Chapter 194: Sister Tea, go beat the two of them up, they want us dead
Zhong Li He lifted his eyelids. His sapphire blue eyes looked at Kong Que as he asked a soul-deep question: “Kong Que, have you been dating someone behind my back?”
Kong Que could not keep up with his wild train of thought. His mind filled with big question marks and he blurted out: “What?”
Zhong Li He rubbed his chin and looked him up and down: “If you are not dating, if you do not have a partner, how are you so clear about what other people do in bed?”
“Oh, I know. You are in love, you found someone you like, but you do not dare tell me. You are afraid I will not be reasonable and will not approve your marriage registration, right?”
Kong Que was helpless. He answered with three quick denials: “Executive Commander, Lord, I am not, I did not, please do not talk nonsense.”
Zhong Li He reached out his hand like an old eldest brother, like an old elder. He patted Kong Que on the shoulder and spoke with deep feeling: “I understand, I understand, I get it. Do not worry. I cannot find the right person to date or marry. It is not because I am some psycho who will not allow my subordinates to date or get married.”
“As long as the person you like is not a traitor and not a criminal, you can like whoever you want. You can marry whoever you want. I will give special approval to your marriage application, and for your red envelope, I will give you a big one.”
Kong Que felt like someone had thrown a sack over his head and hit him hard. His head buzzed, and he could not fight back.
He took several deep breaths, forced out a proper smile, and respectfully replied: “Executive Commander, Lord, thank you for your expectations and your kindness. Let me state again: I do not have anyone I like, and I do not have anyone I plan to marry.”
“That wedding red envelope you are preparing for me, I will not need it. You can keep saving it slowly. Oh, right, you want to spar with Commander in Chief Chong Ming, right?”
“Okay, I will go to the command room now and talk to the captain. I will have him dock our ship with Commander in Chief Chong Ming’s ship. When the time comes, you can go straight over and spar with him. I believe with your supernatural abilities, you will beat him until he is rolling on the floor and kneeling to beg for mercy.”
[Go fight, go fight. Let the Executive Commander go fight Commander in Chief Chong Ming. If he does not get to fight, he will keep overthinking and drag me into it.]
The more Zhong Li He listened, the more wrong it sounded. Before he could open his mouth to stop him, Kong Que finished speaking and walked away.
He quickly shouted at his back: “Hey, hey, Kong Que, Kong Que, did you eat gunpowder today? Why are you talking so cold and sarcastic?”
“Come back, come back. You do not need to go to the command room to talk to the captain. Just send a message over the comms.”
Kong Que did not even turn his head, but his tone was still respectful: “Reporting to the Executive Commander, Lord, it is better if I go in person so nothing gets unclear.”
As a lieutenant general, he followed him almost all day long. Yet he still suspected him of secretly dating and planning to get married?
Who would he date? Who would he marry?
Who would like someone so busy his feet barely touched the ground?
This was just a joke.
Zhong Li He was quiet for a moment, then lifted his foot and followed him out the door.
He did not go to the command room to find the captain. Instead, he went ahead to the warship’s hatch. He would wait there so that when their ship docked with Chong Ming’s ship, he could go straight over.
On Chong Ming’s warship, the more than one thousand trainees who had been there earlier all heard that the Western Kingdom’s Executive Commander, Zhong Li He, would be coming soon to fight their Marshal. Everyone acted like they had been injected with chicken blood. Their backs did not hurt, their legs did not hurt, their spiritual power felt better, and it was as if their supernatural ability levels had gone up.
Even the ones in the Healing room with broken arms, broken legs, and broken ribs wanted to drag their half-crippled bodies over to watch the Commander in Chief and the Western Kingdom’s Executive Commander fight. If the Healing Department staff were not blocking them, they would have gone.
From the second Zhong Li He stepped onto the warship Chong Ming was on, he felt that the guards on the warship were looking at him in a strange way.
