Chapter 641: A Blessing in Disguise
Alexis looked at Zhao Hai and said, “So, we are now in a completely independent space, and this space belongs to you, Mr. Zhao Hai?”
Zhao Hai nodded and turned to Alexis, saying, “That’s right, this is an independent space, and it is mine. I now grant this ocean to your Sea Dragon Clan. From now on, this ocean will be your home. You can hunt magical beasts in the sea, but there are some special magical beasts that you cannot kill, as they are raised by me.”
Alexis turned to look at the seemingly endless ocean in the space, then turned back to Zhao Hai and suddenly knelt on one knee, saying, “Alexis pays respects to the family head!”
Alexis now understood what kind of existence this space was. He was very clear that in this space, the Sea Dragon Clan could not cause any disturbance. For him, there was no need to create any trouble; was there a better place in this world? The entire ocean was theirs, so what else could they want? Thus, he addressed Zhao Hai as the family head, signifying his full acknowledgment of Zhao Hai as their sect master, a title he had previously been calling Zhao Hai “Mr.”.
Zhao Hai looked at Alexis and said, “Get up. From now on, just call me young master. Since your Sea Dragon Clan has decided to follow me, you must be mentally prepared. Our future enemies are the divine race’s demon clan, the Church of Light, and the Dragon Clan. I must eliminate the chess pieces left by the divine race. Originally, your Sea Dragon Clan was also on this list, but now that you have chosen to follow me, you are naturally my subordinates. However, if I need the Sea Dragon Clan in the future, you cannot refuse. Do you understand?”
Alexis solemnly replied, “Yes, I understand, young master.”
Zhao Hai nodded and then summoned Cai'er, saying, “This is Cai'er, the manager I have appointed for this space. I may not stay in the space for too long. If you have any issues, just find Cai'er. If anything comes up on my end, I will have Cai'er contact you. However, most of the time, I won’t have much going on, so what you need to do now is to settle in here.”
Alexis nodded and said, “Yes, young master. Actually, having the Dragon Palace is enough for us to live.”
Zhao Hai nodded, saying, “Alright, then you can settle in here. I still need to meet Luo Ying and stabilize the situation on the surface of the sea. Luckily, you didn’t succeed this time; otherwise, if the divine race had gained control of the Endless Sea as a stronghold, they could have attacked and retreated at will. At that point, it would be impossible to fight back. By the way, Alexis, how much do you know about the divine race? Do you know when they will launch their attack?”
Alexis shook his head and said, “I’m sorry, young master, but we really don’t know. Although we have collaborated with the Church of Light and the Dragon Clan, it hasn’t been long since we began cooperating. They only said they were working for the divine race, but they wouldn’t tell me when the divine race would attack. They still do not fully trust me, and because of this reason, I chose to side with you, young master.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Then forget it. You go settle your clan members. Cai'er will inform you which magical beasts in the sea cannot be touched and which ones you can hunt freely. I’ll be leaving now.” Alexis bowed to Zhao Hai, and then Zhao Hai disappeared from the spot.
At that moment, Cai'er looked at Alexis and said, “You are the one young master took in?”
Alexis looked at Cai'er, honestly unsure of what race she belonged to. He had seen other races with similar height as Cai'er in the sea, but it was clear that Cai'er could not be one of the sea tribe people. He had never heard of any race like Cai'er on the continent.
However, Alexis nodded and said, “Yes.”
Cai'er snorted coldly, and a wave of pressure emanated from her, pinning Alexis down. Alexis looked at Cai'er in shock. He never expected Cai'er to be so strong; the pressure from her made it impossible for him to move even as a ninth-level expert. Under this pressure, Alexis found he couldn’t transform into his battle armor or dragon form. It was terrifying.
