Chapter 126
Chapter 126: I Want a Wife and a Youngling, But My Wife Hates Looking at Me
“Yes, yes, that is fine, Commander in Chief.”
Jiang Tea Tea, a demon plant from the M31 Star System who totally lacked common sense, did not understand how wide the special privileges in Chong Ming’s mouth could reach. She was about to ask, but Cheng Lin Yue spoke first and agreed for her.
“You want my Sister Tea’s full-body examination report. In two days my uncle will come over. When he is here, the two of us will examine her together. After we finish the checkup, we will give the report to you. Is that alright?”
Chong Ming’s golden eyes rested on Jiang Tea Tea. He asked: “What do you say, Jiang Tea Tea?”
Jiang Tea Tea glanced at Cheng Lin Yue.
Cheng Lin Yue nodded hard at her, urging her to agree.
Jiang Tea Tea answered: “We will do as you said. I am going back to the Academy now.”
Chong Ming stopped her: “Wait a moment.”
Jiang Tea Tea instantly became alert: “What now?”
She watched him step back a few paces, turn, and walk into the small rest room attached to the office. When he came out again, he was holding a paper bag.
He handed the paper bag to Jiang Tea Tea: “Here. Your performance in your studies these past three months has been excellent. This is your supply for the next three months. Since your performance was so good, I added three more bottles.”
Suspicious, Jiang Tea Tea took it and looked inside. The paper bag held six bottles of dragon blood.
She flipped her hand and put the dragon blood into her space knob storage device: “Thanks.”
Chong Ming gave a small nod: “Go.”
Jiang Tea Tea’s flying device was already parked in his office. When she left, she did not even need to step out of his office. She went straight onto the flying device.
The large glass window opened. The flying device slid out and flew into the sky.
“Hey, hey, hey, what about me? I haven’t gotten on yet! You two heartless females, you left me behind!”
Sui Xuan Chu rushed in and waved at the flying device, looking exactly like a little pitiful thing someone had thrown away. He shouted and cursed at the flying device as it flew farther and farther away.
The flying device that was disappearing into the distance could not hear Sui Xuan Chu’s shouting or cursing at all. In a short while, even its shadow could no longer be seen.
Sui Xuan Chu slowly turned around. He looked at his uncle, who was in full military uniform, tall and straight, hands clasped behind his back, standing in front of the window. The wind blew his golden hair so it floated behind him.
Sui Xuan Chu gave a small cough and asked: “Imperial Uncle, the cub in my roommate’s belly is…”
Chong Ming gave a short, shocking answer: “Mine.”
Sui Xuan Chu got a direct confirmation from his own uncle. He was both shocked and excited: “So that means I am going to have a younger sister or a younger brother?”
“Beast God above, Grandpa and Grandma, Dad and Mom, please bless us. Our Golden Dragon Royal Household finally won’t only have the two of us. There will be a fresh younger brother or younger sister. This is so great, so amazing.”
“Uncle, Uncle, Uncle, can I apply that when my younger sister or younger brother is born, I will be the one to hatch…”
He had not even finished the word “hatch” when Sui Xuan Chu suddenly remembered something. His voice stopped at once, and the next second he bounced to stand right in front of his uncle.
“Uncle, the youngling in my roommate’s belly doesn’t seem very good.”
Chong Ming’s gaze snapped back at once. His golden eyes turned sharp as he looked at Sui Xuan Chu: “What do you know?”
Sui Xuan Chu shivered at his uncle’s eyes. He opened his mouth and sold Jiang Tea Tea out without a second of hesitation, just like Jiang Tea Tea had sold him out before.
“Today my roommate told me to come save her and told me to come take the blame. She had me touch her belly.”
“When my hand was on her belly, the feeling of the little brat nudging my hand did not feel like a round dragon egg laid for hatching. It felt more like a live-birth cub.”
The sharp golden eyes in Chong Ming’s face darkened. He lowered his gaze to his own boots.
If he counted the days, when he kicked her that time, she had been in her conception period.
“Uncle.”
When Sui Xuan Chu saw his Imperial Uncle stay silent, his eyes down, he called out in a small voice and asked: “Do you think the cub in my roommate’s belly not having an eggshell is because of your kick, plus that punch Jiang Yi Cheng gave her belly?”
Chong Ming slowly lifted his eyelids and looked at Sui Xuan Chu. His low voice spat out one word: “Yes.”
