Crossing the stars, I live-streamed my cultivation in kindergarten

Chapter 383 Prince Qingnang
The Sixth Army Corps and the teachers at Sunshine Kindergarten are at an impasse.

Because of his uncle's imperial decree, Shi Zhongming restrained himself from ordering his subordinates to teach these disobedient orcs a lesson with their fists. He felt he had already been accommodating enough, yet these orcs still didn't know what was good for them and kept chattering away.

No, I need to tell my cousin, the Crown Prince, about this as well.

He gestured to his adjutant behind him to record everything, emphasizing in detail how dutiful and aggrieved he had been, and how rude and unruly these orcs were!

The teachers, on the other hand, thought that the marshal of the Sixth Army Corps was seriously mentally ill and difficult to communicate with!
Hilcher and Essen, who had remained calm since discovering Jiang Yuxi's disappearance, received the message at the same time.

Essen received the message: Coordinates have been determined.

Hilcher received the message: All is well, nothing is wrong.

As a result, the other kindergarten teachers noticed that Essen and Hilcher, who had always been compliant, were acting differently.

Essen sneered, "I think it's more likely that Principal Xixi is in trouble than that she's run away! As the Imperial Marshal, you should be quick to help Imperial citizens who have gone missing or been kidnapped, instead of searching for so-called spies here? This is truly an eye-opener for me."

Hilcher looked directly into Shi Zhongming's eyes and slowly said, "Marshal Shi, as far as I know, in the interstellar world, any orc who is identified as a subject of the interstellar supreme court will be branded with a mental mark immediately."

This brand was jointly applied by the Imperial Emperor, the Federal President, and the Merfolk King. Once branded with this mental mark, no matter how vast the galaxy, an orc has nowhere to escape, unless the branded's mental strength exceeds the combined mental strength of the three leaders.

"Since you can't escape, why did you try to escape, Lady Jiang Yuxi?"

Shi Zhongming was furious with Essen, and then he was speechless for a moment because of what Hilcher said.

Finally, picking on the weakest link, he turned his attention to Essen.

"How dare you, an old man, talk to me like that? I said she fled to escape punishment, and that's it. Do I need a mere sea beastman like you to teach me how to do things? Besides, I wouldn't even take a female like that for free. Are other people blind to kidnap her? Do they have nothing better to do?"

Breaking news: Elwin family's Hilcher has been promoted to SSS-rank, so he, being only SS-rank, definitely can't beat him.

As for the sea beastmen, what ability could a mere healer have? They were completely at his mercy.
Essen stroked his beard, speaking with an air of mystery, "Hmph, I am a sea beastman. Whatever mistakes I've made, my sea king will deal with them. It's not up to you, a four-legged beastman who runs on the ground, to whine. Don't think that just because you're a lowly marshal in the empire, even the emperor can do anything to me!"

Essen's words were pointed, but to the furious Shi Zhongming, the flirtatious glances were like throwing a fool a shot.

The flames in Shi Zhongming's chest burned even brighter.

He laughed angrily, "Fine, so you're just a lowly sea beastman, and you actually want to teach me how to do things?"

His overwhelming mental pressure pressed down on Essen.

Essen stroked his beard and smiled.

Oh dear, ever since he came to live with Princess Xixi, his temper has calmed down, his mood has improved, he eats well, and he's in great health!
He especially enjoys seeing others get angry and helpless.

It felt like going back to the time before the sea creatures had gotten into trouble, when they would take the lead in bullying little Perez and watching him cry his heart out.

Unfortunately, after the incident with the sea creatures, only he and a few elders remained of that generation of princes, and he lost interest in teasing Perez.

The clash between Hilcher's mental power and Shi Zhongming's created an unseen wave.

The teachers around them were nearly thrown away by the shockwave. Shi Zhongming took three steps back, gritting his teeth, and said, "Hilcher! I, the Marshal, have not provoked you! What do you mean by this? Are you trying to make an enemy of my Empire?"

Shi Zhongming was furious!
That ungrateful Hilcher, just because he's the head of the Elwin family, he doesn't respect him at all!
This isn't the first time!

Hilcher remained calm: "Marshal Shi, my Elwin family has maintained good relations with the Sea Clan for generations. Today, you have disregarded the relationship between the Empire and the Sea Clan and openly attacked Prince Eisen. I will truthfully inform His Majesty the Empire and His Highness the Crown Prince."

When Essen heard the phrase "generations of friendship," he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

If they were truly on good terms for generations, how could Hilcher have never stepped into the Sea Clan's Crystal Palace?
A man's mouth is a deceitful devil!

Shi Zhongming exclaimed in surprise: "A prince of the sea tribe? This old..." thing?
Essen stood tall and proud: "It is indeed I, one of the seven princes of the 1611th generation of the Sea Clan, with the title of Qingnang."

Sea princes are extremely rare, with only four to seven in each generation.

They are all the best among the top nobles of the sea tribe.

Once Essen's "prince" status was revealed, the kindergarten teachers all looked at him differently.

It's as if he's saying, "We were supposed to be ordinary beasts, but you're actually a prince?"

Essen stroked his beard and chuckled, "As a beast, I usually prefer to keep a low profile. Prince is just a title, nothing to brag about." Though he said it wasn't worth bragging about, Essen's smile said otherwise.

He was secretly pleased with himself: Only a few days had passed, and he had already built good relationships with Princess Xixi's subordinates and employees. They were all young and ambitious, and they all admired him so much; Princess Xixi would surely think he was incredibly capable and worthy of admiration.

Just imagining the soft, cuddly little mermaid following him around, calling him "Grandpa Essen~" with adoration, and maybe even praising him, "How are you so amazing~", makes Essen unable to suppress the corners of his mouth.

Shi Zhongming's arrogance instantly turned into a small flame.

He's just impulsive, not really brainless.

Teaching a lesson to an ordinary sea beastman is not as serious as offending a sea prince.

He might only receive a verbal reprimand for the former, but for the latter, not only him, but even his cousin, the Crown Prince, would be implicated.

He wasn't afraid of being beaten, locked up, or suspended from his post, but he was afraid of affecting his cousin, the Crown Prince's, reputation.

Thinking of this, he quickly stood up and brought the stool he was sitting on to Essen.

"So it's Prince Qingnang! Isn't this a case of the flood washing away the Dragon King's temple? My bad, I just lost control of my mental energy and almost hurt you. Fortunately, Chief Hilcher helped me block it."

"Thanks to Chief Hilcher for his intervention, which saved me from making a mistake. However, it's such a small matter that there's no need to inform my cousin, the Crown Prince; he's quite busy..."

In order not to affect his cousin, the Crown Prince, he adopted the humble attitude he usually showed in front of him.

The soldiers of the Sixth Army Corps were already used to it.

Their marshal may be short-tempered, but that's how he treats the crown prince!
The teachers who were "invited" over were completely dumbfounded.

Is this the same fire-breathing male from before? Doesn't he look like a human?
