666 Heavenly Dragon Slayer, Demonic Beast Workers (1)
“A weapon worthy of your status?” Zhou Shu sized up Hu Li. How should he put it? This request was very fitting of him!
“Every weapon I’ve forged is worthy of you,” Zhou Shu said angrily.
You’re a demonic beast, yet you’re so picky?
Do you know that even a brick is worthy of you?
Hearing Zhou Shu’s answer, Hu Li continued, “You might not understand what I mean. I want a weapon that represents me! It must be powerful enough. If I can defeat Demon King Ao with it, that would be best.”
“Hu Li, you’re a demonic beast. You might not know the rules of human forgers.” Zhou Shu patted Hu Li’s shoulder. “In other words, you think too highly of yourself…
“In the human race, it’s already good enough to have a weapon. Why are you still picking? Let me tell you. It’s already good enough to have a weapon. If you have too many requirements, no forgers will be willing to take your orders. Do you understand?”
“No.” Hu Li shook his head in confusion. “I used to hear from your father—no, Yao Qing’s father, Ji Lutian, that money can buy everything among humans.
“I think human money is gold. I can give you as much gold as you want.”
Hu Li patted his chest and said, “Previously, you appeared in front of me as Yao Li, so I didn’t say anything. I own a mountain of gold.”
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. Is a mountain of gold so great?
I treat money as dirt!
If you have a Heaven Refining Stone, I may be a little excited. If you have a Divine Stone…
Then I’ll forge whatever weapon you want!
Trying to bribe me with gold?
Alright, I can only say that you’ve given me too much…
“Is that so?” Zhou Shu pondered. “Other than that mountain of gold, you will have to bear all the materials I need to forge the weapon.
“Speaking of which, in order to forge the Demon King Palace, you borrowed money from other demons. You haven’t even paid off your debt. How can you have anything left to forge a weapon with?” Zhou Shu asked curiously.
Without seeing the payment, he wouldn’t forge a weapon for Hu Li. This was a separate matter. Even if he wanted to rope in Hu Li, he wouldn’t casually give him a weapon.
This was the basic cultivation of a forger!
“Why should I return it? I borrowed it with my own ability. Why should I return it to them?” Hu Li said righteously. “Those bastards dared to treat me like this. I’m already being kind by not robbing them again. You want me to repay my debt? Dream on!
“Shi Changsheng, you’re a human. You don’t understand the rules of our Demon Realm. Who am I? I’m Demon King Hu Li! The 13th Demon King of the Demon Realm! I have an army of a million demonic beasts under me!
“I’ll send them to dig up whatever forging materials you want. In any case, most of the mines in the Demon Realm don’t belong to anyone. I can dig as many as I want!”
Hu Li’s words made Zhou Shu roll his eyes inwardly.
Only in the Demon Realm could one think this way.
In the Ten Nations Continent, if any of the emperors dared to be so arbitrary, the day they were overthrown would probably not be far away.
However, the hierarchy in the Demon Realm was strict. Demonic beasts with high cultivation levels could kill demonic beasts with low cultivation levels. The demonic beasts didn’t feel that there was anything wrong with this.
Just like before Hu Li became a Demon King, he had served under Demon King Ao. At the time, if Demon King Ao wanted to kill him, he wouldn’t have resisted. Of course, it would have been useless to resist.
After Hu Li became a Demon King, he would be the same to other demonic beasts.
In the Demon Realm, strength was the rule. Hu Li said that the mines in the Demon Realm didn’t belong to anyone. It was because of his status as a Demon King.
As long as it wasn’t the territory of other Demon Kings, Hu Li could indeed dig anywhere in the Demon Realm.
Zhou Shu didn’t expect Hu Li to be so shameless. Previously, when he transformed into Yao Qing, he had thought that borrowing so many forging materials in Hu Li’s name would cause Hu Li some difficulty.
Unexpectedly, Hu Li had no intention of returning anything!
If he had known earlier, he would have cheated Hu Li of more forging materials when he forged the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
As he was thinking, he heard Hu Li continue, “By the way, I almost forgot. When you helped me forge the Demon King Palace, didn’t you still have a lot of forging materials? Yao Aotian helped me hide these forging materials. They can be used to forge a weapon for me.”
“Yao Aotian?” Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows.
“Hmph, he’s also one of your people in disguise, right? I don’t know his true identity either.” Hu Li didn’t care about the real Yao Aotian at all.
Zhou Shu smiled slightly. Yin Chengshan had completed the mission he had been assigned.
But these forging materials were his. Hu Li wanted to exchange his things for a weapon from him? Dream on.
“There aren’t enough forging materials.” Zhou Shu shook his head strategically. “Who are you? You’re Demon King Hu Li! The 13th Demon King of the Demon Realm! How can the weapon you use be ordinary?
“In order to forge a weapon worthy of your status, I have some ideas. But it will also be very expensive. Of course, if you think it’s not worth it, then any ordinary saber or sword will be much cheaper…”
