Chapter 27 After the Great War

  The heavily injured "Rei Hao" stared at the little fox with his eyes, and only now did he realize that the weak and weak little fox was even more intimidating than him to those sulky brothers.

  He secretly glanced at the little fox twice, turned his head and asked Xiang Ya in a low voice: "Pig head, why are you afraid of the little fox?"

  He thought for a moment and said, "I'm quite afraid of her."

  Lei Hao was even more puzzled. The soft and weak little fox had nothing to be afraid of, he thought, and asked again: "Why?"

  "This time, Hu Ya didn't think much and honestly said: 'I offended Little Fox, so I won't have meat to eat.'"

  After listening, Lei Hao was internally injured. It turned out that his head was not as important as meat to his brothers. He sighed: "Befriending the wrong people, befriending the wrong people." At this moment, Lei Hao didn't notice the little fox beside him, feeling the gaze from the side. Lei Hao turned his head and stared at the little fox's white eyes, secretly shivering: "She won't not give me meat to eat, will she?"

  At this time, a familiar footstep came from the passage ahead, and it was Leidaoniu and his brothers who came out.

  "Head, we found this inside the stone chamber of the Purple Bat King." Lei Dabao walked in big strides and waved a book in his hand at Lei Hao.

  Lei Hao stretched out his hand to receive the scroll of Kung Fu, but he didn't open it in a hurry. Since this Kung Fu had fallen into his hands, what was the rush? Lei Hao casually threw the Kung Fu into the little fox's hands and loudly shouted: "Brothers, we've won! I killed that son of a bitch, Zi Bat King! Retreat, let's go back to the cave and drink wine and eat meat!" The sound waves rolled out and reached the Lei Zong Army outside the Bat Demon Cave. Instantly, the Lei Zong Army erupted in cheers like thunder.

  Lei Hao himself thought that taking down a seriously injured demon king was nothing, but that didn't mean other demons would think the same about him taking down a demon king. That was a demon king, not some ordinary vegetable or nameless little demon, but a powerful demon who could dominate an area and have some reputation in the human world. A strong demon king had the qualifications to occupy a great mountain and receive offerings from a country. For example, the Accumulated Thunder Mountain of the Bull Demon King received offerings from the Rakshasa Kingdom, and the Bull Demon King even won the princess of the Rakshasa Kingdom as his wife - that was what it meant to be a true demon king, not like those who occupied a mountain peak and shut themselves in, self-aggrandizing and calling themselves demon kings.

  And their great leader, their Lei Lao Da, today with the inner dan level of cultivation took down a demon king. Doesn't that represent that Lei Lao Da also has the power of a demon king? Isn't that representative of Lei Hao soon being able to build his own cave alone? As for what Demon King of Chaos? Sorry, the Lei Zong army only recognizes their great leader, their Lei Lao Da. The Demon King of Chaos? Who cares about him going to die. The brothers of the Lei Zong army are now all boiling over, as if it wasn't a calm and collected Lei Hao who took down the Purple Bat King, but rather they themselves.

  Lei Hao used his index finger to dig into his nostrils, turned his head and asked Zuo Ya: "Pig head, is it glorious to ambush and kill a seriously injured person? Why are these goods more excited than me?" The tone of the question was on his face, but it was an expression of come on, praise me, worship me.

  The honest face of the old man paused for a moment, thought for a few seconds and asked weakly: "Head, can I tell the truth?"

  Lei Hao swept his hand and said, "Of course, you tell the truth, I won't blame you for being disgusting." The smug expression had already begun to creep onto his face.

  "Head, pretending to be cool will get you struck by lightning." The sarcastic words highlighted the sinister look on his normally honest face.

  Lei Hao's expression was also a mess. "Damn it, your sister..." Lei Hao kicked out.

  When Lei Hao's foot was halfway out, Yao Ya had already hidden behind Xiao Hu Li. Meng Mei Zi looked at Lei Hao with a questioning expression as he actually kicked towards Yao Ya's surface and kicked her foot. Lei Hao awkwardly withdrew his foot and when Xiao Hu Li wasn't paying attention, he mouthed several words to Yao Ya: "Scorpion Cave", Yao Ya saw it and 'her tiger body shook'...

  …………

  "Come on... burp, you guys... you all fell me... burp I won't get drunk..." In the Water Curtain Cave, Lei Hao was belching and provoking Lei Wei's brothers.

  Similarly drunk, Lei Daniu waved his hand and shouted: "Brothers... shoulder to shoulder, up! Head... head can't take it anymore, up!" As soon as the words fell, several burly figures crawled out of the ground and launched their 101st attack on Lei Hao.

  "Head, feel... deeply emotional, one mouthful... one mouthful of suffocation." As soon as I heard this lifeless voice, I knew it was that good-for-nothing Fangs.

  Dizzy and disoriented, Lei Hao leaned against the wine jar, struggling to steady himself. Once he saw it was the wine jar, he smashed it directly onto the head of Zhu Tou, then let out a miserable howl: "Pig... pig head, you bastard... can't you change your way of speaking? You're making me drink... twenty jars..."

  He narrowed his small eyes and looked at Lei Hao with a slanted gaze, wiping the strong wine in front of him with his left hand, saying with a sinister tone: "Boss, you still... want me to go to that Scorpion Demon Cave?" It turned out that this guy had been remembering this matter all along.

  "Get out of my sight...!" Lei Hao roared defiantly, grabbing a jar of strong liquor and forcing it down: "Come on... come on, who's afraid... who?" The wolf-like teeth gleamed with a pair of small eyes, sinisterly 'heh-heh' laughing.

  A pair of trotters with bristly hairs stretched out.

