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

After light flashed on Zhou Shu’s body, his figure and appearance changed drastically.

The originally scarlet eyes became black and white again.

His aura had also changed drastically.

If he hadn’t 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 didn’t 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 supreme ability Myriad Transformations was very magical, it had a flaw—it 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 wouldn’t be seen by the demons, and second, he needed to find a safe place for him to transform.

“Surely now you’re thoroughly convinced,” Zhou Shu said. “You’re from Great Xia, and I’m also from Great Xia. Speaking of which, I’m the King of the South of Great Xia.”

“Great Xia doesn’t have such a title!” 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 wasn’t even born twenty years ago. Of course, the title didn’t exist then,” Zhou Shu said casually.

Zhang Chunlin frowned. “You’re not even twenty? How can you be made a king at your age?”

He didn’t believe it. He now believed that Zhou Shu was human, but he didn’t 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, it’s up to you.” Zhou Shu couldn’t be bothered to explain too much. “It’s fine as long as you know that I’m a human.

“I need your cooperation to do something now.”

Zhou Shu continued, “Now I’m helping Demon King Hu Li of the Demon Realm to build a Demon King Palace—”

“Why?” Zhang Chunlin asked.

“There’s no reason,” Zhou Shu said. “If I don’t 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 hadn’t 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 Division’s system was extremely unreasonable. It was simply comparable to a sweatshop.

It hadn’t been long since Yin Wuyou became the grand minister of the Forging Division. The bad practices definitely didn’t 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 I’m naturally familiar with him,” Zhang Chunlin said.

“Hmph. I guess you’re not that good yourself.” Zhou Shu snorted. “If we weren’t in the Demon Realm, I would have thrown you to the demonic beasts.”

“What do you mean?” Zhang Chunlin’s face darkened.

Although he was temporarily working with Zhou Shu, he wasn’t afraid of him. He had already endured twenty years of torture. What was there to be afraid of?

“I can’t be bothered to tell you.” Zhou Shu said. “Don’t play tricks in front of me like you did in the Great Xia Forging Division. Otherwise, don’t 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 didn’t know why this person’s attitude changed when he heard that he had been the grand minister of the Great Xia Forging Division.

“They’re dead,” Zhou Shu said coldly. “Cut the crap and start working. Since you’ve been the grand minister of the Forging Division, you should be more familiar with the forging process.”

“Crap! 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.

“That’s even better.”

Zhang Chunlin didn’t see any shock on Zhou Shu’s face. He only saw a flash of light on Zhou Shu’s body as he transformed back into a demonic beast. Then he walked out. As he walked, he said, “Since you’re a Grand Craftsman, I don’t have to find anyone else to refine the forging materials. Take care of it for me.”
