Chapter 424: Chapter 424: The Three No-Accepts
"Who’s checking in?"
"Seriously, got nothing better to do?"
As soon as the call connected, Grandma Chu heard Chu Jiaojiao’s voice full of disdain. Far from being annoyed, Grandma Chu proudly threw glances around her and said, "See... just ntioned the little one’s coming to check in, and here she is."
Chu Jiaojiao frowned, "I said I’m not checking in."
Grandma Chu lovingly replied, "Alright, alright... Jiaojiao my darling said no, so it’s a no."
Chu Jiaojiao: "..."
Unable to hold back, Chu Jiaojiao cursed, "Just wanted to make sure you weren’t cold, I’m very disappointed, hanging up now."
With that, she imdiately cut off the communication.
Grandma Chu looked at the reporters around, chuckled heh-heh, and said, "Ah! My granddaughter is angry again, such a worry! What do you think would cheer her up? Should I give her a starship with big guns or is a chanical warship stronger?"
A few reporters murmured softly, "As expected of Commander Chu, lavish with kids, it’s either a starship or cha..."
Nevertheless, Chu Jiaojiao’s call gave Grandma Chu a good excuse to get out of the situation. After hearing Grandma Chu’s explanation, out of respect, love, and admiration for the hero, the reporters didn’t keep pestering her for interviews and quickly departed.
anwhile—
Chu Jiaojiao ended the call, her face darker than ever, cursing, "Clueless old hag! When will you ever let
have so peace?"
Sheng Qingyan, standing beside her, covered her mouth and snickered, "Jiaojiao, you just care too much. Look at
with Elder Sheng; we keep our distance, content to avoid each other. I never think of calling Elder Sheng voluntarily... If Elder Sheng didn’t always make trouble for , I’d be living the easy life—every al delicious and full of energy for everything..."
Chu Jiaojiao ignored Sheng Qingyan’s rambling nonsenses. She scrutinized the recent videos of her grandma and finally pieced together a bit of the cause and effect.
Turns out, her grandma’s sudden loss of contact with her old comrades wasn’t because they disappeared but took the opportunity to secretly converge on the borderlands where mbers of the Moon Fox Alliance, the Galaxy Empire, and the Blue Light United States co together, plotting to sneak in. What would these interstellar pirates lurking in the shadows intend to do? Why, but to murder and loot, of course.
They are interstellar pirates, a band of desperados, at ho anywhere in the cosmos, no distinction between nation or family, no sense of belonging to a state and its people; they rob anyone they see, taking as much as they can, killing as many as they can... Of course, to them, anyone outside their organization is an enemy. So, in the borderlands of these three countries, these desperados committed countless atrocities, indifferent whether their victims were from the Alliance, the Empire, or the citizens of the Blue Light United States...
It can be said that people of all three countries despise these pirates to the bone.
A royal succession is imminent in the Galaxy Empire—will the throne go to the deposed Crown Prince Ji, or will it fall to Prince Qi, originally the second in line for the throne?
A crown stirs the hearts of the people across the Eight Star Systems, as well as all the interstellar pirates. Of course, the pirates have no interest in whose head the crown falls on; they’re focused on the opportunities provided by the internal conflicts spurred by the Empire’s royal succession for them to fish in troubled waters!
These blood-thirsty pirates, eager for action, especially the Moon Fox Alliance, with its leader ’Gu Yue’ personally leading his n, are lying in ambush at the borders, planning to hit it big.
Little did they expect that while the mantis catches the cricket, the sparrow waits behind; Lady Chu Zhan, the forr commander of the First Legion of the Alliance, got wind of their movents and launched a surprise counterattack!
...
Chu Jiaojiao read the limited press releases, guessed roughly what was happening, and her face darkened, "Reckless! At this old age, all bones brittle, and still daring to court death? Tch!"
Sheng Qingyan whispered, "But, I hear your grandma’s hair still looks thick and glossy, doesn’t seem like soone who has osteoporosis at all."
Chu Jiaojiao scoffed, "What’s osteoporosis got to do with hair? Besides, when did that old woman have black hair? It’s all dyed black!"
Sheng Qingyan covered her mouth, saying, "Oh? Grandma Chu actually dyes her hair? I’ve been fooled before..."
Chu Jiaojiao said, "If there’s nothing else, I’ll be going now."
Sheng Qingyan said, "Oh... I’m going to check out the Master’s shop by myself..."
However—
To Sheng Qingyan’s regret, the Green Glaze Master’s shop seed as bustling as ever, but it was empty inside. Every speck of dust had been wiped clean by the visiting custors with their hands.
Stomping her foot, Sheng Qingyan sighed, "No announcent again. When exactly will Green Glaze Master release new products?"
...
What Sheng Qingyan didn’t know was that Green Glaze Master, whom he talked about constantly and longed for, was currently frowning, looking troubled, and staring at his challenge request page with a deeply furrowed brow, full of anxiety.
Hero King.
King’s Expedition.
Dominate the Universe.
...
And even a Little Shengsheng!
For so reason, after a few days, Little Shengsheng wanted to challenge Ji You again. In case Ji You refused, she even added a few words to her challenge declaration: [New cha, test?]
Huh?
Does it an she wants him to take the new chanical Blade for a spin against her?
Ji You had personally experienced Little Shengsheng’s strength and while he was confident, he was not conceited, so Ji You could not say that after changing his cha, he could definitely beat Little Shengsheng.
Accept?
Reject?
Ji You was conflicted.
Just at that mont, Hero King sent a ssage: [Rag Queen, this is the ninth ti I am challenging you. If you admit defeat, I can withdraw my request.]
Ha!
Such an arrogant tone!
Expecting him to admit defeat to boost soone else’s reputation?
Dream on!
Without a second word, Ji You clicked to refuse and added a comnt: [Listen up!!! Rag Queen has three ’NOs’ in life: First, I don’t accept fights with the petty. Second, I don’t accept fights with the weak. Third, I don’t accept fights with those who have already lost to . And you, you check all three boxes, a veritable poison to !]
Hero King saw the ssage and his face darkened imdiately: "This Rag Queen is outrageously arrogant! Does she really think by refusing several IDs to challenge her, she can actually make it to the finals?"
"Wishful thinking!" King’s Expedition chid in from the side.
After a mont of contemplation, Hero King said softly, "She has already rejected two challenges. If she rejects one more, she’ll be eliminated. If she’s really that stubborn, I’ll admire her for it, but she definitely won’t refuse a third challenge request. So, let’s keep sending her challenges."
