âA million kilograms of ore?â Even Yao Lian, who was full of anger and killing intent, was stunned by what Zhou Shu said.
Youâre talking to me about ore at this moment?
Yao Lianâs eyes were murderous as he said coldly, âWhat do you mean?â
âYouâre not a fool, are you?â Zhou Shu gave him a sympathetic look. âYao Buqi, you tell him.â
Zhou Shu couldnât be bothered to explain too much to him.
Yao Buqi flinched, but he still carefully explained the situation to Yao Lian.
Yao Lianâs eyes widened. The killing intent in his eyes seemed to be about to collapse the entire house.
If not for the fact that his spiritual essence had been scattered and his limbs had been broken, he would have jumped up and fought Zhou Shu to the death.
âYou want me to be your slave?!â Yao Lian roared. âIn your dreams!
âI, Yao Lian, have been defeated by you today. You can kill or torture me as you please. If I beg for mercy, Iâll be your grandson!â
âI donât have a grandson your age.â Zhou Shu sneered. âYao Buqi, tell him what will happen if he disobeys.â
Zhou Shu walked out of the room with his hands behind his back, not worried that Yao Lian would escape.
A moment later, roars came from the room.
......
After an hour, Zhou Shu returned to the room. âHave you thought it through?â
In the room, Yao Lian had already sat up cross-legged. Yao Buqi, on the other hand, was squatting in a corner with his neck hunched.
Zhou Shu didnât care how Yao Buqi had communicated to Yao Lian. He looked at Yao Lian.
The physique of a great demon was indeed incomparably powerful. His limbs had been broken, but he had actually reconnected them so quickly.
Zhou Shu didnât pay too much attention to it. So what if his limbs were reconnected? Even if Yao Lian recovered his cultivation, it would only take one punch. If one punch wasnât enough, he would punch him twice. Would he be able to do anything about it?
âHow can I trust you?â Yao Lian breathed heavily with shame in his eyes.
To think that he, Yao Lian, would one day negotiate with humans!
Their existence could barely be compared to ants. Why? How did this happen?
Yao Lian couldnât understand. It was clearly impossible for someone above the first rank to appear in the human race. Why did he encounter such a monster?
He still hadnât figured out how heâd lost.
Logically speaking, there was no reason for him to lose.
âItâs up to you,â Zhou Shu said indifferently. âIâve given you a chance. If you donât want it, thatâs your business.
âSince youâre not willing to take this opportunity, forget it.â
Zhou Shu turned to look at Yao Buqi. âYao Buqi, you have quite a status in the Demon Realm as well. If I let you go, can you control the Demon Realm army? If you can make the demonic beasts dig a million kilograms of ore for me, I can return your freedom.â
âIââ Yao Buqiâs eyes lit up, then he looked at Yao Lian timidly.
He wanted to say yes, but he didnât dare.
Yao Lian was still listening. If he agreed, once Yao Lian returned to the Demon Realm alive, even his parents wouldnât be able to protect him.
Yao Lian was furious. He panted heavily. If eyes could kill, Zhou Shu would have been killed countless times.
A million kilograms of ore sounded like a lot, but it was actually nothing to the demonic beast army!
If each of the million-strong demonic beast army dug up a stone, they could easily gather a million kilograms of ore.
Using a million kilograms of ore to exchange for freedom was actually a very good deal.
But he just could not take this lying down. He, a great demon, actually had to bow down to a human?
And this human wanted to humiliate him!
He actually asked this bastard Yao Buqi to deceive the Demon Realm Army in front of him!
It was intolerable!
âIâll give you a million kilograms of ore!â Yao Lian roared. âI will definitely kill you! I swear to God!â
âNo, no.â
Zhou Shu had heard people say all sorts of harsh words. He didnât take them to heart at all. Instead, he shook his head and said, âA million kilograms of ore was the price just now. Now, the price has increased.â
He held up a finger. âTen million kilograms of ore.â
Yao Lianâs hair stood on end. Fury overpowered his sanity. He gritted his teeth. âVery good! Iâll kill you. Iâll definitely kill you! I promise Iâll make you taste the worst torture of all time before I kill you!â
Bang!
Yao Lianâs voice stopped abruptly. His burly body flew dozens of feet away and crashed into the wall with a bang.
âNoisy!â Zhou Shu said indifferently. âAlthough Iâm not afraid of your threat, know your place. Youâre now my prisoner. You talk too much. Iâll teach you how to behave.
âYao Buqi, pass on Yao Lianâs orders.â
âAfter I see ten million kilograms of ore, Yao Lian, I will give you another chance to fight.â
Yao Lian lay on the floor and looked up at the sky, feeling like he had nothing to live for.
â¦
In Huaxia Pavilionâs Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament branch, Yin Wuyou stood beside Zhou Shu and stole glances at him from time to time.
âZhou Shu, is it really okay to let Yao Buqi leave?â Yin Wuyou said as she watched Yao Buqiâs figure disappear into the distance like lightning.
After taking the initiative to help Zhou Shu back to the camp last time, Yin Wuyou seemed to have overcome her previous psychological barrier and was no longer afraid of appearing in front of him. But when she occasionally thought of how she had exposed her body in front of him, her face still turned red.
