"Transmigrating to Embrace the Beautiful Snake"

Chapter 260: Spying in the Dark

After the Black Demon King fled in a sorry state, he did not slink away. Instead, he sneakily hid in a dark grove of trees not far away, secretly observing Liu Yu and the others' every move.

"Hmph, you're lucky this time. Once I get back and cultivate properly to recover my strength, I'll make you pay!" The Black Fiend King gritted his teeth and cursed in a low voice with a gloomy expression.

Meanwhile, Liu Yu and the others, having experienced a thrilling and fierce battle with the Black Demon King, were all exhausted, so they decided to rest and recuperate in this quiet valley.

"Oh dear, I'm exhausted. When will this fighting and killing ever end?" Pigsy's massive body, as big as a small mountain, plopped heavily on the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and he kept grumbling and complaining.

Xiaoqing covered her mouth and laughed when she heard Zhu Bajie's complaint, saying, "Bajie, all you know is how to slack off. I didn't see you put in much effort just now."

Upon hearing this, Pigsy was displeased. He glared at Pigsy and snorted, "I was just conserving my strength. What do you know, little girl? Besides, my rake isn't just for show."

Liu Yu watched them bickering, smiled helplessly, and then turned to Fairy Lingyu and said, "In any case, we were able to successfully defeat that arrogant Black Demon King thanks to Fairy Lingyu's righteous help this time."

Fairy Lingyu smiled slightly and gently shook her head, saying, "It is my duty to help those in need, so there is no need for such formalities."

Seeing Liu Yu and Fairy Lingyu chatting happily, Bai Suzhen's eyes lit up and an idea suddenly came to her mind.

"Fairy Lingyu, why don't you stay here for a few more days? It would be good for us to express our gratitude and show you the hospitality of a good host," Bai Suzhen said with a smile.

Fairy Lingyu hesitated for a moment, her gaze sweeping over the expectant faces of the crowd, before finally nodding: "Very well then, I shall comply."

In the days that followed, Liu Yu and Xiao Qing's relationship continued to grow stronger under Bai Suzhen's deliberate matchmaking, and their interactions became increasingly intimate, often filled with laughter.

On this sunny day, with a gentle breeze, Liu Yu and Xiao Qing were strolling leisurely hand in hand along the stream.

"Xiaoqing, look how clear this stream is! You can see all the stones in it clearly." Liu Yu said with great interest, gazing at the babbling stream.

Xiaoqing blinked her bright eyes and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother-in-law, can you catch me a fish? I want to eat grilled fish."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Okay, you wait, I'll catch one for you right away."

As he spoke, Liu Yu rolled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms, and carefully prepared to go into the water to catch fish.

Just then, Fairy Lingyu walked over gracefully, like a fairy descending to earth.

"What are you all doing? It's so lively," Fairy Lingyu asked curiously.

Xiaoqing winked mischievously and said, "Fairy sister, my brother-in-law is going to catch fish for me. Come and see!"

Fairy Lingyu smiled and said, "Then I'll join in the fun too."

Liu Yu stepped into the water, staring intently at the fish swimming around. However, the fish were exceptionally agile. Liu Yu struggled in the water for a long time, but not only did he fail to catch a single fish, he also ended up soaking wet and looking quite disheveled.

"Oh dear, brother-in-law, you're so silly." Xiaoqing couldn't help but giggle when she saw Liu Yu's embarrassment.

Liu Yu shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile, "This fish is too cunning; it always slips through my fingers."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh when they saw Liu Yu's appearance, and their laughter echoed along the stream.

That night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the stars twinkled. Everyone sat together, and Xu Xian enthusiastically suggested, "How about we play a game? That'll help pass the time."

Everyone agreed, their eyes sparkling with excitement.

Pigsy said impatiently, "I, Old Pig, want to be the first to play, so don't try to take it from me."

So everyone started playing all sorts of fun games, including riddles, couplets, and impersonations. Everyone was fully engaged, and laughter echoed throughout the quiet valley.

However, unbeknownst to them, the Black Demon King had been watching everything from the shadows, his eyes, filled with resentment and greed, fixed on the group, especially on the artifact radiating a mysterious light. He patiently awaited his chance to strike again, to seize the artifact and avenge his previous humiliation.

A few days later, Fairy Lingyu had to prepare to leave because of her mission.

"Everyone, I have important matters to attend to and cannot linger here any longer. I must take my leave now. I hope we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future," Fairy Lingyu said with a hint of reluctance on her face.

Liu Yu and others tried to persuade her to stay a few more days.

But Fairy Lingyu was determined to leave. She waved her hand gently and embarked on her journey.

Not long after Fairy Lingyu left, the Black Demon King seized the opportunity and reappeared.

"Haha, now no one can help you! This time the artifact will definitely be mine!" The Black Demon King laughed triumphantly, his eyes flashing with a mad light.

Upon hearing that familiar yet repulsive voice, Liu Yu and the others immediately became alert and entered combat mode.

"You despicable bastard, you dare to come here again! Today I'll make sure you don't leave alive!" Liu Yu roared, gripping his sword tightly, ready to fight at any moment.

The Black Demon King declared, "This time, I am determined to obtain the divine artifact, and no one can stop me!"

An even fiercer battle erupted once more, and a tense atmosphere instantly filled the valley...
