When disaster struck, I became a big shot surviving in the ocean.

Chapter 262: Chapter 204: Are You Going to Oppose Me?_3

Chen Qing had intended to return to her ship, but after seeing Zhao Fuli’s state, she pondered for a moment and led her into the Bounty Guild.

Granny Yuhua had listened to the entire process of what happened outside; and when Chen Qing walked in with Zhao Fuli, she immediately gave up her own lounging chair for Zhao Fuli, even personally making a bowl of sweet soup for her.

Zhao Fuli was surprised and flattered by the affection; the old woman had previously treated her with disdain, so why had her attitude changed so suddenly?

Chen Qing knew why; just like Zhao Fuli, Granny Yuhua didn’t want a new war to break out.

If Zhao Fuli accepted the destruction mission, Yuzhi Island would probably be the first to suffer the consequences.

"Chen Qing, I want to take on a protection mission."

As she held the warm sweet soup, Zhao Fuli said resolutely.

"Don’t rush,"

said Chen Qing, sitting opposite Zhao Fuli, never thinking she would also have a day when she acted as a caring older sister.

Hearing Chen Qing’s words, Granny Yuhua cast a glare in Chen Qing’s direction.

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

"You don’t have to accept a destruction mission, but you don’t have to take on a protection one either,"

"You want to leave the Demon Dragon Pirate Group,"

Chen Qing asserted confidently.

"... Yes,"

replied Zhao Fuli, bowing her head slightly and nodding gently.

Shang Jia, who was outside on the beach, overheard and grew even angrier.

She swore that unless Zhao Fuli came to her and apologized on her own, she would never forgive her!

"If you want to leave the Demon Dragon Pirate Group, then you need to be even more cautious in choosing your missions,"

"I know you hate pirates, but you must acknowledge that you’ve been living under the protection of the Demon Dragon all this time. The Demon Dragon Pirate Group has shielded you from the storm outside,"

"This might be hard to swallow, but under the Demon Dragon’s protection, you’ve been coddled. Faced with even a pirate with a bounty of a hundred gold, you’d most likely die at their hands,"

"I know this isn’t what you intended, but realistically speaking, your strength isn’t enough to take on a protection mission,"

"This war event is your opportunity,"

Zhao Fuli was a very resilient person and also had great personal charisma.

Chen Qing could see that from the first time they met.

Back then, Zhao Fuli was one of the outstanding survivors, attracting many around her.

"I suggest you first improve your strength before thinking about protection missions. Even if you don’t take this one, you can still do whatever you want to do,"

"The war won’t end so quickly,"

Chen Qing, standing on pragmatic grounds, analyzed the situation for Zhao Fuli with a cool head.

Granny Yuhua was somewhat annoyed with Chen Qing but had to admit that what Chen Qing said was true.

It was the best option.

"If you really want to take on a protection mission, it’s not impossible,"

"!"

Zhao Fuli looked up at Chen Qing with anticipation.

Chen Qing didn’t speak, instead gazing out the window at the Demon Dragon Pirate Group.

"..."

Zhao Fuli’s face suddenly showed disdain; alright, she understood what Chen Qing meant.

But she had no desire to soften her stance toward Shang Jia.

Shang Jia was really going too far! She was threatening her using her friends!

Zhao Fuli didn’t dare to voice it, but Shang Jia had also used Chen Qing as a threat the day before.

Look at how low someone’s morals could sink; just a moment before, she had been all friendly with Chen Qing, and the next, she was threatening to kill her.

"Zhao Fuli, you can’t have both ideals and reality at your current state. You’ll have to make a choice,"

Chen Qing stated piercingly.

If one can’t have both, then one must make a sacrifice.

"I know,"

responded Zhao Fuli gloomily, and then she cautiously asked,

"Can I sleep on your ship for a couple of days?"

"I’ll leave as soon as I buy a new ship,"

Having just split with the Demon Dragon Pirate Group, Zhao Fuli felt awkward going back, and she didn’t want to go back either.

"Yes,"

Chen Qing didn’t refuse Zhao Fuli, saying she was both unlucky and lucky.

Without Shang Jia luring her into the pirate group, Zhao Fuli on her own could have also done quite well.

However, with the platform of the Demon Dragon Pirate Group, she really did get to see a broader world and had a better start than others.

There were pros and cons.

Granny Yuhua really wanted to encourage Zhao Fuli to accept the protection mission, but unfortunately, Zhao Fuli was already led onto the ship by Chen Qing.

Shang Jia didn’t stop her.

After Mechanical Heart arranged a guest room for Zhao Fuli, Chen Qing returned to her studio.

Staying in her guest room, Zhao Fuli immediately got to work on buying a new ship, not wanting to trouble Chen Qing.

Shang Jia was just a lunatic.

However, that very evening, the Mechanical Ship welcomed Shang Jia’s visit.

Her arrival successfully called Chen Qing out of the studio.

After being Zhao Fuli’s compassionate older sister, she had to do the same for Shang Jia.