On normal days, that kick of his would not count as heavy. But for a female in her conception period, that kick had been especially heavy. The youngling was still alive and still there. That was a miracle among miracles.
Sui Xuan Chu asked again: “Has Jiang Yi Cheng been sentenced?”
Chong Ming answered: “The process is under way.”
Sui Xuan Chu hesitated, then asked: “Imperial Uncle, the one in my roommate’s belly is your cub and belongs to the Golden Dragon Imperial Clan.”
“Jiang Yi Cheng colluded with the Insectoid Race and tried to catch me. That already counts as betrayal of the country, a serious crime, and he should be executed by firing squad. He also punched my roommate’s belly. Does that also count as intentional harm to the Golden Dragon Imperial Clan, adding another level to his crimes? So instead of one bullet for the firing squad, he should get two bullets?”
Chong Ming nodded: “Fine. Give him two bullets.”
Sui Xuan Chu smiled at once: “I will thank you on behalf of my roommate, Uncle.”
Chong Ming’s thin lips moved. His voice came out hoarse: “I kicked her too.”
Sui Xuan Chu took the blame: “Blame me, not you. Uncle, you came to the Royal Military Imperial Academy to inspect. I was the one who told her that if she kicked you once, she could enter any Army Corps she wanted. I was the one who tempted her to kick you.”
He was the real culprit. He had let down his future younger brother or younger sister. He was a big bad guy.
[Beast God above, Grandpa and Grandma, Dad and Mom, please bless my younger brother or younger sister. Please let them be alright.]
Chong Ming saw how guilty he looked and said: “It has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to take responsibility.”
Sui Xuan Chu leaned closer and asked: “Uncle, my roommate is pregnant with your youngling, pregnant with my younger brother or younger sister. Do you plan to only want the youngling, or do you plan to want my roommate together with the youngling?”
Chong Ming’s golden eyes flashed. His voice was very hoarse as he spoke: “Your roommate, Jiang Tea Tea, cares a lot about the youngling in her belly and treats me like poison. I want both the youngling and her. It will be a long and hard road.”
[So Uncle says it will be a long and hard road. Does that mean he likes my roommate?]
[A 150-year-old old bachelor dragon has finally opened up. He won’t stay single and lonely until he dies.]
Sui Xuan Chu straightened his back at once: “Alright, Uncle, then I will go chase my roommate and at the same time tell her that Jiang Yi Cheng is going to be fed two peanuts, I mean two bullets.”
Chong Ming nodded and reminded him: “Keep an eye on her. You don’t need to be too obvious. Just see what she needs, then call me.”
“Yes, Commander in Chief. I will complete the mission.”
After he finished speaking, Sui Xuan Chu took a flying device out of his space knob storage device. Rarely bold, he opened the flying device’s door, sat in it, and flew out directly from his uncle’s office.
Jiang Tea Tea set the flying device to autopilot. She watched Cheng Lin Yue pull all kinds of strange shielding devices out of her space knob storage device, things Jiang Tea Tea had never seen before, and place them inside the flying device and outside it.
Her movements were fast. The number of items was huge, and the layout was complicated. It made Jiang Tea Tea, a mighty Great Demon Stage, sigh in admiration. She could not help but speak first: “Little Rabbit, can all these shielding devices you pulled out block the three satellites and surveillance systems above my head?”
After Cheng Lin Yue finished placing all the shielding devices and turned them on, she turned around to look at Jiang Tea Tea and answered firmly: “They can. All these shielding devices were rushed over to me by my uncle from Changsheng Star before I came to the Imperial Military Headquarters. They are not sold on the market. They are more advanced than the ones used by the Imperial Military Headquarters itself.”
Jiang Tea Tea was very confused: “More advanced than what the Imperial Military Headquarters uses? Where did your uncle even get them?”
Cheng Lin Yue did not hide it: “He researched them himself.”
Jiang Tea Tea let out a small sound of surprise: “Didn’t you say your uncle is a healing master and a black doctor? How is he also jumping over to study military engineering?”
Cheng Lin Yue nodded: “Yes, yes. He is a healing master and a black doctor, and on the side he also researches some little military gadgets.”
“For example, sound shielding devices, signal shielding devices, heat barrier devices, and other kinds of shielding devices. He also tinkers with mini robots.”
“You really have no basic common sense. People who study medicine, no matter what they switch to, learn very fast and become very good at it.”
