Chapter 102: Universe 6's Dragon Balls – Lend Them to Me!
With purple skin much like Beerus, the main difference was that Champa's frame was several sizes larger than Beerus's.
His bloated body and half-length tail made him look like a short-tailed cat no matter how you looked at it.
Soon, as Champa backed away, a silver-haired woman with a long ponytail appeared.
She held a red staff topped with a black gemstone, and wore a dark green uniform—there was no mistaking it, this was Vados.
With her light blue skin and refined features, she had a kind of exotic beauty. This was Lin Qi's first time seeing Vados in person.
"Cognac, what brings you to me?" Vados asked with a pleasant smile.
"It's Lord Quitela. He just happened to want to visit the God of Destruction's Realm in Universe 6, so here we are. But it looks like you guys weren't around," Cognac explained with a cheerful smile.
"You two didn't sneak off to Universe 7, did you?" Quitela narrowed his eyes and gave a contemptuous glance at Champa through the magic orb.
He'd heard plenty from Lin Qi—how Champa was always trying to sneak off to collect the Super Dragon Balls.
Though no one knew exactly why Champa was after them, whenever he wasn't around, it was a safe bet he'd run off to Universe 7 for them.
"Tch, why the hell would I sneak around to go to Universe 7?" Cold sweat slid down Champa's forehead, but he still stiffened his neck and barked back.
"I went there fair and square!"
"Heh... Then what's that glowing yellow planet under your feet?!" Quitela sneered as he stared at the scene in the orb.
Lying so blatantly and not even bothering to cover your tracks? Typical...
"Uh... That..." Champa was sweating bullets now. He whipped around and yelled at Vados.
"What's wrong with you?! Couldn't you fix the projection properly? Now they've spotted our Dragon Ball!!"
"Lord Champa, are you speaking to me?" Vados kept smiling sweetly, but her eyes glinted with danger.
"Sounds like you want to cut down your food intake again. From now on, you'll be drinking only water!"
"Ah..." Champa flinched. He wiped his sweaty forehead, trying to please her. "Don't be like that, Vados..."
"Can't we work something out...?"
Watching Champa grovel in the orb, Lin Qi's mouth twitched. Poor fat cat...
People were always saying in the comments that Vados should be part of the harem, but they clearly didn't understand her personality.
On the surface, she treated Champa with the same deference as Whis did with Beerus, but in truth, her favorite pastime...
Was teasing Champa and making him miserable. And among the angels, she probably had the worst temper.
Bad enough that when she got mad, even Champa had to bow his head and give in—like right now...
The worst part? She kept Champa on a tight leash, and he never dared talk back.
Poor, fat Champa. Boiled bird eggs were the peak of his culinary enjoyment, and even those came only every now and then!
Anyway, back on track...
"Hey, hey, how many have you collected?" Quitela, seeing Champa and Vados had made it out of trouble, steered the topic back on course.
"Lend us your Dragon Balls for a bit!"
"Yeah, right! I collected these with blood, sweat, and tears! You think you can just borrow them?!" Champa's fawning smile instantly twisted into a scowl as he glared through the orb. "You damned rat, sneaking into my turf!"
"Oh? Damn, you're all bark, fat cat. You think you're Beerus or something?!" Quitela snapped back with a sneer, rolling up his sleeves.
"You wanna throw hands?"
"Oh-ho..." Seeing that, Champa's temper flared. He yelled at Vados, "Let's go! We're heading back!"
"I'm gonna teach that rat what it means to act human!"
As the magic orb on Cognac's staff went dark, Lin Qi turned to Quitela. "You're really gonna spar with Champa?"
"Heh heh..." Quitela stood with hands on hips, tail swaying slyly, and grinned. "Just wait, you'll see!"
It wasn't long before a flash of light streaked across the skies above the God of Destruction's Realm.
Lin Qi saw Vados and Champa return, stopping less than a kilometer away.
As soon as he spotted Quitela, Champa clenched his fists and ran straight toward them.
"Quitela... you damn... huff... huff..." He hadn't even gone 300 meters before he was gasping, drenched in sweat.
"Hey, Vados, why didn't you land right in front of them?!" Champa braced his hands on his knees, grumbling breathlessly.
Vados strolled over casually and gave him a sharp sideways glance. "You're too fat... You need the exercise."
"Is that how you treat a God of Destruction?" Champa snapped back, fuming.
Vados didn't even look at him. She walked past gracefully. "Keep this up and you'll be round as a ball."
Lin Qi yawned as the two finally reached their group at a leisurely pace.
"Fat cat, come at me! Just look at yourself!" Quitela sneered at the wheezing Champa.
"Huff... huff..." Champa couldn't even talk. He flopped to the ground without a shred of dignity, just trying to catch his breath.
"Vados, haven't seen you in a while—you've gotten even more beautiful!" Quitela ignored the heap on the ground and started buttering up Vados.
Vados giggled charmingly, raising her hand to her mouth. "Hehehe... Lord Quitela, your sweet talk never changes."
"So this is your disciple? Looks like a promising one!"
The two began exchanging pleasantries, while Champa finally caught his breath and got to his feet, patting the dust off his backside.
He glared at Quitela, hands on hips. "You bastard! No way I'm giving you the Dragon Balls!"
"Hmph! Bring it on! You think I'm scared?"
Champa and Quitela were bickering again, while Cognac and Vados chatted off to the side.
"Is Lord Champa planning to make a wish? How many Dragon Balls have you gathered?" Cognac asked.
"How would I know what wish he has in mind? Getting him to move around more is already a win. Just look at how fat he is," Vados replied with a shrug, glancing at her magic orb.
She slid her finger across the surface and added nonchalantly, "We've already collected five."
"That many already?"
Cognac gave Quitela a subtle look. Quitela also stopped arguing and turned to Vados. "Can you lend them to us?"
"In your dreams! You wish!" Champa shot back, spittle flying as he shouted in protest.
