Chapter 1727 Why pretend to be a big shot when you have no money...
However, Balgon's monstrous roar was not the most shocking part for the King of the Winds.
What finally broke his composure was the lightning-fast response from his longtime friend, Madam Octopus:
"no problem!"
No problem my ass, you fat octopus!
King of the Wind cursed inwardly, darting forward to cover Lady Octopus's gaping mouth, while simultaneously speaking rapidly to Balgon:
"Terminate the transaction!"
"Balgon, go back to where you came from! We're not asking about the War of the Gods anymore!!"
"Huh? You're really not going to ask anymore?" Balgon's smile faded, and obvious disappointment appeared in his bright eyes.
Madam Octopus tried to struggle, but the King of the Raging Wind was caught off guard and she was unable to exert any strength for a while.
They could only futilely utter muffled sounds, trying to express their wishes in a cryptic way.
Five of the eight tentacles were used, all wrapped around the body of the King of the Raging Winds, but in the end, they still couldn't tear him off.
They could only watch helplessly as Balgon bowed slightly, took out a purple lightning-shaped dagger, tore through space, and silently departed.
Only after confirming that Balgon had left did the King of the Wind release his hands from covering Madam Octopus's mouth, and then disgustedly flicked away the drool from them.
"What are you doing? Didn't you promise to pay for me?!"
Madam Octopus rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky, and shouted irritably.
"Sister, please have mercy!" The King of the Wind was both amused and exasperated.
"Didn't you hear what price you'd have to pay?"
"Three-quarters of the planetary resources within the Storm Starfield, plus actual control of nearly half of the Overlord Army's territory!"
"I heard you!" Madam Octopus replied confidently, without any sense of injustice.
"Anyway, it's not like it's the planetary resources of Neptune's region or my control over the Overlord Army!"
"You son of a bitch..." The King of the Wind rolled up his sleeves, ready to spar with Madam Octopus.
But seeing the other person's serious expression and lack of ease in their eyes, he ultimately lost his nerve and fell silent.
"I know you're anxious, but please don't rush..."
Madam Octopus's thick lips were pressed into a straight line, and a murderous glint shone in her crescent-shaped pupils.
Seeing this, the King of the Wind dared not be cheeky any longer and hurriedly spoke up:
"We've been friends for so many years, you're not really trying to ruin me, are you?"
"If you agree to Balgon's deal, I might really have to hand over the Storm Starfield!"
"You now possess authority, you are a chosen one of the gods, so it doesn't matter if you don't become the overlord of the star field. But I am nothing!"
"If my hegemonic generals knew that I had sold them all out for a piece of information, they would tear me apart and eat me alive!"
Upon hearing this, Madam Octopus finally replied quietly:
"Then don't talk big next time. What are you pretending to be if you don't have money?"
"Who knew Balgon would ask for such a hefty price, demanding three-quarters of the planet's resources right off the bat..." King of the Winds said, looking embarrassed.
"This also indirectly shows that the hidden upheaval twenty years ago was of great importance." Madam Octopus sighed deeply and said solemnly to the King of the Wind:
"Balgon will provide a location in your Stormy Starfield. Will you be the one to pick him up then?"
"Of course." The King of the Wind patted his chest, looking completely trusting.
"I'll give her a makeover so that after twenty years of being away from home, she'll feel right at home in the Storm Starfield!"
"Isn't Eldar's home planet Elford originally Sun Ying's home...?" Madam Octopus glanced sideways at King of the Winds and said irritably:
"Don't overdo it, or it will backfire."
"I understand, I understand!" King of the Winds chuckled.
"I am a star field overlord, after all. Do you think I don't know how to treat people? You can just keep your heart full of grease to yourself!"
"As Balgon said before, Sun Ying lives with them and spends every day with them."
"As long as we handle our relationship with Sun Ying well this time, if you want to know anything about the War of the Gods, we can just ask her directly!"
"Yes, I know." Madam Octopus nodded, returned to her seat, and picked up her teacup.
"You know?" King of the Raging Winds was taken aback:
"Did you know you were so eager to make a deal with Balgon before?"
Madam Octopus took a sip of the strange drink in her teacup and responded quite naturally:
"Just kidding..."
at the same time.
An endless forest.
Beneath a flesh and blood statue of Lu Li and Evelina.
"You really think about it?"
Sun Ying looked at the figure in front of her dressed in multicolored robes, her eyes filled with worry.
"This was all planned long ago, so don't worry, Auntie." The hood tilted to the side, revealing a pair of clear eyes in the dark shadows.
At this moment, it is curved, like a pair of bluish crescent moons.
"Then at least wait for Balgon to come back... what if the plan changes?" Sun Ying wasn't convinced by his words; instead, she seemed even more worried.
"The timeframe of three hundred years is far too dangerous. I'm really worried about you going alone..."
"But if I don't go, who will complete the time loop?" As he spoke, the tone of the voice coming from under the hood began to change.
His voice, which was initially hoarse and low, gradually transformed into a clear and gentle young man's voice.
Clearly, some of the deceptions used to confuse the public have been removed.
"My dad is waiting for me to rescue him."
Upon hearing this, Sun Ying's trembling lips pressed tightly together.
At this moment, thirty percent of the emotions surging in her chest were due to worry about the person in front of her who was about to face danger.
The remaining 70% turned into hatred towards a certain man.
“Your father died a long time ago, really, I saw it with my own eyes!” Sun Ying stammered, trying to persuade him.
"Just twenty years ago, when I was first teleported to the Demon Realm, I witnessed your father being shot to death by his own two crossbow bolts on the Demon Battle Platform!"
"You really shouldn't go... Here's what we'll do: give me the things, and you can go to the realm of gods and stay with your mother, okay?"
"Auntie!" The voice coming from under the hood was more forceful, carrying a hint of seriousness:
"You know I absolutely have to go."
Sun Ying remained silent, her restless hands involuntarily clenching the armor at her waist.
They didn't even dare to look at that figure anymore.
Just as she heard a soft "Take care" beside her, she suddenly seemed to remember something, quickly looked up, and said urgently:
"Hey wait!"
"What's wrong, Auntie?" The figure wearing a multicolored hoodie had just taken out a pocket watch with gold and green stripes, and it seemed that she was about to press it to her chest.
"Take this!" Sun Ying's movements were slightly flustered, but she still decisively took off the twin antler swords hanging at her waist:
"Although it's not a very good weapon, I think it will bring you good luck, and hopefully... it will keep you safe..."
