Chapter 119 The Affairs of the Three Great Demons
The three demons had also witnessed the wickedness of the world. Demons are not law-abiding beings. The weaker the demon, the more likely it is to bully the weak without receiving education, which is somewhat like the inherent evil of human nature.
On the contrary, the powerful demons are willing to protect and educate the weaker demons, but even so, they rarely treat the weaker demons as their own, because they don't even value themselves!
The three demons didn't mind; Li Muyang, the new leader, was kind-hearted and compassionate, so they didn't care! They could just do the dirty work themselves! Their only fear was that Li Muyang was a tyrannical dictator, the kind who wouldn't even give them freedom!
That would really be a rebellion!
It's obvious that Li Muyang isn't a true bodhisattva. He always maintains vigilance towards the demons, yet he also shows them kindness. Judging from these two points alone, the three demons are very satisfied with his character! He's not a naive and innocent kind-hearted person; he's cautious, frank, and can meet their individual needs.
After getting to know Li Muyang better, the three demons chatted more freely with him, and the two sides became more familiar with each other.
"Huh? She's a woman?" Li Muyang stared in disbelief at Shuten-dōji. She did look quite beautiful! Unlike the several burly oni men behind her who exuded a philosophical aura but also gave off an honest and simple vibe, and besides, she seemed a bit small... So she really was a woman?
Li Muyang glanced speechlessly at Shuten-dōji... She was even proudly puffing out her chest! Good heavens! There was absolutely nothing wrong with her! Not a single ripple could be seen! No matter how much you puff out your chest, you can't change the fact that she's completely flat-chested!
Shuten-dōji, holding a sake jug in one hand and resting the other on his knee, sneered arrogantly, "What's wrong? So what if I'm a woman? Are you sexist?"
"Uh... should the Oni be called female?" the Great Tengu explained in a serious tone.
Tamamo-no-Mae covered her mouth and chuckled as she explained, "Hehe, my lord, actually all oni are very robust, regardless of gender or age. It's just that Shuten-dōji likes to play dumb to fool others, which has influenced the other female oni as well. Except during battles, they are like this all the time."
"Uh...no, that's not the point." Li Muyang raised his hand with a hint of existential doubt and asked, "I remember, didn't Shuten-dōji have a wife named Ibaraki-dōji?"
Shuten nodded casually: "Yeah! What's up? My wife is gorgeous!"
Li Muyang (￢_￢): Aim.
So it was Xu!
To be honest, Ibaraki-dōji and Shuten-dōji are actually about the same size. When they stand together, Li Muyang thought they were brothers... They are just different colors, one is a blue oni and the other is a red oni, and their bangs are facing opposite directions.
There is an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Tamamo-no-Mae and Ōtengu then realized, "So this is what you've been thinking about, boss?"
It can only be described as Shuten-dōji's personal hobby! Even Tamamo-no-Mae said that she had been teased by him.
Seeing Tamamo-no-Mae glancing at him from time to time, Li Muyang naturally guessed what she was thinking. He smiled wickedly and cooperated, pulling Xiaobai and Shennong Beast over.
"Come on, let me explain. From now on, we're all family!" Li Muyang introduced with a hint of pride: "This is Xiaobai, and this is Shennong Beast."
The three great demons Σ(?д?|||)??: Greetings, you two!
They could all sense how powerful the two beasts before them were! Their cultivation levels weren't high, yet they exuded an unfathomable aura! They were worlds apart from them!
Xiao Bai glanced at Tamamo-no-Mae, a look of annoyance appearing on his face. Then, staring at Tamamo-no-Mae's ample bosom, his two round eyes widened in surprise! You vixen! Are you trying to deceive my brother?!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got! Li Muyang reached out to pet Xiaobai, but Xiaobai dodged him, jumped out of his arms, and slowly walked to Tamamo-no-Mae. He looked up and exclaimed, "Whoa! What has blinded me!" Enveloped in shadows, he couldn't even see the light. Xiaobai felt even more annoyed!
Then it emitted a burst of light.
A moment later, a... oops, a little girl with white fox ears appeared in front of her, staring at Tamamo-no-Mae with an arrogant expression, her small body exuding a condescending aura!
"Huh? Little White, when did you learn to transform?" Li Muyang asked with a blank expression. Shennong Beast, standing beside him, retorted speechlessly, "She learned to transform a long time ago. I taught her. Don't look! I don't want to become human! Besides, even though Little White has learned, she doesn't want to become human and leave your embrace~"
Xiao Bai blushed; her thoughts had been exposed.
Tamamo-no-Mae chuckled, then transformed from her naturally alluring appearance into a delicate and obedient woman, kneeling respectfully before Shiro: "Hu Yu, of the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, pays respects to the Immortal Fox!"
Xiao Bai nodded seriously, then turned to Li Muyang and complained with a resentful look, "Brother~ You already have me~ Why do you still want to go find some vixen outside?"