  Gan Liehao's hooves stretched out.

  Then came a long series of 'glug glug' drinking sounds.

  Lei Hao had no idea how many jars of wine he had drunk, relying on his powerful magic to overwhelm the entire Lei Wei brothers. Who knew that this group of dullards had actually learned their lesson? In the second round, they surprisingly adopted a rotational drinking strategy, with some drinking while others rested, and those who finished resting continuing to accompany Lei Hao in drinking. At this point, even Lei Hao's powerful magic couldn't squeeze out a full-blooded intoxication.

  As he drank, Lei Hao's eyes rolled back, his hand relaxed, and the wine jug slipped from his grasp, hitting him squarely on the forehead without even ruffling a single hair, and just like that, Lei Hao was knocked out in a most elegant manner.

  A little fox who had not even touched the wine yet, pitied Le Hao and went forward to support him. With a slightly reproachful look at Le Wei's brothers, she took out a coarse cloth handkerchief from her body and gently wiped away the wine from Le Hao's head. Her expression was full of tenderness. She knew that Le Hao would be fine, even if he were to drink another hundred jars of strong wine, he would only sleep for two more days. However, seeing Le Hao drink like this without regard for his own well-being made her heart ache a little.

  She thought she knew Lei Hao well, having followed him for over a hundred years without leaving his side. The little fox was the one who understood Lei Hao's everything, but she also felt that she didn't understand Lei Hao at all. At least, she couldn't decipher the dense and unexplainable sadness that occasionally flashed in Lei Hao's eyes, nor did she understand why he would drink recklessly after returning from a great victory today. Lei Hao said it was because he was happy about winning, but the little fox thought otherwise, not entirely.

  The little fox slowly wiped away the liquor on Lei Hao's face, cleaning up every drop of strong wine, and then carefully combed out Lei Hao's tangled long hair strand by strand. Afterwards, she gently picked up Lei Hao and turned to head towards his living quarters, ignoring the brothers who were still drinking.

  The little fox walked lightly, with the several hundred jin heavy Lei Hao in her hands as light as nothing. The flickering flames inside the Water Curtain Cave cast a mysterious glow on Lei Hao's face. Drunken Lei Hao's complexion was quiet, like that of a sleeping infant. There was no stubbornness from his desperate training days, nor the ferocity from the battle with the Snake Demon, nor his usual mischievous look, just quietly closing his eyes. The little fox thought, this is the real Lei Hao.

  Lei Hao's calm face suddenly furrowed his brow, as if he had thought of something unpleasant. The little fox gently stroked Lei Hao's furrowed brow with one hand, and looked at the calm Lei Hao with a satisfied smile. At this moment, she was undoubtedly very satisfied, as long as she could be with Lei Hao, she was the most satisfied.

  The little fox walked very carefully, as if afraid that a slight jolt would wake up the quiet Lei Hao on her hands. She walked like this, tilting her head to look at Lei Hao while walking lightly. After just a few steps, Lei Hao suddenly stretched out his hand and hugged the little fox tightly, his whole body trembling with fear, scaring the little fox into confusion.

  Lei Hao trembled for a moment before starting to cry softly, his warm tears seeping through the thin clothes of the little fox and into its heart, so bitter, so helpless.

  After more than a dozen seconds, Lei Hao's crying grew louder and louder, finally bursting into loud wails like a bullied child.

  "Dad... Mom... Little Hao is scared... There's a monster that wants to bully Little Hao... He wants to kill Little Hao, it hurts so much... it hurts so much... Little Hao is scared... Where are you?" Lei Hao wailed loudly, his hands grasping at the air as if searching for his parents' sleeves.

  This intermittent sound made Little Fox even more confused. Dad? Mom? What is that? Xiao Hao? Is it referring to himself?

  "Waaa...Dad...Mom...Xiaohao misses you so much, Xiaohao wants to see you again..." Leihao continued to wail loudly.

  "Waaah... Xiao Hao is scared, Xiao Hao wants to go home...... Xiao Hao wants to sleep......" Lei Hao's face was now so sorrowful, just like an abandoned child.

  Lei Hao has been in the Journey to the West world for over a hundred years, from being a small cow demon with no self-defense power at first to becoming the commander of two thousand elite demon soldiers who dare to kill the Demon King's doorkeeper after more than a hundred years. He has experienced too many things.

  But the monotonous life in the mountains did not erase the memories of his past twenty years, but instead made those precious memories clearer and clearer. Clear to the point where Leihao could remember every expression of his parents, every scolding; clear to the point where Leihao could remember the position of every object in that small home. How many times in the middle of the night did Leihao involuntarily shout: "Mom, I'm hungry!" After waking up, he would look at the dark top of the cave and silently shed tears, constantly telling himself: can't go back, can't go back.

  Lei Hao's parents, Lei Hao's home, is the eternal warm harbor in Lei Hao's heart, always warming him from the bottom of his heart.

  He wants to become stronger, but this does not contradict his thoughts of longing for his family. He is Niu Ye Lei Hao, and also, Lei Hao. Always has been.

  Looking at the loudly wailing Lei Hao, the little fox's heart ached and couldn't stop shedding tears as it tightly hugged him. The soft small hands kept stroking Lei Hao's broad back. The little fox's hot tears dripped 'plop' 'plop' onto Lei Hao's face. Lei Hao slowly stopped crying, also hugging the little fox tightly. In the little fox's embrace, he found a sense of home, warm and safe... Lei Hao fell asleep in this tight hug, just like he hadn't slept for over a hundred years.

  The little fox hugged Lei Hao tightly, activated its magical powers with both feet, and gently floated into Lei Hao's bedroom...
