After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

Zhu Jiuyin said to himself.

"The gangsters in Donghai Country are the local government's spies, specializing in doing illegal and criminal things for local government officials. Because of their connections with local government members, these things have been integrated into the local social customs. I have been to Donghai Country before and borrowed money from the local underworld. Through this loan relationship, I learned a lot about the underworld."

Zhu Jiuyin lifted one of His hands.

“Back then, a very young thug told me that their gang wasn’t those shameless criminals. They had a long history, and the reason for that was that they were very disciplined. If someone broke the rules and caused damage to their gang, not to mention how the law would punish them, their boss would come to them with a knife.”

Zhu Jiuyin retracted his little finger, leaving only four fingers on his outstretched hand.

“Cut off one of their fingers as a warning. This thug still has all ten fingers, but the one who borrowed money from me, his older brother, has already lost two little fingers.”

Here's a little-known fact: if you get a bone fracture, concussion, or a broken nose from being hit by a punch, it's considered a minor injury. But if your thumb is chopped off, it's a serious injury.

The thumb accounts for almost 80% of the function of a hand. Cutting off the thumb renders the hand useless by 80%. That's why when Zhu Jiuyin was observing local gang members making mistakes in the East Sea Kingdom, he always cut off their thumbs last.

The surrounding councilors, bureau chiefs, Wang Zitong, and others exchanged glances, and the most charismatic of them all, the CIA director, chuckled dryly and spoke.

"Indeed, it's not fair to do something wrong without some punishment. So, I'll cut off one of my little fingers as an apology."

A human hand with any finger other than the thumb doesn't significantly affect daily life, so although those around him understood Zhu Jiuyin's meaning, their expressions weren't too bad.

Cutting off a finger would get them out of their current predicament. Although it was worse than Zhu Jiuyin completely giving up on pursuing the matter, as they had imagined, it was still within an acceptable range.

Some people are even starting to think about delaying the removal of their severed fingers and having finger reattachment surgery at the best surgical hospitals.

Zhu Jiuyin tilted his head and asked.

"When did I ask you to cut off your own fingers?"

Zhu Jiuyin touched his side, and no one saw what he did with that touch, but when his hand came out, he was holding a revolver.

"Everyone..."

Zhu Jiuyin turned on the revolver and fired a bullet into one of the six bullet holes. ☆—5∈≮

“These hands, if you were missing a finger, it would look terrible. You are either members of parliament who are in the public eye, or high-ranking officials in functional departments, some of you are fathers of children and husbands of wives. If you lose a finger, the impact would be too great. How could I bear to let you become disabled?”

Zhu Jiuyin pushed out the revolver loaded with a bullet.

"So, when a petty thug from the East Sea Kingdom commits a crime, one of his five fingers is chopped off. If you guys are in a group of six, take turns holding this gun to your heads and firing. One of the six of you will die."

"Look, if only one of you dies, the other five won't have to become disabled. They can leave here unharmed and won't have to worry about me whispering in Bai Ze's ear anymore. Isn't that a great solution?"

Zhu Jiuyin smiled brightly, like sunshine.

"After all... I'm not some kind of demon."

Chapter Six: Bif Demon

Zhou Yan had seen many alliances, clauses, and cooperation intentions between countries.

Normally, agreements between people are legally binding as long as they comply with the law. If one party violates the agreement, the other party can apply for legal enforcement.

Groups and organizations that are above the individual can also be bound by law.

Up until the fourth period, when the number of units was nine (countries), agreements and treaties became a joke. (五‖〔∶！ 々)

Zhou Yan had heard in history class that his country had repeatedly breached various contracts with other countries, but because there was no neutral party or law to punish the Eastern Xia Federation, the Eastern Xia Federation could arbitrarily tear up treaties and contracts.

The world's strongest can be this unreasonable.

But true gods wouldn't be so shameless in their mutual agreements.

Bixia Yuanjun nodded to Zhou Yan, who rose to greet her, then walked to the seat opposite Zhu Jiuyin and sat down with Huanxi Bodhisattva, who accompanied Bixia Yuanjun.

Zhou Yanqing cleared his throat as he stood up.

"Alright, you three..."

"I already know the purpose of your visit."

