713 Two Windfalls, Tough Front (2)

“What do you mean?” Zhou Shu was puzzled.

“How can you be so shameless? You won’t hold it against me? I’m the one who won’t hold it against you, okay?” the woman said angrily. “I was sleeping soundly when you came and woke me up. Who is the one who is rude?

“Do your parents know that you’re twisting the truth?”

The woman said a lot. She looked angry and aggrieved. Who did I offend? Shi Changsheng is too shameless!

“Well, it’s a long story. I didn’t expect you to be sleeping here, did I?” Zhou Shu said. “But you’re already awake. It’s useless to say all this. At most, I will owe you a favor.”

“Hmph, I can’t trust you.” The woman’s expression softened slightly as she harrumphed coldly. “As long as you scram far away and don’t appear in front of me again, I’ll be satisfied. I can’t afford your favor!”

“It’s up to you.” Zhou Shu shrugged. “You…”

He whispered something, then looked at the woman. “After this small matter is done, I will definitely not bother you anymore.”

The woman had a strange expression on her face. She looked at Zhou Shu and said, “You want to make use of Pixiu and send him to die on your behalf?”

“Let’s not talk about whether we can fool those Demon Kings or not. Alright, it’s not difficult to fool them. But do you know Pixiu’s origin? If he dies, aren’t you afraid that the old dragon will find trouble with you when he wakes up?” The woman stared straight at Zhou Shu.

Zhou Shu’s expression didn’t change, but his heart skipped a beat.

Old dragon? This woman’s words revealed a lot of information.

The old dragon she’s talking about should be Pixiu’s father, right?

He should also be a peerless expert. Is he also sleeping?

This is interesting. Can it be that a group of experts has been sleeping for some reason? But now, for some reason, they have woken up one by one. This is also why Earth Immortal experts have appeared on the Ten Nations Continent. Is this also the case for Pixiu in the Demon Realm?

Shi Changsheng should know what secrets there were, so this woman didn’t elaborate.

Zhou Shu couldn’t ask too many questions and could only pretend to understand everything.

“What am I afraid of? I didn’t kill Pixiu,” Zhou Shu said calmly.

“What a joke. Do you think that old dragon will believe that a few low-level Demon Kings can kill Pixiu?” The woman sneered.

Zhou Shu laughed. “So what? I’m not afraid of him.”

The woman nodded slightly in agreement. “That’s true. He might not dare to find trouble with you. Anyway, he has many sons. Even if one or two of them die, he won’t fight you to the death.”

Zhou Shu had a deeper understanding of Shi Changsheng’s strength. Although this woman didn’t seem to like Shi Changsheng, her evaluation of him was still very high.

Needless to say, the old dragon she was talking about was definitely a peerless, mighty demon. Even if his son was killed, he wouldn’t dare to find trouble with Shi Changsheng.

It was obvious that Shi Changsheng’s peak strength was definitely not weaker than the old dragon. He might even be stronger.

“Alright, cut the crap. Are you going to help or not?” Zhou Shu said casually.

“If I don’t help, will you get lost?” The woman rolled her eyes angrily.

Zhou Shu smiled. He picked up Pixiu and shook his arm, shaking out the things in his Grotto-Heaven.

The woman’s eyes widened. Even though she was just a virtual image and didn’t need to breathe, she still took a deep breath.

“Shi Changsheng! I’ve changed my mind!” the woman suddenly said. “I want your favor!”

“What?” Zhou Shu was puzzled.

“Didn’t you just say that you owe me a favor?” the woman said quickly. “I want this favor, and I want you to return it now! I want half of what’s here!”

She pointed at the heaven and earth treasures that Zhou Shu had just poured out of Pixiu’s grotto-heaven, her eyes terrifyingly bright.

“You want these?” Zhou Shu frowned.

He didn’t expect that the woman wasn’t tempted by the ransom just now. Instead, she was tempted by the collection in Pixiu’s Grotto-Heaven.

To be honest, the value might exceed the ransom, but the quantity was still slightly inferior.

To those who didn’t know what was going on, it might not even be as good as the ransom paid by the dozens of Great Demons.

But this woman seemed to know her stuff. Could there be something special in Pixiu’s collection that attracted her attention?

“Half! I only want half!” the woman said. “Give me half, and I’ll help you settle the matter. From now on, we’re even!”

“That’s impossible.” Zhou Shu refused without hesitation. “What you helped me do isn’t worth so much.”

“Why not?” the woman said. “Do you know how much risk I took to help you? If Pixiu dies here, no matter how I explain it, there will be endless trouble in the future. I’m already being very kind by only taking half!”

“There’s no room for discussion.” Zhou Shu shook his head. “Even though I owe you a favor, I can’t give you half.”

Zhou Shu said firmly, “I owe you a favor, and I will definitely repay you in the future, but I can’t use them to repay you.”

What a joke. What did the favor Shi Changsheng owe have anything to do with him? Why should he use his things to repay Shi Changsheng’s favor?

“You…” the woman said angrily. “A third. I want a third, okay?”

“There’s no room for discussion. I will definitely return the favor, but these things are useful to me, so I can’t give you anything.” Zhou Shu shook his head.

“You bastard!” the woman cursed.

Zhou Shu’s expression was calm. “Why don’t you tell me what made you so excited? Then, I might consider giving it to you.”

“It’s nothing!” the woman said bluntly. “I like many things. If you can take them, why can’t I?”

“Forget it if you don’t want to tell me,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “Everything here is mine. Don’t have any ideas.”

“You…”

“Unless you want to fight me,” Zhou Shu continued calmly, “you have to think carefully. I am indeed not at my peak, but you’re the same. If we really fight, I won’t hold back. If you don’t grasp it well, you’ll be the one to suffer in the end.”

The woman widened her eyes and glared at Zhou Shu. After a long time, she lowered her head like a defeated hen and said unhappily, “You win!

“I don’t want anything else, but give me this. Give it to me, and I’ll help you deal with Pixiu.”

The woman said with hatred, “Otherwise, even if I die, I will definitely not help you anymore!”

Zhou Shu was secretly happy. This woman is very interesting. She keeps talking about fighting to the death, but she is extremely cowardly. She only dares to move her mouth and doesn’t dare to attack.

“This?” The corners of Zhou Shu’s mouth curled up slightly. From the pile of heaven and earth treasures, he followed the direction the woman was pointing and took out something the size of a human head.

There were some materials in Pixiu’s collection that even Zhou Shu couldn’t identify. This stone happened to be one of the things he didn’t know.

“That’s right.” Although the woman was trying her best to hide it, her acting was really a little bad. She couldn’t hide the excitement in her eyes.

Zhou Shu’s heart skipped a beat. Although this woman is a little timid, she’s an existence from Shi Changsheng’s era. Moreover, she knows Shi Changsheng. How could she be an ordinary person?

Something that can make her so excited is definitely extraordinary.

“Unfortunately, I have great use for it.” Zhou Shu shook his head. Although he couldn’t recognize it now, since he knew that it was extraordinary, he naturally couldn’t give it to the woman.

“Shi Changsheng! You’re human. What do you need it for?” The woman was furious. “You have to give it to me today, or… or else I’ll fight you to the death!”
