"Good job! Get rid of it quickly."

"No, I just checked this bomb. If we try to remove it by force, it will explode immediately. We can only take it to a deserted place and detonate it."

However, Liu Ying refused Qiong's request. She had already come up with a solution, something only she could do.

"A place where no one is..."

Qiong pondered with some difficulty, because due to the family's marketing, all 12 dream realms were now overcrowded, and it was impossible to find a place without people.

"The only suitable place for an explosion would be in the sky."

The firefly looked up at the sky. Almost the entire Milky Way thought of sending the powerful bomb upwards, since the sky was the most remote place. It would be even better if it could be pushed into space and detonated.

Chapter 147 Thank you, Director Hua

"But you..."

Qiong hesitated. He didn't want to agree to do something so dangerous with Liuying, but it seemed there was no other way.

“Before I came to this dream, Elio said that I would experience three deaths, but because I met you, my fate has already begun to change. However, I think this time it is unavoidable.”

Liu Ying smiled at Qiong, her face full of tenderness. It was because Qiong risked his life to save her that she had not personally experienced the pain of death, but now it was time for her to face her fate.

"No, you have a family now, how can you talk about death so easily!"

Qiong ran over and took Liuying's hand, saying that Liuying gently pursed her lips. She knew that wherever Qiong was, that was her home. The two of them were already so close, but now she could only push Qiong away.

"Aqiong, believe me, believe in the Firefly Armor, I will definitely come back to your side."

Liu Ying took out her transformation device, pressed it to her chest, and said that flames enveloped her entire body. In an instant, the silver Sam Armor stood before her.

"After all, you are the man I truly love, and you will become the reason for my survival."

Sam bent down to pick up the Firework Doll, and the thrusters on its back spewed out scorching flames, propelling it into the sky in an instant. Qiong originally wanted to follow, but then he thought that if he went, he could only add a layer of protection to Liuying, and besides, he would have a hard time keeping up with that speed.

Not long after Sam flew away, a loud roar came from the sky. Qiong almost closed his eyes involuntarily, but what appeared after the explosion was not a terrifying mushroom cloud, but a huge firework head. Under this head, there were all kinds of gorgeous fireworks, which exploded in mid-air.

"See? I told you it was fake!"

Qiong gritted her teeth and said, "Having fun is one thing, but Hanabi isn't a terrorist. There's no reason for her to want to kill so many innocent guests. She just came to have some fun, not to see corpses strewn everywhere. But everyone knows the truth, yet we can only confirm it through the final result, because no one dares to gamble with her."

"Congratulations, you guessed right, Little Grey."

Hanabi suddenly appeared behind Sora, pulled out a rubber hammer from who-knows-where, and smashed him away with one blow. This was on the deck, and Sora began to free fall after he was thrown out.

"Enjoy your reward; even more delightful things await you afterward."

Hanabi waved to Sora from the airship, seemingly having achieved her goal. Sora, however, was concerned about her last sentence, as if the matter wasn't over yet.

A green light descended from the sky, embracing Qiong's body and carrying him into the sky. Liu Ying knew from the moment the bomb turned into fireworks that it was Hanabi playing tricks. On the way down, she discovered that Qiong was freefalling, which was, of course, a damsel in distress saving the hero.

"Although he was a bit of a bad person, the fireworks he made were pretty good."

Qiong leaned against Liuying and said that when they flew into the sky, she had already deactivated the Sam Armor. The thoughtful girl knew that the armor was uncomfortable to hold, so she wanted to experience Qiong's embrace for herself.

Bathed in the glow of fireworks, the two embraced, gazing into each other's eyes. Liu Ying lifted her face, and Qiong lowered his head to kiss the girl's soft lips. At that moment, the fireworks seemed to bloom only for them, and their eyes were filled with nothing but each other.

A moment later, Qiong and Liuying landed back on the deck of the Huichangshi. Both of them were still immersed in the emotional exchange they had just had. Neither of them mentioned Hanabi. After this life-and-death separation, their feelings for each other had become even stronger. Even if Qiong wanted to marry Liuying now, she would agree without hesitation.

"Are you guys okay?"

March 7th ran over in a few steps, looking at the two of them with concern. Seeing the worried look on Xiao Sanyue's face, Qiong's heart warmed. He stepped forward, hugged her waist, and lifted her up, her feet slightly off the ground.

