Chapter 36 How could you be so selfish!
Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing immediately took a half step back warily, looking her up and down: "Just say what you want to say, don't give me that. You're not the type to be polite with me, so this is definitely not a good thing."
Daisy, caught red-handed, forced a calm retort: "We've only known each other for a few days, how dare you make such judgments about my character?"
"Hmph! Fine, I'll just say it straight: I want to turn that wolf king's corpse into a mortal servant!"
Zhou Qing suddenly changed her expression and flew into a rage: "You filthy Daisy, I knew you were up to no good!"
"You were after my ingredients all along!"
"I'm telling you, don't even think about it!"
"I can buy it!" Daisy said hastily.
"Buying it is not an option either!" Zhou Qing shook his head without even thinking and started pointing.
"You're only thinking about your own magical research; you haven't even considered my dinner!"
"How can you be so selfish!"
"That's what I should be saying!" Daisy retorted, hands on her hips, also getting angry.
After saying that, she seemed to remember something, and instantly changed her expression, her tone becoming soft and even a little coquettish: "Oh, boss! Is it okay?"
"I don't want the task payment today. I'll just consider it working for you for free, okay?"
"If it really doesn't work out, I'll work for you for a few more days without pay! Just say yes!"
Zhou Qing waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't try that! Even if you strip naked and kneel before me begging, I won't give you the wolf king's corpse!"
Daisy instantly bristled, hugging her arms and taking a step back, her eyes filled with disdain: "You horny monkey, you really were eyeing my body!"
Zhou Qing sneered, "So you're resorting to personal attacks now?"
"I'm asking you, didn't you say before that the corpses of demon wolves were vulgar, lacked aesthetic appeal, and that you looked down on them?"
"Why are you suddenly so eager for the wolf king's corpse?"
"How could they have contradicted themselves so quickly?"
Daisy scoffed without batting an eye, "How can that be the same? That's the Wolf King! How can it be compared to those ordinary demon wolves?"
"Oh? I understand."
Zhou Qing deliberately dragged out her words: "Is this what they call the beauty of intensity?"
"That's right!" Daisy nodded seriously, her eyes filled with fervor.
"It's powerful enough! With its robust physique and magical abilities, any corpse servants made from it would be absolutely top-tier!"
"When I create corpse servants, I can not only completely preserve their magical abilities from their lifetime, but also their combat skills!"
"That amazing?"
Zhou Qing was genuinely surprised this time.
He had thought the corpse servants were just puppets driven by magic, but he never expected there to be such a thing.
"Of course!" Daisy proudly raised her chin, instantly regaining her confidence as she spoke about her field of expertise.
"The creation of corpse servants is a profound and complex art; preserving their magic and combat skills from their previous life is just the basic operation."
"The true essence is to make the corpse servants even more powerful than they were in life!"
After listening, Zhou Qing immediately clapped her hands and said, "That's amazing! When will you teach me?"
Upon hearing this, Daisy glanced at Zhou Qing instinctively, her eyes filled with disdain: "You? Someone like you, whose head is only filled with food, wants to learn necromancy?"
As soon as she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had thought of a good idea. A sly smile appeared on her lips as she leaned forward and said, "However, if you give me the wolf king's corpse, I might be able to teach you."
"Consider it... tuition."
"How about it? Pretty good deal, right?"
Looking at her smug expression, Zhou Qing sighed softly, "You really want this wolf king's carcass that badly?"
"Of course!" Daisy nodded vigorously, her eyes practically overflowing with longing.
"This is top-quality material! If we miss this opportunity, who knows when we'll encounter the Wolf King again!"
"Alright, it's a deal." Zhou Qing readily agreed.
"Huh?" Daisy was stunned. The smugness on her face froze instantly, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
She originally thought Zhou Qing would haggle or even refuse outright, but she didn't expect him to agree so readily.
For a moment, she felt a little regretful.
If she had known it would be this easy, she should have asked for an even more outrageous condition!
But then Daisy thought about it again and felt relieved.
Even if she were taught, Zhou Qing wouldn't be able to learn it.
Necromancy isn't something just anyone can learn. She studied at Deathsong Academy from a young age and it took her several years to even grasp the basics.
Zhou Qing is an adventurer, and a foolish warrior at that. He might only know a little about staff fighting. How could he so easily master profound necromancy?
Even if Zhou Qing doesn't learn it, the wolf king's corpse will still be hers, which is a huge win!
Anyway, I've taught them everything I needed to.
Thinking of this, Daisy cleared her throat and put on a teacher's air: "Since you've agreed, I'll teach you how to revive a corpse now."
"Watch closely, the incantation must be recited accurately, without the slightest deviation..."
As she explained, she demonstrated with the skull staff, slowing down her speech considerably, as if afraid Zhou Qing wouldn't understand.
Zhou Qing stood to the side, listening intently and nodding occasionally.
Before long, Daisy finished explaining the key points, put away the skull staff, and said, "Alright, those are the basic points. Try it yourself."
"Let me warn you first, don't rush. Many people study for half a year and still can't get the hang of it. It's normal if you can't learn it either."
"However, I still need to have the wolf king's corpse."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Zhou Qing take out an ordinary demon wolf corpse. Following the instructions she had given him, he quickly recited the incantation, gathered a wisp of magic power at his fingertips, and gently touched the head of the demon wolf corpse.
The next second, the previously motionless demonic wolf corpse suddenly twitched, then swayed and stood up, its scarlet eyes lit up, and it lowered its head towards Zhou Qing, clearly having been successfully brought to life!
Daisy was completely dumbfounded, her mouth agape enough to fit an egg, and she didn't even notice when her skull staff fell to the ground.
She pointed at the moving, dead wolf, her voice trembling, "No... really? You learned it? In such a short time?"
"Yeah, I've learned it." Zhou Qing nodded, even manipulating the demon wolf corpse to spin around once. "Looks pretty simple."
"Are you kidding me?!" Daisy instantly bristled, rushing forward to grab Zhou Qing's arm and shaking it violently.
"Did you already know necromancy? Were you pretending you didn't to play me for fools?"
"No, I just learned it." Zhou Qing pushed her away innocently. "You are such a good teacher. You teach so well that I can learn it in no time."
"How is this possible?!" Daisy screamed in despair, tears welling in her eyes. "I spent half a year learning the magic of reviving corpses, and it took me half a year just to get the basics right!"
"How could you possibly learn it after just one listen? That doesn't make sense!"
"Just... do it step by step as you said."
"I thought it would be complicated, but it's actually quite simple."
