Fox Demon: Why did your brother beat you up every day at the beginning of the month?

To be honest, at the beginning of the month, he had already anticipated that his brother's furious state would prevent him from accepting his apology, but he still couldn't help but beg for mercy because the suppression from his bloodline made Dongfang Yuechu's legs tremble uncontrollably.

"You brat, I don't need to tell you twice!"

"Got it! Got it! Hehe, don't be angry, bro. I'll go apologize! And I'll make it a real apology!"

Seeing Yuechu kneeling on the ground, showing such an attitude of admitting her guilt, Dongfang Haoyang nodded slightly.

This kid's got some sense, otherwise I'd give him a good spanking today!

He knew about his brother Haoyang's decree at the beginning of the month. If it weren't for Honghong, he wouldn't have dared to do that kind of thing behind his brother's back!

"Waaaaah, brother, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

"Come on, don't force me to hit you!"

"Waaaaah..."

With a chuckle, Tu Shan Ya Ya led the sobbing Dongfang Yuechu, who was bound like a rice dumpling, towards the inner city of Tu Shan.

…………

"I'm so sorry, my younger brother's poor discipline has caused you trouble." Dongfang Haoyang looked at the owner of Yaoxinzhai, who was trembling and about to kneel down with a look of awe, and quickly helped him up.

"It's alright, it's alright, Daoist. It's just a little silver, no need to make you come all the way here. I won't pay it back, consider this money as my treat for your brother."

"That won't do. That brat was in the wrong first. You can keep this money, old man. If it's not enough, go to the judicial office of the Tushan government to get more."

With a smile, Dongfang Haoyang helped the old fox demon in front of him up and personally placed a thick stack of hundred-tael silver notes into the other's hands.

The old fox demon's eyes welled up with tears, and she silently shed them.

Everyone in Tushan City knows that Daoist Master is dedicated to serving the people. For him to come to them in person today is like his ancestors' graves emitting auspicious smoke.

"Hey, why is that old fox spirit, Sister Ya Ya, so respectful to my brother... when she's all hostile towards me..."

Tu Shan Ya Ya snorted coldly and punched down hard, leaving a big red bump on Yue Chu's head!

"Ouch! That hurts!"

"Hmph! You deserve to be beaten! You don't even know what your brother did for Tushan; you've wasted all these years!"

Tu Shan Ya Ya, puffing out her cheeks, crossed her arms and glared at Dongfang Yuechu. She couldn't understand how her husband, with his illustrious reputation, could have such a useless younger brother!

As she spoke, Tu Shan Ya Ya pointed to the Bitter Love Tree in the distance.

"You're always trying to please your sister, don't you ever see the rules carved on the trunk of the bitter love tree for your brother?"

"regulations?!"

"Yes, that was carved by our fox clan ourselves, so that our descendants would never forget Haoyang's contributions to our fox clan. You didn't even know that!?"

"Uh, I really don't know..." Tu Shan Ya Ya glanced at Yue Chu speechlessly, and continued somewhat angrily.

"Our Tushan fox clan has always been criticized by the world as extremely cruel, wanton, and murderous fox demons. Few people are willing to associate with us. Although Rongrong has made economic contributions, it is still far from enough to make the world accept us!"

"As you already know, there are only demons and no humans on Mount Tu. Even seven years ago, apart from a small group of people who were willing to accept us, most of the human race strongly rejected us."

"It was Haoyang who descended from Tushan and became the new leader of that Dao Alliance. He used his reputation and the position of leader as collateral, which is why the human race reluctantly accepted our Tushan Fox Clan."

"Of course, I don't care about those stinky Taoist priests."

"However, look at the present. The prosperity of Tushan is a result of the joint efforts of humans and demons. It can be said that without either party, it would be impossible to reach such an unprecedented level of prosperity."

"It was only after seeing all this that I understood why Haoyang was willing to risk his own reputation rather than let Tushan be isolated by the human race..."

"Let's compare the present with the past. Before, monsters or homeless people would starve to death on Tushan every day, and bandits and robbers were everywhere. My sister couldn't catch them all. But now, we have food, silver, houses, and Tushan has everything."

"In all this time, not a single monster on Mount Tu has starved to death or been maliciously killed."

"Without a single thief or robber, and every family living in wealth and comfort, who do you think is silently working behind the scenes to achieve all of this?"

