LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 251: I Am Being Philanthropic
“What’s up?”
Qin Zhengji looked at Qin Bei with some caution.
At a time like this, he had to listen carefully to everything, even the words of “please don’t say.”
Otherwise, he might fall into his grandson’s trap in the next second.
“Nothing much, just what we agreed on before? Didn’t you say you could help increase my soul power? I’ve been waiting,” Qin Bei replied with a smile.
His current soul power wasn’t even as strong as when he entered the imperial tomb.
This time, in order to help his great-grandfather, Qin Bei really pulled out all the stops.
If this person weren’t Qin Bei’s great-grandfather, he certainly wouldn’t do something like completing the task before receiving benefits.
“Alright! Don’t worry, since I promised you, I won’t go back on my word. Catching a few soul bodies? That’s a piece of cake. Just tell me how many you want,” Qin Zhengji said, waving his hand generously.
“I’m like Han Xin recruiting soldiers— the more the merrier!”
“What Han Xin recruiting soldiers?”
“Eh… whatever, just the more, the better.”
“Heh~ I just worry you won’t be able to handle it later!”
Now that Qin Zhengji had regained his strength, he couldn’t help but look down on Qin Bei’s prowess.
Thinking back to when he was once beaten to the ground by this grandson, it brought back a sense of satisfaction at having regained power— perhaps he could return the favor.
“Shou Ming!”
Qin Zhengji called out to Shou Ming.
A smack-down was necessary, but first, he needed to fulfill his promise.
Otherwise, that grandson would think he was just bluffing.
Over the years, Qin Zhengji had called Shou Ming countless times like this.
Even though back then, he didn’t have the strength to let his voice reach Shou Ming’s ears, as long as he called, Shou Ming would hear him and show up immediately.
This time, although Qin Zhengji had regained his strength, he still called for Shou Ming to appear out of habit.
But this time, contrary to the years of predictability, it was an exception.
“Shou Ming?!”
Qin Zhengji frowned and called out again.
But the result remained the same.
Shou Ming did not appear in the room.
“What’s he off doing now?”
Qin Zhengji felt a little confused but didn’t dwell on it too much.
After seeing the strange look Qin Bei was giving him, he cleared his throat.
“Ahem~ Don’t look at me like that! It makes me seem like I’m trying to dodge my debts. I can just go and fetch it myself.”
Qin Zhengji said a tad awkwardly.
“Then hurry up! Also, my two wives are still outside. Can you let them in?” Qin Bei inquired.
Qin Zhengji: ???
“You have two wives at such a young age? Such a flirt!”
Qin Zhengji, who had loved only one person in his life, couldn’t help but complain after seeing that Qin Bei had two wives already.
“What do you know, you old stick-in-the-mud? I’m just being equitable! Look at my father—he has plenty of concubines. If any royal family member only marries one, they’d be laughed at!”
Qin Bei felt the need to correct this misunderstanding.
He wasn’t a flirt—he was just being loving!
Loving!
“Alright! I’ll let them in. You just wait here. This place is perfect for you to retreat and absorb that soul power.”
Qin Zhengji didn’t want to waste time arguing with Qin Bei.
After handing over the things to Qin Bei, he still needed to see what Shou Ming was up to.
Given that he hadn’t shown up, it was clear something important was going on.
Now that his strength had returned, although it wasn’t fully restored, he would be the one calling the shots in this Demon Domain from now on.
