"Since we're already here, what's inappropriate about it?"

Qiong pulled Han Ya up by the hand. Han Ya had no choice but to try shouting "Go for it!" Her voice was immediately drowned out by the cheers around her. No one cared what she was saying. The atmosphere infected her, and she started cheering for Topa at a speed of several dozen words per second. No one could hear what she was saying, but she was definitely cheering him on.

"Oh..."

Topa suddenly rubbed her arms with her palms. She looked around and felt as if someone was casting a spell on her. Could it be some kind of magic from the celestial ship that had been cast on her? Anyway, a chill ran down her spine.

At this moment, Luca seized the opportunity, rushed forward a few steps, jumped up, and smashed a mech's head with his iron fist. After destroying the mech's head, he used the recoil to get in front of Topa and swung his fist out, which landed right in front of Topa's face.

The force of the punch scattered Toppa's white hair, but her eyes did not flinch, as if the fist in front of her had no power and she knew it would stop.

"Why didn't you move aside?" Luca asked, puzzled.

"There's no point in hiding, you can't hurt me anyway."

Topa said calmly that with her strength, if she really fought seriously, it would only take a few minutes to fight her way from here to Yanqing. One-tenth of the envoy's strength is not a joke; it can really kill someone. Therefore, she was destined not to go all out.

"You didn't lift a finger from beginning to end; you just controlled those mechs to fight."

Luca lowered his fist and said that Topa had actually made a few moves, firing a few bullets with his pistol, but Luca blocked them all with his iron arm, so he felt no joy of victory at all.

"I'm not a Celestial Ship person, nor do I have the obsession of using all my strength to hunt a rabbit. If someone of my level were to bully a young person, I'd be laughed to death."

Topa disregarded Luca's dignity and spoke the truth, making it clear that he wasn't there for a serious fight. Although Luca felt a bit aggrieved, he understood the difference in strength. Forcing Topa to go all out was something he neither had the right nor the ability to do; it would only make him seem unreasonable.

"Are you deliberately letting me win?" Luca asked.

"Not really, since you did come up here and threaten me. If you can't even beat those mechs, you deserve to be eliminated here."

Topa shook her head and said that she hadn't personally intervened, but she hadn't held back when commanding the mechs. However, Luca had indeed won, so she acknowledged his performance.

"Since you're representing Belloberg, keep climbing the ranks and don't embarrass your emperor."

Topa turned around and waved to Luca. Now that she had a close relationship with Qiong, she naturally had to consider his feelings. Besides, Luca had indeed defeated part of the company's force with his own strength.

The moment Topa left the arena, it meant she had conceded defeat. Luca then turned to look at the scattered fragments of the mecha in the arena and felt that he was still pretty good at fighting and shouldn't have let Qiong down.

Chapter 356 Girlfriend +1

"Ouch, my stomach hurts a little. I'll be back in a bit."

Qiong, clutching her stomach, got up from her seat, said something to Han Ya and March 7, and then quickly slipped away. Topa had just returned from the game, so of course he had to take care of his new girlfriend.

Han Ya watched Qiong leave without saying anything. But a while after Qiong left, a pair of snow-white pantyhose came into her sight, and a beautiful doll named Ru Xue sat down beside her.

"Sister?"

Han Ya called out instinctively, her eyes filled with surprise. She hadn't expected to run into Xue Yi here. She was on vacation, but she hadn't heard that her sister could come to watch the competition.

"Don't be surprised. I used my own efforts to bring you back to life. It was originally prepared for you, but someone beat me to it."

Xueyi squinted at Hanya and said, "This is a kind of smile. Because the doll's body is not detailed enough to reproduce a smile, it looks strange."

"he..."

Han Ya wanted to explain to his sister, but found there was nothing to explain. He had no relationship with Qiong; it was just that Qiong had acted on his own initiative.

“Little sister, you don’t need to explain. I’ve been watching you for a long time. You never had a man in your life, which was a regret. I never thought that you could make up for such a regret after you died. I’m very happy.”

Xueyi still squinted as she spoke, looking somewhat happy. Such an emotion was almost impossible for these two sisters. Xueyi vaguely remembered that when they were in the Youju Prison, Qiong had called her "sister-in-law." She thought it was just a joke, and Qiong's status meant that she couldn't possibly go and settle scores with him for such a joke. But surprisingly, he seemed to be serious and actually took the initiative to ask Hanya to go out and play. This was something Xueyi never dared to dream of.

"It's not what you think. We're already separated by life and death," the crow said, shaking its head.

"The separation of Yin and Yang is used to deceive ordinary people into letting go, but for some special individuals, this statement is like a joke. Look at that person, he completely ignores the laws of the Immortal Ship."

