【Kind Brows Conceal Benevolence, Gentle Eyes Hide Sharpness】
【Miraculous Dharma Aids Heroes, Conscience and Karma Endure】
After confirming he would enter the world of Black Myth, An Wu’s surroundings once again shifted in a cosmic turn. When he opened his eyes again.
He was back on the winding ancient path, the soil beneath his feet soft. The sun was high in the sky, and birds chirped from time to time in the mountains. It felt quite reassuring.
The scent of incense wafted into his nostrils.
An Wu silently looked at the small land temple beside him, where incense smoke gently rose.
“Little monkey, you’re in such a hurry. You didn’t even rest before coming to ask for that demon’s essence?”
A wisp of white mist accompanied the rising incense.
A stooped, aged figure slowly emerged from the mist. His voice was kind, like that of a revered and amiable elder.
He wore a deep blue robe, his skin like gnarled branches. His eyes were hidden, one hand held a walking stick, the other a worn-out pipe.
Perhaps his tone and gaze towards An Wu were like those of a senior looking at a junior.
And this.
Was the Land Deity of Black Wind Mountain.
“Don’t you think that this old man will covet your demon’s essence?”
The Land Deity of Black Wind Mountain’s tone was teasing.
Like an old prankster.
...
“No.”
“It’s just that this demon essence is very useful to me.”
An Wu shook his head.
This Land Deity was the first god he had encountered in this world of Black Myth who had helped him. Although it wasn’t just helping him, it was with that one’s slight instruction.
Thus, it was likely that he had helped many Heaven’s Chosen ones.
But this did not hinder An Wu’s respect for him. Having learned his spells and received his brief guidance, he was already indebted to him.
...
“Hasty little monkey, take it.”
“With this, your journey ahead should be easier.”
The Land Deity of Black Wind Mountain gently blew a puff of air, and a deep purple, large-headed doll-like spirit essence returned to An Wu’s hands.
And in An Wu’s visible essence bar, the words “Spirit Essence” appeared.
...
“Thank you.”
An Wu slightly clasped his fists towards the Land Deity. Then, without lingering, after briefly choosing to replenish his state and the Striving Red Gourd.
He chose to log off directly, waiting to properly rest before continuing to explore the path ahead.
After all, there was a long distance to the next Land Temple, and Black Myth time synced with reality. It would take at least until tomorrow morning to get there.
It was clearly not suitable to rush into exploration now.
...
In a flash of light.
An Wu was already back on the sofa in his rented apartment.
His mind stirred slightly, and a panel that only he could see sprang into existence.
...

【Instead, it attached itself to the gold, silver, and copper coins he had hidden in his former days, becoming a delirious spirit, constantly disturbing the mountain grounds, never at peace】
...
“The Golden Sea has not yet dried up.”
An Wu shook his head.
This large-headed doll essence was the soul of Elder Jin Chi, from the Guanyin Zen Temple in the original Journey to the West, who would later appear when he struck the three great bells. He would also meet the real Elder Jin Chi then.
He wondered if these two essences could be combined then?
Well, he’d deal with that when he reached the Guanyin Zen Temple later.
...
“It’s almost eleven o’clock?”
“Time to rest.”
An Wu stretched, turning towards his bedroom.
He had promised the little angel to sleep early, so he would honor that promise and rest early.
He was a little sleepy, too.
As he walked, he also swiped open the 【Interstellar Girls Mutual Aid Association】group chat, habitually prepared to scroll through it.
This was a habit he had developed before he crossed over, and he hadn’t changed it in the past three months. It was just that he used to habitually look at the Japanese LINE chat before bed, now it was looking at the 【Interstellar Girls Mutual Aid Association】 group chat.
But as soon as he opened the group chat, the 99+ messages were right there, quite lively.
It seemed.
A lot had happened in the time he went to the world of Black Myth to retrieve the Spirit essence.
...
【Detecting group member - Not Wanting to Be Sister’s Little Sister - posting a mutual aid task】
【Interstellar Girls Mutual Aid Association concept triggered】
【Please group members quickly provide mutual aid】
【Given the imminent life-or-death crisis, the Association is issuing a task】
【Upon successful completion - you will receive a reward of 100 points】
【Task begins in 30 seconds】
【Two can voluntarily sign up in 30 seconds. If no one signs up after 30 seconds, two will be randomly selected】
【Want to be a Little Fox for a Sugar Daddy】：“@Not Wanting to Be Sister’s Little Sister”
【Want to be a Little Fox for a Sugar Daddy】：“The Demon Slayer novel plot has been uploaded. The location of your sister’s side is not detailed in the novel, so you still have to try to get there as soon as possible.”
【Want to be a Little Fox for a Sugar Daddy】：“The other group members will also directly descend beside you then.”
【Want to be a Little Fox for a Sugar Daddy】：“So, anyone interested in signing up?”
Su Xiao Li was ready to go to sleep. After all, she’d watched enough of Aqua and Elrika’s antics, and these two had even become increasingly close to each other.
But she didn’t expect that the new member who had never spoken up suddenly came online and sent a message.
Then Su Xiao Li gradually found out the identity of this new member through introductions and searches, and it was none other than Butterfly Shinobu from 【Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba】.
And even more coincidentally, according to their multiple confirmations, Butterfly Shinobu’s current time period.
Was the time when her sister, Butterfly Kanae, was killed by Upper Rank Two, Douma!
And even more coincidentally, the 【Interstellar Girls Mutual Aid Association】 had spontaneously appeared and issued related tasks, further proving the authenticity of this incident.
...
【Love the Smell of Incense】：“What happened?”
【Dislike Pumpkin’s Cannon Loli】：“Check the previous chat records, the Association issued a task again.”
【Want to be a Little Fox for a Sugar Daddy】：“Yes, there’s a task, Monkey Brother, are you coming?”
【Love the Smell of Incense】：“Not sure, I’m a bit tired. I just finally collected Elder Jin Chi’s soul, now I feel completely relaxed~”
An Wu wasn’t lying. This Spirit that had been haunting him for two months was finally killed, and he felt completely relaxed.
There was an indescribable sense of accomplishment, but fatigue also came with it.
...
【Want to be a Little Fox for a Sugar Daddy】：“???”
【Want to be a Little Fox for a Sugar Daddy】：“Elder Jin Chi? Isn’t he just an ordinary person? You’re a monkey from Flower-Fruit Mountain, how can you be so tired collecting the soul of an ordinary person?”
【Want to be a Little Fox for a Sugar Daddy】：“Monkey Brother, you.......”
Su Xiao Li had also revisited the Journey to the West from her childhood because of An Wu.
So she naturally knew Elder Jin Chi’s identity.
But wasn’t he just an ordinary monk?
...
【Love the Smell of Incense】：“......”
【Love the Smell of Incense】：“Forget it, I can’t explain it for a while. I signed up for the task, next time you have a task in your world, I’ll bring Elder Jin Chi’s soul to take a look around too!”
An Wu’s face turned black. He didn’t know how to explain it for a while. He even wanted to spit blood!
He was originally wondering if he should go to the Demon Slayer world late at night, after all, he was pretty tired.
But now he suddenly felt like going. No other reason.
He just wanted to test Elder Jin Chi’s strength. Definitely not to intimidate Su Xiao Li!
Absolutely not!