Zhou Yan first looked at Zhu Jiuyin.

"Zhulong, do you wish to become the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak?"

Zhu Jiuyin hummed in agreement.

Zhou Yan then looked at Bixia Yuanjun.

"Yuanjun, are you willing to relinquish all divine duties concerning the Eastern Peak, and will no longer have any objections to Zhujiuyin, who is in charge of the Eastern Peak? With this as proof, will you succeed as the God of Zhangwei Mountain?"

Bixia Yuanjun nodded silently.

Zhou Yan clapped his hands.

"very good."

Zhou Yan took out a contract from his inner world and placed it in front of Zhu Jiuyin.

Zhu Jiuyin glanced at it.

Zhou Yan reminded him.

“I had a lawyer review every single clause in it, word by word, and I guarantee there will be no ambiguity or traps. After that, I even burned it for God.”

Zhu Jiuyin asked, puzzled.

"Wouldn't it be more appropriate to burn this offering for the Goddess Houtu?"

Zhou Yan turned his head to the side. Indeed, it would be more appropriate to replace the mountain god and land god with Houtu, but he couldn't explain it to Nuwa.

Nuwa did not allow herself to be with west Wangmu and Houtu.

Of course, God Gouchen also has considerable binding power.

Zhu Jiuyin signed the contract.

Zhou Yan picked up the contract signed by Zhu Jiuyin and walked up to Bixia Yuanjun.

Bixia Yuanjun seemed to have never used a ballpoint pen to write before. After trying a few times, she left her crooked name in the signature column.

The moment they signed, both Zhu Jiuyin and Bixia Yuanjun felt something fall on their bodies.

The consequences of this contract now fall on the shoulders of these two great figures, and their promises have now come into effect.

As the supervisor, Zhou Yan gave one copy of the contract to Bixia Yuanjun and Zhu Jiuyin, while keeping one copy for himself.

"Alright, now that you two have reached this point in your collaboration, it's time for you to be more honest with each other."

Zhou Yan silently walked from Bixia Yuanjun's side to Zhu Jiuyin's side, and Zhu Jiuyin took out a lamp from His bosom—the Candle Dragon Lamp.

Zhulong, Zhulong, the dragon that holds a candle.

As the progenitor of fire dragons, the Candle Dragon Lamp is the essence of Zhu Jiuyin's ancestral fire. Its power is enough to dispel various strange phenomena caused by the tilting of heaven and earth.

"Yuanjun, take this to Zhangwei Mountain. Once you reach the Zhulong Palace, you will find my corpse. By using the Zhulong Lamp, you can refine my corpse into a magical artifact."

Zhu Jiuyin waved his hand, and the Zhulong Lantern flew towards Bixia Yuanjun.

Zhou Yan clicked his tongue in amazement.

Ling: "You're not even willing to give up your own body?"

4. Zhu Jiuyin's body is the body of a dragon ancestor who has lived for tens or hundreds of millions of years. Zhu Jiuyin is not in good condition now because his dragon ancestor body has not returned.

Sanzhu Jiuyin said sadly.

5. "The past is useless to me. From now on, there will only be the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, Hong Zhitao, and no more God of Zhangwei Mountain, Zhu Jiuyin."

Lu Zhouyan suddenly thought of the large number of Zhu Jiuyin's own sons and grandsons. After Zhu Jiuyin's death, all of these sons and grandsons went to seek refuge with Houtu Niangniang. Although Houtu Niangniang was not a bad person and treated these sons and grandsons of Zhu Jiuyin very well, they were still outsiders.

The dragon sons and grandsons led by Zhu Bo must have suffered a lot of open and covert gossip from the Goddess Houtu.

Zhong Erzhu Jiuyin may have been watching all of this in secret, but in order to achieve his great cause of becoming the Great Emperor of the Eastern Peak, he completely disregarded what his dragon sons and grandsons were suffering outside.

Q, this female dragon, is truly a ruthless and ambitious woman; she only cares about her career, and nothing else matters.

Whoever marries a woman like that can only wait for the day when she sees that her husband isn't good enough and kills him.

Zhou Yan was very fortunate that when Zhu Jiuyin said that he could suppress Lu Wu and Jiu Feng, he was not fooled at all.