Xueyi had her own opinion on this. If it were someone else in person, she would make the matter sound very serious, but she couldn't control Qiong's thoughts. Qiong didn't believe in this stuff, so why would she lie to her sister?

"After that accident, we were no longer human. The Ten Kings' kindness allowed us to work in the Ten Kings' Office and prevented us from entering annihilation. Isn't that because we still had some thoughts? When we completely sever those thoughts, that will be the time when we truly disappear."

Xueyi said calmly that she and Hanya should have died long ago. The death here is not the demise of the body, but the destruction of the spirit and soul. Only the Ten Kings can control such things. Since the Ten Kings did not allow them to die, they can still live in another form, but this form is torture for them.

Han Ya suffers from severe insomnia and cannot sleep without medication. Although she claims to be dead, she still needs some sleep to recover, otherwise she will not be far from becoming a demonic being. Xue Yi, on the other hand, has memory problems. Every time she changes bodies, she loses a part of her memories. Now, apart from knowing that Han Ya is her sister and the most important treasure she cannot forget, Xue Yi can hardly remember anything else. When she forgets who Han Ya is, it will be time for her to perish.

"Little sister, have you been having nightmares lately?"

Xueyi said to Hanya that it was their sister's deepest nightmare. Xueyi had forgotten many things, but she still couldn't forget that one. It was precisely this kind of painful memory that was the hardest to forget and that she couldn't escape.

“If we don’t drink,” said the crow.

"It's rare to find someone other than me who's willing to listen to you, so why not confide in them?"

Xueyi was giving Hanya advice, and for once she felt like she had returned to the past, living under the blue sky. The older sister was giving her younger sister advice on how to get along with men. What a wonderful life this was!

"Ah."

Han Ya responded and Xue Yi left. She had very few holidays, and she was already satisfied with just a few words. Han Ya, on the other hand, was thinking about what was going on between herself and Qiong, but she couldn't figure it out even after thinking for a long time.

Qiong was completely unaware that his sister-in-law was helping him out. He slipped into Toppa's lounge and immediately saw Miss Yelena sitting on the sofa working. His gaze fell on her crossed legs, which were so beautiful that he couldn't take his eyes off them.

"Yelena, my wife, you've worked hard. Although you lost, you still captivated me. I am your best prize."

Qiong sat down next to Topa and sneakily rubbed her hands against her thighs. Just as she was about to succeed, Zhangzhang suddenly rushed over and lay down on Topa's lap. Qiong touched Zhangzhang's buttocks, making him grin and show his teeth.

"Using someone like you as a prize, the people of Xianzhou really have no taste."

Toppa couldn't help but laugh when he saw Qiong's distorted expression. He stroked Zhang Zhang's head with practiced ease and said...

"Do you want to come watch the game with me, or do you want to go talk to Jingyuan now? Don't worry, he won't make things difficult for you with me here."

Qiong didn't argue with Topa, but gave her two choices. Miss Yelena didn't choose directly, but looked at him with gentle eyes.

"I never expected that you, who were once the emperor of a small regime, could now stand on equal footing with General Xianzhou. Investing in you was definitely the right decision, but I'm not entirely satisfied with the return."

When Toppa first met Sora, she felt that this guy was a rare find. She originally thought that she would invest in him and build connections for the future, which would be the best return. But now she wants to be Sora's girlfriend. What kind of return is that?

Are you still not satisfied with me?

Qiong pointed to himself and asked in surprise, as if he were the embodiment of credit points, and no one could help but like him.

"Too much of a womanizer."

Topa hit the nail on the head, while Qiong awkwardly scratched the back of his head. There was really no way to argue about this. Anyway, he was like this with everyone; he would fall in love with every beautiful woman he saw.

"Let's go, there's still some time. I'll watch the game with you for a while. I also want to know how far Luca can fight."

Topa stood up and said to Qiong, she was not in a hurry to go and negotiate with Jingyuan, but planned to give Qiong a break first. How could someone as shrewd as Topa not know that he wanted to be with her? It was also her first time dating, so everything else could wait.

"Hey, honey, I just want to thank you. You were his sparring partner before, right? You helped him grow in adversity. You're so kind of me."

Qiong grabbed Topa's hand and said happily. Someone of his level could see that if Topa wanted to win, she could defeat Luca with the mechs even without lifting a finger, but she didn't do that.

Chapter 357 Give Me Face

“I also own shares in Belloberg.”

Topa casually remarked that what she cared about was no longer money, but something more meaningful, such as the share of the Earth Mine, which was something given to her by Qiong, and it felt warmer than just digital credits.

"Hmm, okay, you really are my lucky cat."