Dongfang Yuechu was slightly stunned. He had only thought about marrying Sister Honghong and had never considered these things before.

Looking at his clean and tidy clothes, and then at the happy smiles on the faces of the monsters and humans around him, and at the various cheap meats, chickens and ducks, and the abundant clothing, furniture and household goods in the shop, Dongfang Yuechu pondered for a moment, realizing that he had been too superficial.

The streets of Tushan City are now deserted, not even a single begging demon remains. Everyone has their own work, and their eyes are filled with hope for a bright future. Everything is orderly and peaceful.

Even a tiny, weak monster like the little flower fairy can swagger down the road without worrying about her safety, with Tiger Might Army soldiers secretly maintaining order along the way.

For the first time, Dongfang Yuechu felt that the gap between him and his brother was not only in terms of strength, but also in terms of his brother's overall vision, magnanimity, breadth of mind, and perspective.

"Ah, anyway, little brother, you don't need to make that face at the beginning of the month. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the great era your brother created."

Tu Shan Rongrong chuckled and continued, waving her fair fingers.

"If you went to the Dao Alliance, you'd probably be even more shocked than you were in Tushan~"

"Indeed... I'm afraid I absolutely couldn't do such a thing."

"Hehe, don't compare yourself to your brother. Back in Tushan, Young Master had already built and cultivated a group of loyal, shrewd and capable people."

"Your brother has a large number of supporters and followers behind him, as well as colleagues who are working together for the prosperity of transgender people."

"And if you were to go to the Dao Alliance, without the help of your brother and his associates, achieving something like this would be absolutely impossible!"

"You don't really think you can change the world on your own, do you? In the end, without companions, you're just a useless and incompetent puppet leader."

Dongfang Yuechu looked at Tu Shan Rongrong's sly smile, which carried a hint of mockery, and his lips twitched violently.

However, I did agree with those statements at the beginning of the month.

The Tu Shan military commander Chu Batian, the Golden Scale Spirits of Huangfeng Ridge, and the Demon Emperor Fan Yunfei of the Western Regions are all his brother's subordinates or friends. Not to mention the Dao Alliance, his uncle Wang Quan Baye and his older generation of family heads, as well as his cousin Wang Quan Fugui, almost 80% of the forces in the Dao Alliance are under his brother's control.

Even the new generation of prodigies have his brother's shadow behind them. The most important one is Ye Linglong and her group of rogue cultivators. They have all received special care from the Dao Alliance, been listed as key support targets, and received a lot of resources, which has helped them improve their strength rapidly.

Most of them have now taken up positions guarding security and order in their respective regions.

However, I heard that when my elder brother meets female cultivators, he always likes to wear a mask, or he has Rongrong arrange for someone else to meet him.

But getting back to the main point, at the beginning of the month, I knew I couldn't compare to her brother, but Rongrong, you don't need to belittle yourself like that, acting like a puppet. Are you really that worthless?!

"Hey, Rongrong, you don't have to be so sharp-tongued. Although I can't be like my brother, once I become the leader of the alliance, I can't be anyone's lackey."

"Hehe, that statement just proves how naive you are, little brother Yuechu!"

"Political struggles are always a matter of life and death..."

Tu Shan Rongrong narrowed her eyes slightly, as if she had remembered something unpleasant.

She and Sister Ya Ya, being by Hao Yang's side, had a profound understanding of the situation. Even though Hao Yang possessed extraordinary strength, there were always those ants from the old era who tried to shake this towering tree, Hao Yang, but the only outcome for them was their demise...

"After you come down the mountain, learn this lesson from your brother: naivety isn't scary, but misjudging the situation, being schemed against, and remaining arrogant and careless with no sense of crisis can really cost you your head!"

"After all, you're not him; you don't have that kind of absolute strength and intellect..."

Yes, Rongrong was quite certain that Yuechu was a hopeless romantic, and of course, she was the same, but she was different from Yuechu.

As Tu Shan Rongrong spoke, Tu Shan Ya Ya stood beside her with her arms crossed, looking certain, and finally made a throat-slitting gesture to Yue Chu.

"Hey, really?!"

"Hehe, you'll find out when you get there."

"However, the cancer within the Dao Alliance has now been completely eradicated by Haoyang, and all the thorns on the thorny path have been removed by your brother."

"If you go now, you'll only be picking the fruits of others' labor, inheriting the prosperous and peaceful world left to you by your brother."
