Chapter 321: Miners, the Idea of Saving Spies (2)

“I am so useless. How can I challenge Yao Wudi?”
“It’s not because you’re useless.” Zhou Shu shook his head and said casually, “It’s not just you. On this battlefield, other than your lord, Yao Lian, no one else can withstand my sword.”
“Is there any point in saying all this?” Yao Qing stared at the roof. “Only useless people would find excuses. If I’m defeated, so be it. It’s a fact that I’m inferior.
“Kill me. I will never be a slave like Yao Buqi!”
“Are you such a coward?” Zhou Shu said coldly. “It’s easy to die. Living is difficult. Are you willing to die like this? If you don’t defeat Yao Wudi, can you rest in peace?”!!
“So what? I can’t defeat Yao Wudi.” Yao Qing was disheartened. “I can’t even take one blow from you. Yao Wudi is stronger than you. How can I defeat him?”
It seems like I used too much strength, Zhou Shu thought. I might have dealt too big a blow to Yao Qing.
This guy looks big and burly. Who would have thought his mental fortitude was so low?
As for Yao Qing’s claim that Yao Wudi was stronger than him, Zhou Shu didn’t take it to heart.
When he entered the dream as Yao Wudi, Zhou Shu knew that he had an imaginary enemy called Yao Wudi, who was the number one youth expert in the Demon Realm.
Yao Qing’s goal had always been to defeat Yao Wudi. Zhou Shu didn’t understand why he wanted to do so when he entered the dream. After all, in the three years he was in the dream, Yao Qing had only cultivated bitterly. He hadn’t come into contact with anyone at all.
“You don’t have the ability to defeat Yao Wudi, but I do,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “I said that I could teach you a supreme saber technique—”
“Why?” Yao Qing turned to look at Zhou Shu. “Why would you do that? You and I are enemies. It’s only right that you kill me. Why do you want to teach me a saber technique?
“If I cultivate a supreme saber technique, it will only cause greater casualties to you!”
“Is that so?” Zhou Shu didn’t express his opinion. “Of course, I’m doing this because half of your bloodline belongs to the human race.”
Yao Qing frowned. Bloodline was indeed very important in the Demon Realm.
For example, he, Yao Ji, Yao Buqi, and the others’ parents were great demons. They were born with the surname of Yao and were one level higher than ordinary demonic beasts in the Demon Realm.
The other demonic beasts were also divided into levels according to their bloodlines.
This was also why a single Yao Buqi could threaten hundreds of demonic beasts to obey.
It was because a high-level demonic beast like Yao Buqi had a respected status. His life was much more important than an ordinary demonic beast’s life.
If it was because of his bloodline, it was understandable that he would do so.
Yao Qing’s eyes gradually regained their luster. No one was willing to die if they could live.
Although this man might not be able to defeat Yao Wudi, he’s indeed very strong. If I can learn a supreme saber technique from him…
“What do you want me to do?” Yao Qing said coldly.
“Even if I am half human, you don’t have to do this. There are so many humans, and I’ve never seen you teach them any saber techniques.”
Yao Qing stared at Zhou Shu. He was no fool. There was no free lunch in the world.
“What do you think you can do for me?” Zhou Shu replied with a question.
Yao Qing frowned. “I don’t want to beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it.”
“Let me ask you. Does your human bloodline come from your father or mother?” Zhou Shu asked calmly.
Yao Qing snorted. “Why are you asking?”
“Naturally, it’s useful,” Zhou Shu said.
Back then, Meng Bai had told him that the ten nations had sent many people to infiltrate the Demon Realm to find out more about it, but they had never returned.
He now suspected that one of Yao Qing’s parents was a spy from the ten nations who had entered the Demon Realm back then.
“My father,” Yao Qing said coldly.
“What is your father’s name?” Zhou Shu continued asking.
Yao Qing stared at Zhou Shu for a long time before spitting out a name from between his teeth. “Ji Lutian!”
