You can even put some by to see you through lean years! " Shen Fengqing was beside himself with delight and rubbed his hands: "What's to be done then? If I store them up, won't that be torment for them?
I'll just suffer a little and force myself to eat them all, then exercise more to digest! " Shen Mu shook his head. "The Heavenly Court has so many powerful figures, how could you possibly eat them all? And if war breaks out, the dead will be even more numerous.
For the people of the Carefree Land and the Creators, you must establish a system of rewarding good and punishing evil: eat the bad ones, keep the good. " "Punishing the good and rewarding the evil is better!
" Shen Fengqing said, with perfect righteousness: "More to eat!
" Veins bulged on Shen Mu's forehead. "Reward good and punish evil!
" Shen Fengqing asked suspiciously: "What does that mean?
" Shen Mu steadied himself and explained: "A thin stream runs long. " Light dawned on Shen Fengqing, and he giggled: "That's a good way! Even good people do bad things sometimes.
A good way, a good way!
When a good person does something bad, lick them; when a bad person does something bad, eat them! " Cold sweat poured down the brows of the Creators all around; their backs were soaked, though whether from exhaustion or from fright, none could say. Shen Mu sighed inwardly.
"My brother will be slapdash about making rules and just do as he pleases, but those gods of Kaihuang's Heavenly Court are good at this sort of thing. They'll surely draw up a set of rules to bind him; he can't be allowed to run wild on his whims. " Divine King Langwan was worried too; she could not shake the feeling that these two brothers were both somewhat unreliable.
Shen Mu had originally struck her as very dependable, very reliable, but hearing his conversation with Shen Fengqing, he was clearly a little unreliable as well. "Sister Divine King, can you open a way into the Great Void and let the Other Shore Youdu cover it? " Shen Mu asked. Divine King Langwan shook her head.
"For now it can't be done in one stroke; it will take a very long time.
But if we open a way into the Great Void and the Heavenly Court attacks, they might well be able to fight their way into the Other Shore Youdu.
That's a serious problem.
So I think we should open a Youdu passage from Sanjianfang, with at least a checkpoint to guard against the Heavenly Court.
" Shen Mu praised her: "You're careful, sister.
" Divine King Langwan smiled. "How did things go with Kaihuang? " "We fought.
He said he'd fight five of me, and I said I'd fight ten of him.
Neither of us would agree. " Shen Mu thought for a moment. "At the same realm, I'd say we're seventy-thirty. Me seventy, him thirty.
But if he's learned the fruits of the Jingping Reforms, it's hard to say, sixty-forty, or fifty-fifty.
At most he's a hair behind me. He has his strengths; beating him won't be easy.
" Divine King Langwan watched him curiously, then after a moment burst out laughing. "The Holy Infant has said so much to the Divine Child.
Could it be that he doesn't want to stay here? " Shen Mu nodded. "I plan to set out now and return to the Longhan Heavenly Court. Matters here have come to a close. The Creators and the Carefree Land live in harmony; Kaihuang will settle everything on the Carefree Land's side; and with the Other Shore Youdu established, there's no more danger of collapse here.
They don't need me here anymore.
The world outside is broader, and far more varied.
" Divine King Langwan blinked.
"I'd like to go out and see the world too, to visit the Ancestral Court. " Shen Mu said hastily: "Don't go out! If you go out you'll stir up enormous trouble! There's nothing worth seeing in the Heavenly Court, truly nothing!
" Divine King Langwan asked curiously: "I haven't stirred up any great trouble here. Why would I stir up great trouble out there?
