What did fight for honor mean?
-_-|||
Wasthat a cellphone game slogan?
“We seek our contractors because of our immortality, and we worship the strong to be strong,” Yu Zhe explained gravely.“We have always been proud.,but we take our words seriously. Once we give our word, we would never turn our backs. If you convince the elder grandprince into a 1v1 battle for honor, we would have a shot at winning!”
“You mean”—Yao Si took a step forward—”we should challenge them to a duel?” Why did it sound so dubious?
“Mmh.” He swept a glance over them. “When the time comes, you will challenge the elder grandprince to a battle of honor in front of the entire clan. This would prevent them from going back on their word. As long as you win, you can use the victor’s honor to send them back.”
“Using this universe as a bet…” Yao Si frownedas sheexchangeda glance with Mu Xuan. If they were to agree, it would definitely be viable, but the main point was…who would they be sending for the duel?
“Your man of course.” Yu Zhe saw through her thoughtsand pointed at Mu Xuan. “Who else is qualified? Even though I’m not sure of his background,but basedon his abilities, it wouldn’t be a problemfor himto defeat an elder grandprince in a 1v1 duel.”
That wasn’t a worry, but…
“Do we just have to defeat one of them?” If it was a fight against one person, would the others acknowledge it? There were three elder grandprinces. If it went to1v3, wouldn’t be any different from the previous lost cause scenario? Even though Mu Xuan waspowerful, fighting against three elder grandprinces would probably be too much.
“Who says it’s just him?” Yu Zhe rolled his eyesand pointed at her.“There’s you too!”
“…What?”Didn’t you say I’d betherejust as a decoy?
“The battle for honor isn’t limited to just abilities.” Yu Zhe glanced at her with disgust. “You’ll have to find a way for them to compete against your mental strength. With your perverted level in it, they wouldn’t stand a chance.”
Yao Si finally got it!
“In summary, you want me to… put on a front?
“…” Yu Zhe’s lips twitched, and he rolled his eyes at her before continuing.“Anyways, once you guys win against the two elder grandprinces, they would know that taking over this universe wouldn’t be as easy as they had imagined.”
If it really was as he said, it was indeed a good idea.
Eh,wait a minute!
“Weren’t there three elder grand princes? Why do we just have to winagainsttwo of them?” What happened to the third one? Or was it majority wins?
Yu Zhe stilled, his face darkening before he suddenly exploded in fury.“Enough! I’ve already been beaten to such a state, so what more do you want?”
Whatwas wrong? Whatwas with the sudden temper?
Perhaps…An absurd explanation popped into the minds of the crowd.
“You are anelder grandprince!?”
“What’s wrong?!”
“…”
The enemy’s strength seemed to have went down instantly!

–
The pure breeds came quickly!
They predicted three days for their arrival,but on the second day, Lin Long detected abnormal spatial movements near the Blue Planet.
There wasn’t even time for Yao Si to prepare before she was sent to the abyss. As expected, once they approached the BluePlanet, they found the surrounding darkness being ripped apart as it twisted and turned. Even the Blue Planet was starting to distort.
“They’re coming!” Lin Long announced, focusing his gaze straight ahead.
Yao Si’s heart shook, and she took ina deep breath to suppress her riled up emotions,but she couldn’t seem to calm down. Mu Xuan then tightened his grip around her handandcaressedher head.“Don’t worry, if… I’ll do it.”
Yao Si stilled,his wounded self resurfacing in her mind. She then shook her head violently.“No, Ican do it.”Wasn’t it just putting on a front? She could definitely do that.
A gigantic white portal gradually widened behind the Blue Planet. Yao Si couldn’t help but shove Li Zhengwho stood by her side.“Is there somewhere Ican sit?”
Li Zheng stilled before his eyes lit up.“As expected of my dad to think it through so well!You’ll certainly look morecommanding seated,and I just happen to have a limited editionportable chair with me.” He tapped open his optical computer to take out a glowing golden chairand placedit behind her.“Dad, take a seat. Let us oppress them with our imposing manner.”
“You misunderstood, my legs are feeling weak!”
