Chapter 204 Are you going to go against me?

Zhao Fuli was actually very clear about the character of these pirates; they never valued life, including their own.

Before the war broke out, Zhao Fuli could still tell himself something when he saw these pirates killing and looting.

Those people deserved to be killed; the Demon Dragon Pirates did only righteous things.

However, when the war broke out, when faced with the two tasks of protection and destruction, Shangjia did not hesitate to choose the destruction task.

Zhao Fuli really couldn't take it anymore; she was fed up with her current life.

She couldn't accept that she had become the catalyst for a new war, and she also loathed being a pirate. All ordinary people felt instinctive fear and dread when they saw her.

Many people may think that pirates are powerful, mysterious, brave, and fearless... a symbol of freedom.

But Zhao Fuli felt that all the pirates were a bunch of utterly rotten scum!

They are all rotten people!

Even if you add more, it's the same!

How can such freedom be considered true freedom?

They plundered and slaughtered civilians, trafficked people, and trampled on lives in this way.

Zhao Fuli often had dreams filled with blood and corpses.

Sometimes she would dream of her mother and grandmother. In the dream, they did not blame her, but gently held her and let her do everything according to her own wishes.

Whatever choice you make, Mom and Grandma will support you.

Before serving the poisoned dishes to Shangjia, Zhao Fuli hesitated and felt fear. Even now, she still feels fear when facing Shangjia.

But she will never regret it!

She was prepared to be killed by Shangjia, and even in death, she would never help Shangjia launch a new war!

"This young chef has quite a bit of spirit, just a bit stupid."

Many pirates have returned to their ships, avoiding the conflict.

They couldn't withstand the added attack of the enraged attacker; avoidance was the best option.

Some excitement is worth watching, but some excitement can be deadly.

At the Yuzhi Island pier, besides the members of the Demon Dragon Pirate Gang, there were only Chen Qingyou, Gu Langui, and Haibo Qiluo.

If Chen Qing's machines are considered people, then there are actually quite a lot of people.

Zhao Fuli's outburst stunned the members of the Demon Dragon Pirate Gang; they had never known that Zhao Fuli harbored such deep resentment towards them.

"Lili, this kind of thing is actually—"

Xuepo glanced at Shangjia's expression before daring to continue persuading Zhao Fuli.

"It's actually quite ordinary, isn't it?"

"That's true for you, but not for me!"

"I hate blood, I hate death, and I hate war even more!! From beginning to end, we have never been the same kind of people!"

Zhao Fuli looked at the members of the Demon Dragon Pirate Gang with utter disgust.

Perhaps many people like the life of pirates, perhaps many people like this world without order or law, but she cannot get used to such a society.

"What was your original world like?"

Haibo Qiluo asked, suddenly becoming curious.

They knew something about the origins of the sea wanderers; they were outsiders from the mysterious zone who had lost their homes, and no one knew where the mysterious zone led.

What kind of world could produce someone as naive as Zhao Fuli?

"We live in a place without war, with law and order, where there is no random robbery or murder."

"Everyone can have enough to eat and can go to school."

Chen Qing thought for a moment and briefly described the situation.

In fact, the differences between any two worlds are not that great.

However, the country they live in is more peaceful and stable.

"No war?"

Haibo Qiluo couldn't imagine what the world Chen Qing described was like, where everyone could have enough to eat and go to school.

It seems to be doing quite well, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to raise someone like Zhao Fuli.

Many sea wanderers seemed to share Zhao Fuli's sentiments, and a smile appeared on Haibo Qiluo's face.

She still remembers the first seafarer she met who dared to stand up and accuse her of murder.

How foolish.

Just as stupid as those idiots in the Thorns Society.

"It's just the place we live in; that world still has war, poverty, and hunger."

Chen Qing said calmly.

"oh--"

Blue Ghost drawled out his words. He understood. Chen Qing and the others also belonged to the upper class in that world.

No wonder I miss it so much.

What Zhao Fuli misses is not actually that world. No world is perfect; each has its advantages and disadvantages.

What she loved was peace.

"Since that's the case, then you might as well die."

The black beast behind Shangjia took a step forward and raised its claws high. Zhao Fuli closed his eyes and awaited death.

Xuepo tried to step forward to stop them, but was held back by her companions.

If Shangjia wanted to kill Lili, how could he have made her say so much?

Let's wait and see; the captain won't actually do anything.

As long as Lili is willing to say a kind word, she definitely won't die.

