Chapter 213

"From now on, I entrust the Jian Jian Wushuang City to the Martial God!"

Grandmother Mingyue’s attitude had undergone a complete transformation.

A person capable of suppressing a Land Immortal could actually be this easygoing.

He hadn't even used his strength to bully them.

Mingyue had found herself a good man.

As long as Mingyue became the Alliance Master, she would be tied to Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen.

There was no reason why Jian Jian Wushuang City wouldn't soar to great heights.

"You, what kind of sorcery did you use on me?"

The Demon Lord was furious.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen was truly ruthless, striking at the heart.

This was even more unbearable than killing him!

Furthermore, with all his cultivation sealed, the demonic energy around him dissipated.

Finally, his true appearance was revealed.

What a face it was—gentle, holy, and pure.

It was also noble and elegant.

One couldn't help but feel pity just by looking at it.

How could this have anything to do with a peerless demon lord?

This was clearly a peerless fairy!

"You are a beauty, why choose to be a demon?"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen examined the Demon Lord.

He had to admit, this was a beauty who could topple kingdoms.

Moreover, her temperament was unique.

Gentleness, holiness, and nobility were fused into one.

One couldn't help but be mesmerized at a single glance.

This woman deserved to be used by him.

Washing a silver spear with jade hands—that sounded like a pleasant sensation.

"Because I disdain to associate with the hypocrites of this world!"

"I do not care for the opinions of others, nor do I care if they call me a demon!"

"I would rather be a demon hiding in the darkness, feared by all, than a jackal wearing a human face but possessing the heart of a beast!"

The Demon Lord snorted coldly.

Although suppressed by Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen, she remained proud.

Because she had once been wounded by the Immortal God, she believed there were too many hypocrites in the world.

For this reason, she preferred to become a demon.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen naturally knew a thing or two about the Demon Lord’s story.

When it came down to it, the Demon Lord was actually a pitiful woman.

Whenever he saw those poor, homeless women, Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen always wanted to offer a bit of warmth.

"Among all living beings, hypocrites are indeed terrifying."

"But do you think demon lords are any less so?"

"Hypocrites at least have a facade to maintain, while demon lords are unscrupulous."

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen shook his head.

In his view, demons were even more terrifying than hypocrites.

Because a hypocrite needs to maintain their surface; if a person can act as a hypocrite for a lifetime, how are they any different from a true gentleman?

But demon lords were different.

Demon lords and true villains are truly unscrupulous in their actions.

He couldn't say that everyone on the demonic path was evil.

But once someone on the demonic path is evil, they are far more sinister than a hypocrite.

For instance, the Demon Lord herself believed she could reform demon lords.

But in reality, those so-called reformed demon lords continued to plague the world.

Jing Wang had killed countless people.

The Human-Faced Envoy brought disaster to Jian Jian Wushuang City.

The Beast-Heart Ghost enjoyed human flesh; which of these demon lords had truly turned over a new leaf?

"You cannot blame my master!"

"Her intentions were good, otherwise she wouldn't have wanted to save the masses through the demonic path!"

"She hoped that all the people of the Nine Provinces could find happiness."

Heitong couldn't help but defend her.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen merely smiled with disdain. "Saving the masses through the demonic path is a joke. If I am not mistaken, you want to break the Heart of Bodhidharma to find the location of the Ten Thousand Acres of Golden Sea, thereby realizing your ideals!"

"How do you know?"

At this moment, the Demon Lord was shocked.

She knew this was her first time meeting Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen; she had never mentioned it before.

How did Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen know of her plan?

"There is not much in this world that I do not know!"

"Your intentions are good, but you underestimate the human heart!"

"You hope to build a world of equality and abundance, but this will not be realized; instead, it will bring destruction!"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen spoke slowly.

Human nature is greedy!

And it is precisely because of this greed that there is the motivation to move forward.

If a person lies flat and loses all desire,

then that person is essentially beyond saving.

Without goals or desires, how is living any different from being a corpse?

