The Last Sentinel

"My husband, you're back!"

"You don't look well. Have you run into trouble?"

Aisha Giovanni followed cautiously beside Hua Xiaobai. Seeing her husband, who was usually as proud as a rooster, with an unpredictable expression today, she guessed that Hua Xiaobai had not gained the upper hand in the confrontation just now.

After all, for ordinary people, the confrontation with Young Master Tianyou was evenly matched, and neither side gained an advantage.

But for Hua Sang, not getting any advantage is a loss, and not finding any money on the way out is a loss for today!

As soon as Hua Xiaobai entered the back hall, she noticed a girl wearing a white dress.

The girl's jet-black hair was tied in a half-bun, secured by a single black jade hairpin, with the rest of her hair hanging down to her waist. She had long, sharp eyebrows and eyes, and her skin was as white as snow. She wore a black, wide-sleeved long dress, and just standing there, she exuded a commanding aura.

Aisha hurriedly introduced, "My dear, this is Miss An Qing, the vice-leader of the All-Heavens Universe Special Envoy Delegation, from the Eleventh Heaven, Xuanzhao Heaven! She graduated from the Water God Gonggong Academy of the Three Pure Ones Heaven, and her ice magic is incredibly powerful!"

Hua Xiaobai smiled and said in a friendly tone, "My name is Hua Mir Khan Gautama, and I greet Miss An Qing."

An Qing glanced at Aisha, her beautiful eyes seemingly full of meaning.

Hua Xiaobai patted Aisha on the shoulder, "Go ahead and get busy! I'm going to talk to Miss An Qing about some important matters."

"good!"

Elsa turned and left.

In the vast flower hall, Hua Xiaobai sized up An Qing, his eyes gleaming: "Miss, you look quite like an old friend."

The mature and sophisticated An Qing raised an eyebrow, her voice cold and detached, "I know what you're thinking, and I'm not afraid for you to know, but I was indeed one of the Great Xia Clan of your Blue Star many years ago!"

"Haha!" Hua Xiaobai clapped and laughed, "I knew it! The magpies were chattering as soon as I got back today; it turns out a fellow villager has come to visit!"

"Come, come, sit down. Miss Anqing and I are like old friends meeting in a foreign land!"

"I'd like to propose a toast to you!"

It has to be said that, as a handsome guy, especially one with exceptionally high emotional intelligence, Hua Xiaobai's interpersonal skills are top-notch.

Even a cold beauty like An Qing did not refuse Hua Xiaobai's enthusiasm and accepted the fine wine he offered.

After a brief exchange, the two of them examined each other's cards dozens of times.

An Qing replied frankly, "There's an old saying in the Great Xia Dynasty: 'Let's speak frankly.' The reason I've come today is to ask you what bargaining chips Tianyou has given you."

Hua Xiaobai held his wine glass, inwardly astonished. What kind of bargaining chips?

He gave me chips? I'm the one giving him chips!

I didn't get the better of him at all; in fact, I almost suffered a loss!

I had a huge fight with Tianyou, and in the end, I managed to subdue this kid by using my boss, Ye Feng, before he finally left.

Seeing that Hua Xiaobai remained silent, An Qing continued, "I'll give Tianyou double the stakes! How about it?"

Hua Xiaobai's face showed an embarrassed expression. He interlaced his fingers and said repeatedly, "Miss An, some things can't be measured by money! I, Hua Xiaobai, am a businessman with a strong sense of contract and a commitment to integrity. I cannot break my promise to Young Master Tianyou. After all, we just hit it off immediately and had a very pleasant conversation. I have no reason to ruin my relationship with Young Master Tianyou for a little bit of profit!"

An Qing's beautiful eyes gleamed, and she said calmly, "It seems Tianyou has promised you benefits beyond money!"

Hua Xiaobai smiled demurely, "Miss An Qing, I think you might have a misunderstanding about Young Master Tianyou. I think Young Master Tianyou is a man of heroic spirit, courageous and responsible, patient and resourceful..."

"Bullshit!" An Qing interrupted Hua Xiaobai, gritting her teeth. "How can such a filthy and despicable scumbag be associated with heroism? Hua Jun, I can understand you taking Tianyou's money, but are you really being honest with yourself by saying this?"

Honest? I feel like throwing up!

But Hua Xiaobai still looked embarrassed and said, "It's clear that Miss An Qing has a lot of prejudice against Young Master Tianyou. Aisha, see them out!"

An Qing interrupted, "I'm not going to waste my breath on you. In short, if you help me see Ye Feng and obtain the controllable weakening of the ominous sign, I'm willing to give you 10% of the profits, plus double the reward from Tian You!"

Upon hearing this, Hua Xiaobai was overjoyed, weakening the ominous signs that were now under control.

Could it be that the boss's "red-haired curse" has mutated and spread throughout the universe?

An Qing continued, "Sentinel Ye Feng was ambushed by powerful beings from the Three Pure Ones of the myriad universes across the river of time at the foot of the Fourth Wall, losing a lock of his hair. Subsequently, Sentinel Ye Feng decisively contracted the ominous Red Hair Curse, and without exception, all the powerful beings who came into contact with Ye Feng's physical essence were also infected with the ominous curse. Ye Feng's move of mutual destruction was extremely ruthless, causing the myriad universes to suffer a silent loss."

"But everything in this world has its advantages and disadvantages. While Ye Feng's Red Hair Curse severely injured powerful individuals, it had a side effect when it spread to some younger generations. Some of these younger disciples, infected with trace amounts of the Red Hair Curse, unusually absorbed this power and transformed it into red tattoo totems, drawing upon them to obtain a continuous flow of blood blessings!"

"The problem now is that the amount of controllable Blood Blessing is very small, and the number that can devour non-mutated individuals is even smaller. After research, the Thirty-Three Heavens discovered that the acquisition of this type of blessing is related to its purity. In other words, the closer one is to the original infected, the more profitable it is!"

"As long as you let me meet Ye Feng and obtain some of his tokens, I won't treat you unfairly in terms of reward!"

Hua Xiaobai's eyes darted around, and she said, "My boss has been thrown into the river of time by you guys. He won't be back anytime soon. If we want to meet, that depends on fate!"

"However, I can get my hands on my boss's keepsake!"

An Qing asked, "How much do you have?"

Hua Xiaobai chuckled, "That depends on the price you're willing to pay, Miss!"

An Qing said, "A token, and a standard Level 5 civilization Dyson sphere!"

"No, no, no—" Hua Xiaobai shook his head like a rattle-drum. "Miss An, I think you might have misunderstood me. I've already joined the All-Heavens Universe camp, and I've severed ties with the Carbon-Based Universe. We're enemies now! Why are you giving me the Dyson Sphere? Do I need that thing? Or do you suspect that my allegiance to the All-Heavens Universe is fake? Do you think I'm a spy?"

An Qing stared at Hua Xiaobai. "Isn't that right? Hua Xiaobai, the confidant of the Sentinels, the leader of the Seven Wings of Gods, the God of Wisdom, could betray the Human Alliance? Could betray the Sentinels?"

"Betraying the Sentinels and betraying the Human Alliance are two different things!" Hua Xiaobai said. "As for the title 'Seven Wings of the Gods,' I don't like it. I prefer to be called the Seven Warlords of the Sea. Our boss is destined to become a Cosmic King-level powerhouse. We are the King's seven great warriors!"

An Qing said, "I don't want to get entangled in this with you. In short, what do you want?"

Hua Xiaobai's eyes were calm and resolute. "I want to apply to the Cangjie Academy in the Three Pure Heavens! You help me get into the Cangjie Academy!"