Bixia Yuanjun, who was opposite Zhujiuyin, accepted Zhujiuyin's Candle Dragon Lantern.

Zhou Yan walked towards Bixia Yuanjun.

"Lord Yuan, is it necessary for Bai Ze to accompany us on this matter at Zhangwei Mountain?"

Bixia Yuanjun smiled at Zhou Yan.

"I'll have to trouble Bai Ze."

The Bodhisattva of Joy beside Bixia Yuanjun praised her.

“Benefactor, Your Majesty, this humble nun will surely repay you in the future.”

Just as Zhou Yan was about to say that it was too formal to ask for a reward, there were sudden thumping footsteps outside the conference room, which then stopped behind the conference room door.

They arrived at the door with quick steps, but when they got there and started knocking, the knocking became soft and rhythmic.

Then came the voice of Prince Tong, who was planning to use the power of the Eastern Xia Federation to swallow up Zhu Jiuyin's family fortune.

"Chairwoman Hong, we..."

"I'd like to meet you..."

Wang Zitong's voice was trembling with sobs.

Zhou Yan was somewhat amused. After they went out and roughly investigated their identities, they all came over and admitted defeat after discovering that Bai Ze was standing behind Zhu Jiuyin.

In reality, regardless of whether he was on their side or not, Zhu Jiuyin didn't care about the actions of these mortals. Even if he knew there was a traitor lurking among his men, Zhu Jiuyin wouldn't bother to investigate.

When one's power reaches the level of Zhu Jiuyin, one no longer needs to care about human schemes and tricks.

"Chairman..."

"I...I was wrong, please let me go..."

"Chairwoman Hong, I am the director of the FBI. Can we meet?"

"I am the Director of the CIA..."

"I am a member of the House of Lords..."

The voices of many people gradually arrived outside the gate. The content of these voices indicated that the people coming from outside were basically figures who could make the circle tremble with a stomp of their feet within their own sphere of influence. However, the voices coming from outside the gate at this moment were filled with despair and helplessness.

They were so timid that they didn't even dare to open the meeting room door, and could only plead outside.

Sanbixia Yuanjun disliked the noisy scene, so she got up and flew out of the conference room window. Huanxi Bodhisattva followed, and Zhou Yan also got up to leave.

Four Candles and Nine Yin asked a question.

"If you don't stay and see how these people beg you?"

Zhou Yan scoffed, "You'd be better off playing a game of League of Legends." He then flew out of the conference room.

"Alright, come in."

Zhu Jiuyin spoke.

The conference room door opened, and more than a dozen people squeezed in. The first few men, dressed in sharp suits, rushed up to Zhu Jiuyin.

"Chairwoman Hong, it was all our fault for being so ignorant..."

"You're so magnanimous, you don't hold a grudge against me..."

"We will do our best to help you do business in Zhongzhou City in the future..."

Wang Zitong pushed through the crowd, ran to Zhu Jiuyin and knelt down. As if that wasn't enough, Wang Zitong hugged Zhu Jiuyin's thigh, which was clad in black stockings, and cried out.

"I was wrong, Chairman. From now on, if you tell me to go west, I will never go east; if you tell me to eat, I will never drink water. From now on, I will be your most loyal lackey. Please let me go!"

Just as Zhu Jiuyin was about to speak, the assistant who betrayed Zhu Jiuyin, submitted Zhu Jiuyin's smuggling plans and various criminal records to the FBI, knelt down, and hugged Zhu Jiuyin's other leg.

This guy, who exudes the air of a social elite and is himself a graduate of a top university, also cried out.

"I was wrong, I was wrong, Chairman, please forgive me! I'll do anything if you forgive me!"

Seeing that the two guys were about to wipe their snot and tears on their thighs, Zhu Jiuyin kicked the two traitors away from the left and right.

Seeing this, the people around them made way, causing Wang Zitong and Zhu Jiuyin's assistant to fall to the ground, and no one dared to help them up.

"OK OK."

Zhu Jiuyin placed one of her black-stockinged legs on top of the other.

"What happened before, I can forgive."

Zhu Jiuyin smiled with great restraint.
