Volume 1: Crossing the Water Cavern Chapter 134: Encountering the Savage Couple

  Lei Hao wandered aimlessly, without direction or route, only releasing his divine sense to sweep over the territory he passed through again and again.

  All along the way, he passed through many cities and encountered many strange things, but at this time, Leihao didn't even have the mood to stop and rest.

  "It's been... " He didn't know how long it had been, but Lei Hao still habitually used his divine sense to scan the city in front of him. Suddenly, he discovered that there was a very familiar aura in the city. He raised his head and looked, and then froze.

  This city, it turned out to be the one where Lei Hao had brought Wu Lei and others to play back then, and met Xiang Ya. It was actually the place he had unknowingly returned to, Dong Sheng Shen Zhou, and walked in front of this very city.

  Lei Hao hesitated for a long time outside the city before finally letting out a soft sigh and slowly walking towards the city gate.

  "Halt! Are you a young man from a good family? Don't you know that you have to pay the head tax to enter the city?" In front of the city gate, there were seven or eight soldiers collecting the head tax from the passing common people. A small-headed soldier with a face full of flesh saw Lei Hao walking towards the city in such an imposing manner and shouted loudly at him.

  Lei Hao turned his head and looked at the soldier with a dazed expression, without any hint of magical power or even a shred of intimidation.

  But the soldier was as if struck by lightning, his body shook and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. Lei Hao glanced at him and then turned around, pretending nothing had happened, and walked into the city with a steady pace.

  "This man will cast a demonic spell, catch him!" The other soldiers saw the situation and immediately shouted loudly, pulling out their rusty iron knives to pounce on Lei Hao. Lei Hao walked in by himself, without even turning his head back once.

  "Stop." The small-headed man with a scar on his face was shocked, and he reached out to grab his subordinate, staring at Lei Hao's back in horror.

  Until Lei Hao disappeared from his line of sight, he turned around and scolded furiously: "You blind things, do you think you can afford to offend us? From now on, put up a brighter signboard. If you want to die, don't drag down your old man!"

  After a long while, one of the soldiers finally asked in a low voice: "Squad leader, weren't you also going to take action just now?"

  Xiao Du Mu heard this, a look of horror flashed in his eyes, and he shouted loudly: "What do you know, you bunch of ignorant fools? Do you know what I saw in the eyes of that man in white?"

  The soldiers' faces suddenly showed a curious expression, and they said in unison: "What?"

  Corpse Mountain, Sea of Blood!

  Lei Hao had long forgotten the small leader in front of the city gate, not because he was now in a good mood, but because the difference in status was too great. It's like being bitten by a dog - you would definitely beat the dog to death with a stick. But for things that aren't even worth considering as ants at your feet, who are baring their teeth and brandishing their claws at you, would you even bother?

  At this time, Lei Hao was somewhat sentimental, looking around. He couldn't remember when he last came to this city, it was already hundreds of years ago. Hundreds of years, for him, seemed like just a blink of an eye had passed, although many things happened in those hundred years, and he grew from the original little demon king to the present-day Great Sage who shook the three realms with his killing power, but time still didn't leave any marks on him, still like that young demon king who came out to stroll with his wife, only without Wú Lèi by his side.

  But the city seems to have recorded all the changes of time, and the vicissitudes that have been tempered by wind and rain are revealed on the city walls, while the layout within the city has changed so much that it is hard to find any trace of its original appearance.

  Lei Hao walked by feeling all the way, and walked to the street where he bought hairpins for Wu Lei that year. This bustling downtown area was still there that year, and Lei Hao could still vaguely find a few similarities with that year. However, the small stall selling jewelry that year was no longer there.

  Lei Hao stood at the street corner for a moment before silently turning around and walking straight towards an ordinary residential house.

  "Come on, Xiao Ya, come here." Lei Hao stood in front of a civilian house and hadn't even knocked on the door when he heard a voice coming from inside.

  Upon hearing this voice, a smile suddenly appeared on Lei Hao's face, which had been expressionless until then. He lightly knocked on the door.

  "Who is it? Wife, go and open the door, maybe it's Wu Dajie from next door looking for you." The voice sounded again upon hearing Lei Hao's knock on the door.

  Then came a faint rustling of footsteps.

  With a creak, the two wooden doors opened, and it was Guo's wife, no, now she should be called Lei's wife. She saw Lei Hao and was stunned for a breath, as if she hadn't expected to meet him here. Then her face lit up with joy, and she gave Lei Hao a deep bow: "Your humble servant greets Your Majesty."

  Lei Hao smiled and nodded, she stood up, turned her head and shouted loudly inside: "The master of the house, the old man has come, hurry out."

