“Who says I'm just a burden?” Mo Li said angrily, clearly underestimating him. “Well then, how do you propose we cooperate?”
Qin Chen smiled as he looked at Mo Li. This guy is truly stubborn. If it weren't for the troubles faced by Tianwu Continent back then, and his cooperation with Chi Yan Demon Lord to resist foreign enemies, as well as having helped You Qianxue in the Void Tide Sea, Qin Chen would have no interest in wasting words with them.
However, these two came from Tianwu Continent after all, and having witnessed so much along the way, as long as they didn’t seek their own demise by causing trouble, Qin Chen had no intention of killing them.
Qin Chen was not a killing fanatic.
Moreover, Qin Chen vaguely sensed that Mo Li definitely had a trump card up his sleeve. He understood this man too well; he was someone incredibly insane. If he had no trump card, how could he be so arrogant? If he really wanted to kill him, it would not be easy.
At the very least, it would definitely be more troublesome than dealing with the Giant Peak Earth Venerable, and this was Qin Chen’s instinct, which he firmly believed.
“Hmph, cooperation means that our relationship is equal. We will take you to the location of the Chaos Tree, and we will cooperate, but each side takes what they need. Whoever obtains the Chaos Fruit, that Chaos Fruit belongs to them, and no one is allowed to snatch it. How about that?” Mo Li stated solemnly.
“Fine, do as you please.”
Qin Chen couldn’t be bothered to argue about these things. He wondered why Mo Li was so fixated on equality in status. Did he think that he would oppress him?
Qin Chen’s casual attitude further irritated Mo Li. Did this kid not realize how hard he had worked to reach a position where he could negotiate with him?
“Alright, follow us. We will take you to the location of the Chaos Tree right now.”
Whoosh! Mo Li and Chi Yan Demon Lord immediately soared into the sky, heading towards the ruins.
“Hmm?”
Qin Chen's gaze flickered as he noticed that the injuries on Mo Li and Chi Yan Demon Lord had actually healed within such a short moment. These two guys indeed had some skills.
“Li’er, are we really going to cooperate with this great demon?”
Chi Yan Demon Lord glanced at Qin Chen and transmitted a message to Mo Li.
“What else can we do? The Chaos Fruit is about to ripen, and we don't have time.”
Mo Li shook his head.
“But being with this great demon has never brought us any good.”
Chi Yan Demon Lord said, somewhat apprehensive, unable to shake off the deep-seated fear.
No matter what secret realm it was, as long as Qin Chen was present, they never had good fortune.
“Do I need to tell you that?”
Mo Li nearly spat blood. He was the biggest victim, okay?
Ever since Ancient Southern Capital, he had been suppressed by Qin Chen. How could that feeling be better?
“This time is different. We are cooperating with this great demon. Don't forget, has this great demon ever suffered losses in previous secret realms? Back in the Void Tide Sea, he was merely at the level of a Saint Master, yet even the Demon Clan's Demon Sovereign could not kill him. This child possesses great fortune; cooperating with him might bring us astonishing gains!”
Mo Li said.
He himself was also a person of great fortune; otherwise, he wouldn’t have survived to this point. But compared to Qin Chen, he fell short in many respects. With the two of them joining forces, Mo Li had a feeling that they would definitely reap great rewards this time.
“That’s true.”
Chi Yan Demon Lord nodded. “But how did this great demon transform into a true dragon? It is said that the true dragon clan is an extremely powerful race in the universe. This great demon is clearly of the human race; how did he achieve this?”
“Who knows?”
Mo Li shot a glance at Qin Chen. “Perhaps this great demon killed a true dragon and consumed it. With this great demon's capabilities, what can't he do?”
“That's also possible.”
