Chapter 51 Fall! Fall! Fall!
"Gou Ji, right?"
The yellow dog demon muttered to itself, feeling something was off.
Lu Changgeng wanted to laugh, but he was a professional and usually didn't laugh unless he couldn't help it. He waved his hand and said, "It's not Gou Ji, it's Gou Ji. Ji means beautiful woman."
The yellow dog demon's eyes lit up: "Gou Ji? That's a good name. I thank the immortal for bestowing this name upon me."
Okay, you should thank us...
Lu Changgeng coughed lightly to conceal his smile and said, "I have matters to attend to right now and cannot take you with me. You should stay here in Xianglan Ravine for now and get used to this new body. The spring's flow is still there, and I will definitely return in the future. If you still want to come with me then, we can talk about it."
Although Gou Ji was somewhat disappointed, she did not press the matter further and could only nod and say, "This concubine will wait for the Taoist priest."
After Lu Changgeng finished giving his instructions, he stayed there for half a day, asking Gou Ji about some of the techniques she had used to intimidate people before turning around and leaving Xianglan Stream.

Flying back, Lu Changgeng planned to go to Xingdou Mountain to see what kind of background that rabbit spirit had, and also that ape demon king. He wondered if he was just putting on a show or if he was really in cahoots with Wansheng the Mudfish and wanted to catch him.
However, before going, he still had to find the long-eared and yellow-haired wolf demon that the wolf demon had mentioned.
We need to understand the situation of Xingdou Mountain first. Only by knowing ourselves and our enemy can we win every battle.
Before long, he arrived above the bamboo forest where the wolf demon armor had met them.
It was already evening when Lu Changgeng quietly descended from the clouds, using the same trick as before, transforming into a cloud of mist that floated by.
He spread out his divine sense and examined carefully. Unexpectedly, he quickly locked onto two demonic auras several miles away. They were the long-eared rabbit demon and the yellow-haired rat demon that Wolf Demon A had seen in the bamboo forest a few days ago.
The two demons were resting on a large rock by the mountain path, looking exhausted after patrolling a forest.
Lu Changgeng approached silently, transforming into a wisp of extremely faint water vapor, hiding in the shadow of the tree canopy.
The two little demons were completely unaware and were chatting casually.
With a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, the blond-haired man fanned himself with his sleeve: "This job really wasn't done by the demons. Our king did too, treating us like cattle and horses just to curry favor with the Ape Demon King."
Long-eared Man leaned against a crooked old pine tree and sighed, "What can we do? We're the lowliest. I heard the Ape Demon King has taken a fancy to a fox spirit, and he's in a fit of rage right now. I shudder to think what will happen to us if we can't find her..."
"Should we not go back then?"
"It'll be even worse if you don't go back. Have you forgotten about Hua Dupi, whose neck was broken by the King's kick a while ago? If you dare to run, you'll be caught and sent straight to meet the King of Hell in less than three days."
Yellow Hair spat: "I was just kidding, don't scare me... Where did that red-haired Taoist priest go? If I find him first, hehe, three spirit fruits are enough for me to exchange for a lot of wine, and I can drink like an immortal until I lie down and cross the Bridge of Helplessness every day."
The two complained a few more times, then got up and continued searching.
Lu Changgeng did not follow. He already understood the conversation between the two. With a thought, he turned and flew towards the mortal market.
When I returned, there was a new stall selling wild fruits at the fork in the road beside the mountain path.
The stall owner was a short, dark-skinned young man dressed in black, with an ordinary, dark complexion, looking like a villager. He was arranging a pile of wild fruits, which he had picked from who-knows-where, on a bamboo tray.
The wild berries are brightly colored like blood, and their fragrance is irresistible.
After completing their patrol, Huang Mao and Chang Er were about to head back to Soft Bone Cave to report when they suddenly stopped and began sniffing around.
"It smells so good! What's that smell?"
"It smells like a spirit fruit!" The long-eared nose twitched even faster.
The two demons followed the scent of fruit, running all the way until they reached a fork in the mountain path, where their eyes lit up instantly.
He immediately ran to the stall of the young man in black, his eyes shining as he stared at the few wild fruits.
The young man in black was terrified, his face filled with fear, and he cried out, "A...a monster..."
He was about to pick up some wild fruit and run away.
Yellow Hair and Long Ears quickly blocked their way, shouting, "Don't run, don't run! We're good demons, we don't eat people... we only eat fruit!"
How could the young man in black outrun two demons? He trembled and collapsed to the ground.
"A hundred-year-old spiritual fruit! They actually have a hundred-year-old spiritual fruit!"
Yellow Hair and Long Ears ignored him, squatting in front of the stall, their eyes wide open, their gaze fixed on the few wild fruits.
"You...you're going to steal...steal my fruit?"
At this moment, the blond-haired demon stood up: "We are good demons, we don't steal. How much are these fruits? We'll take them all. Are there any other fruits?"
"These are just a few I picked from the mountains. I don't know how much they cost, you can give me whatever you think is appropriate. Winter Solstice is coming soon, and I just want to buy my wife some new clothes."
The blond-haired man and the long-eared man exchanged a glance, and the former laughed, "New clothes, huh? No problem, I have enough money for you to buy new clothes."
After saying that, the two demons took out coins and bought the wild fruit.
The young man in black exchanged the money but didn't leave; he just quietly watched the two demons.
The two demons, overjoyed at receiving the spiritual fruit, paid no attention to him.
The blond-haired man grabbed the blood-red fruit, brought it to his nose, and took a deep breath, his expression one of pure bliss.
Long-eared one picked up a piece and smelled it, then suddenly felt his eyelids getting heavy and his tongue getting tied in knots.
Upon seeing this, the young man in black clapped his hands and laughed, "Down! Down! Down!"
The long-eared creature turned its head at the sound, but before it could say anything, it collapsed to the ground.
Huang Mao was shocked to see this and was about to say something when everything went black and he collapsed.
The young man in black laughed heartily, then transformed into a man in black robes and with black hair—it was Lu Changgeng!
He had planned to intercept the two demons here and lure them with the True Spirit Fruit, but he had instead applied an intoxicating fruity fragrance to the surface.
Although it is not poisonous, it is more potent than poison. It was discovered by chance on a sacred tree in Pansiling many years ago.
Just a whiff of it is enough to make someone drunk.
If you eat it, you might get so drunk you never wake up.
Whether these two demons pass out drunk or die from it all depends on their own fate.
Seeing the two demons lying on the ground, Lu Changgeng was about to drag them into the depths of the dense forest to switch them out when he suddenly had an idea and stopped.
He had to impersonate one of the two demons to go to the Soft Bone Cave, so he had to act very convincingly, since he didn't know them very well.
And if you want to understand them, there's no better way than to obtain the memories of the two demons.
As for acquiring memories... hehe, he is the Cleansing Spring, and now he has also obtained the source of the Fragrant Cold Spring, which can transform male demons into female demons. Wouldn't it be perfect to test them out?
He picked up the two unconscious monsters, one in each hand, and soared into the air.
A moment later, inside an unnamed abandoned cave.
Lu Changgeng transformed into his true form, manifesting a spring in a depression within the cave.
Immediately, the demonic infant emerged from the bottom of the spring. With a thought, the white light beads surrounding its body began to emit a cool aura.
The spring water, which was originally tinged with crimson, turned into a pool of cold spring water as white as milk in the blink of an eye, just like the Xiang Leng Spring deep in Xianglan Ravine!
