Chapter 367: Chapter 125: Victory!
Ke Lian carefully looked at Du Xixi a few times, seeing Xixi’s little face flushed red, with a fine sheen of sweat hanging on her nose tip, clearly hot, but her spirits seemed fine. Ke Lian then took a step back, agreeing reluctantly: "If you feel unwell, make sure to tell me."
Du Xixi naturally nodded quickly, afraid that if she nodded too slowly, Ke Lian would again ask someone to bring her a cooling machine.
The morning of the first day of the Alliance Military Competition is usually for representatives of each empire’s Military Department to enter. So, Du Xixi and Ke Lian, sitting on the high platform, were also bored and simply opened the Light Computer to watch the live broadcast of the Military Department’s gate just a few hundred meters away.
And I must say, this was Du Xixi’s first time watching such a novel live broadcast. The location clearly wasn’t far, yet she was observing it through high-tech means, which was quite amusing.
"Is this the Majesty of the Zao Mu Empire?" Du Xixi looked at the figure appearing in the live broadcast and scrutinized him to make sure she wasn’t mistaken, "At the previous Interstellar Grand Ceremony, wasn’t he a bit... fuller?"
Du Xixi felt her wording wasn’t quite accurate. After all, during the Interstellar Grand Ceremony, the Majesty of the Zao Mu Empire was so fat that even a pig couldn’t compare. Who knows if it was due to his constitution or his good appetite, but eating just Nutrition Supplements and Stone Rice could make him so fat.
But the Majesty appearing now was undoubtedly a walking electric pole, so thin he seemed to be only skin and bones—maybe electric pole isn’t quite right, given the Majesty of the Zao Mu Empire wasn’t tall, more like half a pole.
Ke Lian smirked sarcastically. Though he knew there was no one nearby daring to eavesdrop, he still lowered his head and explained in a voice only the two of them could hear next to Du Xixi’s ear: "Because of your brother’s thunderous measures, there’s actually internal strife within Zao Mu Empire."
Du Xixi raised an eyebrow, looking surprised at the Majesty of the Zao Mu Empire and the group of representatives from the Military Department behind him, whose expressions varied. Despite their internal strife, they still had the energy to ally with the other three empires to trouble the Blue Star Empire?
Sure, the Blue Star Empire finds the Zao Mu Empire annoying, but the Blue Star Empire, which always upheld "harmony brings wealth," isn’t unaccepting of the Zao Mu Empire’s concession. Yet these Four Great Empires seem inherently hostile to the Blue Star Empire, insistently creating tension...
Du Xixi couldn’t help but sigh and shake her head. She didn’t pity the Zao Mu Empire after all. They brought this upon themselves, and now they’re just reaping the consequences.
It’s just a pity for those innocent civilians, who are unwitting victims in the imperial conflicts.
"Speaking of which, it’s rare for the Iron-eating Beast Empire to participate this time." Ke Lian suddenly remembered his wife’s distinct attitude towards the Iron-eating Beast Empire and said, and Du Xixi curiously furrowed her brow: "Why, didn’t the Iron-eating Beast Empire participate in previous Alliance Military Competitions?"
"You know, the Iron-eating Beast Empire’s previous situation wasn’t good, and few Alliance Military Competition hosts were willing to invite them." Ke Lian coughed, choosing his words carefully, "The Iron-eating Beasts were also anxious about being looked down upon, so they seldom socialized. If not for our Blue Star Empire this time, they probably wouldn’t have participated."
Du Xixi sighed incessantly after hearing this. Compared to pitying the Zao Mu Empire’s civilians, Du Xixi felt even sorrier for the Iron-eating Beast Empire. Clearly, the Iron-eating Beast Empire didn’t do anything wrong; they just had peculiar food and enormous appetites, causing widespread misunderstanding across the All-Star.
Thankfully, the Iron-eating Beast Empire’s situation has now greatly improved. With the Blue Star Empire’s help, surrounding empires have begun accepting and increasingly trading with the Iron-eating Beast Empire.
Following the Zao Mu Empire, several empires aligned with the Four Great Empires entered, who Du Xixi, having been quickly briefed, now knew were the culprits forcing her into the competition.
"My eyes are tired," Du Xixi said, watching the live broadcast, feeling the empires entering now were all ones she disliked, making her eyes hurt. "Call me when the Iron-eating Beast Empire appears."
Du Xixi averted her gaze, feeling that out of all empires, only the Iron-eating Beast Empire sparked her interest. As for the others? They were less interesting than the embroidery on her dress.
