Chapter 120: Fighting Is Fighting; My Rotten Mouth Let Old Mud Take Advantage
Jiang Tea Tea acted as if she had heard the biggest joke in the world. Weighing the branch staff in her hand, she smiled at Li Ao and said: “Rude to me? Have you heard a saying? Dogs that bite do not bark, and dogs that bark do not bite.”
She went on: “You bark so loud, which shows you cannot beat me at all. Do you know why you cannot beat me? Because your supernatural abilities are too mixed.”
“You know why your abilities are so mixed? Because you are too greedy. Other people’s rare supernatural abilities, other people’s variant supernatural abilities, you study them and want to make them your own, and move them onto yourself. Right, Director Li?”
Li Ao was poked right in the heart. His eyes could not help sneaking a look at Chong Ming. Flustered and angry, he raised his voice and shouted: “Classmate Jiang Tea Tea, this is the Imperial Military Headquarters. Behind you is Commander in Chief Chong Ming. You cannot talk nonsense here and throw dirty water on me.”
He said loudly: “Everything I do is for the Empire, for the benefit of beastmen, half-beastmen, and pure humans in the Empire who have not awakened supernatural abilities.”
“When you did not awaken supernatural abilities at the age you were supposed to, how many looks of disgust and injustices did you suffer? You know that best.”
“I am doing this for the Empire, for more people like you, and you still throw dirty water on me. You are really too selfish.”
Jiang Tea Tea snorted with laughter and said: “I am throwing dirty water on you? If you had not been so desperate to drag me into the Supernatural Abilities Research Institute, I would not have bothered to use my own supernatural abilities to see how many abilities you have on you.”
Li Ao’s pupils shrank sharply, his voice trembling as he said: “You can see how many supernatural abilities other people have? You do not just have a variant plant-type ability and invisibility…”
“Moron.” Jiang Tea Tea cursed at him to remind him, cutting him off as she snapped: “Use your toes to think for a second. Why do you think I am here? Because I am capable, and your Commander in Chief Chong Ming invited me.”
Sui Xuan Chu could only say: “…”
[My roommate is not wrong.]
When she borrowed power to bully others, she was even more confident than him, the Crown Prince.
[Wasn’t she supposed to be scared of his uncle? After all that, she is using his uncle to pressure people and is not scared at all?]
[Is this the confidence of an Outstanding Student?]
[He is a bad student, he is not outstanding. In front of his uncle he cowers, he is scared, he has no confidence at all.]
The corner of Chong Ming’s lips hooked up by the tiniest curve, his golden eyes fixed on Jiang Tea Tea.
[Such a practical little thing.]
When she needed him, she called him “Commander in Chief Chong Ming” over and over.
When she butted heads with him, she called him that old mud loach, old mud loach.
When she was snorting and glaring at him, she called him that in a strange, mocking tone.
Now she was using him to put on a fake tiger’s might and scare others.
Li Ao did not dare look into the Commander in Chief’s eyes at all.
He had been too hasty.
Commander in Chief Chong Ming had shut down the Supernatural Abilities Research Institute for four or five months and only let him out today. Seeing such a rare variant supernatural ability user like Jiang Tea Tea, he got so impatient and carried away that he wanted to drag her into the Supernatural Abilities Research Institute.
“You are doing this for the Empire? For people like me?” Jiang Tea Tea clicked her tongue. The branch staff in her hand once again swung down at his head as she said: “Director Li, if you tell a lie too many times, you start to believe it yourself, right?”
Li Ao dodged and tried to mobilize his supernatural abilities to fight back, but suddenly he felt a powerful oppressive aura press down on him like a mountain.
The abilities he had just stirred up scattered at once under the pressure. He could not counterattack Jiang Tea Tea, and she took the opening and swung backhand again.
With a smack, the branch staff struck his forehead, leaving a bloody mark across his forehead and the bridge of his nose.
Jiang Tea Tea felt the powerful oppressive aura coming from Chong Ming. She kicked Li Ao hard, sending him sprawling at Chong Ming’s feet. She raised her chin high, her dark eyes staring straight into his golden ones, and snapped at him: “Way too late!”
He was releasing an oppressive aura to help her?
