Legendary Armament Canon Novel - Chapter 1057
1057 Respecting You as My Father, I Don’t Want to Be the Qingqiu King (2)
“I don’t know how to describe it, but Lord, you also forge divine weapons. You should understand what I mean,” the golden lotus said awkwardly.
Zhou Shu nodded and fell into deep thought.
He didn’t like the idea of divine weapons developing self-awareness. He had always believed that those who were not of his race would have different thoughts. If divine weapons developed self-awareness, it was very likely to bring calamity to the human race.
But it was impossible for one connate divine weapon with consciousness to bring calamity to the human race.
The golden lotus in front of him was very sensible. Zhou Shu no longer had any killing intent toward it. It wasn’t impossible to spare its life.
!!
He said after some thought, “I can give you a body.”
Crack!
The golden lotus seemed extremely excited. Its lotus petals creaked, and its metallic voice was brimming with excitement. “If you can give me a body, you will be my second parent. From now on, I am willing to respect you as my father!”
Zhou Shu’s face darkened. What do you mean?
You want to acknowledge me as your godfather?
Even if you’re willing, I’m not.
“No need,” Zhou Shu said. “It’s not like I don’t have conditions for helping you.”
“I understand. There’s no such thing as a free lunch,” the golden lotus said excitedly. “No matter what you want me to do, I’ll agree!”
It didn’t hesitate at all. To it, having a body was its ultimate dream. Nothing else mattered.
“Remember what you said. From now on, you will stay in the Lingxiao Treasure Palace. Without my permission, you are not allowed to go out,” Zhou Shu said.
“Before I return, if you dare to leave the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, I will make sure you completely disappear from this world. Do you understand?”
“Understood!” the golden lotus said firmly.
Zhou Shu nodded. With a flash, he disappeared into thin air.
The golden lotus spun in the air and seemed to look at its surroundings. Then there was a buzzing sound in the air. The golden lotus carefully flew to a corner of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace. There, the Forging Apprentices of the giant spirit race were practicing their forging.
The golden lotus silently landed on a shelf without attracting the attention of any Forging Apprentices. It just stayed there and seemed as though it was learning to forge.
…
Zhou Shu retracted his aura and flew in the air.
At this moment, if anyone looked up at the sky, they would find that there was no one in the sky.
If one’s cultivation wasn’t high enough, it was impossible to discover Zhou Shu’s figure.
Bai Qianqian had yet to cultivate the Martial Dao, so it was naturally impossible for her to discover that Zhou Shu was following her.
While walking, she cursed Zhou Shu.
Zhou Shu couldn’t help rolling his eyes. I won’t argue with this woman.
He chose to leave the Lingxiao Treasure Palace at this time because he didn’t want the qingqiu race to ruin his plan.
The appearance of Bai Qianqian and the Reincarnation Mirror’s forging formula made him feel uneasy.
Although she had just accidentally obtained the forging formula in the Origin World, and he didn’t find out anything from her and the golden lotus, Zhou Shu couldn’t be at ease until he investigated thoroughly.
Bai Qianqian cursed as she traveled, but she wasn’t slow.
Several days later, she returned to the territory of the qingqiu race.
The qingqiu race lived on a mountain called Qingqiu. The Qingqiu Mountain occupied more than a thousand kilometers and had beautiful scenery.
While following Bai Qianqian, Zhou Shu saw many members of the qingqiu race.
On the surface, the qingqiu race lived very leisurely. Along the way, the members of the qingqiu race he saw were either working or relaxing. None of them were cultivating diligently.
Although the ancient races didn’t have the Martial Dao, they still trained themselves. For example, before the giant spirit race met Zhou Shu, they had relied on throwing stones to train their strength.
On the contrary, the qingqiu race didn’t seem to care much about training.
For such a race to rank in the top 20 of the myriad races in the world, it could only be said that they were talented.
Bai Qianqian walked deep into Qingqiu Mountain and entered a cave.
Zhou Shu followed without hesitation.
“My king, I am back.” Bai Qianqian’s voice sounded in the cave.
An incomparably lazy voice sounded. Zhou Shu, who followed Bai Qianqian into the cave, almost lost his balance and revealed himself.
In the cave, there was a woman wearing translucent gauze, and the vital points on her body were faintly discernible, revealing her body!
What kind of style is this? Zhou Shu couldn’t help taking a few more glances.
Zhou Shu wasn’t Liu Xiahui[1]. How could he pretend not to look at a beauty in front of him?
“How did the discussion go?” the Qingqiu King asked.
“It’s a deal! Bai Qianqian said proudly. “What problems can there be when I personally go?”
“I knew it. With the number one beauty of our qingqiu race personally taking action, which man in the world can refuse?” The Qingqiu King smiled.
Bai Qianqian snorted. She didn’t want to talk about the embarrassing process. That damn man actually rejected me.If I hadn’t given my all, my trip would have been a failure.
Bai Qianqian thought this, but she said, “He agreed to help us forge the Reincarnation Mirror, but we need to prepare the materials ourselves.”
“It’s only right.” The Qingqiu King nodded.
“And that bastard wants two sets!” Bai Qianqian said hatefully.
“Two sets of forging materials mentioned in the forging formula?” The Qingqiu King frowned slightly.
“Other than the Divine Stones, we need to prepare two sets of the other materials,” Bai Qianqian added.
“Apart from the Divine Stones? That’s fine.” The Qingqiu King heaved a sigh of relief.
Her reaction made Zhou Shu’s heart tremble. Does the Qingqiu King know the difference between having Divine Stone and without? Otherwise, she wouldn’t have sighed in relief after hearing this.
But then again, back then, the Bai Ze King, the Golden-Winged Roc King, and the others had destroyed the fire race for a Divine Stone. It was reasonable for Qingqiu King to know how precious Divine Stones were.
“My job is done. I’ll leave the rest to you. I don’t want to deal with that man anymore!” Bai Qianqian said. She wasn’t polite when talking to her king at all.
“What’s wrong? Did that man take advantage of you?” The Qingqiu King smiled.
Bai Qianqian rolled her eyes. “He wouldn’t dare! I’d break his claws!”
She was like an angry kitten, her fur standing on end.
Zhou Shu sneered. Am I someone who has never seen a woman before? Take advantage of her?
He sized up Bai Qianqian and pursed his lips.
“You can’t quit yet.” The Qingqiu King smiled and shook her head. “Only you can get the Divine Stones. If you quit, no one else can do this.
“That’s why you have to work harder to bring the Divine Stones back. I thank you for your hard work for the future of our qingqiu race.”
The Qingqiu King stood up. Her figure was slender, and her peaks rose and fell. As she walked, she looked radiant.
Zhou Shu listened to her continue with an appreciative attitude. “Qianqian, I don’t have much time. The qingqiu race will depend on you. If you can forge the Reincarnation Mirror, you will be able to firmly take the position of the Qingqiu King.
“This is very important. Even if you don’t want to, you have to do it.”
“I don’t want to be the Qingqiu King,” Bai Qianqian muttered.
“If you don’t want to be the king, who will be? You brought back the forging formula of the Reincarnation Mirror. You’re destined to be the Qingqiu King!” the Qingqiu King said solemnly. “Are you willing to watch the qingqiu race be destroyed?”
“It’s not as serious as you make it out to be. If I don’t become the Qingqiu King, will the qingqiu race be destroyed?” Bai Qianqian said in disbelief. “Even if I become the Qingqiu King, I can’t guarantee that the qingqiu race will always exist. If the army of the giant spirit race comes, there’s nothing I can do.”
