Heavenly Harem Sect -
Chapter 271 - 271: Repay and Request
[: 3rd Pov :]
"You're too kind, Sect Master." The Empress replied with a smile and a delicate tone.
"I was worried you might not want to meet us because of our lack of power." She said with a sense of vulnerability.
She had concerns with a genuine fear of being dismissed.
Daniel met her gaze with understanding with his eyes reflecting kindness.
"Why would I be angry at the two of you?" he questioned gently.
"The two of you have come a long way, so it would be a waste if I just sent you away." He said as he glanced at both of them.
"In addition, you've shown your sincerity in finding the Heavenly Harem Sect by trying to reach me," He added.
The Empress could only nod at his reasoning, understanding that the Sect Master would not have called them for no reason.
"That said, you didn't have to try and call the sect's name. I was observing the two of you the whole time,"
Daniel stated, his words catching both the Empress and Tilith off-guard.
"You were observing us the whole time...?"
"Yes. You can say it's my way of testing'' Daniel declared.
''So...did we pass the test?'' The Empress questioned nervously.
''Certainly you have'' Daniel replied with a smile.
The Empress heaved a sigh of relief.
"I didn't know that the two of you would put so much effort into finding the sect, and even after a week, you've kept on looking for the Heavenly Harem Sect," He continued as he chuckled.
"So, it's safe to say that your actions have proven the sincerity to meet the sect."
Upon hearing his explanation, the Empress's lips curled into a smile.
"So, the two of you can rest easy''
Hearing the Sect Master's words, the Empress smiled.
"Thank you, Sect Master, for accepting our request"
She said as she bowed.
"No need to thank me," He reassured her.
''Moreover, I wonder what's the reason behind your visit?'' Daniel questioned.
''The reason for the Empress coming here has sparked my curiosity,'' He stated.
Hearing his question, the Empress turned to face her daughter.
She looked at her as a gesture for her to speak and Tilith, understanding her meaning, replied.
"The purpose of our visit here is to thank the Sect Master for saving me...'' Tilith answered with gratitude in her eyes.
''I, as the Empress and as Tilith's Mother would also like to thank the sect master for saving my daughter's life'' She followed her daughter's action.
''I was worried and scared about her and didn't know what to do. I'm forever indebted to the Sect Master for saving my daughter's life and protecting her until we were reunited''
Tilith nodded in agreement to her mother's statement.
"The Empress and I are forever indebted to the Sect Master and as a sign of repayment, please accept these gifts of mine''
The Empress took out a couple of gifts and she placed them on the table.
''Hmm? What are these?'' Daniel curiously asked as he gazed at the gifts.
"These are items that could only be obtained from the Hidden Realms or Ancient Realms, they can also be said to be a treasure that is extremely rare to obtain" The Empress replied.
"This is a bracelet that can only be obtained in the Hidden Realm. It can heal all internal injuries, and it's a priceless item"
Daniel took a look at the bracelet.
"What a beautiful bracelet" Daniel exclaimed as he looked at the bracelet in awe.
Other than the bracelet, there were storage rings where inside them, there were countless treasures and they were given to Daniel.
Even though Daniel had no use for them, he took it as a sign of acknowledgement.
Moreover, he couldn't turn away Tilith's wish to repay him.
''On the other hand, this is a token that represents the status of an Emperor or an Empress'' Lilith passed a green token in the shape of a dragon to Daniel.
Daniel examined the dragon-shaped token with a raised eyebrow.
He was both curious and suspicious towards her reason for giving him the token.
"Empress, this token symbolizes your authority and status. What's your reason?"
He questioned and his tone was slightly cold.
The Empress met his gaze and she trembled slightly under his gaze.
"Sect Master, to be honest, I didn't think much of the Heavenly Harem Sect, but after entering this realm, I realized that your sect isn't something that I can handle''
She explained and Daniel touched his chin as he contemplated, with that, she continued explaining.
''With that reason, I know that handing my status and authority to you has more merits than disadvantages'' She added before taking a huge breathe.
