Chapter 652: Chapter 651: Latiao Conquers the Emperor Alien Race! The Immortal Venerable is Stunned Speechless
Chu Sheng quietly asked Bony, who was next to him, "Hey Bony, who are those two Nipogen? I’ve never seen them before."
Bony was focused on handing out the spicy strips. He explained casually, without even looking up.
"Oh, the one on the left is Lord Slime, the Municipal Official of Drake City."
"The one on the right is the Dark Tiger Demon Lord, a confidant of the Red Nether Demon God."
Chu Sheng frowned inwardly. While handing out more spicy strips, he asked nonchalantly,
"Do you know why those two came all the way out to our poor village?"
"To get spicy strips, of course," Bony said, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.
A Monarch-Level Municipal Official, and an Emperor-level Demon God’s confidant.
They came to a backwater place like Village Eight for a single spicy strip and to listen to my lecture?
Chu Sheng didn’t believe it for a second!
’There’s definitely something fishy going on here!’
"Oh, right, I remember now."
Bony suddenly stopped what he was doing and slapped his head.
"I heard from Old Bu that the Dark Tiger Demon Lord came to Drake City this time specifically to find a..."
Bony thought for a long time before continuing uncertainly, "I think... he’s looking for a mosquito."
Chu Sheng’s heart skipped a beat.
’Shit! They found me!’
’I knew it!’
’There’s no way Monarch and Emperor-level aliens would have nothing better to do than come here for a spicy strip and listen to my lecture!’
’When the Lion Scorpion Demon Lord died, it said its direct superior would avenge it.’
’As I expected, these aliens must have some special way of sending messages!’
’And they actually managed to track me here!’
Chu Sheng grew vigilant.
The Power of Law within his body began to circulate quietly.
The twelve Ancestral Witch Statues were ready to be summoned at a moment’s notice.
If they dared to make a move,
Chu Sheng was absolutely confident he could kill them in an instant before they could even react!
Then he’d find a new place, a new disguise, and continue being Teacher Chu!
Soon, it was Slime’s and the Dark Tiger Demon Lord’s turn for spicy strips.
The Power of Law within Chu Sheng’s body was already circulating at its peak.
He maintained his smile and handed a spicy strip to Slime.
Slime eagerly snatched the spicy strip and shoved it into his mouth impatiently.
He closed his eyes, chewed seriously for a moment, and then swallowed reluctantly.
Then, licking his lips as if wanting more, he looked at Chu Sheng and said with utmost sincerity, "Teacher Chu, your spicy strips are just too delicious!"
"Next time, I’ll definitely bring more Nipogen to attend your class!"
"You have to save some extra spicy strips for me!"
Looking at Slime’s incredibly sincere gaze, which showed no hint of deception...
Chu Sheng smiled on the surface and said, "Don’t worry, I have plenty more."
"As long as you bring Nipogen, there will be more than enough spicy strips to go around."
Inwardly, however, he was even more puzzled. ’This guy’s expression doesn’t look fake at all!’
’Could it be... he’s really just here for the spicy strips?’
Chu Sheng didn’t let his guard down.
He walked over to the Dark Tiger Demon Lord and handed him a spicy strip.
The Dark Tiger Demon Lord took the spicy strip.
First, he held it under his nose and sniffed it carefully.
Then, he opened his huge mouth and swallowed the entire strip in one gulp.
"INCREDIBLE!!!"
The Dark Tiger Demon Lord, tasting a spicy strip for the first time, instantly widened his eyes.
The numbing, spicy, and savory flavor conquered his taste buds in an instant.
He had lived for over a thousand years and had never eaten anything so delicious!
"Teacher Chu, these spicy strips of yours are truly amazing!" the Dark Tiger Demon Lord praised from the bottom of his heart.
"Thank you," Chu Sheng said politely.
Then, he calmly turned around and continued handing out spicy strips to the next Nipogen.
Secretly, he had raised his alertness to the maximum!
If the Dark Tiger Demon Lord made the slightest unusual move,
he would strike immediately!
However, by the time all the spicy strips had been handed out,
the Dark Tiger Demon Lord and Slime were still sitting obediently in their spots.
They were as well-behaved as kindergarteners listening attentively to their teacher,
showing no intention of making a move.
Chu Sheng: "..."
’No way!’
’I’m a wanted criminal!’
’I’m standing right in front of you!’
’I’m chatting and laughing while handing you spicy strips!’
’And in your eyes...’
’...there’s...’
’...only spicy strips!!!’
In his mind, Chu Sheng viciously lowered his assessment of the Nipogen Race’s collective intelligence by a huge margin.
Of course, he wasn’t naive enough to think
that the intelligence of all Nipogen was this pathetic.
