"Yes, it's normal. In fact, it's necessary," Lu Fanghui said seriously.
Lu Fanghui said seriously. "Meng Chao, we're both powerful people, and this is the brutal Other World. The morals the powerful people in the Other World uphold are completely different from the morals the normal people on Earth uphold.
"Ever since we transmigrated, Dragon City has always been a lone army in the Other World. What is the most important thing for the continuation of Dragon City's civilization? Population! It's especially important when it comes to high-quality people! They have to continue the genes of the powerful and pass down the power of the powerful. They have to be born with great cultivation potential!
"We only have a few tens of millions of people, and most of them are powerless normal people. It's enough for us in Monster Mountain Range, but if we spread them all over the Other World, it's the same as sprinkling salt into the ocean. We won't be able to cause any waves.
"So, aside from cultivating and fighting, the most important mission for powerful people like us is to spread the seeds of our lives and produce as many powerful children as possible so that we can continuously increase the quality of Dragon City's population and the average fighting strength.
"If you still adhere to the ideals of having one husband and one wife on Earth and grow old together, you'll be satisfying your pedantic and laughable obsession with morality, but you'll be the greatest irresponsibility towards the future of Dragon City's civilization!
"So, in the circle of the powerful, this is very normal, logical, and even glorious. It's all for the sake of civilization!
"Trust me, Siya has seen this a lot when she was young. She's an ambitious person. As long as you can ensure that the trade goes smoothly, she won't mind this sort of trivial matter."
There was too much information in those words, and it was too exciting.
Meng Chao's brain could not process it for a period of time, and his forehead burned.
"Uncle Lu, can you open the window? I want to breathe in some fresh air," Meng Chao said.
Lu Fanghui's eyes moved, and the indicators on the LCD dashboard shone. Meng Chao slowly rolled down the window, and the pouring rain and rumbling thunder immediately rushed into the carriage like a flash flood.
But no matter how loud the wind, rain, thunder, and lightning were, they could not suppress Meng Chao's pounding heart.
He stretched his hand out of the window and grabbed a handful of cold rainwater to wipe his face.
"Uncle Lu, about this …" Meng Chao calmed down and asked.
"Is this your idea or Big Sis Ya's? Does she know that you're looking for me?"
"I don't know yet. You can tell her for me."
Lv Fanghui smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry. No one knows a daughter better than her father. Even though Siya doesn't like being manipulated by others, if you're the target of the trade, I believe that she will agree to it."
"Why?"
Meng Chao could not help but touch his face.
Although he did not like to be manipulated by others, and his friendship with Big Sister Ya was also very pure and innocent.
But as a man, he couldn't help but smile when he heard this kind of praise that couldn't be considered a compliment.
In the third generation of the Nine Great Clans, there were many talented and talented people.
With Lu Fanghui's passion for power, he believed that he had set his sights on Lu Siya quite a few times in the past and used this method to increase his own strength.
But based on what Meng Chao knew, Big Sis Ya had always regarded these talented people with disdain.
What virtue or ability did he have to be above the third generation of the nine great clans?
After thinking about it, Meng Chao could only attribute the answer to his appearance, demeanor, and charisma.
"Because you don't have a background, and your family background is simple enough. Siya should be confident that she can take the initiative in this trade and take over both you and your Superstar," Lv Fanghui said faintly.
"…"
Meng Chao sucked in a deep breath and said, "Uncle Lu, thank you for your … kind intentions. My mind is in a mess right now, and it's not suitable for me to think about complicated and long-term problems. I need to calm down and think about it."
"Of course, this trade is even more important than joining Heavenly Dragon Club. You should consider it carefully and not force yourself."
Lv Fanghui unlocked the car door with his gaze and said in a seemingly sincere manner, "I'll say it again. No matter what choice you make, I hope to be your friend, not your enemy."
He lifted his wine glass at Meng Chao again.
Then, he used his gaze to signal to Meng Chao that there was another wine glass filled with wine on Meng Chao's left.
Meng Chao thought about it for a while before he picked up his wine glass and clinked it against Lv Fanghui's.
But he did not drink a single drop of wine. He just placed the wine glass back in its original spot.
He got out of the off-road vehicle and walked into the pouring rain.
Even though the raindrops containing spirit energy hit his body, he felt as if he was hit by a hail that was the size of a fist.
But Meng Chao felt relaxed and carefree.
Through the open car window, he saw Lv Fanghui sitting on the soft leather seat of the Apocalyptic Beast with his eyes closed while he enjoyed the wine. Meng Chao suddenly felt an indescribable emotion rise in him.
"Uncle Lu," he blurted out.
"I'll think about what you said just now seriously when I go back. I believe that I can slowly figure out many of the problems on my own, but there's one problem that I don't think I can figure out no matter what. Can you point me in the right direction?"
Lv Fanghui opened his eyes and put down his wine glass. He leaned toward Meng Chao. "Go on."
"Just now, you said that there's still a ball of fire burning in the depths of your heart. Everything you've done, including cultivating madly, using every means possible to harvest resources, and working hard to climb up the ranks, is all for our home and Dragon City's civilization?" Meng Chao asked loudly.
"That's right."
