Chapter 1399: Chapter 343: Prophecy (2)

The most important thing is..."

The blind man looked around,

Except for Siniang who isn’t here, all other demon kings are present,

The blind man placed a segment of orange in his mouth,

and said:

"The most important thing is that we came here just as we stumbled through everything, so let’s just go with it; since we’ve arrived, let’s settle in;

My lord, you initially chose euthanasia, and we all actually only exist within our own comics.

This life is a rebirth for you and for us.

We have no nostalgia for the previous world and its space-time.

Therefore, my meaning is, since we never thought about going back, just wanted to enjoy the present, why bother about how we got here?

Since we firmly believe that man can conquer nature, the matter of the Jade Order, coupled with the words of the Yan Emperor before Master Zang, have already proven that Heavenly Dao, loved by cultivators, is ultimately like flowers in the mirror and the moon in water. So why should we care about the endings of so-called linguistic prophecies?

We don’t care about the beginning, nor about the end, so why spend our energy on it?"

What the blind man said makes a lot of sense.

Lord Zheng slightly nodded, then said: "But she..."

What arrangement should be made for Hu Bamei?

For now, Fanli seems to have a point with that axe he wants to drop.

An axe swing and all trouble vanishes.

The blind man spoke: "She still needs you, my lord, to decide her arrangement."

As he spoke,

the blind man faced Xue Three’s direction, even though he was blind, he made Xue Three feel as if he was being "watched."

The relations among the demon kings are excellent.

But after all, demon kings are demon kings; if anything threatens their common interests, other demon kings won’t hold back.

That’s why Fanli wanted to strike first, and the blind man "watched" Xue Three; Moreover, Liang Cheng and A Ming’s indifference is also a sort of aloofness.

Because Xue Three had mentioned that Hu Bamei saved his life before.

Right now, everyone is living fairly well, with a common goal, a main storyline that’s been developing over several years; possibly even Xue Three himself doesn’t want to abandon everything now, forsake years of effort, and instead go explore a new realm.

To outsiders,

this may seem making a mountain out of a molehill.

But whether it’s Zheng Fan or the demon kings, they’ve surpassed the constraints of "routine."

Learn from Chenxiang, practice and bitterly train in arts, split the mountain to save his mother — exhausting?

Learn from Sun Wukong, deceive Tang Monk through eighty-one hardships just to obtain scriptures from the West — worth it?

Of course, the purpose of these two is affirmable, but the plight-filled life or one without uninhibited pleasure is not what they desire.

Lord Zheng tapped his fingers on the armrest, the demon kings were all waiting for him to decide.

After a while,

Lord Zheng looked at Xue Three sitting there,

and said:

"Are you interested in her?"

Xue Three opened his mouth slightly; he didn’t know what liking or interest feels like, but he still replied:

"I suppose, it’s care."

Lord Zheng nodded and said:

"Then, she cannot be killed."

Xue Three let out a sigh of relief.

Fanli seemed regretful, the blind man’s shoulders lowered slightly, while A Ming and Liang Cheng continued maintaining their icy stance.

"If it were a person unrelated to us, suddenly appearing to bring us prophecies, I wouldn’t hesitate and would send him to heaven with a blade, but since our San’er has some interest,

frankly, this isn’t a matter of great principle; everyone is playing, everyone has the qualification to play; didn’t I also capture a princess back myself?

That time, you all accompanied me on an adventure.

Although, officially, one could say I captured a princess for the development of our common cause, but the princess isn’t ugly, at night, it’s me who holds her, enjoys the comfort — that’s me.

If I can play, naturally, you all can play as well; on this point, I’ve always upheld that we are equal.

So, for this Hu Bamei, once the Sword Saint returns to Snow Sea Pass, bring her back together first, and then write a letter to Siniang to let her watch over and make contact with her.

We currently do not have the energy to figure out her affairs, but there are three urgent matters to attend:

One is to continue advancing the campaign against Chu and ensure Town South Pass will be conquered, to allow our Snow Sea Pass, and our enterprise, to be consolidated;

Two, I’ll try probing Tian Wujing’s thoughts after going there this time. If Town South Pass is taken, I want it under our control; we’ve already considered eastern Jin as practically ours.

Three, the expansion of troops, the training of soldiers, and the increase of power — these are matters the blind man and Jin Shuke need to deal with now.

Just these three points.

Once these three points are fulfilled, we can become equivalent to a small Earl of North Border mansion standing in eastern Jin.

With improvement in our own power, we’ll also be more poised for other endeavors.

What do you all think?"

The blind man, Liang Cheng, A Ming, and Xue Three all knelt down:

"My lord is wise."

Fanli, dressed in mourning attire, also wanted to kneel, but Zheng Fan said:

"Alright, no need for you to kneel."

Fanli’s regret was evident.

Lord Zheng waved his hand and said: "Today’s matters are rather numerous, I’m somewhat bothered, if there’s nothing else, let’s dismiss for now, soon, we’ll be temporarily going our separate ways."

Everyone laughed.

Then,

The blind man, A Ming, Liang Cheng, and Fanli all left after saluting, leaving only Xue Three still sitting there.
