The protagonists of the banquet are all those participating in the shelter.

Everyone drank until they were thoroughly drunk.

At the banquet, Zhou Leng and Mountain and River Origin finalized the details of the giant's tribute, which would be handed to his father by Mountain and River Origin. At that time, the Giant World would send someone to deliver the tribute to Rucheng.

After dinner, the group returned to the Dwarf Embassy.

Liang Baiyin did not insist on returning together, amiably bidding farewell to everyone.

At night, everyone prepared for the return journey the next day.

Zhou Leng, now too heavy to ride a Horned Horse, had to switch to a giant's Earth Lizard, which looked like an enlarged lizard, also known as a earth dragon in the Giant World.

The Earth Lizard was over ten meters long and could carry two or three giants.

As a Frost Giant Duke, Zhou Leng would henceforth travel between the Giant World, with the Giant Royal Court and the Dwarf Tribe both arranging for teams of giants to escort him to prevent any accidents.

After preparing for half the night, an uninvited guest arrived.

Zhou Leng did not expect Jax from the Eagle Alliance's Trup Family to want a meeting again.

The other party's identity was sensitive, and as an Apprentice Martial Guard, it was somewhat inconvenient.

However, seeing that he had always been courteous, he decided to let him in.

As soon as Jax entered, he clasped his fists in a Chinese manner and said, "Congratulations, Duke Zhou, for holding the title of duke for two races, a rarity in the human world, with Qi and blood unrivaled."

"State your purpose," Zhou Leng said.

Jax dared not express concern that Zhou Leng might disrupt or tear up an old contract and smilingly said, "Our Trup Family has a tradition. If an old friend achieves a promotion, we send some gifts. Your Dragon Country has similar customs, right?"

"Indeed, it does," Zhou Leng replied.

"Everyone has noticed that it was you who stimulated the power of the King of Armor. I benefited from you, and if I don't show gratitude, how can I call myself human?"

"Moreover, our Trup Family and your Dragon Country have been friendly for generations. Although my great-grandfather had some misunderstandings with Dragon Country, he indirectly helped determine its development direction and was hailed as a good friend of the people of Dragon Country."

Zhou Leng, hearing his sincere words, was momentarily unsure whether he was feigning ignorance or truly unable to understand the ridicule online.

Jax took out two beautifully packaged wooden boxes from a Magic Spirit Bag and placed them on the table.

"Our Trup Family has trade relations with both the Giants and the Dragons."

"The item below is a type of Dragon Blood Medicine unique to the Dragon Race, called 'Green Dragon's Fang,' which, after consumption, enhances the body's resistance to poison."

"With your strong physique, nearly any venom used by enemies one realm below you will be ineffective against you."

"For instance, you're currently in the Body Refinement realm, immune to poisons of the Blood Transporting Period."

"It also weakens stronger poisons. As for minor ailments and toxins in daily life, you'll be completely immune from now on."

"Though its effect seems minor, if you further cultivate some Detoxification Techniques, the effect will be doubled."

"Therefore, the Green Dragon's Fang can also be considered a Merit Treasure of Detoxification Skill."

"The box on top contains a type of 'Treasure Ore Medicine' unique to Giants, named 'Healing Flesh,' a peculiar medicine formed after soaking Treasure Ore in the Water of Life for ten years."

"Its efficacy lies in accelerating wound healing. You can inquire about the importance of this Treasure Ore Medicine."

Zhou Leng's expression remained unchanged. Jax, observing his demeanor, took out a large transparent box from the Magic Spirit Bag.

The box contained over twenty Star Conches of various colors.

"I noticed last time that you seemed to quite like High-Energy Shells. Our family bought some from the Giant World, just in time to gift them to someone who appreciates quality."

After speaking, Jax offered them with both hands.

Zhou Leng's gaze shifted slightly.

This Jax is quite nice, never visiting empty-handed.

There's an old saying in Dragon Country: one doesn't hit someone who brings gifts.

Seeing the change in Zhou Leng's expression, Jax instantly understood his maneuver was successful.

This Zhou Leng likes High-Energy Shells.

After returning to the Eagle Alliance, he could acquire some low-cost ones and use them as small gifts next time, having both face and without being too costly.

The Green Dragon's Fang is worth ten million, not expensive, but the Healing Flesh is worth thirty million.

If it weren't for the excellent results from the Giant's Shelter this time, he would never give such precious treasures.

Trup Family's money wasn't blown by the wind but squeezed bit by bit from the bottom of the Eagle Alliance.

Zhou Leng said, "Do you know about the Dragon Blood Marvelous Body?"

Jax paused, then said helplessly, "Our Trup Family must have information on the Dragon Blood Marvelous Body, but with my current authority, it's still unreachable."

"However, thanks to you attracting the power of the King of Armor, if nothing unexpected happens, my succession rank could rise again, at least becoming the eighth successor."

"When the time comes, as soon as I find information on the Dragon Blood Marvelous Body, I'll definitely share it with you."

"In the future, the Trup Family will be your eternal friend."

"Do you really have a chance to inherit the Trup Financial Clique?" Zhou Leng asked.

Jax replied, "Actually, besides the top three successors, others are merely symbolic of status, almost impossible to inherit."

"My best outcome is only to become the third successor, provided my strength surpasses all others."

"Of course, that excludes Mad Prince Aiden, as he advanced to the Innate realm long ago and is the first successor, incomparable to him."

