Chapter 319: Wealthy
by 夜阑妖歌Chapter 319: Wealthy
After accompanying Bellos for the entire night, Wen Ying left the Demon Realm the next day.
He needed to discuss this matter with the Law.
Upon thorough consideration, Wen Ying believed that the Law would consent.
The impact of this matter was so extensive that if the Law were to disagree, Wen Ying's heart would tremble slightly, as if even with full confidence before an exam, one could not be truly at ease until the results were out.
Wen Ying crossed the spatial portal from the Demon Realm to the Human Realm. While traversing the tunnel, he pondered where he should communicate with the Law. Once he emerged from the portal, he headed straight there.
He went to Changle Mountain, located in the outskirts of Mu City. During the final exams at the Devil Academy, this had been the headquarters of a group of extremist demons from the Human Realm.
There was an undeveloped area on the mountain, where the terrain was steep and deserted, making it the perfect place for Wen Ying to communicate with the Law without being disturbed, nor would any commotion bother others.
Wen Ying asked his driver to take him there. Upon arriving at the foot of Changle Mountain, he ascended alone. At the edge of the security perimeter, he unfurled his wings and flew up the mountain.
Ancient people built high pavilions like the Star-Picking Platform to inquire of the heavens, and there was indeed some logic behind it. On Earth, the closer one was to the sky, the closer they were to the Law.
Wen Ying sat cross-legged, extending his mental energy to touch the wandering laws within the realm of heaven and earth. In the angel's spiritual world, these laws appeared as invisible, cloud-like entities floating in the air, some swaying gently with the wind.
His mental energy touched one of these clouds, conveying his thoughts.
The ethereal cloud drifted slowly towards the larger group, carrying the angel's message to merge with them.
Wen Ying presented the merits of his idea, and the mental clouds bearing his communication sailed towards those capable of processing it.
The laws remained silent for a long while. Wen Ying's lips pressed together slightly, his expression becoming more solemn and grave.
If the current situation aligned with the witch fairy's prophecy, the laws should acquiesce.
A few seconds felt like hours to Wen Ying in this moment, just as the last ten minutes of a 45-minute math class seemed endless and torturous, each passing minute stretching like a month.
The strong mountain winds lifted Wen Ying's silver hair, causing it to dance and obstruct his view.
"I alone shall decide who can come."
An undeniable hint of joy appeared on Wen Ying's face. "As long as you agree to my proposal for Mu City's Cultural Street, only you can judge which demon race ranks high in human favorability. You will be the arbiter for each decision, and any subsequent changes will also be brought to your attention. To put it in human terms, you hold a veto right."
The Law seemed intrigued yet hesitant, as allowing demons into the Human Realm would touch upon Its concerns.
Wen Ying's plan was indeed excellent for the current situation and beneficial in the long run.
After much deliberation, the Law agreed to this bold yet practical proposal.
With a nod, Wen Ying was overjoyed, his heart relieved and his body relaxed.
With the Law's approval, the subsequent steps could now proceed.
Wen Ying promptly conveyed this good news to Yan Liwen, who was delighted to the point of losing his eyes in a smile. Free from worries, he immediately rushed the construction of the Demon Realm Cultural Street in Mu City and urged the establishment of the Special Foreign Affairs Department. He also notified various other departments to get into gear.
The gears of the national machinery began to turn on a large scale.
After informing Yan Liwen, Wen Ying promptly returned to the Demon Realm, taking a teleportation array to Mirror Lake City, where he summoned the high-ranking members of the Mirror Demons for a meeting.
Compared to half a year ago, the Mirror Demons now walked with more upright posture and confident expressions. Although their potential limits remained, they were now financially prosperous.
With wealth, they could lavishly purchase magic ores for cultivation, turning even the most useless demons into powerhouses.
Their riches also allowed them to hire other demon clans as bodyguards, enabling them to move about with impunity.
Not to mention, with Wen Ying as their protector, few demons in the Realm of Devils would dare to provoke the Devil Mirror clan nowadays.
Life was comfortable, and it showed on the rounded faces of the elder Devil Mirrors entering the conference room that Wen Ying observed.
Yet, Jing Yuan was an exception. Wen Ying looked at him with a hint of puzzlement. He noticed that his opportunistic cousin stood out among the somewhat plump Devil Mirrors, for he had lost a significant amount of weight, causing his cheeks to hollow and dark circles to form under his eyes. While the other Devil Mirrors appeared vibrant and energetic, Jing Yuan seemed gloomy and dispirited, exuding an aura of "let's just end it all."
Wen Ying hesitantly asked, "Jing Yuan, have you... been going through something lately?"
Jing Yuan lifted his eyes, dark circles evident beneath them, and offered a weary yet resilient smile. "Nothing's wrong, just get to the point. Your tone suggests urgency in summoning us."
Lately, he had been relentlessly bothered by Yun Lao, to the point that his dreams were haunted by nightmares. Every one of Jing Yuan's twenty-four hours felt like an endless barrage of haunting whispers, leaving him in a constant daze.
Suspecting that Jing Yuan wasn't truly alright, Wen Ying muttered to himself, deciding to inquire about Jing Yuan's well-being at a later, more opportune time.
Transitioning to business, Wen Ying's expression turned serious. "I need your cooperation to establish a Human Realm Cultural Street in Mirror Lake City as swiftly as possible, mirroring the Demon Realm Cultural Street that is currently under construction."
The Mirror Demons, who had already established their commercial empire in the Realm of Magic through magical cards, were now astute businessmen. Upon hearing Wen Ying's words, various entrepreneurial ideas instantly surfaced in their minds.
