Chapter 627: Naming, The Longevity Sword’s Compensation (2)

Now that their food had been exhausted, the little girl sat there again, blinking her big watery eyes, looking pitifully at Zhou Shu.

Under such circumstances, how could he forge in peace?

I’ll stop here temporarily for now. It’s been almost two days. I wonder if Demon King Ao and Tiangou have left.

Zhou Shu got the little girl to put the few connate divine weapons he had forged into her grotto-heaven.

He was worried that after leaving Yuheng Valley, these connate divine weapons would attract a heavenly tribulation. If Yuheng Valley had the effect of isolating the heavenly tribulation, the little girl’s grotto-heaven should also have it.

Even if Demon King Ao, Tiangou, and Liu’Er haven’t left, there’s no need to worry.

Zhou Shu looked at the little girl. “I’ll bring you home later. If someone wants to hit me, what should you do?”

“Then I’ll beat them to death!” The little girl waved her fists fiercely.

“Alright, I didn’t dote on you in vain.” Zhou Shu pinched the little girl’s chubby face. “Shall I give you a name?”

“Okay.” The little girl had no concept of names, but she would agree to whatever Zhou Shu said.

“This is Yuheng Valley. I’ll name you Xiaoyu’er,” Zhou Shu said casually.

“Okay, I’ll be called Xiaoyu’er from now on.” The little girl clapped her hands.

“Daddy, what’s your name?” She looked up at Zhou Shu curiously.

“My name is Zhou Shu,” he said.

“Daddy’s surname is Zhou. Then, should my name be Zhou Xiaoyu?” Xiaoyu’er said seriously.

“Sure.” Zhou Shu regretted teaching Xiaoyu’er some general knowledge in his free time over the past two years.

“Let’s go home!” Zhou Shu threw Xiaoyu’er over his shoulder and walked toward the entrance of Yuheng Valley.

Xiaoyu’er sat on Zhou Shu’s shoulder, her calves swinging as she giggled. “Let’s go home!”

…

Outside Yuheng Valley, waves rippled at the entrance as Zhou Shu and Xiaoyu’er appeared out of thin air.

Demon King Ao, Tiangou, and the others had already disappeared. But outside the valley, there was a sword floating alone in the air, swaying back and forth like a somewhat anxious person pacing back and forth.

Just as Zhou Shu appeared, a light suddenly flashed on the sword, and an illusory figure appeared on the sword.

“Young fellow, you didn’t die?” Shi Changsheng exclaimed in surprise.

The next moment, his gaze landed on Xiaoyu’er on Zhou Shu’s shoulder.

“Not only are you not dead, but you even took the time to have a child? Are there women in Yuheng Valley? Why don’t I see any?”

Zhou Shu was speechless. What do you mean by taking the time to have a child?

He couldn’t be bothered to explain to Shi Changsheng. “Her name is Xiaoyu’er. Elder Shi, you’re a little indifferent. You ran away by yourself at the sight of danger.”

“You can’t blame me for that. I told you in advance.” Shi Changsheng didn’t feel guilty at all. “If I had stayed in Yuheng Valley, I would probably be a dead sword now. The Heaven and Earth Furnace is my nemesis.

“Speaking of which, how did you survive? The Heaven and Earth Furnace can refine anything. With your cultivation, you should be dead for sure.”

Shi Changsheng sized up Zhou Shu curiously.

“I was lucky. The Heaven and Earth Furnace you mentioned suddenly collapsed on its own.” Zhou Shu said.

“It collapsed on its own?” Shi Changsheng was stunned for a moment before saying in frustration, “That’s right. Surnamed Diao is already dead. How can the Heaven and Earth Furnace be intact? What a loss!

“Little Zhou, you must have made a fortune, right?” Shi Changsheng stared at Zhou Shu. “If I had stayed, half of the things in Yuheng Valley would have been mine!”

