Chapter 148 Strength Matters
Feeling sentimental about spring and autumn can't really put food on the table; there are still things to do.

Cheng Mai just didn't expect that Shang Xingjian would entrust the child's spirit to her care.

Cheng Mai looked at Shang Xingjian with a dangerous glint in his eyes, thinking that he was probably really out of his mind to entrust his ex-wife and the child he had with him to take care of.

Isn't he afraid that she might kill his poor little brat on a whim?
"You seem to trust me completely," Cheng Mai sneered.

Shang Xingjian has recovered from the emo mood she was just experiencing and is in a good mood now.

“Anyone in this world could be hostile to him, except you.” Shang Xingjian said, glancing at the time, “Aren’t we going to settle the Bashe clan? Let’s go.”

"Xiao Qian has gone to settle things. You've lost your memory?" Cheng Mai carefully held the ball, afraid that something might happen to this hot thing in her hands.

However, the main purpose of life is to seek excitement. As the saying goes, what you fear most is what happens. The little ball in Cheng Mai's hand seemed to have a life of its own, and it playfully rolled around in Cheng Mai's palm.

Cheng Mai: "..." Is this a provocation?

Do you believe she could crush that little brat right now?
"The little brat is just being affectionate with you," Shang Xingjian kindly explained.

Cheng Mai gave him a cold look, then put the little brat into his pocket, clearly accepting the explanation.

Shang Xingjian had been watching her reaction closely, and seemed relieved when he saw her put the cub into her pocket.

Although they weren't going to help the Bashe clan relocate, Cheng Mai and Shang Xingjian still had to go to Yun City. With the initial construction nearly complete, Shang Xingjian would begin to truly establish his territory. The Spirit Realm was different from the Human Realm. The Human Realm valued propriety, morality, and a sense of shame, as well as the seven emotions and six desires, and had many rules and regulations. However, the Spirit Realm revered strength above all else. Cheng Mai disapproved of this, but Shang Xingjian had no intention of changing it.

As long as this boundary is clearly defined, that is their rule.

“Everything in the world has its own rules. There are rules for the human world and rules for the spirit world. This is a world where strength speaks. You have to follow its rules. The advantage of this system is that these things don’t have brains. As long as you can beat them, they will submit.” Shang Xingjian led Cheng Mai to the mountain. At this moment, the boundary between them was very clear. On one side was the human world, and on the other side was the endless void.

Many cities will appear here in the future, but the people living in them will no longer be human.

It won't be long before creatures are already showing off and grabbing territory.

Because of the arrival of the merchant Jian, these people became more obedient and did not let Cheng Mai see where the real-life Fantastic Beasts were.
"Look, this is where strength matters. As long as your strength is high enough, these creatures will listen to you. Therefore, the higher consciousness determines the ecological balance."

Cheng Mai followed Shang Xingjian's side, listening to his words. Therefore, in the spirit world, as long as the values ​​of those in power are correct, there will not be any major deviations.

These so-called superiors were the Twelve Gods tens of thousands of years ago.

How could the twelve celestial beings have warped values?
"Simple business, what if the higher-ups make the wrong decision?" Cheng Mai suddenly asked.

“Life was devastated, and everything restarted anew.” Shang Xingjian explained calmly, “The world is a cycle of reincarnation. Who can be sure that the earliest beings you know are truly the highest beings? This Earth has already restarted countless times.”
