Crossing the Sauvignon Blanc

More than half a month later, the charity hall was already built. Every morning, you can still hear the sound of children reading aloud. Those who don’t know would think that this is a school. The little beggars who used to wear rags now clean themselves up and their faces are full of youthful vigor.

Yan Mo let them choose their favorite subjects to study. Reading and literacy are required. Other subjects include business department, martial arts department, archery department, and medicine. They can choose according to their own preferences.

Several more courtyards were built next to the Charity Hall. Yan Mo placed all the demons he had brought back here to heal their wounds. They were all very quiet, and no demon caused any trouble. Yan Mo pulled Xiaoyao over to help treat the external injuries. Xiaoyao had memorized the Shennong Herbal Classic, and recently he had asked her to learn medical skills. Xiaoyao was indeed talented in medicine and quickly got the hang of it.

Now, the early monsters have returned to normal. Yan Mo brought Yun Zi Tianqing and the others here, thinking that the monsters would be more likely to trust each other.

Today, Yan Mo thought it was time to talk. Yan Mo asked Yun Zi to gather them out to discuss matters. After a while, when all the monsters came to the hall, Yan Mo took a closer look and saw that they were in good spirits.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Yan Mo, and I'm the wife of the Nine-Headed Demon King."

The demons looked at each other in surprise.

"I've been observing you these days and found that you've been quite quiet. Haven't you ever thought about leaving? I haven't restricted your comings and goings."

"The contract given to us by the Demon King has not been released yet." said one of the demons.

"Oh, sorry, that's an equal contract, not a slave contract. You don't have to worry too much. As long as you don't hurt each other, it won't restrict your freedom."

"The Demon King once said that he wanted us to serve him for a hundred years!"

Yan Mo understood what he said

"In other words, you intend to abide by this agreement?" Yan Mo tilted his head and asked with a gentle smile.

One of the demons asked

"What if I comply, and what if I don't?"

Yan Mo smiled, not seeing her angry, and answered patiently:

"Actually, I was the one who proposed this agreement. I was afraid that if I didn't have some requirements, you wouldn't believe that someone would be kind enough to save you. After all, you've suffered so much because of the cunningness of human nature. Saving you was my idea. As for the contract, I mainly want to prevent you from distrusting us and causing us trouble, leading to riots. As for me, well, I'm short of people to do things for me, and you all have good strength, so it will be faster to train you up. The work you do will definitely be dangerous, but I will provide you with elixirs for you to practice, and I can also give you exercises suitable for your constitutions. I will take care of food, clothing, housing and transportation. As long as you are loyal to me, I will treat you well. If any of you don't want to stay, you can leave after your injuries are healed. I can also give you some travel expenses. Just be careful in the future and don't get caught again. You may not be so lucky next time. I owe you a life-saving favor, and I will repay it when the time comes. But I still hope to hear what I have to say next."

"You say!" The person who spoke just now spoke again

"What's your name?" Yan Mo seemed to see that he was the leader among everyone and should have convincing abilities.

"My name is Sky-Swallowing Wolf, and I was once the Wolf King!"

"Is this the species name or is it really called this?" Yan Mo was just curious and had no ill intentions.

"Of course it's my real name. Isn't it majestic and domineering enough?"

"Enough, of course it is enough." Yan Mo was a little amused. The demon clan really worshipped the strong.

"Okay, let's get down to business. For thousands of years, the demon race has been oppressed, and nothing has changed. Have you ever wondered why? Have you ever thought about changing anything? All things in this world are equal, and you don't have to be prejudiced against me just because I'm from the divine race. I was able to marry the Demon King because I treat all demons equally. I only help the right side of things. As long as you do the right thing, I will acknowledge it. If you do the wrong thing, I will not agree. You did nothing wrong, yet you were locked up in the Death Arena to fight, just to satisfy their perverted hobbies. My purpose in saving you is to hope that the demon race can one day unite, destroy the Death Arena, and return a clear and bright world to your demon race, so that your children can live freely. But the premise is that you must not cause chaos and must not harm innocent people. If you are willing, follow me to plan the future. If you don't want to get involved, you can choose to leave."

The monsters looked at each other, then all looked at the Sky-Swallowing Wolf. The Sky-Swallowing Wolf had a solemn expression.

"How can we trust you?"

"What do you think I need to do to make you trust me? Will an oath work? You should have seen Yun Zi and Tian Qing and the others. A year ago, they hadn't yet transformed, and I helped them transform. You should have an intuition about their current strength. And Xue Niang of Shengdan Hall is in the same boat as Yun Zi. You can go out and ask around. Those who are loyal to me will have many benefits. Moreover, only the Demon King and I have the ability to integrate you and give you and your descendants a bright future."

"Okay, I'll trust you this time, brothers. For the future of all of us demons, what's wrong with fighting once?

"Okay, I agree!"

"I agree."

...

"Very good. I have plans for you. I want to set up an intelligence and assassin organization, but we're currently short on manpower. I'll give you a Void Concealment Technique. You must practice it as quickly as possible. Afterwards, I'll leave it to you to rescue the people from the Death Arena. This is the Marrow Cleansing Pill. Taking it will improve your aptitude and expand your meridians. As long as you are loyal and do your job well, you will definitely reap the benefits. As for the contract, I'll keep it. I've also made it clear that I can't trust you completely right now. I hope you understand.

"no problem."

"Well, Tianlang, you are in charge of these people. If there are any problems, report them to Yun Zi first. Let's disperse."

After everyone dispersed, Yan Mo looked at Xiao Yao, who had been silent from beginning to end, and was surprised by her silence. She had been quite quiet during this period.

"Xiao Yao?"

"Ah, sister, what's wrong?" Xiaoyao seemed to have just come back to her senses.

"What are you thinking about? Are you angry with your sister for being mean to you before?" Yan Mo looked at her with amusement.

"No, no." Xiao Yao lowered her head and gently pinched the hem of her skirt with her fingers.

"Xiaoyao, I have a question for you. There are two people. One of them thought you were dead and committed suicide with you, but failed and fell asleep. The other saw you were about to die and tried his best to save you, but the price he paid was almost his own life. After saving you, he told you it was just a deal, that someone else had already paid for you and you didn't owe him anything. He even treated you badly. Who do you think treated you the best?"

"The first one seemed to love me but gave up on me without trying hard for me. The second one seemed to be mean to me but was willing to save me at any cost. It should be the second one! He probably didn't want me to owe him anything, so he treated me like that."

"Does being mean to me mean I don't love you anymore?"

"My sister treats me very well, I know."

"Xiao Yao, everyone has their own bottom line, and this bottom line cannot be touched by anyone, even if that person is someone close to you. If someone truly loves you and cares about you, they will respect your choices and won't touch your bottom line. Otherwise, you must stay away from them, because they have no bottom line at all. Such people are very scary!"

"Xiaoyao understands, thank you sister."
