Chapter 125: Commander in Chief, You Kicked My Sister Tea’s Belly And Made Her Angry, Do You Want To Kill The Youngling
After listening, Jiang Tea Tea answered Chong Ming with cold sarcasm and a strange tone: “So after testing me for so long, you still blame me for baring my teeth at you and playing tricks?”
“This really is just like you, the Three Armies Commander in Chief and Prince Regent Lord Chong Ming. You get to say all the good and bad lines by yourself. Should I kneel in front of you and shout, thank you for appreciating me and thinking so highly of me?”
[Trust him, yeah right. She was a demon, not a female of this world.]
[The magic spells and spell incantations she knew, if converted into this era of supernatural abilities and interstellar space, made her an all-round player.]
[He was a top leader who lived only for the Empire. She did not believe that, if he knew all her abilities, he would not be moved and would not want to study her.]
Chong Ming’s golden eyes sank. “I said so much, and all you heard were the words ‘baring your teeth’ and ‘playing tricks’? You did not take in a single other word, and you do not believe even one word?”
Jiang Tea Tea twisted her wrist. “If you want me to believe you, let me go and stay away from me.”
Chong Ming opened his mouth and poked right at her thoughts: “You want to run?”
In front of this one hundred and fifty year old Old Mud loach, she, a Great Demon Stage demon, looked like a rookie recruit.
Jiang Tea Tea admitted bluntly in a harsh tone, “Yes, I want to leave here. I do not want to see you. So what?”
Chong Ming did not release her. Instead he pressed down even harder. His voice stayed calm and very patient as he said, “Leaving here will not solve the problem. You not believing what I say means you do not believe in what kind of person I am.”
“That is alright. I can go think it over and reflect on myself, figure out where I am not worthy of your trust or belief.”
“But the youngling in your belly…”
Jiang Tea Tea cut him off without mercy: “The youngling in my belly has nothing to do with you. Do not put yourself into this and act like you care about my baby.”
Chong Ming pressed one of her wrists with his hand and propped the other hand on the sofa. Her other hand lay across her belly. Sitting in this position, he could not see any roundness of her belly at all. She did not look like someone who was less than seven months along.
If he had not tricked her today, then based only on her behavior these last few days, he would have suspected she was the female who spent one night with him at the First Hotel, but he would not have suspected she had a dragon egg. He knew better than anyone how hard it was for the golden dragon Imperial Clan to reproduce.
Chong Ming took a step back. “Fine, I am not after your baby, but a Dragon Clan youngling needs comfort from its father’s supernatural abilities and spiritual power…”
Jiang Tea Tea’s mouth stayed stubborn. “You are not its father. Why should you worry about this for nothing?”
Chong Ming’s brows drew together slightly. His voice was low and calm as he stated like a simple fact, “Jiang Tea Tea, you binge eat because the youngling has not received comfort from its father’s supernatural abilities and spiritual power. Your craving for my dragon blood is for the same reason…”
Jiang Tea Tea cut him off again: “Commander in Chief Chong Ming, you are so sure that the one who spent the night with you at the First Hotel was me and that the youngling I carry is yours. Do you need me to remind you how hard you kicked me at the Imperial Military Academies?”
Chong Ming’s heart suddenly shook. He, who had always stayed calm and in control, lost his composure, and his stern face changed color.
Jiang Tea Tea finally won a round. She used this chance to pull free from him, escape his hold, get up from the sofa, and move away from him.
Just then, a few urgent knocks sounded on the door.
Chong Ming came back to himself and slowly straightened up. His gaze swept over Jiang Tea Tea’s face and her belly, then moved to the door.
The door opened a crack and Sui Xuan Chu stuck his head in: “Commander in Chief Chong Ming, my schoolmate Cheng Lin Yue has something urgent to report to you about my roommate Jiang Tea Tea’s physical condition. I took it upon myself to have someone bring her over. What do you think?”
As soon as Chong Ming heard it was about Jiang Tea Tea’s health, he said, “Let her in.”
Sui Xuan Chu pulled the door open at his words. Cheng Lin Yue walked in from outside, nervous, uneasy, scared, and shaking.
But the moment she saw Jiang Tea Tea, all her fear and shaking vanished. She quickly ran toward her: “Sister Tea, are you alright?”
Jiang Tea Tea’s hair was messy, her eyes were red, and her face was pale.
[Oh my, she must have suffered a lot here because of the youngling.]
Jiang Tea Tea shook her head at her: “I am fine…”
Cheng Lin Yue grabbed her hand and placed her fingers on her pulse, asking anxiously, “How can you be fine? You clearly are not. Are you feeling unwell, is your belly hurting?”
Jiang Tea Tea met her worried eyes and hesitated for a moment: “I am not feeling well…”
That was exactly the sentence Cheng Lin Yue had been waiting for. She immediately let go of her hand, turned around to face Chong Ming, and started crying with tears and snot: “Commander in Chief Chong Ming, my Sister Tea awakened her supernatural abilities late to begin with, and her body has always been weak.”
