Indestructible God King

"What an ungrateful reptile! How much dragon Qi did you absorb thanks to me, back at the Dragon Gate Assembly! You would have died in the Blood Nourishing Dragon Array if it wasn’t for me! I was the one who woke you up! I gave you all those good things and even saved your life, yet you still want to eat me? You’re insane!"

Wang Ke watched in fury as the Snake King left.

"Looks like the Snake King is holding a strong grudge against you! Are you sure he's insane?" Long Yu asked.

"Of course. Didn't you hear he's planning to eat me?" Wang Ke said.

"What's your plan, then?" Long Yu asked.

"Oh yeah, do all demonic beasts like to display their wealth in their abodes as decorations?" Wang Ke wondered.

Long Yu answered, "Not really. It's more like most of them don't know how to use storage bangles like humans do. They just leave them in the open because they can't store them up!" Long Yu replied.

"No wonder!" Wang Ke said in excitement, "No wonder the Snake King just left his possessions inside his den; the other demonic beasts did the same, too. I also remember that he didn’t react when I was taking all those storage bangles from the dead... That figures, he doesn't use them!"

"What do you mean?" Long Yu was a little lost.

"Don’t you see? The Snake King has been robbing his neighbors all this time; I'm sure he's hoarded a lot of things in his den, right?" Wang Ke's eyes were glowing in excitement.

However, Long Yu was still having trouble following his train of thought. "What exactly are you planning to do?" she asked, clearly confused.

"The Snake King has been robbing his neighbors against his good conscience; all the wealth stashed in his hideout has been earned through evil means! Such evil! The souls of those victimized creatures will never rest! He has gone way out of line!" Wang Ke said, looking as though his heart were aching for the slain beasts.

"You mean that…?" Long Yu seemed to have an inkling of what he meant.

Wang Ke continued solemnly, "As the Snake King's superior, I can no longer stand idle and see him fall deeper into iniquity. No way; even if he wants to kill, I have to make him turn over a new leaf!"

"So?" Long Yu asked, waiting for him to continue.

"So I’ve decided to confiscate all that despicable wealth he unjustly took from others! This will teach him that good things come to those who work. Everything must be earned through hard work and upright means; robbing your neighbor is a big 'no-no'!" Wang Ke said, eyes filled with determination.

Long Yu: "...................!"

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Wang Ke asked, throwing her a stare, "The Snake King is doing bad things. He wants to tear me into ten thousand pieces and eat me! Even so, I’m truly concerned about educating him. Shouldn’t he thank me instead?"

Long Yu: "............!"

An eerie silence befell the room. You sound awfully reasonable, and I have noooo freaking way to counter that logic.

"Although the Snake King is out there robbing, I'm sure there are other snake generals guarding his place. I'm pretty sure they are at least Golden Core experts, while you’re just an Innate Stage fellow, right? How are you going to take the Snake King's possessions from their hands?" Long Yu asked.

"We don't have to do everything forcefully! We can use our intellect!" Wang Ke said with an excited smile.

"Intellect? The snake generals won’t let anyone near the den!" Long Yu was still unconvinced.

However, Wang Ke started sizing Long Yu up, observing her closely from top to bottom.

"What are you doing?" Long Yu was shocked. Now that I've lost all my cultivation, is Wang Ke harboring evil thoughts about me?

"You’re about as tall as the Demon Sovereign, right?" Wang Ke was surprised by the fact. Long Yu was taken aback. Did he recognize me?

"This mask?" Long Yu was shocked.

"I'm sure you've seen this quite a lot, right? Since you were the Demon Sovereign's maidservant, I'm sure you recognize this. How about it? Would you think this mask is fake? No, I mean, do you think it looks similar?" Wang Ke looked at Long Yu expectantly.

She took the mask with a doubtful look and looked at it closely.

"This is the Demon Sovereign's mask?" Long Yu asked with a strange expression.

"An accurate replica! I hired a professional to do it. Look, doesn't it look exactly the same? Like the one the Demon Sovereign wears?" Wang Ke asked hopefully.

Long Yu: "...................!"

She never thought Wang Ke would take out a Demon Sovereign's mask.

"It does look alike. But, what are you going to do with it?' Long Yu asked.

"To sell it, of course! It's a faithful imitation of the real thing! I have yet to mass produce it… But in the future, I will sell it all over the Ten-thousand Great Mountains, and I'm sure people will get crazy over it!" Wang Ke answered in excitement.

"Crazy over it?" Long Yu looked at Wang Ke in astonishment.

"Don't you see?" Wang Ke continued in excitement, "The Demon Sovereign is a public figure; his every move is followed by all the major influential powers in the Ten-thousand Great Mountains. So many eyes on him! He's the most famous celebrity there is! You don't know about popular trends. But the things famous celebrities wear will usually become hot-selling items! That is a sign of popularity! This is the mask used by the most famous celebrity all year long! The exact same model! Don't you think this is a good enough gimmick that no cultivator would pass up to buy? I'm producing this in secret because I don't want others to jump on the bandwagon! I will wait until I have enough masks produced before putting them up for sale everywhere in one go! And when the time matures, I will go for hunger marketing! I'm sure people will go crazy over it! It's all money! Countless money!"

Long Yu: "............!"