Zhou Shu nodded and remembered this name. He could ask around later which nation this Ji Lutian was from.
He wondered if he had betrayed the humans or if he was forced…
“So you should be called Ji Qing, not Yao Qing.” Zhou Shu rubbed his chin.
Yao Qing snorted but said nothing.
“Ji Qing, I’ve already told you what I want you to do.” Zhou Shu chuckled.
“Mining?” Yao Qing frowned.
When he had been attacked by Zhou Shu, he had regretted missing this opportunity.
Unexpectedly, he now had another chance.
No matter how he thought about it, he got the better end of the deal.
Why is this man doing this?
He’s clearly so strong, so why does he care about some useless mineral mines?
Although Yao Qing also used weapons, he had grown up in the Demon Realm and didn’t know much about weapons.
He really couldn’t understand Zhou Shu’s enthusiasm for forging materials.
“How many minerals do I need to trade for a saber technique?” Yao Qing asked coldly.
Zhou Shu laughed and snapped his fingers.
Yao Qing was different from Yao Buqi. Zhou Shu had great use for him. Letting him mine was only the first step.
The fact that he said that meant he was beginning to compromise, which was a good thing.
“For every mineral vein you mine out, I’ll teach you a saber technique,” Zhou Shu said.
Yao Qing struggled to sit up. “Okay!”
“Also, I don’t care what happens in the future, but in this space, you and your underlings are not allowed to take the initiative to attack humans.”
Zhou Shu said coldly, “Otherwise, I don’t mind killing all of you.
“Miners are everywhere. It doesn’t necessarily have to be you!”
Yao Qing narrowed his eyes and stared at Zhou Shu.
After a long moment, he said, “I promise you. But if humans attack us, I won’t stand by and do nothing.”
“Of course,” Zhou Shu said. “Later, get your people to wrap a yellow cloth around their bodies. This way, our people won’t attack you.”
Yao Qing thought for a moment but couldn’t think of any problem.
But it was just mining. He didn’t mind.
He didn’t want to fight the human armies either. Those people were too weak and couldn’t be used for training at all.
“I understand.” Yao Qing climbed to his feet. “I hope you will honor this agreement and that you will live a little longer.”
“You’re gutsy to speak like that in front of me.” Zhou Shu couldn’t help laughing. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll change my mind and kill you now?”
“Kill me if you want,” Yao Qing said. “If I even frown, then I, Yao Qing, am not a man!”
“You were never a man!” Zhou Shu scoffed. At most, you’re just a male demon.
…
Seeing Zhou Shu let Yao Qing go, Yin Wuyou and Mi Ziwen hesitated for a long time. Yin Wuyou finally couldn’t help asking, “Zhou Shu, why did you let him go?”
“So that he can go mine for me.” Zhou Shu smiled. “Look, these demonic beasts are all good miners.
“When Yao Qing goes back, he can at least gather a few thousand demonic beasts. This is a good way to mine more forging materials.”
Yin Wuyou and Mi Ziwen had looks of disbelief.
“Alright, Yao Qing is a mix of human and demon.” Zhou Shu shrugged. “His father is a human.
“Have you ever heard of a man named Ji Lutian?
“I suspect that his father may be a spy sent by the ten nations to the Demon Realm. Through him, we may be able to retrieve the agents who have fallen there.
“They might still be alive.”
Yin Wuyou, Mi Ziwen, and the others were stunned. They didn’t expect Zhou Shu to have such thoughts.
“Ji Lutian? Why does this name sound so familiar?” Yin Wuyou frowned and pondered.
She turned to Mi Ziwen.
Mi Ziwen also looked thoughtful. “Ji Lutian, I do think I’ve seen this name somewhere before.”
“Ji Lutian? Your Highness, are you sure it’s Ji Lutian?” Shi Songtao said from the side. He looked surprised. “If his name is really Ji Lutian, then I know who he is!”
