Chapter 521: The Demon Realm Taken As Suckers, The Number One Great Demon (1)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
All the Great Demons looked at Yao Baobao, no, Yao Aotian’s back with envy as he disappeared into the distance.
They turned around in unison and looked at Zhou Shu with greed.
d.a.m.n it. If they had known, they would have been as shameless as Yao Aotian!
Everyone was a Great Demon, so why did he, Yao Aotian, get all the benefits?
Wasn’t it just being shameless?
!!
Who couldn’t do it?!
“Nephew Yao Qing!” All the Great Demons squeezed out the most sincere smiles they had in their lives.
“Look at my name. It’s not good either. Yao Qing, can you help me choose one?”
“I understand the rules. I’m willing to use everything I have as a reward.”
…
“I can warm your bed, Nephew Yao Qing!”
…
Among the many voices, a discordant voice suddenly sounded.
Zhou Shu: “…”
There were bad demons among the Great Demons.
It took Zhou Shu a lot of effort to explain that this name wasn’t casually given. It had to match one’s comprehension of the Great Dao.
He also promised the Great Demons that if there was a chance, he would definitely change their names.
In his daze, Zhou Shu felt as if he had become a fortune-teller. He even helped others to read their birth characters and change their names…
But his fees were much higher than those of the fortune-tellers.
Those who were more exaggerated, such as Yao Aotian, gave all the wealth they had acc.u.mulated for hundreds and thousands of years to Zhou Shu.
Those who were more rational made a list of their belongings and let Zhou Shu choose whatever he wanted.
In Zhou Shu’s eyes, these dozen or so Great Demons had all become lush green leeks1. They were swaying and shouting, “Come take advantage of me, come take advantage of me.”
Zhou Shu now understood why there were so many masters in his previous life.
It was too easy to make money using this method.
He was just spouting nonsense. In the end, these big shots from the Demon Realm fought to send their a.s.sets over.
If demonic beasts were so easy to deal with, what was the point of fighting?
Zhou Shu felt that he could fool the Demon Realm alone. A war between the Demon Realm and the Ten Nations Continent?
With the intelligence of demonic beasts, they could basically bid farewell to the war.
Zhou Shu was flipping through the list left behind by the Great Demons. Even if he emptied the warehouses of these Great Demons, they wouldn’t say anything. Instead, they might welcome him with open arms.
But doing so would make the demonic beasts suspicious.
It was best to pick some of them out. This would also make it look like he really needed them.
At this moment, a figure bowed, walked in, and said respectfully to Zhou Shu, “Lord, I’ve already found the copper mine you asked me to. Do you think this is it?”
As he spoke, Yao Jun took out a fist-sized piece of ore from his pocket. The ore was fiery red and exuded a metallic glow. It was full of texture.
Yao Jun was full of admiration and grat.i.tude. When he had just returned, he had already heard about what had happened with Yao Aotian.
With just one sentence, he had helped the demon change his name. In the end, this Great Demon was just one step away from breaking through to the Demon King realm.
He was extremely glad that he had become Zhou Shu’s lackey, and he was also extremely grateful that Zhou Shu was willing to take in a fool like him.
He swore to himself that he would do exactly what his lord told him to do.
“That’s right. This is indeed red copper.” Zhou Shu nodded. “Well done.
“What about the other materials?”
“I have people looking around. I’m sure we’ll hear something soon.” Yao Jun hurriedly said. “As long as the Demon Realm has these things, I will definitely be able to find them.”
“Just do your best to find them. By the way, if these things are in the territories of other Great Demons or even Demon Kings, tell them that Demon King Hu Li is the one who wants to borrow them. You can give them an IOU,” Zhou Shu added.
He wasn’t worried about Yao Jun’s safety, but he felt that if there was a conflict, it would affect Yao Jun’s mining speed.
Although everything seemed very normal now, Zhou Shu knew that his ident.i.ty might be exposed at any moment.
Before that, he had to hurry up and collect forging materials. Otherwise, he might not get such a good opportunity again.
“I understand. Don’t worry, Milord. In the Demon Realm now, there’s no Great Demon who dares not give Demon King Hu Li face.” Yao Jun said.
He also added in his heart that no Great Demon who knew the truth would dare not to give Yao Qing face either.
“That’s good,” Zhou Shu said. “Also, help me keep an eye out for human captives.”
“Why are you asking about this?” Yao Jun was puzzled.
“You don’t understand,” Zhou Shu said casually. “Although the human race is weak, they still have some strengths in certain aspects. The Demon King Palace I want to build for Demon King Hu Li adopts some architectural ideas from the human race.
“It’s just that I’ve never been to the human world before, so many places are just superficial. If any Great Demon has human captives, tell them to help me see if there’s anything else I can improve on with the Demon King Palace.”
“Lord, didn’t you say that those messy things of the human race will only affect the cultivation of us demonic beasts? Why are you—” Yao Jun asked in confusion.
“You’re really stupid,” Zhou Shu reprimanded. “Is this the same thing? Can your brain compare to mine? It’s already very difficult for you to do a good job. Learning the weapons of the human race will naturally affect your Martial Dao, but I’m different from you. This is called learning with extra strength.”
