Chapter 868: Golems In Bi’an City (2/2)

Whether it was Mei Aonan’s master or the current commander, both were working for the sake of the beastworld. It was only that their methods were different.

The golem had to bargain: “Your Excellency, you also took away four golems from our beastworld, wasn’t that quite beneficial for you?”

“Those four golems? Everyone knows that the reality is that I brought them back from the brink of death.” Li Qiye waved his sleeve dismissively: “I’m not here to bargain with you this time. Even if you don’t agree, I’ll just do it myself. Do you want me to follow the rules, or should I personally go inside again? I do believe that it is not in your best interest for me to go inside once more!”

“Your Excellency…” The golem jumped after hearing this: “Your Excellency, you promised us that that kind of matter will never happen again.”

Li Qiye chuckled and said: “Can you blame me for it? I only tried out an idea of mine once, but by chance, three stones fell down from there.”

“Your Excellency, it wasn’t as simple as just three stones falling.” Even the golem turned cold at this moment while displaying an unfriendly expression: “You almost destroyed our entire city back then!”

That year after entering the painting, Li Qiye used an extremely heaven-defying means to sabotage the domain. It didn’t matter how incredible that location was, Li Qiye still managed to slam down three stones from there. Afterwards, these three divine stones were lost in the Stone Medicine World.

One of these stones accomplished something that all future descendants knew about — becoming Immortal Emperor Bi Shi! This particular stone was obtained by the Alchemy Kingdom after flying out of the beastworld.

“It is fine if I don’t enter, but my condition is very simple. I shall be in charge this time; only two people chosen by me will be allowed inside! As for the others, I don’t care for their fortunes, they will not enter!” Li Qiye uttered slowly. This time, his expression was completely serious.

From looking at his expression, the golem realized that Li Qiye did not come here to negotiate. He awkwardly asked: “Your Excellency, our beastworld was sealed for so long, must we wait for another generation?”

“Is that so? You’re truly underestimating me.” Li Qiye smiled: “Do you think the people I nominate won’t be able to succeed? Do you think there is someone else in the world who understands this place better than me?”

“Your Excellency, you are saying…?” The initially helpless golem became excited after hearing this: “You are saying that your candidates can definitely succeed?”

Li Qiye replied: “I cannot say for sure about the other candidate. That is someone trained by your old friend who said that you all promised him something. I don’t know if it was you, the current commander, or someone else who agreed — that’s your problem. Either way, that’s what he said.”

“Hmph! He still hasn’t given up!” The golem immediately knew who “he” was referring to. He responded by snorting with annoyance.

“It’s quite simple. You all had promised him, so follow through on this promise. We’ll give him one spot.” Li Qiye said.

The golem was musing this thought. He didn’t have any other choice in this matter since Li Qiye was not here to talk. Even if he said no, Li Qiye would continue to do as he pleased, and the consequences might be even worse at that point.

“Moreover, I’ll tell you some good news. My own candidate has deep ties with your beastworld. In terms of origin, all of you golems carved out of stone are far weaker than her.” Li Qiye spoke.

The golem’s eyes widened as he immediately stood up after hearing this and asked: “Your Excellency is saying… that you were successful?”

“I’m not sure, we’ll have to give it a shot to see.” Li Qiye replied: “However, after all of this talking, it seems like you don’t really understand me. I’ll just be frank then. The beastworld will belong to me!”

The golem was stunned from both shock and excitement. He fell back on his chair, not questioning Li Qiye’s ability and determination. After calming down, he looked at him and asked: “If Your Excellency is successful, what are your plans afterward?”

“I know what you golems are thinking.” Li Qiye said dismissively: “But rest assured, I will give all of you an answer by bringing everyone along!”

The golem stood up in astonishment and loudly exclaimed: “Your Excellency, you really mean it?”

“Correct.” Li Qiye slowly said: “Do you think that I need to lie to you?”

“Well, in that case, I wholeheartedly agree to Your Excellency’s proposal.” The golem took a deep breath and voiced his agreement.

1. Golem as in the golem race in the Stone Medicine World. This golem/statue does not consider himself to be one of them

2. This is an idiom. It is saying that no one will come visiting for no reason. If they come, there is a reason or have a favor that they want to ask. So basically, no one comes to the temple to worship, only when they want to ask for something.