Why didn't Lili tell them these things sooner? They wouldn't have forced her to do things she didn't want to do.

He has always been very generous to his companions.

Her eyelids trembled slightly, revealing her turbulent inner state. However, Zhao Fuli would rather die than submit to her superiors.

Just as the black beast's claws were about to strike, Xuepo was about to step forward to stop it, but a figure was faster than her.

The enforcers easily blocked the black beast's attack and quickly led Zhao Fuli away from the encirclement of the Demon Dragon Pirates, returning to Chen Qing's side.

Chen Qing shielded Zhao Fuli, protecting her behind him.

"Chen Qing, are you going to go against me?"

He looked at Chen Qing with displeasure and questioned him.

"If that's what you think, then that's how it is."

Chen Qing answered calmly.

"You've got guts."

As Haibo Qiluo said this, she and Lan Gui moved away from Chen Qing.

They're just watching the show; they don't get involved in these disputes.

Yougu stood beside Chen Qing, choosing not to leave.

Chen Qingcai had done her a great favor, and at this time, she would not choose to stand idly by.

The Demon Dragon Pirates are strong, but the Ghost Bone Pirates are no pushovers either; the Ghost Bone Pirates are not afraid of the latter.

The other members of the Ghost Bone Pirate Gang chose to stand behind Chen Qing and offer her their support.

However, she was quite curious as to why Chen Qing would choose to help Zhao Fuli.

If I had to give a reason, it would be that Chen Qing wanted to do it this way.

She wanted to do it, so she did it; she didn't need any other reason.

"Chen Qing, it's okay, you don't need to worry about me."

Zhao Fuli looked at Chen Qing with emotion, but still calmly offered his advice.

Waaaaah, from today until she dies, Chen Qing will be her best friend!

Not everyone dares to stand up to Shangjia.

"You two seem to have a good relationship."

He sneered and glared at Zhao Fuli, who was moved to tears.

"fine."

Chen Qing replied.

Judging from Shangjia's attitude, she didn't actually want to kill Zhao Fuli that much.

Even if she doesn't intervene, the other members of the Demon Dragon will most likely persuade her to back down, and the matter will eventually be dropped.

Zhao Fuli seems to have underestimated her status in the Demon Dragon Pirates.

If it were Chen Qing or Hai Bo Qi Luo who had done what she did, they would have snapped her neck the moment they found out.

Shangjia was even willing to listen to her ramblings.

“Shangjia, whatever it is, we can sit down and talk it over. What’s more important now is how to deal with that guy. After all, she’s the culprit.”

Yougu stepped forward to mediate, having discerned the situation, and offered both sides a way out.

Shang Jia glanced at Zhao Fuli behind Chen Qing, snorted coldly, and took it as an agreement.

We'll settle the score with her later!

This matter is temporarily over, but the relationship between Zhao Fuli and the Demon Dragon Pirates is now strained.

Between her and Shangjia, one of them has to back down first for this matter to be truly over.

But judging from their appearances, they were both stubborn and neither thought they were wrong; bowing their heads was out of the question.

Logically speaking, the problem lies with the other side, but this world is not about reason; strength is the only truth.

"Waaaaah—I was so scared! I thought I was really going to die."

Zhao Fuli gripped Chen Qing's exoskeleton, and tears streamed down her face.

It would be a lie to say she's not afraid of death; she's a total coward.

"If you're afraid of dying, why are you joining in and opposing us?"

Yougu tapped Zhao Fuli on the forehead and chuckled.

She's so timid; I don't know how she dared to yell at Shangjia just now.

There are always things more important than life.

Zhao Fuli covered his head and smiled sheepishly.

"Don't worry, just have a good talk with Shangjia, she won't blame you."

Yougu has been dealing with Shangjia for many years and knows her temperament well.

"Yougu, you talk too much."

Shang Jia glanced at You Gu with displeasure. What kind of despicable person was she? She hadn't even apologized and yet she wanted You Gu's forgiveness.

You're kidding, Zhao Fuli poisoned her!

Yougu shrugged, comforted Zhao Fuli for a couple of minutes, and then went with Haibo Qiluo to Shangjia's side to discuss the handling of Pella Sakaki again.

Chen Qing originally wanted to go back to the ship, but seeing Zhao Fuli's appearance, Chen Qing thought for a moment and brought her into the Bounty Guild.

