Journey to the West: Demon Emperor: Beginning as a Little Toad

Chapter 136: Pulling the Bull Demon King into the Water
"I understand."

After hearing the words of the Monkey King, Xiao Chen nodded solemnly.

Xiao Chen also had a deep understanding of this matter. He used to be a patrolling demon in Kanyuan Mountain. During the battle between Heisongling and the Beast Taming Sect, he discovered that most demons did not have good weapons and had to rely on their own teeth and claws to fight against the people from the Beast Taming Sect.

This is indeed a disadvantage. When using your own flesh to collide with other people's weapons, if the weapon breaks, you can just replace it with another one. But if the claws and limbs are broken, most monsters will be disabled.

The number of weapon refiners in the demon clan is much less than that in Heaven and Lingshan, which is a fatal flaw.

Since the Monkey King and the Bull Demon King had come to Yuntai Mountain, Xiao Chen naturally had to do his best to be a good host. He first lured the Three Tiger Power Immortals out to meet the Monkey King.

Afterwards, Xiao Chen hosted a banquet in Yuntai Mountain to entertain the Monkey King and the Bull Demon King.

The Monkey King took two tiger-binding ropes and rushed to Jambudvīpa first.

Half a month later, the Monkey King led a group of demon soldiers and generals and took away five thousand weapons of various types.

According to the Monkey King, the generals of Heaven will soon attack the Water Ape Sage again, and another great battle will take place.

I'm afraid that he will confront Yang Jian again and there will be another fierce fight.

I wonder what will happen when the Monkey King, who now has the Tiger Binding Rope and is not afraid of the Roaring Sky Dog, faces Yang Jian again.

Anyway, the Monkey King was very confident. He tied the tiger-binding rope around his waist, patted the Bull Demon King and Xiao Chen on the shoulders, and laughed:
"Brother Niu, Brother Jinjiao, next time I will bring Yang Jian's Roaring Sky Dog here and roast it for you to enjoy."

……

Che Chiguo.

Inside the secret room of Yuntaishan.

Xiao Chen and Niu Mowang were enjoying a drink on the Arhat bed.

After three rounds of tea.

"Brother, look, my equipment refining shop makes a net profit of nearly 40,000 taels of gold a month."

"Let's work together to open a Silizhai store in Shali Country. That's your territory. You can put your name on it and protect it."

"I will provide all the magic weapons. Just let your subordinates sell them. We will split the profits 50-50."

Xiao Chen was holding the account book of Silizhai and showing it to Niu Mowang, and said with a smile.

That’s right, this is Xiao Chen’s plan.

The first step is to “give benefit” to the Bull Demon King.

He planned to open a Silizhai franchise store in Shali Country together with Bull Demon King to bring his elder brother into the business.

At the current stage, the Bull Demon King actually just puts his name on things, sends a few little demons to manage things, and then sits behind the scenes and collects money, purely for the benefit.

Xiao Chen has been the Monster King for these years and he knows one thing very well: human hearts are hard to predict.

Never trust feelings.

Feelings are unreliable, they will deteriorate and betray you.

It is better to control benefits than to control your heart.

The prosperity of the world is for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Be it fame, money, or status, they are all about interests.

Interests are the primary driving force behind behavior.

For example, the original intention of Sun Wukong to cause chaos in Heaven was simply because he was dissatisfied with his low-ranking position and was seeking fame and fortune.

When two parties have the same interests, they will naturally have the most sincere and stable relationship.

Of course, when everyone’s interests are tied together, they become best friends.

A man can betray his brothers, but he will not betray his own interests.

Of course, Liu Bei, the Emperor Zhaolie of Han, is an exception. Since ancient times, there have been many people who killed their brothers for the country, but there is only one person who lost the world for his brothers.

During the battle at the Flower-Fruit Mountain, the Bull Demon King did not help Sun Wukong. On the one hand, it was because of the Bull Demon King’s character. He was not a passionate and reckless bull. This Bull likes a free and easy life and will not get carried away easily.