''Moreover, having that token would make it easier for you to conquer cities and I would join your conquest of cities'' Lilith said.
Tilith, sitting beside her mother, nodded in agreement. "That's true sect master. We're here not to take advantage, but rather, we want to be part of it''
Daniel studied their expressions, sensing the sincerity in their words.
A moment of silence lingered in the room before he smiled.
"I understand, then, I won't hesitate to take this token and I'll also forgive the Empress for her men attacking my disciples''
Daniel smiled and he never forgot the incidents where the imperials had attacked his disciples.
''But don't worry, I won't take it to heart'' Daniel smiled as he kept the token.
Initially, the Empress and Tilith were relaxed, however, when they heard that their men had attacked his disciples, they panicked internally.
Their bodies even trembled and even the Empress trembled with fear on her eyes.
But afterwards, their expressions changed and they relaxed.
Even so, the Empress wouldn't forget Daniel's words and in her mind, she promised herself to erase every trace of those who had attacked his disciples.
Even though Daniel had forgiven them, there was no telling what he could do.
Hence, the Empress removed every possible threat that could erase her and her daughter's life.
"Now, with these aside, let's move to the main reason for your visit," Daniel continued, his gaze shifting between the mother and daughter.
"You mentioned you wanted to express your gratitude, but there seems to be more to your visit"
''After all, no matter what, there's no way you would hand over the token over a simple reason, so speak of your true purpose'' Daniel said.
Empress Lilith exchanged a glance with Tilith before sighing with a smile.
"Sect Master, apart from expressing our gratitude, we also seek an alliance'' She revealed.
''But why?'' Daniel questioned.
''I'm sure that the Imperial Families are not lacking in terms of powers and resources and you even have half-immortals on your side'' Daniel said.
''Moreover, even you are a Half-Immortal'' Daniel pointed out.
''Even you knew that'' Lilith smiled as she didn't have to hide or even reveal that particular information.
''So what could threaten your Empire where even you are concerned by it'' Daniel said.
''Well, the reason is that the Forces of Kaos are becoming more active, and having the Heavenly Harem Sect as an ally would benefit me'' She revealed.
Tilith nodded in agreement. "We believe that with the Sect's strength and influence, we can once and for all remove every Kaos force from this world''
Daniel listened attentively, his expression thoughtful.
''Oh? So it's the Kaos force again'' Daniel laughed.
''Sect Master...?'' Lilith wondered why he was laughing.
''So they're still causing trouble for you as well?'' He questioned with a smile.
''It seems both of us have the same aim'' Daniel said.
Empress Lilith stared at him in confusion.
"Are you against the Forces of Kaos?" Her voice was tinged with curiosity and wonder.
Daniel nodded.
"Indeed. It's a long story, but let's just say they've been a thorn in my side," He answered.
''Moreover, I have already started a war with them'' Daniel smirked.
Upon hearing that, both of them trembled.
They never expected him to personally start a war with kaos force, but at the same time, this makes it easier for them.
"I can understand the Empress' intentions and I'll be willing to forge an alliance with you."
Upon hearing his acceptance, the Empress' eyes brightened and her smile was radiant.
"That's great! Thank you, Sect Master, for accepting this old lady's proposal."
"Haha, you don't have to mention it. Since you're the one asking for an alliance, I have no reason to reject,"
"I'll make sure that this alliance will benefit both the Sect and the Empire" Daniel declared.
"Thank you, Sect Master. With this, we can be relieved of our worries" The Empress thanked.
"Since the two of you have already made your requests, then let me make mine," Daniel smirked.
Lilith and Tilith had a question mark on their heads and Daniel said, ''The gifts just now aren't counted''
''For accepting your alliance, of course, there would be another form of request'' Daniel smirked.
''What request do you have sect master? I will try to fulfill it as much as I can'' The Empress understood and she didn't disagree with it.
Daniel gaze over their bodies with a smirk before he declared, ''I want both of you to be mine''.
