Otherworldly Evil Monarch

Chapter 800: Arrangements!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Your concern is that little child Yang Mo. Or rather to say, what you are concerned about is not really Yang Mo. You are just unwilling to allow your prior arrangements to be destroyed by me, that is all.” Li You Ran said in a low voice. “With my ability and wisdom, no one can control me. Yang Mo, or his father, Prince Equivalent Yang Huai Nong, are all unable to! They are not worthy!”

He lifted his head and looked into the distance. “But I will willingly allow myself to be controlled by them. If I put it this way, I wonder if you understand what I mean?”

Jun Mo Xie nodded his head. “Looks like you understand yourself clearly.”

“That’s right! The two of us are two different people; we are meant to go on different paths. What you seek, I am unable to find out, but what I, Li You Ran, seek, is merely the worldly affairs of this life—the glory and splendor! What I chase is merely power! For the sake of supreme power, I am capable of doing anything. Why can’t I allow myself to be controlled by others for the sake of power? And it is merely a superficial level of control!”

Li You Ran laughed. “All these years, I have always been hiding behind the scenes, coming up with strategies and devising tactics, but I have never revealed myself before anyone. I am capable of being an extraordinary tactician, but the only regrettable thing is that I do not have the presence of a sovereign ruler! My position is most suitable to be beneath only one person, and above everyone else!”

“That is the most suitable place for me! Is Third Young Master Jun satisfied with my answer?” Li You Ran spoke with great determination.

Jun Mo Xie remained silent, but he did not say a single word.

Li You Ran stood before the window silently, also not making a single noise.

These two people—one sitting, one standing—were as still as sculptures.

The atmosphere in the room was shockingly heavy!

After a long time, Jun Mo Xie finally opened his mouth and spoke. “Li You Ran, if I really retreat, and the three Holy Lands send people again, what would you do?”

“What would I do? What else can I do? I will just speak the truth as it is!”

Li You Ran sighed but laughed bitterly. “Telling the truth that you had retreated into Tian Fa Forest... They can’t pin the blame of letting you leave on me, can they? Six out of nine Saints had died in your hands. It is not difficult to tell the level of your prowess. If I had insisted on forcefully preventing you from leaving, then wouldn’t I just be behaving like a fool? As displeased as they will be, they probably can’t take it out on me, can they?!”

Jun Mo Xie chuckled. Li You Ran’s reply had left him greatly satisfied. He turned around to look at Tang Yuan, sincerity in his eyes. “Fatty, do you want to leave with me? I’m afraid that they will come after you and take their anger out on you because of your relationship with me!”

Jun Mo Xie couldn’t help but genuinely worry for this one and only friend he acknowledged in this foreign world.

Tang Yuan’s temper is that of one who goes against the norms. Had it not been for the strong and powerful support behind him, he would have suffered many disadvantages very easily. Furthermore, people from the three Holy Lands are all aware that Fatty is my friend. If I really leave him behind, he is at the greatest risk compared to anyone else.

“I am not leaving! I definitely am not leaving this place!” Tang Yuan announced simply. Then he laughed. “I am not going to a place like Tian Fa! It has been my aim from young to earn all the riches of the world! Today, I am in the progress of successfully achieving this goal! How could I bear to leave? How would I have opportunities to earn money in Tian Fa? I definitely will not go!”

Though Tang Yuan spoke like this on the surface, he was considering about another matter. Boss, there really is no chance to earn money in Tian Fa Forest. But eating and living will need money! If I do not stay behind to support this place, what will you do? Being safe does not mean that you can have it for dinner! Are you going to rob? Even if you attempt to go robbing, it doesn’t seem like there’s anywhere you can rob from?

Jun Mo Xie was not surprised by Fatty’s response. He had already vaguely guessed Tang Yuan’s intentions.

There was no doubt that Fatty was extremely loyal to him. He was willing to take the risk and stay behind for the sake of Jun Mo Xie’s future developments. Jun Mo Xie had no doubt about Fatty’s efforts on this matter, and he never would!

Tang Yuan really did love his money, but as long as Jun Mo Xie said that he was in need of money, Tang Yuan would definitely immediately empty all his savings and offer them, only keeping an underwear for himself.

But on the other hand, Tang Yuan was an extremely realistic person. And he was one who could be content with small wealth. Although what he sought was definitely ‘great wealth’, but deep inside, he was such a person.

What Jun Mo Xie advocated was undoubtedly doing as he pleased, determining ally or foe quickly. Whereas what Tang Yuan chased was the same thing, in another form! Tang Yuan adored excitement, liked enjoyment, and loved beauties.... and he especially adored the thrill of using money to crush someone to their death... He termed it as his greatest pleasure!

And this fellow was extremely lazy. Jun Mo Xie had once given him a set of skills to practice, but other than the one time Jun Mo Xie helped him in circulating, he had never picked it up to practice ever again. Not even once did he think of doing it....

Bringing a Tang Yuan like this with him into Tian Fa Forest.... that was as good as cutting off all of the enjoyments and entertainment in Tang Yuan’s life!

