842 I’ll Share Half of the Benefits With You (1)

“Hu Li? He can’t do it. He’s not a suitable leader.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “He can be your general, but you’re the most suitable demonic beast to rule.”

“King Zhou, you think too highly of me.” Yao Buqi smiled bitterly. In the past, he really wanted to be the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.

But the situation in the Demon Realm was too complicated now. Not to mention that the demonic beasts had all gone crazy, he couldn’t even do anything about the Demon Kings.

Now, with so many Demon Kings appearing out of nowhere in the Demon Realm, each stronger than the last, Yao Buqi didn’t think that he would be able to cultivate to the Demon King realm in his life. Under such circumstances, how could he lead those Demon Kings?

He felt that Zhou Shu was thinking too simply. Humans might not need much strength to be an emperor in the human world. But in the Demon Realm, if demonic beasts weren’t strong enough, they would be overthrown in minutes.

“No,” Zhou Shu said. “Yao Buqi, you’re the smartest demonic beast I’ve ever seen.”

Yao Buqi opened his mouth. He really didn’t expect Zhou Shu to give him such an evaluation.

“I’m not that outstanding…” Yao Buqi said sheepishly.

“Don’t get me wrong. I said you’re the smartest, not that you have a high IQ.”

“IQ?” Yao Buqi didn’t understand the meaning of this term.

“You know what to do and what not to do. This is a sign of smarts.” Zhou Shu had no intention of explaining the meaning of IQ and continued, “Only when you’re the ruler of the demonic beasts can I be at ease. Because you’re smart enough, you won’t do anything you shouldn’t do.”

Realization flashed across Yao Buqi’s face. He said awkwardly, “King Zhou, why don’t you just say that I’m afraid of death?”

“So what if you’re afraid of death? Being afraid of death isn’t a drawback. I’m afraid of death too.” Zhou Shu smiled. “Don’t worry. I’m not asking you to be my puppet. I’ll help you, and I won’t interfere in how you manage the demonic beasts. It’s all up to you.”

Yao Buqi fell silent. He began to consider Zhou Shu’s proposal seriously.

To be honest, he had never considered such a matter before.

All along, he had wanted to come to the human race and seek refuge with Zhou Shu so that he could stay in a safe living environment. For this, he didn’t hesitate to mine.

To him, he was already very satisfied to be able to live safely.

After all, the world was in chaos.

But now, Zhou Shu’s words aroused his already extinguished ambitions.

That’s right. Yao Buqi had ambitions back then.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have cooperated with Zhou Shu for the position of the Holy Son of the Demon Realm.

The fact that he dared to take the risk back then meant that he had the drive in him.

Now that Zhou Shu had already said so much, Yao Buqi wanted to give it a try.

After a moment of silence, he raised his head and looked at Zhou Shu with a serious expression. “King Zhou, I want to know what your specific plan is.”

“Specific plan?” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I don’t have a plan, but let me tell you this. If you dare to do it, I’ll give you Hu Li and one hundred and eight first-rank demonic beasts, all of whom can stay conscious.

“In addition, I will supply you with connate bloodline divine weapons in the future. As long as demonic beasts refine connate bloodline divine weapons, they will be able to avoid the control of heavenly slaves and not fall into a crazy state.

“As for how many demonic beasts you can use them to recruit, it will depend on your ability.”

Yao Buqi’s eyes flickered, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his face. After a while, he continued, “King Zhou, how many connate bloodline divine weapons can you supply me?

“In addition, all the demonic beasts in the Demon Realm have gone crazy. How can I get them to refine these connate divine weapons?”

Yao Buqi was still relatively smart. He immediately grasped the two main problems.

“You don’t have to worry about refining bloodline connate divine weapons. The one hundred and eight demonic beasts I’m going to send you are proficient in forging. I’ve already taught them the method to refine bloodline connate divine weapons. As long as you can capture demonic beasts alive, they can refine the bloodline connate divine weapons into the demonic beasts’ bodies.

“As for how many connate bloodline divine weapons I can supply you, it will depend on your ability.”

“It will depend on my ability?” Yao Buqi pondered and said, “King Zhou, do you mean that the connate bloodline divine weapons are not provided to me for free?”

“Of course not.” Zhou Shu smiled. “Yao Buqi, you don’t want to owe me too much, right? If I supply you with divine weapons for free, then you’ll be an army under me.

“In other words, you will exist independently, and we’re still just cooperating.

“Take some valuable things and trade them with me. The connate divine weapons you buy will be yours.”

Zhou Shu’s expression was calm. He didn’t hide anything and spoke frankly to Yao Buqi.

“King Zhou, this matter is very important. I can’t agree to it immediately. I have to talk to Demon King Hu Li and the one hundred and eight demonic beasts you’ve mentioned to me before I can make a decision,” Yao Buqi said solemnly.

Zhou Shu nodded. “I’m more at ease with your attitude.”
