Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

S-Class Alien Embryos were limited to only five, nowhere near enough to distribute, if distribution were a possibility Han Ming himself would have desired to retain an S-Class Alien Embryo for experiments!

To Creators, experiments are the best standard to test the truth.

Han Ming kept Zhuang Herui around to inquire about the situation with Fang Mu.

During this period, Zhuang Herui had been busy collecting extraterrestrial embryos, and Han Ming wanted to know the details of the conversation between Zhuang Herui and Fang Mu.

After everyone else had dispersed, Zhuang Herui approached Han Ming and bowed, waiting for his mentor's inquiry.

"Xiaorui, have you acquired any information about Qixing from the disciple Jianmu?"

Zhuang Herui shook his head upon hearing this.

"Teacher Jianmu is very cautious in his speech and has not revealed anything about Qixing."

"The level of caution from Jianmu suggests it's almost impossible to glean information about Qixing from him!"

When only Han Ming and Zhuang Herui were left, they would refer to each other as mentor and disciple. Zhuang Herui could tell that his teacher, Han Ming, was very concerned about Qixing, this Saint Creator who had suddenly emerged.

In the past, Han Ming had always been the absolute Dominator in the Ten-thousand Nations Federation. Even though the Eternal Mother Yongle became a Saint Creator, she was always at a disadvantage in her confrontations with Han Ming.

Yet, with the emergence of Qixing, after merely two gatherings at the Contract Garden, he had eclipsed his own teacher Han Ming.

To be fair, even as a disciple of Han Ming, Zhuang Herui held Qixing in high regard.

Qixing had paid a great price in light of the disaster brought by the tide, and compared to him, his own teacher Han Ming didn't come off as dignified, still single-mindedly focused on the development of the Federation's industries.

Han Ming frowned upon hearing this; not only was Qixing shrouded in mystery but even his disciple was exceptionally outstanding.

The fact that Zhuang Herui had not been able to gather even a bit of information was quite abnormal!

From his own perspective, Han Ming did not believe a Saint Creator would perpetually remain in a reclusive state.

At the last minute, summoned Contract Garden gathering, Han Ming experienced a significant setback for the first time, being utterly overshadowed by another Saint Creator.

What Han Ming found most intolerable was that Qixing's performance seemed to suggest that his abilities far surpassed Han Ming's own!

Just then, Zhuang Herui noticed someone was trying to contact him through the Legend Butterfly.

The Legend Butterfly was the Communication Beast given to him by Fang Mu, and the only one who could contact him through Legend Butterfly was Fang Mu himself.

Zhuang Herui did not immediately connect with Fang Mu's communication but said to Han Ming,

"Teacher Jianmu is trying to contact me through the Communication Beast, should I take the call now?"

Han Ming pondered for a moment then spoke,

"Since Jianmu is the Han Yang Empire's representative of Qixing's mission, I think it's necessary for me to personally ask Jianmu about the progress of his cooperation with the Sea Clan."

"Xiaorui, let me talk to Jianmu!"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Herui quickly passed the Legend Butterfly to Han Ming.

Fang Mu kept his eyes closed until the Mermaid Blessing had ended. Fang Mu could feel a significant improvement in his body, spirit, and soul, yet his condition was extremely poor!

The Mermaid Blessing left Fang Mu utterly exhausted, longing to slumber for a day and a night, without even the curiosity to inspect the mermaid totem that had appeared on his own body.

As soon as Fang Mu had received the Mermaid Blessing, Lian Dai left his room, knowing that what Fang Mu needed most was rest.

Seeing that Zhuang Herui had been trying to contact him repeatedly during the days he was receiving the Mermaid Blessing, Fang Mu still made an effort to reply to Zhuang Herui despite his fatigue.

Fang Mu feared that something significant might have happened in the Human World over the past few days and he was unaware.

However, once Zhuang Herui received the communication, the person who contacted him was not Zhuang Herui; the voice that came through the Legend Butterfly was one Fang Mu found both familiar and strange.

Forcing himself to focus and activating his thoughts, Fang Mu quickly realized it was Saint Creator Han Ming!

Zhuang Herui, as a Grandmaster Creator under Lord Han Ming, was naturally by Han Ming's side when he reached out to Zhuang Herui.

