"…"
Princess A Xia blinked and stared at Theresa for a long time. "Well, what does' Cannon King 'mean?"
"It means he's good at firing cannons."
Theresa said, "Don't we have cannons on the Emerald Continent? Like magic cannons?"
"So, the hero that Sister Theresa admires is a cannoneer of magic cannons?"
Princess A Xia thought for a moment. "Is this Han Te … a dwarf?"
"Huh?"
Theresa was stunned and stammered, "Why do you say that?"
"Only goblins and dwarves like to use magic cannons," Princess A Xia said matter-of-factly.
"Isn't it a well-known fact? If he's not a dwarf, then he must be a goblin. It's really hard to imagine a Goblin with a manly spirit! "
"… No, he's a human."
After a moment of silence, Theresa said, "In fact, he's a very handsome young man, at least as handsome as Lord Blackjack, right?"
"Is that so?"
Princess A Xia looked at Theresa meaningfully and suddenly chuckled. "I see. I finally know why Sister Theresa wasn't attracted to Lord Blackjack immediately. This' Cannon King of Stars' Han Te must be your sweetheart in your hometown, right?"
"Pu —"
Theresa spat out the grilled meat in her mouth.
She coughed loudly and wiped it with a blushing face.
"No, of course not. Sister A Xia misunderstood me. I …" Theresa didn't know how to explain.
"No need to explain. I understand."
Princess A Xia gave her a very understanding look. "Every girl who is deeply in love always thinks that their lover is unique. Since he's Theresa's sweetheart, it's not strange that you would compare him to Lord Blackjack.
"However, I still insist that you haven't discovered the charm and power of Lord Blackjack. Compared to Lord Blackjack, that so-called 'Cannon King of Stars' Han Te is just a little boy with a runny nose. He's not a real man at all. By then, you'll definitely forget Han Te and fall deeply in love with Lord Blackjack."
"Who said that?"
Theresa was infuriated. "Han Te is not a boy with a snotty nose but a real man, an out-and-out hero! I also insist that, if one day, Sister Summer sees Han Te, the Cannon King of Stars, she will immediately forget Jack Thunder and fall in love with Han Te!
The two girls actually started arguing over such a boring topic.
"That's strange. What did this Han Te do to make Sister Theresa think of him as a hero more powerful than Lord Blackjack? If he is really so powerful, there is no reason why he is not famous in the Emerald Continent, right? "
Princess A Xia said, "Lord Blackjack once slayed nine dragons, broke into the Temple of Dark Assassins alone, and assassinated the best assassins on the Emerald Continent. He also fought seven sorcerers and made brilliant contributions in the War of Golden Roses. That's why we admire him so much.
"What about Han Te? What did he do to deserve to be called a hero, or at least a 'real man'?"
"This …"
Theresa blushed.
She thought for a long time, but she couldn't think of anything.
She was so anxious that her pink cheeks were bulging, and she was about to cry.
Seeing her reaction, Princess A Xia secretly blamed herself for being too impulsive and saying too much.
"I'm sorry, Sister Theresa. That's not what I meant."
Princess A Xia said, "What I meant was that you might've never seen a real hero in your hometown, so you were obsessed with the unimportant people in the remote places. But from now on, you will certainly see a lot of soul-stirring scenes following us and Lord Blackjack on adventures. By then, you will know what a real man and a hero look like."
"Who says that I've never seen a hero?"
Theresa bit her lips and said stubbornly, "Fine. Leaving 'Han Te, the Cannon King of Stars' aside, I've seen more heroes than anybody on the entire Emerald Continent!"
"Fine."
Princess A Xia wanted to end the topic. "Maybe there are really a lot of heroes in your hometown?"
"Not 'maybe'. It's true!"
Theresa held her head high and said proudly, "In my hometown, there's a man named 'A Boxing Champion' who attacked a city in the sky on his own with an iron body that was as magnificent as a castle!
"There's also a man named 'Boss Bai' who is a dominating bandit. Nothing can stop him from moving forward.
"There's also Li Jialing. Forget it. Let's not talk about him. He's just lucky and can't be counted as a real hero.
"However, there is still the greatest hero, which is one of my seniors. Although he is usually mischievous and frivolous, when it comes to the critical moment, no matter how dangerous and arduous the mission is, he will always step forward. Even if all the stars in the sky are standing on his opposite side, he will still run away without hesitation and launch an attack from the enemy's rear!
"All in all, those people are the real heroes. Their strength, bravery, determination, and wisdom, as well as their soul-stirring legends, make me feel that my blood is boiling. I can't wait to learn from them and become an out-and-out man! How can a mere Blackjack make me waver? "
"What are you talking about, Sister Theresa?"
Princess A Xia was amused. "You are a girl. How can you become an out-and-out man?"
"I … What I'm saying is that even a girl can be a hero. Women are as good as men!"
Blushing, Theresa said, "In my hometown, other than those men, there are also a lot of women who are as good as them.
"I once met the queen of a kingdom who led a revolution in person, trying to purge the corrupted kingdom with fire.
"I also met a woman who was known as' Blazing Tyrannosaur '. She could blow up a starship … or a mountain with one punch.
"There's also my … childhood sweetheart … sister. Although she does not have a high combat ability, she swore that she would plant a golden crop all over the world and make the world a better place.
"Right, there's also a senior named Long Yangjun. Although I'm not sure if she can be counted as a woman, she was able to toy with the old hero that I mentioned just now.
"In short, in my hometown, both men and women do their best to release their light and heat and live their most exciting lives. I also want to be like them and leave my name in the endless starry sky. With such an ideal, I really can't allow myself to be 100% devoted and attached to Lord Blackjack. Even if he is a super hero, I can't allow myself to do so!"
