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

The bluefin whale's mountain-like back remained afloat, its dark yellow eyes filled with urgency.

It resembled a child afraid of being abandoned by its parents at the entrance of an amusement park, its massive tail fin nervously slapping against the waves, sending up splashes several meters high.

"I must be seeing things."

Liu Bo rubbed his eyes hard and scrubbed his face vigorously before daring to look again at the enormous structure at the entrance of the bay.

"Sister Jing, is it begging us to take it in?"

Liu Bo wiped the seawater off his face and tilted his head to look at Rong Jing.

Rong Jing stood in the shallows, the seawater reaching her ankles.

She looked up at the giant beast of the Heavenly Sea Realm before her, a hint of helplessness and pity in her eyes.

"The big whale."

Rong Jing reached out and gently placed her palm on the cool, textured tip of the bluefin whale's nose.

The giant whale lowered its eyes gently, and even sprayed a fine mist of water from its blowhole, as if it were flirting with Rong Jing.

"You are too big. This is the Haichuan Prefecture of the Battlefield of the Heavens. Only this vast sea can contain you."

Rong Jing gently advised.

"Waaah—"

The bluefin whale let out a low, mournful cry, like an ancient horn.

It didn't wander away disappointedly as Rong Jing had imagined. Its huge eyes were fixed on the teleportation scroll in Rong Jing's hand, revealing a sense of "I have a way".

"It said there's nothing to worry about?"

Liu Bo translated from the side. Although he didn't know how he understood it, the whale's movements clearly conveyed the same meaning.

Followed by.

What happened next left everyone speechless.

The giant whale's massive body began to tremble violently, and a faint, eerie blue light emerged from its enormous form.

Then, "whoosh—"

The surrounding seawater seemed to be drawn by some force, frantically converging and compressing towards the center of the giant whale.

It forms a giant water sphere that envelops the body of the bluefin whale.

Then, the enormous water sphere, which was originally several hundred meters long, along with the body of the bluefin whale, shrank rapidly at an extremely fast speed.

Ten meters, five meters, one meter...

A moment later, the light faded.

midair.

A small water sphere, no bigger than Qingshan's fist, floated quietly in front of everyone.

The water sphere became transparent, and mysterious patterns flowed across its surface.

Inside the water sphere, a miniature bluefin whale could be seen swimming freely. It swayed its tail and even winked at Rong Jing through the water sphere.

It looks exactly like the figurines sold at the resort.

The water balloon floated down gently and came to a steady stop in Rong Jing's outstretched palm.

"Wow!"

Luo Yurou couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. She leaned closer and stared at the adorable little gadget in Rong Jing's hand.

"I never imagined it had this ability?"

Bai Suhuang also stepped forward, staring at the proud little whale in the water sphere with a complicated expression.

"As expected, none of the alien races in the Heavenly Sea Realm are simple."

Liu Bo was completely dumbfounded.

He stretched out a finger and tentatively poked the cool little water ball.

"The contrast is too great!"

The image of the adorable little whale suddenly growing to enormous size and smashing a mountain with its tail flashed through his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Who would have thought this was a powerful alien race at the Heavenly Sea Realm?"

"If we bring this back to the resort, anyone who dares to speak loudly in front of Sister Jing will just be thrown at her."

"Go, Pikachu, oh wait, Bluefin Whale."

"That scene...tsk tsk."

The more Liu Bo thought about it, the more vivid the imagery seemed, and the sadness of losing the Chaotic Sea Heart Crystal was somewhat diluted.

"Alright, stop joking around."

Luo Yurou took out the scroll.

"Let's go back."

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art.

Meanwhile, in the resort lobby.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not that I'm being disrespectful, but this is already the resort's maximum capacity."

Xu Tianlin slumped lazily in a specially made mahogany rocking chair, holding a blue and white porcelain teacup in his right hand and shrugging helplessly at the figures in front of him with his left hand outstretched.

Standing before Xu Tianlin were five powerful figures with astonishing auras.

If there were outsiders present at this moment, they would probably be so frightened that they would faint on the spot.

Standing on the far left is Wei Peng, the prefect of Shangjing Prefecture.

Next to him was Xiao Qiong, the Lord of Cangyun Prefecture.

In addition, there is Li Junshan, the Lord of Haichuan Prefecture, and the two Lords of Wuyue and Qinglan Prefectures.

There were a total of five human lords.

Each and every one of them is a top-tier expert at least at the Fusion Dao Realm.

A high-martial-arts version of the "Five Kage Summit".

If all seventy-two demon kings of the abyss were to arrive at this moment and unleash a forbidden spell on this hall, they might actually be able to cut off the human race's high-end combat power in half.

Of course, if they really dare to come.

A more likely outcome is that he will be casually crushed to death by Xu Tianlin, and then gloriously transformed into seventy-two different ethnic snacks at the Wanzu Snack Stall.

"Shopkeeper Xu."

Xiao Qiong frowned, her old face contorted into a bitter expression.

"Didn't we say that money makes things easier?"

Xu Tianlin sighed and put down his teacup.

"Something unexpected happened."

"It's not that we can't expand in the future, it's just that we need some legendary treasures from other races."

"A legendary treasure?"

Xiao Qiong paused, then pointed to the burning tree in the courtyard and said.

"Blood elves, the Burning Tree type?"

Xu Tianlin nodded.

"hiss--"

Xiao Qiong gasped.

These treasures of this caliber are the lifeblood of these alien races.

Moreover, only advanced alien races possess it.

Humans have rarely even seen treasures of this caliber in recent years.

"This is a bit troublesome."

Wei Peng rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

"The counter-offensive plan has begun."

"In the future, there will inevitably be more demon-hunting teams composed of martial artists, as well as guards from various prefectures, deployed to the battlefield."

"If the resort can't meet our needs, then our counterattack plan might be a bit too risky."

Wei Peng's face turned pale.

He wasn't blaming Xu Tianlin.

As the lord of Shangjing Prefecture and the de facto ruler of the Human Race Federation government, he assumed that the resort could meet the logistical needs of the entire human race without personally confirming with the shop owner.

This is his problem!

Wei Peng gave a wry smile.

He wasn't usually like this.

The resort had such a profound impact on him that he naturally assumed Xu Tianlin was an omnipotent entity.

"So the shop owner means that as long as there are treasures of this caliber, the resort can be expanded."

Wei Peng asked again, seemingly lost in thought.

Xu Tianlin nodded.

"That's right!"

Just then—

"Help! Shopkeeper, senior! Help!"

It was accompanied by a signature hoarse, dry wail.

Luo Yurou and the others appeared in the hall.

Before everyone could even stand up straight, Liu Bo plopped down on the smooth floor, his long sword clattering to the side, and he burst into a wail that shook the heavens and earth.

"Shopkeeper-senpai! It's gone!"

"A Chaotic Sea Core Crystal! Such a huge Chaotic Sea Core Crystal, and Brother Shan ate it!"

"Look, if we leave Brother Shan with you as collateral, how about you let us stay in a villa?"