The Demon Lord wanted to save everyone in the world and give them enough wealth.

But if everyone has wealth, then wealth is no longer wealth.

"Gold is precious because it is rare."

"It was not currency at the beginning; it was people who made it currency!"

"If everyone had gold in their hands, what do you think the outcome would be?"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen looked at the Demon Lord.

He didn't mind enlightening Bai Bai Suzhen, as she was a powerhouse at the Land Immortal realm.

"Of course, it would be equality for all!"

"Everyone would have money to buy things and would no longer be oppressed!"

The Demon Lord replied.

"Wrong!"

"Dead wrong. If everyone has gold, it will cause the world's order to collapse!"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen said bluntly.

"No, that's impossible!"

"You are talking nonsense!"

The Demon Lord refused to believe it.

"Then let me ask you, how much does a steamed bun cost now?"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen inquired.

The Demon Lord was stunned upon hearing this; she was born a young lady of high status and knew nothing of the lives of ordinary people.

"One copper coin."

Heitong answered on behalf of the Demon Lord.

"Then let me ask you again, if everyone had gold, how much would that steamed bun cost then?"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen asked again.

At this moment, the Demon Lord was silenced.

She had never considered the question Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen asked.

However, she was intelligent and immediately understood that food was related to the people's livelihood.

"I know this!"

"When everyone is poor, a bun costs one copper coin; if everyone has money, the price of the bun will naturally rise!"

Huang Rong suddenly realized.

"It's not just that!"

"The fear is that no one will make buns anymore!"

"People live to make money to survive!"

"If everyone has gold, why bother with such hard work?"

Zhu Wang Yuyan was the Sect Master of the Kuiyin Sect.

The Demonic Sect had always integrated into the secular world and understood human nature.

Isn't living just for fame and fortune?

If you have money, why work hard to earn more?

"Exactly!"

"If everyone has gold, gold will become worthless and even crash the current monetary system!"

"This is called inflation!"

"It will bring devastating disaster to the world!"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen explained slowly.

The Demon Lord thought she was doing a good deed by giving people money.

But this path was unworkable.

It would even destroy the world.

Hearing this, the Demon Lord collapsed to the ground, powerless.

Was the goal of her last two hundred years worthless?

"Is it impossible for the world to achieve equality and financial freedom?"

The Demon Lord muttered to herself.

But she understood Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen's words: if everyone has money, it is the same as no one having money.

"Of course it can be achieved!"

"But it is not absolute equality and freedom."

"If you can make the majority of people happy, that is enough!"

"Besides, all living beings are not born equal!"

"Without a leader, the masses are just a pile of loose sand."

"As long as there is rule, there cannot be true fairness!"

"Jian Jian Wushuang City was destroyed by your subordinate, the Human-Faced Envoy, and is now riddled with holes."

"Mingyue is kind-hearted and wants to rebuild Jian Jian Wushuang City!"

"She will build a relatively free and equal world here!"

"Let the people have something to rely on and live without worry!"

"Will this be any worse than your 'saving the masses through the demonic path'?"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen asked the Demon Lord.

"Rebuild Jian Jian Wushuang City?"

"What do you need me to do?"

The Demon Lord was not a fool.

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen had said so much to her; he must need her help.

Otherwise, killing her would have been enough!

"Smart!"

"I like smart women!"

"It's very simple. Jian Jian Wushuang City has suffered damage to its strength after this battle!"

"I want you to join my Heavenly Demon City, reside in Jian Jian Wushuang City, and help Mingyue solve her problems!"

Xiao Xiao Xiao Xiao Mochen stated his purpose.

Mingyue's nature was too kind.

Reform would inevitably touch many people's interests, and although he had killed some,

who knew if others would stand in the way in the future?

The Demon Lord and Heitong killed without mercy!

Having them guard Mingyue was the most appropriate choice!

Moreover, Heavenly Demon City would gain an additional Land Immortal powerhouse.

In the future, who would dare to bully them?
