Chapter 214
Chapter 214: The big golden dragon gets ruthlessly mocked, the little cub’s mom does not even like you
Chong Ming’s golden eyes fixed on her as he said: “Yes, I am indeed in my mating heat cycle. I cannot get rid of the smell on my body for now. You will have to put up with it for a while.”
Jiang Tea Tea stared into his eyes and unceremoniously ordered him to leave: “Why should I wrong myself and put up with it? I do not want to smell it. Please get out of my room right now and stop delaying my sleep.”
Her nose was almost as sharp as Huang Da Zhuang’s. His scent drilled into her nose from all directions. Even holding her breath could not block it.
She could not get rid of his scent at all. It was like an incurable poison, making her greedy and hungry, making her want to move closer to him, push him down, and lie on top of him to sniff his smell.
Of course, that was not the main problem. The real problem was that every time she felt hungry and greedy, she started thinking about how to kill him, chop him into eight pieces, and bury him under her tree roots as fertilizer.
Chong Ming slowly straightened up, lifted the wrist wearing his light-brain wrist terminal, and glanced at the time as he said: “There are still 8 hours and 50 minutes until we reach the capital planet. Are you sure you do not want my dragon blood, and you also do not want my supernatural abilities and spiritual power to calm you?”
Jiang Tea Tea snorted proudly: “My cub and I are doing just fine. We absolutely do not need you, you tool. Thanks.”
The Three Armies Commander in Chief of the Empire, the Prince Regent, was being called a tool. He did not get angry at all. He just sighed softly, retreated in order to advance, and started digging a verbal pit for her to jump into.
He said slowly: “All right. I never meant to fight you over the youngling. I just want to do my small part as a father and make up for the kick I gave you before. I want the youngling to be strong even without a shell, and I want your body not to be harmed at all by this pregnancy.”
“You lack some basic common sense. You may not know this, but the calming supernatural abilities and spiritual power from the father’s body, as well as dragon blood and flesh, can also strengthen the mother’s body. If you are lucky, after the youngling is born, the mother’s level of supernatural abilities may even rise.”
[What did he mean? His supernatural abilities and spiritual power can make me stronger? They can raise my spiritual power…?]
Right. She had been so angry at him, blood rushing to her head, that she had forgotten that dragon blood and dragon meat were great tonics. Even if it was not for the dragon cub but for herself, eating more dragon blood and dragon meat would help her spiritual power recover faster and make her body stronger.
As a demon tree, coming to this place was already a stroke of luck. Meeting a dragon and being able to eat dragon meat and drink dragon blood was luck on top of luck.
She could not let her anger at him make her give up this chance and give up the nourishment of dragon blood and dragon meat. That would really not match the style of a proper demon.
Jiang Tea Tea’s expression flipped as fast as turning a page. She pulled out a cup and handed it to him as she said: “Here, you can just put the dragon blood in this.”
Chong Ming lowered his gaze to the cup and asked: “Do you not like to bite me and drink it fresh? Why are you using a cup now?”
The mating heat cycle he had suppressed for over a hundred years always hit him hard whenever he faced her. His whole body wanted to swagger up to her, get close to her, touch her, hold her, and do some excessive things to her.
Her biting him and drinking his blood was currently the only excuse he had to openly get close to her, hug her, and touch her.
Jiang Tea Tea shoved the cup into his hand and said: “Biting you and drinking on the spot is too slow. I like to drink in big gulps all at once.”
Kidding. He was in his mating heat cycle. If she hugged him while drinking blood and he got carried away by it, lost his reason and self control, and made a move on her, that would be terrible.
Last time, she had not been able to beat him and suffered a loss, but she got five cubs out of it and that made it even. If she suffered another loss, with his crash-straight-in, rough and terrible technique, that would not do at all.
She stopped insisting on making him leave. Holding the cup, Chong Ming stepped back and said: “If you want to drink from a cup, then drink from a cup.”
Seeing him agree, Jiang Tea Tea walked to the bed, flipped the quilt, burrowed into it, pulled the blanket over herself, set up a spiritual power shield, turned off the light, and went to sleep.
Chong Ming retreated with the cup to the sofa and sat down. He did not release any blood. He looked toward the bed, took a mating heat cycle suppressant from his space knob storage device, and injected it into his own neck.
The restless heat in his body was slowly pressed down by the suppressant. Then he released his supernatural abilities and spiritual power to soothe her, slowly pulled his gaze back, took out his light-brain wrist terminal, projected a virtual screen, and started handling state affairs as if the mating heat cycle did not exist at all.
