Chapter 1216: Chapter 1216 Accepting the Challenge 2
“Throughout history, the ownership of Nahae waters has always been a point of contention between our country A and country K. Every twenty years serves as a time limit, and once it ends, a public vote is to be held at the United Nations to recontest the ownership. Twenty years ago, our country won because we had Xia Yanyan. But in the upcoming twenty years, it might not be so easy to fight for it again, yet the time for re-voting has arrived.”
“No one expected that Princess Juechen from country K turned out to be a mermaid as well. Today, country K publicly revealed Princess Juechen’s identity as a mermaid, causing quite a stir in country K and even worldwide. Country K has kept Princess Juechen’s mermaid identity a secret until now, likely to deliver a fatal blow to our nation during the upcoming revote!”
“Now, Princess Juechen of country K has challenged our nation’s new treasure, Xia Qiongqiong, to compete with her to determine who qualifies
to possess Nahae. This time, even if you want to hide your identity, you can’t, sister-in-law. You must fight for the nation and defeat Princess Juechen to win the Nahae ownership for the next twenty years for country A.”
Ye Xingguang pondered for a long time after hearing this: “Sister-in-law, I understand. Don’t worry, I will fight for the nation.”
“Sister-in-law, I’m really sorry. I know you don’t want to admit you are Xia Qiongqiong, but now…”
Ye Xingguang said: “It’s okay. Admitting I’m Xia Qiongqiong isn’t a big deal. It’s a bit troublesome, but for me now, trouble isn’t that significant. Since Princess Juechen wants to compete with me, I’ll compete with her. If I can beat her once, I can beat her a second time. But don’t worry, I won’t be careless and underestimate the enemy. I’ll prepare well for the battle.”
Yi Yujian said: “Alright, twenty days from now, there will be a Nahae contest between country A and country K above the Nahae. It will be a best of three battles, and many countries will send representatives to watch. At that time, you need to give it your all.”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Junteng asked her, “What’s going on?”
Ye Xingguang told him about Princess Juechen also being a mermaid and the challenge issued to compete with her for the future twenty-year ownership of Nahae. Ye Junteng furrowed his brows slightly.
“Don’t worry, I will give it my all.”
Tang Zhou: “I didn’t expect country K to really hold back. I’ve always known there was a Princess Juechen in the K royal family who is quite low-key. I didn’t know how she managed to turn herself into a mermaid and kept it suppressed until now to play a trump card. Xiao Xingguang, we definitely cannot lose to her. If we lose, it would mean losing the nation’s face.”
There’s more. Xia Yanyan was able to secure Nahae for the nation for twenty years. If she fails to do so, her status in the hearts of the A country’s citizens will instantly drop, and people will forget about Xia Yanyan’s overlookable acts of wrongdoing and reminisce about the benefits she once brought to the nation.
Therefore, this battle, she absolutely cannot lose. She must win to gain the hearts of the citizens.
Xiao Mi Hu, while fishing for food in the hot pot, rolled up her sleeves: “My friend, I support you. Let’s defeat that so-called princess! Cheers, cheering you on.”
Ye Xingguang also raised her glass: “Cheers.”
Mo Yinhe instinctively wanted to open the Healing System to check what kind of existence Princess Juechen was, then realized, his Healing APP was no longer usable, and he stretched out his small hand in frustration, annoyed. Luckily, without the Healing System, he still had ‘Beyond the Inferno’!
Immediately, he spun his communication ring and sent a message to the leader of ‘Beyond the Inferno’. He wanted information on Princess Juechen!
