Chapter Forty-Four: Lei Wei Enters the World

  After several hours.

  "What the hell, what secret method did you just use? How come it's like you've been injected with chicken blood, and suddenly you're painting wildly?" Sun Wukong sat crookedly in the water cave, curiously staring at Lei Hao.

  Lei Hao gazed at Sun Wukong with a mixture of frustration and admiration, struggling to lift his hand as he said: "That's the Thunderclap Origin I comprehended during my seclusion, it's a move that risks one's life. The physical demands for that move are too high, I can only use it once, after which I'll be unable to fight again. I thought at least it could force out your true form, but you're even more ferocious than I expected." Lei Hao's arm was covered in cracks, the entire limb looking like a broken porcelain vase that had been reassembled.

  "Haha……" Sun Wukong laughed with satisfaction, his loud and clear laughter echoing everywhere in the empty Water Cavern.

  After laughing, Sun Wukong looked up and down at Lei Hao, furrowing his brow and saying: "Your injury isn't serious, right? Just now that little fox was staring at me with eyes that were spitting fire."

  Lei Hao smiled and said, "It's nothing, I only used one move. Although the burden on my physical body was a bit beyond expectations, I can still hold on. After a few days of recuperation, I'll be fine."

  Hearing Lei Hao say it's nothing serious, Sun Wukong secretly let out a breath of relief. Under the gaze of the little fox, he really couldn't hold on anymore.

  "You'd better recover quickly, and after a while, I'll introduce you to my new friend, Cuīyún Shān Bājiǎo Dòng Niúmówáng. He's also a great hero, and he's actually from the same family as you, both of you are Ox demons." Sun Wukong said casually.

  Lei Hao thought to himself, "Isn't the Bull Demon King supposed to be at Mount Accumulated Thunder? How come he's at some Cuiyun Mountain Banana Cave?" After a moment's thought, he realized that Cuiyun Mountain Banana Cave was actually the lair of the Bull Demon King's wife, Princess Iron Fan. He thought that the old bull probably hadn't abandoned Princess Iron Fan and established his great undertaking at Mount Accumulated Thunder yet.

  In an instant, Lei Hao's mind turned over many thoughts, and finally he whispered to himself: "Pingtian Dasheng Niú Mówáng?"

  Lei Hao's voice was small, Sun Wukong didn't hear clearly, he opened his mouth and asked: "What did you say?"

  Lei Hao sneered and said: "I didn't say anything."

  After finishing speaking, Lei Hao suddenly seemed to remember and said: "Right, Monkey, I really have something to entrust you with."

  "What?" asked Sun Wukong, turning his head.

  "I'm planning to let all the brothers above the inner dan boundary in the cave go out and cultivate, but their cultivation is not enough, they can't transform into human form yet. Can your illusion technique make them take on a human shape?" Lei Hao asked with a serious face.

  This idea had been in his mind since he returned to the Water Cave, but at that time he remembered that he needed to close the door and the Water Cave couldn't be left unattended without Lei Wei sitting guard, so it could only be put aside temporarily. Now that he was out of seclusion, and wouldn't be closing the door again in a short period of time, he prepared to implement this idea.

  Lei Hao didn't want his brothers to spend their entire lives in endless battles, he wanted each of them to live out their true selves, rather than being mindless killing machines.

  "This is simple." Sun Wukong said with a big smile and put it down casually.

  Lei Hao thought carefully and then said: "You must also inform all the Qi practitioners in Ao Lai Guo that they are not allowed to capture or kill any demons with my Water Cavern Sect's waist token."

  Sun Wukong scratched his monkey face and nodded, for him this was really not a big deal.

  In the following days, Lei Hao stayed in the Water Cavern with the little fox to recover from his injuries. Sun Wukong also lingered in the Water Cavern and didn't return to the Mountain of Flowers and Fruits. He spent his days playing and fighting with Lei Da Niu and a group of demons, not feeling lonely at all. Lei Hao's injuries were indeed not severe, and after several days, he had recovered about 70-80%.

