A Journey Against the World
Chapter 184

"Damn! It's useless!" Lou Zhou cursed while slamming whatever was on his desk. Then after that he immediately left his study in a hurry, of course using the dimensional door.

Knowing his soldiers were unable to stop the two uninvited guests, Lou Zhou's feelings grew increasingly unsettled, his mind raging in fret. All he feared was one, he would die at the hands of the girl.

Naturally Lou Zhou did not want that to happen, as the ruler of the Upper world where perhaps he was willing to die at the hands of a young girl who even looked very young. What would his followers say if they knew of this shame. Moreover, King Lan would naturally not forgive himself if it died at the hands of a girl.

Lou Zhou managed to move, to a green meadow located very far from the kingdom of Heaven. Miles, distances. After arriving at his escape, of course Lou Zhou rushed to send a signal of assistance to the Moon General in the Middle world. However, damn! The signal he sent to his adopted son was not conveyed, nor to his other followers.

Worry increasingly haunts Lou Zhou, cold sweat pouring down his face, even to the palm of his hand. He paced around while thinking how to avoid a fight with the two guests.

"King King Lan, I need your help." Lou Yue gave a signal to King Lan, and unfortunately again, the signal was not picked up by the Demon King. At once Lou Zhou cursed in annoyance while throwing half of his strength at the empty air that hit the forest trees.

Duars!

In an instant, the grove of trees burned scorched and left only the charcoal of the trees and the remnants of the fire that is still wrong. Lou Zhou certainly did not care about it, he needed something to release all his emotions.

Prok! Prok! Prok!

The sound of applause for who managed to attract the attention of Lou Zhou, turned him to the left and saw a handsome girl and young man coming out of the dimensional door. The girl in a silver dress like her hair was bending a beautiful smile, but not a terrible smile a good sign, good for the girl, but bad for Lou Zhou.

"Don't go anymore, because it's free" said the girl, who is none other than Menma.

"Hey, Old Man! You're making us bother! Just shut up and let us take your life, instead of you having to run away like this. Go wherever you still can we chase. I've been marking your smell since that day." Azura muttered in annoyance. Upset because Lou Zhou made him have to fuss.

"I know what you're coming here for." Lou Zhou spoke casually and subtly, deliberately only to buy time, so that King Lan had a chance to help himself. "What if we negotiate?"

"Negotiations? You think there's a decent thing you can negotiate with us?" Azura said cynically, her delicacy clearly meant her disinterest in Lou Zhou's offer. Negotiations? Ck, Azura is not a typical person who is easy to negotiate with someone he does not like. Like Lou Zhou for example.

Lou Zhou grimaced softly at Azura's rejection, but it wasn't the young man he expected, Lou Zhou expected Menma to listen to him. However, seeing the reaction of the girl was very ordinary as if not caring about her invitation, making Lou Zhou lose hope.

He thought so, but it was different again after the girl spoke.

"Tell me what do you want to negotiate?" Menma's question instantly made Azura look at her with a clueless look. I don't understand why Menma still wants to listen to Lou Zhou.

"Menma?!-" Azura wanted to ask, but Menma immediately cut off her words.

"St! Shut up, I know what I'm doing."

While Lou Zhou, the man had already painted a very wide happy smile. It was good to know that Menma still wanted to listen to her invitation, that way, her chance of living in this cramped state was still there.

"Much! If you want treasure and standing, I can give it to you! Whatever it is!" lou Zhou's reply quickly excitedly, as he stepped, intending to approach Menma and Azura, but came to a halt when Menma spoke again.

"Don't go forward, or this negotiation is off" Menma said casually. However, it sounded like a danger alarm to Lou Zhou.

"Ah, okay. I'm sorry." As soon as possible Lou Zhou apologized, afraid that the girl changed her mind and instead wanted to hasten her murder.

"Continue." Menma asked Lou Zhou to continue with her words.

"I will give you most of my authority, as well as the best position in my kingdom. Money, possessions, and fun I can give you, whatever it is, as long as you don't ask for my life" Lou Zhou said calmly and with a proud smile. Of course, this offer is not a mere joke, he can really give some of his power to Menma if it is the urgent situation. Better than losing a life, Lou Zhou thought.

