1201 We Can Give You Money (1)

“Tell me. What exactly do you want?” Zhou Shu looked at the Grotto-Heaven Masters coldly.

He knew very well what these Grotto-Heaven Masters were like.

Zhou Shu definitely didn’t believe that these people were really here to thank him.

Actually, after thinking about it, he knew why these people were here.

The Grotto-Heaven Masters looked a little embarrassed, but the Ji Xuan Grotto-Heaven Master still braced himself and said, “King Zhou, we’re here to express our gratitude and to seek peace with you.

“To be honest with you, we were bewitched by others previously and indeed had the intention to target you. But fortunately, we didn’t take action, so we didn’t cause irreparable damage.

He said seriously, “After what happened previously, we’ve already thought it through. We have no grudges with you, King Zhou. We really don’t have to fight to the death.

“Our real enemy should be Cao Chenyang. We came this time to form an alliance with you. We want to help each other and deal with Cao Chenyang together!”

He looked righteous, as if they were really here to deal with the enemy.

A mocking smile appeared on Zhou Shu’s face. “You’ve seen Cao Chenyang’s ability to devour martial artists to increase his strength. You’re afraid that you’ll become Cao Chenyang’s next target, right?

“More than coming to form an alliance with me, you’re here to seek protection. To put it bluntly, you want to push me to the front and fight Cao Chenyang to the death. This way, you can reap the benefits, right?”

Zhou Shu sneered.

The Grotto-Heaven Masters didn’t look embarrassed at all. But the surprise in their eyes betrayed their inner thoughts.

Their true goal was naturally to use Zhou Shu as a shield, but they definitely couldn’t say this.

“King Zhou, you’re really wronging us. We definitely have no intention of reaping the benefits!” The Ji Xuan Grotto-Heaven Master swore to the heavens. “We really came to form an alliance with you with sincerity. If you’re in trouble, our various Grotto-Heavens will definitely help!

“As long as it’s to deal with Cao Chenyang, we’re willing to listen to your orders and follow your lead!”

The words of the Ji Xuan Grotto-Heaven Master were almost no different from being loyal to Zhou Shu.

Of course, they still kept a fig leaf. They only talked about cooperation and not submitting.

“Listen to my orders? I need someone to be the bait to lure Cao Chenyang out. Which one of you is willing?” Zhou Shu said.

The Grotto-Heaven Masters almost subconsciously took a step back. Then they realized that their actions were a little embarrassing, and all of them blushed slightly.

“King Zhou, it’s not that we’re unwilling to be bait, but we’re Grotto-Heaven Masters after all. Cao Chenyang might not dare to attack us.”

Zhou Shu looked at them silently with a faint smile.

The Grotto-Heaven Masters were a little embarrassed. They knew that their words didn’t make sense.

Previously, in Cao Chenyang’s grotto-heaven, Cao Chenyang had specially targeted Grotto-Heaven Masters.

After all, devouring a Grotto-Heaven Master was stronger than devouring hundreds of ordinary martial artists.

It was precisely because of this that the Grotto-Heaven Masters came to find Zhou Shu. They were afraid that Cao Chenyang would ambush them.

Speaking of which, Grotto-Heaven Masters like them were in even more danger than ordinary martial artists now.

After all, to Cao Chenyang, Grotto-Heaven Masters were even more nutritious ‘food’!

“There’s a saying that the Dao is different, so we can’t work together. You should have heard of it, right?” Zhou Shu said coldly. “The door is right there. Goodbye!”

He couldn’t resolve the change in the temperament of these Grotto-Heaven Masters now, and he couldn’t be bothered to deal with these timid Grotto-Heaven Masters either. Looking at their cowardly appearances, Zhou Shu felt vexed!

“King Zhou, wait.” The Grotto-Heaven Masters gathered and raised their voices. “Everything can be discussed.

“Aren’t there other Grotto-Heaven Masters working under you? The few of us are quite strong. If you don’t mind, we can help you guard the surroundings.

“But we suffered some injuries previously. In order to help you guard the surroundings better, we hope that we can recuperate in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven…”

Zhou Shu was almost amused by the words of the Grotto-Heaven Masters. You’re injured? You need to recuperate in the Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven before you can help me? Are you sure you’re not joking?

Dignified Grotto-Heaven Masters can actually say such shameless words! You’re so afraid of death that you can even do this. What else can’t you do?

Zhou Shu was even more certain that the temperament of the Grotto-Heaven Masters had been affected. Even ordinary people wouldn’t behave in this manner after becoming a Grotto-Heaven Master.

Not to mention Grotto-Heaven Masters, it was rare even among ordinary martial artists.

It was abnormal for so many Grotto-Heaven Masters to be born afraid of death.

Zhou Shu sneered. “It’s not impossible for you to recuperate in my Xu Ling Grotto-Heaven.”

The Grotto-Heaven Masters were delighted. They didn’t care about Zhou Shu’s tone. As long as they could survive, it didn’t matter if they lost some face temporarily.

He who laughs last laughs longest.