At least, the Purple Nether Demon Lord and the Lion Scorpion Demon Lord who led the expedition to Blue Star...
...had commanded great armies against the Human Race for so many years. Their intelligence was in no way inferior to that of human strategists!
’It seems not all Nipogen go to the battlefield.’
’The ones who stay home are probably the ones who aren’t too bright.’
After confirming that the Dark Tiger Demon Lord and Slime were really just there for spicy strips and the lecture,
Chu Sheng quietly dispersed the Power of Law in his body, leaving only a sliver of basic vigilance.
He cleared his throat and walked onto the temporarily constructed platform.
"My dear family!"
"It is fate that has brought us all together today!"
"I know many of you are skeptical whether this project of mine is real."
"But the proof is right before your eyes!"
"Bony, who was the first to follow me, can now live off the interest alone! He no longer needs to perform acrobatics to make a living!"
"What’s more, he now gets to eat white-flour steamed buns and spicy strips every day!"
"As long as you work with me, bring in more people, and deposit more Outer Realm Crystals!"
"Before you know it, you’ll be just like Bony! Eating spicy strips every day and steamed buns with every meal!"
"You will reach the peak of your Nipogen lives!"
...
Chu Sheng’s speech was passionate and rousing.
The Nipogen in the audience listened, their blood boiling with excitement.
One by one, they howled with excitement.
After the speech was over,
the Nipogen lined up and deposited all of their life savings with Chu Sheng.
Then, they left, completely satisfied.
Slime and the Dark Tiger Demon Lord were no exception.
Soon, two piles of Outer Realm Crystals—one large, one small—appeared before Chu Sheng.
The smaller pile was from the tens of thousands of ordinary Nipogen.
The larger one belonged to Slime and the Dark Tiger Demon Lord.
The amount of Outer Realm Crystals deposited by just the two of them was more than what the tens of thousands of ordinary Nipogen had contributed combined!
"With great power comes great wealth, indeed!" Chu Sheng sighed in admiration.
’If I could just scam the Red Nether Demon God too...’
’Wouldn’t I be set for life?!’
As Chu Sheng dreamed of his wonderful future, he had a thought.
He willed the mountain-like piles of Outer Realm Crystals into his Primordial Grotto Heaven.
Seeing more and more Outer Realm Crystals pouring into the Primordial Grotto Heaven as if they were free,
Immortal Venerable Shi Xi, who had been spacing out in the Primordial Grotto Heaven, could no longer contain her curiosity.
She asked in shock, "Don’t tell me you secretly snuck into the Alien Race expeditionary force’s military base again?"
Chu Sheng’s consciousness entered the Primordial Grotto Heaven. He waved a foreleg nonchalantly. "Nope."
Immortal Venerable Shi Xi let out a small sigh of relief.
She had once led the Human Race in resisting the Alien Race’s invasion.
She knew all too well how powerful the Alien Race was and how tightly guarded their military bases were.
The first time Chu Sheng went in, his safe return could only be considered a stroke of luck.
If he went in a second time, he would likely be discovered by the Alien Race and not even his bones would remain!
However, Chu Sheng’s next words left Immortal Venerable Shi Xi stunned on the spot.
"I came directly to the Alien Race’s home base, the Nipogen planet."
"???"
Immortal Venerable Shi Xi’s eyes widened, her mouth agape.
For a long while, she couldn’t utter a single word.
"Immortal Venerable? Immortal Venerable? Immortal Venerable?..."
It wasn’t until Chu Sheng called out to her several times that she finally snapped out of it.
Ten thousand years ago,
she had led the Human Race, exhausting its entire foundation.
In the end, after countless powerful experts had fallen, they had only barely managed to drive the Alien Race out of Blue Star.
But Chu Sheng?
He was only at the Emperor Realm.
And he had already taken the fight straight to the Alien Race’s home world!
Not only that, he was thriving in their lair!
"You... How did you get to the Alien Race’s planet?"
Immortal Venerable Shi Xi finally managed to calm herself and asked with a trembling voice.
"Tch! It’s all that damned Lion Scorpion Demon Lord’s fault."
Chu Sheng briefly explained to Immortal Venerable Shi Xi how he had been swept into a Space tunnel.
Immortal Venerable Shi Xi let out another small sigh of relief.
’Good, he didn’t fight his way in.’
’Otherwise, that would have been too absurd.’
Then, she voiced another question.
"Then... where did you get so many Outer Realm Crystals?"
Chu Sheng said casually, "Oh, the aliens gave them to me willingly!"
"???"
Immortal Venerable Shi Xi had lived since the Divine Revelation Era.
For the first time, she felt like her brain couldn’t keep up.
