Chapter 399: The destiny is reversed, and the demon race will prosper?
The Chamber of Commerce's No. 67 warehouse in Huanghua Mountain is the last Chamber of Commerce branch located at the border of the Western Region Trade Road and Lion Camel Ridge.

This warehouse was the first batch of warehouses built twenty years ago when the Bull Demon King announced that the Hundred Thousand Mountain Demons would form a Demon Production Alliance.

After twenty years of development, a small town has been formed with the warehouse as its center. Many monsters living in the surrounding caves and dense forests have migrated here to live permanently.

Just like many warehouses built in the demon territory of the Ten Thousand Mountains, this place can provide many job opportunities. Monsters of certain species can exchange them for fresh blood and food simply by selling some renewable body parts.

The Chamber of Commerce's credit coins can be used to purchase almost all goods, greatly improving the convenience of life.

This is much better than the life of a wild beast in the past when one had to hide in the mountains to hunt, or run to human territory to capture people.

On the central street of Huanghua Town, Wen Rui led the three immortals of the investigation team and walked towards the Huanghua Temple garrison at the end of the road.

Wen Rui is still wearing Tony's classic skin, while the other three immortals have the same transformed images as when they were in Qinzhou City, all appearing as humans.

Ninety percent of the people walking on the street are weird-looking goblins with incomplete physical forms.

The four humans mixed in with the fairies were indeed a bit conspicuous, but the passers-by fairies seemed to have long been accustomed to it and treated them as ordinary travelers. Not only did no monsters stop them on the road to cause trouble, they didn't even glance at them.

The buildings in the city are all made of brick and stone structures, and the shapes of the houses are also different. The height of the houses is obviously higher than that of humans, which makes them look grand and magnificent.

Moreover, the architectural planning is also very regular, with the houses built in square shapes and arranged in a measured and orderly manner.

Compared with this place, Qinzhou City looks more like a slum built in a disorderly manner.

The monsters in the market all seemed very busy, rushing to their respective places of work.

Compared to the human civilians who only know how to farm, the demon race has many more occupations to engage in. Those who are big and strong can farm, mine, cut wood, and transport. The dexterous ones can work in processing industries, and the good-looking ones can work in the service industry. As long as they are willing to work, the Chamber of Commerce will always provide employment opportunities that are suitable for each race to play to their strengths.

As a result, the city is busy and lively, and there is light in every goblin's eyes.

"Why does it feel like this demon town is much better than the human city?"

Princess Longji looked around, becoming more and more confused. She whispered, "Emperor Wen, this is obviously your work. How can you be so partial and not help the human race build a city for the demon race instead?"

“I didn’t build this city.”

Wen Rui quickly explained, "The construction projects of this city are all undertaken by the famous engineering contractor Bee Ant Construction Industry Association in the Monster Production Alliance. I am now a major customer of the two queens. Many projects are outsourced to them, which saves time, effort and money."

Long Ji said in disbelief: "A mere monster can have such ability? Is it better at building than humans?"

"Don't underestimate the creatures of the world. What's wrong with monsters? It's normal for intelligent and studious monsters, with their unique talents, to surpass or even crush humans in certain aspects."

Wen Rui said as a matter of course: "The Jianfeng Ant Construction Industry Federation was founded by Feng Qianji and Yi Wanshu, disciples of Jinghuaze of the Lishan Immortal Sect. The sisters learned new knowledge from the Jiejiao when they were in Lishan, and their grades were always good. Later, they were admitted to the Civil Engineering Department of the Architecture Department of Jinling University together. After graduation, they started a successful business together. Now they are the leaders of the construction industry in the business alliance." "A Jindan-level worker ant monster has a load-bearing capacity of hundreds of tons, and a bee monster can transport and hoist dozens of tons of building materials by air. They communicate and coordinate with pheromones, and the construction is meticulous and built strictly according to the drawings. The energy conversion ratio and efficiency are higher than those of specialized construction robots."

"Those worker ants and worker bees are extremely hardworking. They work until they die of exhaustion and have no complaints even if they work all night to meet deadlines."

"Their core competitiveness is too strong, even robots can barely compete with them. They deserve to earn this money."

As the two were talking, they happened to pass by a construction site. Princess Longji looked over curiously and saw several large ants more than one meter tall carrying a mountain of building materials on their backs, climbing up the outer wall of the building to the roof.

The special claw structure makes it possible to crawl on vertical walls or the ground with load as if walking on flat ground.

There are also bees as big as washbasins in the sky, flying around to lift bricks and stones, or hovering in the air to paint plaster and lay tiles on the surface of the buildings.

There were at least dozens of bee ant workers on the construction site, but there was order hidden in the chaos and the work was carried out in an orderly manner.

"Why don't the humans hire these goblin workers?"

Long Ji asked doubtfully, "I also saw human officials organizing civilians to build the city wall in Qinzhou City, but the efficiency was too low, and the quality of the built city wall looked terrible."

"The human race is very xenophobic. When they see the demon race, they act as if they have seen a ghost. They will not have a rational conversation at all. They will either flee in fear or ask the cultivators for help and ask them to come and kill the demon."

Wen Rui spread his hands and said helplessly: "Besides, the nominal ruler of the Southern Continent is the Zhou Royal Court. The Royal Court has continued the order issued by King Wu to exterminate the monsters. The ancestral law cannot be changed, and they are unwilling to cooperate with the monsters at any level."

Long Ji nodded slowly, acknowledging Wen Rui's explanation, but soon raised a new question: "We are walking on the street in human form, so why didn't the demons make a fuss?"

"The Monster Production Alliance has enacted a law that anyone who kills an intelligent creature will be punished by death. No matter if it's a human or a monster, anyone who is killed will be tracked down to the end. No matter what realm the offender is in, even if he is a fairy-level monster king, he will be brought to justice."

Wen Rui patiently explained, "Nowadays, the Demon Alliance is a society ruled by law. In addition, there are many human members doing business in the Chamber of Commerce. The local demon people have long been accustomed to it and have gradually adapted to coexisting with humans."

"The human villages and towns bordering the Demon Alliance territory are also gradually changing. Demon merchants can go there to sell and buy goods. As long as they pay the city entry tax, they can enter the city smoothly."

"There are also many refugees who have been exploited by local lords and have no way to survive. Thinking that they will die anyway, they bravely flee to the Yaomeng territory to open up wasteland and make a living, and settle down and join the Yao clan."

Princess Longji was shocked again, and murmured, "Didn't they say that the human race was thriving? The monster race seems to be more prosperous. It's obvious that monsters can't do anything except eat humans..."

"Hehe~" Wen Rui smiled proudly: "This is the Jiejiao's method of saving all living beings. As you can see, my Taoism also has an effective method of saving all living beings."

"Don't Western religions like to brag about their ability to save all living beings? They say that if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha instantly, and saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I use the knowledge of Jiejiao to plan a new way of life for all living beings. Morality, law and education go hand in hand. In disguise, I make the demons put down their butcher knives and develop into good people, which naturally accumulates immeasurable merits."

Princess Longji nodded slowly, and her eyes softened as she looked at Wen Rui. After a moment of silence, she suddenly clasped her fists towards Wen Rui and said solemnly, "Emperor Wen, I have a deep prejudice against you and have been disrespectful to you before. Now that I have seen it with my own eyes, I know that you are truly a wise man who is far-sighted and cares about the people. I hereby formally apologize to you!"

Taibai Jinxing sighed secretly, and looked at the scene of the monster town full of life with a little disgust, and shook his head slowly.
