Chapter 139: After the Fight We Talk About Registering Our Marriage, This Is Way Too Ridiculous
Asais’s attendant official Aote blurted out in a rush: “Commander in Chief Chong Ming, your person has gone mad. She is provoking war between our two nations, and you just let her do whatever she wants?”
Facing several of Asais’s attendants, Chong Ming did not move at all. His expression did not change. His deep voice reminded them coolly, “Do what? My person is having a friendly exchange with Her Highness Asais.”
“Your Insectoid Race isn’t so petty that you won’t even allow a friendly exchange, right? If you really are, then I’ll have someone call the Second Princess, Third Princess, Fifth Princess, and Sixth Princess of the Insectoid Race.”
Aote’s chest rose and fell with anger. His eyes turned into compound bug eyes. His heart ached for their Crown Princess Heir, and he was extremely anxious.
But he still did not dare move carelessly. If the Crown Princess Heir died in Zhenlin Empire, then the Insectoid Race would fall into chaos fighting over the position of Crown Princess Heir. There would be no way to send troops to avenge her.
As for them, the attendants who followed her here, once they returned to the Insectoid Race, they would be buried with her for failing to protect their master.
Asais’s hands changed into bug claws, and she clawed toward Jiang Tea Tea’s belly.
Jiang Tea Tea bent her body in a sharp arc and dodged the bug claws. Then with a loud crash, she slammed Asais down onto the floor.
She lifted one foot and stomped down on Asais’s bug claw, grinding it under her heel. With a crack, Asais’s claw bone snapped.
“Ah!”
Asais cried out in pain.
Her attendant official and attendants wanted to rush forward, but Chong Ming’s golden eyes slanted toward them, sharp as blades, and they froze in place.
Jiang Tea Tea stood on Asais’s broken bug claw and spoke: “Your Highness Asais, I admit I’m excellent, and everyone wants to have me.”
“But if you keep thinking about owning me and can’t get me, this is what will happen to you. Next time any of your bugs come around and get in my way, I won’t just smash your head into a table and break your claws. I’ll take your head.”
“And don’t tell me I don’t dare. You can’t even beat me. Everything you have is only because your status is noble.”
She had thought that even if the Insectoid Race Crown Princess Heir couldn’t fight as well as that old loach Chong Ming, she would at least not be too far behind him.
She really had not expected this. As a demon with three layers of spiritual power, she could casually grab her by the neck and smash her into the conference table.
Her reaction time and speed-type ability were both unbelievably slow, like she had never trained before, like she had regressed.
Asais glared at Jiang Tea Tea, not like she was looking at a living person, but at a dead one, as if silently telling her that she would kill her one day and pay her back for today’s humiliation.
Jiang Tea Tea stared right back. Before lifting her foot from the broken claw, she stomped hard one more time.
As she wished, another scream of pain burst out of Asais’s mouth. A dignified Crown Princess Heir looking this pathetic was really rare.
Jiang Tea Tea turned to Chong Ming: “I’ll leave the rest to you. I’m going out to find my roommate and chat for a bit.”
Chong Ming nodded: “Alright.”
Jiang Tea Tea swaggered out of the conference room, completely unbothered.
Aote and the other attendants rushed over to Asais and carefully helped her up. Their worry and distress were almost overflowing from their eyes.
Asais glared at Chong Ming and accused him: “Chong Ming, you’ve gone too far. What does it have to do with me that your Royal Imperial Academies were invaded by bug clan members?”
“You let Jiang Tea Tea hurt me and ignore the friendship between our two nations. Aren’t you afraid I’ll report to the Empress Mother and have her throw Zhenlin Empire back into a war full of death and misery?”
Chong Ming pulled back his gaze from Jiang Tea Tea’s back and turned to look at Asais: “There’s an old saying among the human race. Dogs that bite don’t bark. Dogs that bark don’t bite.”
“Your Highness Asais, if you really could convince your Empress Mother to start another war against Zhenlin Empire, you wouldn’t have crossed several major star systems to come here personally and pick up the First Imperial Prince Aceras.”
“You…”
Chong Ming paused for a moment, then his deep voice pressed over her gritted teeth: “I’ve told you these things countless times. I’ve reminded you of your situation countless times, but it seems you don’t care at all and never take it to heart.”
“What you care about and remember clearly is finding my partner, finding my youngling, and then my nephew, and capturing all three of them to use them to threaten me.”
“Your Highness Asais, I have to say, that way of thinking and acting is pure wishful thinking and childish.”
Asais’s heart skipped a beat. For a moment, it felt like the pain in her claw and the pain in her head were gone.
