Chapter 360: Chapter 122: Preparing for Battle! Alliance Military Competition_3
Miao Miao is now more at ease, her extensive reading experience allowing her to swiftly analyze all the pros and cons. She spoke softly: "If Miss participates in the Alliance Military Competition and causes our Blue Star Empire’s ranking to drop from first, it will undoubtedly be a major blow to the Empire. By then, Blue Star Empire’s comprehensive restraint over the Four Great Empires will also be hindered."
Everyone turned their gaze to Miao Miao, who adjusted herself under their expectant eyes and continued: "After all, the Four Great Empires have been strong for hundreds of years. Caught off guard by a series of policies from His Majesty Chen Yin, they are now experiencing restraints and damages everywhere. Once given a chance to breathe, they will gradually regain their power."
"Well said!" Ke Xing sharply smacked the sofa’s armrest, feeling Miao Miao’s words insightful. "Once the Four Great Empires recover, they naturally will have the capital to bribe other empires. The representatives leaning towards the Four Great Empires are likely just waiting for them to rise again."
Du Xixi blinked, multiple thoughts flashing through her mind, but ultimately only formed into a soft and helpless sigh: "How long until the Alliance Military Competition starts?"
"Half a month," Ke Lian lowered his head, somewhat worriedly looking at Du Xixi’s condition. "Your health isn’t good; it will probably be quite strenuous by then. But don’t worry too much—even if we lose the competition, our Blue Star Empire is still on your side."
It was other empires teaming up to deal with Blue Star Empire, and Du Xixi was merely a scapegoat pushed forward. Blue Star Empire wasn’t foolish; if they truly blamed Du Xixi for it, the whole interstellar community would just laugh at Blue Star Empire.
Moreover...
Ke Lian, regardless of how speechless Ke Xing and Miao Miao might be, tenderly planted a kiss on Du Xixi’s forehead: "Xixi, it was I who didn’t protect you well."
Because he failed to protect Du Xixi, he felt powerless when everyone targeted her, ending up only imposing his stance with a grim face, unable to step up for Du Xixi even when faced with the ugly faces of those empire representatives.
This is interstellar "fairness and justice."
"It’s tough sitting in the position you’re in, and I understand," Du Xixi didn’t think as heavily as Ke Lian, understandingly patting his arm and speaking softly, "Besides, if others look down on me, surely you don’t either? My Purification Talent wasn’t acquired for nothing; it keeps my body well."
While Du Xixi considered herself somewhat weak, this "weakness" was only in comparison to those soldiers who participated in the Alliance Military Competition. Compared to the Du Xixi who used to gasp every two steps, now she was as strong as an ox!
She could lift a large iron pot weighing dozens of pounds and skillfully handle a knife bigger than her head. In terms of destructive power, she might as well be considered a "great weapon"!
Du Xixi left Ke Lian’s embrace, stood up, patted the slight creases on her clothes, and raised her head high, turning in circles and saying: "What hardship haven’t I gone through when practicing cooking? It’s merely a civilian competition, and surely I won’t face military personnel from various Military Departments. With more effort, I definitely won’t disgrace our Blue Star Empire!"
Du Xixi had confidence in her perseverance. Her Knife Skills were honed over countless days of gritted teeth practice. It would just mean focusing on physical training for the upcoming half month, and Du Xixi refused to believe she would lose!
Du Xixi bowed her head, meeting Ke Lian’s somewhat dazed gaze, smiling carelessly: "But for the next period, I’m afraid I’ll have to stand up the Food Department."
Though the order of events matters greatly, everything has its priorities, and the Alliance Military Competition is set to take place in half a month, lasting around ten days. As a result, activities in the Food Department will be delayed for over half a month.
Du Xixi knew the Alliance Military Competition was more important, but she felt somewhat apologetic, so after the family meeting ended, she first sent Lin You a message explaining the situation, then apologized individually to He Yuan and others.
Lin You and the others understood since the Alliance Military Competition was also a major affair for Blue Star Empire, regarding its military standing in All-Star, Du Xixi’s greater emphasis was expected. Moreover, Du Xixi was innocently implicated, so they naturally couldn’t find ground to oppose her.
Seeing this, Du Xixi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and went to bed early, preparing to start working on physical training anew beginning the next day!
Du Xixi: Devil training, lasting fifteen days, starts!
