Big Lord Demon backed up. He did not look happy at all. He alarmingly shook his head and said, โNo way! This spear is the basis of the Demons. We wonโt lend it to others!โ
The lady in red smiled and said, โThose were the words of Lord Demon. Lord Demonโs dead now, so you get to decide who borrows it. Moreover… Borrowing us the spear is beneficial for both of us.โ
Big Lord Demon sounded determined, โI get to decide, and I still decide not to lend it to you!โ
He furrowed his brow. He had to sigh because he could not make up his mind.
That was a moment that showed the importance of good leadership. Back then, no matter what the Asura kind had to say, Lord Demon would confidently reject them. Even if Lord Demon God was in deep slumber, Lord Demon would never allow the Asura kind to become powerful.
However…things had changed. More importantly, Lord Demon passed away too suddenly. He did not even leave his will. It was a troubling situation for Big Lord Demon.
โBig Lord Demon, the situation now is detrimental for you Demons!โ
The lady in red chuckled. She said, โDemons are supposed to rise when Buddhism falls. You finally waited till the day came but now, you have all these unnecessary changes. All these failures, even your Lord Demon died for no reason. What else can you do next?โ
The simple question left Big Lord Demon stumped.
The lady in red noticed that Big Lord Demon did not respond. She continued, โSo… How about you borrow the God Killing Spear to us Asuras. Help us remove the seal of our Master. We can change things around. Itโll be good for both of us.โ
Big Lord Demon hesitated. โWhatโs in it for the Demons if we free your Master?โ
โMy Masterโs acquainted with your Lord Demon God. Weโll help you out if you run into trouble. Also…the people that the Demons arenโt able to attack, weโre able to!โ
The lady in red paused. Then, she said, โThis is the best solution by far. You Demons have Lord Demon God. Are you seriously worried that the Asura kind will attack the Demons?โ
Big Lord Demon felt conflicted. His mind was running in circles. In the end, he nodded and said, โOkay. You made quite some sense! But I need you to help us attack the Kirins!โ
The Demons were weak at the moment. He had a grudge with the Kirins, too. He also had no other choice.
The lady in red naturally agreed. She asked, โHehe, of course. Whereโs the spear?โ
โThis is an important matter. Follow me.โ
…
The next day.
The warm sun peeked its head out from the clouds and chased away the darkness. Light was brought to the realm.
It was early in the morning. Ziye visited Li Nianfan to invite him for the event preparations.
The end-of-the-year event was located at the Eastside. It was a huge space. When Li Nianfan arrived, the venue had been cleared up. The roads were clean and tidy. A lot of familiar faces had gathered there, too. They were rehearsing in an orderly manner.
They all hurriedly greeted Li Nianfan when they saw him.
Cheng Yi passed him a golden piece of paper with tidy words printed on it. โMr. Li, we followed your suggestion. Iโve listed the performances here.โ
Li Nianfan looked at the performance list with curiosity. The others tensed up. They nervously observed his facial expression. They were afraid that the expert would not be impressed by the performances.
There were not many performances, just eight in total. However, Li Nianfan knew that there was a ninth performance, the final performance.
โThe first performance… Pageant Performance of the Three Sea Beauties.โ Li Nianfan looked at Ao Cheng. He smiled and said, โBrother Ao, this is the performance you prepared, right?โ
โYou know us so well, Mr. Li. It is,โ Ao Cheng said in response. Then, he said, โI brought the performers. We can show it to you now, Mr. Li.โ
He gestured with a wave and twenty figures jogged over. They were all ladies of the sea and they looked extremely beautiful. They were chosen beauties of the sea, too. They looked very anxious because they knew they were being assessed by the bigshot.
Ao Cheng said with seriousness, โPut some effort into the performance.โ
The twenty sea ladies immediately went into formation and started to dance.
The three species of sea ladies had different styles. However, their bodies were extremely great. Their dances were light and seductive, plus they were wearing very little clothing. It was fantastic to look at. They were truly the three beauties of the sea.
He had to say that the dance formation was a killer performance. If it appeared in his past realm, the performance would have gone viral on the Internet for sure.
However… Li Nianfan frowned.
He did not speak. He waited until the dance performance was over. Then, he said, โBrother Ao Cheng, I think this performance of yours is slightly inappropriate.โ
Ao Cheng instantly focused. He hurriedly asked, โMr. Li, are there any dissatisfactions? Or are you displeased with someone among the performers?โ
โThe performance is good, the performers are beautiful, too. Itโs just the setting thatโs unsuitable.โ
Li Nianfan paused. He said, โYour performance should be focused on showcasing the sea people. Itโs not supposed to please the crowd. I think you can change your performance into a Sea People Showcase. You have beauty, but you also need strength.โ
The performance was a public show. To put it more straightforwardly, it was vulgar. Li Nianfan felt like Ao Cheng misunderstood what a public performance was. It was eye-catching, but would the people like it?