"I appreciate Xiao Sanyue's concern, thank you."

Qiong leaned against March 7's soft body and said that although she always bullied her, she was always the first to worry about her when something happened. This special feeling that was more than friends but not quite lovers was only found in March 7.

"Let me go, you idiot."

March 7th said with an embarrassed look, and Qiong didn't make things too difficult for her. After changing the subject, the atmosphere eased up. Everyone vented their resentment on Hanabi, who made them work for nothing. How could a single firework be enough to make up for it? Unfortunately, no one could catch her now, otherwise they would definitely give her a good spanking.

After the fireworks faded, the Huichangshi returned to its previous lively state. While Liuying, March 7th, and Zhibing were chatting, Qiong went alone to the airship's accommodation area and once again went to Emerald's room.

Of course, a woman as capable as Emerald did not seek refuge. She was sitting on the sofa in her room drinking wine. When she saw Qiong open the door and come in, she did not show any strange expression, as if this was within her expectations.

"Sister Jade, you tapped my arm with your finger earlier, were you implying that I should come over alone later? Can we still discuss our deal?"

Qiong wore a perfectly measured smile. He felt he hadn't misunderstood, and if he was wrong, he could just laugh it off.

“I never said that; it’s just your assumption.”

Emerald took a sip of red wine and looked at Qiong with a detached expression. She didn't seem to be a humorous woman and seemed uninterested in anything except pawning.

"Come, let me see what makes the person favored by the Amber King so extraordinary."

Jade crossed her thigh over her other leg, and in the process of changing her position, Qiong had already seen the black lace she was wearing. This was quite a generous treat, and Qiong gave her a thumbs up.

As soon as Jade finished speaking, a phantom image of a large snake shot out from behind her. This snake was made of energy and represented Jade's attack method. Upon seeing this attack, Qiong immediately took out his lance. After the tip of the lance ignited with flames, it displayed a protective power, firmly protecting him.

The giant snake took a bite, only to find that Qiong's protective power was unshakeable. However, it did not disappear. Instead, it split into thousands of thin snakes, each opening its mouth from different places to tear at the shield around Qiong. Although the shield was sturdy, it could not withstand such splitting bites. Moreover, Emerald was originally a fellow practitioner of protection, so she naturally knew how to deal with people who practiced protection.

The serpents quickly tore a hole in the shield and began to gnaw at Qiong's body. Qiong had a good tolerance for pain and only frowned slightly when bitten. He did not use the power of other destinies to deal with these serpents. As Emerald had just said, this was a test, a test of whether he could meet her standards.

"Bearing the name of [Storage Protection], I cannot lose!"

Qiong recalled the memory of his intense eye contact with Kripper. Although he always teased Kripper, when it came to using his protective power, Qiong was still decisive. As he gripped his lance and exerted force, blessings of protection appeared and imprinted on his body, repelling all the surrounding serpents. At this moment, Qiong radiated a gem-like brilliance, perfectly passing the test of the emerald.

Chapter 148 The Company Really Has an Envoy

"Zero-dimensional strengthening, eutectic reaction, homogeneous transformation."

Qiong began to use some uncommon nouns. Each time he uttered a word, a protective mark would appear in front of him, looking like a thick shield.

"Is this enough?"

Qiong pointed to the blessings in front of him and said, "This is of course not his own power, but a trial version obtained by borrowing the power of destiny."

"It seems you also have some understanding of the blessing of preservation, but you cannot mobilize these powers."

Emerald nodded as she looked at the blessings before her and commented that Qiong's protective power was indeed quite good, and she would be willing to pay a good price if it could be pawned.

"Resonance transmission, indeterminate field, macroscopic segregation."

Qiong felt that Emerald had not yet fallen for him, so he found three more blessings and placed them in front of him. This time, Emerald stood up from the sofa to look at them. Even she had never received such blessings. Although she was not a guardian spirit, she had still walked far on the path of destiny.

"You've passed my test, that's enough, but where did you get that information from?"

Jade asked curiously, "Based on Qiong's understanding of the Guardian, it's impossible to receive so many blessings. This thing is like unlocking; it's hidden in the shadows until a certain stage, unless it's a beginner's gift from the Amber King. If that's the case, then it can only be said that Qiong is truly loved by the Guardian."

