Marriage Alliance

Qi waved his hand. "Sir, you flatter me. Everything was merely for the sake of self-preservation."

He then slightly furrowed his brows. "According to what you said, sir, we'll have to continue hiding ourselves from now on."

Yi Yin nodded, his expression turning solemn. "The position of Human Emperor is empowered by the Fortune of the entire Primordial Continent, and its great power belongs to the one who holds it."

"We must be even more careful in our actions. Moreover, we must be prepared to be discovered at any time."

"So we must also find a reliable external ally. At the same time, dismantling a Fortune Dynasty isn't so easy."

"It may not be something our generation can accomplish. Young Master, are you willing to hand power over to those who come after us?"

Yi Yin stared intently at Qi, wanting to see his reaction.

Qi smiled faintly. "It doesn't matter. Each generation has its own task. As long as I can lay a solid foundation for those who come after us, that will be enough."

A sharp glint flashed through Yi Yin's eyes. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Since Young Master has such aspirations, I will make a bold proposal—Marriage alliance."

Qi raised his brows slightly. "Oh?"

"If the Shang Kingdom is to continue its Fortune, it must ensure that there is a successor." Yi Yin's expression was solemn.

"Moreover, although the Shang Kingdom's Fortune has been concealed, it is still growing rapidly, far exceeding that of vassal kingdoms of the same level. This can easily arouse suspicion."

"Besides, although the Shang Kingdom must remain hidden, it cannot conceal itself completely. It also needs to reveal some of its extraordinary qualities."

"Otherwise, no talented people will come to join us, and the Shang Kingdom's development will stagnate.
