.
Ye Chenxing crossed his arms and looked at the frozen Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear with a mocking expression: "So, Bear-kun? What about that bet we made earlier about not eating honey for ten years? Does it still stand?"
Xiong Jun's bear-like face instantly turned a mixture of red and blue. After holding it in for a long time, he gritted his teeth and roared, "I, Old Xiong, keep my word! I said I wouldn't eat it, and I won't!"
But there was a sense of grievance in his tone that would break anyone's heart and bring tears to their eyes.
"Hahaha--"
Seeing Xiong Jun's constipated expression, Ye Chenxing couldn't help but burst out laughing. He waved his hand, "Alright, I won't hold it against you. How about you exchange it for something else? We won't have to deal with this punishment of cutting off your food, okay?"
Xiong Jun's eyes lit up suddenly, and he nodded repeatedly as if he had grasped a lifeline: "What do you want? As long as it's not honey, I, Old Xiong, have plenty of good stuff here!"
Ye Chenxing took two steps forward and whispered a few words in Xiong Jun's huge ear.
After hearing Ye Chenxing's request, Xiong Jun was stunned for a moment, then patted his chest with relief and said, "No problem, this thing is useless to me, I'll take care of it!" After saying that, he turned around and disappeared into the dense forest.