  On this day, Lei Hao's injuries finally healed. He summoned Lei Da Niu to the main hall. "Da Niu, gather all of the Inner Dan realm brothers from within the cave to the great hall, I have something to say."

  "Yes, head." Lei Daniu nodded and turned around to walk out of the main hall.

  The little fox beside Leihao gently rubbed Leihao's shoulder and asked, "Head, why gather the brothers? Are you preparing to attack that demon cave?" These words made Leihao feel uncomfortable, and in the little fox's heart, it was actually thinking this way.

  Lei Hao lightly shook his head and didn't say a word.

  On the side, Sun Wukong, who was bored and eating a peach, took over the conversation from Little Fox: "The Ox King is preparing to let them all enter the world to cultivate."

  "What is 'entering the world to cultivate'?" The little fox looked at Lei Hao with confusion, she didn't understand what entering the world to cultivate meant.

  "This time, Lei Hao spoke lightly, 'It's just letting them all live on human territory for a while.'"

  The little fox stared at Lei Hao in shock, unable to speak a word.

  Lei Hao gently patted the little fox's hand and said, "Don't worry, I've arranged everything with the monkey."

  When Little Fox heard Lei Hao say that, she stopped asking. Since Lei Hao said it was arranged, then it was arranged, and she didn't doubt it at all.

  Soon, dense footsteps sounded, and familiar faces walked into the main hall of the Water Cavern one after another.

  Lei Hao gazed at these faces that had followed him for so many years, his heart filled with emotion.

  "Everyone's here." Lei Daniu said as he stepped forward.

  Lei Hao slowly swept his gaze across the seventy or so brothers in the hall, carefully examining each face. Suddenly, he discovered that every single one of Lei Wei's brothers was present. It turned out that while he wasn't paying attention, all of Lei Wei's brothers had broken through to the Inner Dan realm.

  Sun Wukong was extremely shocked at this time, he often came and went to the Water Cavern Cave, but had never noticed before, only now did he discover that the Water Cavern Cave actually had so many inner alchemy realm demons, among more than 2,000 demons there were actually over 70 inner alchemy realm demons, this was truly unbelievable. To know that his Huaguo Mountain's several hundred thousand demon army only had a little over 200 inner alchemy realm demons, most of the strength was still extremely poor, far inferior to the Thunder Guard elite...

  "Brothers, I've called you here this time for no other reason. I, the Great King, plan to arrange for you to spend some time on the human realm of Aolai Country." Lei Hao spoke with a carefree tone, as if even after advancing to the Heavenly Immortal stage, he still had not a hint of self-awareness as a great expert or a king.

  After Lei Hao's words fell, there was a cold field of several breaths. Every brother looked at Lei Hao with surprised and puzzled eyes, thinking whether they had misheard or the one on the throne was not their own king.

  After a few breaths, it suddenly became noisy, and all the monsters were saying "Why go to Ao Lai Guo" "Does the king want to eat human flesh?" The words inside were chaotic for a while.

  "Hmm..." Lei Hao deliberately cleared his throat, and this sound immediately suppressed all the other sounds. The hall quickly fell silent. All the demons opened their eyes wide in confusion, staring at Lei Hao.

  "You bunch of soulless people, when have you ever seen me eat human flesh?" Lei Hao scolded with a burst of laughter, then continued to say: "As for why, I won't say it now, just listen to me and that's all, later you will understand."

  The monsters in the hall did not make a sound, and the puzzled expressions in their eyes had largely disappeared. "Yes, listening to the leader is always right, why ask so many questions." All the monsters believed in Lei Hao without reservation, believing in their leader.

  Lei Hao was very satisfied with their reflection, and opened his mouth to say: "Soon the beautiful monkey king will give you a spell, turning all of you into humans. You will live in the identity of humans in the proud country. On human territory, except for someone attacking you, you cannot reveal your true form, nor can you use magic power, just like an ordinary human living. As for what kind of life you will lead, you go and think about it yourself. Anyway, you won't starve to death, this group of soulless ones. From now on, every year only when it snows can you return to the mountain.

