"Lu Lu" — this cute nickname really didn’t fit a burly man.
It even sounded like a pet’s name.
But Lu Linian didn’t dare feel any displeasure.
The moment he heard Ye Yu’s question, his whole body felt as if plunged into an ice cave, chilled to the bone.
He started desperately reflecting whether he had done anything wrong lately.
But honestly, to outsiders he was ruthless, yet loyal to Great Demon Ye without fail.
He hadn’t done any wrongdoing.
So why would Great Demon Ye suddenly ask such a profound question?
Still, as a subordinate, when the big brother asks, even if you don’t know the answer, you have to force yourself to reply.
"Big Brother, I really don’t understand justice as well as you do. But recently, I bought some books and learned that justice means caring for the weak, helping demons turn away from evil, and other things..."
Before Lu Linian finished, Ye Yu’s eyes suddenly brightened.
"Right!"
"Besides eradicating the extremely wicked, there’s another path."
"Caring for the weak is definitely a long-term task, hardly yielding many justice points quickly."
"But reforming evil demons is different. Persuading demons to turn good definitely has potential!"
So Ye Yu suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice,
"Alright, from today on, I won’t just kill those wicked demons; I will start persuading them to repent!"
Hearing this,
Lu Linian asked in disbelief,
"Ah? Big Brother, really no more killing?"
"Yes, no lies here! Tomorrow, help me pick a few targets. I want to teach them to yearn for justice!"
Ye Yu straightened his clothes, already making plans.
For so many years, killing demons physically gave fewer and fewer justice points.
Apparently, the Justice Heart talent didn’t want him to keep milking it forever.
So then, change plans!
Once confirmed feasible, Ye Yu was ready to shine on this new path!
But he didn’t know Lu Linian was quite shocked inside.
Honestly, all demons within ten thousand li, including Lu Linian, thought Ye Yu was a complete demon-killing maniac.
Just dressed up in a fake robe of justice.
Because what demon would kill another without reason?
Surely, Ye Yu’s murderous intent was just too strong.
But who would have thought, Ye Yu’s tone today seemed truly sincere for justice!
Saying no more killing, and now wanting to reform demons?
That was a much harder task!
"Big Brother, we demons live by survival of the fittest. Who can clearly tell right from wrong?"
Though it was difficult, Lu Linian still braced himself.
The next day, the always pouting man was trembling as he was brought over.
Lu Linian stood beside him, holding a paper over a meter long, sticking onto it the demon’s crimes!
Spitting anywhere, farting waterfalls, eating several young demons, and so forth.
These things might be utterly normal to other demons, but not to Ye Yu.
If it’s justice, it must be thorough.
Over the years, the demons physically eradicated over trivial matters could rebuild a whole Wanxuan Mountain.
So the crocodile demon Sang Azhao was pale and sweating cold.
Looking at Lu Linian, his eyes held more hatred.
"Damn old Lu! When you collected my stuff yesterday, you promised to speak well of me."
"Well, today when you say my name, you leave no mercy!"
"Just wait, even as a ghost, I won’t let you go!"
Why a ghost?
Because simply, Azhao didn’t think he would survive this time.
Previously, other demons were killed over a single issue.
This time his list was over a meter long; no chance of survival.
Especially with Ye the Madman right in front of him — no escape!
Yes, outside demons called Ye Yu "Ye the Madman."
Killing demons under the banner of justice — he was the only one in the demon realm!
Sometimes it really seemed unbelievable.
A vegetarian sheep demon with such a murderous heart? Not at all matching his species’ traits.
But now it was too late, he ✪ Nоvеlіgһt ✪ (Official version) accepted fate.
Azhao fearfully closed his eyes, no longer struggling.
Soon Lu Linian finished reading the over-meter-long crimes.
"Huff, what a test of lung capacity. Also very exhausting. Collecting all of Azhao’s crimes took a lot of effort. I just want to satisfy Big Brother."
Lu Linian folded the paper and solemnly asked,
"Big Brother, it’s like this — what do you think should be done?"
Ye Yu slowly stood in front of Azhao and said,
"A truly heavily sinful demon! From today on, reform yourself and become a just demon, okay?"
"What?"
Azhao’s eyes filled with shock, tentatively asking,
"You... you won’t kill me? You’re giving me a chance to repent?"
Ye Yu smiled,
"Yes, but you must promise to reform!"
"I will reform, I really will. From today, I will be a just demon, doing no evil deeds! Also, about my ugliness, I’ve decided to wear a veil when going out so as not to scare any young demons!"
Azhao’s attitude was sincere, as if he truly had a great awakening.
Even Lu Linian believed it, almost wanting to say a good word.
Ahem, this was absolutely not because of yesterday’s tribute, but purely heartfelt!
Ye Yu’s smile gradually faded.
He muttered,
"You’re not truly reforming, you’re lying!"
Azhao hurriedly waved his hands,
"No, really not!"
Ye Yu snorted coldly.
He knew best whether Azhao reformed, just by checking if the justice points came in.
Since the system’s voice hadn’t sounded, it meant this little crocodile was lying and just going through the motions.
How could that be acceptable? Why was persuading demons so hard?
Angered, Ye Yu directly broke one of Azhao’s ribs, then coldly said,
"No slacking off! You must truly yearn for justice, or I will be very unhappy!"
"Ah!!!"
Azhao’s screams continued nonstop!
Lu Linian covered his face with one hand, thinking, as expected, Big Brother was still the same.
Still that ruthless sheep demon!
Meanwhile, tens of thousands of li away on a demon mountain,
A very tall man stood atop the peak, looking toward Wanxuan Mountain, murmuring,
"Persuading demons to yearn for justice? Like me — are we both mad?"
