Chapter 539: Blind – Short Ear (2 in 1)

Another supporter? The elders who were shocked by the level 10 Warrior Weapon all realized what was going on. If they didn't show their support for Lucifer Lucy now, how could they get close to Jiliu Feijing?
Swear Loyalty? All the elders of the Mamen Clan knew what was going on and they rushed towards Lucifer Lucy as if they were rushing to stores on Black Friday. They were all afraid of being the last person to swear their loyalty.
Saber Sage and Box Lee signaled to the elders anxiously, this wasn't a part of the plan. The two leaders of the Mamen Clan were supposed to be the demons who supported Lucifer Lucy and all the elders were supposed to go against them.
”Why can't you think of the bigger picture at this moment?” Saber Sage and Box Lee both thought.
”Bigger picture?” the elders all looked back with disdain. ”Why should we be the ones to think about the bigger picture? And why should you guys be the ones to get most of the benefits? If this mixed-blood was only a little bit better than Boblonso, we can still stick to the plan and think about the bigger picture. But this mixed-blood literally gave out a level 10 Warrior Weapon as a gift! Think about the bigger picture? The other demons should think about the bigger picture! I need to get close to this mixed-blood!” All the elders thought about this.
”This mixed-blood gave out a level 10 Warrior Weapon! Think about the bigger picture? Fu*k that! You go and think about the bigger picture! I will focus on other stuff!”
Chaos! It was all messed up.
As Qian Jin gave out a level 10 Warrior Weapon, all the elders who were persuaded by the two leaders instantly changed their minds. The appearance of the level 10 Warrior Weapon inside the Mamen Clan created a huge mess.
The other demon species might honor the agreements they made but not Mamen Demons. As a demon species who dared to betray the Demon King, there wasn't anything that they didn't dare to do if the profits were great enough.
The value of a level 10 Warrior Weapon was enough to make these demons go crazy. They all wanted their descendants to be powerful, they all wanted their descendants to become the leader of the Mamen Clan, and they all wanted their descendants to become the future Demon King.
Even if some of the elders didn't think that far, they all wanted to survive a little bit longer on the Human-Demon Battlefront. On the dangerous Human-Demon Battlefront, even Ultimate Bloodline Warriors who achieved Ultimate Awakening couldn't say that they were safe, let alone Bloodline Warriors who only achieved Heavenly Awakening and Earthly Awakening.
If a Heavenly Awakened Bloodline Warrior exposed himself and was targeted by a few other Heavenly Awakened Bloodline Mages, he or she was very likely to die on the battlefield. Even if a dozen Earthly Awakened Bloodline Mages created a magic array and targeted him or her, he or she could die as well.
With the help of a level 10 Warrior Weapon, warriors could live a bit longer. Especially when the opponent was within the same realm, a top-tier Warrior Weapon could be the determining factor of victory.
Lucifer Lucy was feeling really good as a bunch of powerful and influential Mamen Demons kneeled down in front of her. Although she was determined to become the new ruler of the land, she didn't expect to see such a magnificent scene.
”Great... I sensed your earnest.” Lucifer smiled and replied. ”All rise. We can sign a cooperation agreement later on.”
All the elders froze a little. But after they looked at Qian Jin again, they grit their teeth and nodded
A verbal agreement wasn't useful. Lucifer Lucy knew that and the elders of the Mamen Clan knew that as well. Throughout history, only the written loyalty agreement that was aligned with the format recorded in the [Demon Code] was binding.
Once that agreement was made, it was enforceable. Even though Mamen Demons were greedy, they didn't want to dishonor that agreement.
If they did that, no other demon species would trust them, and no other demon species would buy their resources.
The Mamen Demons were greedy, and they focused on business. Without trust, no other demons would buy from them. Without business, how could they maintain their greed and cheat others here and there?
The agreement? If they didn't see how generous Qian Jin was, they might have to think about it. But only idiots would still need to think about it.
Hesitation? Any hesitation would lead to loses in the future.
All the elders of the Mamen Clan rushed to sign on the agreement, it felt like they were afraid of not being able to sign it.
After seeing how all the elders except Saber Nisfur were behaving, the two leaders of the Mamen Clan knew that they couldn't do anything about it. This Jiliu Feijing was too generous and all these elders who had seen a lot of treasures couldn't resist it.
