Chapter 482

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

Xiao Mochen looked the Demon Lord over.

It had to be said, this was a beauty who could topple cities.

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 ought to be used by him.

Washing a silver spear with jade hands—that sounded like it would feel quite nice.

"Because this seat disdains to associate with the hypocrites of this world!"

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

"I would rather be a demon hiding in the darkness, feared by all, than be a jackal with a human face but a beast's heart!"

The Demon Lord snorted coldly.

Although suppressed by 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 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 Mochen always wanted to offer a little warmth.

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

"But do you think demon lords are not terrifying?"

"Hypocrites still have a reputation to maintain, while demon lords are unscrupulous."

Xiao Mochen shook his head.

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

Because hypocrites need to maintain their facade; if a person can act as a hypocrite for a lifetime, how is that different from a true gentleman?

But demon lords are different.

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

He couldn't say that everyone in the Demonic Sect was a bad person.

But once someone in the Demonic Sect is a bad person, they are more sinister than a hypocrite.

For example, the Demon Lord herself believes she can make demon lords turn over a new leaf.

But in reality, those so-called reformed demon lords are still harming the common people.

Jing Wang has killed countless people.

The Human-Faced Envoy wreaked havoc on Wushuang City.

Beast-Heart Ghost likes to eat human flesh—which of these demon lords has actually reformed?

"You cannot blame my Master!"

"Her original intention was good, otherwise she wouldn't have wanted to save the world 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 Mochen just smiled with disdain, "Saving the world through the demonic path is a joke. If I am not mistaken, you want to break the Heart of Bodhidharma to obtain the location of the Ten Thousand Acre Golden Sea, thereby realizing your ideal!"

"How do you know?"

At this moment, the Demon Lord was shocked.

She asked herself, this was her first time meeting Xiao Mochen, and she had never mentioned it.

How did Xiao Mochen know the plan?

"In this world, there isn't much that I don't know!"

"Your original intention is good, but you have underestimated human nature!"

"You hope to build a world where everyone is equal and well-fed, but this will not be realized; instead, it will bring destruction!"

Xiao Mochen said 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 basically beyond saving.

Having lost goals and desires, how is living any different from being a corpse?

The Demon Lord wants 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 precisely because it is rare."

"It wasn't currency at first; it was people who made it currency!"

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

Xiao Mochen looked at the Demon Lord.

He didn't mind enlightening Bai Suzhen, who 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, the world's order will collapse!"

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 Mochen asked.