  The inner house was quiet for a moment, and after a breath, a string of heavy footsteps sounded, only to hear a loud crash, the door of the inner house burst open with great force, and a sturdy, richly dressed man with a silk suit rushed out, his eyes fixed on Lei Hao, shouting: "Head."

  Lei Hao didn't go to see him, he turned his gaze to the inner room where a little boy with two small braids was taking his first steps, swaying unsteadily. After a moment, he pretended to be angry and said: "You have good news but don't tell me, do you still have this kind of heart?" After speaking, he strode into the inner room, carefully picking up the little guy, as if afraid that one careless move would hurt him.

  Xiong Ya smiled and said: "This isn't still haven't found Big Sister..."

  Before he could finish speaking, his wife gently pulled him and he immediately realized he had misspoken. He looked at Lei Hao with some trepidation.

  Lei Hao's face immediately fell when he heard the words, and the little guy in his arms also seemed to sense Lei Hao's emotions, letting out a loud wail. Lei Hao's face quickly broke into a smile again as he gently patted the little one, softly saying: "Don't cry, don't cry, Uncle scared you..."

  "Has he been named yet?"

  Xiang Ya saw Lei Hao laughing and knew that nothing was wrong. He laughed and said, "Nothing, just waiting for you to name it."

  "Let's call him Lei An then, a lifetime of peace!"

  After muttering to himself twice, he said happily: "The name is indeed good-sounding!"

  That night, Langya pulled out a wooden table in the courtyard and said he wanted to show off his skills to Leihao, to taste his current craftsmanship.

  Taking advantage of the moment when Yaoya went to cook, Yaoyan walked over hesitantly and sat down lightly across from Leihao, saying: "Your Majesty, I don't know if there's something that should be said or not?"

  Lei Hao nodded slightly.

  "In the past, when we were at Shuixian Cave, there were only men who knew how to fight and kill. I spent more time with Sister Wulai, so I understand her better. Actually, she has been suffering in her heart all these years. When you're not around, she's always distracted, busy taking care of big and small things on the mountain. Many times when I went to look for her in the morning, I found her staring blankly at your bed in your bedroom. Although she never said it, I understand that what we women hope for most is not a man with great abilities or one who can make a lot of money, but just having a man by our side. And every time you leave, it's for decades or hundreds of years, and when you return to the mountain, you're always busy with your closed-door meditation... Sister Wulai..."

  Before the wife finished speaking, Lang Ya's figure appeared beside her and said in a rough tone: "Wife, don't say anymore."

  Lei Hao lowered his head, and a thin layer of mist rose in his eyes.

  Listening to the words of the wolf-toothed girl, Lei Hao seemed to see that daily solitary figure in front of the dinner table, with a clear and beautiful face but a melancholy expression; he seemed to see that thin back often sitting under the oil lamp, staring blankly at his bed with tears.

  Is it wrong to have no tears? She's just a woman, a woman who gave up her cultivation, gave up being the great leader, the demon king, and advancing to higher levels, all for him. She put her entire life on him, hoping he could spend more time with her, hoping he could give her a child.

  "What have I done?!" Lei Hao's heart felt suffocated, he stretched out his hand and grasped his long hair tightly, letting out a low growl.

  Lei Hao thought about all these years, he was busy managing the Huaguo Mountain, busy searching for the ancestral witch's blood, busy closing the door to cultivate, busy fighting with Wukong and the Heavenly Court, busy fighting with Jiaomo Wang and Lingshan. He was busy with this and that, but never had time to accompany Wu Lei properly.

  Lei Hao suddenly understood that when Wu Lei asked him, "When will Wukong return to the mountain?", she must have been eager to hear him say a few days later. But his answer was several hundred years later. At that moment, her heart must have been extremely disappointed, and she must have thought he was just putting her off.

  Lei Hao felt it at this moment, how desperate she was when he fainted without tears. "Perhaps, for her, the whole world has already been destroyed."

  "Head, my wife is talking nonsense, don't take it to heart." Lei Hao's appearance frightened Cang Ya. In his memory, Lei Hao had always been a towering figure, unshakeable as Mount Tai, but now he looked regretful and painful.

  The daughter of the wolf-toothed man was also frightened by Lei Hao's reflection at this time. In his heart, Lei Hao was the most powerful king in this world, and those who fought against him were Nezha, Erlang Shen and other legendary gods. How could he possibly cry?

  The next moment, Lei Hao suddenly glared fiercely and transformed into a bolt of lightning that shot up into the high sky.

  Then people in the city heard a rumbling sound from the sky, thinking it was going to rain soon, and they all rushed out to collect their clothes.

  And then he heard a voice in the high air, clearly it was Lei Hao's hoarse cry of two words: No tears.
