Against Heaven's Will

"So you are the one who will represent the Dwarf Kingdom from now on?" Wu questioned as she approached the leading Dwarf. Although he looked young, he was still the tallest from the group while already carrying a crown on his head. 

"Yes. I'm the King's first son and I will take over his duties from today onward," the leading Dwarf nodded respectfully as he glanced at Xuefeng. "We already interrogated the witnesses and found out about my Father's wrongdoings. Don't worry, we will not blame Sir for killing him."

"I don't see any hatred in your eyes. It seems you didn't like your father that much," Xuefeng commented. He had to make sure she was safe so he naturally followed her. 

"That's true. I actually want to thank Sir for killing him. It is not because I can easily take over the Kingdom now but because he wasn't really a model father. With the way he treated my mom and all his lovers, I am content with this outcome," the leading Dwarf explained casually. "We can move to the negotiations Sir was talking about. The Dwarf Kingdom would like to cooperate with Trade Union." 

Wu smiled brightly. 

"Perfect. I have a proposal for you then," Wu began, going straight to the topic. "I want to include the Dwarf Kingdom into our supply chain. Not only that, we will provide you materials you can't find in the Metal Land and help you sell your Artefacts all around the world. This will boost your profits and improve Dwarf Kingdom status in the Heaven Realm." 

The Leading Dwarf raised his eyebrows in surprise. 

"This deal sounds really amazing to us. What does Trade Union get from it for Miss to offer such great terms?" 

"We will naturally share the profits, but that's not all," Wu replied calmly. "We planned to expand into Metal Land for a while already, so this cooperation will help us achieve that. We want to take advantage of Dwarf Kingdom knowledge and experience to expand while providing equal benefits." 

"Sure, I would love to know more details," the Leading Dwarf nodded excitedly. "I always wanted to cooperate with humans but my father was never fond of that idea." 

'If only the previous King of Dwarfs was like this. None of this would happen,' Xuefeng muttered but then glanced at Wu by his side and changed his mind. 'Well, at least I got to meet her earlier. Everything worked well in the end.' 

"Alright. My grandpa, President Wu of the Trade Union, will arrive here by tomorrow morning. He will coordinate this trade with you," Wu explained as she grabbed Xuefeng's hand. "For now, you should handle your own matters. I'm sure there is a big mess in your Kingdom that requires your attention."

"That's true…" the Leading Dwarf admitted helplessly. "We will contact President Wu tomorrow then. Farewell." 

They only turned their backs to them when Xuefeng pulled Wu into his arms and flew up, returning back to the Flying Ship. 

"You were amazing," Xuefeng praised as he kissed her head. "You handled it well." 

"Thanks, but it's nothing," Wu acknowledged humbly. "You are the one who killed the King of Dwarfs and minimized their deaths. If you didn't convince Dwarfs to turn against their King, more would die for sure." 

"Heh, let's just say we both did a good job," Xuefeng admitted, landing on the Flying Ship's board. Although it wasn't empty, they were met with an awkward silence. 

"Welcome back~" Bella greeted, showing a smile as she stared at Xuefeng cheerfully. "How did it go?" 

When Drakos saw that change, he immediately rolled his eyes. 

"Bella, how many times do I have to say that I'm sorry? I admitted it was my fault already, what else can I do?" Drakos complained pitifully. 

Too bad, Bella didn't even acknowledge his existence anymore. 

"Xuefeng, I don't why, but I keep hearing this annoying buzzing around me. Can you help me stop it somehow? I tried to tolerate it but I don't want to hear it anymore." 

"Yikes…" Xuefeng cringed, not expecting Drakos would still struggle with this issue. If it was him, he would have solved it in a blink. 

Wu seemed to think the same as she proposed on the spot, "Xuefeng, how about you talk with Drakos on the side while I stay with Bella?" 

"Sure," Xuefeng nodded and flew away while giving Drakos a glance. "Follow me." 

Drakos hesitated but still followed him, stopping some far away from the Flying Ship. 

"You are really an idiot, aren't you?" Xuefeng scolded speechlessly. "How did you make her hate you this much? Weren't you both on a good path?"

"Ugh! Just tell me what do I do," Drakos grunted, rubbing his eyes in frustration. "I'm not like you who has been flirting and taking over women all your life. I have been alone since forever, always fighting for survival. How do I know what to do?"

"Okay, okay, chill for now," Xuefeng calmed him down. "Come closer, I will tell you a secret to courting women." 

Drakos raised his eyebrows, leaning over. 

"It doesn't matter what you say, it's all about what you do," Xuefeng said with a smile. "Right now, no matter what you say, Bella won't give a damn. You hurt her so now you got to suffer. Give her some time to calm down and then show her you actually care about her. She will ignore you for a while but eventually notice the effort you put in." 

"What if she doesn't?" Drakos asked like a newbie. 

"If she still ignores you then stop everything all together. She would already get used to you and once you are gone, she will think something is missing. Once she realizes it's you, she will chase you instead," Xuefeng explained as he scratched his head. "It's kind of toxic and I would never use it myself, but I don't think you have any other choice." 

"Hmm… Alright. I will give her some time then," Drakos decided after a short thought. 

Xuefeng only patted him on the shoulder and returned back to the girls. To his surprise, they were talking about him. He was sure Wu would be helping with the issue involving Drakos. 

"Xuefeng is still the same as back in Earth Realm. If only you saw how he handled the Ruler of the Realm and turned the whole public in the Capital against him," Wu muttered with her back facing him. 

"Yeah, I wish I met him much earlier…" Bella replied with a sigh as she gazed at Xuefeng dreamily. "Welcome back Xuefeng~" 

Before Wu could turn around, he already hugged her from behind. He was about to question them when he sensed movement from the side, seeing two beauties return. 

He only returned the smile from Bella, not really thinking too much about it. 

"Everything alright?" Xuefeng called out to Golden Queen as they landed. 

"Yeah, we had a little chat," Golden Queen nodded casually as she observed Xuefeng for a few seconds before shooting a question. 

"I need to call my Husband. Do you mind joining?"
