In the North Continent, the Demon Kingdom was located in a land of ice and snow that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The Seventh Great Sage was not stupid. He would not build the Demon Kingdom in human territory.
However, Bull Demon had been a little anxious recently.
"A Worthy Younger Brother, the demonesses we sent have been gone for so long. Why is there no news?"
"That's right, that's strange!"
The six Demon Sages also found it strange. The demons from before had been charmed by the fox spirit, and at least a few demonesses had returned to report.
This time, they had sent out demonesses, but there was no news of them.
"What did Mount Huaguo do? All the demons we sent have disappeared!"
"Were they killed?"
"Even if they were dead, there should be news!"
As the Demon Sages were discussing, the Bear Demon King stood up.
"Brothers, don't worry!"
This bear demon, who was born and raised in the North Continent, had a stocky build, thick eyebrows, and big eyes. "I have already sent two of my generals over. They are powerful. Even if they encounter danger, they can come back to report!"
"Seventh Brother, sit!"
Bull Demon got the Bear Demon King to sit down and handed him a cup of wine. "We are all Great Sage of the Demon Realm. If that Monkey King dares to kill my disciples, we will summon all the Demon Sages to occupy Mount Huaguo!"
"That makes sense!"
The other Great Sages nodded in agreement.
Another two months passed. The Seventh Great Sage led the demons to build the city. However, Bull Demon had a solemn expression.
"Seventh Brother, why haven't your generals returned yet?"
The Bear Demon King looked puzzled as well.
"Brother, don't worry!"
The Bear Demon King picked up his machete. "I will go and take a look myself."
Bull Demon nodded. "A Worthy Younger Brother, be careful."
The Bear Demon King cast a spell and turned into a black cloud, flying south.
In the evening on Mount Huaguo, a wolf demon was preparing to pack the wooden boxes.
"Today is another day of harvest, brother!"
A mink demon walked over.
The wolf demon's face was full of joy. "That's right. I can't even count the silver. Today, I bought Jade Face Fox's latest floral perfume."
"Oh my god, really?" The mink demon looked envious. "The female demons have been working like crazy recently. It seems like they want to buy that!"
"I want to give it to my sister Snow Leopard who works in the pawnshop."
The wolf demon chuckled and said, "She looked down on me in the cave abode, but she will definitely look at me in a different light now."
"I really envy you." The mink demon said, "I passed the Recommendation Institute's test."
"Is this for real? That's amazing!
Are you going to become a craftsman of Mount Huaguo? "
The wolf demon was shocked. "This is more attractive to female demons than Floral Fragrance!"
The mink demon shyly rubbed his nose. "I want to dedicate my life to Mount Huaguo."
"What did you say!?!?"
Upon hearing this, the Bear Demon King flew into a rage. "I'm so angry!"
When the two demons saw the Bear Demon King, they trembled in fear.
"Y-Your Majesty …"
"Don't call me King!"
The Bear Demon King was furious. "I asked you to come here. What are you doing!?"
"I-I …" The mink demon swallowed his saliva.
"Boss, do you still have wood ice?"
A rabbit demon walked in front of the wolf demon and asked.
"Yes, yes …"
The wolf demon nervously took out a piece of ice from the wooden box. "30 silver fragments."
The Bear Demon King stared at the rabbit demon.
After the rabbit demon left with the wood ice, the Bear Demon King spoke again.
"What kind of form is this!?
Are all the female demons here like this? "
"Yes, yes."
The two demons hurriedly nodded. "Our female demons have also become like this."
"How preposterous!"
The Bear Demon King appeared very angry as he cursed at the two demons.
When he was tired of cursing, he asked, "This ice is sold for 30 silver fragments?"
The wolf demon nodded in fear.
"How much does it cost to make an ice cube?"
The Bear Demon King continued to ask.
"I don't know. I've never calculated …"
The wolf demon did not understand why the Bear Demon King was asking this.
However, when he saw the Bear Demon King's fierce gaze, he immediately trembled. "Y-About 3 silver fragments …"
"3 silver fragments!"
The Bear Demon King gasped. "How much do you sell a day?"
"About, about 100 to 200 pieces of wood ice …"
The wolf demon answered.
The Bear Demon King immediately widened his eyes.
"Oh …"
The Bear Demon King glared at the two demons. "Are you earning money for the demon kingdom!?"
The wolf demon immediately found a reason and hurriedly nodded.
"Yes, yes, King, I want to earn some money for the demon kingdom!"
"Hmph!" The Bear Demon King snorted coldly. "I have to see if you're lying!"
He stayed.
After a few days, the Bear Demon King came out of the restaurant with a toothpick in his hand, satisfied.
"The food here is really delicious."
He patted his full pouch. "I don't even know how to spend my money. I didn't expect wood ice to be so profitable!"
"That's right, King."
The wolf demon followed beside him and said with a fawning expression, "Our cave abode is naturally cold, so we learned a set of cold spells. It's perfect for this place!"
"But it's still too little."
The Bear Demon King was a little dissatisfied. "I feel that making wood ice won't show how powerful I am!"
The wolf demon was instantly shocked. "King, aren't you going back?"
"Are you stupid? You can eat and drink well here. Why would you go back?"
The Bear Demon King sneered. He had bought a new bed the day before yesterday and slept very comfortably. How could he go back to sleep in the cave!?
The wolf demon wanted to cry. This Bear Demon King was very powerful. He could create hundreds of little bear demons. If he continued to stay here, he would probably monopolize the wood ice business of the entire Mount Huaguo.
"King, the six Great Sage are waiting for you!" The wolf demon persuaded. "The demon kingdom can't do without you!"
"Don't mention them."
The Bear Demon King waved his hand. "I acknowledged them as my brothers and gave up my territory. I wanted to eat and drink with them, but I didn't expect them to bring more than a hundred thousand demons here. They're all eating grass!"
Thinking of his days in the North Continent, the Bear Demon King felt that it was not a demon's life.
Being a king in that world of ice and snow was not as comfortable as being a merchant in Mount Huaguo.
"I've decided to stay."
The Bear Demon King said, "Those female demons have also become beautiful. They even know how to dress up. Wouldn't my days be wonderful if I married one of them?"
"That's not what you said a few days ago …"
The wolf demon muttered in his heart.
"That Monkey King is indeed a virtuous monkey!"
The Bear Demon King was impressed by the Monkey King. Look, this is a demon sage who knows how to live.
"Tell me, what should I do to make the Monkey King notice me?"
Asked the Bear Demon King. He knew that the Monkey King did not like strength-type demons.
"King, why don't you go to the Recommendation Office?"
Suggested the wolf demon.
The Recommendation Office was an organization that the Monkey King had recently set up. It was specially set up to assign jobs to demons who came to Mount Huaguo from the outside world but did not study there.
"Through the self-recommendation and selection process there, you might be able to meet the Monkey King!"
The wolf demon handed the Bear Demon King a piece of paper. "This is the Monkey King's self-recommendation form."
The Bear Demon King grabbed it and took a look.
It was the first question that came into sight.
"What is the most important thing or value that you will not give up in your work?"
The Bear Demon King trembled. A virtuous monkey was indeed a virtuous monkey.
He did not know how to answer the question.
