Mi Xue Bing Cheng, these were the nicknames Ji Mo gave to the two girls, symbolizing nobility and value.
Most importantly, value.
Ji Mo said happily, "Old Niu, keep an eye on them, then ask their families for money to ransom them. We're short on money for the war, aren't we? This is a timely rain."
"Ah, just money?"
Niu Ben and the Desolate Soul Devouring Toad were stunned. Such important hostages were only being ransomed for money?
They could definitely use these two girls to threaten the Eternal Alliance, making them support them in secret.
What was Mr. Ji's plan?
Ji Mo nodded, looking like a money-grubber, "Asking for a hundred million taels of gold shouldn't be too much, right?"
Since the other party's family was rich, it was natural to extort a hefty sum.
"A hundred million taels of gold?"
Niu Ben and the Desolate Soul Devouring Toad exchanged glances, thinking that Mr. Ji must have some ulterior motive.
If he caught these two girls, how could he be greedy for a mere hundred million?
If they wanted money, the Eternal Alliance would pay any amount. A hundred million taels of gold was not even a drop in the bucket for such a top-tier power.
"What, didn't you say they were worth a lot of money? Aren't these two girls worth a hundred million?"
Ji Mo's enthusiasm waned a little, feeling disappointed that he had been excited for nothing, thinking he could make a fortune.
"Bad guy, you're audacious! How dare you kidnap us? Don't you know our identities?" Bing'er said angrily. She didn't expect anyone in the Demon Realm to dare kidnap her and her sister, as if they didn't want to live.
She had this confidence.
Because the Eternal Alliance was described as having overwhelming power in the Demon Realm, no one dared to provoke them.
Changes of dynasties and rulers occurred frequently in the Demon Realm, but the Eternal Alliance always stood firm, having been passed down for countless years. The saying went: flowing Demon Lords, ironclad Eternal Alliance, a truth understood by every being in the Demon Realm.
In some aspects, the Eternal Alliance had more authority than the Demon Lords due to its profound foundation. Over the long years, countless Demon Immortals had ascended from the Alliance, giving them immense backing.
"I dare to rebel, why would I care about your identity?" Ji Mo said dismissively, not caring about their identities at all.
He was here to stir up trouble in the Demon Realm, so of course, he was fearless.
"Little girl, don't be too arrogant. Your identities are nothing in front of Mr. Ji," the Desolate Soul Devouring Toad said, telling the two girls not to put on airs.
Who was Mr. Ji? A true man who dared to contend with the Heavenly Demons. What wouldn't he dare to do?
Xue'er saw the Desolate Soul Devouring Toad showing such respect to Ji Mo and suddenly realized, exclaiming in surprise, "So you're the real rebel leader! You bad guy. I knew it, how could a toad and a bull demon dare to rebel? It turns out you were behind it all."
The Desolate Soul Devouring Toad and Niu Ben were displeased. What kind of talk was that, as if they were cowards?
"Little girl, you don't know me. Back in the day, I led a large army to fight the White Emperor." The Desolate Soul Devouring Toad wanted to recall his glorious past deeds, not wanting to be looked down upon by these two girls.
However, Xue'er mercilessly mocked him, "What war? You were always defeated, beaten down, you never won a single battle."
Niu Ben cleared his throat and patted his solid chest, saying, "Back then..."
"You're nothing. The Desolate Bull Demon tribe declined under your leadership, you prodigal son," Bing'er directly cut off Niu Ben's boasting, silencing him on the spot.
Niu Ben felt a lump in his throat and was truly unable to refute, feeling a pang of heartache.
It had to be said that these two little girls were sharp-tongued, making the Desolate Soul Devouring Toad and Niu Ben feel ashamed to face them.
Mainly, they couldn't argue with two little girls.
"Rebel leader, what about you? Do you have anything to show off?"
Having won their argument, the two girls, smug and triumphant, turned their attention to Ji Mo, wanting to know his background that he dared to kidnap and extort them.
"Me? I'm just an ordinary person, unremarkable." Ji Mo scratched his head. The Moon God Ring on his little finger shone with divine light, emanating a sacred aura.
Then, he idly touched the Void Shuttle hanging on his chest, from which a demonic aura flowed.
He looked melancholic, feeling that although he was proficient in various skills, he seemed useless in the world of cultivators.
The two girls stared at Ji Mo, dumbfounded, as if turned to stone.
Did that ring just emit a divine aura? Could it be a divine artifact?
And what was that pendant? It looked exactly like the Void Shuttle of the legendary Heavenly Demon Lord. This was a genuine damaged divine artifact!
Most importantly, this was an item belonging to Chi Yan, and he had actually claimed it as his own and even used it as an ornament!
Then, an even more exaggerated scene unfolded.
The Iron Eater Beast trotted over from a distance, hugged Ji Mo's leg, and acted spoiled, indicating it was hungry.
"Ni... Ni Tie Lord!"
The two girls' jaws dropped, and they rubbed their eyes desperately.
They had heard that Ni Tie Lord didn't even bother with the Heavenly Demon Lord, yet now it was acting spoiled and fawning over this guy?
But Ni Tie Lord looked so cute and adorable!
They really wanted to hug and pet it, wondering what it would feel like.
Indeed, no one in the world could resist a panda that acted cute and spoiled.
The two girls' eyes were fixed, with little stars appearing in their pupils.
"Alas, this Ji Demon Head has shown off again!" Niu Ben was amazed, thinking this was the highest level of showing off.
He seemed very low-key, yet that damned Versailles aura was truly nowhere to be contained.
With such an impressive demeanor, he felt he would need a lifetime to learn.
"Mr. Ji is indeed such an unremarkable man." The Desolate Soul Devouring Toad nodded in agreement, not thinking Ji Mo was showing off.
This was probably the highest realm of the Dao of Simplicity, where everything returned to the ordinary.
Regardless of his cultivation, Mr. Ji's state of mind had reached an unfathomable level.
"Contact their families and see what they are willing to offer for the ransom. You can handle it," Ji Mo did not wish to keep these two sharp-tongued girls. He casually adjusted his collar and turned to leave.
Instantly, several pairs of eyes on the scene widened.
That pattern...
It was the Heavenly Demon Mark!
The Desolate Soul Devouring Toad had heard about it from the proprietress, but he hadn't believed it. Now, he was astonished.
As for Niu Ben and the two girls, their hearts pounded. What was this guy's background?
If he was an incarnation of the Heavenly Demon, then who was the one who descended from the Imperial City Temple?
"Hey, bad guy, take off your clothes and let us have a good look." Mi Xue Bing Cheng's hearts were itching like a cat's, desperately wanting to uncover the truth.
They wanted to see clearly if the pattern on Ji Mo's body was indeed the Heavenly Demon Mark.
As they spoke, they decisively lunged at Ji Mo.
"Hey, what are you doing? Let go, don't pull at my clothes!" Ji Mo was stunned.
"Amazing!" Niu Ben gave a thumbs-up. "With this, those two girls from the Eternal family probably won't escape Mr. Ji's grasp. Truly worthy of being called Ji Demon Head. He wants the people, and he wants the ransom. He intends to gain both wealth and pleasure, and perhaps he'll even take over the Eternal Alliance."
He looked at the Desolate Soul Devouring Toad and asked curiously, "Ha, is that Heavenly Demon Mark fake?"
The Desolate Soul Devouring Toad spread his short, stubby claws and shook his head, unsure.
If it were real, it would be very interesting!
Then, his expression changed drastically, filled with shock. It turned out Mr. Ji's ambitions were immense; he was playing a grand game.