So Jun Mo Xie had only casually brought it up. Let him continue down the path he has chosen for himself....

Everyone had their own destiny. This was a fact that couldn’t be forced.

He could help his comrade clean up the mess, but he could not help him decide his path. If he forcefully helped him make the decision, no matter what his stance was or what his starting point was, he would have stepped out line!

Some people pursue longevity their entire life, for unparallelled martial arts in this world. But some people didn’t even hold it in regard. Tang Yuan was someone like this. So was Li You Ran!

There was no other reason. Everyone pursed a different goal. It could be glory and wealth, or the influence that allowed one to control and reign, or royal power that caused people to heartlessly kill their own kin. All this was worthless in Jun Mo Xie’s heart!

Everyone had their own standpoint and their own values. That was all!

Jun Mo Xie pondered for a while before speaking again. “Everyone has their own ambitions. Since you have already set your determination, I will not force you. Later, I will seek the opinion of Hai Chen Feng and Song Shang to see if they are willing to stay behind and accompany you. With these two experts, you should not suffer any big disadvantages in Tian Xiang City, or even in this entire continent.”

Tang Yuan’s eyes brightened as he agreed. Hai Chen Feng and Song Shang were already at the level of Superior Supreme. With the help of these two, high-level experts, a lot of things would be able to proceed extremely smoothly!

And these two people were spies that Jun Mo Xie had already planted in the continent.

But Jun Mo Xie had said this not only for Tang Yuan, but also for Li You Ran.

Li You Ran smiled and said, “Third Young Master Jun can rest assured. I may not be a good person, but fortunately, no matter what I do, I will do it only when I know what is going on.”

Jun Mo Xie chuckled meaningfully. “Well said, knowing what’s going on.... This is also one of the reasons why I am not killing you.” He paused for a while before continuing. “I will speak to Prince Equivalent and his son about you later on. I believe they would not give up a major talent like you.”

Li You Ran perked up and replied respectfully. “As such... Thank you!”

Jun Mo Xie’s words had significant weight to it. With Li You Ran’s talent and wisdom, and the strength of the Li Family, trying to rise up in the court of Tian Xiang to occupy a seat was definitely not a difficult challenge. But, they would never really be able to sit in the central position of authority!

Because Prince Equivalent and his son would always be on the side of Jun Mo Xie. And in the eyes of outsiders, Li You Ran’s family and the Jun Family would definitely never match in their tunes. They were forever opposing each other! This would undoubtedly become Li You Ran’s greatest weak spot!

Even if Li You Ran had strategized and killed Yang Huai Yu and his sons, contributing greatly to Prince Equivalent, all in all, he had merely decorated something that was already perfect. It would only take a single sentence from Young Master Jun to turn all his achievements and contributions into ashes!

Similarly, with Jun Mo Xie’s affirmation, Li You Ran’s greatest worries were completely driven off and vanished without a trace! It would become a great affair! This would definitely be of invaluable aid to Li You Ran’s future career as an official!

“Oh right, Third Young Master Jun, if you are really going to hide in Tian Fa Forest, then naturally, outsiders will not be able to go in. Although those Xuan Beasts in Tian Fa Forest cannot be touched, but those rare medicines and herbs.... Hehe... our Aristocratic Hall still need to continue operations.... Same old rules on the profit and gains: ninety for you and ten for me!” Fatty Tang cackled villainously, quickly coming up with a new scheme to strike it rich!

If this proposal had gained the approval of Jun Mo Xie, then the entire Tian Fa Forest would become Tang Yuan’s personal treasure bowl! This was literally monopolizing! Dominating the market! Although Jun Mo Xie got a ninety percent cut, but that remaining ten percent was more than enough for Tang Yuan to become the wealthiest person in the continent! Young Master Jun was going to separate from human community from now on!

Jun Mo Xie laughed. “You need not worry about this.... just relax, I have already made plans. The ratio will also change to sixty for me, thirty for you, and ten for Yang Mo. This will be better. Otherwise, if only you get to enjoy, while the royal family doesn’t even get a bite of the meat, sooner or later, your possessions will be confiscated! You also can’t always remain under my protection, can you?”

Tang Yuan was extremely excited.

Even Li You Ran couldn’t help but reveal a look of admiration, which turned into a look of excitement! This is a gigantic piece of cake! Even if the Tian Xiang Royal family only gets ten percent of the profits, it is still a lot. It will definitely be enough to allow this country to become more populous and affluent than other countries. If it is properly utilized, we may even become the first nation to unify this continent!

When the time comes, he would be able to have even greater opportunities to show his capabilities. Be it fighting wars in all directions or every type of the country’s domestic affairs, it would all be able to advance smoothly! He would definitely be able to leave his name behind in the historic records!

Looks like I will have to improve my relationship with this fatty no matter what in the future... This is truly the God of Wealth, and not only in name! The way Li You Ran looked at Tang Yuan turned fervent as he thought secretly....