In addition, Lou Zhou felt, by inviting Menma negotiations can also give him great influence, especially in terms of strength. Because somehow the power of Menma can not be denied anymore, even King Lan a little trepidation to him. Making Lou Zhou think, it was better for him to follow Menma than for King Lan who was clearly weaker than Menma.

But another matter of course existed, with Menma's current strength, Lou Zhou wasn't sure the girl would cooperate with him. Because at its core, everyone knows that strength comes first. Power and possessions are second.

"By joining us, you can also rule over the other world with me. Hows it? Is my offer less tempting?" Lou Yue smiled meaningfully.

Who will not bend if offered property and position. In a world like this, if it does not have great strength then the treasures and position are the second determinant. Moreover, with these two materials, it was not young for a Cultivator to be able to meet his training needs to continue to grow rapidly.

If what is offered is a weak-hearted person, a young one tempted by wealth and position, it is certain that he will accept it. And will Menma accept the offer?

"Gtl! Ahahaha! Don't joke with you!" Azura laughed out loud, feeling something funny with Lou Zhou's words. Even Azura's tears wanted to come out because she was so loud she laughed, even to the edge. "Harta? The position? Ppfft ...your kingdom is not even comparable to its power!" Azura continued while wiping her tears that managed to come out. Lou Zhou's words really tickled his stomach.

Lou Zhou's face instantly turned sour, Azura's words really struck him, right in his heart. The arrow was invisible, but the shame and pain were stark!

Wanting to feel Lou Zhou shout furiously and then kill the young man, if only he did not remember the Menma the angel of his death, it was certain that Lou Zhou would not be this patient.

Instantly Azura's laughter came to a halt, her sharp gaze fixed on Menma. While on the other hand, Lou Zhou boasted a wide smile, if he could he wanted to laugh out loud replying to Azura's previous taunts.

"Menma!-" And again, Menma held Azura to meddle with her problem. Azura clenched her hands furiously, it was very anxious that she gripped Menma's hand and lowered it, but Azura realized, if she did that surely Menma would be angry with her.

"Your offer was quite interesting to me, especially about exploring the world you meant." Menma propped up her chin, a smile still floating beautifully on her face. His passionate gaze was still fixed on Lou Zhou. "But I guess, compared to that, I'd rather you be my follower, how?"

"Maah!" Azura was no longer able to hold back her anger, or perhaps more precisely her jealousy. "Aren't there enough Tsakuya and Zusami by your side? And now you want to recruit this old man?! I think your man's standards are pretty low!" oceh Azura was upset.

But unfortunately Menma did not pry his words. This made Azura even more upset. Unable to do anything else, Azura threw away her gaze while puffing onto her two cheeks. Just like a kid when sulking.

"So your followers?" Lou Zhou smiled. How could he possibly agree with Menma's words while King Lan was someone who gave her strength. If Lou Zhou betrayed, there he would be killed by King Lan. And in the end it's all the same, dying at the hands of people Lou Zhou doesn't want.

"I gave you a little time, five seconds. Five seconds is enough, right?"

"W-what? Five seconds?" Lou Zhou was shocked by Menma's words.

"One."

"Wait a minute!"

"Two."

"Let me-"

"Three."

'Shit!' Lou Zhou clucked resentfully inwardly. This was not what he wanted, being urged for something he did not want. Though it should all go according to his plan, Menma accepted the negotiation, then she and King Lan would kill him at the right time.

But what now? Damnit damnit! Even to think that Lou Zhou did not have the time.

"Four."

"Lime-"

"I accept your offer!" For whatever sake, inwardly, Lou Zhou had prayed that he would not be killed by King Lan for betraying the Demon King. "But, can you be sure I won't be killed by King Lan? I'm afraid he'll kill me if he finds out I betrayed him."

"Could certainly." Without a second thought Menma agreed with Lou Zhou. Even Lou Zhou almost gave a smile again if Menma did not immediately return to speak. "Don't you just have to kill him?" Menma's words on this one really made Lou Zhou surprised. Even Azura was surprised to hear it.

"Why can I kill him while I get strength from him" Lou Zhou replied. He was very doubtful of Menma's words.

Kill King Lan? Just be right! There was Lou Zhou who was about to be killed by King Lan. Lou Zhou himself knew what kind of great and powerful King Lan was, which clearly Lou Zhou could not surpass.

"That's easy, you just have to kill him without his knowledge. Call him here, and when he arrives, hit him in the heart with your gun."