But when he looked at Ai, the deputy officer leading him in front, everything seemed normal again. There was nothing special.
As the Western Kingdom’s Executive Commander, he was outstanding among the outstanding in fighting skill, military ability, and ability level.
He trusted his instincts. He had been walking in front, but now he slowed half a step so he walked beside Kong Que. He spoke quietly: “Kong Que, do you feel like something is off?”
Kong Que turned his head to look at him and seriously reminded him: “Executive Commander, Lord, Commander in Chief Chong Ming called you over for a spar, to train physical skills and abilities. At most he will beat you up once. He will not kill you to silence you. Please relax.”
Zhong Li He: “…”
This peacock was really getting less and less cute.
He kind of missed him as a child.
Back then he had been fluffy like a little chick. So cute.
Now he could make someone die from anger.
On the biggest training ground on Chong Ming’s warship, everyone who was resting on the ship or had been training earlier and could still move had come. The place was packed with people.
When Ai, the deputy officer, led Zhong Li He over, Zhong Li He was startled by the huge crowd. Before he even reached Chong Ming, he saw the bite marks on Chong Ming’s Adam’s apple.
The fresh teeth marks still had tiny beads of blood. One look showed they had been bitten less than half an hour ago.
Zhong Li He let out a short laugh and joked: “Chong Ming, are your legs not weak, fighting me right now?”
Chong Ming gave him a sharp look and snapped back: “If your legs go weak and you cannot beat me, I will allow you to beg for mercy.”
Zhong Li He rolled up his sleeves: “What a joke. If I cannot beat you, I can beat ten of you.”
Chong Ming raised his brows: “Is that so? Then I must properly see how strong the Executive Commander, Lord, really is.”
As soon as Zhong Li He finished rolling his sleeves, he moved first. With lightning speed, he attacked straight for Chong Ming’s neck.
Chong Ming lightly dodged, grabbed his wrist, and used an easy leverage move to throw Zhong Li He away.
If it were an ordinary person, under that heavy grab and throw, you would hear a loud crash. But Zhong Li He was not ordinary. Right before he hit the ground, he tapped his foot, spun around, and rushed Chong Ming again.
Huang Da Zhuang was so excited he could not stand it: “Quick, quick, quick, Cheng Lin Yue, hurry and call Sister Tea over on the comms to watch the fight.”
“Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, the Commander in Chief and Executive Commander Zhong Li He are fighting so hard. We cannot even touch the edge of their clothes. Executive Commander Zhong Li He can even keep attacking again and again. He is too strong, too awesome.”
Cheng Xiao Ting and the others agreed: “Yeah, yeah. The two of them really are two of the strongest and most daring men in the whole M31 Star System. Look, they have not even used their supernatural abilities yet. Every punch hits flesh, every kick hits hard. So handsome, so cool. If Sister Tea were here, it would be perfect.”
“Yeah, yeah. I am kind of curious. If Sister Tea went up to fight with the two of them, would it turn into a three-way standoff?”
“Oh ho, I think you are looking up to Sister Tea too much. You want Sister Tea to come and fight together with the two of them?”
“No, no, no. Not to fight together with them. I mean Sister Tea comes as a third side, with her own group, and fights with them.”
“Have you never heard of fishing in troubled waters? When the two of them are fighting hard, if Sister Tea stirs things up between them, even if she cannot beat them, she can still make sure she never loses.”
“Hurry, hurry, go find Sister Tea, Cheng Lin Yue, go find Sister Tea…”
Cheng Lin Yue: “…”
Where was she supposed to find Sister Tea?
Looking at the wound on the Commander in Chief’s Adam’s apple, she now suspected that Sister Tea was resting in the Commander in Chief’s room, enjoying the comfort of the spiritual power he was releasing.
Cheng Lin Yue looked toward Sui Xuan Chu for help. Only the two of them knew the truth. She could not lie, so she let him do it.
