Chapter 363
Are the materials and the materials list correct?
The middle-aged man's face was pale and he was sweating profusely. He kept looking at the Demon Lord secretly, trying to discern something from his expression.
The materials don't match the materials on the preparation list. There's no doubt someone must have embezzled them.
As for corruption, well, it's common everywhere, but you can't get caught.
If you work for the righteous and get caught for corruption, you might just be punished. But if you work for the evil and still do the same, then if you get caught... you could end up with the lives of your entire family.
Yes, the devil's way is so cruel, otherwise it would not be called the devil's way.
The reason why the middle-aged man was afraid was mainly because he was worried that the Demon Lord would vent his anger on him.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. The previous Demon Lord had a bad temper. If something happened that made him unhappy, everyone present would basically suffer.
The middle-aged man was not very familiar with the current Demon Lord, so he was naturally worried.
"This is... someone is trying to steal your girl..." Cheng Hui said with interest.
The middle-aged man couldn't help but lower his head even more, wishing he could cover Cheng Hui's mouth.
My dear, the Demon Lord must be angry now, so don’t add fuel to the fire!
"It wasn't me, it was the previous Demon Lord." Lin Qingqiu explained seriously. He wouldn't do such a stupid thing. This was concerning his image, so he had to explain it clearly.
"Alright." Cheng Hui said indifferently, "Since it's the former Demon Lord's business, then it has nothing to do with us?"
"Of course not!" Lin Qingqiu said sternly, "It belonged to the previous Demon Lord before, but now it's mine. I don't care about the previous Demon Lord, but I have to get my share back."
Cheng Hui: ...
Yes, this is in line with the principles of magic cultivation.
The principle of the demon cultivators is that whoever has the bigger fist is right.
Obviously, at the moment, no one's fist is bigger than the Demon Lord's.
"Then what should we do now? Should we cause trouble to those people back then?" Cheng Hui knew to some extent that the incident happened a long time ago. Of course, people in the world of cultivation have long lives. To be able to refine such a large flying boat, one must at least be a Golden Core cultivator and can easily live for hundreds of years. If they want to find it, they can still find it.
"No need." Lin Qingyang waved his hand: "Just leave these trivial matters to Feiyu."
Feiyu, who was busy preparing for the wedding, said: ???
Thank you so much!
The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this Demon Lord seemed to have a good temper.
But then he denied his speculation.
The Demon Lord doesn't have a good temper, but he has a good temper towards some people.
"Then how are you going to deal with those people?" Cheng Hui was very curious and he really wanted to know.
"If he's still alive, he should be executed. Whatever he embezzled, you should return it to me three times as much as you can as interest." Lin Qingqiu said as a matter of course.
Cheng Hui didn't react much.
How can one describe corruption? If you say his crime isn't punishable by death, then that's true. But that's just the way demonic cultivators work. As the Demon Lord, Lin Qingqiu couldn't just let it go. If he did, people wouldn't think the Demon Lord was kind, but weak and vulnerable, and similar incidents would happen more often.
On the other hand, all the demon cultivators are like this. If you commit corruption, you must think about your own fate. Therefore, Cheng Hui does not sympathize with them.
People have to pay the price for what they have done.
The middle-aged man's eyelids widened when he heard this, and he thought to himself that this Demon Lord was indeed a cruel and ruthless person.
Executing those people would be merciful. The ones who suffered the most were the tribesmen who survived.
In the demonic realm, what would be the fate of those disdained by the Demon Lord? It's easy to guess. Moreover... when the previous Demon Lord refined this flying boat, he used only top-grade materials.
This can be seen from the fact that any railing is made of colorful stones, which are expensive stones.
In short, the materials are very expensive, and if they are tripled, it will be even more expensive. Even for a huge family, it will be a huge loss to spend such a large amount of money. In addition, they will be despised by the Demon Lord. The middle-aged man can easily imagine that within a few years, all the families involved in these things will disappear.
If you are lucky, you can take your impoverished property and go somewhere else to make a living. If you are unlucky, the whole family may lose their lives.
Would the Demon Lord not know these things?
The middle-aged man glanced at the Demon Lord secretly, then looked at his future wife...
I understand.
The most important thing for a smart person is to know when to speak and when to keep his mouth shut.
Skipping this little episode, Cheng Hui and Lin Qingqiu, led by the middle-aged man, toured the flying boat.
I have to say that the former Demon Lord really knew how to enjoy life. This flying boat is huge in size, and a spell to expand the space is cast inside. There are pavilions, towers, bridges and flowing water. It is even more exaggerated than the Demon Palace.
Seeing that Cheng Hui liked it so much, Lin Qingqiu said that he would give the flying boat to him.
Cheng Hui was amazed and decisively refused.
Are you kidding? How much money would it cost to maintain such a large flying boat?
To him, this flying boat is like a high-speed train. He can just take it when he needs it. There is really no need to buy it... and he can't afford it either.
"Don't worry about the expenses." Lin Qingqiu didn't think there was anything Cheng Hui couldn't afford. His things were Cheng Hui's things. It was just a few manpower and spirit stones, so what couldn't be supplied?
Cheng Hui still shook his head.
He was not being distant with Lin Qingyang, he simply felt that this thing was of little use to him, so he didn't want it.
