What? You opened a resort on the battlefield of all races?

What about the Chaos Ocean Heart Crystal?

The question lingered in the bay for a while, but no one answered it.

Bai Suhuang glanced at the empty stone platform from a distance, then at the patch of icy blue skin on Qingshan's chest, pointed at Qingshan, and slowly spoke.

"It seems that... the Chaos Sea Heart Crystal was absorbed by this brother who suddenly appeared."

Liu Bo turned his head and stared blankly at him.

"Then...doesn't that mean...we've worked for nothing?"

Bai Suhuang didn't speak, thought for a moment, and then nodded to Liu Bo.

Liu Bo went over those words in his mind.

All that effort for nothing.

He slowly turned around and turned his gaze back to the empty stone platform.

Twenty times the cultivation speed.

A luxurious villa.

VIP membership with a lifetime 20% discount.

The grand villa just flew away so gracefully?

Liu Bo stood there for a good six or seven seconds without moving, then he shifted his gaze from the stone platform to Qingshan.

He looked me up and down.

He had dark brown skin and ice-blue tattoo-like patterns that emanated from his chest. He stood there, grinning foolishly and rubbing his hands together.

Liu Bo remained silent for three seconds.

"Brother Shan".

"You absorbed our Chaos Sea Core Crystal... How about we take you to the shopkeeper to explain?"

He paused, then added.

"So you're saying...using a person to offset an object?"

The voice just fell.

"Get lost."

Rong Jing's voice burst out from the side, crisp and hard, like a stone hitting Liu Bo on the head.

She turned her head away, not even glancing at Liu Bo, her voice firm and resolute.

"If it weren't for Qingshan, we would all be dead by now."

Startled by the shout, Liu Bo took two steps to the side and blinked.

He thought for a moment and nodded.

"That makes sense..."

As Liu Bo spoke, something suddenly went through his mind.

His gaze quickly swept back and forth between Rong Jing and Qing Shan.

Wait a minute.

Sister Jing... actually spoke up for Brother Shan?

Liu Bo's eyes widened.

Holy crap?

Is there any chance this could turn around?

It seems my head is saved?

He took half a step forward, his eyes, burning with gossip, fixed on the two of them, a smirk playing on his lips, ready to say something to liven things up.

Luo Yurou quietly took a step to the side and subtly stepped on the back of his foot.

Liu Bo pursed his lips, swallowed the rest of his words, and shrank his neck to move to the side.

-

The sea breeze whips up moisture, bringing a touch of coolness.

After scolding Liu Bo away, Rong Jing turned around and walked towards Qingshan.

She stopped in front of Qingshan, her gaze level with his, landing directly on the patch of icy blue skin on his chest.

Rong Jing felt her breathing suddenly stop for a moment.

This is where the tip of the Arroyan spear pierced.

The spear pierced through him, less than a few meters away.

She slowly raised her hand, wanting to touch the somewhat eerie ice-blue skin in front of her to see if it was real.

His hand froze in mid-air.

Rong Jing raised her gaze and looked at Qingshan's face.

Qingshan stood rooted to the spot, his copper bell-shaped eyes filled with a mixture of confusion, nervousness, and utter bewilderment.

My hands felt like they were borrowed; I didn't know where to put them and wished I could return them immediately.

"Thanks."

Rong Jing pursed her lips again and again, uttering two words.

Qingshan was stunned.

This was the first time Rong Jing had spoken to him since the previous arena match.

He grinned widely, revealing an incredibly sincere and simple smile.

"Hehehehe..."

Liu Bo watched from the side and nodded repeatedly.

However, looking at Qingshan, who could only grin foolishly in front of him, Liu Bo was extremely anxious.

While frantically giving Qingshan meaningful glances, Liu Bo was also roaring inwardly.

"What a great opportunity!"

"Take the initiative!"

"Go and hug her now!!"

While thinking, Liu Bo even made a hugging motion towards the air in front of him.

Qingshan: ?

Rong Jing took a deep breath, turned around, and looked at Liu Bo, who had hurriedly stopped and stood at attention behind her. Her eyes twitched.

Let's go!

"Go back and find the shopkeeper, maybe he can help!"

Liu Bo puffed out his cheeks, considered the suggestion that "maybe Brother Shan himself is the solution," and ultimately swallowed it back.

Rong Jing turned around and took a few steps into the depths of the bay.

The bluefin whale was still on the surface of the water not far away, its huge body floating lazily, its round eyes watching the commotion.

Upon seeing Rong Jing and the others emerge, the giant whale's two dark yellow eyes instantly lit up.

"Waaah—"

It let out a cheerful chirp, and its massive body arched forward in the water, creating a wave.

It brought its mountain-like head right up to the shallow water on the shore.

Rong Jing ran over quickly.

I stretched out my arms and hugged the giant whale tightly, rubbing my cheek against its cool skin.

"Big whale, we're leaving now."

Rong Jing took a half step back and looked up at the giant whale.

"Thank you for leading the way today, and thank you for helping us break through that broken cover."

She thought for a moment, then seemed to feel that a verbal thank you wasn't enough, and added another sentence.

"I've put the lamb skewers on your tab. I'll definitely make it up to you next time we meet!"

After saying that, Rong Jing turned around and walked towards Luo Yurou and the others. With a flick of her wrist, a teleportation scroll emitting a blue light appeared in her palm.

however.

"Splash!"

The giant whale did not dive underwater and turn away as Rong Jing had imagined.

It swung its tail violently, its massive body shoving forward two meters, its huge jaws landing directly on the reef at the entrance of the bay, crushing a pile of rocks.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

The giant whale let out three urgent calls in succession.

The sound was loud, making the sea surface buzz.

It opened its enormous mouth, big enough to swallow a building, and kept opening and closing it.

Two large eyes were fixed on the teleportation scroll in Rong Jing's hand, filled with anxiety and urgency.

At the same time, its two translucent blue pectoral fins were frantically slapping the surface of the water.

Rong Jing stopped tearing the scroll, turned around, and looked at the scene with a puzzled expression.

"What happened to it? Is it stranded?"

Liu Bo, carrying the long sword in both hands, strolled over to Rong Jing's side.

He stroked his chin, watching the whale's exaggerated body movements thoughtfully.

"Don't you understand?"

Liu Bo stretched out his finger, pointing to the giant whale's constantly opening and closing mouth, and then to the scroll in Rong Jing's hand.

"It doesn't want to leave!"

Liu Bo slapped his thigh and made a judgment.

"It means it wants to come with us!"

"ha?"

Rong Jing's eyes widened as she turned to look at the colossal beast from the Heavenly Sea Realm, which was tens of meters long and comparable to a warship.

Take it with you?

Where should I put it?
