Chapter 757

Mí: ……

Da Bai: ……

Xiao Feng's remark is still quite high‑level!

After this introduction, both sides immediately became honest.

Mí heard that Da Bai the crane was actually a 7th‑grade spirit beast, and its former strength had reached the Upper God realm, far stronger than she! Facing such a powerful being, even if she was unhappy, she had to restrain herself a bit, especially since the other party was her master's mount.

Da Bai was simply afraid of really being stewed.

After all, these two guys in front of them look like tough characters!

Now the crane, under the eaves, has no choice but to lower its head—hide when it should hide, yield when it should yield; any grudges can wait until it becomes powerful to repay!

Besides, there seems to be no grudge at all—it was the crane that started trash‑talking…

After a while, the atmosphere eased a little, and Mí replied: 'In recent years the treasury's income has failed to cover expenses, leaving barely anything left. If the master continues to demand such large amounts of divine stones, I will also find it difficult.'

Xiao Feng showed understanding.

As a low‑ranking divine nation, the War God Nation having little wealth is understandable.

He has already taken 1.2 billion divine stones here, which is indeed a considerable sum.

Anyway, it's enough now to nurture the Chaos Tree to its growth stage, so he shouldn't need to ask her for money in the short term.

He said: 'The Crazy‑Annihilation Barbarian God is dead, so your divine nation can be considered stabilized. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way.'

The sole purpose of his visit to the War God Nation this time is to kill the master god.

The War Horn hasn't been fully unsealed yet; taking it would be useless, so it can continue to be kept with the little maid.

'Hmm.' Mí nodded.

Xiao Feng rose to leave.

At this moment Mí suddenly called out to him: 'Master…'

'What else?' Xiao Feng asked.

The female war god's exquisite face showed a troubled expression; she found it hard to speak.

Looking like that, it seems to be some difficult‑to‑mention issue.

'Speak straight, stop beating around the bush—I'm in a hurry.' Xiao Feng frowned.

Having obtained the Grand Void Ring, he plans to immediately head to Return Wind Spirit Island to set a coordinate for easy daily return. He doesn't want to waste even a minute outside!

Seeing him in a hurry to leave, Mí quickly dropped her reserve, stepped forward and said: 'I, I would like to borrow… a divine artifact from the master.'

'What?' Xiao Feng glared.

This woman is getting full of herself!

After lending her the War Horn and still not satisfied, she wants to borrow more?

After battling the master and the Crazy‑Annihilation Barbarian God,

I realized my strength is still too weak. The War God Nation currently has no divine artifact, and since the master slew the Crazy‑Annihilation Barbarian God, he must have obtained his gauntlets… so I wish to borrow that item—not for long, just a year! After a year I will return from the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, and then I will not only return the gauntlets to the master but also offer an additional divine artifact as repayment!

'Only a year? I've only been playing this game for less than half a year!' Xiao Feng retorted directly.

He then added: 'You talk as if going to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield guarantees you'll come back alive. Even if you don't die, how can you dare guarantee you'll obtain another divine artifact? Little sister, confidence is good, but blind boasting is not—it easily leads to broken promises!'

'I…'

Mí's expression turned bitter.

She also knew her strength was lacking, which is why she wanted to borrow a divine artifact.

A master god without a divine artifact can exert at most seventy‑to‑eighty percent of full strength; facing an opponent of the same realm, they easily suffer a great loss, and going to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield makes life or death uncertain.

Xiao Feng possesses several divine artifacts; she believes that as his contracted servant she counts as one of his own, so borrowing one he himself doesn't use should not be difficult.

She never expected that after speaking up, she would be refused.

For a moment she lowered her head, her expression gloomy, and sighed.

'Yes… I understand, subordinate.'

'Tsk tsk, good brother, I didn't realize your mouth is even more poisonous than mine. After all, she's a pretty Fairy Maiden and also your contracted little slave; even if you don't lend treasures, you should at least cherish her, refusing in a gentler tone—for example: "Ah, it's not that I don't want to lend, mainly I don't want you to risk your life in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield." That way she wouldn't be sad about not being able to borrow, and might even feel grateful for your concern—more profit for you!'

From the side came Da Bai's weighty‑toned voice.

Xiao Feng tilted his head, mouth twitching: 'Aren't you a sprayer? How did you become a life‑emotion coach?'

Da Bai folded its wings, strode forward elegantly two steps, straightened its neck, and declared proudly: 'As an existence that has lived for ten thousand years, I am utterly proficient in every respect; teaching you two youngsters is no problem at all!'

'Teach a hammer class!' Xiao Feng kicked it angrily.

Then he turned serious and asked Mí: 'You really want to go to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield?'

Mí nodded, tone firm: 'My bloodline is defective, my aptitude limited; as a lower god I've reached my limit. To become stronger, the only way is to go to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield and endure life‑and‑death trials, which offers a slim chance!'

'Alas, such a fine money‑tree—it would be a pity if it died.' Xiao Feng sighed.

After thinking, he still took out the divine artifact 【Star‑Shatterer Gauntlets】 and handed it to her.

'Master?'

The divine artifact emitting powerful energy fluctuations lay before her

, and Mí's gaze toward him shifted instantly.

Having just refused so harshly, he now produced it so readily.

What on earth is he thinking?

Could it be just because of a single sentence from Da Bai the crane?

Xiao Feng said: 'Take it; my friend nearby can't use this thing for now. When his level is sufficient I'll come fetch it back. But let me speak plainly first—you'd better not die in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield, or if you lose my divine artifact I'll directly loot your treasury to make up for it!'

Mí lightly pursed her vermilion lips, remaining silent for a moment.

Then she nodded and said: 'Thank you.'

'Just those two words, "thank you"?' Xiao Feng's serious expression vanished instantly, replaced by a teasing smile.

Ah, no…… otherwise what?

Mi retreated half a step, seeing he was somewhat improper, her heart couldn't help but panic.

Although she was the ruler of a country, after all she was also a woman, she understood that after signing a master-servant contract she might encounter what kind of things.

If Xiao Feng were to make some excessive demands, she would be……

Under Mi's panicked gaze, Xiao Feng's mouth twitched slightly as he said, "Just thanks, you forgot to call master?"

Ah, this……

Mi was stunned for a moment, at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Thank you, master!" she quickly added.

This cry of 'master' was more willingly given than any previous time.

She secretly rejoiced in her heart; fortunately, the master she encountered was not the sort with a mind full of lewd thoughts, otherwise it would be unbearable to imagine.

"Let's go."

Xiao Feng said nothing more, after leaving the main divine artifact gauntlets with her, he mounted the Da Bai crane and flew toward the teleportation array.

Mi watched his receding figure as he rode the crane away, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Holding a bunch of ferocious gauntlets in her arms, her heart felt somewhat complicated.

Such a powerful, yet so young man, is truly something she has rarely seen in her life……

Xiao Feng's figure soon disappeared.

But after a while, a thought suddenly sounded in her heart.

Xiao Feng asked her: "Last time you said the War God Kingdom still had two main divine artifacts, who had taken them away respectively?"

Ah, this……

Mi hesitated, then replied: "The War Holy Sword was borrowed by the Ocean Main God, the Indestructible Divine Armor by the Elephant Main God; it's been two thousand years. Master suddenly asks about this, could it be that you want to……"

"When do you have free time, master will take you to get them back. Hmm…… I'll take a 50% commission, one of them goes to me, is that fair?"

Er, this……
