"Phew... Finally, I can rest."
Liang Qu stood beside Yun Bo, on the high platform, taking a deep breath.
After negotiating with the Whale Emperor for two hours and discussing the details with Yun Bo and the Cloud Whales, he spent a whole two days in the side hall, straining his mind and being cautious until he couldn't think of more ideas in a short time before stepping out of the main hall for the first time.

Liang Qu gazed at the clear sky, squinting slightly at the sun, sensing a faint green upon its edge. The last time he was this exhausted was during Zenith...

"Oh, why is it you?"
