Di Jun's Dissatisfaction with Nuwa! (cont.)
"This great deity went through all the trouble of flying from the Wa Saint Palace to the Heavenly Court, shouldn't you give this great deity some travel expenses?"
"And the three-legged crow, you've failed in your duties. Those damned demons offended this great god before, shouldn't you offer some compensation?"
Now that he'd come to the Heavenly Court, Bai Chen naturally had to treat Di Jun to a good meal.
The crime of failing to properly manage subordinates???
Di Jun was completely bewildered and quickly asked the others for details, eventually learning the truth from Ji Meng.
Di Jun was furious. Was that deputy commander guarding the gate out of his mind?
Bai Chen's infamous reputation had spread Primordial World; it was one thing that the guy didn't recognize the Evil Cat.
They actually went and provoked that Evil Cat; weren't they just asking for trouble?
Just as Di Jun was at a loss for what to do, Kunpeng stepped forward first:
"Fellow Daoist Bai Chen, as the Teacher of Ten Thousand Demons, I have failed to manage the demon race well, allowing them to offend you. This is truly my fault!"
Kunpeng then took out two million Merit and Fortune Coin and handed them to Bai Chen, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Bai Chen, this is my compensation for the offense the demon race has committed against you."
"Fellow Daoist Bai Chen, please put in a good word for me before Empress Nuwa. I promise I will be a competent Demon Master."
Although Bai Chen had only recently accumulated Merit and Fortune Coin, Kunpeng had already learned about human relationships and social customs, truly deserving of being called the Teacher of Ten Thousand Demons.
???
Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Fuxi, and the Ten Great Demon Sages were completely dumbfounded when they saw Kunpeng's actions.
Kunpeng, what are you doing?
You're Innate Divine Beast, can't you have some backbone?
Di Jun: Kunpeng, this Evil Cat is blackmailing me, why did you jump out?
Bai Chen gladly accepted the two million Merit and Fortune Coin offered by Kunpeng, and then smiled:
"Kunpeng Daoist Kunpeng, what are you saying?"
"Although you are Demon Master, you were originally in the Northern Darkness. After joining the Heavenly Court, you had no real power in the demon race, so the mistakes of the demon race are naturally unrelated to you."
"It's all the fault of that three-legged crow, Di Jun; it's all because he didn't manage his subordinates properly."
This matter originally had little to do with Kunpeng, and as the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding."
Now that Bai Chen has received benefits from Kunpeng, his words naturally lean towards Kunpeng.
Bai Chen felt that Kunpeng's understanding of human relationships and worldly affairs was so profound that it was worthwhile for him to have Nuwa issue Imperial Decree to elevate Kunpeng's status among the demons.
(●?(工)?●)
After receiving the money from Kunpeng, Bai Chen glared at Di Jun with his triangular eyes and scolded him:
"Three-legged crow, even someone as distant a relationship Kunpeng has expressed their gratitude, shouldn't you, as the Heavenly Emperor, do the same?"
Bai Chen felt that Di Jun, the Heavenly Emperor, had gone too far and didn't understand any human relationships or social etiquette.
No wonder that during the final war between the Lich King and the Lich King, none of the Six Saints of the Heavenly Dao cared about their brothers.
Only a fool would care about someone as clueless about social etiquette as Di Jun.
"Bai Chen, aren't you afraid that I'll go and complain to my sister about you for blackmailing the Heavenly Emperor like this?"
Fuxi that Bai Chen had accepted Kunpeng's benefits and was now extorting Di Jun, Fuxi couldn't help but threaten him.
"You Sis-con, go ahead and complain to Nuwa about this great goddess."
If you can win this lawsuit against me, I'll give you my fur coat to wear!
Bai Chen didn't take Fuxi's threat seriously at all. This useless piece of trash actually dared to sue him, the Great God Bai Chen. It was utterly ridiculous.
Seeing Bai Chen's fearlessness, Fuxi immediately lost his spirit.
"Heavenly Emperor, a moment of patience brings calm, a step back opens up a vast expanse!"
Bai Ze advised Di Jun to be more patient, saying that a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan.
In fact, Bai Ze hoped that Di Jun would find some time to settle the previous grudges with Bai Chen, even if it meant spending money!
As long as this Evil Cat doesn't target us, the high-ranking members of the demon race, our lives will be much easier.
"Bai Chen, this Emperor is yours!"
Despite Bai Ze's persuasion, Di Jun held back and handed over two million Merit and Fortune Coin to Bai Chen.
"Only two million Merit and Fortune Coin? And he calls himself the Heavenly Emperor?"
(●ˉ(工) ̄●cut~~)╭∩╮
Bai Chen accepted Di Jun's bribe and even raised his paw in a friendly gesture to greet Di Jun.
Seeing that Di Jun was about to lose his temper because of Bai Chen, Bai Ze quickly interrupted their conversation to prevent the conflict from escalating.
"Bai Chen, may we now announce the Imperial Decree of the Empress Nuwa?"
