1048 You Can’t Afford to Hire Me (1)
Zhou Shu’s words made Feng Wu’s expression change drastically. Could someone have followed me?
In that case, I’ve sinned greatly!
“Who is it?! Come out!” Feng Wu shouted while looking around vigilantly. He even took out a connate divine weapon.
He looked ahead warily but didn’t see anything unusual.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, the air suddenly fluctuated at the entrance of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace. A figure was standing on the threshold and looking at Zhou Shu with a burning gaze.
“It’s you?” Feng Wu was shocked and furious. “Lord, it’s her. She’s the clansman of the qingqiu race who obtained the opportunity of the Fire King!
“Who are you? How did you follow me? How dare you!”
Feng Wu was so angry that his hair was about to stand on end. This qingqiu race is too hateful.
If Lord Zhou Shu blames me for not doing my job well because of this, even if I kill her, it won’t resolve my hatred!
At the same time, Feng Wu felt a little puzzled. He was already so vigilant. How did this qingqiu do it?
Although Feng Wu was not extremely strong, he had been a merchant for many years and was experienced. It wasn’t easy for ordinary people to follow him.
The qingqiu ignored Feng Wu, and her gaze landed on Zhou Shu. “Sir, you must be the creator of the connate divine weapons. I have heard a lot about you. Greetings.”
Zhou Shu narrowed his flickering eyes, staring at the qingqiu standing on the threshold. The qingqiu, who seemed like she was afraid she would be in danger if she stepped into the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, was silent.
Seeing that Zhou Shu didn’t say anything, the woman frowned slightly. “I came without your invitation. Please forgive me for my rudeness, but I have no ill intentions. I just want to make a deal with you.”
The woman was slender and graceful. Her face was so exquisite that it was as if she had walked out of a painting.
Zhou Shu was silent for a long time before speaking. “Bai Qianqian!”
He said a name.
The woman was slightly stunned. “You know me?”
Zhou Shu stared at the woman and said coldly, “Are you putting on an act?”
A cold glint flashed across his eyes, and his aura soared into the sky. His killing intent had already enveloped the qingqiu.
The woman felt her entire body turn cold. She was alarmed and subconsciously wanted to retreat and leave the Lingxiao Treasure Palace.
But before she retreated, she finally came back to her senses. She forcefully endured the fear in her heart and stabilized herself.
“I don’t understand what you mean, sir,” the woman said. “You must have asked about me after taking in the bai ze race. I didn’t expect the bai ze race to know about someone like me.”
The woman bowed politely. “Greetings, I am Bai Qianqian. May I know your name?”
Zhou Shu frowned slightly. He looked at the woman. Her expression was calm, and she didn’t look guilty at all.
If she was acting, it was too real.
“You don’t know me?” Zhou Shu asked in a low voice.
“If I knew you, I wouldn’t have to do this.” The woman shook her head.
She seemed to understand and asked curiously, “Did you get the wrong person? Does someone look like me? That’s strange.”
Zhou Shu frowned. It would have been fine if they only looked alike, but it was too much of a coincidence that even their names were the same!
In the future, he had once known a demonic beast in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. Her name was Bai Qianqian!
Bai Qianqian had lived in seclusion in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court. When Zhou Shu saw her, she was only a soul, and her body had already been destroyed.
From her words and actions, Zhou Shu knew that she addressed the first demonic beast in the world, the Demon Ancestor, as her sister. He also found out that Bai Qianqian was from Shi Changsheng’s era.
Later, Zhou Shu gave Bai Qianqian a Reincarnation Pill to help her form her body again. Then she left the Demon Realm Ancestral Court and disappeared.
At the time, she acted as if she was afraid of someone and left in a hurry.
Zhou Shu would never have thought that he would actually see Bai Qianqian again!
The woman from the qingqiu race in front of him looked exactly like Bai Qianqian, and her name was exactly the same.
Zhou Shu would never believe that she had nothing to do with the Bai Qianqian he knew!
“Do you know a tiger named Little White?” Zhou Shu asked in a low voice.
“Little White? Tiger?” Bai Qianqian looked puzzled and shook her head. “I don’t understand what you’re saying.
“Sir, I’m here on behalf of the qingqiu race to discuss a business deal with you.”
Bai Qianqian’s expression was serious. “I don’t know who you mistook me for, but I’m very sure that this is the first time I’ve met you.”
Zhou Shu was silent for a moment before saying, “This is indeed the first time we’ve met.”
In a sense, this was the first time he had seen Bai Qianqian alive. The one who reconstructed her body didn’t count.
“Tell me. What deal do you want to make with me? If I’m not wrong, you’re not the king of the qingqiu race, right? Can you make decisions on behalf of the qingqiu race?” Zhou Shu’s voice was a little cold.
