Chapter 538: Please Stab Me (2 in 1)
Box Lee looked at the serious look on Saber Sage’s face and he knew that this demon wasn’t going to back off and let him solely support Lucifer Lucy.
“Ok.”
Box Lee had to agree to it. If their positions were switched, he would do the same thing.
Mamen Demons were special. They would help each other and they would try to sabotage each other. They didn’t trust each other, but they would also rely on each other.
“There is only one problem.” Box Lee looked at Saber Sage and said, “Do you think the other elders will agree with us?”
A bitter smiled appeared on Saber Sage’s face. Everyone saw the special abilities of this Jiliu Feijing and they all saw the special Magic Conductors Lucifer Lucy took out.
The elders of the Mamen Clan weren’t stupid, they would want to do what the leaders wanted to do. Giving up on the opportunity to support Lucifer Lucy was equal to giving up on getting benefits from Qian Jin.
The elders of other clans might listen to the leaders’ decisions for the benefit of the group.
But not here, not in the clan that had the greediest demons.
“There isn’t much that I can do. Let me get my pocket full first!” this was the idea all the Mamen Demons had.
“Looks like…” Box Lee said with a bitter smile as well, “We’ll have to split the benefits we get from that Jiliu Feijing with them.”
Saber Sage sighed and nodded. He wasn’t willing to share the benefits but there was no way around it. He and Box Lee could only use this method to get the elders to agree with them and could potentially get a few more benefits than other elders.
With his arms crossed in front of his chest, Saber Philip had a cold sneer on his face. It looked even more gloomy as dark shads appeared on his face as the fire flickered.
“It is great that the leaders are thinking about this. Now, I can directly go against their plans and try all I can to stop them… including assassination. If the assassination succeeds, the leaders can’t say anything about me since they came up with this absurd plan…” he thought.
The night passed by slowly.
Greed appeared in every Mamen Elders’ eye as they thought about how they could get close to Qian Jin and get the most benefits.
As time passed, all the demons realized that Lucifer Lucy and her retinues didn’t stop absorbing the warrior energy from the Energy Cores even though they went pass the theoretical daily maximum.
“Are there normal demons in this group?” All the Mamen Demons thought, “There is a maximum, no? Are all their reservoirs mutated?”
“Not really.” Qian Jin sensed the strange stares and sighed to himself, “We are all not normal. Putting Fanta Kunge’s special warrior power aside, almost everyone here had taken the [Volcano Potion] before, and their reservoirs were much stronger. But… how can Zence Matten who hadn’t taken the [Volcano Potion] before also go pass the daily maximum? Looks like the Royal Family of Zence isn’t simple at all.”
After the night passed, Qian Jin rested for one hour and went back to forging.
One day, two days… three days… four days… five days… ten days…
No one expected Qian Jin to use ten days to forge this item.
The bright flames in the furnace were emitting a lot of pressure. Although the knife at one end of the chains wasn’t sharpened, it made everyone feel like it was lethal already.
Qian Jin suddenly turned around and looked at Box Lee, the scared this leader of the Mamen Clan. Before he could react, he heard a commanding voice, “Come here.”
Box Lee stood up and walked towards Qian Jin immediately without thinking and then he realized that he listened to the command of a mixed-blood.
“What is going on?” Box Lee who realized what happened didn’t understand. He wanted to stop walking forward, but he felt like it would make him look more foolish.
He saw the mocking smile on Saber Sage’s face, and he felt like it was cutting into his body like a blade.
“What do you need?” Box Lee walked up and asked lightly. In his mind, he was shouting. “If you were not useful, I would have killed you just now for talking to me like that!”
“Put your hand out and don’t use any warrior energy.”
Qian Jin commanded again without even looking up. Box Lee forced out a smile and he nodded at Saber Sage who was gloating. He tried hard to hold back the urge to crush Qian Jin to pieces and he placed his palm in front of Qian Jin.
Puff.
The burning chains suddenly landed in Box Lee’s hand and the chains seemed to have cooked this powerful demon’s hand. A roasted meat smell appeared in the air.
“Ah!”
Box Lee screamed out of pain and Saber Sage’s eyes opened wildly as he witnessed this shocking incident. “Is this Jiliu Feijing mad? How dare he burn Box Lee?” he thought.
The elders of the Mamen Clan were also shocked. Their mouths were opened so big that apples could easily fit in.