“Not even seven months ago, you kicked her once at the Imperial Military Academies. After that, not only did her belly keep hurting and hurting, it also bled. Later at the Supremacy Tournament of the thirty Military Academies, her adoptive parents’ cheap older son Jiang Yi Cheng punched her belly with his fist.”
“That kick and that punch in a row made her already weak belly even worse. On top of that, after the Supremacy Tournament, the heavy course load for three months without rest only made it harder. She had to grit her teeth to keep performing well.”
“My medical arts are shallow and my healing is not good, but she has taken great care of me. She helped me overcome my mental block so I am no longer socially anxious and helped me improve my studies.”
“She also helped my uncle Cheng Yuan beat up the Supernatural Abilities Research Institute’s director Li Yu. She has been kind to my family. I beg you, Marshal, for the sake of her belly not feeling well, please let her go and let her keep a happy mood.”
Jiang Tea Tea’s mind went blank. [!!!!]
[The little rabbit had come to save her.]
[Who taught her that long string of lines? It was really high level!]
Chong Ming’s gaze passed over Cheng Lin Yue and landed on Jiang Tea Tea. After a long moment he asked, “The youngling in her belly is in bad shape?”
Cheng Lin Yue hurriedly nodded. “Bad, very bad. It has not even formed a shell. Whether it can survive ten to fifteen months is still a problem.”
Jiang Tea Tea fell silent. […]
[Someone not only taught this timid little rabbit what to say but also taught her very professional knowledge.]
[Who was it, who in such a short time turned the little rabbit into someone who could lie without even blushing!]
Chong Ming’s breathing paused slightly. “I will find a healer…”
“She is the best healer.” Cheng Lin Yue was so scared her courage was about to break, but she still pointed at Jiang Tea Tea and cut off the words of the idol she adored, reminding him, “Commander in Chief, Sister Tea is the best and most outstanding healer in the whole Empire and even all of interstellar space.”
“Even she herself is not sure about this. How could any other healer have the skill to treat her? What if some healer like the Supernatural Abilities Research Institute’s director Li Ao sees that the baby in her belly has no egg shell and treats her as a rare specimen, studies her, and dissects her?”
Chong Ming’s fingertips trembled slightly and then clenched tight. His eyes fixed on Jiang Tea Tea: “So this is what you were afraid of.”
Jiang Tea Tea lowered her eyes and did not meet his gaze, looking very much like she was silently admitting his question and his guess.
“Commander in Chief.” Cheng Lin Yue moved to the side and blocked in front of Jiang Tea Tea again. She spoke once more: “Sister Tea’s body and the youngling in her belly have always been watched over by just the two of us.”
“Now I beg you, Commander in Chief, let me take her away. She cannot have big emotional swings. She needs a joyful space.”
“She… she gets nervous easily when she is with you. That is very bad for both her and the youngling in her belly.”
Chong Ming frowned as he listened and stepped forward. Cheng Lin Yue backed up in fear, her whole body shaking, but she still blocked the way in front of Jiang Tea Tea.
Chong Ming spoke: “Schoolmate Cheng Lin Yue, I have two things to say to Jiang Tea Tea. Please step aside a little.”
Cheng Lin Yue looked at Jiang Tea Tea without thinking, as if as long as Jiang said “do not let him”, she would refuse to move no matter what.
Jiang Tea Tea gave her a small nod.
Only then did Cheng Lin Yue move to the side a little. She was scared, so scared!
Chong Ming stood in front of Jiang Tea Tea, looking down at her with lowered eyes. “I am sorry. I meant no harm. I only wanted to find you. I never thought you would have a youngling, and I never thought that one kick of mine would make my child…”
Jiang Tea Tea cut him off, correcting and reminding him: “Mine. The babies in my belly are mine, not yours.”
Chong Ming gave ground in his words. “Alright, it is yours. Do not get worked up.”
Jiang Tea Tea used the chance to bargain: “If you want me to calm down, do not let me see you. I want to leave here.”
Chong Ming soothed her and agreed, “Alright, I will let you leave here.”
Jiang Tea Tea’s eyes lit up at once. “You will really let me leave? You are not lying to me?”
Chong Ming nodded. “Yes, you can leave together with your schoolmate, but I need a full-body examination report from you.”
Jiang Tea Tea’s bright eyes turned fierce. “Are you after the youngling in my belly, or are you set on dissecting me? Just say it straight. Why go around in such a big circle?”
Facing her fierce questioning, Chong Ming’s deep serious voice softened again and again. He chose his words with care: “I am not after the youngling in your belly, and I will never allow anyone to dissect you. I want your full-body examination report only to know if you are healthy and if the youngling is healthy.”
“Do not be afraid. You are carrying a golden Dragon Clan Royal Household youngling. I will grant you special privileges. In the Zhenlin Empire, including me, no one can hurt you!”