Fang Mu, even if tired, would not directly reveal that he recognized Han Ming's identity. Fang Mu wouldn't make such a low-level mistake.

The identity of Fangmu Jianmu had no overlap with Han Ming, and there was no way he could be clear on Han Ming's voice.

Upon hearing Fang Mu's hesitation, Han Ming immediately identified himself.

Fang Mu's response was very satisfying to Han Ming. It was both appropriate and polite, and Han Ming could sense the tiredness in Fang Mu's voice.

Han Ming was unaware that Fang Mu had received the Mermaid Blessing from Lian Dai. He thought Fang Mu was exhausted from constantly jockeying for advantages within the Han Yang Empire.

"Jianmu, you went to the Han Yang Empire in place of your Master Qixing. How are the talks going?"

"Your master is busy clearing out the Extraterrestrial Embryos. If you need resources or extra hands, you can tell me!"

Han Ming's voice was cool and aloof, but he tried to sound as amiable as possible while communicating with Fang Mu.

Although Han Ming had failed to make connections with Qixing during both Contract Garden gatherings—with Qixing siding with the Eternal Mother Yongle on the first to demand the opening of the Sea of Domains, and becoming the center of attention at the second gathering—Han Ming still harbored a desire to form ties with Qixing.

It was better for humanity's top Saint Creators to cooperate with each other rather than each ruling their own domain.

Had it not been for the fact that the Eternal Mother Yongle had killed one of Han Ming's Grandmaster Creators before her promotion to Saint Creator, Han Ming would have been quite likely to reconcile with her.

Suppressing his tiredness, Fang Mu cleared his throat and responded clearly to Han Ming.

"The respected Lord Han Ming, the Han Yang Empire has already agreed to cooperate with us humans. The other three Sea Countries and the Sea Lord's forces will head to the Han Yang Empire in three days."

"At that time, representatives from the Contract Garden could be dispatched to negotiate with the representatives from the Four Sea Countries and the Sea Lord about this matter."

"Master will convene a temporary Contract Garden gathering after the contingents from the Four Countries and the Sea Lord have assembled to explain this matter."

"Rest assured, everything is going smoothly here. Once I return, we can begin the transfer of the second batch of Extraterrestrial Embryos!"

"If the number of the second batch of Extraterrestrial Embryos is too large, I'll bring more Spirit Capturing Boxes."

Han Ming had thought communicating with a junior like Fang Mu would be quite troublesome, as there were things that he, being a Saint Creator, found inconvenient to plainly say or directly inquire about from such a junior.

But as soon as he began, Fang Mu made everything clear he needed to say.

As the de facto manager of the Ten-thousand Nations Federation, which has always controlled the Sea of Domains,

Even if the Sea of Domains were opened, the Ten-thousand Nations Federation would still have absolute control over it!

Han Ming was well aware of just how many Extraterrestrial Embryos had been collected in the Sea of Domains; the quantity of the second batch had reached ten times that of the first batch.

The sheer effort of gathering these Extraterrestrial Embryos was substantial. Han Ming could scarcely imagine how Qixing would manage to process them.

If he had taken on the task of clearing the Extraterrestrial Embryos himself, encountering such a situation would have left Han Ming truly distressed.

Now that Fang Mu had broached the subject, it had effectively saved Han Ming from losing face.

Han Ming's primary interest in communicating with Fang Mu was to learn whether the humans' cooperation with the Sea Clan was proceeding smoothly.

Since everything was going well, Han Ming prepared to return the Legend Butterfly to Zhuang Herui, letting Zhuang Herui continue further communication with Fang Mu.

"The transfer of Extraterrestrial Embryos has always been negotiated between you and 'Little Rui', so I'll let him continue the transfer with you in a bit."

"I'm glad to hear everything is going smoothly with the Sea Clan. If you have time in the future, you're welcome to visit the Ten-thousand Nations Federation!"

After speaking, Han Ming got up and left the assembly hall. Zhuang Herui looked at the Legend Butterfly fluttering beside him and twitched the corners of his mouth.

Zhuang Herui knew what Han Ming was thinking, but he too feared offending Master Qixing because of the second transfer!

Moreover, in front of Fang Mu, a teenager, Han Ming calling him, a Grandmaster Creator who had lived for hundreds of years, "Little Rui" elicited in Zhuang Herui the subtle sense that he was a generation below Fang Mu.