“You’re the cat. (7) Ball Four Doves 3 罒”

Toppa rolled her eyes at Qiong, who smiled and approached her, kissing her round cheek. She wasn't angry and let Qiong do some things that weren't too outrageous. They returned to the audience seats together.

"Isn't this Miss Topa? It's been a long time."

March 7 remained seated in her original spot. She wasn't surprised at all when she saw Qiong return with Toppa. She knew what this guy was planning to do once he showed some signs of something.

"Hello, Miss March, your outfit is really beautiful."

Topa and March 7th had always spoken politely, and when they met, they exchanged pleasantries, with Topa praising March 7th's unique style.

"Of course, I still have a battle to fight later."

March 7th said proudly. Topa seemed a little surprised and glanced at Qiong next to him, only to find that he was already sitting down. Each seat in the stands of the Racing Ship was numbered, so there was no such thing as squeezing in. Therefore, Topa was standing now.

“Honey, sit here.”

Qiong patted his thigh and said, his despicable thoughts were obvious. Topa looked at him with a mix of laughter and tears. She didn't know when this guy had started scheming against her. She knew that Qiong had always been interested in her buttocks. It wasn't like she wanted them to be this big. What could she do about her natural advantage? She wasn't going to give Qiong a chance to succeed. She turned around and was about to leave.

Qiong suddenly rushed out and grabbed Topa's slender waist, pulling her and forcibly sitting her down in the seat. When Topa's buttocks landed on his thighs, Qiong felt a sense of comfort all over his body and let out a long sigh.

"Hmm... I'd be willing to live two years less."

Sora pressed her cheek against Topa's back and said this, while Topa angrily tapped Sora's arm twice and then sat there without moving.

In this position, Qiong obviously couldn't see any of the matches, but he was happy to stay with Topa like this. They watched several matches like this, and Qiong took full advantage of Topa, touching his waist and legs. Topa could definitely feel that he was infatuated with her, but she didn't want to resist. After all, this was the first man she had ever fallen for in all the time she had been single.

After all the matches for the day were over, Qiong and Toppa left their seats and headed to the Shence Mansion together. Han Ya didn't know anyone around, so he naturally went along as well, and could also catch up on the situation of the Youqiu Prison.

"General Jingyuan, this is my wife. I guarantee she is a good person."

Qiong looked at Jing Yuan and spoke very sincerely. Jing Yuan rubbed his forehead, feeling a little tired. This Qiong kid really has a wife everywhere. If she were just an ordinary person, it would be fine, but this Topa is not easy to deal with, especially at the negotiating table.

"General Jingyuan, we apologize for the trouble caused by the personal actions of our company employees. As you know, there are bad people everywhere, which is beyond our control. However, we are willing to compensate for the losses suffered by the Immortal Ship."

Topa found that he could talk to Jingyuan, so he got straight to the point and tried to downplay the matter. Of course, he couldn't say that the company wanted to see the Immortal Ship catch fire and secretly did it behind the scenes. Even if it were, he would say no. A personal action would be enough to explain it. After all, there were such people in the Immortal Ship who colluded with Bu Liren from the inside. There was nothing to refute.

"What a fine compensation! If I hadn't been here to keep things under control this time, and Hu Lei had run off and wreaked havoc, would your company have been able to afford to pay for it?"

A spirited voice interrupted the conversation. Toppa looked at the woman who was the easiest to deal with, the strongest and most capable fighter on the Immortal Ship at this stage, General Feixiao.

"If General Feixiao hadn't come to visit Hulei, Buliren probably wouldn't have had the opportunity to take advantage of him."

Toppa smiled and took the barbed words back, easily defusing Feixiao's aggressive stance. It even felt like he was turning the tables on Feixiao. That's why he said Feixiao was easy to deal with. He could fight, but he was really not as good as Jingyuan and Huaiyan in negotiations.

"I like the sharp-tongued, cunning henchmen of the company."

Feixiao grinned, but his gaze toward Topa seemed to want to tear a piece of flesh from her. Topa subconsciously avoided that gaze, but she was full of confusion. Compared to the damage to the Immortal Boat, Feixiao's expression just now seemed to be a personal grudge. Topa did not remember offending the Immortal Boat General outside of the negotiations. Even if she were given a few more yellow jades, she would not dare to do so.

"Listen to me, everyone. Don't put Qiong in a difficult position. Since the company has admitted its mistake, let's hand over the culprit and imprison him in the Dark Prison so that he can suffer a fate worse than death."

Huaiyan spoke up at this moment. He was the oldest among them and was intentionally speaking up for Qiong. After all, a grandson-in-law is a grandson-in-law, even if he is a womanizer like a scumbag, he still had to help him.

