1252 Using Money to Buy Your Life, A Worker Obsession (2)
The wings were not corporeal. After falling to the ground, they turned into specks of starlight and quickly disappeared.
But Mu Zhixing’s injuries were genuine.
Lying on the ground, he struggled to get up as blood flowed uncontrollably from the corner of his mouth.
His eyes were full of fear.
Only now did he realize that Zhou Shu wasn’t joking with him.
Zhou Shu could really kill him.
Mu Zhixing couldn’t remember how many years it had been since he had faced such a life-and-death crisis.
In fact, he had followed the Eastern Celestial Thearch for many years, and there were only a few times when he really faced a life-and-death crisis.
In his memory, this was the first time he had been in such a sorry state.
This made him ashamed and angry. He wished he could find a hole to hide in.
At this moment, Zhou Shu took a step forward and arrived ten meters in front of him. He slowly raised the Celestial Thearch Sword.
“Wait!” Mu Zhixing shouted. This shout aggravated his injuries. He opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, completely dyeing his clothes red.
Mu Zhixing raised his hands weakly. “Wait, let’s talk things over. We’re not enemies. We really don’t have to fight to the death!”
“Fight to the death? Are you sure you’ll be able to fight against me?” Zhou Shu said coldly as he slowly raised the Celestial Thearch Sword.
It was as if he would attack again in the next moment.
Mu Zhixing was anxious. Even in his peak state, he couldn’t withstand a single strike from his opponent, let alone now that he was injured!
If the other party attacked with the sword again, he would definitely die.
Mu Zhixing didn’t want to die in such a remote place!
No, he, Mu Zhixing, didn’t want to die anywhere. He didn’t want to die!
“I have the mark of the Eastern Celestial Thearch on me. If I die, I will activate the mark. At that time, the power of the Eastern Celestial Thearch will descend and avenge me!” Mu Zhixing said quickly.
“Although you’re strong, you’re definitely not the Eastern Celestial Thearch’s match. Even if you kill me, you’ll definitely die later.
“Instead of perishing together, we might as well negotiate!”
Mu Zhixing was afraid that Zhou Shu would attack, so he spoke very quickly. He couldn’t even speak clearly.
“If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? I already reminded you.” Zhou Shu said coldly. “I’ll give you a chance. If you can’t convince me in three sentences, then you can only hope that you can survive under my sword.”
Mu Zhixing cursed as he watched Zhou Shu’s sword begin to acc.u.mulate power. I’ve already made it clear. If I die, the Eastern Celestial Thearch will avenge me. At that time, you will definitely die. Don’t you understand?
If you kill me, you’ll have to die with me. What good will that do you?
He cursed in his heart, but he didn’t dare to hesitate. “I have no irreconcilable grudge with you!”
“The first sentence,” Zhou Shu said coldly.
Mu Zhixing cursed again in his heart, but he didn’t dare to say anything else. “I admit defeat. I’ll use money to buy my life!”
He went straight to the point.
Seeing Zhou Shu’s sword stop, Mu Zhixing heaved a sigh of relief.
As expected, this method was universal no matter where it was.
That’s right. They had the same origins…
“What do you want to buy your life with?” Zhou Shu said indifferently. “You’re a vanguard general under the Eastern Celestial Thearch. What a great reputation. Your life should be quite valuable, right?”
Zhou Shu didn’t know who the Eastern Celestial Thearch was, nor did he know what it meant to be a vanguard general of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom.
But since Mu Zhixing proudly introduced himself, Zhou Shu would treat him as a big shot.
Mu Zhixing wanted to swear at Zhou Shu. How should I answer this question?
Should I say that I’m valuable? Or not?
Although I might be able to save some money if I say I’m worthless, it will be embarra.s.sing.
If I’m worthless, doesn’t that mean I’m a n.o.body?
I, Mu Zhixing, am the Eastern Celestial Thearch’s vanguard general!
But if I say that I’m valuable, won’t I have to pay more?
This was a loss.
Mu Zhixing had never encountered such a complicated matter before. “I…”
“I advise you to think about it first,” Zhou Shu said coldly. “If it’s just some benefits, it’s not as satisfying as making me feel good. I’ll feel very good after killing you.”
Mu Zhixing: “…”
What do you mean?
I can’t lose face even if I want to?
Must my life be valuable?
Where did this guy come from?
How can there be such a strange person in this world?
d.a.m.n the Xuan Ming Heavenly Kingdom. Why didn’t they discover such important news?
Isn’t this a scam?
Mu Zhixing cursed in his heart, but he didn’t dare to risk his life.
He still had a bright future ahead of him. He couldn’t die now.
He had come here to obtain the Freedom Transformation Technique and become stronger, not to die.
“I came in a hurry this time and didn’t bring many good things with me,” Mu Zhixing said. “But don’t worry. I’m the Eastern Celestial Thearch’s vanguard general Mu Zhixing. My life is very valuable!
“If I don’t have enough money with me, I’ll definitely make it up to you when I return!”
In any case, this isn’t the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. No one from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom will know what happened here. So what if I lose face? Mu Zhixing thought. Surviving is the most important thing. Who will know what I experience here?
In the future, when I find an opportunity, I will call my brothers to kill this b.a.s.t.a.r.d. Then this humiliation will naturally be washed away.
“I don’t know where the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom is. Do you think I’ll let you go just like that?” Zhou Shu said coldly.
“Since you know your place, I’ll give you another chance. Since what you have is not enough to buy your life, work for me. When you’ve earned enough to redeem your life, I’ll naturally let you go.”
“Work?” Mu Zhixing was at a loss.
In the distance, a strange expression flashed across Yao Qing’s face. Master is really…
Yao Qing had heard a little about Zhou Shu recruiting workers.
But he didn’t expect his master to have such a deep obsession with workers. Mu Zhixing was not an ordinary person, but Zhou Shu actually wanted to make him a worker!
But he thought about it, it seemed to vent his anger.
Didn’t Mu Zhixing want to kill him and s.n.a.t.c.h his weapon?
Killing him with one strike would be letting him off too easily.
He bragged that he was a vanguard general under the Eastern Celestial Thearch and a big shot.
Letting him be a worker and work obediently to earn money to buy his life was his punishment!
Aren’t you pretentious? Let’s see how arrogant you can be now!
“Mu Zhixing, give me your answer. Do you choose to die or to be a worker?” Zhou Shu raised the Celestial Thearch Sword again.
Mu Zhixing’s eyes were full of conflict. “Does being a worker mean that I do things for you?”
