Sky-cracking Rider
Chapter 1215 1186: Notice
After the young dragons and magical beasts departed, only Chen Fei and the female juvenile Metallic Dragon Yilan were left. Only then did S-Class Space Ability User Heseman Brown and Dang Wei Jun dare to approach Chen Fei.
The female butler, Ms. Mason, hesitated for a moment but followed them.
Heseman Brown asked, bewildered, "'Rookie,' what just happened? Wasn't there supposed to be a duel? Why did everyone suddenly run off!"
"I don't know either, maybe it had something to do with the verdict from the Heraldry Institute?"
Chen Fei looked towards the platform where the host and Noble coat of arms representatives were seated, and spoke through the microphone attached to him, "Judge, canceling a sacred duel requires an explanation, doesn't it?"
The people of the Slan Dynasty like to talk about sacred duels, so let's go with the flow. Anyway, a lowly death and a sacred death are essentially the same; they both end up as rapidly decaying meat.
After downing a magic potion, the effects were immediate. Regaining most of his vitality and spirit, the Marquis Sidney Ona, representative of the Noble coat of arms, said loudly into the microphone, "I will request Her Majesty the Empress to issue a prohibition order against your contact with the Pure Light Sparrow! Hmph!"
Prohibition against contacting the Pure Light Sparrow?
Chen Fei and those around him exchanged confused looks. What kind of logic is that? Did the Pure Light Sparrow bother you or eat your rice?
"(ˉ▽ ̄~) Tch~~ Slan people are just this petty!"
Chen Fei was at a loss for words about their fussing over a mere little bird.
Both Heseman Brown and Dang Wei Jun nodded in agreement.
"Sorry! I don't understand this!"
The female butler, Ms. Mason, bowed slightly. She wasn't being polite, just truthful, genuinely not understanding the twists and turns here. How could she know that once the harmless Pure Light Sparrow makes contact with Chen Fei, it would transform into something terrifying enough to make even dragons panic?
The anticlimactic duel left people especially annoyed. I'd brought out such a big cannon, and yet couldn't fire a shot. Next time, don't bother inviting me!
Using the psi skill, the S-Class Space Ability User activated their special ability on-site, instantly causing all four on-site and the female juvenile Metallic Dragon Yilan to vanish from their original spot. The next second, they appeared in the Delan City Public Park, inside the residence arranged for Chen Fei by Her Royal Highness the Princess.
"Eh? We're here already? The psi skill has a smaller impact than the Silver Dragon's space magic."
Yilan looked around, immediately realizing her current location had shifted from the Imperial Stadium outside the city to a mansion-like residence within the park area inside the city.
"Ms. Mason!"
Chen Fei turned to the female butler.
Ms. Mason clasped her hands before her abdomen and bowed, "Your orders, please!"
Chen Fei said, "Please hang a notice outside the main gate stating that this duel was canceled by the verdict of the Noble coat of arms referee. Besides, the duel rules were unfair and too harshly one-sided on us, so I will refuse all challenges. If anyone insists on initiating a duel, they must accept the joint challenge of my dragon partner, airship fleet, and Pure Light Sparrow flock; otherwise, no challenge letters will be accepted. Emphasize particularly at the end, if you can't play, don't come challenge."
Using this forced duel interruption as an opportunity to turn down subsequent challenges is a great way to enjoy some peace and quiet.
Otherwise, facing endless challenges would leave one no peace.
"Exactly, if someone wants to challenge, they must follow our rules!"
Heseman Brown clapped his hands and laughed. Forced to fight on away grounds, they must strive to set some advantageous conditions.
Chen Fei has truly learned from this experience, gaining a bit more cunning from the lesson.
"Hahaha, no wonder he's my knight, not forgetting Yilan in such matters."
The female juvenile Metallic Dragon wagged her dragon tail joyfully, flattening a patch of meticulously tended flowers and grass.
The "Big Sister" status in Dragon Breeding Garden was earned by personally beating up every little one there, continually thrashing any who refused to submit, until they did.
"Of course, you and I, we're inseparable!"
Chen Fei extended his hand, patting Yilan whose body was covered in sharp scales, thinking to himself that she's the one you can rely on.
If it were someone else, not just holding hands, even a slight touch would cause blood to flow, and if the dragon girl were to give them a kiss, they'd likely die on the spot.
According to Chen Fei's instructions, Ms. Mason swiftly arranged everything. In less than half an hour, a not-too-big, not-too-small notice board was hung at the main gate, effectively dissuading several people intending to submit challenge letters, or rather, angering them away.
Who in their right mind would challenge both a dragon, an airship fleet, and a Pure Light Sparrow flock? And why do Pure Light Sparrows keep showing up, is it an insult?
Getting infuriated is the reasonable reaction, especially with the follow-up sentence, what does 'can't play, don't play' even mean?
This isn't human language.
For a while, the video of the Marquis Sidney Ona, the Noble coat of arms representative, explaining things to the host didn't spread, so seeing the mention of the Pure Light Sparrow flock on the notice board, most people just got angry without considering the truth behind it.
Princess Her Royal Highness Lin Ziyu, who invited Chen Fei to Cangqiong Star, finally spared some time to visit the residence, and also brought the materials Chen Fei needed.
While Chen Fei swiped through the tablet screen, quickly checking the materials, the Princess made a small complaint.
"Chen Fei, you've given me quite the challenge!"
Chen Fei's gaze briefly strayed from the tablet screen, dismissing the claim, "Challenge? What challenge? If Her Highness is referring to those challenges, don't blame it on me. It originates from you."
"You've already offended many nobles, some even complained to my mother, which only strains relations between Blue Star and Cangqiong Star even more."
The duel caused a chain reaction, involving not only Lin Ziyu and Chen Fei but also in the court. The previously strained diplomatic relations with Blue Star have now led to more verbal skirmishes.
"Can't the people of Cangqiong Star put friendship first and duel second? I'm practically your shield now, Princess, should you at least say a few good words for me?" Chen Fei couldn't help but lament, crying for justice.
To be fair, his bizarre dueling conditions aside, Chen Fei really was a victim of circumstance. Despite declaring a girlfriend, he's been forcibly classified as Her Royal Highness the Princess's suitor. All the challengers seem to want to demonstrate their superiority through him, as if not trampling on him would stop them from shining in front of Her Royal Highness.
"Where is 'friendship first, duel second' applicable here? If you're so reluctant, I'll keep them off in the future."
Lin Ziyu, being a reasonable princess, naturally couldn't put all the blame on Chen Fei.