After the agreement was signed, all the elders circled around Lucifer Lucy and started to flatter her. Some shameless elders even said that they held her before when she was a baby in order to make them seem closer.
Some elder directly asked Lucifer Lucy is Jiliu Feijing was married, and they also asked if he liked Mamen beauties.
”My daughter is the no.1 beauty among all female Mamen Demons...”
Before one elder could finish speaking, he was disrupted by elders who also had daughters. They all told Qian Jin that their daughters were the no.1 beauty and asked him if he was married. If he wasn't, they were willing to make him their son-in-law. If he was, it didn't matter. They all said that they were willing to make their daughters Qian Jin's concubines.
Qian Jin who heard all these proposals was sweating. ”All these Mamen Demons are greedy! They are willing to do anything to get benefits!” he thought.
In the meantime, the two leaders of the Mamen Clan talked with each other and walked towards Qian Jin.
After they pulled on Qian Jin's sleeve quietly, Qian Jin got curiously and walked to a quiet corner with them. Box Lee rubbed his hands and said, ”So it is like this... Master Feijing... You are a half Mamen Demon...”
Qian Jin nodded, and Box Lee let go of the breath that he was holding in as he felt relieved. He was afraid that this mixed-blood demon hated his own bloodlines like the most mixed-blood demons.
”We are thinking about this... Since you are a half Mamen Demon, but our clan hadn't done much for you. We are feeling really sorry about it.” Saber Sage added, ”Therefore, we... we want to invite you to become an Assisting Elder of the Mamen Clan. What do you think about this compensation...”
”Assisting Elder?” Qian Jin frowned. He was actually laughing in his mind. ”Compensation? What kind of compensation is this? If I became the Assisting Elder, that means I'm closer to you guys.”
”Assisting Elder... Oh!” Box Lee patted his head and said, ”We didn't explain properly. Assisting Elder is a special position in the Mamen Clan. You don't need to contribute to the clan and you don't even need to listen to the leaders of the clan. You are you and you can use most of the resources in our clan. We just really want to become friends with you...”
”What?” Qian Jin thought, ”Only benefits and no responsibilities?”
He immediately realized what would happen. There weren't many shameless demons in the world and there weren't many demons who would only take and not give back. If the leaders came to ask for a favor, most of the Assisting Elders would listen and help.
”Eh.” Box Lee nodded quickly and followed up, ”We just want to express our earnest attention.”
”Leaders! The matter of Assisting Elder needs to be passed by the Elder Council first! How can you guys go ahead with it without our approval?”
An elder who had a good hearing heard this and shouted, and he instantly attracted the attention of all the elders. All the elders rushed over in one second.
”That is right. Our Elder Council needs to approve it! Master Feijing, don't worry! We all support the decision of making you our Assisting Elder! Even if the leaders don't want to, we will push it through and...”
Qian Jin shrugged his shoulder and thought, ”I became the Assisting Elder of the Mamen Clan like this? This... wait, wasn't I betting with Boblonso? Where is that dwarf?”
In the crowd, dwarf Boblonso was kneeling on the ground as he was in a strange state, it felt like he was completely destroyed.
In the last ten days, he was shocked by Qian Jin's technique again and again.
In the last ten days, he wanted to learn some of Qian Jin's techniques in secret. He knew his level would improve a lot even if he only learned a little.
However, after the ten days passed, he didn't learn anything. With his eyes wide open, he was trying hard to understand some techniques. Despite the fact that his white eyeballs were all red, he didn't know how Qian Jin used his god-like techniques.
A huge difference... Boblonso felt like he wasted more than half of his life. It felt like all of his proud techniques were weak and useless in the eyes of this young mixed-blood demon and he was only an apprentice.
Although they were both Forge Grandmasters, the difference was huge. There wasn't just difference in technique but also in knowledge and accumulation. Boblonso felt like he was a droplet of water and this Jiliu Feijing was an ocean.
Qian Jin walked to Boblonso and squatted down to take a better look at this dwarf who said he was going to break Qian Jin's limps and throw Qian Jin into a pit of lustful beasts.
”Your turn.” Qian Jin said quietly.
This quiet voice was like a thunder in Boblonso's ears.
