In the Northern Continent, the boundless ice and snow marks the territory of the Demon Kingdom.

The seven Great Saints weren't fools; they would never establish the Demon Kingdom within human domains.

But recently, the Bull Demon King was somewhat agitated.

"My wise brothers, our female demon emissaries have been gone so long, why has there been no news?"

"Yeah, it's strange!"

The six other Demon Saints also found it odd. Previously, some demons would be bewitched by the Jade-faced Fox and at least a few female demons would return to report.

This time, they were all female demons who were sent, yet not even a single message came through.

"What exactly has happened at Huaguo Mountain that all the demons we sent have disappeared!"

"Could they have been killed?"

"Even if they died, there should be some news!"

As the Demon Saints were discussing, the Bear Demon King stood up.

"Don't worry, my brothers!"

This Bear Demon, a native of the Northern Continent with a tiger's back and bear's waist, bushy brows and large eyes, said: "I've already sent two of my top generals there. They are very powerful, so even if they encounter danger, they should be able to return and bring us news!"

"Little brother, please take a seat!"

The Bull Demon King bade the Bear Demon King to sit and passed him a drink: "We are all Great Saints of the Demon World. If the Monkey King dares to kill my children, we will call upon all Demon Saints to seize Huaguo Mountain!"

"This idea makes sense!"

The other Great Saints voiced their agreement.

Then, another two months passed. The seven Great Saints were leading the demons in building a city, but the Bull Demon King wore a grave expression.

"Little brother, how come your generals still haven't returned?"

The Bear Demon King also wore a puzzled look.

"Don't worry, big brother"

Grasping a cleaver, the Bear Demon King announced: "I'll go check it out myself."

The Bull Demon King nodded: "Be careful, wise brother."

The Bear Demon King cast a spell, transforming into a black cloud and flew off southward.

At Huaguo Mountain, in the evening, a Wolf Demon was preparing to tidy up the wooden crates.

"Today was another bountiful day, brother!"

A Weasel Demon came over.

With a beaming face, the Wolf Demon said: "Absolutely, we've earned more silver than we could count! I even bought the latest flower-scented perfume from the Jade-faced Fox today."

"Really?" The Weasel Demon looked envious: "The female demons have been working like crazy lately, seemingly just to buy that!"

"I'm going to give it to the snow leopard sister working at the pawnshop." The Wolf Demon chuckled: "She looked down on me back in the cave, but now she will surely see me in a new light."

"I'm so envious of you," the Weasel Demon said. "I passed the recommendation office's exam."

"Is that true? That's amazing! Are you going to become a craftsman of Huaguo Mountain?"

The Wolf Demon was shocked: "That's even more attractive to female demons than flower perfume!"

The Weasel Demon shyly touched his nose: "I want to devote my life to Huaguo Mountain."

"What did you say!!"

Hearing this, the distant Bear Demon King erupted in rage: "This is infuriating!"

The Wolf and Weasel Demons trembled in fear at the sight of the Bear Demon King.

"Gr-Great King…"

"Don't call me Great King!"

The Bear Demon King was fuming: "I sent you here, what are you doing!"

"We—we…" the Weasel Demon swallowed hard.

"Boss, do you have any more ice blocks?"

A Rabbit Demon approached the Wolf Demon and asked.

"Yes, we have…"

The Wolf Demon nervously took a block of ice from the crate: "Thirty silver pieces."

The Bear Demon King's eyes fixed on the Rabbit Demon.

Once the Rabbit Demon left with the ice block, the Bear Demon King spoke again.

"What kind of Transformation State is this supposed to be! Are all the female demons here like this?"

"Yes, yes."

The Wolf and Weasel Demons hastened to nod: "Our female demons have also all become like this."

"This is outrageous!"

The Demon King appeared furious, berating the two demons fiercely.

Tired of scolding, he finally asked, "Are these ice blocks sold for thirty broken silvers?"

The Wolf Demon nodded fearfully.

"How much does it cost to make an ice block?"

The Demon King continued to ask.

"I don't know, I've never calculated it..."

The Wolf Demon didn't understand why the Great King was asking this.

However, upon seeing the fierce gaze of the Bear Demon King, he immediately shuddered, "Ap-ap-proximately three broken silvers..."

"Three broken silvers!"

The Bear Demon King gasped in surprise, "How many do you sell in a day?"

"Ab-about one to two hundred wood ice blocks..."

The Wolf Demon replied.

The Bear Demon King's eyes widened suddenly.

"Oh..."

The Demon King glared at the two demons, "Are you making money for the Demon Kingdom or what!"

The Wolf Demon immediately found a reason and nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, Great King, I want to make some silver for the Demon Kingdom!"

"Hmph!" The Bear Demon King snorted coldly, "I have to see if you're lying or not!"

He stayed on.

After a few days, the Bear Demon King, satisfied, came out of the restaurant with a toothpick in hand.

"The food here is really good."

He patted his bulging purse, "I don't even know how to spend all this money. I never expected that wood ice was so profitable!"

"Yes, Great King." The Wolf Demon followed beside him, speaking with a flattering face, "Our cave is naturally cold, and we've learned a lot of cold spells, which are just perfect for use here!"

"But it's still too little."

The Bear Demon King was somewhat dissatisfied, "I think making wood ice doesn't showcase my prowess!"

The Wolf Demon was suddenly startled, "Great King, aren't you going back?"

"Are you dumb? The food and drink here are good, why should I go back!"

The Bear Demon King sneered. He had bought a new bed the day before yesterday, and the sleep was so comfortable, how could he go back to sleeping in a cave?

The Wolf Demon wanted to cry inside. This Demon King, with his vast divine skills, could create hundreds of little bear spirits. If he continued to stay here, he might monopolize the entire wood ice business of Huaguo Mountain.

"Great King, the six Great Saints are all waiting for you!" The Wolf Demon urged, "The Demon Kingdom can't be without you!"

"Don't mention them." The Bear Demon King waved his hands dismissively, "I called them brothers and gave up my territory, thinking I could enjoy the good life with them. But then, they brought over tens of thousands of demons, and now they have all started to eat grass!"

Thinking back to the days in Northern Continent, the Bear Demon King felt that it was no way to live for a demon.

Being a Great King in the icy, snowy lands there was far less comfortable than being a merchant in Huaguo Mountain.

"I've decided to stay."

The Bear Demon King declared, "Those female demons have also become beautiful and know how to dress up. If I take one as a wife, wouldn't my days be delightful?"

"You didn't talk like this a few days ago..."

The Wolf Demon mumbled in his heart.

"That Monkey King is truly a Wise Monkey!"

The Bear Demon King internally admired Sun Wukong, thinking, now this is a Demon Saint who knows how to live.

"You say, what should I do to get noticed by the Monkey King?"

The Bear Demon King asked. He knew in his heart that the Monkey King did not favor brute strength in demons.

"Great King, why not go to the Recruitment Agency?"

The Wolf Demon suggested.

The Recruitment Agency was an institution recently established by the Monkey King, specifically to assign jobs to those demons from outside who arrived at Huaguo Mountain without schooling but possessed talents.

"Through its self-recommendations and screenings, you might get a chance to meet the Monkey King!"

The Wolf Demon handed the Bear Demon King a piece of paper, "This is a self-recommendation form written by the Monkey King."

The Bear Demon King grabbed it and looked.

The very first question that met his eyes.

"What is the one crucial thing or value that you absolutely will not give up on at work?"

The Bear Demon King was shocked to his core. A Wise Monkey indeed.

He had no idea how to answer what was written.

"What is a value?"
