The peach blossom brother and the handsome young man couldn't make it work, since they hadn't had time to take off their shoes yet. "I surrender, Qin Feng, the immortal. You and I are equal negotiating representatives. You can't treat me this way," he said sincerely. "I truly respect you now. Please, let me go." Qin Shao turned to Chen Jie and Chen Xi, shrugged, and said, "Sorry, it seems you've arrived a bit late." "Qin brother, even if we can't win, we should at least give him a good beating," the peach blossom brother insisted. He chuckled. "Can't you see? He's already been thoroughly beaten—his cheeks have been smacked dozens of times by the soles of our shoes. That's our revenge. He's already begging for mercy. We can't go too far, can we?" The handsome young man nodded with a touch of resignation. "Then, alright. Given his current condition, he's certainly more miserable than we were when we were being attacked. Immortal, listen to me—should you show any further disrespect, I'll have you killed…咳咳, I should say, I'll have Qin brother kill you." "Safitos had hardly any trace of royal dignity left, looking pitiful and saying, "You guys can rest assured—I absolutely won't." He set down his hammer and sat down casually. Chen Xi and Chen Jie stood proudly behind him, acting as the two generals. As for Safitos, he was bending slightly, standing across from him, having finally realized the true strength of Qin Feng. Earlier, he had dared to speak critically, believing that a mere newcomer who had only recently ascended to the divine realm couldn't possibly be that impressive—even if they clashed, he thought he'd still come out on top. He simply couldn't understand why he had lost so decisively, so without a fight. Was this really a fresh ascended deity? If the current ascended beings were this powerful, then he truly had stepped into a world of iron resistance. "Now, Safitos, shall we talk?" Qin asked, his gaze sharp and direct, clearly signaling, "You think you can be uncooperative? I'll give you a good lesson." "Master Qin, this is Safigtos, the King of the Crystal Kingdom of the Magic Realm." He replied. "I know," Qin Shao hummed. "What I mean is, I'm Safigtos, not Little Sa." He corrected. "Can't you just call me Little Sa?" Qin Feng narrowed his eyes. "My name is Qin Feng, Master of the Dao. Many people call me Little Qin—of course, that's perfectly acceptable, especially my elders. I've never objected to it." Safigtos blushed deeply, thinking: You certainly haven't objected—do you call me Little Sa because it's convenient for you? When did you become one of my elders? Qin Shao ignored his expression and continued: "Little Sa, you've come all the way from afar. What exactly do you wish to discuss with me? Our heavenly court values reason—feel free to speak your mind." That's still reasonable. To simply knock someone senseless at the drop of a hat—your sense of dignity is truly thick. He furrowed his brow, stating with the demeanor of a negotiator, "Several months ago, our army was ambushed by celestial forces while stationed on Earth, suffering severe losses. Therefore, we believe the Celestial Court should take responsibility for this incident and provide us with a clear explanation." Qin Shao's eyes flashed. "Since you never declared war on the magical race, but suddenly appeared and caught us off guard, this is indeed an unbecoming act," Safitos believed he had the upper hand and spoke with firm dignity, "Therefore, you must bear certain consequences for your actions." Qin Feng smiled. "Ah, so the issue is that you didn't declare war. Then I'd like to ask you—when the magical race invaded Earth, did they declare war on us? According to your logic, shouldn't they first compensate us for our losses before coming to the Celestial Court with demands?" "That...," Safitos remained silent, but quickly countered, "This isn't a matter of the same level. Humans and the magical race, or the immortals, are fundamentally at different levels. Therefore, our invasion of Earth is a completely different matter from the Celestial Army's surprise attack on our forces." "You're saying that the magical race is more advanced, and thus humans have no right to demand compensation from you, correct?" Qin Feng's expression slightly changed. Safitos stiffened his neck, "Exactly like that. Also, my army—well, actually, four ten thousand strong—was ultimately wiped out in the defeat. You Earthlings share some responsibility. Without you, the Heavenly Army never would have launched a surprise attack." Qin thought, "My own face must already be thick, but I never expected it to get thicker today. Truly, I've learned something new." He suppressed his rising frustration and smiled calmly, asking, "Then, what does the Magian representative propose as compensation? What do you require for us to accept this humiliation?" Adhering to the principle of demanding high prices and settling for what's available, Safitos solemnly extended three fingers and said, "We request three planets similar to Earth—Earth included." "Three planets similar to Earth—do we have any within our Heavenly Realm?" he turned to Qingya. Qingya nodded. "Even three isn't enough—there could be thirty, and Earth would be no more than a grain of sand among the countless realms and universes." He turned back to Safitos and said, "Three? That's quite a appetite for you." "Safitos snorted. "This is our minimum. For a mere Earth, we've sacrificed over 80% of our military forces on Crystalline King Planet. To ask for just three planets—can that be considered unreasonable?" Qin Shao lost patience and stood up abruptly from his chair, shouting, "You're out of touch with reality! I never intended to fight you—this is entirely your fault. One decisive blow, and you're done!" A flash of brilliance—Hao Tian's hammer—sailed through the air, crashing toward Safitos. Immediately, Safitos cried out in pain, "Qin Feng! You're being unreasonable! We're still in negotiations—how can you strike now? You, you, you—stop! I protest!" "The protest is useless—I'm going to punch you. Show some spirit and fight back! Hey, you actually did fight back? Chen Jie, Chen Xi, you two—didn't you just argue earlier about wanting to settle scores? The chance was right in front of you, and you didn't even move. Both of you glance at each other and simultaneously roll up their sleeves to join the fight."