In fact, when Bai Ze inquired about the contents of the Sage's Imperial Decree from Bai Chen, he already had some guesses.
But Bai Ze was unwilling to accept his own conjecture; he hoped that his conjecture was wrong.
"Hey-hey!"
"Bai Ze, as you wish!"
Bai Chen sneered and said again:
"This great master is too lazy to read from the book and talk nonsense, so I'll just get straight to the point."
From now on, Kunpeng will be the uncrowned Demon Emperor, enjoying the same treatment as a Kunpeng Demon Emperor!
From this day forward, the Ten Great Demon Sages were placed under the command of Kunpeng and obeyed his orders!
Bai Chen had already read Nuwa's sacred Imperial Decree, which was full of nonsense, and he couldn't be bothered to read it word by word.
"Kunpeng, I humbly obey the Imperial Decree of the Empress Nuwa!"
Just as the demon race's high-ranking officials were bewildered, Kunpeng took the lead in bowing and paying respects towards the direction of the Wa Saint Palace.
Kunpeng's miserable days are finally over. Although he can't regain his freedom, at least he doesn't have to be a beast of burden in the Heavenly Court anymore!
The Ten Great Demon Sages Ten Great Demon Sages used to give him a lot of orders, but now that they're under his command, he'll have to settle accounts with them sometime.
"Well!"
Bai Ze sighed; what Bai Chen said was not much different from his guess.
"This is impossible, it must be fake!"
"Bai Chen, these are all things you said. Hand over the imperial Imperial Decree; I want to see it for myself!"
Di Jun couldn't believe Bai Chen's words. After all, Kunpeng was just a servant Primordial Spirit True Spirit was bound by restrictions!
Is it appropriate for Nuwa to make a servant the uncrowned emperor of the demon race, putting him in charge of the Ten Great Demon Sages?
"The three-legged crow has been caught!"
Bai Chen threw the imperial Imperial Decree in his hand towards Di Jun's face, but Di Jun reacted quickly and caught the Imperial Decree.
As Di Jun opened the Sage's Imperial Decree, the Demon Saint gathered around, only to find that its contents were basically the same as what Bai Chen had said.
Faced with the facts, the high-ranking members of the demon race had no choice but to accept them.
"Hey-hey!"
Bai Chen, gloating, was overjoyed to see the expressions on the faces of the demon race's high-ranking members, as if they were eating shit.
The more distressed the enemy is, the happier Great God Bai Chen, becomes.
"Anyone who has objections to the Sage's Imperial Decree, speak up quickly, so that I, the Great God, can speak with Nuwa."
Bai Chen asked, eager to know if any of them were tired of living.
Although the Ten Great Demon Sages were dissatisfied, none of them spoke up to object.
After all, by contradicting the emperor's decree, they would be guilty of Quasi-Saint's Imperial Decree, a crime they could not bear.
"Ji Meng, I will obey the Imperial Decree of the Empress Nuwa!"
Ji Meng, the second-in-command among the Ten Great Demon Sages, was the first to step forward and express his opinion.
"We will obey the Imperial Decree of the Empress Nuwa!"
Following Ji Meng's statement, the three Demon Saint who were on good terms with him— Shang Yang, Qin Yuan, and Fei Lian —also expressed their opinions.
Now, four of the Ten Great Demon Sages have expressed their opinions, and the remaining six are at a loss as to what to do.
Bai Ze hesitated for a moment, but still made a decision:
"Bai Ze respectfully obeys the Imperial Decree of Empress Nuwa."
Bai Ze knew that if he didn't express his opinion now, and Bai Chen were to exaggerate the situation to Nuwa when he returned to the Wa Saint Palace, he would be doomed.
Once Bai Ze expressed his opinion, the other Demon Saint who had not yet expressed their opinions also followed suit.
"Oh, by the way, Nuwa has moved! Remember to send her a congratulatory gift!"
"Don't all cultivate for countless eons and end up like dogs, completely lacking in human relationships and social skills."
Bai Chen gave some instructions to the demon race, and then prepared to return to the Wa Saint Palace.
The Great God Bai Chen is extremely busy every day and has no time to waste here with a bunch of monsters.
What if I get back late, and some Innate Great God have already gone to the Wa Saint Palace to listen to the Dao, and they sneak in without paying while I, the Great God Bai Chen, am away?
I must go back as soon as possible to guard the gates of the Wa Saint Palace and prevent anyone from sneaking in without a ticket.
"Fellow Daoist Bai Chen, your journey to the Wa Saint Palace is long and arduous; this is a small token of my appreciation."
Kunpeng, who was well-versed in human relationships, handed Bai Chen another two million Merit and Fortune Coin.
Although Kunpeng didn't want to curry favor with Bai Chen, he knew that if he wanted to do well in the Heavenly Court, he had to rely on this cat to speak well of him to Nuwa.
Who knows, one day Nuwa might remove the restrictions on her Primordial Spirit True Spirit and grant her freedom.
