After settling Xie Qing King in the shelter, Han Sen returned to the Alliance.
Xie Qing King had asked Han Sen to bring him books, but Han Sen wasn't sure what he should bring. He couldn't just give Xie Qing King any book he wanted, as that would be leaking information about humans to the spirits. Han Sen didn't want to do something like that.
But that was one of the conditions of Xie Qing King's cooperation. Han Sen wanted to take down Holy-Sword Shelter with him, so he couldn't refuse.
While he was hesitating, Han Sen saw a show playing on the screen. His eyes brightened, and he had an idea.
Han Sen connected to the Skynet and downloaded a lot of books. He was going to bring them to Xie Qing King in the sanctuaries.
"This won't do. We should treat our non-human friends with more warmth and care."
Han Sen put down the box and ordered a few more things on Skynet. When they were delivered, Han Sen took them all to the shelter.
It had only been a day, but Xie Qing King was getting impatient. He wanted to tear down the entire shelter, and Han Sen didn't know how he had managed to survive a hundred thousand years in captivity.
Fortunately, Xie Qing King was a man of his word. He didn't hurt anyone in the shelter, but Lin He and the others were scared. Many people returned to the Alliance, and when Xie Qing King was there, they didn't dare enter the shelter again.
Only Bao 'er wasn't afraid of him. She often rode on Xie Qing King's head, and he didn't do anything to her.
"What are these?"
Xie Qing King's eyes opened wide as he stared at the boxes. He had no idea what was inside.
"You'll find out in a moment."
He asked Xie Qing King, "I brought you the book, but can you read our language?" "Yes," Xie Qing King said, "But can you read our language?"
"Human language is too simple. Each word corresponds to a different sound. It's just a small branch of spirit language. I can understand it." Xie Qing King smiled.
"So you can understand it. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to understand it, so I specially brought you some books with pictures, so that it would be convenient for you to start learning."
Han Sen pushed one of the boxes over to Xie Qing King and said, "There are books here. If you don't like them, I'll bring you more next time."
"Okay." Xie Qing King thought Han Sen was a good person, and he thought Han Sen was a good person.
"My Emperor, why don't you read first? I'll prepare some human food for you to try. Oh, and here's some snacks for you to eat while you read." Han Sen opened another box and brought out a bunch of snacks and drinks for Xie Qing King.
Xie Qing King was starting to think humans were good people. At least, Han Sen was a good person.
Han Sen brought out a couch for Xie Qing King to sit on while he read. Han Sen cooked. His cooking skills were average, but compared to spirits, he was a genius.
Spirits in God's Sanctuary did not care about such things. The most they would do was eat geno fruits and evolve. They did not care about the taste of food.
"Don't bother. I don't need to eat. Just bring me more books," Xie Qing King said to Han Sen, as he flipped through a book.
"Of course! This is a human etiquette. You can eat whatever you like," Han Sen said seriously. "You can eat whatever you like."
"Is that so?
Okay. "
Xie Qing King looked at Bao 'er, who was stuffing snacks into her mouth. He grabbed a bag and tore it open like Bao' er did.
As Han Sen cooked, he watched Xie Qing King munch on his snacks with a smile.
A door to a new world had opened.
In the Alliance, Han Sen was preparing to attack Holy-Sword Shelter. If he didn't get rid of Holy-Sword Emperor, they wouldn't be able to live in peace.
Han Sen's phone rang, and when he saw it was Yanran, he quickly picked it up.
"Baby, when will you come home and stay for a few days?" Han Sen looked at Ji Yanran in the virtual image and asked.
Ji Yanran said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to for a while. We're negotiating with the shura to develop a crystallizer ruin. I'll be there as a human leader."
"Developing a crystallizer ruin with the shura?"
Han Sen was shocked. Although the relationship between the humans and the shura was relatively peaceful, and there were no major battles taking place between them, the relationship between the two was not so good that they were willing to work together to explore Crystallizer Ruins.
Ji Yanran understood Han Sen's confusion, and she explained, "There are some places in the ruin that require the shura's help. That's why we have to work with them."
"That sounds dangerous. You're just an evolver. Why would they choose you as a leader?" Han Sen frowned.
"It's one of the shura's conditions."
Ji Yanran laughed at herself and said, "In their eyes, I am the princess of the human race. They have sent a royal and a prince to participate in this cooperation. That is why they want me to join as well."
"Are all of the royal shura participating in this development?" Han Sen's face changed. He knew what this meant.
"Don't worry, the surpassers with me will be the best of the best. They'll protect me." Ji Yanran smiled.
"I want to go," Han Sen said, looking at Ji Yanran.
Ji Yanran smiled and said, "Honey, it's fine. The people I'm going with are all top-class surpassers with eight gene locks open. The crystallizer ruin is limited to sixteen people at most. Eight of the shura, and eight of us. We've already decided who we're going with, and we can't change that."
"I don't care. If you're going, then I'm going. If you don't, then you don't have to go."
Ji Yanran wished to say something, but Han Sen hung up and called Ji Yanran.
"Why did you send Ji Yanran to such a dangerous place? She is your daughter, isn't she?" Han Sen asked Ji Ruozhen with an upset tone.
"Because she's my daughter, she has to go. The discovery of this crystallizer ruin is very important to the Alliance." Ji Ruozhen looked calm, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"She's not just your daughter; she's my wife," Han Sen said, looking at Ji Ruozhen. "You can let her go, but I have to go."
"We can only send eight people. The people with her will be the best of the best. They'll protect her. Let the professionals do the work." Ji Ruozhen frowned.
"Let me go, or I'll go and bring her back right now," Han Sen said firmly. He wasn't going to compromise.
