"Despite defeating forty-six strategic fleets of the Fallen Empire and dealing a heavy blow to our opponents, there's not a hint of joy now. Instead, everyone is worried about the impact those Spires will have on the United Empire," Zang Xingyan said, holding a pair of chopsticks and swishing some slices of meat in a spicy hot pot.
Jun Jiushao sat across from him with a cup of plum juice before her. Her chopsticks remained untouched, clearly not sharing Zang Xingyan's appetite.
"Are you upset that no one remembers your achievements?" she asked.
Zang Xingyan, happily enjoying his hotpot, laughed and said, "No, that won't do. Besides, with a status like mine, there's no point in climbing any higher. Achievements or no achievements, it doesn't matter to me."
Jun Jiushao still wasn't eating, although hot pot, a delicacy from Country C, was something she enjoyed. But given the current situation, she just couldn't settle down to eat with Zang Xingyan.
