âDemon King Palace?â Demon King Hu Liâs eyes lit up, and his gaze seemed corporeal.
Zhou Shu was amused.?The Demon King realm is really interesting.
âThatâs right, Demon King Hu Li. Iâve seen it. The place you lived before was just a cave.â
Zhou Shu had already returned to Demon King Hu Liâs territory with him.
Hu Li was the leader of the tiger demons, and the place he originally lived was actually not too bad.
But demonic beasts were not as particular as humans. The residence of Hu Li was just a house casually built with stones. It was spacious, but it was not worth mentioning in other aspects.
âYouâre a Demon King now. I donât know what the other demon kings think, but I think your residence has to be worthy of your status.â Zhou Shu pointed at the blueprint. âThis is the Demon King Palace that I specially designed for you, Demon King Hu Li. Itâs definitely the only one in the Demon Realm.â
On the blueprint was a magnificent palace. Although Zhou Shuâs painting ability was limited, and this blueprint would probably make an expert laugh their heads off, the Demon King was uncultured.
All he saw was the imposing-looking palace.
âGood. This is good!â Hu Li laughed loudly. âThis palace is even more imposing than Demon King Aoâs palace. Letâs build according to this! We must build it according to this!â
âItâs best that youâre satisfied, Demon King Hu Li.â Zhou Shu smiled. âBut Demon King, this Demon King Palaceââ
Hu Li clapped his hands. âIf you have any difficulties, just tell me. Iâll solve them!â
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth. âThen, Iâll get straight to the point. The construction of the Demon King Palace is extremely expensive, and Iâm afraid the things in your warehouse are not enough.â
âIs that all?â Hu Li laughed loudly. âItâs fine if there arenât enough things. Although there arenât many tiger demons, there are at least a thousand of them. Iâll get them to gather the materials.â
âActually, I have an idea.â Zhou Shu seemed to hesitate. âItâs just that it might affect your dignity, Demon King.â
âTell me about it first,â Demon King Hu Li said.
âSince you donât have enough for the construction, I think we can borrow some supplies from other Demon Kings or some rich demons. Then, Demon King Hu Li, you can give them an IOU.
âIn any case, with your identity as a Demon King, itâs impossible for you to renege on your debt. With your current identity, I think it wonât take long for you to pay off your debt.â
âI donât understand these things,â Hu Li said. âDo as you see fit. Tell me what you need me to do.â
âI have to cultivate a divine power in seclusion these few days. When the ceremony takes place, I want to broaden the horizons of all the demonic beasts. You can do as you see fit in my name. As long as you can build the Demon King Palace before the ceremony, you donât have to worry about the costs, no matter how much it is!â
âIâm relieved to hear that, Demon King.â Zhou Shu smiled. âDemon King, donât worry. After the Demon King Palace is built, if itâs not the most majestic building in the Demon Realm, then I, Yao Qing, wonât have any objections if you tear off my head!â
â¦
Thousands of kilometers away from Hu Liâs territory, in a secluded valley, a half-naked humanoid demonic beast cultivating suddenly sneezed twice.
He rubbed his nose in confusion.?Why do I feel cold all over? With my cultivation, I shouldnât feel this way.
A moment later, Yao Ging pushed his thoughts aside.
Iâm about to master this Heavenly Saber Art. After I master it, Iâll defeat Yao Wudi. Then, Iâll be the number one first-rank demonic beast below the Great Demons.
What Yao Qing didnât know was that while he was still thinking about becoming the number one demon below the Great Demons, his other self had already made all the Great Demons bow down to him.
Zhou Shu sat in the middle while Great Demons sat around him with fawning smiles on their faces.
âNephew Yao Qing, did you ask us here to talk about the Great Dao?â A Great Demonâs face was all smiles. Who would have thought that this was a Great Demon who could shake the Demon Realm with a stomp of his foot?
âLetâs not talk about the Great Dao for now. We agreed to talk about it during Demon King Hu Liâs advancement ceremony.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âIâve invited everyone here this time because I have something to ask you for help with.â
âNephew, youâre treating us like outsiders. What do you mean by helping? Your problem is my problem! You came to me because you think highly of me! If you have anything to say, just say it. Iâm not bragging, but there arenât many things in the Demon Realm that I canât do!â Another Great Demon patted his chest.
He wasnât bragging. Great Demons were definitely at the top of the pyramid in the Demon Realm.
The twelveâno, it should be thirteen Demon Kings now, they wouldnât show their faces under normal circumstances.
In a sense, Great Demons were the strongest demonic beasts in the Demon Realm.
If one had to compare, they were the equivalent of the emperors of the Ten Nations on the Ten Nations Continent but with monstrous strength.
âIâm a little embarrassed to say it.â Zhou Shu smiled. âArenât I helping Demon King Hu Li prepare for his ceremony? According to Demon King Hu Liâs request, I want to build a Demon King Palace here.â
âThis is a good thing. Nephew, do you need help? Iâll send ten thousand demon beasts over to help,â a Great Demon immediately said.
