In the hollowed-out mountainside, Zhang Chunlin stared at Zhou Shu with wide eyes.

After light flashed on Zhou Shus body, his figure and appearance changed drastically.

The originally scarlet eyes became black and white again.

His aura had also changed drastically.

If he hadnt seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Chunlin would definitely not believe that there was such a disguise technique in this world!

His disguise was simply flawless.

He just stood still and watched. He didnt think that the demon from before was the same as the human in front of him!

Are you really human? Zhang Chunlin felt his throat go dry.

That sounds a little like an insult. Zhou Shu shook his head. Although the divine ability Myriad Transformations was very magical, it had a flawit only lasted for a day.

After a day, it needed to be cast again.

Although there was no cooldown time in between, the transformation process would take several breaths time, so there was still a certain risk of exposure.

Zhou Shu had asked Yao Aotian to dig up the mountainside. First, he needed to use this place to do some work that wouldnt be seen by the demons, and second, he needed to find a safe place for him to transform.

Surely now youre thoroughly convinced, Zhou Shu said. Youre from Great Xia, and Im also from Great Xia. Speaking of which, Im the King of the South of Great Xia.

Great Xia doesnt have such a t.i.tle! Zhang Chunlin said.

How many years have you been away from Great Xia? Zhou Shu asked.

I fell into the hands of the demons during the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament twenty years ago. Zhang Chunlin was a little ashamed. After all, being captured alive by the enemy was not a glorious experience.

I wasnt even born twenty years ago. Of course, the t.i.tle didnt exist then, Zhou Shu said casually.

Zhang Chunlin frowned. Youre not even twenty? How can you be made a king at your age?

He didnt believe it. He now believed that Zhou Shu was human, but he didnt believe that Zhou Shu was the King of the South.

How could a young man in his twenties become the king of a nation?

How many talented people might not be able to become a king in their entire lives? How could a young man like him?

Believe it or not, its up to you. Zhou Shu couldnt be bothered to explain too much. Its fine as long as you know that Im a human.

I need your cooperation to do something now.

Zhou Shu continued, Now Im helping Demon King Hu Li of the Demon Realm to build a Demon King Palace

Why? Zhang Chunlin asked.

Theres no reason, Zhou Shu said. If I dont do this, how can I deceive Hu Li and get all the things from the hands of those Great Demons?

I understand, Zhang Chunlin said. You want to take advantage of the construction to fill your own pockets.

You know quite a lot, Zhou Shu said. You used to be an official of Great Xia?

I was the grand minister of the Forging Division of Great Xia! Zhang Chunlin said proudly.

The Forging Division, the grand minister? Zhou Shu looked at Zhang Chunlin in surprise. He really hadnt expected this.

No wonder this guy was so familiar with filling his own pockets. The decline of the Great Xia Forging Division had something to do with him, right?

Back when he was an apprentice in the Forging Division, Zhou Shu had felt that the Great Xia Forging Divisions system was extremely unreasonable. It was simply comparable to a sweatshop.

It hadnt been long since Yin Wuyou became the grand minister of the Forging Division. The bad practices definitely didnt have anything to do with her.

Now, he had finally found the source. Zhang Chunlin was so familiar with embezzlement and bribery. He must have done similar things when he was the grand minister of the Forging Division.

Do you know Zhu Chuanfeng and Xiao Zongshui? Zhou Shu asked.

For some reason, Zhang Chunlin felt that the man in front of him had become a little unfriendly, making his hair stand on end.

Of course I do. Grandmaster Zhu Chuanfeng is my good friend, and Xiao Zongshui is a workshop superintendent, so Im naturally familiar with him, Zhang Chunlin said.

Hmph. I guess youre not that good yourself. Zhou Shu snorted. If we werent in the Demon Realm, I would have thrown you to the demonic beasts.

What do you mean? Zhang Chunlins face darkened.

Although he was temporarily working with Zhou Shu, he wasnt afraid of him. He had already endured twenty years of torture. What was there to be afraid of?

I cant be bothered to tell you. Zhou Shu said. Dont play tricks in front of me like you did in the Great Xia Forging Division. Otherwise, dont blame me for dealing with you the same way I dealt with Xiao Zongshui.

The same way you dealt with Xiao Zongshui? Who are you? What do you mean? What happened to Grand Craftsman Zhu and Xiao Zongshui?

Zhang Chunlin was confused. He didnt know why this persons att.i.tude changed when he heard that he had been the grand minister of the Great Xia Forging Division.

Theyre dead, Zhou Shu said coldly. Cut the c.r.a.p and start working. Since youve been the grand minister of the Forging Division, you should be more familiar with the forging process.

c.r.a.p! Before I became the grand minister of the Forging Division, I was the youngest Grand Craftsman in the history of Great Xia! Zhang Chunlin said angrily.

Thats even better.

Zhang Chunlin didnt see any shock on Zhou Shus face. He only saw a flash of light on Zhou Shus body as he transformed back into a demonic beast. Then he walked out. As he walked, he said, Since youre a Grand Craftsman, I dont have to find anyone else to refine the forging materials. Take care of it for me.
