I Am Overlord

Chapter 721: Alliance

The visitors were a pleasant surprise for Xiang Shaoyun as they were Han Chenfei and the Han Clan sisters. He found that Han Chenfei's strength had grown yet again, while the sisters had grown even more, reaching second-stage Dragon Ascension Realm. Before this, they were only peak Kings. With them reaching second-stage Dragon Ascension Realm, one could say that they had caught up with the other disciples.

Xiang Shaoyun could also sense an entirely different temperament from them. Their Icefrost Physiques had actually been completed, the hidden danger in their bodies resolved.

When the sisters saw him, they stepped forth and bowed. "Thank you for saving our lives, Young Master Xiang."

Without Xiang Shaoyun bringing them to the Dragon Phoenix Academy, they wouldn't have met Han Chenfei. Without Xiang Shaoyun helping them get the crystals of extreme cold, they would not have resolved the flaws in their physiques. Furthermore, Xiang Shaoyun had also saved them many times. Thus, he was worthy of this bow.

He said, "Alright, you don't have to keep thanking me. We are friends. You don't have to be overly courteous with me."

The sisters raised their heads and gazed at him with gratitude, their hearts completely captured by him. He was a man that had helped and saved their lives several times. For them, he was the kind of man worth marrying.

Han Chenfei had told them that if they could capture his heart and make him work for the Glacier Palace, she wouldn't mind them being with him. One ought to admit that this was a beautiful scheme. However, she was also clear that Xiang Shaoyun was not the type of man to submit to others.

"Young Master Xiang, what do you think about allying for our trip to the Gleamstar Blessed Land?" Han Chenfei went straight to the point.

The Gleamstar Blessed Land was the place where the gleamstar water could be found. It was a unique restricted space, and only those at the Emperor Realm or lower could enter. After losing Leng Feng and Han Lingshuang, Han Chenfei's Glacier Palace had weakened considerably. Hence, it was understandable why she was proposing this cooperation with Xiang Shaoyun.

After all, the Sword Society, the Crushing Sky, the Flaming Sun, and the other super factions would also partake in the mission. Thus, their probability of getting the gleamstar water was low. Han Chenfei might be strong, but the Glacier Palace as a whole was not strong enough. She had no choice but to seek external help.

Xiang Shaoyun looked at her with an amused expression. "The Glacier Palace is allying with us? Don't tell me you are not strong enough to face the other factions?"

Han Chenfei smiled. "This time, the academy's many factions will take part. So, is Overlord Legion capable of contending against the likes of the Sword Society, the Crushing Sky, and the Flaming Sun?"

Xiang Shaoyun was slightly stunned as he answered, "We really can't."

During this period of time, Xiang Shaoyun had been considering the same question. Although the Overlord Legion had expanded in size, they might still not be able to work well together during the fight for the gleamstar water.

Furthermore, the other factions were powerful with strong soldiers, far surpassing the Overlord Legion. Even if he was strong, it would still be considered a failure if he couldn't let the entirety of the Overlord Legion profit. Thus, Han Chenfei's proposal was, in fact, very agreeable.

"So, do you think we should ally?" Han Chenfei asked.

Xiang Shaoyun nodded without hesitation. "We should."

"Excellent!" Eyes rippling with a bright light, Han Chenfei asked, "Are you not afraid that Holy Maiden Yu will be angry?"

"Why would she be angry?" Xiang Shaoyun asked in confusion.

"Our cooperation. Are you not afraid she will misunderstand our relationship?" Han Chenfei asked.

Xiang Shaoyun rubbed his nose and said, "What is there to misunderstand? In fact, I'm more worried that Huang Tianji will come looking for trouble."

"Hehe, that is what I wish to see," said Han Chenfei as a smile bloomed on her face.

Looking at her smiling face that was beautiful enough to melt icebergs, he thought, This is indeed an alluring woman. For some reason, Xiang Shaoyun suddenly recalled the woman trapped in the ice coffin in the Deep Tidalwave.

That woman was so gorgeous that no words could aptly describe her beauty. He could not understand why that woman was there, and he also wondered if the black tortoise was in charge of guarding her. The series of questions caused his curiosity to rise.

"Are you thinking of Holy Maiden Yu? You're actually blanking out in front of three beauties like us?" Han Chenfei asked with a reproachful tone.

Her words roused Xiang Shaoyun from his thoughts, and he said, "Yes, I am, but now is not the time to think about her. I am actually thinking about how we should cooperate."

"An alliance means we will be moving together. What is there to think about?" Han Chenfei asked.

"No, I think it will be better for us to form a secret alliance. What do you think?" Xiang Shaoyun said.

Han Chenfei gave it some thought before she smiled and said, "How surprising, you are really thoughtful. That is a decent idea."

"Um. We'll need to control what our people say so others won't find out about this," said Xiang Shaoyun.

"Ok. I'll go back and make the arrangements," said Han Chenfei. She acted immediately and said to the sisters, "You can stay and have a chat with him before leaving."

She then left. The sisters remained.

Xiang Shaoyun said to them, "Since you are already following Han Chenfei, you shouldn't stay."

Nobody would wish for their subordinates to be loyal to others.

Han Xuewei mustered her courage and said, "In truth, she already told us before coming that if Young Master Xiang was willing, we could stay by your side."

The moment she had spoken, a trace of red had covered her face. Evidently, she felt somewhat shy saying those words.

Han Qianwei also added, "That's right. We wish to stay by your side and take care of your everyday life."

Xiang Shaoyun frowned and said, "Nonsense. You're actually taking those words seriously? Go back! I do not need to be taken care of!"

"No, we refuse! We like you!" Han Xuewei shouted, no longer able to keep her feelings hidden.

Han Qianwei fixed her eyes on Xiang Shaoyun, waiting for his answer.

Xiang Shaoyun was slightly stunned. He took in a long breath before he said solemnly, "I appreciate it, but I really only see both of you as friends."

Tears dripped down as the sisters heard his words.
