Chapter 3 (Part 1) Three Women, One Play

  My hair!

  I've actually grown a head of red hair?

  "Dragon Butterfly Demon King, you really grasp the timing, actually reincarnating back on the last day." The golden-haired beauty said, waving her hand, and the golden shield shattered, radiating dazzling light, transforming into a golden armor that wrapped around the stunning body.

  Good heavens, it's like a sorcery. I looked at her in confusion: "Beauty, although I'd love to chat you up, but aren't you mistaken? I'm not some Dragon Butterfly King. My name is Lin Fei, Lin as in forest, Fei as in flying high."

  The enchanting beauty chuckled: "The reborn Dragon Butterfly King has already forgotten his past life."

  A beauty is a beauty, and what she says is also more profound than others. I didn't understand at all, and smiled: "You say I am what, then I am what. It doesn't matter if you call the wrong name, there was a little white poet in this dynasty who said, why must we know each other when we meet?"

  The golden-haired beauty frowned and said: "After one reincarnation, your nature has become so frivolous. Dragon Butterfly Demon King, you..."

  Lin Fei!

  "Alright, Lin Fei, listen up. Your past life was the Dragon Butterfly Demon King of the Northern Realm. After you died, your soul reincarnated and went to a different world. Now you're back."

  I was stunned for a moment, the blonde beauty's expression was very serious, not like she was bragging. Thinking back to the scene in the palace where I inserted the agate pillar into my body, I couldn't help but feel dizzy, could it be true that I am the Dragon Butterfly Demon King they spoke of?

  This is too absurd!

  "According to you, I am the reincarnation of the Dragon Butterfly Demon King. In other words, my past life was a demon?" I asked tentatively.

  The blonde beauty's eyes flashed with a hint of hatred: "Yes, you are indeed a monster."

  I touched my face, and there was no hair on it either: "But I'm clearly human now."

  The beautiful woman threw a flirtatious glance at me: "You now, hmm, can't be considered a pure monster, nor can you be considered human." She leaned in close and blew gently into my ear, making my bones go soft: "You're a human monster."

  "Fox spirit? I'm back! In my past life, I lived in the Northern Territory as the Dragon Butterfly Demon King. In this life, I was reborn as a human and lived in the Tang Dynasty." I said in one breath: "Now I've come back to continue being a demon, right?"

  The blonde beauty said indifferently, "It's almost done. I didn't expect that after reincarnation, the dragon butterfly's brain wouldn't work either. It's really sad. The once-famous demon king can no longer find his former domineering momentum."

  "Damn it, is my brain not working properly or are you an idiot? Is being a beauty all there is to it? I've started accepting the fact that I'm Long Hua, and after thinking about it, I asked: "If I'm really Long Hua, then who are you guys? What's our relationship? Are you all my subordinates? Or are you my wives and concubines? Haha! This is too great! Beauties, these past years, haven't been accompanying me, didn't give me a green hat, did you?" I got more and more excited, Long Hua being a demon king must be very powerful, these three big beauties guarding here are probably all preparing to serve me."

  The fortune has turned around, and the little beggar in Luoyang City will be proud today.

  "Shut up!" The voice was clear and cold, like the snow in a desolate mountain valley. My eyes widened as the Taoist beauty who had been silent until now suddenly appeared before me, her elegant demeanor exuding an aura of noble loneliness, her long hair shining with a light that seemed almost otherworldly.

  My heart tightened as I knew I had misspoken. These three beauties were not easy to deal with, and if they were my enemies from a past life, I was in trouble.

  The enchanting beauty smiled and said: "Long Die, be careful not to provoke our Gān Níng True Immortal. Her sword has not been unsheathed for sixteen years."

  The blonde beauty shook her head: "The dragon butterfly after rebirth is simply not in the right state. No wonder it wanted to make a pact with us before it died. In my opinion, this little guy doesn't even have much magic left."

  The enchanting beauty said: "What a pity that we made the most poisonous vow of reincarnation back then, otherwise, hehe."

  I pondered her underlying meaning, and it seemed a bit off.

