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

Chapter 384 The hot-tempered Essen, and the adaptable Shi Zhongming
Adonis recalled the rumors he had heard at the Royal Hospital and, considering the situation before him, tentatively said, "Speaking of which, it seems that His Highness the Crown Prince and our Principal Xixi are old acquaintances. Many of the supplies the Sun Army has received, such as jerky, new defensive shields, and medicines, are provided by our school."

Shi Zhongming was stunned: "Old acquaintance? How is that possible? Who is my cousin, the Crown Prince? How could he possibly know a down-and-out woman?"

When he said this, Shi Zhongming's tone was one of undisguised disdain.

"How dare you! You're just a military supplies supplier? My empire has plenty of suppliers like that! How dare you, with such a lowly status, try to associate yourself with my cousin, the Crown Prince?" Shi Zhongming was very displeased.

Want to scare him off with a few words? If you want to, Hilcher and Prince Essen said he would listen to you from the bottom of his heart, because they both belong to the top tier of the interstellar community.

But when others say it, Shi Zhongming doesn't necessarily take it seriously.

Essen snorted coldly, his face falling again, looking somewhat like a mean old man.

"What a pathetic wretch! You speak so harshly at such a young age. I should ask your Emperor how he raised the next generation! How could he produce such a snobbish descendant like you! If you have eye problems, go find a beast doctor! I thought your head was full of water, but now I realize it's full of Raffia grass!" Raffia grass is a notoriously useless grass in interstellar space.

"Don't think that your royal family is so noble. If you round it up, aren't you just four-legged beasts that run on land? Who's more noble than whom?"

"Our Xixi is small and of low status? But now it is your royal family and your military that are begging our Xixi to supply supplies. Last time, it was your Sun Army's Rin who represented the empire, and the emperor and empress personally negotiated with our Xixi. They still had to speak politely to discuss whether the supply could be long-term and whether the supply could be increased. How come it sounds so insignificant from your mouth?"

"Since that's the case, let's take this opportunity to cut off the supply! Anyway, Xixi's products are good, and our sea tribe wants to cooperate with Xixi. Our king said that as long as Xixi is willing to cooperate, she can name her own terms!"

"However, don't expect our school to pay a single star coin in breach of contract, because you insulted our Xixi first, which is a serious violation of Article 31, Section 5 of the contract. You have insulted the supplier without cause. I will personally speak to your Emperor on behalf of the kindergarten about this."

"It is truly a blessing for the Empire to have you. Your rudeness to me and our Xixi today has seriously affected the friendly relations between the Empire and our sea tribe. I will make sure to report this to my king."

……

For a full half hour, neither the kindergarten teachers nor the Sixth Legion led by Shi Zhongming could get a word in edgewise.

Essen finished speaking with the speed of an interstellar laser gun, secretly pleased with himself: over the years, he had used his silver tongue to insult the entire sea race. He had thought that after finding Princess Xixi, his mood would be much better, and he would have to put aside his decades-long honing of his verbal skills. He had felt a little regretful before, but now he realized that they were still very useful. Wasn't this exactly what he needed?
The kindergarten teachers were completely stunned.

Their impression of Mr. Essen was quite varied and constantly changing.

Before they met him, they had heard that the Sea Clan's chief physician, Lord Esen, had a violent temper. While others were easily angered, he was someone who would explode at the slightest provocation.

After meeting and spending time with him, they realized that the "orcs" online were just making trouble and spreading rumors, misleading the public. Professor Essen, on the other hand, was clearly a cheerful, lively, straightforward, generous, and knowledgeable old man.

But now...

So what's being said online is all true? It really explodes at the slightest touch?
His fighting prowess is unmatched by anyone in the entire kindergarten! One of his mouths is worth a hundred!

The insults made Shi Zhongming and the soldiers beside him look ugly, but they dared not refute. During this time, Shi Zhongming's spiritual power flickered, as if he wanted to transform into a blade and slash, but he was held back tightly by the soldiers around him.

"Marshal, think of the Empire, think of His Majesty, think of the Crown Prince!"

"Marshal, this is a prince of the sea tribe! One of the few remaining princes, of the same generation as our previous emperor!"

"Marshal, think about the diplomatic relations between our two countries! This is the first time that the Sea Clan has formally established friendly relations with our Empire since the Rebel Alliance incident more than a hundred years ago."

"Marshal, the bigger picture is at stake. Their mermaid king is still living on our Imperial Star! We can't act rashly and give him a handle against us!"

Shi Zhongming was so frustrated he felt like he was about to burst into flames.

"I've never been insulted like this by a beast in my entire life!"

The soldiers comforted him.

"No, Marshal, your esteemed cousin, the Crown Prince, cursed him, frequently, and even beat him. Have you forgotten?"

Shi Zhongming said proudly, "Pah! Who else could my cousin, the Crown Prince, be? Besides, he scolded me for my own good, to spur me on. Look at all these White Tiger branches of the Empire, how many of them were lucky enough to be scolded by the Crown Prince every day when they were young? Only me! Only me!"

Ji Xiaohui, the soldier who had served Shi Zhongming the longest, thought to himself: Wasn't it you who used to go around asking His Highness the Crown Prince for scolding and beatings every day when you were a child? So among the collateral White Tigers, you've been beaten the most! You were clearly very disrespectful to His Highness the Crown Prince when you were a child, but who knew you'd be beaten into submission after all that beating? As his subordinate and attendant, he had never been able to figure this out.

Ji Xiaohui: "His Majesty and the Empress also scolded him."

Shi Zhongming said proudly, "Pah! Those are my cousin's parents. How can they be the same as others? They love him because of his love for me! They love my cousin, so naturally they love me too!"

Ji Xiaohui: "So, you've cut off all the important military supplies to your cousin, the Crown Prince, in order to repay His Highness the Crown Prince for his encouragement and trust over the past century, is that right?"

Shi Zhongming was like a duck with its neck grabbed or a snake with its vital spot pinched.

He's always been arrogant, and for him to bow down to an outsider is worse than death.

Ji Xiaohui leaned close to his ear: "I heard that His Majesty and His Highness are particularly concerned about this batch of supplies and have been hoping that the suppliers could increase the supply, but they have all refused. Didn't you see the news that came back from the front the day before yesterday? It says that the effect of the medicine is about the same as the effect of our military treatment pods and advanced medical drugs used in combination..."

"And those protective shields, some of them were even able to withstand the Zerg's slime corrosion. These shields played a huge role in wiping out the acid Zerg..."

"Marshal, think of your cousin, the Crown Prince, who is still fighting desperately against the Zerg on the front lines..."

Shi Zhongming, who had already silently recited "I can bend and stretch" in his heart, put on a fawning smile: "Prince Essen, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding..."