Grandma Yuhua heard the whole story of what happened outside. When Chen Qing brought Zhao Fuli in, she immediately gave her own recliner to Zhao Fuli and even cooked a bowl of sweet soup for him herself.

Zhao Fuli was flattered. Her mother-in-law had been treating her so badly before, how could her attitude change so quickly?

Chen Qing knew why; like Zhao Fuli, Granny Yuhua did not want a new war to break out.

If Zhao Fuli accepts the destruction mission, Yuzhi Island will probably be the first to suffer.

"Chen Qing, I want to take on the guardian mission."

Zhao Fuli held up the hot sweet soup and made up his mind.

"Don't rush."

Chen Qing sat down opposite Zhao Fuli. Little did she know that Chen Qing would one day become a caring older sister.

Upon hearing Chen Qing's words, Granny Yu Hua glared at him.

Chen Qing ignored it and instead began to seriously analyze the situation for Zhao Fuli.

"You can choose not to take on destruction missions, but you still have to take on guardian missions."

"You want to leave the Dragon Pirates, don't you?"

Chen Qing said with absolute certainty.

"……Um."

Zhao Fuli lowered his head and nodded gently.

Hearing this from the beach outside, Shangjia became even angrier.

She vowed that she would never forgive Zhao Fuli unless she took the initiative to apologize to her!

"If you want to leave the Dragon Pirates, you'll have to be more careful about choosing your missions."

“I know you hate pirates, but you have to admit that you used to live under the protection of the Demon Dragon Pirates. The Demon Dragon Pirates shielded you from the storms of the outside world.”

"This may sound harsh, but you've been spoiled under the protection of the dragon. If you were to encounter even a pirate with a bounty of a hundred or so, you would most likely die at their hands."

“I know this is not what you intended, but realistically, your strength is insufficient to support you in taking on the guardian mission.”

"This war campaign is your opportunity."

Zhao Fuli is a very resilient person, and also a very charismatic one.

It was obvious from the first time Chen Qing met her.

At that time, Zhao Fuli was considered one of the best survivors, and many survivors gathered around her.

"I suggest you improve your strength first before considering the guardian mission. Even if you don't take the mission, you can still do what you want."

"The war won't end so quickly."

Chen Qing, taking a realistic stance, calmly analyzed the situation for Zhao Fuli.

Grandma Yuhua is a little annoyed with Chen Qing now, but she has to admit that Chen Qing is right.

This is the best option.

"If you want to take on a guardian mission, that's not out of the question."

"!"

Zhao Fuli raised his head and looked at Chen Qing expectantly.

Chen Qing didn't speak, but looked out the window at the Demon Dragon Pirate Crew.

"..."

Zhao Fuli's face immediately turned disgusted again. Okay, she understood what Chen Qing meant.

However, she had no intention of following suit and giving in.

That's really going too far! She threatened her with her friends!

Zhao Fuli didn't dare to say anything, especially since Chen Qing had threatened her yesterday as well.

Look how despicable this person's character is. He was all nice to Chen Qing just a moment ago, but the moment he turned around, he threatened to kill Chen Qing.

"Zhao Fuli, you can't have both ideals and reality right now."

Chen Qing cut to the chase.

If you can't have both, then you have to make a choice.

"I know."

Zhao Fuli answered sullenly, then asked cautiously.

"Can I sleep on your boat for two days?"

"I'll get off the ship as soon as I buy the new one."

Having just fallen out with the Demon Dragon Pirates, Zhao Fuli was too embarrassed to go back, nor did she want to.

"Um."

Chen Qing did not refuse Zhao Fuli, saying that she was both unlucky and lucky.

If Shangjia hadn't tricked her into joining the pirate crew, Zhao Fuli would have had a pretty good career on her own.

However, with the Dragon Pirates as a platform, she has indeed seen a wider world and is now starting off better than others.

There are pros and cons.

Granny Yuhua really wanted to encourage Zhao Fuli to take on the guardian mission, but unfortunately, Zhao Fuli was taken aboard by Chen Qing.

The other side did not stop it.

After having Mechanical Heart arrange a guest room for Zhao Fuli, Chen Qing returned to his studio.

Staying in her guest room, Zhao Fuli immediately began working on purchasing a new boat, as she was quite afraid of troubling Chen Qing.

Shangjia is a madman.

However, that very evening, the mechanical ship was visited by Shangjia.

Her arrival successfully drew Chen Qing out of the studio.

After being Zhao Fuli's confidante, Chen Qing now has to be Shang Jia's confidante as well.