Jiang Tea Tea, like an ignorant Great Demon Stage, said: “Wow, your uncle is super amazing.”
Cheng Lin Yue waved her hand: “He is not amazing, not amazing. If he was really amazing, he would not have been stuck at the Supernatural Abilities Research Institute for ten years.”
Jiang Tea Tea asked right away: “Alright. You came to the Imperial Military Headquarters to find me. Those things you said to Chong Ming, were they all taught to you by your uncle?”
Cheng Lin Yue nodded again and again: “Yes. I sent him the video you forwarded to me of you beating up the director of the Supernatural Abilities Research Institute, Li Ao.”
“After he watched it, he called me and asked if you were hurt. He wanted to thank you. My brain glitched, and I told him about you being pregnant with a youngling.”
“I did not mean to tell him. You did not want the pregnancy in your belly to be exposed, and yet you came to the Imperial Military Headquarters. I was really scared that something would happen to you, that something would happen to the youngling in your belly.”
“I told him that I wanted to save you and did not want you to get hurt. He gave me ideas, so I came. When I came, I saw you all dirty and beat up. I was scared to death. I was so afraid something had happened to you.”
Jiang Tea Tea saw how flustered she was and comforted her: “I am fine, I am fine. You came very quickly. You saved me in time.”
Cheng Lin Yue’s eyes opened wide: “Really, I really helped you?”
Jiang Tea Tea nodded: “You did help me.”
“That is good then.” Cheng Lin Yue smiled right away. The next second, her face fell again: “But Sister Tea, my uncle said that the Golden Dragon Imperial Clan has very few children. You are pregnant with the Golden Dragon Imperial Clan’s youngling. After it is born, you probably will not be able to keep it. Commander in Chief Chong Ming will bring them back to the Royal Household.”
Jiang Tea Tea’s face sank: “The little brats are mine. Why should I give them to him?”
That old mud loach did not even know how many cubs were in her belly.
He only knew about one cub.
She would not give him even one.
After she finished her contract with the fake young miss, she was going to take her cubs back to the Demon Clan and be a domineering, flashy Great Demon Stage.
Cheng Lin Yue reminded her in a weak voice: “Because Commander in Chief Chong Ming is the little brats’ dad, and because he is the Commander in Chief of the Three Armies of the Zhenlin Empire, the Prince Regent, and the top leader standing at the peak.”
“I said in front of him that your health was not good and that the youngling was unhealthy. I also mentioned the kick he gave you and made him feel guilty so he would let you go. Otherwise, with how precious a Golden Dragon Imperial Clan youngling is, there is no way you would have been able to leave the Imperial Military Headquarters today.”
What she said was right.
Looking at that old mud loach’s attitude, he clearly did not want her to leave.
He really wanted to confirm if the youngling in her belly was safe or not.
That jerk found it hard to reproduce himself, so he set his eyes on other people’s cubs.
He really did not want his dragon face.
Jiang Tea Tea laid her hand over her belly and felt how lively the cubs were. She said each word clearly: “No matter what his identity is, no matter how powerful he is, the little brats are mine. No one is taking them away from me.”
Cheng Lin Yue admired her bright, bold dominance, but she still could not help reminding her: “Sister Tea, you are very strong. He is even stronger. Right now he probably does not know how many cubs you have in your belly.”
“If you really don’t want to give all the cubs to him, when my uncle comes, we can fake a full-body examination report for you and change it so it looks like you only have one cub. Later we can think of other plans…”
“Aiya, think about what? In the M31 Star System, Commander in Chief Chong Ming holds great power and stands at the top of the tower. He has countless capable people around him. With a single word, countless people will work for him. If you want to hide a youngling from him, you simply cannot.”
“A Golden Dragon Clan youngling is not like other Dragon Clan younglings. A Golden Dragon Clan youngling is born a king. Once it turns into its beast form, no matter where it stands, once its dragon might spreads out, all beasts will drop to the ground and bow.”
Cheng Lin Yue was really worried to the point of going bald. She felt her brain was not enough. Nothing worked. No plan worked. She could not help Sister Tea at all.
Jiang Tea Tea saw her tugging at her hair and quickly comforted her: “Don’t worry. When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight. Right now the cubs are in my belly. I have the final say.”
“And also, didn’t you say your uncle is very skilled in all kinds of medical arts? When he comes, we will work together and slowly talk it over.”