Zhou Shu kept staring at Shi Changsheng. Although Shi Changsheng saw Xiaoyu’er, his reaction looked as if he didn’t know Xiaoyu’er at all.

If Xiaoyu’er was really the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, with Shi Changsheng’s familiarity with the master of the Red Water Heaven of Dan Mountain, he should have some reaction.

From the looks of it, Shi Changsheng didn’t feel that Xiaoyu’er was familiar at all.

“I didn’t make a fortune,” Zhou Shu said casually, “Elder Shi, you’re wrong. There are no burial objects in Yuheng Valley at all. Some of them have become useless over time.”

“Become useless? That shouldn’t be the case,” Shi Changsheng said doubtfully.

Puu puu!

Shi Changsheng’s figure suddenly disappeared into the air like a bubble being popped.

Zhou Shu was stunned. He turned to look at Xiaoyu’er, who was sitting on his shoulder.

One of Xiaoyu’er’s fingers was still in the air. She looked like she had done something wrong. “Daddy, I didn’t mean to…”

Just now, she had been curious and couldn’t help poking Shi Changsheng with her finger. In the end…

“Elder Shi, are you alright?” Zhou Shu was somewhat speechless. He called out to the Longevity Sword in his consciousness.

“What do you think?! Try getting poked by someone!” Shi Changsheng’s annoyed voice sounded in Zhou Shu’s consciousness. This time, he didn’t transform. “What kind of freak did you give birth to? Why can she touch me?”

Shi Changsheng’s figure was formed from consciousness and was illusory. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people could only see him and not touch him.

But was Xiaoyu’er an ordinary person? She was a Grotto-Heaven martial artist, an existence whose soul could manifest.

The figure Shi Changsheng had transformed into was ultimately the power of his soul, so Xiaoyu’er could naturally touch him.

“Little fellow, let me tell you. I suffered a huge blow this time. If you don’t compensate me, I won’t let you off!” Shi Changsheng’s voice shouted in Zhou Shu’s consciousness.

Just from his energetic clamor, Zhou Shu knew that he was fine.

“Elder Shi, how do you want me to compensate you?” Zhou Shu replied with a smile.

“A few million kilograms worth of heaven and earth treasures, and I won’t cut ties with you,” Shi Changsheng said.

“Then you’d better cut ties with me. Our friendship isn’t worth that much,” Zhou Shu said bluntly.

“Don’t. If a few million kilograms won’t do, a few hundred thousand kilograms will do,” Shi Changsheng said.

“Let’s cut ties!”

“Tens of thousands of kilograms! No less! Your little girl really hurt me! Zhou Shu, we’ve been through thick and thin together. You can’t be so heartless! You just made a fortune in Yuheng Valley. Is this how you treat your old friend?!” Shi Changsheng shouted. “My Longevity Sword has contributed to the human race and shed blood!”

“Stop!” Zhou Shu said in his consciousness. “If you want compensation, sure. But you have to help me do something.”

“Compensate me first. I’ll charge for the other things separately later!” Shi Changsheng bargained.

“Alright then. Return what I gave you in Yuheng Valley first. I asked you to guard me, yet you ran faster than anyone!”

“Didn’t I stay here and prepare to help you collect your corpse in a few days? I, Shi Changsheng, am conscientious. I definitely won’t take your things for free. You can’t blame me if you didn’t die,” Shi Changsheng muttered.

Zhou Shu rolled his eyes. So, you’re saying you couldn’t do your job because I didn’t die?

“If you don’t want to, then forget it,” Zhou Shu said. “There’s no compensation.”

“Young man, why are you so irritable? Why can’t we talk nicely?” Shi Changsheng said. “If the price I’m asking is too high, you can just counteroffer.”

“Tell me first. How much are you compensating me? Let me see if it’s worth it.”

Zhou Shu’s lips curled up slightly. He had long expected this outcome.

When dealing with these old foxes, he couldn’t be led by the nose. He had to take the initiative.

If you want heaven and earth treasures, you have to listen to me obediently!