"Black Tower Space Station."

Qiong stated frankly that he was able to see so many different blessings because he had obtained these powers in the simulated universe. As for where they came from, they were naturally recorded by the Black Tower through various means and stuffed into the simulated universe.

"Your birthplace, well, that makes sense."

Emerald thought of the legendary genius Black Tower and felt relieved. It was not because Qiong was valued by the Amber King as he had imagined, but simply because he had a good mother! II Lin (two) Er Yi Ling 8 = Er Nai.

"Since you've passed the test, I won't waste any more words. Be my wife."

Qiong went straight up and grabbed Emerald's hand, then turned around and sat on the sofa, pulling her onto his lap.

Emerald was a very tall woman, and when she sat on Qiong's lap, his face was right next to her chest. Qiong didn't stand on ceremony with her at all and naturally rubbed his face against hers.

"You did the same to Toppa?"

Emerald looked calm. Having experienced many things, her tolerance had increased. For her, very few things could make her lose her composure, not even being groped. Since Qiong had passed the test, she would let him be. This could be considered a deal.

"Yes."

Qiong honestly replied that he found Topa's thighs more attractive, so he always went for her lower body. Emerald, on the other hand, was slender and didn't look as voluptuous as Topa, but she had a more mature and charming appeal.

"You're really funny. How can you be sure we won't get angry?"

Emerald asked with a smile. Neither she nor Topak were ordinary women who could fight back when bullied. They were women with experience cards for envoys. Although the situation hadn't pushed them to the brink, they could still use other means to make Qiong regret it.

"I think you have to use different methods to win over different women. Many details are just gambling. You can win everything or lose everything."

"Don't use placer gold at this time."

Emerald glanced at Qiong lightly, her gaze devoid of any seductive quality. Although she was beautiful, she had never used her looks to gain any advantage. Rather than relying on these inherent advantages, she preferred to use her learned abilities to win.

"Winning will certainly earn you some goodwill, but losing will cause some trouble. If you get angry, we'll have to find a way to coax you back. In short, we should try to have as much contact as possible when we can, because we don't know how long it will be before we can meet again after we've parted ways."

Qiong explained his reasons for approaching her so boldly. Emerald didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If Qiong didn't come to find her this time, after he left Pinocchio, it might be many years before they met again, and he wouldn't have anything to say about liking her.

"So what kind of woman do you think I am?" Emerald asked.

"It's hard to say, I'm testing you."

Qiong's cheek rested against Emerald's chest, one arm already wrapped around her slender waist, while the other hand boldly moved away from her abdomen and touched her soft southern hemisphere.

"You figured it out?"

Emerald frowned slightly, not because Qiong's behavior had crossed the line, but because his probing was different from what she had imagined. A probing should be the kind where you touch something and then stop, but he did it, directly holding it in his hand and gently kneading it into various shapes.

“It’s huge. By the way, it’s surprising that you didn’t transform and whip me.”

Qiong looked at Emerald with some curiosity and said, "Since he dared to do such a thing, he must have been prepared to be knocked away. But now it seems that this Lady Ciyu is really kind and has turned a blind eye to this behavior."

"You're talking about what gold dust looks like after it's been treated with a base stone, right? Our abilities are different, so we won't have that kind of direct visual experience."

Jade spoke as if she were discussing business, showing no unusual emotions despite Qiong still holding her weakness in his hands. More than a woman, she was more like a loan shark and debt collector. This was the first time Qiong had encountered a woman like her.

"Keep talking, I'm listening."

Qiong used all the techniques he had learned from his wives on Emerald's body. He didn't hurt her; instead, he made her feel like it was a massage. This was also the reason why he wasn't kicked away by her high heels. There was only one sensitive spot on her chest. As long as you didn't touch that spot, there was indeed a massage technique that could promote blood circulation through the chest, making her shoulders feel less tired.

“We ten people from Stone Heart are all the same, because each of us has an emptiness in our hearts, which we can only fill by constantly relying on external things.”

Emerald picked up her glass of red wine and took a sip. This made Qiong start to think about what exactly was the emptiness in Emerald and Toppa. They had no shortage of money, so what they lacked was a good husband.

