That made things clear.
She found it both funny and absurd, because such behavior seemed far too childish to her.
However, from Princess Lingyu's perspective, it seems reasonable. People who like to be superior to others, you never know where they might trigger their resentment.
Even if he falls into a pit on the road, he will compare whose pit is shallower; even if he is picking lice off his body, he will compare whose lice are bigger.
"Whoever harbored impure thoughts and had impure intentions, and whoever usurped the host's position and lacked discretion, is at fault," Qiao Lian'er said slowly.
Princess Lingyu snorted: "You think I'm competing with you for a man? My standards aren't that low. I'm just doing this for the sake of peaceful relations between our two countries, and at the same time, I'm abiding by the rules set by your Emperor of Daze Kingdom."
Qiao Lian'er looked at her, her eyes calm and quiet: "If Princess Lingyu truly cared about the peace between the two countries, she wouldn't be so fixated on a man she'd never met. It's probably just for her own selfish desires. You think the word 'rules' is your shield, but in reality, unless Dongfu Kingdom has the strength to crush Daze Kingdom, you'll be the one to back down."
"Besides, if you want to beat me, you can use your skills in other areas. That way, I can still have some respect for you instead of just looking down on you."
“You—” Princess Lingyu’s face turned slightly pale.
Qiao Lian'er was indeed clever; she actually figured out her intentions.
"Since Princess Zhenguo is talking about strength, putting aside other things, I'm afraid the naval power of Daze Kingdom cannot compare with that of Dongfu Kingdom. In the past, when Dongfu Kingdom deployed fewer troops, Daze Kingdom had to use several times more troops to suppress them. What if Dongfu Kingdom sent more ships and elite soldiers?"
Ling Yu wasn't afraid of revealing anything; since she hadn't planted any flags, she could just deny it to the death.
Naval battles occur between the two countries every year, and both sides have become accustomed to them.
"I'd also like to see what the situation would be like."
Qiao Lian'er's nonchalant tone made Ling Yu frown.
Is it because she has never been involved in naval affairs that Qiao Lian'er is being too naive, or does she really have some precautionary measures in place?
"Princess Zhenguo, don't think too lightly. Naval battles are not just about empty talk." Ling Yu sneered.
“I think so too.” Qiao Lian’er put her hands behind her back and looked at the horizon.
The waves crashed against the reefs with a deafening roar. The wind was blowing down to the coast, allowing the Dongfu Kingdom's warships to increase their speed a little further.
It should be time by now.
Seeing Qiao Lian'er's attitude, Ling Yu felt a vague unease.
It seems she really does know something—
Never mind, even if we know, so what? The Dongfu Kingdom has a thousand warships, their combat power is absolutely overwhelming.
When it comes to strength, nothing else matters.
On the horizon, a line of ships appeared faintly, sailing towards the shore with the help of the wind, becoming clearer and clearer.
"The fleet from Dongfu Kingdom is here again." The soldiers on the watchtower could see further and see even more ships, stretching as far as the eye could see.
Although the familiar flags were not flying, the ship's structure and design were no different from before.
The sentry shouted, "Prepare immediately! This is an unprecedented scale; we're likely to fight a fierce battle."
