“Yes, I’m overthinking,” Yao Jun hurriedly said. “I’ll wait nearby. If there’s anything, just call me, Lord.”
Yao Jun looked completely like a lackey as he obeyed Zhou Shu.
After Yao Jun left, Zhou Shu’s gaze landed on Zhang Chunlin again.
“What is your name?” Zhou Shu asked coldly with his hands behind his back.
Zhang Chunlin looked up at him. When he saw the scarlet eyes, hatred flashed in his eyes.
“My name is Zhang Chunlin. If you have the ability, kill me!” Zhang Chunlin spat.
Zhou Shu dodged. He wasn’t angry. Instead, he nodded slightly inwardly.
Although he looked a little disheveled, he was still energetic and much stronger than the other human captives.
“From now on, these people are yours to command,” Zhou Shu said calmly.
“You want me to join the demon race? To be your lackey?” Zhang Chunlin was furious. “In your dreams!
“Even if I, Zhang Chunlin, die ten thousand times, I will never listen to your orders!”
Zhou Shu’s words also made hatred flash in the eyes of the lifeless human captives.
If they were willing to surrender to the demons, they would have surrendered long ago.
Their only belief in life was that they would never bow down to demonic beasts!
Zhou Shu’s words were an insult to their last faith.
Zhou Shu’s lips curled up slightly. “A wise man submits to circumstances. A good bird chooses a tree to perch on—”
Pui!
Zhang Chunlin cursed angrily, “Do you think you’ll look like a human just because you’ve learned a few words of human language? Unfortunately, you can’t learn it! You haven’t learned how to look like a human, and your beastly nature is deeply rooted!
“You evil demonic beasts are not worthy of being human! You’re not human either!”
Zhou Shu’s expression was indifferent as he allowed Zhang Chunlin to insult him.
After a long time, Zhang Chunlin was tired from cursing and panting.
“You still have the strength to curse. It doesn’t seem like you’ll die soon,” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “Since you’re not dying, you have to work. Get up.”
“You…” Zhang Chunlin was so angry that his entire body was trembling. This was the first time he had seen such a demonic beast. He had already scolded it to this extent.?Aren’t you angry? Shouldn’t you be furious and beat me to death?
He was so intent on dying that he had almost poured out all the curses he could think of. He had cursed happily and vented most of his anger. He felt much refreshed.
It would be nice if he could go on his way.
Unexpectedly, this willful demonic beast in front of him was not angry at all. He was still instructing him.
Does he not know what I’m saying?
I said I’d rather die than take orders from him!
“Just kill me. We humans will never be slaves!” Zhang Chunlin glared at Zhou Shu. Banging sounds came from his body as he tried to break through the restrictions in his body, wanting to die heroically.
“What nation are you from?” Zhou Shu suddenly said.
“Great Xia’s Zhang Chunlin. Demonic beast, die!” Zhang Chunlin roared and slammed into Zhou Shu.
Thump!
Zhou Shu only raised his hand and pressed Zhang Chunlin to the ground. No matter how he struggled, he couldn’t move at all.
“Great Xia? What a coincidence.” Zhou Shu raised his hand, and a light enveloped him and Zhang Chunlin.
The captives all felt a sharp pain in their eyes and couldn’t see anything for a moment.
An invisible force spread out. Even the sound seemed to disappear from the world.
Yao Jun, who was waiting nearby, grimaced slightly. He raised his foot automatically but then lowered it again a moment later.
I should trust Lord Yao Qing. Even if these human captives were at their peak, they wouldn’t be able to hurt Lord Yao Qing. Furthermore, they’re merely half-dead.
They’re a bunch of trash. Even I can easily suppress them, let alone Lord Yao Qing.
The aura fluctuation calmed down in the blink of an eye.
As expected, Lord Yao Qing can easily suppress these humans.
I’m indeed overthinking.
Zhou Shu stood still with his hands behind his back. Zhang Chunlin was stunned.
After 15 minutes, he gritted his teeth, bowed deeply, and said in a deep voice, “Zhang Chunlin, at your command!”
As soon as he said this, all the human captives’ expressions changed drastically.
“Zhang Chunlin, you bastard! You actually defected to the demons. You’re simply the shame of the human race!”
The human captives cursed almost simultaneously.
Zhang Chunlin’s expression was complicated as he looked at Zhou Shu for help.
“I’ll leave it to you. I don’t care what you do to make them behave,” Zhou Shu said coldly. “Don’t say what you shouldn’t say.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Zhou Shu left, and the human captives were still cursing. Zhang Chunlin shouted angrily, “Shut up!”
“Zhang Chunlin, you actually became a lackey of a demonic beast. You’re not worthy of being a human! You want us to collude with you? Dream on!”
The human captive cursed and struggled to attack Zhang Chunlin.
Zhang Chunlin was embarrassed and angry.?A bunch of brainless fellows!
A powerful aura erupted from his body. Amid the banging sounds, he suppressed all the human captives, who were already half-dead.
Zhang Chunlin had actually recovered his cultivation!
“You bunch of bastards, if you want to live, listen to me!” Zhang Chunlin cursed.
“In your dreams! Kill us if you have the ability! Even if I die and turn into a ghost, I will never let a traitor like you and those demon bastards off!”
The human captives cursed.
“You only know how to scold. If you could scold demonic beasts to death, that would save me a lot of trouble!” Zhang Chunlin said angrily. “Do you think I don’t want to kill those bastard demonic beasts? It’s easy to die. You can die now!
“But if you’re alive, there is hope for revenge! There is hope to protect our home!
“If you’re just cowards who want to die, then I, Zhang Chunlin, have nothing to say. I can personally send you on your way to let you avoid suffering the insults of demonic beasts!
“But if you believe me, wait for a chance to take revenge like a man and listen to me!
“I swear on the reputation of my ancestors that I am definitely not a lackey of the demonic beasts! One day, you will know I’m innocent!”
Zhang Chunlin roared with a fierce expression.
The human captives were stunned by his reaction.
He didn’t look like he was faking it.
“Zhang Chunlin, what do you mean?! What did that demonic beast ask you to do?!” A human captive growled.
Zhang Chunlin lowered his voice and said, “There will be no harm done to the human race for what we have to do. I guarantee this with my life.”
The captives discussed in low voices for a moment, then gritted their teeth.
“We can trust you once. But once we discover that you’ve done anything to harm the human race, we’ll never let you off!”
“If you dare to lie to us, we will definitely not let you off even if we turn into ghosts!”
“Don’t worry. I didn’t endure the torture of demonic beasts for twenty years to be their lackey!” Zhang Chunlin said solemnly.
“What I want is for the human race not to have to worry about the threat of the Demon Realm one day! If I were willing to surrender to the demonic beasts, I wouldn’t have waited until today. Even if it’s to prevent me from suffering in vain for the past twenty years, I definitely won’t join the demon race!
“I will not betray your trust, and I hope he will not betray mine!”
Zhang Chunlin looked up in a direction with a ferocious expression. This time, he was gambling everything. He only hoped that he didn’t bet wrong!
If he made the wrong bet, his reputation would really be gone. Even if he died ten thousand times, he wouldn’t be able to prove his innocence.