Jax followed up with a compliment, "I've twice been promoted in succession thanks to you. You're truly my benefactor."

Zhou Leng inquired briefly about the situation of Shuangjiao Exploration Company in Rucheng.

Jax held nothing back, even admitting that part of Shuangjiao's people had dealings with the Demon Worship Sect, practically pouring his heart out.

After sending Jax away, Zhou Leng opened the first box.

Lifting the yellow silk, inside a wide-mouthed glass bottle was a piece of solid flesh. At first glance, it looked like hard pork belly, but upon closer inspection, it seemed to be slightly moving, like a living thing.

He checked the second box, which contained a bottle of green magic potion.

Finally, he looked at the Star Conch.

Zhou Leng examined it carefully and took it out to touch it.

These star conches from the Giant World were different from those of Earth and the Dwarf World.

The high-energy shells here felt stronger, with one being even ten times the normal strength.

Zhou Leng put away the treasures and stepped out of the room, looking up at the sky.

Stars far more dense and brilliant than those of Blue Star hung in the heavens.

Illuminating the sky as if it were day.

The brightest star in Blue Star's sky was Sirius.

In this night sky, there were thousands of stars brighter than Sirius.

Especially in the very center of the sky, appeared a peculiar ring of stars, formed by numerous stars far brighter than Sirius.

That was said to be the entrance to the Starry Sea of Legends of the Giant Race.

The dwelling place of the Starry Giants.

"In the future, if there's a chance, I'll establish a Star Conch company in the Giant World. If what the Golden Page says is true, these things have quite a high value even in high-level civilizations..."

Early the next morning, a team of twenty dwarf riders and a team of ten giant riders gathered outside the dwarf embassy.

Zhou Leng approached the two cavalry teams, and a pleasant voice called out: "Brother Zhou Leng, can my uncle and I return to Rucheng with you?"

Zhou Leng looked over and saw a twin-tailed girl showing a radiant smile, waving her fair arms while riding on a horned horse.

Wearing jeans and a white short-sleeved shirt with a black cartoon cat painted on it.

Sunlight shone on her.

Clearly at an innocent age, yet her bright eyes held a charm like a young white fox snickering.

Molten Hammer murmured softly: "She's really something..."

Standing beside Liang Baiyin was a middle-aged man, although dressed in simple camouflage, he carried an extraordinary air, akin to those Innate Masters.

Liang Baiyin's uncle sighed helplessly, walked towards Zhou Leng, handed over a business card, extended his hand with a smile, and said: "Are you Zhou Leng? Thank you for saving our family Baiyin. In fact, we've always wanted to find a way to thank you, but every time she reached out, you refused. I didn't expect to trouble you again this time. If it's inconvenient for you, I'll take her away right now. She's spoiled by my sister; we can't do anything about her."

Liang Baiyin, still on the horse, wasn't angry. She puffed out her chest proudly.

Mountain River Oak shrugged and said: "What excuse do you have to refuse now?"

Zhou Leng said helplessly: "You're her elder, you should be responsible for her safety. I still suggest you take her with the big caravan."

Liang Baiyin's uncle looked at the two cavalry teams and said: "Duke, you don't need to be modest."

Liang Baiyin loudly said: "Brother Zhou Leng, let's go, and then we'll learn martial arts from Elder Song together. I'll trick him into teaching you his best skills; he owes me many ice creams."

Liang Baiyin winked her left eye at Zhou Leng.

Others thought Liang Baiyin was being coquettish, but Zhou Leng knew she was hinting that he hadn't treated her to snacks, breaking his promise.

Zhou Leng said: "Since your uncle is here, let's travel together, but no acting willful on the road."

"Yes, honorable Duke, this little girl obeys!" Liang Baiyin placed her hands at her waist and made a curtsey, gracefully acknowledging.

The group added two people, heading toward the giant post in Shuizhou Demon City.

Initially, Liang Baiyin rode her horned horse, following beside Zhou Leng.

As they ran, she suddenly leaped from the horned horse onto the back of Zhou Leng's Earth Lizard.

She stood behind Zhou Leng on the saddle, her hands holding his shoulders, her twin ponytails fluttering in the wind, gazing at the vast sky and expansive earth with a spirited gleam.

Zhou Leng looked at Liang Baiyin's uncle helplessly, but he didn't even glance over here.

"Be careful." Zhou Leng wasn't very worried about her, knowing that although she seemed small and delicate, she had been continually taking pills since childhood and had ample educational resources. Once in Yunhua Jinjing, she had the potential to break into the first echelon.

"Don't worry, besides, with you here, I'm not afraid." Liang Baiyin looked around.

Even dusty yellow rock, blue sky, and white clouds seemed to enthuse her.

As the mount ran, there was no way to cultivate, so Zhou Leng watched the martial arts videos he had long stored, focusing on the ones about hard skills.

Though the human race's hard skills stemmed from the incomplete martial body and didn't have as thorough an understanding as the Golden Page, they excelled in details by being more suited to the human body.

The main cultivation direction for the coming months will be the Undying Star Body.

The importance of even significant events such as the Ten Realms Youth Battle would come later.

After playing for a bit, Liang Baiyin leaned closer to Zhou Leng, nearly resting her chin on his shoulder, watching the videos alongside him.

Liang Baiyin's subtle breath brushed past Zhou Leng's neck, like fine hair brushing across.

The girl's faint fragrance lingered.

Liang Baiyin remained silent, just watching along, never interrupting.
