#372 - Chapter 371 My bank card number is...
“Li Chenqiu, our patience is limited.”
A tall figure emerged from the shadows, stopping in front of Li Chenqiu with his back turned. He took a realistic-looking key from his pocket and said coldly, “Tell me, what is this key for?”
Li Chenqiu raised his head and said through gritted teeth, “You’re dreaming. I will never betray the Northern Federation. You damned Resurrectors will all be purged sooner or later!”
The middle-aged man, played by Xiang Nanzhi, raised his foot and stomped hard on Li Chenqiu’s chest.
Bang!
“Ah—”
Li Chenqiu’s forehead veins bulged, his body arched like a shrimp, and blood flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.
Xiang Nanzhi leaned forward slightly, rubbing his toe back and forth on the iron chain, pretending to exert a lot of force, and said, “Stubborn fool, are you sure you won’t talk?”
Li Chenqiu glared angrily: “No!”
“Heh heh heh.” Xiang Nanzhi revealed a look of disdain, squatted down, and reached out to grab Li Chenqiu’s neck: “Letting you talk willingly is for your own good. Do you think I can’t do anything to you if you’re tight-lipped?”
The corners of Li Chenqiu’s mouth curled up slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice, “Use whatever means you have, don’t just talk.”
Xiang Nanzhi’s eyes flashed coldly: “Li Ji and Li Qingxia, those two names, you’re very familiar with them, aren’t you!”
As soon as he said this, Li Chenqiu’s pupils dilated at a visible speed, and he stammered, “You… what do you want to do?”
Xiang Nanzhi looked playful: “What do you think I want to do? If you still don’t plan to talk, I can only inflict… death upon them, hahaha!”
“Bastard!!!”
Li Chenqiu shouted, trying to struggle to get up from the ground, but was firmly pinned down by Xiang Nanzhi.
“Last time, talk or not?”
“I… I’ll talk.”
…
“Lu Xian told me all of this through the Shadow Recording Pearl.”
“Click!”
The voice of the Northern Underworld Emperor sounded from the shadows.
“Phew~~~~”
Xiang Nanzhi breathed a long sigh of relief, straightened his back, waved his hand and cut the iron chains that bound Li Chenqiu, and reached out to pull Li Chenqiu up from the ground.
At the same time, the four men and women standing aside disappeared into thin air like bubbles.
The Northern Underworld Emperor walked out of the shadows holding the Shadow Recording Pearl, and said with surprise:
“King Chujiang, your acting skills are amazing. That angry but powerless look just now was so impactful. Have you studied acting before?”
Li Chenqiu smiled modestly: “It’s all because Thousand Faces gave enough pressure, otherwise my emotions wouldn’t come out.”
Xiang Nanzhi said as a matter of course: “That’s natural.”
The Northern Underworld Emperor stepped forward and patted the two on the shoulders, and said with relief: “With you guys around, the banner of the Underworld’s prestige is finally no longer carried by me alone. Work hard, let’s work together!”
“Um… I will definitely live up to the Emperor’s expectations.”
“Me… me too, I will definitely work hard to raise the Underworld’s prestige.” Li Chenqiu said pretending to be excited.
The Northern Underworld Emperor nodded in satisfaction: “Very good!”
“Emperor, I have a question.” Li Chenqiu raised his hand: “Are you planning to give this Shadow Recording Pearl directly to the Northern Federation?”
“Am I a fool? Giving it directly would make it clear that the Underworld is whitewashing you, wouldn’t it?” The Northern Underworld Emperor tossed the Shadow Recording Pearl in his hand, and continued:
“Didn’t I say before that I would put the hidden things of the Southern Federation into the auction as an auction item? This Shadow Recording Pearl is that auction item.”
Li Chenqiu frowned slightly: “But… if it’s used as an auction item, isn’t there too much uncertainty? What if this Shadow Recording Pearl ends up in the hands of the Southern Federation’s three major consortia, wouldn’t that be…”
The Northern Underworld Emperor smiled faintly: “Don’t worry, I’ve already considered this. I won’t let the Southern Federation get it.”
Li Chenqiu nodded: “Then I’m relieved.”
“By the way.” The Northern Underworld Emperor pointed to the corpses outside the cave: “You don’t need these corpses either. Don’t let the fertile water flow into other people’s fields. Do you want to sell them to the Underworld?”
Li Chenqiu hurriedly agreed: “Of course, I originally planned to give these corpses to the Underworld.”
These corpses of Heavenly Chosen can only be sold to Resurrectors. He could only think of the Underworld and the New World as being able to swallow ten or more Forbidden Heavenly Chosen in one go.
It was obvious who he would sell to.
“You have a heart.”
The Northern Underworld Emperor waved his hand lightly, and the corpses at the door disappeared strangely.
Li Chenqiu said happily: “Emperor, my bank card number is 712…”
“Bank card number?” The Northern Underworld Emperor frowned in surprise: “What are you telling me this for?”
“Ah?” Li Chenqiu’s expression froze: “You… aren’t you going to buy them from me?”
Xiang Nanzhi, who was standing aside, couldn’t help but lower his head and snicker when he heard this, without any intention of reminding him.
“You… hehe.” The Northern Underworld Emperor was amused and laughed: “Who told you I was going to buy them with money?”
Li Chenqiu’s Adam’s apple rolled slightly, and he asked tentatively, “You want to whi…”
Slap!
Xiang Nanzhi slapped the back of Li Chenqiu’s head: “Is your brain really broken? Can Forbidden Heavenly Chosen be bought with Federal currency?”
Li Chenqiu scratched his head and said with a puzzled look, “If you don’t use money, then what do you use to buy them?”
The Northern Underworld Emperor said speechlessly: “Generally, you exchange them for things of equal value.”
As he said that, he took out a small wooden sculpture of a human figure from his arms and handed it to Li Chenqiu: “Take it!”
Li Chenqiu took the wooden sculpture, and just as he was about to say something, Xiang Nanzhi exclaimed from the side.
“Shadow Locust Body!”
The Northern Underworld Emperor said in surprise: “Oh, you even know this!”
“I heard my father mention it. Are you planning to give this profound weapon to Li Chenqiu?”
The Northern Underworld Emperor said indifferently: “It’s useless to keep it anyway, might as well give it away.”
Listening to the conversation between the two, Li Chenqiu instantly realized that this wooden sculpture was an extraordinary profound weapon.
“Shadow Locust Body?” Li Chenqiu muttered to himself, taking the wooden sculpture to his eyes and carefully examining it, but he didn’t find anything strange about it.
“Emperor, what is the use of this Shadow Locust Body…”
The Northern Underworld Emperor shifted his gaze to Li Chenqiu and explained: “Do you know shadow puppetry?”
“Shadow puppetry?” Li Chenqiu nodded thoughtfully: “I know a little.”
“This profound weapon is similar to shadow puppetry.” The Northern Underworld Emperor pointed to the Shadow Locust Body and said: “The Shadow Locust Body can be transformed into a soulless human shell. You can completely control this shell, which is equivalent to the shadow puppet in shadow puppetry.”
Li Chenqiu tapped the Shadow Locust Body with his finger: “A puppet?”
Before the Northern Underworld Emperor could speak, the erudite master Xiang Nanzhi pushed up his glasses and jumped out impatiently: “Hmph hmph hmph, you underestimate the Shadow Locust Body too much. It’s more than just a puppet.
If you were to use Federal currency to measure the value of the Shadow Locust Body, I can only think of four words—priceless treasure!”