Ao Cheng immediately promised, โDonโt worry, Mr. Li. Iโll improve it.โ
โThe second performance, a zither performance. โHigh Mountains and Flowing Waterโ.
โThe third performance, Water and Fire Battle.โ
Then, Li Nianfan watched the performances according to the performance list. He gave some suggestions and advice from time to time.
Truthfully, the performances were flawless for the Immortal Realm that lacked entertainment, especially when the crowd was ordinary people. Each performance was fantastic. Unless it was a misdirected performance like Ao Chengโs, Li Nianfan had nothing much to comment on.
Suddenly, several figures flew in from the Fallen Townโs direction. Black and White Impermanence led the way. They looked flustered.
โMr. Li, Emperor, Empress.โ
Black and White Impermanence said straightforwardly, โWhy didnโt you guys tell us about the big end-of-the-year event? If we werenโt informed by the Fallen Townโs City God Temple, we wouldโve missed this.โ
White Impermanence moved aside. He introduced, โMr. Li, look at the ghosts behind me, what do you think? They can all sing and dance. We found out about the event and instantly picked them. Count us in on that performance list.โ
Li Nianfan looked at the pale-faced ghosts. He smiled awkwardly and said, โBrother White, ghosts and Humans donโt go well together. This…is unsuitable. It really canโt be helped.โ
The audience would be full of ordinary people. The ghosts were willing to perform for the ordinary people, but would the ordinary people dare to watch?
The thought of it was chilling.
โMr. Li, donโt reject us so quickly. The ghosts of the Underworld are very talented.โ Black Impermanence hurriedly tried to fix it. He pushed out a ghost and said, โPerform a beheading for Mr. Li.โ
The ghost immediately plucked his head off without a second word.
Li Nianfan was a knowledgeable man but he was frightened by that unexpected action.
Black Impermanence continued, โAnd this too, perform a tongue trick.โ
Another ghost stepped out and opened her mouth. A bloody tongue fell out and rolled to the floor.
Black Impermanence was proud of it. โHow is it? These performances are fresh, right? Itโll entertain the people for sure.โ
Li Nianfan shut his eyes. He did not dare to look.
โThis is a performance event, not a horror movie theatre.โ
The Jade Emperor noticed that Li Nianfan did not look well. He hurriedly gestured, โDrag them away, hurry up and drag them away! What is this?โ
Black Impermanence still said, โIf itโs not acceptable, we can improve it. Please, give us a chance.โ
Li Nianfan said, โNo more chances. I think you guys have misunderstood what a performance is more than Brother Ao Cheng did. Itโs not suitable, itโs really not. This isnโt for you.โ
He was worried that if he allowed the Underworld to participate, a bunch of audiences would pass away with terror.
Black and White Impermanence looked down. They sighed and felt like they could not help the expert. โPerhaps we ghosts just donโt have performing talents in us?โ
Suddenly, Li Nianfan thought of something. He said, โEmperor, Empress, I suddenly thought of something. Even if the end-of-the-year event is grand, it would only attract the nearby Humans to come watch it, right?โ
The Jade Emperor was helpless about that. โIndeed so.โ
Li Nianfan asked, โThen, can we use spells to set up a television in each area so that other people from other cities could watch it?โ
โTelevision?โ The Jade Emperor and Empress did not understand.
Li Nianfan explained, โOur performances here could be projected to other areas at the same time.โ
The Jade Emperor and Empress jumped. They instantly understood it. They immediately had new ideas, followed by a joyful feeling.
โWe can! We can do that with our powers!โ The Jade Emperor immediately smiled. Then, he laughed and exclaimed, โIn that case, we could save time and effort. We can get a lot of people to believe in the Heavenly Palace in a short amount of time! Nice, this is too nice! My powers are capable of doing so, why didnโt I think of it?โ
They could achieve their desired effect in one night when it originally needed hundreds of years.
The original ten thousand audiences could instantly become millions of audiences.
The Empress was also excited. She hurriedly thanked the expert, โMr. Li, your ideaโs too important for the Heavenly Palace. Thank you.โ
โYouโre welcome, Empress. It was just a thought.โ
Li Nianfan smiled and said, โI only thought of it because I saw Black and White Impermanence. A lot of places have City God Temples now. The effect of projecting the event through City God Temples must be fantastic. However, Iโm afraid weโll have to trouble the Underworld.โ
Black and White Impermanence instantly turned their frowns upside down. They said, โNo trouble at all. Donโt worry, Mr. Li. We got this.โ