  Gan Ning said leisurely, "Since we lost to Long Hui sixteen years ago, we must abide by our oath and protect her reincarnation. Long Hui, listen carefully, before you suffered the calamity, you separately sought out me, Ju Danmei, and Hai Ji, asking for a trial of strength. In the three matches, although you used cunning, you won in the end. As the price of defeat, we were forced to make a vow of reincarnation, waiting here on guard. If within sixteen years, you are reborn, then we must protect your safety."

  She was talking to me, but she didn't look at me at all, as if I would contaminate her clear and black eyes.

  The beautiful woman let out a languid sigh: "Today is the last moment of the time limit, I originally thought that I and Gan Xianzi, Hai Ji could get relief, but unexpectedly, you still came back. Long Die, you are quite accurate."

  I completely understand now, my previous life, Long Die, knew that the me after reincarnation had weak demon power, so I found three big beauties and used a trick to force them to make a poisonous oath, becoming my bodyguards.

  No wonder they're so cold to me, I reincarnated at the last minute, those beauties must be frustrated to madness. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but admire Long Die's foresight. She truly deserves to be the Demon King, not only did she have a broad vision, but also arranged for bodyguards for my future self, and even calculated that I could only stay in the Tang Dynasty for sixteen years, which is more than what Gautama Buddha had.

  I coughed and said with a pleased smile, "So, that means you three are now my bodyguards?"

  "Dragonfly, you," said the blonde Haizi calmly.

  "Lin Fei!" I corrected again.

  "Lin Fei, you need to understand that we are not your subordinates and will not listen to your orders. We are only responsible for keeping you alive."

  "Huh? Could it be that in Beijing, there are many people who want to harm me?"

  "Hmph, if a cultivator captures you, they can refine the rare Tripod Furnace. Even the most ordinary herbs, when refined in the furnace, can transform from decay to wonder. If a demon catches you and drains your dragon's saliva and butterfly marrow, it can reach the legendary state of evolution."

  I was startled, whoever caught me would have benefited, wouldn't I become the unlucky Tang Sanzang? Listening to my dead father say that Master Xuanzang returned from the Western Heaven to fetch scriptures, once in Luoyang's White Horse Temple to lecture on scriptures, as a result, the temple was surrounded by people, each with shining eyes and gnashing teeth, all saying that eating Tang Monk's flesh could live forever. Scared, Xuanzang slipped out of Luoyang that night.

  Can these three delicate women protect me? I have some doubts, but thinking again, since the dragon butterfly from my previous life has found them, they must be fine. When I was in Luoyang, I often heard that among the wandering Jianghu people, there are often high-ranking martial artists among women, old ladies and monks, who should not be underestimated.

  I raised my head, clenched my fists, and said with reverence: "Ladies, Lin Fei thanks you for your boxing skills in protecting the flowers. I hope everyone will get along harmoniously from now on, joyfully blending together, growing affection over time, emotions stronger than gold, and emotional bonds lasting as long as heaven and earth."

  Jiudan smiled with a flirtatious smile, her chest heaving with excitement: "Long-lasting and eternal? Lin Fei, you're truly delusional. Even the Dragon Butterfly's past life couldn't escape its fate with that kind of demonic power, let alone you?"

  I was shocked and backed off: "What do you mean by this? You're not going to guard against theft by yourselves, are you?"

  Gan Ning is obviously a cultivator at first glance, with an aura of demonic charm surrounding him. And I'm just a cultivator and a demon's Tang Monk meat.

  She glanced at me: "In the North Territory, monsters have a small catastrophe every ten years, a big catastrophe every hundred years, and a mysterious catastrophe every thousand years. Long Die didn't pass the test of the mysterious catastrophe, but he was quite powerful, able to use his demonic powers to reincarnate in another realm. As for you, a human monster, you're not so lucky, you probably can't even avoid the small catastrophe that comes every ten years."

  "I'm going to trust you: 'Can't you protect me?'"

  "Can human power defy the heavens? When disaster strikes, no one can protect you." Gan Ning said coldly, his snow-white robes fluttering lightly, as if blown by a gentle breeze, and his figure seemed to emerge from the dust.

  My heart sank, in the Great Tang, heaven only let me live for sixteen years, coming to the Northern Border, I still have to suffer heavenly calamity. You thieving heaven, you are too unfair to me!
