The living quarters provided by the Dragon Palace for the envoys were pretty good. Each of them had their own room, and although it was only a guest room, it was still extremely luxurious, as if they were afraid that others would not know they were rich.
Hua Ruge touched the black immortal crystal table, looked at the precious stone bed, the pearl drapes and other things that made her want to commit a crime. Fortunately she was rich enough, otherwise, she would have to do something that was not on the same level as her status.
Lying on the bed, she rested her hands on her pillow and looked at the bed board above, her eyes full of thought.
Tianhai's performance today had indeed taken her by surprise. With her understanding of these sea beasts, they were all one-eyed creatures. How had she managed to learn how to stall for time now?
Although stalling for time was just as she had thought, she was still somewhat flustered, afraid that Tianhai would think of something else.
Once the sea beasts' goal was no longer simple, it would be difficult for the Dinghai Bead to defend.
Thinking that she couldn't be sure of what had happened in the end, she decided to go to sleep and wait until the negotiations were over tomorrow.
Although he slept in a strange environment, Hua Ruge still left behind a trace of his mental vigilance before resting.
Early the next morning, someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Hua Ruge asked lazily.
"The servant came to deliver the morning tea." A soft female voice came from outside.
Hua Ruge thought that the treatment was not bad.
The door opened to receive the tea, and after a simple wash, Hua Ruge started to eat without a trace of politeness. Although there were no complicated techniques, the food was still delicious, and Hua Ruge liked the taste very much.
"Just a little less." She walked out of the room.
Gao Jin, who was resting next to her, walked out before her and was stretching. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "I haven't slept for a long time. This sleep of mine sure is comfortable."
"Yeah." Hua Ruge said as well.
She was embarrassed to say that she rarely cultivated during the day and night, and breakthrough all came from the Devouring Beast.
At this moment, the old man from yesterday flew over and landed on the empty ground. He smiled and said to the two of them, "You two are quite early."
"Thank you for your hospitality. The dessert is very delicious." Hua Ruge said after returning the greeting.
"As long as you like it." The old man seemed to be easy to talk to. He was smiling all the time like a kind elder.
The people who came to negotiate came out one after another, and Tang Qin was still as friendly as before.
"Everyone, please come with me. Grand Prince and the Third Prince have been waiting for you." The old man led the way.
Everyone soared into the sky and arrived outside a hall almost instantaneously.
Walking into the main hall, he saw a stone table in the middle. There were stone chairs on both sides of the table and two men were standing beside the table. One of them was the Third Prince who went to greet them yesterday.
The other Grand Prince was also very handsome, with a bit of cinnabar on his forehead that added a lot to his looks.
He cupped his hands towards the crowd and said: "This one is Ao Qin, and this is third brother Ao Feng. Let us brothers discuss this in detail."
"Grand Prince is too courteous, you and the Third Prince are truly dragons and phoenixes among men, you really make us yearn for you." Tang Qin stepped forward and said amiably.
"Everyone, please take a seat." Ao Qin did not make any more emojis after being praised, and just remained calm and collected.
On the other side of the God Domain table, Hua Ruge was seated below Tang Qin. Opposite him was the third prince, Ao Feng.
Ao Feng's expression was still as disdainful as yesterday, he hadn't said anything since he came in.
The completely opposite attitude of the two brothers caused the people of the diplomatic mission to have another guess.2
Could it be that the interior of the Sky Sea was not made of iron? Rather, what are the differences of opinion?
Hua Ruge could not help but look at the two's expressions, but she did not have any thoughts in her mind, as she did not want her own judgement to be affected first.
Tang Qin sat in front of Ao Qin, and after he sat down, he asked: "Has Grand Prince seen the letter we sent over regarding the negotiation?"
"I've seen it. I, Tianhai, also do not wish to continue this stalemate. So as long as the conditions are suitable, we are willing to negotiate." The Grand Prince said indifferently.
Third Prince Ao Feng gave an inaudible snort, expressing his dissatisfaction.
Tang Qin nodded his head, "That's right. If possible, we would naturally want to turn hostility into friendship and become good friends with Tianhai Yongxian."
"Just what I want." The Grand Prince smiled and said, "I wonder what kind of terms the continent has for the negotiation of peace?"
Tang Qin pondered for a while, then said: "I believe that Grand Prince knows our objective for coming here, and will not be able to report back until I return."
His meaning was already very clear.
When Ao Qin heard that he had raised this condition, she was also troubled. Thus, she said: "Dinghai Bead s are the only way to preserve this Five Territories. Our Sky Sea has promised to protect this place for generations to come, so we will not hand it over.
"Grand Prince's thinking is wrong. The rules of the God Domain have been in place for thousands of years, and now, it's no longer enough for Dinghai Bead to protect it. To put it bluntly, Tianhai is protecting the Four Territories."
Tang Qin continued, "That Four Territories is both backward and weak, but it's still an ant-like existence. There's no need for us to put our lives on the line for those lowly people."
While he was speaking, the Grand Prince seemed to be tempted.
Hua Ruge was furious, he was cursing Tang Qin in his heart.
You are the ant, your whole family is the ant!
However, the Third Prince opened his mouth: "No matter how weak the Four Territories, it was once a part of the Five Continents. Our ancestors swore to protect it, and we would never waver."
"Third brother." Grand Prince cried in rebuke.
"The dragon clan values our credibility the most. Since we've agreed to it, no matter what the reason is, we can't go back on it." Third prince Ao Feng stood up and argued.
"Now that the situation is different, we should have more room for discussion." Ao Qin looked at him and frowned. "Sit."
Ao Feng looked like he still listened to Ao Qin's words, although he was unwilling, he still sat down.
"Sorry for the ridicule." Ao Qin said to the diplomatic mission.
Tang Qin waved his hand: "It's fine, the third prince is still young, so it's hard to avoid him having a bit of anger."
"Old fellow, I still don't know your age." Hearing this, Ao Feng interrupted.
Ao Qin looked at Ao Feng snappily, turned around and apologized to Tang Qin.
Tang Qin was a person who valued others dearly, so it was natural for her to be angry at him for saying such words. However, there was no way for her to do it, so she could only reply: "It's alright."
Hua Ruge secretly laughed when he saw that Tang Qin had lost face. It was really hard to defend against Third Prince Ao Feng, who was acting foolishly.
