âYour father has a good son,â Hu Li said emotionally. âIn that case, Iâll satisfy your request. Isnât it just forging materials? No demonic beasts care about those lousy things. There will be as many as you want.â
âMy lord, weâve already used up most of our forging materials to forge the Demon King Palace. We still owe the Great Demons a huge debt,â the dark-faced Yao Jun said carefully beside the Demon King.
Hu Li glared at him. âCanât you dig if thereâs no more? What do I want you for?
âSend all the demonic beasts out to continue mining! Also, borrow from the few Demon Kings Iâm on good terms with.
âWhatâs there to be afraid of? Are you afraid that I wonât be able to pay them back?â
Yao Jun rolled his eyes.?Isnât it because Iâm afraid you wonât be able to pay them back? Even though youâre a Demon King, you owe so many heaven and earth treasures. Letâs see how you repay themâ¦
But this wasnât something he needed to worry about. Since there was no problem with Hu Li, he naturally wouldnât stop him. He wanted to do Zhou Shu a favor.
He was also counting on Yao Qing to help him improve his cultivation.
âDemon King Hu Li, if itâs really difficult, then forget it,â Zhou Shu said.
âForget it?â Hu Liâs eyes widened as he said angrily, âNephew Yao Qing, are you looking down on me? Youâve helped me so much. This is such a small request. How can I not fulfill it?
âIsnât it just forging materials? Itâs useless for demonic beasts to keep those things. You donât have to worry about this matter. Iâll definitely get you a batch. If I canât satisfy you and your father, then itâs because Iâm incompetent!â
Hu Li patted his chest loudly. What a joke. He was the thirteenth Demon King of the Demon Realm. If he couldnât even take out tens of millions of kilograms of forging materials, how could he be worthy of this splendid Demon King Palace?
It would be too embarrassing!
Zhou Shuâs expression was calm, but his heart was blooming with joy. It seemed that he could make another small fortune.?Hu Li is a good demon.
The Lingxiao Treasure Palace and the military supplies of the Ten Nations Alliance army will depend on him.
If Hu Li falls into my hands in the future, I will spare his life.
âNephew Yao Qing, since my Demon King Palace has been completed, the ceremony can be held. Do you have any thoughts on this?â Hu Li asked.
He now treated Zhou Shu, or rather, Yao Qing, as his strategist. Yao Qing was very capable, much more capable than him.
If not for Yao Qing, if he built the Demon King Palace himself, it would at most be a slightly larger stone house. It was impossible that it would be as grand as it was now.
Now, the Demon King Palace could make Demon King Ao envy him to death!
âThe ceremony? Demon King Hu Li, you are the first demon in the Demon Realm to advance to Demon King in a thousand years. The grander the occasion, the better,â Zhou Shu said. âAndâ¦â
He lowered his voice and leaned close to Hu Liâs ear. âEveryone is here to congratulate you on your advancement. They wouldnât come empty-handed, right? Would those Demon Kings dare to come without a big gift?
âDemon King Hu Li, you have spent a lot of effort to build this Demon King Palace. You can use this opportunity to earn some backâ¦â
Hu Li understood what Zhou Shu meant.
âThatâs right.â Hu Li slapped his thigh, his eyes shining. âWhy didnât I think of that? In the past, whenever Demon King Ao held a celebration, I had to give him a big gift!
âNephew Yao Qing, youâre really smart.â Hu Li was overjoyed. âI never thought of this before.â
âIn my opinion, forget about first-rank demonic beasts. You have to send invitations to all the Demon Kings and Great Demons in the Demon Realm,â Zhou Shu said.
âInvite them all!â Hu Li waved his hand.
Zhou Shu didnât know if Hu Li was brainless or not. It wasnât so easy to send invitations to all the Demon Kings and Great Demons in the Demon Realm.
The Demon Kings were easy to deal with. After all, there were only thirteen of them, including Hu Li.
But there were hundreds of Great Demons in the Demon Realm. It was impossible to inform all of them.
Of course, the man and the demon didnât care about these details.
Zhou Shu was only responsible for coming up with ideas. As for what to do, Demon King Hu Li would naturally arrange for his demonic beasts to do it.
âWhen all the guests arrive, you will make a grand appearanceâ¦â
Zhou Shu painted a scene that filled Hu Li with fantasy.
â¦
After Demon King Hu Li saw the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, which was located on the peak of a mountain, it disappeared the next day. All the Great Demons were very curious, but when they went to ask Hu Li, he refused to say anything.
They wanted to ask Yao Qing, but they couldnât find him at all.
In Hu Liâs words, Yao Qing was preparing for his advancement ceremony.
Zhou Shu had indeed gone to make preparations.
However, it was not for Hu Liâs advancement ceremony but to escapeâ¦
He had already successfully forged the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, and he had also cheated some forging materials from Hu Li.
Zhou Shu began to make preparations to escape.
If he was alone, everything would be fine. Even if he left openly, Hu Li wouldnât be able to stop him.
But there were still Zhang Chunlin and more than a hundred human captives here.
It would take some effort to bring them away safely.
In addition, he had tricked Hu Li into giving him tens of millions of kilograms of forging materials as a thank-you gift. It became a huge problem to think of a way to take these tens of millions of kilograms of forging materials away.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
