“Your father has a good son,” Hu Li said emotionally. “In that case, I’ll satisfy your request. Isn’t it just forging materials? No demonic beasts care about those lousy things. There will be as many as you want.”
“My lord, we’ve already used up most of our forging materials to forge the Demon King Palace. We still owe the Great Demons a huge debt,” the dark-faced Yao Jun said carefully beside the Demon King.
Hu Li glared at him. “Can’t you dig if there’s no more? What do I want you for?
“Send all the demonic beasts out to continue mining! Also, borrow from the few Demon Kings I’m on good terms with.
“What’s there to be afraid of? Are you afraid that I won’t be able to pay them back?”
!!
Yao Jun rolled his eyes. Isn’t it because I’m afraid you won’t be able to pay them back? Even though you’re a Demon King, you owe so many heaven and earth treasures. Let’s see how you repay them…
But this wasn’t something he needed to worry about. Since there was no problem with Hu Li, he naturally wouldn’t stop him. He wanted to do Zhou Shu a favor.
He was also counting on Yao Qing to help him improve his cultivation.
“Demon King Hu Li, if it’s really difficult, then forget it,” Zhou Shu said.
“Forget it?” Hu Li’s eyes widened as he said angrily, “Nephew Yao Qing, are you looking down on me? You’ve helped me so much. This is such a small request. How can I not fulfill it?
“Isn’t it just forging materials? It’s useless for demonic beasts to keep those things. You don’t have to worry about this matter. I’ll definitely get you a batch. If I can’t satisfy you and your father, then it’s because I’m incompetent!”
Hu Li patted his chest loudly. What a joke. He was the thirteenth Demon King of the Demon Realm. If he couldn’t 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 embarra.s.sing!
Zhou Shu’s 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.
“Nephew Yao Qing, since my Demon King Palace has been completed, the ceremony can be held. Do you have any thoughts on this?” 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!
“The 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,” Zhou Shu said. “And…”
He lowered his voice and leaned close to Hu Li’s ear. “Everyone is here to congratulate you on your advancement. They wouldn’t come empty-handed, right? Would those Demon Kings dare to come without a big gift?
“Demon King Hu Li, you have spent a lot of effort to build this Demon King Palace. You can use this opportunity to earn some back…”
Hu Li understood what Zhou Shu meant.
“That’s right.” Hu Li slapped his thigh, his eyes shining. “Why didn’t I think of that? In the past, whenever Demon King Ao held a celebration, I had to give him a big gift!
“Nephew Yao Qing, you’re really smart.” Hu Li was overjoyed. “I never thought of this before.”
“In 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,” Zhou Shu said.
“Invite them all!” Hu Li waved his hand.
Zhou Shu didn’t know if Hu Li was brainless or not. It wasn’t 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 didn’t 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.
“When all the guests arrive, you will make a grand appearance…”
Zhou Shu painted a scene that filled Hu Li with fantasy.
…
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 couldn’t find him at all.
In Hu Li’s words, Yao Qing was preparing for his advancement ceremony.
Zhou Shu had indeed gone to make preparations.
However, it was not for Hu Li’s advancement ceremony but to escape…
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 wouldn’t 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.
