Chapter 2596 The Celestial Spirit Clan Really Agreed

When the topic of the meal came up, even this old ancestor of the Heavenly Spirit Clan couldn't help but blush.

After all, just as Ling Yunyi's grandfather said, this was indeed a shameless act.

They're eating someone else's food, yet they're thinking of smashing their pot.

Not to mention, just now when we were with the humans, he was the only one who asked for some food.

Now you turn around and want to kill them again, and even surrender to them. Aren't you shameless?

However, the ancestor of the Celestial Spirit Clan would naturally not admit this, claiming that it was all for the sake of a grander plan.

With the support of other elders, even though Ling Yunyi's grandfather was firmly opposed and hurled extremely harsh insults, nothing changed.

Just like before, it's difficult to support the whole situation alone, which is very distressing.

Now that the decision had been made, it had to be implemented. That very night, the ancestor of the Celestial Spirit Clan, acting as a representative, went to find Elder Huang.

Looking at this old ancestor of the Heavenly Spirit Clan who had come to visit again that night, Elder Huang was still suspicious.

"Is something wrong?"

Could it be that after eating a bowl of rice and tasting it, they decided to keep it? But they've already eaten, and there's nothing left.

Faced with Elder Huang's question, this ancestor of the Heavenly Spirit Clan shamelessly feigned respect and replied.

"Senior Huang, we discussed your suggestion during the day and consulted with the Spirit Ancestor. We all agree that what you said makes sense."

Ok? ? ?

Upon hearing this, Old Huang was slightly taken aback. He had only said it casually; could it be that…?

He felt a sense of anticipation; if he could convince the Celestial Spirit Clan so easily, it would be an absolute steal.

Could there really be some unexpected good news?

Staring intently at the other party, under Elder Huang's gaze, the ancestor of the Heavenly Spirit Clan spoke solemnly.

"As you said, senior, compared to the Sea God, it would be safer for my Celestial Spirit Clan to pledge allegiance to the human race. Therefore, I have come here on behalf of the Celestial Spirit Clan to express our sincerity to you. My Celestial Spirit Clan is willing to pledge allegiance to the human race and serve them."

Have they really defected?

Upon hearing this, Elder Huang couldn't help but feel a surge of joy; the Heavenly Spirit Clan was indeed so sensible.

For a moment, even the gazes directed at this ancestor of the Heavenly Spirit Clan softened considerably.

After all, they've all pledged allegiance to the human race, so they're practically family now.

"Very well, your Heavenly Spirit Clan will not regret today's decision. Since we are all family, I will host a banquet tomorrow to celebrate for both our clans."

"Thank you, senior."

Upon hearing Elder Huang's words, the Heavenly Spirit Clan ancestor's eyes lit up, and the same thought immediately arose in his mind.

There's an unexpected surprise?

This feigned surrender not only temporarily stabilized the human race but also lured them into a meal—a double blessing indeed!

For a moment, the ecstatic joy on the face of this Heavenly Spirit Clan ancestor did not seem fake at all, but was genuine.

The two then chatted for a while before the patriarch of the Celestial Spirit Clan took his leave.

The banquet was arranged for tomorrow evening, and all the patriarchs of the Heavenly Spirit Clan would be there.

It was like a windfall; having gained the submission of the Heavenly Spirit Clan, Elder Huang was clearly in an extremely good mood.

Even when she returned to the backyard, she couldn't help but hum a little tune.

Ye Changqing, Xu Jie, and Zhao Zhengping, who were chatting idly in the courtyard, saw this and Ye Changqing laughed.

"Have you encountered some good news, sir?"

Upon hearing this, Old Huang did not hide anything and spoke frankly.

"Hehe, this is still great news. I never expected that what I said casually during the day would actually come true."

"I thought it was just a casual remark, since I wouldn't have to pay anything. I never expected that the Celestial Spirit Clan would actually agree to join my human race and become a vassal."

"If you want to get someone into Tianchi again, it will be much easier for you, unlike this time."

Old Huang said with a broad smile.

Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed in Ye Changqing's eyes. Had the Heavenly Spirit Clan really agreed?

What's the difference between this and picking up money on the street, especially the kind you pick up along the way?

Something's not right. It's too easy, and there's always something fishy going on when things seem out of the ordinary.

It's like picking up money on the street; you keep picking it up as you walk, and there's money all along the way—that's just one explanation.

That means the money was deliberately dropped; it couldn't possibly have been an accident.

Ye Changqing wasn't overwhelmed by this sudden surprise; his first thought was that something was wrong.

How could a mere few words possibly make an entire clan willingly become your vassal?

It should be noted that after the Celestial Spirits submitted, they were able to enjoy the protection of the human race and ensure their safety.

However, the Celestial Spirit Clan also has to pay a lot in other aspects.

Firstly, it is natural that once the human race goes to war with other extraterrestrial races, the Celestial Spirit Race, as a subordinate race, will naturally have to participate in the war. This is not a matter of whether you are willing or not, but a necessity.

Secondly, there are various resources that your Celestial Spirit Clan must offer as tribute.

The simplest example is Tianchi. If Ye Changqing wants it in the future and persuades the Heavenly Palace to agree, then the Tianling Clan will have to give up their spot.

Half is already a small number; even if you were asked to give up all your spots, we wouldn't have a problem with it.

Therefore, this choice cannot be judged as good or bad; each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

And how long did it take the Celestial Spirit Clan to make such a momentous decision?

The words were spoken in the morning, and the decision was made in the evening; that's incredibly fast.

Not only Ye Changqing, but even Xu Jie noticed the problem.

After all, this kid is always cunning and shrewd; it's almost impossible to fool him with such a small trick.

Therefore, Xu Jie paused for a moment before speaking directly.

"Elder Huang, something's not right about this. The Celestial Spirit Clan is probably not as simple as it seems on the surface; they're likely plotting something. And that so-called Centennial Ceremony before is also full of suspicious points."

Xu Laosan even directly connected it to the previous centennial ceremony.

I was busy preparing ingredients before and didn't have the energy to worry about these things too much. Now that I have some free time, I can easily see that there's a problem, and a big one at that.

Combined with the actions of the ancestors of the Heavenly Spirit Clan today, it makes it even more certain.

These bastards are definitely up to no good.

Ye Changqing agreed with this statement, saying that Xu Jie had never lost when it came to cunning, and listening to him was definitely the right thing to do.

As Xu Jie spoke, Old Huang nodded in agreement, but his smile remained unchanged as he chuckled.

"Haha, you all think there's a problem, do you think I can't see it? That's why I've set up a banquet and invited those old guys from the Heavenly Spirit Clan to attend tomorrow."

“We’ll use the ingredients they offer to the sea god. I want to see if they have any other choice after eating the sea god they offer to themselves.”

this…………………………

Old Huang's move was utterly devastating, making the Tianling Clan eat the sea god they worshipped. If they knew the truth, wouldn't the Tianling Clan's ancestors explode on the spot?
