911 Whoever I Help Will Be the Ruler of the World (2)
“Go back? Can we still go back?” Ji Lutian muttered.
“Of course we can go back! And we must go back!” Zhou Shu said solemnly. “Since we can come, there’s no reason why we can’t return.”
“So, what do you want me to do?” Ji Lutian said blankly.
Looking around, they saw giants several meters tall everywhere. Even the babies were several times larger than Ji Lutian. This made him feel uncomfortable. His era was still the best. Here, he was like an anomaly.
He wanted to go back too.
“We need to gain a firm foothold in the giant spirit race first and then slowly find our way back.” Zhou Shu pondered. “You’re a little too eye-catching now. Ji Lutian, don’t you know the divine ability Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth?”
“Will I have any problems?” Ji Lutian said angrily. “In our era, fighting doesn’t depend on size. I can fight ten of these fools alone.”
“I believe you can fight ten of them alone.” Zhou Shu smiled. “But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Just be accommodating. I can teach you the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth.”
“I don’t need you to teach me. I know it. It’s just that I felt that it was useless in the past, so I didn’t cultivate it.” Ji Lutian rolled his eyes. “I’ve already become familiar with the giant spirit race over the past few days, and they’ve already acknowledged me as a member of their race. When I cultivate the Lawful Embodiment of Heaven and Earth later, there won’t be any problems.”
Ji Lutian was smug. He was not to be trifled with.
“That’s good.” Zhou Shu nodded.
Just as he was thinking, he suddenly saw a barefoot little girl running over from the stronghold.
“Ling’er?” A smile appeared on his face. Ling’er had now become the size of a human girl and looked seven to eight years old.
She giggled, ran to Zhou Shu, and shouted, “Master!”
Zhou Shu rubbed Ling’er’s head and asked curiously, “Ling’er, what did you call me?”
“Master.” Ling’er raised her head and said seriously, “He told me that since you taught me to become bigger and smaller, you are my master. He even said that a master for a day is a father for life. You’re just like my father. I think what he said makes sense. Master, I’ll call you Master from now on, okay?”
Ling’er looked expectant.
Zhou Shu looked askance at Ji Lutian. What have you done in the past few days when I wasn’t around?
Ji Lutian looked smug. Aren’t you going to thank me?
“Ling’er, not bad. You remembered what I told you. You’re a promising child,” Ji Lutian said. “Uncle-Master will teach you a few more moves later. If you encounter any asuras in the future, you won’t have to be afraid.”
Uncle-master? Zhou Shu glared at him. He didn’t know what this fellow had said to the giant spirits over the past few days.
If he let Ling’er call him master and Ji Lutian uncle-master, wouldn’t Ji Lutian become his senior brother?
Fortunately, Ji Lutian didn’t go overboard. If he dared to let Ling’er call him grandmaster, Zhou Shu would really teach him a lesson!
“Alright, you can call me Master from now on.” Zhou Shu ruffled Ling’er’s hair and smiled.
Although he felt helpless that his daughter had now become his disciple, it was enough as long as Ling’er was still around.
“Ling’er, why are you looking for me?” Zhou Shu said.
“Daddy asked me to invite you over. He said that he has something important to discuss with you,” Ling’er said.
“Has he settled his matters?” Zhou Shu said.
“I don’t know,” Ling’er said.
Zhou Shu smiled. “Ji Lutian, let’s go meet the legendary Giant Spirit King together. I remember that you’re quite knowledgeable about the history of the giant spirit race. Don’t fumble the ball later.”
“It’s a piece of cake. The giant spirit race has yet to rule the world. So what if he’s the Giant Spirit King? His cultivation might even be inferior to mine.” Ji Lutian made a reassuring gesture. “If I can’t fool him, then I’ve lived all these years in vain.”
Zhou Shu felt a little helpless. “I’m not asking you to fool him. We want to cooperate with the giant spirit race. Whether we can return depends on them.”
“I know. Let’s go,” Ji Lutian urged impatiently.
When Zhou Shu saw the Giant Spirit King again, he had already changed into a coarse linen shirt, and he was no longer covered in wounds.
After the Giant Spirit King saw Ji Lutian sitting on Zhou Shu’s shoulder, surprise flashed across his eyes. But he had already seen Ling’er become bigger and smaller, so he didn’t make a fuss.
“Brother Zhou Shu, please sit.” The Giant Spirit King pulled Zhou Shu’s arm and asked him to take a seat. “Our giant spirit race is short of food and doesn’t know your preferences. It’s just a simple meal. Brother Zhou Shu, please don’t take offense.”
The Giant Spirit King pointed at the mountain of roasted meat on the table.
“It’s pretty good.” Zhou Shu calmly distanced himself from the Giant Spirit King. “Giant Spirit King, why did you call me over?”
The expression of the Giant Spirit King turned solemn. He took two steps back and suddenly knelt on one knee. “Greetings, my king!”
Zhou Shu frowned. Ji Lutian, who was sitting on his shoulder, opened his mouth in shock. What is the meaning of this?
“Giant Spirit King, I’ve said it before. I’m not interested in being the king of the giant spirit race,” Zhou Shu said sternly.
“In our giant spirit race, the strongest is the king. You are the strongest member of our giant spirit race, so it’s only right for you to become our king. I, Cang Huan, am no match for you, so I naturally don’t have the face to take the throne,” the Giant Spirit King said with a serious expression.
“That’s your rule. What does it have to do with me?” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Giant Spirit King, I understand what you mean, but I don’t like your actions.”
He snorted coldly. “If you want to use the position of the king of the giant spirit race to kidnap me and make me work for the giant spirit race, you’re wrong. To put it bluntly, what does the life and death of the giant spirit race have to do with me?”
“You’re from the giant spirit race. How can you say that?” Cang Bai said loudly. “You’re a member of the giant spirit race. How can the life and death of the giant spirit race have nothing to do with you?”
Zhou Shu glanced at him, his eyes cold. He didn’t say anything.
“Cang Bai, don’t be rude!” the Giant Spirit King shouted.
“Brother Zhou Shu, I don’t have any other intentions. I’m sincere about abdicating. You’re stronger than me. It’s better for the giant spirit race if you become the king.” The Giant Spirit King looked at Zhou Shu with a serious expression.
“If you say that again, then I don’t think we have anything to talk about. I’ll leave right away.” Zhou Shu was about to get up.
The expressions of the Giant Spirit King, Cang Huan, and the others changed drastically.
“Old Zhou, don’t be rash,” Ji Lutian, who was on Zhou Shu’s shoulder, suddenly said. “He has good intentions. Even if you don’t want to be the king of the giant spirit race, there’s no need to fall out.”
“Giant Spirit King.” Ji Lutian looked at the Giant Spirit King. “Do you want the giant spirit race to become stronger?”
The Giant Spirit King glanced at Ji Lutian and then at Zhou Shu. “Yes.”
“It’s not difficult for us to make the giant spirit race stronger,” Ji Lutian said confidently. “But why should we help you? It’s not that I’m bragging, but if I help any race, then they can become the ruler of the world and rule the world!”
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes inwardly. Ji Lutian was being narcissistic again, but he didn’t say anything and let Ji Lutian do as he pleased. At this moment, it was more suitable for Ji Lutian to speak.
The Giant Spirit King’s eyes flashed, and his expression became even more serious. “Our giant spirit race doesn’t have anything to offer you now, but if you can really make us stronger and not have to worry about the coercion of other races, then we are willing to worship you as our kings and be at your beck and call. Everything of the giant spirit race will be at your disposal!”
