Yanqing reluctantly agreed, somewhat troubled.
"Okay, all done. Sister March 7th, you can learn swordsmanship from Yanqing later."
"I feel like... something's not right?"
Yanqing scratched his head, not knowing why, but he had a feeling that Baizhi was just fooling him, saying that she wanted to put it into practice, but actually treating him like a beast of burden.
Bai Zhi smiled, then took out her phone to check it again, and realized that this delay had taken quite a long time. She wondered if the people on the other side of The Wandering Earth were getting impatient.
So, after offering a few words of encouragement to Yanqing, Baizhi quickly went to the department in charge of foreign affairs.
Upon seeing Bai Zhi, the Yunqi soldiers guarding the door immediately said, "Lady Bai Zhi, you've finally arrived! Besides the Earth Alliance Civilization, people from Belloberg have also come."
“The people of Belloberg say you are their supreme ruler and they want to find you.”
"Oh? Thank you for your help. I'll go in and find them right away."
Bai Zhi nodded slightly to Yun Qi and then went inside.
After being guided by staff, Bai Zhi arrived at a room. Pushing open the door, she found two separate small rooms where several familiar faces appeared.
Belloberg's companions are Seele, Luca, and Schwarz. On the other side, the one with a blue Earth icon on his arm is probably from The Wandering Earth.
After thinking about it, Bai Zhi decided to go to Belloberg's place first.
"Hey, we meet again. I didn't expect you to be so famous here."
"Ahem, Seele, isn't it a bit... a bit..."
Luca, standing nearby, offered a somewhat anxious reminder.
"It's okay, it's okay, I quite like the way Seele talks."
Seele is that kind of person, and she doesn't really care about titles or anything like that. In fact, she thinks it's better for everyone to be more casual.
"See? I knew she wouldn't care that much. You, on the other hand, are always thinking about whether you'll say the wrong thing and offend someone as soon as you get on the spaceship. See, it's not that hard."
Upon hearing Bai Zhi's answer, Xi'er immediately smiled smugly.
"So, Seele, you're here to participate in the martial arts ceremony?"
"Of course, wouldn't it be great to have a good fight? Wait... Bronya told me something before she came? Hey, Luca, do you remember?"
"We want you to come to Xianzhou to promote Belloberg, bring new popularity to our planet, and incidentally let you learn more about other cultures."
Luca covered his face helplessly, "As for fighting, I feel it won't be easy. The Cloud Cavalry that helped us in Belloborg are all very strong. There must be even stronger ones in this kind of competition."
"Hey hey hey, look at you, what are you afraid of? Just fight it out. There's always a winner and a loser in a match. If you lose, just go back to practice and fight it out again."
Seele is carefree and doesn't care about those details at all.
But just as she finished speaking, her stomach suddenly growled.
"Goo~"
This made the usually carefree Seele blush, which was a rare occurrence for her.
Bai Zhi was slightly taken aback. "Have you guys not eaten?"
She just checked and it seems like it's past lunchtime.
"I really haven't eaten. Um, could you lend me some money?"
Suddenly, Seele extended her hand to Bai Zhi, "Your Excellency, I am a civil servant under your command. Please give me some salary."
"Wait a minute? Bronya sent you here, didn't she give you any funding?"
Bai Zhi was puzzled; it was impossible that Bronya had misappropriated all the money.
That doesn't justify mistreating your own secretary, does it?
If she gets thin from hunger, Bronya would be heartbroken.
"Lady Baizhi, we have money. Lady Bronya approved some funds for us before we set off... but the prices on this celestial vessel are just too high..."
Luca gave a wry smile. "We only ordered a few dishes on our first day here, and we've already spent all our money."
"Oh, I got it!"
Bai Zhi suddenly realized that Bronya had probably allocated the funds to the group based on Berloberg's spending habits.
However, compared to the underdeveloped Belberg, the prices in Xianzhou are comparable to the consumption levels of a first-tier city and a self-sufficient small village.
The two are not on the same level at all.
The price of any dish on that table would likely be considered fraud and land someone in jail in Belleburg for its outrageously high prices.
"I'll give you... um... 200 million credits first."
Bai Zhi thought for a moment and gave a reasonable amount of money, not too high, not too low, enough for the group to eat and drink well here.
"Two million? Isn't that too much? You could give us less. We just need to eat our fill and go home."
Luca said sincerely that before coming here, Bronya had told him that if he really encountered trouble, he could seek help from Bai Zhi, the honorary head of state.
But Bai Zhi's offer of 200 million credits still surprised him greatly.
In Belleburg, this is by no means a small amount.
Because Belloberg is now connected to the outside world, credits have become even more valuable than before. Most Belloberg residents could never earn that much money in their entire lives.
Although Bai Zhi is an honorary head of state, it's still a bit inappropriate to spend her money like this.
"It's alright, it's just a small amount of money. Besides, as the deputy general here, I can't possibly let guests who have come from afar go hungry."
"Oh, right, Seele, come on, let's take a picture together~"
Bai Zhi squeezed next to Xi'er, then took out her phone and took a selfie.
Seele: ?
