Chapter 373: Call Me Senior Sister, And I’ll Call You Master’s Wife (2)
Then there seemed to be a faint slapping sound in the air.
Mei Wushang’s expression was serious as he looked straight ahead and ordered, “Clean up the battlefield! Tally up the situation!”
Zhou Shu pressed Lu Wenshuang against his knee, and his big hand kept falling on her butt. He hit her dozens of times before letting go of her.
Lu Wenshuang stood there and wanted to cover her back with her hands, but she was embarrassed. As aloof as she was, her eyes flashed with embarrassment.
For some reason, she didn’t feel any hatred at all. Instead, she felt a tingling sensation in her body. It was strange but somehow endearing.
“Master.” Lu Wenshuang opened her mouth, her voice unusually soft and gentle. When she heard her tone, even she was shocked.
“If you acknowledge me as your master, will your and the grand minister’s master agree?” Zhou Shu felt comfortable when Lu Wenshuang called him her master.
If he remembered correctly, Lu Wenshuang and Yin Wuyou came from the same sect lineage, so they should have a master.
“My master has passed away,” Lu Wenshuang said. “Even if he was still alive, he wouldn’t stop me from choosing another master.”
“He passed away?” Zhou Shu was originally curious about what kind of person could take Yin Wuyou and Lu Wenshuang as their master. He had been in Great Xia for so long, but he had never seen him before.
So, he was dead.
“It’s a pity I can’t meet such a character. What can I do?” Zhou Shu sighed.
“There’s no problem accepting you as my disciple.” Zhou Shu looked at Lu Wenshuang, a strange feeling remained on his palm. “But you’re at most an in-name disciple now. If I’m not satisfied, I’ll kick you at any time and take back the God of War Catalog. Do you understand?”
“In-name disciple?” Lu Wenshuang nodded. “Don’t worry, Master. I won’t disappoint you. I’ll definitely fulfill all your instructions.”
Lu Wenshuang’s expression was serious. She had never failed in anything since she was young. She believed that she would become a proper disciple sooner or later!
Zhou Shu coughed lightly and turned to walk to the other side of the hill. Mei Wushang, Wang Xin, and the others were still there.
Lu Wenshuang quickly followed. The spot where she was hit felt a little uncomfortable, which made the way she walked slightly strange.
The two of them returned to the battlefield one after another. Lu Wenshuang seemed to have returned to when she was on a diplomatic mission to Great Qin. She stood quietly behind Zhou Shu like a guard or a maid.
“How are the casualties?” Zhou Shu asked in response to Mei Wushang’s slightly dark gaze.
“The brothers all suffered some minor injuries, but they’re fine.” Mei Wushang said briefly. In fact, some of their injuries were not that minor.
The Dark Cloud Armor could withstand attacks, but the impact of the attacks couldn’t be completely eliminated.
They basically had no external injuries, but the internal injuries were slightly more tricky.
Still, it was a miracle that no one had died. Minor internal injuries were nothing on a battlefield like this.
“In this battle, we killed 4,967 Great Wei soldiers and won a great victory!” Mei Wushang said with some excitement.
When they returned to Great Xia, all of them would be able to brag about this battle record for the rest of their lives!
The difference in numbers was several times greater than theirs. They had completely wiped out the enemy, and none of their soldiers had died. Such an achievement could be said to be a legend!
“Who killed the most enemies?” Zhou Shu nodded, very satisfied.
This trip has been rewarding.
Five thousand enemies brought his strength up a notch.
The people Zhou Shu brought this time were all equipped with weapons he had personally forged. Every time they killed someone, they would bring him benefits from the Legendary Armament Canon.
After the battle, his strength had improved greatly. The Heavenly Saber Art, the Visualization of the Five Mountains’ True Form, the Riding on Cloud and Wind Technique, and the God of War Catalog had all improved greatly.
In particular, his spiritual essence cultivation had naturally reached the second rank of the Martial Dao!