“What are you doing?” Box Lee’s anger exploded as he was burned. His warrior power rushed out of his body and lit up the surroundings. It felt like he would instantly kill this arrogant mixed-blood if he couldn’t get a proper explanation.
“Good.”
Qian Jin didn’t even look at this angry Mamen Demon. He stared at the blood that was quickly evaporating on the hot chains and threw the chains into a deepwater well.
Sizzle…
White steam rushed out of the opening of the well and it felt like the water in the well was boiling.
Qian Jin flickered his wrist and pulled onto the iron wire that was connected to the chains. The newly-forged chains were pulled out of the water.
All the demons in the yard subconsciously closed their eyes as they felt like it was hard to look at the chilling lights reflected off of the chains.
“Sharpen!”
Qian Jin threw the chains onto a grindstone and started to sharpen it quickly. Boblonso’s eyes lit up again as he watched Qian Jin work the grindstone. “What is this technique? Why haven’t I seen it before?”
Suddenly, the diamond-shaped metal at one end of the chains emitted a spectacular light. Under the thrust of warrior power, it felt like this light could pierce through the eyes of the demons and the universe.
“What are you…”
Qian Jin looked up and handed the chains over to Box Lee. He interrupted the angry Mamen Demon and said, “This weapon suits you, it is yours.”
The anger immediately left Box Lee’s face. Surprise, shock, joy, and excitement… all kinds of expressions appeared on Box Lee’s face.
Warrior Weapon! Level 10 Warrior Weapon!
As soon as Box Lee touched the chains, he knew that this wasn’t just any ordinary Warrior Weapon, it was a top-tier Warrior Weapon, a level 10 Warrior Weapon.
“It is not that simple…” Box Lee was lucky enough to touch a level 10 Warrior Weapon before, but it wasn’t as nice as this one.
Chains… there were only two chains, but it made him feel like these were his limbs…
“That is right!” Box Lee couldn’t hold back his joy. With these two chains in his hands, he felt like they were extensions of his body and not just weapons.
“How is this possible? How?” Box Lee had seen a lot of things, but he was too shocked by the chains Qian Jin threw at him. He was in a strange state. He wanted to laugh loudly, but he was afraid that Qian Jin would think that his standard was too low. He wanted to control himself, but he wasn’t able to.
Level 10 Warrior Weapon. Even though the Mamen Clan was resourceful had had four Saint Weapons, they all belonged to the entire clan, and he, Box Lee, couldn’t use them as his personal property.
Level 10 Warrior Weapon. Even though Box Lee was a leader, he never had one before. He only had a level 7 Warrior Weapon, and Saber Sage only had a level 7 Warrior Weapon as well.
Putting the level of the weapon aside, Box Lee had never found a weapon more compatible with him.
“I burned you so I can seal your aura into this Warrior Weapon.” Qian Jin frowned and did some rare explanation, “It is too hard to explain it to someone like you who knows nothing about forging.”
Box Lee was so excited that he completely ignored Qian Jin’s scolding tone. He nodded in ecstasy and replied, “You are right, you are right. I don’t know anything about forging. You are right!”
“Get a level 10 Warrior Weapon after being scolded?” If this was the case, Box Lee was willing to be scolded every day, and he would be able to get a full set of level 10 Warrior Weapons.
A full set of level 10 Warrior Weapons could unleash shocking power in the hands of a top-tier warrior.
“What? He got a level 10 Warrior Weapon?” The gloating smile on Saber Sage’s face froze as he looked at Box Lee who was looking at him in a provoking manner.
At this moment, Box Lee was feeling great with the level 10 Warrior Weapon in his hand and he was loving the shocked and jealous expression on Saber Sage’s face.
“Mock me again!” Box Lee thought as he laughed, and he had to press down the urge of wanting to dance in front of Saber Sage.
Saber Sage’s eyeballs also fell off his face because his eyes were opened so widely. “Level 10 Warrior Weapon! I’m one of the two leaders of the Maman Clan, and I don’t even have one. Now Box Lee got one before me?” he was too jealous.
Saber Sage wanted to run to Qian Jin and ask, “Do I get a level 10 Warrior Weapon if you burn me? If that is the case, please burn me as well! Cut and stab me if you want. Do anything to me as long as I don’t get killed and I can get a level 10 Warrior Weapon too…” Crazy jealousy flashed in Saber Sage’s eyes, and the other elders were surrounding Box Lee with jealousy as well.
