âTell me. Am I stupid?â Yao Jun asked in a hoarse voice after pulling a demonic beast over.
The demonic beast was more shocked than him. He stammered, âL-Lord Yao Jun, I donât know.â
If you donât know, that means Iâm really stupid!
Yao Jun felt a little lost.
I didnât realize I was so stupid. Everyone knows it except me.
The demonic beast he had grabbed carefully took a few steps back and then fled.
He was a demonic beast that was not even at the third rank of the Martial Dao. He didnât dare to get involved in the matters of Yao Jun and Yao Qing.
âWhatâs-your-name.â Zhou Shu patted Yao Junâs shoulder. âItâs fine if youâre a little stupid. As the saying goes, the slow start early. As long as youâre more diligent than others, you might be able to become a Great Demon in the future.
âIf youâre stupid and lazy, then youâre really hopeless.
âFor your own future, come on. Roll up your sleeves and work hard.â
Zhou Shuâs voice was bewitching.
Yao Junâs head snapped up. His ugly face looked menacing.
âYao Qing, thank you for letting me know the truth!â he said in a low voice. âIf it werenât for you, Iâd think I was a genius! Iâm nothing but trash!
âYouâre right. Iâm already so stupid. If Iâm still lazy, whatâs the point of living? Tell me what you want me to do. Iâll do it with my heart.â
Yao Junâs expression was firm. âIf you donât find me stupid, from now on, Iâm willing to follow you and become your most loyal lackey!â
Zhou Shu was stunned.?Are you serious?
There were no slaves on the Ten Nations Continent.?A first-rank demonic beast like you wants to be my lackey?
He couldnât understand the thoughts of these demonic beasts.
He had just casually said a few words, and Yao Jun believed him?
Didnât he think that if he was really stupid, how could he have become a first-rank demonic beast?
Becoming a first-rank demonic beast was not so easy to achieve.
Even if he believed that he was useless, there was no need to make himself a lackey.
Seeing that Zhou Shu was silent, Yao Jun sighed and said dejectedly, âAs expected, you look down on me for being too stupid.â
Well, heâs not happy that I wonât let him be my lackey.
âNot reallyâ¦â Zhou Shu pondered. âI wonât discriminate against you because youâre too stupid. Iâve always believed in the saying that hard work can make up for talent. It doesnât matter if you donât know what this means. You just have to understand that hard work can change fate.
âIf youâre willing to follow me, as long as thereâs no problem with Lord Hu Li, Iâm fine.â
âThereâs no problem with Lord Hu Li. Iâm not his vassal. I have autonomy,â Yao Jun said excitedly.
âGreetings, my lord!â Yao Jun fell to his knees and cried out.
âAlright, get up.â Zhou Shu put on a dignified expression. âSince youâve become my lackey, you have to do what I say without hesitation. Otherwise, donât blame me for being heartless.â
âDonât worry, Lord Yao Qing. If I slack off at all, I wonât complain even if you kill me!â Yao Jun said loudly.
âAlright.â Zhou Shu nodded. âPass on my orders first. Tell all the demonic beasts under Lord Hu Li to return to his territory.
âMoreover, Iâm going to draw some drawings for you. Youâll follow the drawings and go mining for me.â
âFollow the drawings?â Yao Jun looked ashamed. He couldnât understand what Lord Yao Qing was saying. He, Yao Jun, was indeed useless. He was really too stupid.
Zhou Shu explained, âIt means finding exactly the same thing as what I drew for you. Do you understand now?â
âYes.â Yao Jun wished he could find a hole to hide in. He looked at Zhou Shu with gratitude.?Lord Yao Qing is too good to me. He still has the patience to explain such things to me.
He will even help me draw things clearly just in case I donât understand.
Yao Junâs eyes turned red.
âThe Demon King Hu Liâs advancement ceremony is a joyous occasion for the entire Demon Realm, so Iâm preparing to hold a grand ceremony for him,â Zhou Shu said seriously. âWhat Iâm asking you to find concerns the construction of the Demon King Palace for Demon King Hu Li. You canât be careless at all, understand?â
âI understand! Lord, although Iâm stupid, please believe that I will definitely do my best and not disappoint you,â Yao Jun vowed.
âI believe you.â Zhou Shu patted Yao Junâs shoulder. âThe more there are, the better. The demonic beast army is at your disposal.â
âI promise to complete the mission!â Yao Jun went off valiantly.
Zhou Shu laughed in his heart.
Who would have thought that his mining army would return?!
Just the thought of having two million demonic beasts mining for him made him drool.
How many mines would they dig up?
Why did he suddenly feel that these demonic beasts were a little cute?
Zhou Shu shook his head and stepped into a tent.
He had to put on a full show to fool the demons.
â¦
In the Huaxia Pavilionâs Demon Realm branch, Xiao Jianghe faced Meng Bai, Wang Mu, Bai Qiancheng, and the others and said in a deep voice, âFor the safety of His Highness, we must kill Yao Qing at all costs!â
Zhou Shu had asked Xiao Jianghe to stop Yao Qing from appearing. But in Xiao Jiangheâs opinion, the best way to prevent Yao Qing from appearing was to make him disappear from the world.
