The world has turned into Hell's Game, why should I stay human? Chapter 857 - 575: Liu Zheng: Am I Going to Be a Dad Now?

"Looks like Shi Sang is quite satisfied."

Liu Zheng was also pleased with Shi Tiantian’s reaction.

"Hehehe?"

"Shi Sang’s asking, where did you get this from, and what is it called?"

Shi Sanya translated.

"I bought it at an auction; it’s called a Miniature Akon Gemstone."

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he didn’t ntion the dwarves.

"Hehehe?"

"Why is it miniature? What about large or giant ones?"

Shi Sanya translated.

"Because the auction only had miniature Akon Gemstones. Even if there were large or giant ones, I probably couldn’t afford them."

Liu Zheng shrugged and said.

"Hehehe?"

"What auction? Can I participate next ti?"

Shi Sanya continued translating.

"It’s the tropolis collectors’ auction, which is probably not possible; I was taken there myself. That collector’s temper is terrible, and he sees everyone else as food except ."

He said.

"Hehehe!"

"So next ti, if there are more Akon Gemstones at the auction, please do help bid for them."

Shi Sanya continued translating.

"That’s no problem."

Liu Zheng nodded.

Shi Tiantian stared at him for a while and then took a skull from her own body and handed it to him.

Liu Zheng took the skull, not quite understanding, and it shrunk down to half the size of a fist.

"What is this?"

He looked at Shi Sanya.

"It’s a tradition of the Stone Spirit Clan, exchanging skulls as a token of friendship."

Shi Sanya explained.

"Oh, I see."

Liu Zheng thought for a mont, then drew the sawtoothed butcher knife to chop off one of his own tentacles.

"Then please accept this gift as a testant to our friendship."

He smiled sincerely, handing the still-bleeding tentacle to Shi Tiantian.

"Hehehe!"

Shi Tiantian carefully accepted the tentacle with her large hand and placed it against her chest.

Soon, the tentacle began to petrify from the severed edge, becoming part of her body.

"Hehehe?"

"Well then, dear human sir, what would you like to help you with?"

Shi Tiantian said.

"Dear human sir..."

Yangzi barely refrained from rolling her eyes, relying on years of professional restraint.

"So, dear Stone Essence Miss, I have a commission that requires a trip to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains..."

Liu Zheng recounted the commission from the General Services and the concerns with Great Jiang Mountain to Shi Tiantian.

"After pondering, I realized that to accomplish such a challenging task, the help of the Stone Spirit Clan is absolutely necessary. Among them, Miss Shi Tiantian, you are the most gentle and wise, graceful, beautiful, and kind-hearted."

He showered a torrent of complints on Shi Tiantian as if they were free.

"Hehehe~"

Shi Tiantian indeed smiled broadly from being showered with praises.

"You sure have a way with words, dear human sir. So good at massage and praising, I’m almost falling in love with you."

Shi Sanya translated with a straight face.

"What? So dear Miss Shi Tiantian hasn’t fallen in love with yet? I’m truly heartbroken."

Liu Zheng pretended to be sad.

"Hehehe?"

"You haven’t even told your na; how can I fall for soone without a na?"

Shi Sanya translated.

"My mistake. My na is Liu Zheng, dear Miss Shi Tiantian."

He bowed.

"Hehehe~"

"Your na sounds lovely, dear Mr. Liu Zheng."

Shi Sanya dutifully acted as the interpreter.

Of course, limited to content; he would not translate tone and deanor.

"So about my request?"

Liu Zheng tentatively asked.

"No problem. But if that mountain has an owner, I can only provide you a thod to find the Mountain Core, and cannot accompany you up the mountain. As for your conflict with the Great Jiang Mountain, I can help negotiate. If it cos to fighting, I can protect you personally, but I cannot vouch for your entourage."

When ntioning the entourage, Shi Tiantian casually glanced at Yangzi.

"You know, our Stone Spirit Clan has always adhered to the principle of causing no trouble but fearing none. After all, we are still part of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains and shouldn’t turn too much against them."

Despite its appearance, her manner of speaking was not rigid but instead quite smooth.

"I understand. That’s enough."

Liu Zheng nodded.

He didn’t plan to pin all his hopes on the Stone Spirit Clan.

Besides relying on them to locate the Mountain Core, he mainly wanted the Stone Spirit Clan to endorse their legitimacy entering the Ten Thousand Great Mountains to avoid being incited by Great Jiang Mountain and attacked by other mountain factions.

"Alright. Then let’s wish for a successful collaboration, dear Mr. Liu Zheng."

Shi Tiantian extended her large hand proactively.

"Successful collaboration, dear Miss Shi Tiantian. But how shall we contact you then?"

Liu Zheng asked.

"As long as you blow my small skull within the Ten Thousand Great Mountains’ area, I will sense your location and co to find you."

Shi Tiantian said.

"Got it."

"I have so matters to attend to, so goodbye, dear Mr. Liu Zheng."

Shi Tiantian greeted politely and then bent over to leave the private room.

Liu Zheng watched her large back with a mixed expression.

"Feels different from what you imagined, doesn’t it?"

Shi Sanya saw through his thoughts.

"Indeed, the Stone Spirit Clan really is exceptional."

He nodded.

"Not really, the other folks of the Stone Spirit Clan are quite honest and straightforward."

Shi Sanya shook his head.

"Then what about Shi Tiantian?"

"Shi Sang must be a genetic mutation, plus being one of the Stone Spirit Clan’s representatives of this generation, often out and about handling clan affairs, accumulating quite so worldly wisdom."
