Chapter 167: Chapter 107 Masked Emperor

Li Xiu returned to the City Lord’s Mansion, feeding the thirteen pieces of Pink Apatite to the Pink Nightmare one by one.

After the Pink Nightmare swallowed the Pink Apatite, the pink glow inside its body gradually strengthened, and those black scars slowly faded.

However, the fading speed was very slow; after consuming seven or eight pieces of Pink Apatite, the injuries were still clearly visible.

"Come in," Li Xiu heard the knock on the door, but just by the sound of footsteps, he already knew it was Sha Chu.

After Sha Chu came in, she placed a bag in front of Li Xiu: "This is the Demon Core for the Pink Apatite you previously purchased."

Li Xiu did not look at it, continuing to feed the Pink Nightmare with the Pink Apatite.

"How did the Pink Nightmare get injured? This injury looks like the Black Death Demon..." Sha Chu asked, puzzled.

"Let’s discuss the matter first," Li Xiu said.

Sha Chu placed the box she was holding on the table, opened it, revealing gemstones of various colors; among them, Pink Apatite and Red Apatite were the most abundant, some even reaching the Jedi Knight level, the largest over seven carats, the smaller ones three to four carats.

Additionally, there was a box of Rubies and a box of Blue Sapphires, although not very large, only about two to three carats each, but they were all very uniform in size, with excellent cuts, and the quality was very good. The Ruby could reach pigeon blood red, and the Sapphire could almost achieve royal blue; each box contained seven or eight pieces, presumably high-quality materials for making bracelets.

"These were brought out by those father and son to buy their lives," Sha Chu said.

"How do you plan to handle it?" Li Xiu casually asked.

"I’ll keep the gemstones and keep an eye on them; they can’t escape, up to you to handle," Sha Chu said, "Zhongshan City is setting rules now, this precedent cannot be set."

"What do you intend to do with Jani?" Li Xiu asked noncommittally.

"Such a person naturally cannot be retained," Sha Chu said.

"What position does he currently hold?" Li Xiu asked again.

"Captain of a squad in the City Guard," Sha Chu was already well-informed.

"There is still a vacancy for the Deputy Captain of the City Guard?" Li Xiu casually said.

"You mean..." Sha Chu paused.

"Give it to him, let him handle it," Li Xiu said lightly.

Sha Chu was initially stunned, then, after realizing it, her expression toward Li Xiu became somewhat peculiar, even feeling a chill down her spine.

"Our foundation here is unstable, we’re lacking in everything, especially people willing to do dirty and exhausting tasks. Pay extra attention and cultivate them if possible," Li Xiu said.

"I understand, I’ll watch him; if he’s useful, I’ll use him; if not, I’ll take care of it," Sha Chu’s tone had changed.

Sha Chu always thought Li Xiu was the kind of person focused only on his own cultivation, not likely to pay much attention to other areas.

This could be seen from Li Xiu’s previous behavior and his entrusting Zhongshan City to her and Fei for management.

But Li Xiu’s approach today made Sha Chu feel like she might not know Li Xiu as well as she thought.

It’s easy for someone to clearly distinguish love and hate, just follow one’s heart without fearing life or death.

But someone who can invert black and white, not taking personal love and hate as a starting point, is even more terrifying.

If Jani were to personally handle that father and son and then gain promotion and wealth, the veterans of Zhongshan City would likely no longer dare to associate with him; he could only obediently become the dog of the City Lord’s Mansion, doing all the dirty and exhausting tasks. The more he does, the deeper he gets involved, and the more dependent he becomes on the City Lord’s Mansion. No one could be more useful than him.

What the City Lord’s Mansion needs now is someone familiar with Zhongshan City and willing to do dirty and exhausting tasks.

"How is your Black Death Demon cultivation going?" Li Xiu asked Sha Chu, after feeding all the Pink Apatite, standing up and looking at her.

"I haven’t found suitable gemstones yet; I don’t want to use Ordinary Demon Core as it’s just wasteful," Sha Chu said.

"The City Lord’s Mansion is financially strained now; I can’t afford to pay your salary, so take this as your salary," Li Xiu placed a Demon Spirit Ring on the table.

"A Demon Spirit Ring... Judging by the style, it’s still a Black Death Demon; you didn’t just get one Demon Spirit Ring at that time..." Sha Chu said, feeling a bit envious.

She entered the Land of Trial many times and still hadn’t obtained a Flowing Color Demon Spirit Ring, yet Li Xiu went just once and got two Demon Spirit Rings.

"Of course the Demon Spirit Ring is good, but I already have a Flowing Color Black Death Demon; having more Demons is not necessarily better. I need to focus on cultivating that one Flowing Color Black Death Demon first; I still don’t know where to get resources. Having another one, I can’t afford to maintain it; you should keep it for now," Sha Chu said.

"Seal the contract first and then talk," Li Xiu smiled and said.

Sha Chu immediately realized that the Demon Spirit Ring was probably unusual, hesitated for a moment, then picked up the Demon Spirit Ring and put it on, simultaneously dripping her own blood onto it.

Unlike Demon Spirit Gemstones, Demon Spirit Rings do not require long cultivation; a drop of blood completes the contract.

The instant the contract was completed, Sha Chu’s eyes widened, exclaiming: "Radiant Demon Spirit... it’s actually a Radiant Black Death Demon..."

"You’re... giving it to me?" Sha Chu looked at Li Xiu with a complex expression.

"You work for me, naturally you should receive corresponding rewards; this is just the beginning," Li Xiu said lightly.