Sui Xuan Chu met her gaze, opened his light-brain wrist terminal, and pretended to check something. Then he answered Huang Da Zhuang and the others: “Your Sister Tea is busy in the Healing Department right now and cannot come over. We will just watch and learn on our own.”
Cheng Lin Yue was surprised. Would Huang Da Zhuang, Cheng Xiao Ting, and the others really believe such a lie that looked like it would burst with one poke?
To her shock, Huang Da Zhuang, Cheng Xiao Ting, and the others not only believed it, they even felt sorry: “All right. It is Sister Tea’s loss that she did not come this time. Let us remember everything well and tell her later.”
“We cannot record video. We can only watch with our own eyes…”
Bang.
Before they could finish speaking, they heard a loud crash. Zhong Li He was kicked flying and slammed into the warship’s wall.
The hard wall of the warship was smashed into a deep dent. Zhong Li He staggered to his feet and shook his head, as if he was not the one who had been kicked and slammed. Then he rushed at Chong Ming again.
Then Zhong Li He released a powerful oppressive aura from his supernatural abilities. It spread over the whole training ground like a giant mountain pressing down.
All the people on the training ground watching their fight did not have time to put up any defense and were hit head-on by this strong oppressive aura.
Those with low ability levels had their legs go soft and could not stand. If they were not grabbing the arms of the people beside them and falling into them, they would have fallen flat on their faces and knees.
Sui Xuan Chu and the other six had low ability levels too. They did not waste strength on useless resistance. They threw themselves to the ground and reached back to look for their oppressive aura shielding devices.
Before they could find their shielding devices, Chong Ming met Zhong Li He’s attack and also released a powerful oppressive aura.
The two oppressive auras crashed into each other, releasing an even stronger oppressive aura. The huge training ground filled with thumping noises as people watching fell to the ground one after another.
Sui Xuan Chu and the others never even got their shielding devices out before they were constantly crushed and pounded by the two oppressive auras.
The pain coming from their spiritual seas made cold sweat soak their clothes. Their whole bodies ached and felt swollen from the pain. It was hard to bear.
Even Kong Que could not endure the oppressive aura from the two of them. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He put his hand on the wall and slowly slid down to sit on the ground.
As Chong Ming and Zhong Li He fought fiercer and fiercer, the oppressive aura they released grew more and more and stronger and stronger. It knocked down everyone present. Their oppressive aura also spread out through the open doors.
The people who were knocked down could not take it. They wanted to crawl out, but it felt like countless big mountains were pressing on their backs. They could not move at all.
Huang Da Zhuang, Orange Sparrow, and the others at Level S2 and Level S3, these rookies who had not had much professional training in spiritual power and oppressive aura, all thought they were going to die here. Then, all of a sudden, they smelled a cool flower fragrance. The oppressive aura attacking their spiritual power weakened a lot.
Just when they thought it was their heartthrob idol and Executive Commander Zhong Li He taking back their oppressive aura, Jiang Tea Tea walked over to them and squatted down. She clicked her tongue at them, drenched in sweat and red in the face.
“I told you to train more with Level Ten and above oppressive aura when you had free time. You all said you could not take it and only trained under Level Five.”
“Now look. The two of them are fighting and you suffer. Next time, will you listen to me and train only under Level Ten and above oppressive aura?”
Huang Da Zhuang, Cheng Xiao Ting, Orange Sparrow, and the other five could not hold it anymore. They howled, cried, and shouted at her: “Sister Tea, you are here, you finally came. If you had not come, you would only see our corpses.”
“Woo woo woo, our heartthrob idol’s oppressive aura is so strong, and Executive Commander Zhong Li He’s oppressive aura is also so fierce. We really cannot stand it. Our legs and arms are weak, our spiritual seas hurt. We did not even have a chance to take out our oppressive aura shielding devices.”
“Sister Tea, go, go beat them up and avenge us!”
