"Brat, are you playing me?" Shi Changsheng's face darkened. "I helped you when you asked. Are you turning down my request now?"
"I'm not. We agreed that when I'm done here, I'll help you steal the Divine Stones. I'm not done yet. This isn't turning down your request, right?" Zhou Shu said. "Besides, Old Shi, your help was quite perfunctory.
"I originally wanted to use your insight to choose the heroes of the world. Old Shi, you saved yourself the trouble and directly cast a large net."
Zhou Shu didn't believe that with Shi Changsheng's experience, he couldn't think of a better way to distribute the hero invitations. But he had used the crudest method to let everyone know about the Hero Conference.
In the end, Zhou Shu had spent several days looking for workers!
At the end of the day, it was because Shi Changsheng had deliberately dug a hole for him. Otherwise, Zhou Shu wouldn't have needed to go through so much trouble.
"Just tell me. Did I help you?" Shi Changsheng pursed his lips. "Didn't the people you wanted to find turn up?"
Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. Be it him or Shi Changsheng, they had a perfunctory attitude toward this cooperation. Both sides wanted to take advantage of each other, and neither of them wanted to settle the matter quickly.
"Old Shi, I'll definitely help you when I'm done forging," Zhou Shu said seriously. "I, Zhou Shu, will keep my word. If I say I will help you, I will definitely help you.
"But we didn't specify a time, right?"
"You…" Shi Changsheng laughed. "I knew you would play such tricks!
"Heh, you're still a little lacking to take advantage of me. Just you wait…"
With that, Shi Changsheng's figure turned into specks of light and disappeared. The Longevity Sword buzzed and flew into the Cosmic Bangle on Zhou Shu's wrist. He still refused to leave.
Shi Changsheng's attitude made Zhou Shu frown.
Zhou Shu wouldn't be surprised if he was angry or even threatened him.
But his current attitude made Zhou Shu feel a little uneasy.
Shi Changsheng didn't look like someone who would keep quiet after suffering a loss. Who knew what abilities this old fellow who had lived for countless years had?
Although what he had just said was not a threat, it was vaguely threatening.
What the hell does he mean? Zhou Shu was a little puzzled, but he knew that even if he asked, Shi Changsheng wouldn't say anything.
Fighting with demons is endless fun. Fighting with weapons is also endless fun. The corners of Zhou Shu's mouth curled up slightly. I can control Bai Qianqian, and the Longevity Sword can't escape my grasp either.
Just you wait!
Zhou Shu's fighting spirit also rose. Even if you, Shi Changsheng, were at your peak, I might not be afraid. Moreover, you're just a sword now!
I'm giving you face. If you really think you can put on airs in front of me, you're wrong.
Putting Shi Changsheng's matter aside, Zhou Shu returned to the Demon Realm Ancestral Court and naturally welcomed Bai Qianqian's complaints.

Zhou Shu's actions made Bai Qianqian feel resentful and helpless, but what else could she do? She couldn't defeat Shi Changsheng.
In that case, she could only submit.
Fortunately, the forging legacy of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain that Shi Changsheng had given her was real.
Otherwise, she would definitely fight him to the death!
"Shi Changsheng, did you go out to rob again?" Bai Qianqian's eyes widened when she saw the forging materials poured out from the Tiger Soul Saber.
Bai Qianqian had seen Shi Changsheng blackmail the Demon Kings and senior Great Demons of the Demon Realm with her own eyes. At the time, she was shocked.
Now that she saw Zhou Shu bring back so many forging materials, her first reaction was that Shi Changsheng had gone out to rob again.
She was envious. There were so many forging materials. If only she could use them all to practice forging, how great would it be?
"What do you mean by rob?" Zhou Shu said angrily. "People gave them to me, okay?"
"People gave them to you?" Bai Qianqian pursed her lips in disdain. Who would believe that? Does he think everyone is a fool? Why would people give you forging materials for no reason?
"Miss Bai…" Zhou Shu raised his hand and sealed the Cosmic Bangle to prevent Shi Changsheng from eavesdropping. Then he said, "Last time, we cooperated very happily. I owe you a favor for what you said about the Divine Stone."
Zhou Shu's lips curled up slightly. "How about we work together again?"
Bai Qianqian was from Shi Changsheng's era, and she would definitely be of great use to guard against him.
Sensing that the Cosmic Bangle was sealed, Shi Changsheng curled his lips in disdain. How can this trap me?
This brat really doesn't care about anything. He doesn't even let go of the divine soul of a demoness. But I don't have the hobby of eavesdropping.
He fell into a deep sleep indifferently.
In the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, Bai Qianqian looked at Zhou Shu in confusion. With her limited intelligence, she didn't quite understand what he meant.
"Shi Changsheng, are you mistaken about something? I'm not your maid. What right do you have to order me around?" Bai Qianqian said angrily.
"No, no." Zhou Shu shook his head. "I'm not instructing you. Now, we're working together to benefit both sides."
Bai Qianqian rolled her eyes. "If I believe you, then I, Bai Qianqian, am a big fool!"
"Miss Bai, you're trapped in the Demon Realm Ancestral Court because you're afraid of becoming a heavenly slave, right? If I say that I have a way for you to travel the world openly, what do you think?" Zhou Shu said calmly.
Bai Qianqian pointed at her face. "Look at me. Do I look like a fool?"
Zhou Shu really wanted to say, Yes!
But he knew that it would agitate Bai Qianqian. He smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't believe me. There's no hurry. If this cooperation doesn't work, let's do it like last time. You help me deal with the forging materials, and I'll teach you forging techniques."
"No problem." Bai Qianqian nodded. She was stunned for a moment before saying, "Do you really have a way for me to travel the world openly?"
"Wouldn't it be easy to expose me if I lied about it?" Zhou Shu smiled.
Bai Qianqian looked a little conflicted. After a while, she couldn't help saying, "If I help you, you have to let me see that you can do it first!"
Zhou Shu's lips curled up slightly. He knew that Bai Qianqian wouldn't be able to refuse.
Only old fellows could deal with old fellows. Although Bai Qianqian didn't seem to have a high IQ, she was from the same era as Shi Changsheng after all. She definitely had many trump cards.
It would be fine if Shi Changsheng didn't go overboard. But if he went overboard, Zhou Shu could definitely use Bai Qianqian to make him suffer.
"Of course." Zhou Shu smiled. "If I'm not wrong, Miss Bai, you're only a divine soul now, right? Is your body still around?"
Bai Qianqian pouted and said after a while, "No!"
"It's good that it's not around anymore," Zhou Shu said.
Bai Qianqian frowned angrily. What do you mean it's good that my body is gone?
Do you really think I don't have a temper?
"Let me tell you. I'm different from others. Even though I gave up my body, I didn't completely escape. As long as I leave the Demon Realm Ancestral Court, I'll immediately be targeted!" Bai Qianqian said. "If you can't help me hide it, don't trick me!"
"Is that so?" Zhou Shu said calmly. "Don't worry. Since I dare to say it, I can definitely do it."
