Thanks for the chapter!
That picture of the chicken painting Qin is nice, but would look better if it added a black paint goatee, swirls on cheeks, and funniest things drawn on a person's face with a marker or black paint.
Btw, why is the boss of the ship that had the Heart referred to as a he with a chest like that, seems more like middle aged woman than a man to me?
Bet you dollars to doughnuts that the person behind Qin Hiu isn't a family member or subordinate of hers but the long absent Yuan. Poor Qin Hiu, after all that's happened she still thinks that power and position makes her above the law, able to say or do anything without reprisal, that what's good for her and other corrupt officials at the expense of those considered beneath them is for humanity while standing up to them is against humanity, and that she's safe where she is. Dragon Slayer Alliance lost 3 of their new main ships, a teleporting command ship, multiple fleets comprising of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and ships, and yet thinks she's untouchable when all that didn't help the others one bit. Frankly I'm not sure which is more surprising, the fact they were able to find so many scummy soldiers to follow their corrupt wills or the surviving ones don't wise up and quit for a safer job like cleaning up nuclear waste where required to bring your own hazmat suit.
Guess we know where Yuan has been up to now but why didn't Qin Hui notice or try to punish Yuan for gutpunching her and throwing two Ditu soldiers out a 20th+ story window? Or was she thinking princess left due to broadcasts on Beiyang's ship and too busy to think about it or do anything while Yuan was hiding quietly in the princess' room fooling everyone else around? Wonder if Yuan is going to call the Emperor up to ask permission to paint Qin on the palace's outside walls? In any case, never mind seven days two of the group are going to get painted within seven hours. Also, what's Dragon Queen, Cannon girl, Demon race girl, sensei, Yin, her mother, Immortal Godmother, and Mu's top supporters other than Yuan up to? Even if following events being broadcast doubt they're just standing around watching what happens without doing anything.
@Deonis Painting is ok but needs variety or something to give it that extra oomph. After all this is his fifth or sixth painting, 3rdish with painting a deck so the uniqueness is wearing off. After all, painting the admiral and his son for the first and second time was new, unique, and exhilarating. Especially since painting an Insect King circumferencing one of Merak's moons three times was on such a grand scale that could be seen from planet Merak with the naked eye.