No one would believe that Zhou Shu had killed first-rank demonic beasts like cutting melons and vegetables even though his spiritual essence cultivation had only been at the third rank.
Even now, his spiritual essence cultivation was still only at the second rank.
This was also why Zhou Shu had been somewhat restrained when facing the dozen or so first-rank demonic beasts last time.
His main combat strength now was in the Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique and the Golden Bell Shield Technique. These two cultivation techniques were both close-combat cultivation techniques, and his long-range attacks were limited.
At the second rank, my overall strength has increased by at least thirty percent compared to before, Zhou Shu thought.
This 30% must not be underestimated. With his current strength, even if it was just a slight increase, it was already a huge difference. A 30% difference was already comparable to someone breaking through a major realm.
If Zhou Shu encountered Yao Lian again, he was confident that he could suppress Yao Lian unscathed.
Of course, this was assuming Yao Lian had no other trump cards.
But it was clearly impossible. As far as he knew, Yao Lian had a trump card, which was the imitation imperial cauldron.
“The one who killed the most enemies was General Wang Xin,” Mei Wushang said.
“Wang Xin? He doesn’t count.” Zhou Shu shook his head. Although Wang Xin had once again defended his title as the strongest worker, Zhou Shu had already given him a Breakthrough Pill before coming, so he could forget about other rewards.
“I’m more than content to take revenge.” Wang Xin knew very well how much he had benefited. Breaking through to the second rank had saved him more than ten years of effort. How could he dare to think about anything else?
“Then, it’s me.” Mei Wushang scratched his head sheepishly.
“Good job.” Zhou Shu laughed and casually threw out a Cosmic Bangle. “This is yours.”
Mei Wushang was overjoyed and put the Cosmic Bangle on his wrist lovingly. He was a big muscular man, but he had a bangle on his wrist. Instead of laughing, the others looked envious.
It was a Cosmic Bangle!
“Everyone has contributed to this battle. Everyone will be heavily rewarded.” Zhou Shu raised his voice. “I promise that each of you will have a ranked weapon forged especially for you!”
The crowd fell silent. A moment later, everyone cheered.
Most of the Hundred Wars Armored Army had cultivation levels within the lower three ranks. Before this, they had yet to possess a ranked weapon of their own.
“But let me make this clear first. In the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament, the Huaxia Pavilion has limited manpower. You will have to take turns to get your ranked weapon,” Zhou Shu added.
They didn’t care. They didn’t mind waiting.
This would be faster than saving up to buy a ranked weapon.
Seeing everyone cheer, Zhou Shu nodded slightly. What honest workers. I’ll slowly equip them with ranked weapons and let them continue working for me…
After rewarding everyone with their spoils, they set off on their way back.
On the way back, they encountered a few more Demon Realm soldiers, but there weren’t many of them.
With Wang Xin and Mei Wushang, two fierce generals, Zhou Shu didn’t even need to do anything himself.
There were several times when Lu Wenshuang wanted to attack, but Zhou Shu scolded her. She wasn’t even a worker. What right did she have to attack?
The group successfully returned to the camp. Yin Wuyou was waiting nervously on the wall.
After learning that Lu Wenshuang had secretly left the camp to look for Zhou Shu, Yin Wuyou couldn’t sit still. She was extremely worried.
Originally, she was still a little embarrassed to see Zhou Shu. But now, she couldn’t care less.
If someone beat her to it, it would be too late.
Yin Wuyou flew to Zhou Shu and Lu Wenshuang and shouted angrily, “Little Senior Sister Lu!”
“In the future, you can call me Senior Sister, and I’ll call you Master’s Wife. We’ll take this separately,” Lu Wenshuang said calmly.
Yin Wuyou, who was about to denounce her, was stunned, her mouth wide open. “What did you say?”
“He’s my master now. If you don’t want to be my master’s wife, forget it.” Lu Wenshuang pointed at Zhou Shu.
Yin Wuyou’s face turned red.
Zhou Shu glanced at Yin Wuyou, and the scene from back then naturally appeared in his mind. This wife is very acceptable…