On the other hand, to be more realistic, if the Bull Demon King had helped Sun Wukong, what would he have gained from it? In fact, the Bull Demon King would not have gained any benefit, but would only face risks. His benefits and risks were not proportional at all, so he would not have helped.

The reason why the Demon King Jiao helped Sun Wukong was because he wanted revenge.

One is for revenge, the other for fame. The Jiao Demon King and Sun Wukong are natural allies, and helping Sun Wukong is not entirely due to brotherly feelings.

Xiao Chen was also unsure of his elder brother the Bull Demon King's feelings. After all, his elder brother was too philanthropic and had too many brothers, and he was just one of them.

It's not a big favor, his big brother will definitely help. Last time he was captured by the Scorpion Demon, his big brother ran around to rescue him. He was very brave.

But if one day, his misfortune happens and he gets into big trouble, this Bull Demon King will most likely not save him.

The second step.

Xiao Chen planned to "boil the frog in warm water" and drag the Bull Demon King into the water little by little in the future, so that the Bull Demon King could continue to obtain enough benefits and interests from Silizhai, so that he would be tied to Silizhai and become a person in the same boat with him.

If something happens to Silizhai, Niu Mowang may not save him out of brotherhood, but will take action for his own benefit.

"Brother, how can this be so embarrassing?"

"I only need to put my name on it, and I get paid so much for nothing."

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King rubbed his hands and smiled.

This was indeed a risk-free thing for him. He only needed to send one or two little demons to run the shop and collect money. He didn't have to worry about anything related to refining equipment.

The country of Shali is his base camp. In the country of Shali, everyone has to give face to him, the Bull Demon King, and will not cause trouble.

In fact, the Bull Demon King is also a person who spends a lot of money. He has to spend money on banquets, visiting friends, and socializing. When he goes out, he cares most about the appearance of a person.

What is the face of a card? Gold paves the road, silver makes the bridge, jade makes the clothes, this is the face of a card.

Although the Bull Demon King has always spent the Jade-faced Fox's belongings, which man in this world doesn't want to have some private money?

There is no man who doesn't want to save some private money. Wouldn't it be happy to use your own money?
“Brother, your Bull Demon King’s face in Xi Niu Hezhou is worth this money!”

Xiao Chen said with a solemn vow.

What Xiao Chen said was not really flattering the Bull Demon King.

Not to mention the country of Shali, even if it was out of Xiniu Hezhou, relying on the face of Bull Demon King, he could have said, "Do you know where the "Niu?" in Xiniu Hezhou came from?"
"Brother, I will open a branch, and you can collect the money behind the scenes. But please help me protect this place in Shali Country."

Xiao Chen continued to add temptation.

"Brother, let me think about this for a moment."

Upon hearing this, Bull Demon King was obviously moved and couldn't help but start to think about it in his mind.

"Brother, after you have some private money, you can keep a few mistresses outside, wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"Especially, if you want to marry a few more beautiful cow spirits, wouldn't that make your bloodline closer to that of the Nie Yin lineage?"

"If you work hard day and night, wouldn't it be easier for you to give birth to a few little hyenas?"

"Brother, marry more wives and concubines, have more children, and leave more descendants for the Xiyin clan, so that the family can be revitalized! This is what you told me."

Xiao Chen immediately took out his trump card.

To reproduce offspring and strengthen the bloodline of the beast is Lao Niu’s dream.

But if a cow and a fox mate, wouldn't the leopard's bloodline become increasingly impure? Would the offspring be a cow or a fox?

But cows and foxes are still mountain animals after all.

The child born from the mating of a cow and a Rakshasa ghost, Red Boy, was completely mutated. He no longer looked like the Bull Demon King, and was drifting further and further away from the Lieyin clan.

But if the Bull Demon King and the cow spirit mate, the offspring will definitely be a bull, and the bloodline of the bull spirit will definitely be purer.

"This……"

When the Bull Demon King heard about those beautiful little cow spirits, he swallowed.
