842 Iâll Share Half of the Benefits With You (1)
âHu Li? He canât do it. Heâs not a suitable leader.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âHe can be your general, but youâre the most suitable demonic beast to rule.â
âKing Zhou, you think too highly of me.â Yao Buqi smiled bitterly. In the past, he really wanted to be the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.
But the situation in the Demon Realm was too complicated now. Not to mention that the demonic beasts had all gone crazy, he couldnât even do anything about the Demon Kings.
Now, with so many Demon Kings appearing out of nowhere in the Demon Realm, each stronger than the last, Yao Buqi didnât think that he would be able to cultivate to the Demon King realm in his life. Under such circumstances, how could he lead those Demon Kings?
!!
He felt that Zhou Shu was thinking too simply. Humans might not need much strength to be an emperor in the human world. But in the Demon Realm, if demonic beasts werenât strong enough, they would be overthrown in minutes.
âNo,â Zhou Shu said. âYao Buqi, youâre the smartest demonic beast Iâve ever seen.â
Yao Buqi opened his mouth. He really didnât expect Zhou Shu to give him such an evaluation.
âIâm not that outstandingâ¦â Yao Buqi said sheepishly.
âDonât get me wrong. I said youâre the smartest, not that you have a high IQ.â
âIQ?â Yao Buqi didnât understand the meaning of this term.
âYou know what to do and what not to do. This is a sign of smarts.â Zhou Shu had no intention of explaining the meaning of IQ and continued, âOnly when youâre the ruler of the demonic beasts can I be at ease. Because youâre smart enough, you wonât do anything you shouldnât do.â
Realization flashed across Yao Buqiâs face. He said awkwardly, âKing Zhou, why donât you just say that Iâm afraid of death?â
âSo what if youâre afraid of death? Being afraid of death isnât a drawback. Iâm afraid of death too.â Zhou Shu smiled. âDonât worry. Iâm not asking you to be my puppet. Iâll help you, and I wonât interfere in how you manage the demonic beasts. Itâs all up to you.â
Yao Buqi fell silent. He began to consider Zhou Shuâs proposal seriously.
To be honest, he had never considered such a matter before.
All along, he had wanted to come to the human race and seek refuge with Zhou Shu so that he could stay in a safe living environment. For this, he didnât hesitate to mine.
To him, he was already very satisfied to be able to live safely.
After all, the world was in chaos.
But now, Zhou Shuâs words aroused his already extinguished ambitions.
Thatâs right. Yao Buqi had ambitions back then.
Otherwise, he wouldnât have cooperated with Zhou Shu for the position of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.
The fact that he dared to take the risk back then meant that he had the drive in him.
Now that Zhou Shu had already said so much, Yao Buqi wanted to give it a try.
After a moment of silence, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Shu with a serious expression. âKing Zhou, I want to know what your specific plan is.â
âSpecific plan?â Zhou Shu shook his head. âI donât have a plan, but let me tell you this. If you dare to do it, Iâll give you Hu Li and one hundred and eight first-rank demonic beasts, all of whom can stay conscious.
âIn addition, I will supply you with connate bloodline divine weapons in the future. As long as demonic beasts refine connate bloodline divine weapons, they will be able to avoid the control of heavenly slaves and not fall into a crazy state.
âAs for how many demonic beasts you can use them to recruit, it will depend on your ability.â
Yao Buqiâs eyes flickered, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. After a while, he continued, âKing Zhou, how many connate bloodline divine weapons can you supply me?
âIn addition, all the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm have gone crazy. How can I get them to refine these connate divine weapons?â
Yao Buqi was still relatively smart. He immediately grasped the two main problems.
âYou donât have to worry about refining bloodline connate divine weapons. The one hundred and eight demonic beasts Iâm going to send you are proficient in forging. Iâve already taught them the method to refine bloodline connate divine weapons. As long as you can capture demonic beasts alive, they can refine the bloodline connate divine weapons into the demonic beastsâ bodies.
âAs for how many connate bloodline divine weapons I can supply you, it will depend on your ability.â
âIt will depend on my ability?â Yao Buqi pondered and said, âKing Zhou, do you mean that the connate bloodline divine weapons are not provided to me for free?â
âOf course not.â Zhou Shu smiled. âYao Buqi, you donât want to owe me too much, right? If I supply you with divine weapons for free, then youâll be an army under me.
âIn other words, you will exist independently, and weâre still just cooperating.
âTake some valuable things and trade them with me. The connate divine weapons you buy will be yours.â
Zhou Shuâs expression was calm. He didnât hide anything and spoke frankly to Yao Buqi.
âKing Zhou, this matter is very important. I canât agree to it immediately. I have to talk to Demon King Hu Li and the one hundred and eight demonic beasts youâve mentioned to me before I can make a decision,â Yao Buqi said solemnly.
Zhou Shu nodded. âIâm more at ease with your attitude.â