After taking the photos, Bai Zhi immediately sent them to Yin Lang, adding the following sentence:
"Silver Wolf, I recently met a lovely girl. Let me show you."
"Huh? I've seen the profile picture of the person you sent the message to before."
Seele suddenly spoke.
Angelica dahurica: ?
"Wait, you know Silver Wolf?"
"Yes, I know her. After Bellberg connected with the outside world, I inexplicably added this person named Silver Wolf. She often likes my posts on her social media."
Chapter 679 Silver Wolf, you didn't want this either...
Upon hearing Xi'er's words, Bai Zhi's expression turned strange.
You little silver wolf, secretly watching Seele without saying a word, huh? Are you plotting something, waiting to steal Bronya's girl away?
"So, Seele, what's your impression of this silver wolf?"
"Impression? It's alright. Her profile picture is very pretty, just like Bronya when she was a child. I like it."
Seele said, somewhat puzzled.
She didn't understand why Bai Zhi cared so much about this guy called Silver Wolf.
Could it be someone important?
Bai Zhi immediately received a reply from Yin Lang:
What are you trying to do? I'm telling you, don't lay a hand on Seele.
Hey, this silver wolf really does have some ulterior motives towards Seele.
And what do you mean by "don't mess with Seele"? Do you look like the kind of person who falls in love with every girl he meets?
That can't be right!
Bai Zhi nodded confidently, as she was very devoted to one person.
Silver Wolf, you don't want Seele to know you have improper thoughts about her, do you?
Bai Zhi stood up and replied, avoiding Xi'er's gaze.
Silver Wolf: [Don't talk nonsense. Do you think I'm the kind of person who would have inappropriate thoughts about people? My mind is only on games. Women would only slow down my typing speed!]
Bai Zhi: [Xi'er was just asking me why I have you as a friend on my phone. Looks like I need to explain to her what a Star Core Hunter is and what a cosmic-level wanted criminal is.]
Bai Zhi: [Oh dear, a wanted criminal in the universe! Nobody wants to associate with someone so dangerous, right?]
Although Bai Zhi had hit her like that, she felt that if she really told Xi'er that Silver Wolf was a wanted criminal in the universe, Xi'er might not only not be afraid or avoid it, but might even say, "So cool, I like it."
Silver Wolf: [?!]
Silver Wolf was shocked when he saw the message Bai Zhi sent. This person was so despicable.
Angelica dahurica: [Speak, speak]
Silver Wolf: [I was being presumptuous just now. Actually, I think you, Little White Angel, are a very lovely person. As for being a wanted criminal in the universe, don't tell Seele about that.]
Bai Zhi: [If I don't tell you whether you say it or not, wouldn't I lose face?]
Silver Wolf: [How about we exchange some inside information?]
Bai Zhi: [What intelligence?]
Silver Wolf: [Actually, we Star Core Hunters will be visiting you soon. Kafka heard that you are a very good healer, so she hopes to treat Blade's condition.]
Bai Zhi: [That's it?]
Silver Wolf: [What else do you want?]
Bai Zhi: [Your crush, Xi'er, is struggling to afford food even after arriving at Xianzhou, didn't you know? Belloberg is so poor, he can't afford her travel and food expenses.]
As soon as she sent it, Bai Zhi saw a notification pushed to her from the Wallet app.
The message above shows that an unknown account sent her 1000 million credits.
Silver Wolf: [Take good care of her. I'll give her more if she needs more.]
Bai Zhi paused for a moment, staring at the ten million credits deposited into her account, and fell into deep thought.
He gave away two million credits and now he got ten million back from Silver Wolf. Isn't this a bit too profitable?
But how did Silver Wolf know Seele?
Two people who are clearly destined to never meet should not, right?
Or did Silver Wolf go with them when they were in Belleburg?
After thinking about it, Bai Zhi still couldn't figure it out.
Fortunately, this issue wasn't important. Although she liked Seele, it wasn't the kind of liking she had.
“Xier, you can spend the money as you like. If it’s not enough, I have more here. Enjoy the scenery of my hometown.”
"Ah good……"
Seele nodded blankly, then felt her phone vibrate. She took it out and saw that it was from Silver Wolf, who always liked her posts but had never chatted with her.
There's something strange about the other person's tone; it feels like they're particularly concerned about her.
"I'll go talk to the neighbors first. You can do whatever you want."
After greeting Bai Zhi and the others from Belloberg, she ran next door.
As soon as she entered, Bai Zhi saw the people who were sitting immediately stand up.
"Hello, Miss Baizhi."
"From the Earth United Government, right?"
"It is our good fortune that you remember us."
The leading old man respectfully said, "I am the person in charge of the Earth United Government's participation in this martial arts ceremony. You may call me Wu Bei."
"Is your home planet Earth now stable?"
Bai Zhi sat down casually and asked curiously.
"Thanks to you, if it weren't for your help back then, we might have been wiped out. As for now... to be honest, the situation is quite delicate."
Wu Bei gave a wry smile. "With the help of the Interstellar Peace Corporation, we installed a huge warp drive on the entire planet and then warped to a star system with a perfect environment."
