Chapter 268: Smuggling, you must make arrangements first

The Rakshasa woman followed him back to the warehouse. Compared with the demon clan’s shantytown outside, this place was like two completely different worlds.

In the warehouse manager's office, the Rakshasa woman sat at the conference table with a worried look on her face.

"Why do I have to manage the city?" She said unhappily, "Collecting management fees is too troublesome. I don't understand how to do it."

Wen Rui sat at the other end of the conference table, his feet on the table, legs crossed.

Seeing his carefree appearance, Rakshasa said angrily, "How about you take care of it yourself? I'll help you to keep things simple. You just need to give me half of it."

"I told you a long time ago that the Chamber of Commerce's excessive involvement in the internal affairs of the demon race has a very bad impact."

Wen Rui shook his head and said, "As the saying goes, if the name is not right, the words will not flow. I have no claim to any piece of land in the Shiwan Mountains. If I occupy the land and claim to be the king, it would be an invasion by foreign enemies, which would provoke fierce resistance from the demons."

"Although I don't agree with identity politics, my background is still too sensitive. The only people who can manage the demons are natives like you who were born into the demon family."

"But I don't know how to manage it, and I can't manage it!" The Rakshasa woman said, "I have never recruited any little demons in my own cave. I have been used to living alone for a long time."

"You don't need to worry about that." Wen Rui waved his hand and said, "I will send you some disciples who are good at internal affairs to assist you. However, you also have to recruit talents from the demon tribe and slowly build up your own team."

"Sending your disciples to assist me, what's the difference between that and managing it yourself?"

The Rakshasa woman was puzzled and said, "Even if I am a demon who has lived in the Shiwan Mountains for a long time and I am followed by a group of human subordinates, even an idiot can guess that I am a puppet of the human race."

"Who told you that my disciple is a human?"

Wen Rui smiled and said, "More than a decade ago, I began to adopt demon orphans and carefully taught them the way of governance. Now the first batch of children have grown up and are about to get their college diplomas. It's just right that they can be sent here for internship."

"Those children have very poor aptitude for cultivation. The highest level they have reached so far is only the Golden Core stage, and most of them are at the Foundation Establishment stage."

"But they are all very smart and have received systematic education in Jiejiao. It would be no problem for any of them to become a prime minister in the human race."

The Rakshasa woman widened her beautiful eyes and said, "You really are a man of few words. It is unheard of for a human to adopt a demon child and raise him."

"Aren't you afraid that these children will return to their roots and work for the demon race, and after the demon race prospers, they will turn around and harm the human race?"

"It doesn't matter. I'm not some narrow-minded human supremacist."

Wen Rui shrugged: "Anyway, I have trained many human disciples, and I even plan to train dragon descendants and phoenix descendants. Each race has the spark of civilization I have planted, and then they will compete for survival based on their abilities."

"If my disciples can become the key to the rise and fall of various tribes, doesn't it prove that only by believing in Jiejiao can a tribe and a country prosper?"

"When the time comes, no matter which tribe it is, they will regard Jiejiao's knowledge as the most valuable aid to development. Why should we worry about Jiejiao's failure to flourish?"

Luosha woman frowned upon hearing this. The more she looked at Wen Rui, the more confused she became. She couldn't help but ask, "What about the demons? Will you also teach them the knowledge of Jiejiao?"

"Of course. Am I not planning to train you, the Rakshasa witch?"

Wen Rui said as a matter of course: "Whatever you want to learn, just ask, and I will teach you everything I know. If you can find some demon orphans, I am also willing to adopt them as my disciples and train a group of future demons to rule the world."

The Rakshasa woman said in disbelief: "The demons are evil by nature. Aren't you afraid that after the demons become stronger, they will invade the mortal world and counterattack the heavens?"

"It doesn't matter. If the demons rise up because of Jiejiao's knowledge, the day they counterattack the human world and even overthrow the heaven will be the day when my Jiejiao flourishes." Wen Rui narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "If other races don't want to be destroyed by the demons, then they should believe in my Jiejiao, learn my knowledge, respect the objective fragments of the heavenly way, seek truth from facts, and regard technology as the primary productive force."

"Otherwise, ignorance and superstition will lead to backwardness, and backwardness will lead to being beaten, and being exterminated is what you deserve."

"It's a good thing both ways, and I'm happy to see it happen."

The Rakshasa frowned even more and said, "You are willing to do anything to spread the teachings."

"Isn't it a good thing for both demons and monsters that there are people like me in the world?"

Wen Rui asked back, "Or have you stayed in the human world for too long and become a demon traitor, and are only happy to watch the demons and monsters decline and even become extinct?"

"That's not..."

The Rakshasa woman shook her head and said, "I just can't believe it. It's unbelievable. I can't imagine that there is someone like you."

"Didn't I tell you before, what did Master Tongtian want when he cultivated thousands of demon fairies and devil fairies?"

Wen Rui put on a solemn and sanctimonious face: "I am thinking like a saint, inheriting the universal spirit from the master. Your hair is too long, your vision is too short, your pattern is too low, your thinking is too narrow, it's normal that you can't understand."

The Rakshasa woman was speechless and although she felt very aggrieved, she was powerless to refute. Instead, she felt that the more the human man in front of her spoke, the more reasonable he was.

"Oh, right!"

Wen Rui slapped his head and said, "I've always wanted to ask you, how did you sneak from the Underworld to the Human World? Now that the demon tribe's business is gradually expanding, we can't delay establishing a trade route with the demon tribe."

The Rakshasa goddess had a complicated expression and tangled face. She murmured, "I really don't want to tell you. I'm afraid that I'll lead you to the underworld and bring disaster to the underworld out of thin air."

"That's true. The creatures living in the underworld are either ghosts or monsters. They are disasters in themselves. My going there can only add bricks and tiles and icing on the cake."

Wen Rui said unhappily, "The resources in this land are scarce, the environment is extremely bad, the poor mountains and bad waters are full of unruly people, can it get worse if I go there?"

"It's hard to tell!"

The Rakshasa curled her lips, hesitated for a while, and finally made a decision, saying: "I'm already on your pirate ship. If I don't tell you now, you will use tricks to force me to surrender sooner or later. It's better to tell you directly."

"There are many spatial channels connecting the Underworld and the Human World. I am not familiar with other paths. Anyway, I entered the Human World from the Ghost Gate of Mount Tai."

"Oh?" Wen Rui suddenly became interested: "Rakshasa ghosts are also ghosts, so it makes sense for them to go through the gates of hell. Do you still remember how to get there? Can we open up a smuggling channel based on that route?"

"It's very difficult." The Rakshasa woman pondered and said, "The so-called Ghost Gate, as the name suggests, is a heavily guarded checkpoint, guarded by guardian gods. I was lucky not to be discovered by the Taishan Rensheng Emperor who guards Dongyue, otherwise it would be impossible for me to sneak across successfully."

"The Great Emperor of Dongyue?" Wen Rui scratched his head and said, "It sounds familiar. Oh, it seems to be the official title that Huang Feihu was given when he was deified. It's my big brother Huang!"

"When he rebelled against Chaoge, if I hadn't secretly opened the city gate to let him go, he would have been captured and tortured by the pursuing soldiers."

"Isn't this just a coincidence?"

Wen Rui said to the Rakshasa woman with wide eyes and a look of surprise, "The head of Ghost Gate is our good brother. One day, you and I will go to pay a visit to him with some souvenirs and ask him to be flexible. After some arrangements, Ghost Gate will be like our own gate. We can enter and exit as we please."