Top-tier Warrior Weapons weren’t something that they could see every day.
As they surrounded Box Lee, they all looked at Qian Jin with hope and greed. “10 days only… this mixed-blood made a level 10 Warrior Weapon in 10 days… What did that mean? To him, making a level 10 Warrior Weapon was as easy as drinking water. If he wants, he could make the item that other Forge Grandmasters had to take a long time to make. If I can get something going between us, then my family, my descendants, and I…” All kinds of thoughts and possibilities flashed in the elders’ heads. They thought about how they could get close to Qian Jin.
“If I can get my daughter to marry him, I don’t even need to spend resources on our relationship… Does he like Mamen beauties?”
Qian Jin immediately sensed a lot of intense stares and he felt like he was targeted by a bunch of beasts. He thought to himself, “Looks like it is worthwhile coming to the Demon Territory. Just enduring these stares is a huge spiritual challenge!”
After Saber Sage endured his jealousy for a while, he stood up and walked toward Box Lee. “Lee, congratulations.”
Box Lee waved his chains and said, “Sage, look! A Level 10 Warrior Weapon…”
“Level 10 … Warrior Weapon… Your mom…” Saber Sage looked at Box Lee with envy and jealousy and wanted to kick this demon who was showing off.
Qian Jin smiled as he saw the thumb up from Zence Matten. This prince of Zence came up with this strategy. He clearly capitalized on the greediness and the internal competition of the Mamen Demons. As long as Qian Jin favored one side, the entire Mamen Clan would shake.
“Humph.” Zence Matten smiled. He had helped Qian Jin a lot these few days and he no longer owed Qian Jin anything. On his list, what was next was to make Qian Jin his retinue. He knew that he probably couldn’t achieve this goal, but he wanted Qian Jin to support him as a candidate for the next emperor and become his subordinates.
“If not retinue… then he can become my closest subordinate.” As Zence Matten glanced around, he thought, “This Duren Burg is a Hydra Bloodline Warrior, but he is not a part of the Pam Family. If he can become my retinue… And this Fanta Kunge from the Fanta Family… This team is perfect, but the only weakness is the identity of Cech Flet and Lucifer Lucy. If I can use this weakness properly, I don’t think Qian Jin and others will think too much.”
“Friendship?” A bit of envy appeared on Zence Matten’s face, and he didn’t realize it himself. “Friendship is too intangible, and it is too luxurious for an emperor. As a member of the Royal Family, I only need to be calculative and have an iron-heart.” He thought.
Zence Matten felt like he had seen through a lot of stuff in this trip. “My elder brother is willing to kill me to get the throne. I can’t even rely on my family… how can I rely on something like the friendship that is even looser?”
He subconsciously increased his fanning speed as he held onto his fan tightly. He looked at Qian Jin and others coldly and thought, “These people won’t be as united as they seem when facing real danger. They would only look after themselves. They might even betray each other to survive. I have seen too many stories and heard too much from my mentors.” Zence Matten thought as his eyes squinted.
“Your Highness…” Saber Sage squeezed through the elders who surrounded Box Lee and rushed towards Lucifer Lucy. He bowed and said with a very sincere tone, “I, Saber Sage, swear my loyalty to Your Highness…”
He declared his obvious support.
Although Lucifer Lucy knew this was going to happen, she still couldn’t believe it at this point.
Saber Sage was one of the leaders of the Mamen Clan.
Although there were two leaders of the Mamen Clan, a leader was a leader after all. Saber Sage represented half of the Mamen Clan and he swore his loyalty towards Lucifer Lucy.
How magnificent was that? It was even hard for the Crown Prince to get a leader of a demon clan to swore loyalty to him, let alone a leader of one of the top seven Demon Species.
Lucifer Lucy felt like she was dreaming. What she didn’t even dare to think about before was coming true.
Box Lee who was being surrounded by the elders got anxious after he saw what Saber Sage did. He pushed through the elders and got in front of Lucifer Lucy.
“How is one level 10 Warrior Weapon enough? Two… ten… twenty…” Box Lee shouted in his mind as greedy filled his head. His mind was also unprecedently clear as he knew he couldn’t let Saber Sage get the benefits before him.
“I’m not too late…..” He thought as he single-kneeled down and bowed. With an even more sincere expression on his face, he looked up at Lucifer Lucy and said, “Beautiful and powerful Tenth Princess. I, Box Lee, swear my loyalty to Your Highness…”