Exactly because Golden Dragon Royal Household younglings were so rare, that old mud loach Chong Ming would not act rashly. She still had plenty of time.
Cheng Lin Yue thought about it and nodded: “That is the only way.”
Jiang Tea Tea reached out and patted her shoulder: “Cheng Lin Yue, thank you for coming all alone to the Imperial Military Headquarters to save me.”
Cheng Lin Yue gave a shy smile: “You are welcome. We are good friends, good schoolmates, good teammates. This is what I should do.”
Compared to Sister Tea’s loyalty, helping her raise her supernatural ability rank and helping her uncle beat Li Ao, what she did today was nothing.
Jiang Tea Tea smiled back and took Cheng Lin Yue with her back to the Academy.
The flying device stopped at the Academy gate.
Sui Xuan Chu had arrived at the Academy before them. When he saw the two of them get off the flying device, he whistled at them like a rogue: “Two cute and beautiful little females, I wonder if I have the honor of being your escort and guarding you on your way back to the dorm?”
Jiang Tea Tea and Cheng Lin Yue looked at him and said in unison: “Rejected, you ugly thing!”
Sui Xuan Chu had just struck what he thought was a super handsome pose. When he heard their “ugly rejection,” he almost lost his balance. His face changed, and he walked toward them pretending to be fierce, looking like he was going to beat them up.
“Who are you calling ugly? You two better make it clear, or I will knock you both into the sky.”
“You better not. You are not allowed to hit my big sister.”
A fourteen or fifteen-year-old young girl rushed out and stood in front of Jiang Tea Tea, reaching out to push Sui Xuan Chu.
Sui Xuan Chu turned his body to the side and dodged the young girl’s hand. In one flash, he moved to stand beside Jiang Tea Tea.
The young girl turned around in a hurry and shouted to Jiang Tea Tea: “Big sister, come here quick. Stay away from that man. He is a bad person who wants to hit you.”
Jiang Tea Tea narrowed her eyes at the young girl.
This was Jiang Yi Bao, the youngest daughter of the fake young miss’s adoptive parents, an A-level water element ability user.
According to the fake young miss’s memories, this young girl was not an easy one either. She had awakened an A-level water element ability and came from a rich family, so she had been very arrogant since she was little.
After the true young lady came back and the fake young miss was ignored, the fake young miss once tried to borrow money from the young girl. Not only did the young girl refuse, she scolded her too, saying a fake was a fake. She had enjoyed more than ten years of good days and still was not satisfied. She even wanted to ask a child for money. She had no shame.
Jiang Tea Tea curled her lips and said to Jiang Yi Bao: “Little girl, who are you calling big sister? You must have mistaken me for someone else. I am the orphan the Jiang Family picked up by mistake and almost sold. I have no parents and no younger sister.”
Because Chong Ming had ordered people to investigate the Jiang Family, they not only found that the Jiang Family had tried to sell Jiang Tea Tea for huge profits, they also found tax evasion and cheating on taxes.
On top of that, the son and daughter of the Jiang Family, Jiang Yi Zhu and Jiang Yi Cheng, had each committed big crimes. One released an aberrant beast into the Academy, framed someone, and tried to murder Commander in Chief Chong Ming. The other betrayed the country, colluded with the Insectoid Race, and tried to kidnap the Crown Prince.
All four members of the family were being punished for many crimes at once. They not only had to face huge fines and pay back huge amounts of taxes, they also had to compensate Jiang Tea Tea.
Every bit of value in the house had to be used to pay. They had no property left at all.
Jiang Yi Bao went to a closed noble Academy and had already paid one year of tuition. When she went home for vacation, she found that her house was gone and the money was gone.
The only one still living well was Jiang Tea Tea. On her way to find Jiang Tea Tea, she had seen on StarNet that her eldest brother Jiang Yi Cheng had received one more charge: harming a Golden Dragon Imperial Clan youngling.
The Supreme Judiciary had made a public announcement that the legal process would be simplified and that he would be executed by firing squad tomorrow at noon at 12 o’clock.
Facing Jiang Tea Tea’s cold refusal and reminder, Jiang Yi Bao’s tears fell at once: “Big sister, you are my big sister. How could I mistake you?”
“Dad and Mom are going to be sent to life exile. Big sister and eldest brother are going to be executed tomorrow. I only have you left, big sister. You can’t ignore me.”