  "After finishing speaking, Lei Hao thought for a moment and said: 'The two most important points are: first, if you encounter danger, you must find a way to survive; second, you can't eat people. Whoever eats people will no longer be my brother from the Water Cavern."

  Lei Hao's eyes gleamed as he implanted a thread of divine sense into their waist badges. He continued, "If you encounter Qi Refining warriors from the Haughty Nation who try to capture you, show them your waist badge. If your life is in danger, shatter the badge, and I, the Great King, will rush over at top speed."

  Lei Hao finished handing over all the things he had handed over, and he nodded to Sun Wukong that it was okay to use magic now.

  Sun Wukong pinched a spell, swept his hand across the hall, and all the monsters inside turned into a burst of golden light that transformed into starry lights that merged into each monster's body. In the blink of an eye, the strange and bizarre monsters in the hall had all transformed into robust men.

  Each one has a plain and simple face. There are also exceptions, for example, Lei Langya became a lewd fat man with a pair of peach blossom eyes.

  Brothers, you look at me, I look at you, we are all quite awkward.

  "Head, this is too ugly, my pair of majestic tusks have disappeared, and in the future, there will be no beautiful mother pigs to look at." Only Lei Hou can talk to Lei Cuo like this. He touched his shrunk belly, with a painful expression on his face, as if this current image was not worthy of his "eternal honor" as Lei Cuo.

  Lei Hao couldn't help but rub his temples, even though he had long since given up on the aesthetics of the demon tribe. Lei Xiang's words made him feel quite annoyed. "You damn pig, you're more pleasing to the eye than before." Lei Hao couldn't resist cursing at Lei Xiang loudly, this guy's shamelessness was almost surpassing Sun Wukong's.

  Lei Hua was scolded but not angry, after more than a hundred years of getting along with them, they all understood Lei Hua extremely well. The closer they were, the more unbearable Lei Hua's scolding became, and besides, hadn't he also exchanged insults with Lei Hua when drunk?

  …………

  Outside the cave, on the school grounds, Lei Hao and Xiao Hu Li were one by one tidying up their clothes. When they were monsters, their clothes were also irregularly shaped, all slanted and sloping on their bodies, with a full body of fluff that didn't look ugly at all. Now that they had transformed into human form, each and every one of them looked somewhat like a hooligan.

  When it was almost time to leave, Leihao's heart was also extremely reluctant. After more than 100 years of inseparable companionship, they were suddenly going to be separated. Leihao's heart felt empty and hollow, as if he had suddenly lost his footing.

  Every single one of these demon kings is familiar with me, some are even as close as brothers.

  He was like an old mother at this time, nagging one by one.

  "In the future, use your brain more and don't think of using force when you're not satisfied." "Think more, observe more, learn how humans live their lives." "Like what you want to do, if you see a human woman who looks good, taking her back to Kangan Mountain is also acceptable..."

  Lei Hao instructed these brothers one by one, and after finishing with the seventy or so brothers, Lei Hao silently turned around. Xiao Hu Li stretched out his hand and tightly grasped Lei Hao's, not saying a word. Lei Hao turned his head and deeply gazed at Xiao Hu Li.

  The little fox clearly saw that Lei Hao's eyes were filled with tears...

  When Lei Hao faced all his brothers again, he returned to that carefree and mischievous state.

  "Alright, I won't see you off. From the moment you leave the Water Worn Cave, you are no longer a demon, but a human..." Lei Hao waved his hand impatiently at them.

  All the brothers didn't move, silently watching Lei Hao. Later, it was Lei Da Niu who took the lead and turned around to walk towards the school field, and all the brothers began to follow him and leave. On the school field, except for the sound of footsteps, there was no other sound, making it a bit quiet.

  Lei Douya quietly wiped away his tears and muttered under his breath, "Damn it, that beautiful sow is thinking of me."

  Under the sunset, dozens of 'humans' walked out of their birthplace and hometown, Ganquan Mountain, with tears in their eyes.
