Chapter 309: Temporary Ceasefire

(Chapter dedicated to Chibi_Wolf38 for the Car.)

The sight of the big ice ship sailing in the sky brought a huge wave of shock to the Halfling community, especially when the sailors of this ship were all nymphs!

When both species that a bad history meets face to face, it is bound to have the smell gunpowder in the air. More so, after the nymphs converted to violent-loving pirates and who use fist first before talking.

All the nymphs on board aimed for the guard halflings and those halflings who were carrying any weapons but avoided those children halflings.

The tension was in the air and everyone finger was on the trigger or fuse.

"Drop your weapons!"

"No, you drop your weapons."

"No, it’s you who should drop!"

"No, it’s you!"

"No-"

"No-"

"Yoh chill-just chill, okay?" Li Chunhua quickly run to the middle and became a referee. "Let’s have a nice, long talk about harmony and peace first. I’ll sponsor the happy fat waters and ice, alright?"

"Alright? Lower your weapons first. We are civilized people..." Li Chunhua’s words held credibility to the halflings she saved. The guards and others lowered their muzzles of their weapons but didn’t put it away. Each one could felt the hostility emanated by the nymphs and they didn’t expect for this to be resolved so easily.

"Shillo, Shivani, Shana, could you?" Li Chunhua turned to the nymphs and carefully requested.

The nymphs’ faces still maintained ferocious looks, ready to tear apart the other side.

Shivani didn’t retrieve her water whip and only gave Li Chunhua a glance before glaring at the vermin, "Champion, they did awful thing to our clan members. I held no pity for these murderers nor would I spare a talk with them. This is war!"

The fighting spirit of the nymphs rose from Shivani’s statement which causes the halfings to raise their firearms again letting the whole thing back to square one.

"Hold it there." Li Chunhua hurriedly raised both of her hands. "Shivani, listen first. Just a short talk, okay?"

"No-" Shivani remained firm.

Suddenly, the Bluefin tuna who haven’t had its fill choose to be a surprise guest to an ongoing peace talk. Its massive mouth opened exposing those rows of razor sharp teeth and ready to bite on the halflings near the shore line.

[King Bluefin Tuna (Infancy Stage) Level 80 (HP: 82, 000/ 82, 000)]

It just leveled up after hunting.

"Good Guy! Another addition to my lunch later!" Li Chunhua’s eyes shone and dragged the tuna on the dry shore before doing a live-streaming of a sashimi session in just a matter of a few seconds scaring the live audiences.

The nymphs and the halflings including Ron’s group had their mouths gaping opened and stepped back until their backs reached the walls that had been reduced to rubbles.

The BlueFin Tuna couldn’t even make use of its teeth as it were plucked without an anesthesia and its delicious parts were harvested mercilessly and even the bones were not spared because Li Chunhua was planning to make them skewer sticks, saving the system from a material processing procedure.

[King Blue Fin Tuna Perfectly Marbled Meat X2400 pounds], [King Blue Fin Tuna Skin (1 square meter) X 250)], and [King Blue Fin Tuna Tooth X32 units].

Okay, the last one needs some deep cleaning but in times of scarcity, we must blocked our nose and endure.

On the second thought, they smell so bad and can compete with Clammy’s pre-bathe liberation scent but it was bearable than Little Mantou’s stench bombs.

Li Chunhua pinched her nose before waving her hand for 32th times casting a dispelling dirt spell to save her nose before storing the teeth inside.

But why the heck is the tuna’s meat 2400 pounds? The meat she got from the alligator boss was only 400-500 pounds and from the eel was only at 500?

Li Chunhua’s eyes suddenly widened after guessing a possible theory. "System, did you withhold a portion of the loot meat?"

[System Notification: Processing Fee]

Li Chunhua: "..." This villain! She bet that the fee would not be less that the decoration loan rate.

[You’ve got 56, 000 experience points.]

[You’ve got 12, 000 copper coins.]

[You’ve got...]

[You’ve got...]

The bangle saw the gears and salivated: Mine, Master, I worked hard during the battle. I ought to eat some rewards too.

Li Chunhua: Later when there’s no one around.

[Main Mission Progress: 2/3]

Only one more and Brother Siri can also have a seafood feast and she will sell a portion of it to the Salted Fishes. Those guys might be looking for something different too.

Suddenly, Li Chunhua remembered the current situation.

She hurriedly turned around and was confused to see the nymphs and halflings had put away their weapons and a civilized atmosphere circulated in the area. Both sides behaved like ladies in a tea party.

"Champion, I’ll hear you out this once." Shivani conceded, hiding the tremble in her fingers.

"If you don’t want to talk to them, then at least, hear Uncle Ron’s group." Li Chunhua was overjoyed and pointed towards Uncle Ron.

Upon being called, Ron looked at Thalassa beside him.

Thalassa and the other full-blooded nymphs lowly walked towards the ship and tugged their hoods off. "Greetings Sisters."

The halflings were shocked at Ron’s actions and wanted to say a few things but the nymphs gave them a warning gestures of slitting their necks which made them shut up.

Shivani and the other nymphs were thrilled at the sight of Thalassa and the others and tossed the scaling ladder down. "Come up."

Ron also said to put down the hoods on the other half-bloods which brought the biggest shock to both sides.

The halflings instantly back away.

The half-bloods sensed numerous stares on their and burrowed their heads on their guardians.

"Sister, is that even possible?" Shillo saw the little nymps who were also staring at them warily.

The nymphs on ship were in disbelief and all looked at Shivani who was wisest among them for an answer.

"I-I do not know but since it has happen, I’ll also accept them." Shivani was also stunned but she could feel a unique bond between them.

Ron and the other guardians were very glad and placed their kids down and urged them to follow those sister nymphs and board the ship.

But the half-blood didn’t want to go unless the guardians came with them. "Grandpa, I won’t. I’ll follow you."

"Don’t. I don’t want to go."

The kid hold onto their guardians.

Ron and the other had to escort them to the ships personally for their own good.

"Stand back. I don’t welcome any halflings on board. The only ones that can climb up are the nymphs and those half-blood nymphs and no one else." Shivani crossed her arms over her chest wearing a fierce look.

Ron and Rita looked stopped but the cries of the kid got louder and louder.

"Aqua, quickly follow them, okay?" Ron gave Aqua to Thalassa and said to take care of her.

"No, I want grandpa. I want grandpa." Aqua won’t let go of Ron’s vest and held on tightly.

Thalassa gave Shivani a look and noticed the hesitation on the priestess’ pair of eyes.

"Shivani." Li Chunhua called out and became a guarantor, telling the nymph of Ron and his mates’ good deeds, the tragic love story, and how these guys saved her.

With it, Shivani’s expression softened and let the group up. "Fine."

Ron and Rita and the others smiled and carried their kids while climbing the ladder, silently thanking Li Chunhua.

Thalassa also followed and met with present priestess.

Upon close distance, Shivani could feel the slight difference of Thalassa from the nymphs but she couldn’t put a finger to what exactly it is.

----

Long Haoran’s and the trio’s battle had extended to the neighboring island where Dranax’s mine is located, half a mile away from the Halfling’s main city. Without a single innocent Halfling and only golems around, the Karmic Dragon was no longer reserved and engaged with the golems releasing karmic fire breath turning the island into a melting pot.

Long Haoran coordinated. Though the damage of his fire fell behind the Karmic Dragon, his attack was more concentrated and aimed at the golems’ core located at the head.
