Chapter 285: The Self-Cultivation of the Sea King
Chapter 285: The Self-Cultivation of the Sea King
Just as I was about to say a few good words for the Shadow Courtyard, hoping to convince the Midgar Kingdom not to treat it as an enemy of Yecheng, I saw Alice's teeth-grinding expression and immediately chose to remain silent.
Yecheng felt he had tried his best, but alas, his teammates were simply too unreliable.
Sida's "Atomic Strike" was one thing, but Alpha had previously mocked the proud Princess Alice right in front of her, and now she held a deep grudge against the Shadow Courtyard. This was quite a normal reaction.
"Your Highness Alice, I believe that compared to the Shadow Courtyard, the Diabros Cult poses a greater threat.
They abduct young women and children for experiments, crossing all moral boundaries. This time, they even kidnapped Princess Alexia.
The Shadow Courtyard may be mysterious, but as far as we know, they haven't done anything too extreme beyond opposing the Diabros Cult."
As an unofficial member of the Shadow Courtyard, Yecheng naturally wanted to defend them, and Princess Alexia nodded in agreement with his words.
But who knows what Alpha had said to the First Princess to make Alice harbor such intense hatred towards the Shadow Courtyard, seemingly even more than the Diabros Cult, notorious for their evil deeds.
"Whether it's the Diabros Cult or the Shadow Courtyard, they are both unknown and pose a significant threat. Eliminating them from the kingdom is the right thing to do.
Don't worry about these matters; I've already arranged for two days of leave for you from the academy. Take this time to rest well."
After asking about the Diabros Cult and the Shadow Courtyard, Alice turned and left.
Due to the previous chaos, there were still many issues to address in the capital, and facing the threats of the Diabros Cult and the Shadow Courtyard, Alice felt she needed to devise some countermeasures quickly.
"Next time you have any information about the Diabros or the Shadow Courtyard, remember to inform me as well. Don't always think you can handle everything alone.
If you can do this, then I won't hold this incident against you."
After Alice left, Princess Alexia said these words to Yecheng and then followed after her.
In truth, she had more questions for Yecheng, but with the capital in disarray, she had to assist her sister, and Yecheng's current 'weakness' made it inappropriate to disturb him further.
After Alice and Princess Alexia left, Kreya arrived in the afternoon with Sida.
Sida looked at the 'weak' Yecheng lying on the bed and immediately put on a deadpan expression, inwardly wishing he had thought of such a brilliant idea to get injured on duty.
As for Kreya, upon seeing Yecheng's 'weak' state as he lay on the bed, she rushed over and began scolding him harshly.
"Yecheng, I've heard all about it. You, you actually hid this from me and went to do something so dangerous alone!
What does the Diabros Cult's plot against the capital and Princess Alexia have to do with you? Why did you rush over there? I heard that even the Demon Beast was too much for Her Highness Alice to handle, and you still dared to charge in.
Or do you have a thing for Princess Alexia, trying to be a hero and rescue the damsel in distress?"
Facing his childhood friend's scolding, Yecheng, drenched in verbal abuse, immediately turned to Sida with a pleading look for help.
However, the latter, upon noticing Ye Cheng's gaze, nonchalantly whistled and averted his eyes, looking out the window instead.
It was all because of Ye Cheng that Sida had been avoiding his sister for days after the incident at the academy's entrance.
Now, the tables had turned, and it was Ye Cheng's turn to face misfortune. Sida couldn't help but feel a sense of schadenfreude, and there was no way he would come to Ye Cheng's aid.
Even before coming here, Sida had been scolded by Kreya.
After ALEXIA's disappearance, both Ye Cheng and Sida were under surveillance. But Ye Cheng ended up fighting that Demon Beast, and Kreya believed that Sida, who was with Ye Cheng at the time, should have stopped him. She held Sida partially responsible.
"I didn't want to interfere with these matters, but ever since I found out that JENO GULIPI is a member of the Diabros Cult, and this Diabros Cult was the one that kidnapped you, Kreya... I just couldn't help but..."
Upon hearing Ye Cheng's words, both Sida and Kreya fell silent.
Kreya's silence was because she seemed to have thought of something. Despite her usually strong and proud personality, she blushed deeply like a young girl.
As for Sida's silence, he couldn't help but feel that Ye Cheng was too good at this! How could he have come up with such a perfect excuse? In his previous life, Sida had worked tirelessly to become a Shadow Power Seeker, training his body, cultivating his mind, and honing his skills, all to improve his combat power. Could Ye Cheng, that damn otaku, have been a master of romance games in his past life?
"So, you went on those adventures because of me, and not for Princess ALEXIA or Princess Alice?"
Even Sida, who was clueless about such matters, realized that the show was over when he saw Kreya, who was acting like a young girl, asking such a question.
Moreover, Sida had a premonition that he should leave early. Knowing Ye Cheng's vengeful nature, if he didn't leave now, he would be the next one in trouble.
"Although we previously destroyed the Diabros Cult's base that kidnapped you, the Diabros Cult itself still exists.
No one can guarantee that they won't target you again in the future. So, for your future's sake, eradicating the Diabros Cult is the most secure solution.
As for Princess Alice and Princess ALEXIA, let's not even mention Princess Alice. Princess ALEXIA is Sida's girlfriend. How could I possibly have any thoughts about her?
And this time, I ventured to rescue ALEXIA because of Sida's request. He is also one of the people who knows about these matters."
With his bright and sunny smile, sincere and handsome appearance, and Kreya's understanding of Ye Cheng since childhood, she instantly believed his words.
Sida, who had been planning to sneak away, had just opened the door when he suddenly felt a pair of delicate hands on his shoulders.
Kreya, exuding a dark and oppressive aura, now showed a gentle smile as she looked at Sida and said, "My cute little bean, is there something you need to explain to your gentle big brother?"
