Star Iron: Cat Renaissance Abundance

Chapter 170: Meet Hua Again

Bai Ling's figure swayed slightly, and like a ghost, she instantly transformed into a different appearance. The graceful female form vanished, replaced by a body that looked just like any other man on a fairy boat. With steady steps, he stepped onto the fairy boat named Xu Ling.

Bai Ling slowly walked out of the alley, his gaze fixed on the familiar yet unfamiliar Xuling Immortal Boat before him. Although it had only been a short time since his last visit, it seemed that not many noticeable changes had taken place. Bai Ling couldn't help but sigh inwardly, feeling the calm before the storm.

Over the same three-year period, the Fertility Alliance was expanding its territory at an unprecedented rate. In just three years, their share of the galaxy had rapidly climbed from approximately 30% to nearly 50%! Moreover, this expansion wasn't a chaotic invasion, but rather a governance model similar to the ancient feudal system—centered around seemingly indestructible cities, radiating outward and controlling the vast territories surrounding them.

Under the threat of these powerful cities, the relatively weaker civilizations and numerous scattered small forces in the surrounding areas chose to move closer. They were like scattered "villages and towns", closely surrounding the "cities".

Bai Ling walked calmly towards the Marshal's Mansion. Passersby on the road automatically avoided her, leaving a space of their own for Bai Ling.

Even the patrolling cloud cavalry would actively avoid Bai Ling, as if Bai Ling did not exist in the world.

The moment Bai Ling stepped onto the Xuling Immortal Boat, a sly look flashed across her beautiful face, followed by a subtle aura. Meanwhile, Marshal Hua, who was busy handling heavy official duties in the Marshal's Mansion, suddenly felt something, and his brows, previously focused on official documents, furrowed slightly.

"It's like this again! It's always like this..." Marshal Hua sighed inwardly, but still decided to get up and meet this uninvited guest.

Marshal Hua waved his sleeve lightly, and an invisible force quickly spread out, dispersing the busy people in the Marshal's Mansion. After confirming that no one else was around, Marshal Hua returned to his desk with confidence, putting aside the mountain of official business.

Hua then gracefully took the tea set, carefully selected some fine tea leaves, placed them in the pot, and slowly poured in boiling water. As time passed, the teapot was gradually enveloped by steam, and wisps of white smoke rose.

A moment later, when white smoke began to emerge from the spout of the teapot, Marshal Hua skillfully picked up the teapot and slowly poured the brewed fragrant tea into the exquisite teacup. Bai Ling had already sat on the empty seat in front of him without him noticing when.

"Well, I really didn't expect that you would make tea for me this time! Time has passed so quickly since we last parted, and three years have passed in a flash. To be honest, I never thought that you could endure for so long." Bai Ling said softly with a smile on her face, slowly stretched out her hand, carefully picked up the cup of tea that Hua had just brewed, first gently put it to her lips and blew air, and then took a small sip slowly.

However, as soon as she took a sip of the tea, Bai Ling's brow furrowed slightly, but then immediately returned to normal. She sighed inwardly, this tea still had no taste at all to her. But even so, her face still showed an expression of extreme enjoyment.

At this moment, Hua spoke, "Actually, even I didn't expect this. I always thought you would take the initiative to launch an offensive. Now it seems that what you said that day was indeed true."

"So, what are you doing here this time?!" Hua cast an unfriendly look at Bai Ling with an expressionless face, as if he wanted to see through her true intentions through her appearance.

Bai Ling slowly and gently put down the delicate teacup in her hand, then raised her head slightly and stared at Hua's eyes for a long moment. Suddenly, the corners of her mouth curled up, revealing a slightly contemptuous smile, and she whispered, "Could it be that in your eyes, my coming here is not just a simple gathering between friends?"

However, Hua didn't seem to care about this. He still looked calm. He picked up the cup of fragrant tea that he had just brewed in front of him, took a sip and said slowly:

"From what I know about you, you're not that free and bored. Besides, there's no friendship between you and me!"

After saying that, Hua stared thoughtfully at the tea leaves floating in the cup and fell into a brief silence.

Hearing this, Bai Ling was slightly startled at first, but quickly recovered. She nodded, indicating her agreement with Hua's point of view. Then her tone gradually became serious, even with a hint of hard-to-disguise coldness, and she said to Hua in a very majestic tone:

"Indeed, as you expected. Actually, I brought you here today precisely for the purpose of war! Under the premise that neither you nor I will take action, and the Star Gods will remain on the sidelines, let's see how far we can go with just our own strategies and methods."

When she said the last few words, she emphasized her tone and looked at Hua with burning eyes, waiting for his response.

After a moment, Hua finally broke the silence. He looked at Bai Ling with a serious expression and said in a deep voice:

"Indeed, neither you nor I wish to witness the day when the war between gods breaks out. The grudges and grievances are settled right now!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the room became increasingly tense and depressing, as if an invisible force was spreading between the two of them.

"Yes, right now. But I still want to show you, just by the aura of the Star God..."

A lotus appeared in Bai Ling's hand. It was the lotus platform that Bai Ling had stood on when he killed Dr. Yuanshi before. At this time, the lotus was floating quietly in Bai Ling's hand, and then Bai Ling placed it on Hua's desk.

Under the influence of the Star God's might, the table in front of Hua and Bai Ling slowly began to change, with each Star God influencing the shape of the table in his own way.

In the end, the table turned into an extremely strange state that was completely unrecognizable from its original form, combining distortion, inclusiveness, balance, and solidity into one.

"If a war of gods breaks out, the end of the universe will be no different from this table. This is not the outcome we want to see."

Hua glanced at the black and white floating in the air, then collected his thoughts, pondered for a moment, and said to Bai Ling: "Three battles, the victors will be kings and the losers will be bandits."

"Okay, three battles, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."

After Bai Ling finished speaking, she took the lotus floating in the air away, leaving Hua and the wooden table that had returned to its original state.

Hua looked at the tea set on the table. The tea in the teapot was just beginning to cool down.

After confirming that Bai Ling had left, Hua sighed, "Ah, it's really hard to figure out."
