147: The Most Benevolent, Filial, Benevolent, and Virtuous True Lord...
"A song to roam the world, accompanied by the laughter of the vast sea... performing a Southern Fist routine... how carefree!"
Chen De sang as he walked, arriving at a human city.
He stopped in front of a dilapidated, leaky, and dangerously unstable house that looked like it could collapse at any moment.
This was because a plaque hung above it, emblazoned with five large characters.
"The Foremost Ruler Under Heaven!"
This wasn't the most crucial part; the most crucial part was a line of small characters written at the bottom of the plaque.
"Perfectly Benevolent, Filial, Kind, and Virtuous True Ruler!"
Chen De felt this was too arrogant. No matter how virtuous one was, one shouldn't be so ostentatious!
However, fortunately, Chen De's moral ceiling, being the pinnacle of all morality, still surpassed the other party's.
Chen De decided to go inside and have a look, because in his opinion,
people who constantly talk about morality often lack it.
For example, he, Chen De, was so moral, even the moral ceiling.
Yet he was not ostentatious at all, only mentioning it occasionally.
So, Chen De decided to go inside and have a look.
The door of the house was dilapidated, and one could see inside from the outside.
Since that was the case, Chen De didn't bother knocking and was about to kick it open.
But then Chen De had a change of heart. How could someone as moral as he enter without knocking?
Doing so would mean he was already weaker than the other party before even entering.
How could that be allowed?
This was a struggle for the Dao, and Chen De couldn't afford to be careless.
So, Chen De politely knocked on the door.
No response.
Chen De knocked again, and this time a voice came from inside, "Who is it? Not taking work right now!"
Bang!
So Chen De kicked the door open, shattering it into pieces.
Upon entering, he found a man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, handsome, dashing, charismatic, elegant, domineering, and gentle... in a corner.
At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a legendary pilot...
Seeing Chen De suddenly burst in with such a loud noise,
the red-faced, short-of-breath, dashing, sword-browed, handsome man was instantly startled into a...
The legendary pilot crashed, crashing on an unknown morning.
When the pilot saw that no matter how he tried to manipulate it, it wouldn't stand up again,
he immediately collapsed, enraged, and desperately roared, "Who is it? So inconsiderate? Can't you see I'm busy?"
He turned his head and saw a man staring directly at him.
The man immediately stood up, screaming in collapse, and rushed forward, ready to argue.
The person's actions just now had caused severe, indelible damage to his mind and body.
This matter today absolutely could not be let go!
As he was about to reach Chen De, Chen De pointed into the distance, and what was behind him... turned to dust.
At this moment, for some unknown reason, the man suddenly slipped and smoothly knelt before Chen De.
He immediately kowtowed heavily to Chen De, "This humble one greets Master!"
Chen De raised an eyebrow, "I heard you have someone here called Perfectly Benevolent, Filial, Kind, and Virtuous True Ruler. Call him out for a look!"
The man chuckled, "You jest, Master. This unworthy one, Perfectly Benevolent, Filial, Kind, and Virtuous True Ruler, is me."
Upon hearing this, Chen De quickly helped him up, "You mean, you are Perfectly Benevolent, Filial, Kind, and Virtuous True Ruler?"
The man was flattered, "That's right, it's me!
Don't mind that I'm a bit poor, a bit down on my luck.
But my morality, that's something that shakes heaven and earth, and makes ghosts weep..."
Chen De nodded after listening, "Then what's your real name?"
The man waved his hands repeatedly, "A moral person doesn't discuss such things, doesn't discuss such things."
"What the hell is your name?"
The man quickly replied, "This humble one is called Chen De!"
Chen De?
When Chen De heard that name, he was instantly surprised. He was also called Chen De?
Chen De was immediately enraged.
He must be cut down when he leaves later!
What kind of person is he, to have the same name as him?
Chen De shook his head and gave the man a kind lie, "The name Chen De is inauspicious. From now on, you'll be called Chen Er!"
Chen Er, upon hearing this, looked troubled.
No other reason, the character 'De' in Chen De's name was simply too fitting for him.
It was the kind of name that, upon hearing it, one could instantly discern his essence.
In his heart, the two characters 'morality' were even more important than his life!
Now that Chen De was telling him to change his name, he would rather die than comply.
A single look from him should make Chen De give up on that idea!
Chen De held the knife to his neck, "Is it very difficult?"
The man immediately smiled ingratiatingly, "Not difficult, not difficult! This humble one will be called Chen Er from now on."
Chen De slowly put away the knife, not forgetting to pat Chen Er's cheek with the blade, "Good, then. Chen Er!"
Chen Er stood up straight, "This humble one is here!"
Chen De asked, "Seeing as you are Perfectly Benevolent, Filial, Kind, and Virtuous True Ruler, I will ask you a question.
Do you know what morality is?"
Chen Er fawningly explained to Chen De, "Morality is to..."
After listening, Chen De nodded in satisfaction.
So, my morality must be above Chen Er's.
Then, Chen De received a piece of information and found that it was still early.
So he decided to help this rising star of morality.
Looking at Chen Er, "Come with me to a place!"
Then, he took Chen Er and immediately arrived outside a household.
Chen De first politely knocked on the door, and after someone came to open it,
Chen De said nothing, but took Chen Er and, gripping the person's neck, walked into the house.
Such a scene terrified the other people in the house.
They immediately wanted to scream, but Chen De had already covered the house with black liquid when he entered.
No sound could escape.
Chen De looked at the number of people in the house. Very good, quite a few!
This was a prosperous family that Chen De had carefully chosen.
Chen De ignored the screaming people and first looked at the person in his hand, "Am I moral?"
The person, choked by Chen De, gasped, "No, no, let go, let go of me quickly!"
No?
So that meant he, Chen De, had no morality?
So Chen De's right hand slammed down, pushing the person's head into his chest.
Chen De shook his head, "I have no morality?"
Then he looked towards the doorway, where people had already gathered.
They wanted to escape, but found the door was stuck as if by something, and wouldn't open no matter what.
Chen De walked forward and grabbed another person, "Am I moral?"
That person, having learned from the previous one's lesson, knew that saying no would lead to death, so saying yes should be fine, "Yes, you are very moral."
However, Chen De also slammed his head into his chest with a palm, "You're scared? You're lying!"
Then, Chen De grabbed another person, "Am I moral?"
Saying no is death, saying yes is also death. Could it be that one shouldn't say no, but rather say 'not'?
He immediately said, "Not!"
This time, Chen De was enraged, utterly enraged.
He also slammed the person's head into his chest with a slap, shaking his head, "Unrepentant, stubborn!"
Then, Chen De moved on to the next one.
Perfectly Benevolent, Filial, Kind, and Virtuous True Ruler Chen Er watched from the side, scared to the point of wetting himself.
Old and young, women and children, none were spared.
Watching Chen De continue, one after another, one after another.
It wasn't that no one begged for mercy, but Chen De ignored it all, one after another, one after another...
