Chapter 616: Fang Mu's Second Dao Protector!
Lendai had already prepared to pay compensation before making her request.
However, even if Lendai wished to enhance her Bloodline and achieve a Bloodline Transformation, not all prices could be paid!
Firstly, as the King of the Han Yang Empire, Lendai could not do anything that would harm the Han Yang Empire or even endanger the entire Sea Clan.
Fang Mu, having already thought of what he wanted Lendai to do, spoke to her with sincere tones.
"Lendai senior, you must be aware that helping you enhance your Bloodline is not an easy task, and my master, being a Saint Creator of the humans, might get affected if the news of him helping the King of the Sea Clan enhance her Bloodline gets out."
"Therefore, my first request is that you must ensure that you do not disclose the matter of my master helping you enhance your Bloodline."
Upon hearing this, Lendai nodded and said,
"It is only natural, I would never allow Master Qixing to be placed in an unjust position!"
This first request from Qixing made Lendai realize that her requests were being taken seriously by Qixing, rather than him merely throwing impossible demands to brush her off.
Having received Lendai's response, Fang Mu continued,
"The second request is that I hope the Infinite Tower can form a defensive and offensive alliance with the Han Yang Empire, with both parties becoming allies."
Fang Mu paused before adding,
"The Infinite Tower is a force created by my master."
Upon hearing this second request relayed by Fang Mu, Lendai agreed without hesitation.
If Fang Mu had suggested forming an alliance with the Contract Garden or the entire Human Forces, Lendai would have hesitated or even refused.
Facing the Contract Garden or all of humanity, with many forces in the grand scheme, the Han Yang Empire might have to lobby for the Contract Garden and the entirety of humanity, essentially placing the Han Yang Empire in an unfavorable position.
However, forming an alliance exclusively with the force established by Saint Creator Qixing would indeed be beneficial to the Han Yang Empire.
Lendai had not heard of the power known as the Infinite Tower before. As one of the three grand Saint Creators, it was unlikely that Qixing's founded force had not made a significant impact unless it was purposely maintaining a low profile.
After forming a defensive and offensive alliance with the Infinite Tower, there would indeed be many tasks for the Han Yang Empire to handle.
Yet, the Han Yang Empire would also have the opportunity to obtain resources equivalent to those of a Saint Creator from the Infinite Tower.
"It is an honor for me and the Han Yang Empire to form a defensive and offensive alliance with the Infinite Tower. I believe both parties will indeed become close partners in the future!"
"Master Qixing must have other requests, right? As long as it doesn't harm the interests of the Sea Clan, I am willing to agree!"
Fang Mu's tone became solemn.
"The requirement put forward by my master will certainly not force Lendai junior to betray the Sea Clan, but this request will impose a certain restraint on you."
"It is said that Merfolk can bless other creatures through their Bloodline. My master hopes you can bless me."
"And that when needed, I might be able to draw upon the strength of Lendai senior!"
"Every time Lendai senior aids us, we will provide you with resources corresponding to a Saint Creator level to help continue your Bloodline breakthroughs!"
"Lendai senior has always emphasized not endangering the Sea Clan, and I also need you to assure me."
"Lendai senior must not harm humans after enhancing your strength through your Bloodline!"
Fang Mu, having read ancient texts before, knew that Merfolk could bless other creatures through their Bloodline.
The creatures blessed would receive great benefits.
Fang Mu thought to seize this opportunity to secure this advantage from Lendai!
Lendai remained silent for a long while after hearing Fang Mu's words, all of Fang Mu's requests fell within her expectations.
For Saint Creator Qixing, the most useful aspect was strength.
If Qixing did not value her strength, there was nothing else worth scheming for!
Lendai indeed had not expected Qixing to ask her to bless Fang Mu, his Disciple.
Indeed, Merfolk could bless other creatures, but a Mermaid could only bless one creature in their lifetime.
Normally, Merfolk saved their blessings for their Direct Descendants to aid in their growth.
After receiving a blessing, the living creature's physical condition, spiritual power, and affinity with the Water Element all improved rapidly.
It even partially increased their Soul Energy, and this kind of blessing was most significant for marine creatures.
After blessing a human, it would at least allow the human to breathe and move in water as freely as on land.
Lendai had no offspring, otherwise, she might have already bestowed her blessing.
As for granting the blessing to Fang Mu, Lendai was not resistant internally; her ongoing hesitation without response was because she needed time to resolve her thoughts.
After stating his demands, Fang Mu locked his gaze onto Lendai without a hint of retreat.
Fang Mu's requests were not made waiting for Lendai to bargain; if Lendai was unwilling, Fang Mu would no longer continue to help Lendai enhance her Bloodline.
The length of Lendai's contemplation did not seem like bad news to Fang Mu.
If Lendai was dissatisfied with his conditions, she could directly refuse him. Lendai's hesitation indicated that his request fell into a gray area for her.
