Sang Qingxiao was contemplating whether to comfort him or change the subject when Misha unexpectedly shifted the topic, starting to plan the business of the Small Tavern. The items traded by the demon clan were indeed numerous, and although it was unclear where all those boxes of Gold and Silver Jewelry came from, if you only paid for the goods without timely reselling them, your money would dwindle.
Sang Qingxiao nodded. "I haven't been in Jingjing City for long, so I haven't had a chance to manage it yet. Besides, if the trading volume in the capital is too large, it might attract the attention of the court, and we can't openly state where these goods come from."
Misha shared her thoughts. "Doesn't Yongxin Marquis have his own merchant team? We can operate at the maximum capacity of the Small Tavern, reserving double the amount of ingredients. The rest can be sold to Yongxin Marquis. He has nearly three thousand people at Wolf Howl Camp in the Suburbs of the Capital, and there are likely even more hidden forces."
Sang Qingxiao calculated silently. With that number of people, our Small Tavern might not be able to supply enough. We could let those demons expand their cultivation; more crops would lead to greater yields, making life a bit easier. We could also buy some shops in the city to sell these goods, hiring demons from the city as staff.
Upon hearing this, Sang Qingxiao's smile faded, and her voice turned serious. "Old Vine certainly knows how to brainwash you."
Misha did not deny it. "Old Vine only informed me about the current situation of various demon clans; everything else is my own thinking."
Sang Qingxiao scoffed. "He certainly absolves himself of any responsibility."
Indeed, it was true that demons were weak. Humans would resist if their lives became difficult; demons were no different. If demons had hope for survival, the conflicts between humans and demons would lessen, wouldn't they?
"Yes, you're right," Misha replied. "But my identity makes it inappropriate for me to get too close to demons. Doing business with them like this already crosses a line, but it's also a necessity given the circumstances."
"Has Old Vine ever mentioned the Demon Clan Town Guardian?"
"He brought it up briefly but didn't elaborate."
Sang Qingxiao explained further. "Old Vine has rambled on about many things because of his feelings toward demons. I worried that his descriptions might be biased, so while he was sleeping, I browsed through his memories."
Old Vine had lived for so long that his memories were both extensive and tedious. Moreover, since he often slept, many memories were fragmented, making it quite challenging for Sang Qingxiao to piece them together.
She continued, saying that conflicts between humans and demons had existed since ancient times and often resulted in significant casualties. Zhenyuan Si was established by a certain demon leader who had a sudden idea to reduce conflicts by setting up an oversight body similar to that of humans.
Zhenyuan Si—"Zhen" means to suppress evil demons while also guarding the demon clan; "Yuan" signifies beginnings and innovation. This move effectively promoted friendly exchanges between humans and demons, resolving conflicts through dialogue and cooperation.
The first batch of Demon Catchers in the world was actually trained by Zhenyuan Si's demons. Only by knowing both oneself and one's enemy could they easily find ways to deal with evil demons.
Afterward, there was a period when humans and demons experienced great integration. It was from that time that demon clan Demon Catchers' skills began spreading among humans, leading to the gradual formation of human Demon Catchers.
Killing evil demons while protecting their kind; killing evil humans while safeguarding their own. Demon Catchers could kill evil humans just as human Demon Catchers could kill evil demons—but only if there was solid evidence.
Zhenyuan Si even set up a tribunal inviting citizens from both races to witness trials.
At that time, everyone said Zhenyuan Si was the most just place in the world.
However, later on, when trouble arose within the demon clan forcing them into exile overseas, Zhenyuan Si vanished from this world entirely, and demon clan Demon Catchers had long since disappeared without a trace.
The world only knows of the Demon Catchers among the human race, unaware that the position of Demon Catcher actually originated from the demon clan. Old Vine often complains that the human Demon Catchers are extremely unfair in their dealings; they only kill demons, turning a blind eye when humans harm demons, all while considering themselves superior and looking down on the demon race.
After encountering me, it took my life-saving as an excuse and constantly urged me to become a demon clan Demon Catcher.
"Did you agree?" Misha asked.
I promised it: If demons harm humans, I will kill demons; if humans harm demons, I will kill humans.