Lv Fanghui nodded and said solemnly, "I have never forgotten the purpose of the Crimson Heart Association for a single day. Everything I've done is to acquire enough strength so that I can carry out the purpose of the Crimson Heart Association one day and build a better civilization and home.
"You also said that you have dozens of children, and this is very normal in the circle of the powerful, because aside from cultivating and fighting, the most important duty of the powerful is to spread the seeds of life and pass down their genes and strength as much as possible so that they can strengthen the entire civilization," Meng Chao said.
"So, you're not doing this for yourself either, but for your home and civilization?"
"Yes."
Lv Fanghui answered honestly. "This is … for our home and civilization."
"By the way, you also said that you have some companions who share the same ideals. They're all members of the higher management of the nine gangs in the past. They witnessed Red Heart Society's prosperity and destruction. These companions were greatly stimulated, and just like you, they trained madly and kept getting stronger. Gradually, they became the core management of the nine great mega corporations," Meng Chao said.
"Can I understand this as them doing the same thing as you? Everything they do is for our home and civilization."
Lv Fanghui hesitated for 0.1 seconds.
"Sure," he said.
He said, "We are all doing this for our homeland and our civilization. We are all trying to revive the Red Heart Society in a different way. We welcome new blood like you who have dreams, ambitions, and most importantly of all, abilities to join us.
"Alright, I'm willing to believe you, Uncle Lv. I believe that you're telling the truth. You and your companions who share the same ideals as you, whether it's seizing cultivation resources, fighting for power and continuously climbing up the ranks, or even having multiple wives and dozens of children, aren't doing it for yourselves. They're doing it for our home and civilization," Meng Chao said while wiping off the cold rainwater on his burning face.
Meng Chao wiped off the cold rainwater on his burning face. He sucked in a deep breath and asked loudly, "But I just don't get it. You live in mansions with multiple floors and have swimming pools. You drive luxury cars with soft leather seats for Apocalyptic Beasts. You rear monsters as pets, and these pets eat the biggest and freshest monster meat every day. You eat better than many of the lower-class citizens in the lair. Are you doing all this for your home and civilization?"
This question made Lv Fanghui smile.
It was as if Meng Chao's question was not too tricky, but too simple, naive, and childish.
"Yes, this is also for our home and civilization."
Lv Fanghui was like an amiable father lecturing his son and nephew. "First, cultivation is a very difficult and dangerous thing. The higher our realms are, the deeper spirit energy will invade our brains, and it's easier for us to enter spirit energy deviation. Our minds will become distorted, and we might even break down.
"So, for high-grade superhumans, it's very important to maintain a happy mood.
"We live in mansions, drive luxury cars, enjoy all sorts of luxuries, and take care of pets in ways that normal people can't imagine. These are all ways for us to maintain a happy mood.
"Naturally, you can say that when many citizens can only survive on synthetic food and earthworm meat, using fresh monster meat to feed their pets is a waste of resources. In fact, it's an immoral act.
"But I'll say the same thing again. We're the strong, and this is the Other World. Don't force the morals of normal people on Earth onto our heads.
"After a day of arduous cultivation and intense fighting, we drag our bodies full of exhaustion and injuries back home. Then, we see a delightful pet eating the freshest and fleshy meat. That feeling of comfort is worth it. Even if we can only reduce the risk of spirit energy deviation by 1% and increase our recovery speed by 1%, it's worth it, right?
"Second, this world is very complicated. Not all powerful people are like me and my companions, who fight for our home and civilization. We can't reason with these powerful people. We can only talk about strength.
"What is strength? Realms and achievements are definitely one thing, but these things might not be hung outside for other people to see every day. Then, luxury cars, mansions, and all sorts of luxuries are the most direct embodiment of strength.
"I'm not a person who likes to enjoy life. Compared to the extravagant life I have now, I look forward to the simple, plain, pure, and clean life I had in Red Heart Club. But when I'm in the world of martial artists, I can't help myself. If I still did what I did in the past, no one would take me seriously. Who would believe that I could control all of Sky Pillar Minerals? Who would be at ease signing contracts worth billions or even tens of billions with me?
"Yes, I can show my strength in other ways, but when I've climbed to my current position, for the sake of my home and civilization, I can't wait to be split in half every second. Why should I waste my energy and time?
"Third, the lives of the nine great cultivation families will definitely cause a lot of poor children to be envious and even jealous. That's right. Jealousy is the same as anger. It can turn into the strongest motivation and push the poor children to cultivate madly. They can continuously evolve and use us as their role models to climb up the ranks!
"There are only a handful of saints in this world who have no desires. Most of the normal people don't have a deep understanding of the grand concepts of home and civilization. Everyone can sing the words' cultivating for the sake of Dragon City's rise to power ', but let's be honest with ourselves. Do you think that' cultivating for the sake of Dragon City's rise 'will attract a normal young man who has nothing to work hard and fight for his city like a demon? Or is' cultivating for the sake of luxurious cars, houses, and glory more attractive to normal people?
"And where did the concept of 'as long as you cultivate well, you will be able to get luxurious cars, mansions, and wealth' come from? Of course, we have to set an example for all the citizens!
"Meng Chao, think about it carefully. Isn't that the case? Think about it. Why did you cultivate in the beginning?"