“…”
When the first batch of troops came through the portal, the first thing that came into their sight was a majestic looking Yao Si sitting on the shinny golden chair. She looked down at the approaching troops with contempt, squinting her eyes slightly as though they didn’t mean a thing. Amongthe three men around her was even a bloodling from their world, Lin Long.
“I heard that you intend to take over our universe?” Yao Si said while scanning the crowddismissively, not taking them into account.
The pure breeds’mood sank instantly, exposing their apprehension.
Even a fool knew that something went wrong when Yu Zhe hadn’t returned. But he was an elder grandprince,and according to Lin Long’s previous report, they were just lowly other races in this universe. Logically thinking, there shouldn’t be any race stronger than them living in theuniverse,but the moment they entered, they were no longer so sure.
Whowas…thatperson?
Yao Si struggled to keep her composure, her nerves strung tight as she squintedto give the crowd a rugged scan. Deep inside, her heart was in a frenzy.My gosh, there is probably millions of them! If we really get into a fight…everything is going to go down the drain.
But she had to keep her composure, had to keep up the act.
“Excuse me, if you want this universe…” She turned toward the twomenat the front before spitting out, “You will have to go through me!”
“Who are you?” A women took a step forward, her brows furrowed. She had to be an elder grandprince that Yu Zhe had mentioned,and beside her… even though he had the appearance of a young child of about ten years old, was the strongest amongthe three elder grandprinces.
“I’m just one of the many races in this universe.” Yao Si tried toportray a nonchalant tone.“And what a coincidence, we’re called bloodlings as well.”
The faces of the two elder grandprincessank. They hadbeen informed about the bloodlings of this universe,but according to thereport, theywere a bunch of weaklings with impure blood. Had there beena mistake in the report?
Lin Long,whowas the person who’d made the report, seemed relatively calm despite being in the enemy’s camp, which was aclear sign that he had betrayed them. Thus, his report couldn’t be completely trusted.
“We’re extremely upset about your uninformed invasion,” Yao Si continued.“Hence, we couldn’t help but take action.” She turned to give Li Zheng a glance.
Li Zheng noddedandtugged Yu Zhe up forcefully before givinghim a shove forward. With a lift of his foot, he stomped on the fallen body.
“Isn’t he one of yours?”
“Elder grandprince!” the crowd exclaimed as they stared in disbelief. He wasanelder grandprince, one of the strongest among the grandprinces,sohow could he have been caught so easily?!
“Lin Long mentioned that you’rerather strong so we decided to test it, but…I accidentallyobliterated his abilities.” Yao Si waved her handwith fake sadness.
The faces of all the troops sunk. Anuproar broke out in the crowd since no one hadexpected this universe to have someone strong enough to obliterate an elder grandprince’s ability.
“How-how can that be, that’s Yu Zhe,the elder grandprince!”
“Abilities can bedecimated?”
“What kind of universe is this?”
“Wasn’t this universe filled with lowly inhabitants? Wasthe report inaccurate?”
“Can we win with the presence of such a race?”
The troops flew into a frenzy. After half a second, the child-like elder grandprince finally took a step forwardwith a dark gaze.In a heavy tone that didn’t fit his appearance, he asked, “What do you intend to do?”
Her presence here definitely wasn’t just for show,right?
“It’dbe too troublesome to deal with each and everyone of you. Since we’re here, why don’t”—Yao Si swept a glance at the youth before completing her sentence—”we fight for the bloodling honour. Three matches to determine the victor. If you win, your race can do anything you wish in this universe as long as you don’t disrupt my people,but if you lose…get out of my universe.”
“…”
At the last line, Yao Si’s heart was in her mouth. She struggled to stop her hands from clenching into fists or revealing anyothersigns of anxiety. Since she had already gone so far,she had to keep calm.Keep calm! Keep it together for everyone!
While thinking that, she couldn’t help taking a peak at the surrounding troops…
F*ck!
F*ck you, Yu Zhe!Wasn’t it just a kick from Li Zheng? Was there a need to show such apromiscuous expression? You’re supposed to be a hostage!
After what seemed like an eternity, she heard a reply from afar.
“Alright!”