[This was really like taking off your pants just to fart, totally pointless and extra.]
Sui Xuan Chu shivered and his hand trembled. No wonder she was his roommate, she was bold to the max. He really wanted to kneel to her and shout that she was a hero. He also wanted to kneel to his uncle and hope his Lord would not hold a grudge against small people and would not take his roommate’s behavior to heart.
Chong Ming did not even look at Li Ao lying at his feet. He lifted his boot and stepped on the back of Li Ao’s hand, forcing him to stay face down on the floor. As if nothing had happened, he kept his low, oppressive gaze on Jiang Tea Tea and said to Deputy Officer Ai: “Deputy Officer Ai, find someone to explain the physical and mental condition of Grand Imperial Prince Aceras to Asais, the Crown Princess Heir of the Insectoid Race, again.”
“Yes, Commander in Chief.” Deputy Officer Ai answered, then gave a glance at the researcher Li Ao had brought.
The researcher immediately picked up the two cases Li Ao had been carrying and left with Deputy Officer Ai.
After seeing them get into the lift, Chong Ming said to Jiang Tea Tea and Sui Xuan Chu: “You two go wait for me in my office.”
Jiang Tea Tea did not move and asked him: “Before I go to your office, I want to know how you are going to deal with him.”
Chong Ming asked back: “How do you want to deal with him?”
Jiang Tea Tea said mockingly: “However I want to deal with him? Do I have the power to ignore the Law Code?”
Chong Ming replied seriously: “Even I cannot ignore the laws.”
Jiang Tea Tea snapped in annoyance: “Then why are you asking me?”
Sui Xuan Chu was speechless: “!!!!”
[Yes, yes, his uncle could not ignore the law.]
But he was the Empire’s top leader. Even if he became emperor, His Majesty, as long as he did not retire, his power would still be greater, and he could take part in changing the Empire’s laws.
To put it simply, he could not ignore the law, but he stood above the law, and the rules of the law were made by him.
Chong Ming was neither angry nor annoyed, his voice the same as always as he said: “Listening to the opinions of the common residents is something I should do as Commander in Chief of the Three Armies and Prince Regent.”
“You are a lawful resident of the Empire. If you have an opinion, I will listen and take the useful parts.”
When people are speechless, they laugh. When monsters are speechless, they also laugh.
Jiang Tea Tea let out a speechless laugh and threatened him: “Just you wait. I am only feeling unwell recently and have not recovered yet. Once my body recovers, you will be the first one I kill.”
Chong Ming raised an eyebrow and said: “So you can kill me sooner, how about I find you a healer to take a look at you?”
Jiang Tea Tea refused: “No need. I am afraid you will send me to Director Li.”
She was afraid of Li Ao’s Supernatural Abilities Research Institute.
Afraid of ending up like Cheng Yuan, who had stayed in the Supernatural Abilities Institute for ten years.
Chong Ming was silent for a moment, then suggested: “If you are afraid that I will send you to Director Li, you can have your teacher, Old Jin, give you a checkup, or your schoolmate Cheng Lin Yue, or her uncle Cheng Yuan.”
“After the check, just show me your health report.”
Wait, wait!
Jiang Tea Tea suddenly realized that he seemed to not know she was pregnant and that she was the one who had slept with him at First Hotel.
[That means that when he sent her messages, told her to come over, and threatened her, he had just been trying to bluff her?]
Jiang Tea Tea changed her expression faster than flipping a page and said: “I will take my roommate and leave the Imperial Military Headquarters right now to find Cheng Lin Yue and her uncle?”
Chong Ming clearly sensed her joy and opened his mouth to pour a bucket of cold water right over her as he said: “The matter between you and me at First Hotel is not settled yet. There is no need to rush off to find Cheng Lin Yue and her uncle.”
Jiang Tea Tea’s happy mood dropped straight to rock bottom. She choked with anger: “You…”
Chong Ming took in every change in her expression, which put him in a good mood. His low voice softened a little as he said: “Schoolmate Sui Xuan Chu, take your roommate to my office. I will give you fifteen minutes to match your stories.”
“I hope you can use those fifteen minutes to make your stories flawless and convince me, so you will not disappoint me.”
