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

Outside the defense line of Haichuan Prefecture lies a deep-sea area riddled with reefs.

The gale, carrying salty seawater, lashed down relentlessly.

A flash of blue light appeared in mid-air, and Liu Bo's figure suddenly fell from the void, landing firmly on a protruding black reef.

On his shoulder, the water sphere enveloping the miniature bluefin whale with its sea pattern exploded simultaneously.

"Splash—"

The bluefin whale's body swelled in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it returned to its terrifying size, the size of a small island.

Its massive body crashed heavily into the sea, stirring up towering waves tens of meters high.

"Cough cough! Slow down!"

Liu Bo leaped into the air, maneuvering and dodging with great difficulty to avoid the splashes of water stirred up by the bluefin whale.

Liu Bo was so frightened that his heart was pounding.

He didn't eat any sashimi this time.

The bluefin whale poked its massive head out of the water, its dark yellow eyes fixed on Liu Bo, its mouth slightly open, letting out a low moan.

The fish is hungry.

"Okay, okay, you'll get your share!"

Liu Bo rolled his eyes, flicked his wrist, and pulled out a huge package wrapped tightly in oil-proof paper from his storage device.

leave--

"Click-clack—"

The giant whale snapped its jaws shut and swallowed the food whole without even chewing.

Then, it squinted its eyes with satisfaction, its huge tail fin gently slapping underwater, stirring up the undercurrent.

Liu Bo crossed his arms, tapped his toes on the rocks, and looked up at the bluefin whale with his chin raised.

"We've eaten, now it's time to get down to business."

Liu Bo cleared his throat, held up a finger, and his expression turned serious.

"Consider this bag of meat skewers your deposit."

"We're not here for sightseeing; we're here to find those alien royal families who are committing atrocities on the battlefield of the heavens."

"Drain their life essence, extinguish their soul fire."

Liu Bo stared into the whale's eyes and began to present his pricing proposal.

"Even between brothers, accounts should be kept clear. We'll calculate the reward based on the level of the target we hunt."

"The royal family of the Thousand-Jin Realm will provide 100 mutton skewers."

"500 of those from the Flying Realm."

"1000 from the Nine Heavens Realm."

"If you're lucky enough to run into royalty from the Heavenly Sea Realm, and you manage to kill one, I'll give you 5000 mutton skewers! All you can eat!"

Liu Bo slapped his thigh and put on a "you got a great deal" expression.

"How about it? Is the price reasonable?"

Upon hearing this price, the bluefin whale, which had been squinting, suddenly opened its eyes wide.

It stared at Liu Bo for two seconds, then shook its huge head like a rattle drum, directly stirring up a gust of wind.

"Ugh—!"

The whale let out a long, protesting cry, indicating its firm refusal.

"Not enough?"

Liu Bo glared and put his hands on his hips.

The whale did not answer directly. Instead, it raised one of its translucent blue pectoral fins and drew a large circle in the air. Then, it used its other pectoral fin to poke and prod around the circle.

The actions were comical, but the meaning was quite clear.

Liu Bo stroked his chin, squinted, and examined the object for a moment.

"You mean... the alien races in this sea are so scattered, it's like finding a needle in a haystack, so hard to find?"

The giant whale quickly bobbed its massive head up and down, splashing water everywhere on the surface of the sea.

Then it changed its action.

The giant whale gripped the edges of its two pectoral fins inward and slammed them together with a thud.

Then, it quickly shoved its big head into the water, leaving only its eyes showing, making a hiding gesture.

The movements were fluid and graceful, creating a visually stunning effect.

Liu Bo's lips twitched twice.

"Are you trying to tell me that the alien races with royal bloodlines are all very powerful, and each one is extremely well hidden, not only difficult to find but also extremely difficult to kill?"

The giant whale nodded vigorously once more.

Then, it stretched out its two pectoral fins in front of Liu Bo and rubbed them together.

This action is universal.

Yu Yu said: We need to pay more!

"Depend on!"

Liu Bo was so angry he almost jumped off the rocks. He pointed at the whale's trunk and started cursing.

"You're a deep-sea behemoth of the Heavenly Sea Realm, don't you think you can roam freely in this sea?"

"I asked you to find some royalty and you're here complaining about being poor? Why is your mouth so big when you're eating lamb skewers?!"

The whale completely ignored Liu Bo's accusations, turned its head, and a jet of water shot out from its nozzle, displaying a rogue-like attitude of "I'll go on strike if you don't pay more."

A fierce tug-of-war ensued between the man and the whale amidst the turbulent waves and the reefs.

"One hundred and fifty! That's the most I can offer!"

"Ugh!" (Shakes head)

"One hundred and eighty! Let me tell you, this is a huge sum of money for me!"

"Ugh!" (Continues shaking her head)

Liu Bo, his face dark with anger, gritted his teeth and haggled with a whale for a full half hour.

By the end, he felt like his throat was on fire.

"Fine, fine! You win!"

Liu Bo stomped his foot hard, crushing a rock beneath him.

"All previously offered prices have been doubled!"

"Thousand-Pound Realm 200, Flying Heaven Realm 1000, Nine Heavens Realm 2000, Heavenly Sea Realm 10,000!"

"This is the bottom line! If you still don't agree, we're done for, and you can forget about ever smelling cumin again!"

Upon hearing the number "ten thousand," the bluefin whale's eyes instantly flashed with dazzling light.

"Awooo—!"

It raised its head and let out a deafening roar of joy.

The sonic boom tore a hole in the thick, dark clouds in the sky.

Then, the giant whale obediently approached the reef, raised its broad pectoral fins, and gently patted its broad, flat forehead, signaling Liu Bo to come up.

Liu Bo snorted coldly, leaped into the air, and landed steadily on the top of the giant whale's head.

"Go kill the valuables! Nobody's getting any rest until we break even today!"

Liu Bo drew his long sword, pointing it straight ahead.

The giant whale let out an excited low cry and swung its massive tail fin violently.

"boom!"

The towering waves surged up, like a giant wall of water pushing outwards.

Like an arrow released from a bow, the giant whale tore through the sea and carried Liu Bo away into the depths of the waves.

At the same time.

Li Xin's follower, Yang Shuo, knocked on the door of the Qi family in Haixinyan.

Qi Family Council Hall.

Qi Huan, the head of the Qi family, and Qi Min, the young master, sat carefully beside Yang Shuo.

"By order of Lord Li, we have come to requisition the Qi family's Yuanling Boat."

Yang Shuo put down his teacup without even lifting his eyelids, and said in a drawn-out tone.

"Requisition the Yuanling Boat?"

Qi Huan's expression changed.

"Brother Yang, the Lord of the Prefecture has given the order, and our Qi family naturally dares not disobey."

"But... it's really unfortunate. Our Qi family's main flagship was damaged recently, and we've just finished repairing the array. It's still in the debugging stage, so it's not very convenient to go to sea."

Qi Min chuckled and tried to brush it off.