"You have all thoroughly interrogated the company's entourage, so you probably know more than I do. As for the culprit, since it was an employee's personal act, the person who was misled is the culprit."

Topa is quite good at playing dumb. Huaiyan clearly meant that there was someone hiding behind the scenes, and he wanted Topa to hand them over. But Topa couldn't possibly investigate all her colleagues one by one just because of Xianzhou's demands. How could she face anyone in the company after that? Admittedly, there are corrupt people doing bad things in the company, but that's not something she can interfere with. The chain of interests is too complicated. It would probably require Diamond to take action personally. If Diamond were involved, the nature of the situation would be different. It would become a confrontation between the protectors and the hunters. Just thinking about it made Ling Shi's scalp tingle.

"In that case, let me make a few requests."

Jingyuan also knew that Toppa couldn't possibly investigate the company's people, and they had no evidence to prove that it wasn't done by an individual employee. Since the company's people dared to take on this kind of order, they certainly wouldn't leave any handle for others to use against them. At this level, no one is a fool.

Jing Yuan's demands were simple: in addition to compensation, he demanded that the company and Xianzhou join forces to wipe out the people from the Boshi Society. This referred to those who manufactured the Buli Ren armor. If the company could still try to deny any knowledge of the matter, then those Boshi Society members who were blinded by the benefits were definitely going to die. How could they expect to get away unscathed after doing something that offended the Xunlie faction to the death?

Chapter 358 Keeping pets makes people happy

"Well, I've only been on Immortal Ship for a short time, so I have plenty of time. Let me think about it and we can talk another day."

Toppa did not immediately agree to Jingyuan's conditions, but postponed them for some time. Jingyuan's request clearly intended to drag the company into dealing with the people of the Boshi Society. Although Xianzhou was not afraid of this youth version of the Genius Club, it would indeed be difficult to offend all its members.

Although this time they had a legitimate reason to act, it felt a bit unreasonable for only the people from the Immortal Boat to go. Bringing the company along made it seem like two top galactic powers were taking action against certain people from the Bo Shi Society. They definitely had to think about their own reasons, otherwise, how could they have provoked two giants?

Topa's meaning was also very clear: she didn't want the company to get involved in the mess. The people of Xianzhou liked to hunt and offend people, but businessmen believed in making money through harmony. However, the Xianzhou side would never let the company have it so easy. After all, Bu Liren was sent to Xianzhou by them, and there was an inextricable relationship between them.

After bidding farewell to the three generals, Toppa pulled Qiong away from the Shence Mansion. The pressure there was too great, and she didn't want to stay there for even a second longer.

"Qiong, why is General Feixiao staring at me? She's so scary."

Before leaving the Shence Mansion, Toppa asked Qiong a very important question. She felt that the other two generals looked at her normally, but Feixiao looked a little strange. As someone familiar with the place, Qiong should know why.

"Well, it's probably because I referred to you as my wife, and she doesn't get along well with the people at the company."

Qiong scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and said, "Everything has its good and bad sides. He solved the problem of Topa being disliked, but he attracted Feixiao's attention, which can be considered as pushing her into a fire pit."

"Just because I'm your wife? And not for some other reason?"

Topa looked at Qiong with disbelief and said that the claim that Feixiao disliked her lacked the necessary conditions. Not to mention that she was not Qiong's wife, even if she were, what did it have to do with Feixiao?

"Because Feixiao is also my wife, she probably thinks that you might lie to me if you stay by my side, after all, the company's reputation in Xianzhou is not very good."

Qiong gave an awkward smile and told Toppa what the necessary condition was. Miss Yelena was completely taken aback after hearing it. She looked up at the sky above the fairy ship with a sense of existential doubt. This was the fairy ship, not Pinocchio. Qiong was daydreaming.

"Are you kidding me? You can marry a general from the Immortal Ship?"

Topa's expression was bitter and tinged with despair. She had never imagined that she would be competing with a Commander for a man. If he were just a Commander, that would be one thing, but he was also a General of the Celestial Ship, whose power far exceeded that of her, a senior executive in the company.

"Why not? Why not marry such a beautiful woman and let her grow old naturally?"

Qiong said confidently that, from a business perspective, there was indeed nothing to refute about this; it would be a huge loss to marry a woman if she wasn't married at her most beautiful age. But Toppa felt that this was not the case.

"One of us must have gone mad, no, it must be Feixiao who's gone mad."

Topa complained that she wasn't surprised at all that Qiong dared to pursue Ling Shi, but she couldn't understand why Ling Shi would be willing to marry him. Before she could continue, the sound of high heels hitting the ground came from beside them, and at the same time, a pair of arms wrapped around Qiong and Topa's necks.

"Foxes have good ears, and it's not good to talk behind people's backs."
