Zhou Shu didn’t say what he wanted. Instead, he asked Mu Zhixing how much he could pay.
Mu Zhixing cursed Zhou Shu for being a sly old fox in his mind. King Zhou is really getting more and more difficult to deal with.
Since he isn’t saying what he wants, it means he wants a sky-high price.
What can I give?
I want to take away the Book of Life and Death without paying anything. Are you willing?
Will you be satisfied once I name my price?
Mu Zhixing rolled his eyes inwardly. The most expensive price was not to name a price.
If the price he offered was too low, it would be insincere.
He didn’t know what Zhou Shut s expectations were at all. To be safe, he could only offer a high price.
No matter what, Mu Zhixing was the one at a disadvantage!
Damn it. Since you aren’t dead, why haven’t you returned to the ancestral land? Instead, you came to the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom!
Don’t you know that the ancestral land is in chaos?
It’s fine if you want to come to the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom. But do you have to go against me?
There are many treasures in the Zhu Rong Heavenly Kingdom. Why do you have to target the Book of Life and Death?
It’s not very useful for you to have the Book of Life and Death. Aren’t you a forger? You can just forge divine weapons yourself.
Mu Zhixing complained crazily in his mind, but he knew very well that he had no other option.
The Book of Life and Death had already fallen into Zhou Shut s hands. If he wanted it, he could only satisfy Zhou Shu.
Change is the only constant. The wheel of fortune turns. Mu Zhixing sighed inwardly, thinking that he had taken a huge advantage in the Glacial Palace…
This time, I’m going to suffer a loss…
“Well, actually, King Zhou, I don’t want the Book of Life and Death. I just want to borrow it,” Mu Zhixing said with a conflicted expression. “How about I rent the Book of Life and Death from you?”
“Rent?” Zhou Shu smiled. “How do you want to rent it?”
Mu Zhixing gritted his teeth and said, “King Zhou, lend me the Book of Life and
Death for a year, and I’ll lend you another hundred thousand Gou Mang
Heavenly Kingdom elite soldiers! After a year, I’ll return the Book of Life and
Death to you, and then you’ll return the soldiers to me. How about that?”
“A hundred thousand Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom elite soldiers?” Zhou Shu smiled faintly. “Your Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom is really strong.
“But why do I need a hundred thousand elite soldiers? The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom has already been destroyed. It’s useless for me to have soldiers.”
“Not necessarily,” Mu Zhixing muttered.
“Huh?” Zhou Shu frowned.
Mu Zhixing said, “What I mean is that although you’ve defeated the Xuan Ming
Heavenly Emperor, there are still many scattered soldiers in the Xuan Ming
Heavenly Kingdom. King Zhou, if you want to completely occupy the Xuan
Ming Heavenly Kingdom, you still need a lot of people.”
“There’s no need.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I don’t lack manpower. Give me something else.”
The Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom had already been defeated. Why would Zhou Shu need an army of 100 ,ooo Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom soldiers?
He didn’t want to invade the other heavenly kingdoms.
Moreover, he would still have to support the 100,000-strong Gou Mang
Heavenly Kingdom army if they went to the ancestral land for a year, and the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom wouldn’t suffer any losses. Mu Zhixing was trying to gain something without risking anything of his own.
Mu Zhixing was thinking too much about taking advantage of Zhou Shu.
“King Zhou, why don’t you name a price?” Mu Zhixing smiled bitterly. “I really can’t think of anything I have that you don’t.
“King Zhou, you won’t care about what I can offer.
“You’re an existence who can even kill the Xuan Ming Black Emperor. I, Mu Zhixing, am just a lowly nobody. What good things can I offer you?”
Mu Zhixing belittled himself and kept flattering Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu smiled faintly. He could already tell that Mu Zhixing was definitely not an ordinary person.
If he was just an ordinary Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom vanguard general, how could he casually mobilize the tens of thousands of troops of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom?
Be it Lin Kedi’s 10,000-strong army or Mu Letian’s 60,000-strong army, the emperor of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom had personally sent them to the human race.
A Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom vanguard general could get the emperor of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom to do this?
It was impossible.
Moreover, he offered a 100,000-strong army at once. This wasn’t the tone of a minor vanguard general.
How was he a lowly nobody?
Zhou Shu felt that compared to Mu Zhixing, he was the nobody.
This time, if he didn’t make a killing from Mu Zhixing, he would be incompetent!
“Mu Zhixing, this isn’t the first time we’ve met,” Zhou Shu said with a faint smile. “You don’t have to pretend to be poor in front of me. It’s fine if we can’t agree on the price. Even if the deal falls through, our relationship remains…”
“No!” Mu Zhixing hurriedly said. “That’s not what I meant, King Zhou. I’m sincere. I really want to borrow the Book of Life and Death.”
He continued, “How about this? How about fifty thousand kilograms of forging materials?”
“The Book of Life and Death is a divine artifact of connate evolution from the beginning of the world. It can reverse life and death,” Zhou Shu said leisurely. “What price do you think it will cost to use such a divine artifact once?
“Is the life of the Supreme Yin Star Lord only worth fifty thousand kilograms of forging materials? Mu Zhixing, are you underestimating me or the Supreme Yin Star Lord?”
Zhou Shu looked at Mu Zhixing with disdain.
Mu Zhixing’s expression collapsed. As expected, he couldn’t hide it from Zhou Shu.
But it made sense. Zhou Shu had personally experienced what had happened in the Glacial Palace. He had taken away the corpse of the Supreme Yin Star Lord in front of him.
As long as Zhou Shu wasn’t a fool, he would definitely be able to connect the two.
Moreover, Wu Gang had followed Zhou Shu for a period of time.. Who knew what Wu Gang had told him?