Seeing that Cheng Hui was so determined to refuse, Lin Qingqiu let it go. However, he wrote down a few of Cheng Hui's favorite places and told Fei Yu that after the dual cultivation ceremony was over, he would renovate the Demon Palace and decorate it according to Cheng Hui's preferences.
Suddenly, a bunch of tasks were added to her shoulders. Feiyu...she didn't even have the energy to be angry.
Who made the Lord's men a bunch of violent, fanatical people? She was the only one who could act as the chief steward.
As for the rest, it would certainly be no problem to let them go out and fight against the righteous, but asking them to repair the palace? I'm afraid they don't even know what materials are needed.
The journey back to the Demon Palace was very smooth.
Anyone with eyes can see that this huge and luxurious flying boat is not to be trifled with, and no one would come back seeking death.
After returning to the Demon Palace, Lin Qingqiu directly settled Cheng Hui in his own bedroom. Cheng Hui did not think there was anything wrong with this.
We are old men and women, and we have been sleeping in the same bed for a long time. Do we have to pretend when we come to Lin Qingqiu's territory?
Others don’t know their mentality. Many people are whispering in secret about Cheng Hui’s bold move.
The fact that the Demon Lord was going to form a Taoist couple had already caused a huge uproar among the demon cultivators.
But all of this was firmly suppressed by Fei Yu.
Among all the Demon Lord's subordinates, Fei Yu is probably the only one who sees the most clearly and understands the Demon Lord's concern for this lady.
However……
As the saying goes, good words cannot persuade a damned ghost.
Fei Yu had clearly emphasized how much the Demon Lord valued this lady, but there was still a small group of people who had extravagant hopes. Even after meeting Cheng Hui, they felt that he was nothing special and were eager to do something.
Lin Qingqiu has not been the Demon Lord for long, but it has been nearly two hundred years.
Compared to the long lifespan of a Divine Transformation cultivator, this was not a long time, and he had spent more than a hundred years in seclusion. Many people were not very clear about the character of this Demon Lord.
However, in their view, those who reached a high position should naturally enjoy their life. Although this Demon Lord had once caused a lot of uproar over a man, wasn't that over now?
That's how it is with men. He may have been obsessed with someone at the time, but now he has found someone new, right?
Speaking of which...could it be that this new Demon Lord's Taoist companion is a bit like the previous one? Otherwise, they really couldn't understand why the Demon Lord would fall for such an ordinary person.
It wasn't that they looked down on Cheng Hui—well, they did look down on him a little—but it was mainly because among the demon cultivators, many practiced enchanting techniques. After all, dual cultivation was a shortcut to cultivation, and the reason demon cultivators became demon cultivators was mainly because they wanted to take shortcuts.
In order to charm others, you must first have good looks. Therefore, among the magic practitioners, anyone who has practiced similar skills basically has a good appearance.
Therefore, Cheng Hui's handsomeness can only be considered ordinary among the demon cultivators.
The Demon Lord himself is so handsome, but he found an ordinary Taoist partner. It seems like he is looking for a substitute.
Those people speculated that this was the only reason that could explain the Demon Lord's actions.
Since they knew that the Demon Lord liked people with this kind of appearance, those who wanted to cling to him had found their opportunity. They quickly began searching, and after spending a few days, they actually found quite a few people with similar looks.
Some of them had the same eyes as Cheng Hui, and some of them looked somewhat similar. In short, within three or four days, there were many servants with "ordinary" looks in the Demon Palace.
Cheng Hui: ...
Feiyu:……???
Fei Yu held her forehead silently. She was in charge of all logistical matters in the Demon Palace, but she would not take care of everything. For example, as the Dual Cultivation Ceremony was approaching, the Demon Palace had added a lot of manpower. For manpower like these, as long as their background was clean, no one cared about their appearance.
Of course, ugly looks are definitely not acceptable, but if all the people recruited look very similar to the future Demon Lord's Taoist partner, then there would be something fishy if this were not a problem!
Fei Yu was so angry she almost laughed. She called the men responsible for this mess over, scolded them harshly, and ordered them to send these people away immediately. Fortunately, the Demon Lord had been busy dealing with the visiting guests these days, so these people didn't take the opportunity to get close to him. Otherwise, this wouldn't be solved by scolding. Everyone involved, including her, would be in trouble.
The subordinates gathered the newcomers together with trepidation, gave them a lecture, and were about to send them away.
He would do things for money, but he had no intention of risking his life for that little bit of money.
But before he could send the person away, he saw the future master's wife appear from somewhere, looking at the people standing in a row in front of her with interest, each of whom looked a bit like her.
Fei Yu's men: ...
I broke out in a cold sweat and fell to my knees with a thud.
"Madam, please spare me! Madam, please spare me!"
He is not blind. How could he not know what those people meant by sending these people in?
To put it simply, he was opening a back door for those people and making things easier for them.
To put it bluntly, he is causing trouble for his future wife.
If the Madam is not favored, then there is naturally no problem. But Master Feiyu has said that this Madam is the one who can influence the Demon Lord's opinion, so is there any need to ask whether he is favored or not?
Ignorance is bliss. He didn't know about this before and didn't think it was a big deal. After being reminded by Lord Feiyu, he naturally understood his mistake.
But unexpectedly, the lady found out after all. If the lady was unhappy and whispered something in the Lord's ear, I would be doomed!