"How could that be~ Xiaobai is Xiaobai, no one can replace her~" Li Muyang reacted extremely quickly. Xiaobai was clearly jealous! Let's coax her a little~ the art of coaxing your little sister!
A gentle head pat!
Seeing that Xiaobai blushed again, he explained, "Besides, I'm afraid Tamamo-no-Mae isn't here for me, she's here for you!"
Xiao Bai glanced arrogantly at Tamamo-no-Mae, while Tamamo-no-Mae also showed a submissive attitude, placing herself in a very low position! She obediently knelt down, since in terms of bloodline level, Xiao Bai's status was higher than hers.
Xiao Bai understood her thoughts, of course. With the guidance of the Shennong Beast, she wasn't the kind of person who would act unreasonably. She knew that this vixen in front of her was her brother's helper!
Since my brother is going to take her in, then I'll keep an eye on this vixen for him!
Thinking of this, Xiaobai pointed and a stream of light entered Tamamo-no-Mae's mind.
Tamamo-no-Mae was stunned! She really didn't expect to get what she wanted so quickly! But upon closer inspection, she found that it was only the basic version.
That's right. Even if she had been respectful enough, how could she give something like this so easily? If she really gave it to her like this, Tamamo-no-Mae wouldn't dare to cultivate anymore!
"You're the one behind me. Watch your performance. Don't get any bad ideas! I'm watching you!" Xiaobai emphasized seriously.
"Yes! Lady Fox Deity, how could I dare~" Tamamo-no-Mae was still very happy, at least she left a fairly good impression on Shiro, everything is difficult at the beginning!
She really didn't dare to cause any trouble. Tamamo-no-Mae knew very well that although she was a fox spirit, she couldn't compare to those humans in terms of cunning. She only relied on her charm and ability to read people.
The problem is, Li Muyang isn't buying it!
From the very beginning, Tamamo-no-Mae never stopped using her seductive skills on Li Muyang. Her original appearance naturally possessed a seductive effect, but Li Muyang completely ignored it!
Even when she looked at the mask of the Great Tengu, she seemed less interested than when she was trying to determine the gender of Shuten-dōji! It was like she was throwing herself at a blind man!
Well... actually, it was because Li Muyang felt distracted by Tamamo-no-Mae's two round eyebrows—he was afraid he wouldn't be able to hold back his laughter—he had to at least maintain his dignity as a father!
The charm was ineffective, and it was still impossible to judge how deep Li Muyang's thoughts were, but his caution was absolutely first-rate. Tamamo-no-Mae only "admitted" that she wasn't cunning enough, but her ability to give subtle signals was still top-notch! If she dared to do anything more underhanded, she would definitely arouse the disgust of the new boss, Xiaobai, and Shennong Beast.
It's obvious that the fox spirit, Shiro, and that powerful, unknown divine beast all subservient to this new leader! Tamamo-no-Mae is certainly aware of her own position! She, along with the other two demon kings, are currently far below the two beasts in status! Their trust is barely even at the level of mere acquaintance!
Then you need to be even more obedient!
After learning some details from the three demons, Li Muyang wasn't idle. Firstly, he wanted to gain a deeper understanding of his subordinates, and secondly, he wanted to find out their origins.
If they had been forcibly turned into prizes by the Administration Bureau, Li Muyang's opinion of the Administration Bureau would have been much lower. But as it stands, the Administration Bureau is much more humane than he imagined. At least from the perspective of these monsters, it's as if they were facing the end of the world and were saved by a kind-hearted person with supernatural powers.
Well, they even have very vague memories of doing good deeds anonymously, so it's possible that the person in question is far more powerful than them.
Goose Boss: We've already said, we're a legitimate organization! We don't do human trafficking!
"Host, let me tell you this, some of the Bureau's nominal rewards are unique." Goose said meaningfully, with a hint of melancholy in his tone: "Aside from skill rewards, many item rewards are also one-of-a-kind, not to mention these living beings! The Bureau respects all living things equally!"
Their slogans are really loud!
The employees have good salaries and benefits, and they also like to offer friendly assistance to all the worlds. This is truly worthy of being an official organization!
So, how exactly does the Management Bureau make a profit? Just from that tiny plot change? Won't it be losing money?
"...Tsk tsk tsk, although these matters are not something you need to worry about, it's not like some employees haven't asked about them. There's no harm in telling you now." Goose explained, "In fact, the Bureau's real profit-making method is to promote the transformation and advancement of various worlds."
"Simply put, it's about making the world grow stronger. Changing the plot is one aspect, but it's also an investment. When a real physical world develops to a certain point, it will begin to transform and advance to a higher-scale world. If it succeeds, everyone will be happy; if it fails... this group of monsters in front of us is the result! Host, you understand!"
Strangely enough, Li Muyang didn't feel uncomfortable at all after hearing what Goose said.
"The world itself is constantly evolving, either becoming stronger or weaker. The Bureau has no shortage of time. Whether the world advances successfully or not, the benefits the Bureau receives are not significantly different. Therefore, the Bureau will do its best and leave the rest to fate!"