"And Diamond, he promised to divide the power of the Guardian Envoy into ten parts, adding a foundation to that void."

Jade continued, saying that this indicated a reliable piece of information: Diamond had the ability to satisfy their desires and could also see their future potential. Therefore, the ten Stonehearts had been recruited to work under Diamond and received envoy experience cards. They were all willing to give and take.

"So the company really does have a custody order - 嵘罒零弃2$+迩丝扒司使啊。"

Sora didn't actually know much about the company, and Estella wasn't really a company employee. The first company employee she came into contact with was actually Toppa, and it was only then that Sora learned about the tip of the iceberg.

Chapter 149 A Huge Profit or a Huge Loss?

"You're way too out of touch with the world."

As Jade put down her wine glass, her slender fingers grasped Qiong's hand, which was resting on her chest. Qiong thought she was going to drive Qiong away, but to his surprise, Jade placed his hand on the other half of her chest, indicating that he could continue the massage.

"My flesh and blood are weak, but my heart is as firm as lapis lazuli. Otherwise, there would be no way to preserve myself."

Emerald said calmly. Now Qiong understood. This woman's heart was as hard as lapis lazuli. Even if Qiong touched her body like this, it wouldn't cause much of a ripple, unless he continued to try and could completely enter her heart.

"This is the oath of the ten of us from Stoneheart, and it is also the collateral we have paid. In exchange for it, we have gained opportunities, wealth, survival, and tomorrow... and everything we have gained will make Stoneheart even more indestructible, so that we can achieve the great cause of preservation in the war of the gods that is about to come."

Jade's words were still as refined as ever, but Qiong had already understood. Diamond recruited nine other people to be his underlings. By satisfying their desires, he also ensured that the benefits they received were reflected in their destinies, making Diamond's protective power even more indestructible. When the War of the Gods began, Diamond's plan might succeed.

"Is it storage or diamonds?"

Qiong asked, unable to guess what the envoy of Cunhu was planning, but he knew the company's character. They called him the Amber King, but their minds were full of wicked ideas. He didn't know if Cunhu had any great achievements, but Diamond probably wanted to create them.

"Since you've already figured it out, why ask me?"

Emerald's face lit up with a charming smile, a rare occurrence for her during negotiations, proving that Qiong had indeed guessed correctly.

Despite its glamorous appearance, jade is essentially just a worker for diamonds. However, it joined voluntarily, just like Toppa. In the end, it was a mutually beneficial relationship, and naturally, they fought side by side in the war of the gods, with no one able to escape.

Do you think the Star Train will be drawn into the vortex of the War of the Gods?

Qiong felt that the so-called war of the gods was still far away from him. Back on the Immortal Ship, Kafka had told him that the Star Train would eventually face Nanuk and die a terrible death. Of course, that was one of the possible outcomes that Elio had foreseen. Now, he and the Star Core Hunter were trying to find a way to prevent the Star Train from being completely wiped out, but the specific reasons were unknown.

"Isn't this a matter of course? There's no murky water in the entire universe that you wouldn't dare to wade into."

Emerald looked at Qiong with a strange expression, as if to say that they were already in the middle of the vortex, so why were they still thinking about escaping?

"Haha, what you're saying is actually a little scary. I need to go back and practice protecting my life path properly."

Qiong smiled awkwardly. It wasn't that he was afraid of death; after all, he had fought his way through life with painstaking effort. He was just afraid that his wives would be heartbroken if he died, so he could only try his best to avoid that ending.

"Want to join the storage service?"

Emerald asked with a smile. She clearly knew about Qiong, this treacherous servant who kept switching between three different paths without ever saying which one he was leaning towards.

"As you can see, the blessing of preservation is the easiest way to save one's life. I personally don't care, but with you and Toppa among the Stoneheart Ten, I have to protect you and my other wives. Only then can I live up to my responsibility as a man."

Qiong felt that this was all she could do. Although when facing the Star God, all blessings were as fragile as paper, and the protection of blessings was nothing more than folding paper together, she couldn't just give up and wait to die because of that.

“I never said I would agree to your pawning.”

Seeing that Qiong seemed to regard her and Topa as his wives, Emerald offered a word of advice: although having a man who is devoted to protecting you is not necessarily a bad thing, Emerald has not yet considered making that investment.
