“Demon King Palace?” Demon King Hu Li’s eyes lit up, and his gaze seemed corporeal.
Zhou Shu was amused.?The Demon King realm is really interesting.
“That’s right, Demon King Hu Li. I’ve seen it. The place you lived before was just a cave.”
Zhou Shu had already returned to Demon King Hu Li’s territory with him.
Hu Li was the leader of the tiger demons, and the place he originally lived was actually not too bad.
But demonic beasts were not as particular as humans. The residence of Hu Li was just a house casually built with stones. It was spacious, but it was not worth mentioning in other aspects.
“You’re a Demon King now. I don’t know what the other demon kings think, but I think your residence has to be worthy of your status.” Zhou Shu pointed at the blueprint. “This is the Demon King Palace that I specially designed for you, Demon King Hu Li. It’s definitely the only one in the Demon Realm.”
On the blueprint was a magnificent palace. Although Zhou Shu’s painting ability was limited, and this blueprint would probably make an expert laugh their heads off, the Demon King was uncultured.
All he saw was the imposing-looking palace.
“Good. This is good!” Hu Li laughed loudly. “This palace is even more imposing than Demon King Ao’s palace. Let’s build according to this! We must build it according to this!”
“It’s best that you’re satisfied, Demon King Hu Li.” Zhou Shu smiled. “But Demon King, this Demon King Palace—”
Hu Li clapped his hands. “If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I’ll solve them!”
Zhou Shu gritted his teeth. “Then, I’ll get straight to the point. The construction of the Demon King Palace is extremely expensive, and I’m afraid the things in your warehouse are not enough.”
“Is that all?” Hu Li laughed loudly. “It’s fine if there aren’t enough things. Although there aren’t many tiger demons, there are at least a thousand of them. I’ll get them to gather the materials.”
“Actually, I have an idea.” Zhou Shu seemed to hesitate. “It’s just that it might affect your dignity, Demon King.”
“Tell me about it first,” Demon King Hu Li said.
“Since you don’t have enough for the construction, I think we can borrow some supplies from other Demon Kings or some rich demons. Then, Demon King Hu Li, you can give them an IOU.
“In any case, with your identity as a Demon King, it’s impossible for you to renege on your debt. With your current identity, I think it won’t take long for you to pay off your debt.”
“I don’t understand these things,” Hu Li said. “Do as you see fit. Tell me what you need me to do.”
“I have to cultivate a divine power in seclusion these few days. When the ceremony takes place, I want to broaden the horizons of all the demonic beasts. You can do as you see fit in my name. As long as you can build the Demon King Palace before the ceremony, you don’t have to worry about the costs, no matter how much it is!”
“I’m relieved to hear that, Demon King.” Zhou Shu smiled. “Demon King, don’t worry. After the Demon King Palace is built, if it’s not the most majestic building in the Demon Realm, then I, Yao Qing, won’t have any objections if you tear off my head!”
…
Thousands of kilometers away from Hu Li’s territory, in a secluded valley, a half-naked humanoid demonic beast cultivating suddenly sneezed twice.
He rubbed his nose in confusion.?Why do I feel cold all over? With my cultivation, I shouldn’t feel this way.
A moment later, Yao Ging pushed his thoughts aside.
I’m about to master this Heavenly Saber Art. After I master it, I’ll defeat Yao Wudi. Then, I’ll be the number one first-rank demonic beast below the Great Demons.
What Yao Qing didn’t know was that while he was still thinking about becoming the number one demon below the Great Demons, his other self had already made all the Great Demons bow down to him.
Zhou Shu sat in the middle while Great Demons sat around him with fawning smiles on their faces.
“Nephew Yao Qing, did you ask us here to talk about the Great Dao?” A Great Demon’s face was all smiles. Who would have thought that this was a Great Demon who could shake the Demon Realm with a stomp of his foot?
“Let’s not talk about the Great Dao for now. We agreed to talk about it during Demon King Hu Li’s advancement ceremony.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “I’ve invited everyone here this time because I have something to ask you for help with.”
“Nephew, you’re treating us like outsiders. What do you mean by helping? Your problem is my problem! You came to me because you think highly of me! If you have anything to say, just say it. I’m not bragging, but there aren’t many things in the Demon Realm that I can’t do!” Another Great Demon patted his chest.
He wasn’t bragging. Great Demons were definitely at the top of the pyramid in the Demon Realm.
The twelve—no, it should be thirteen Demon Kings now, they wouldn’t show their faces under normal circumstances.
In a sense, Great Demons were the strongest demonic beasts in the Demon Realm.
If one had to compare, they were the equivalent of the emperors of the Ten Nations on the Ten Nations Continent but with monstrous strength.
“I’m a little embarrassed to say it.” Zhou Shu smiled. “Aren’t I helping Demon King Hu Li prepare for his ceremony? According to Demon King Hu Li’s request, I want to build a Demon King Palace here.”
“This is a good thing. Nephew, do you need help? I’ll send ten thousand demon beasts over to help,” a Great Demon immediately said.