This stinky loach Chong Ming knew about all her actions and had everything under his control.
In other words, he had already known when Wang Die and the others went to the Royal Military Imperial Academies to look for their Crown Prince. He had been waiting for them to show up, ready to grab them, dig out their hearts, and kill them.
Asais opened her mouth and flatly denied it: “Commander in Chief Chong Ming, there are countless trillions more bug clan members than people in Zhenlin Empire.”
“I don’t know who was sent here or who is interested in your partner, your youngling, and your nephew, but you can’t put this on me.”
“This time I came only to make friends with you and to bring my Imperial Elder Brother back. I’m not interested in anything else and I won’t do anything else.”
Chong Ming raised a brow: “Is that so?”
Asais answered firmly: “Of course.”
Chong Ming said, “You’ll be going back to the Insectoid Race in four days. Before, you promised to give me one star system. I think that’s too little.”
“Add a bit more to the deal, and in four days I’ll let you take the First Imperial Prince away safe and sound.”
“If you don’t add anything, you’ll be going back alone. As for what will be waiting for you there, only the Beast God knows.”
Asais ground her teeth: “You’re pushing your luck and raising the price on the spot.”
Chong Ming corrected her: “This is called an open robbery. Whether you give it or not, tell me your answer in four days.”
“Right now it’s very late. I don’t have time to stand here watching you covered in blood, twisted and crazy, with none of the grace of a royal heir apparent.”
Asais wanted nothing more than to tear him apart, but she was on his turf and could not defeat him. She was completely suppressed.
She could only watch as Chong Ming walked out of the huge conference room like he was taking a casual stroll. His attendants followed behind in a grand line, as if they were mocking her, this foreign Crown Princess Heir.
Jiang Tea Tea and Sui Xuan Chu had been chatting happily. When they saw Chong Ming come out, they both fell silent at once. Their bodies straightened, and they followed behind him.
They boarded the flying device from the top floor of the hotel. Fighter craft flew in front, and the personal guard squad followed along. In the dark of night, they crossed the sky like scattered stars.
Jiang Tea Tea and Sui Xuan Chu sat opposite Chong Ming.
The flying device was very spacious and luxurious inside.
As soon as he sat down, Chong Ming took out his light-brain wrist terminal tablet and started looking at it.
Next to his uncle, Sui Xuan Chu looked like a little weak chick. All his usual wildness and bright, bold air were gone. His legs were pressed together, his back straight, his hands on his knees, like a preschool student waiting for a little red flower sticker.
In contrast, Jiang Tea Tea was relaxed and lazy, as if she were riding in her own flying device, looking up and down and all around.
After she looked around once, she suddenly made a sound: “Hey, roommate, this doesn’t look like the route back to the Royal Military Imperial Academies. Take a look.”
Sui Xuan Chu swallowed nervously without even realizing it. He turned his head to look out of the flying device. After watching for a long moment, he said, “Yeah, it really isn’t the route back to the Royal Military Imperial Academies. It’s the route to the Imperial Palace.”
Jiang Tea Tea straightened up and looked at Chong Ming sitting across from her: “Chong Ming, you’re not sending us back to the academy. Why are you taking us to the Imperial Palace?”
Chong Ming lifted his eyes from the light-brain wrist terminal on his lap and looked at Jiang Tea Tea: “Two days ago at the Imperial Military Headquarters, you agreed to let Cheng Lin Yue and her uncle, Cheng Yuan, examine your body.”
“Cheng Yuan arrived on the capital planet today and is now at the Imperial Palace. I’ve already sent people to pick up Cheng Lin Yue.”
“It’s better to do it today than pick another day. While we have the chance tonight, we’ll give you a full check-up and see what nutrients your belly’s youngling and you yourself are lacking. Then we can make a proper plan and give you targeted supplements.”
All of Jiang Tea Tea’s inner alarms went off. If they examined her, wouldn’t he find out how many cubs she was carrying? What if he started to feel that he didn’t have enough cubs, got jealous, and started eyeing hers?
Chong Ming saw every bit of her sudden nervousness and once again gave her his assurance: “I only want to know whether your body is healthy and whether the youngling in your belly can live for ten to fifteen months.”
“If the youngling can live in good health, it will be yours. I won’t fight you for it or try to snatch it away. You don’t need to guard against me. I only want to do my duty as a royal father.”
“Of course, if you want me to take responsibility and are willing to register our marriage, then after the examination I can have people from the Marriage Registration Center come over and work overtime. We can register our marriage tonight.”