Wrapped and soothed by his rich supernatural abilities and spiritual power, Jiang Tea Tea felt as if she were inside a large formation filled with endless spiritual energy. She was so comfortable that, if she were not restraining herself with all her might, she could have transformed back into a living tea tree on the spot.
After more than eight hours of deep sleep and nourishment, the warship reached the capital planet. When Jiang Tea Tea appeared at the hatch, Huang Da Zhuang nudged Cheng Xiao Ting with his elbow and said: “Do you feel like our Sister Tea’s face is whiter and softer, and her eyes are blacker and brighter, like she has been nourished somewhere?”
Cheng Xiao Ting nodded: “Yes. Not only is her face whiter and softer and her eyes blacker and brighter, her lips are red, she is full of energy, and her steps are light.”
“Based on my many years of single dog experience,” he said, “I would say our Sister Tea must have fallen in love. Her boyfriend might even be one of Commander in Chief Chong Ming’s subordinates.”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough!”
“Cough, cough, cough, cough!”
The two people who knew the truth, Sui Xuan Chu and Cheng Lin Yue, choked on their saliva at Cheng Xiao Ting’s very serious single dog nonsense. They started coughing together, coughing like dogs.
Seeing the two of them cough, Cheng Xiao Ting became even more confident that his wild guess was right. He raised his voice and asked Jiang Tea Tea: “Sister Tea, are you in love? Are you dating one of Commander in Chief Chong Ming’s subordinates?”
He leaned closer and kept asking: “Is it his personal guard subordinate, or someone from his healing department, or his information department, or maybe a subordinate from some other department? Just give us a squeak.”
Orange Sparrow, Zhang Ting Zhou, and the others stared at Jiang Tea Tea with gossip-hungry eyes, their ears perked up, afraid they would miss any juicy detail.
Giving Cheng Xiao Ting plenty of face, Jiang Tea Tea let out a mouse-like squeak at him as she said: “Squeak.”
Cheng Xiao Ting looked confused: “Sister Tea, what do you mean by that ‘squeak’? Are you really in love? Did you really find us a brother-in-law?”
When Cheng Lin Yue and Sui Xuan Chu heard that they might have to call the Commander in Chief, his uncle, their brother-in-law, their coughing, which had almost stopped, started again as they choked on their saliva. They coughed so hard their faces turned red.
Yeah, they did not dare imagine calling the Commander in Chief, his uncle, brother-in-law, and how the Commander in Chief, his uncle, would peel their skin off and kill them.
Jiang Tea Tea walked up behind them, put her hands on their backs, and patted as she answered Cheng Xiao Ting: “Yes. Not only am I in love and have found you all a brother-in-law, I also have a little brat.”
They had thought that the nonsense and wild talk from Cheng Xiao Ting and Huang Da Zhuang was already outrageous enough. They did not expect Jiang Tea Tea to join them in being outrageous.
The ones who knew the truth, Sui Xuan Chu and Cheng Lin Yue, were not coughing like dogs anymore. They were coughing like dead dogs, hysterically, as if their hearts and lungs were being torn apart.
“Huh? Sister Tea, you are not in love, you have not found us a brother-in-law, you have not found anyone at all. Saying you are pregnant, who are you trying to scare?” Cheng Xiao Ting did not believe his Sister Tea could be pregnant. What kind of pregnant woman still jumped up and down and fought so fiercely?
Huang Da Zhuang hurriedly nodded and said: “Yes, yes, Sister Tea. I just saw that you look really good today, your skin so tender it looks like water would come out if you pinched it, so I joked with you. Do not take it seriously. Do not scare us.”
Zhang Ting Zhou chimed in: “Sister Tea, when you went too far just now and said you were pregnant, my mind jumped and I almost blurted out, why not just say your boyfriend is our idol, our heartthrob idol, the Commander in Chief?”
All right, all right. Each of them was more amazing than the last at talking nonsense, and each one was getting closer to the truth.
The ones who knew the truth, Sui Xuan Chu and Cheng Lin Yue, coughed to the point of dying and coming back. They really wanted to tell the others that their Sister Tea was not scaring them. She was telling the truth. The person they would call brother-in-law in the future was exactly their heartthrob idol, the Commander in Chief.
Cheng Xiao Ting gave Zhang Ting Zhou a thumbs up and said: “Brother Octopus, I am unreliable, Sister Tea is someone who talks nonsense, but you are amazing. You even joke about my heartthrob idol.”
Zhang Ting Zhou chuckled: “That is not a joke. What single man or woman has never dreamed of becoming our heartthrob idol’s subordinate or marrying our heartthrob idol?”
Huang Da Zhuang and the others all agreed. When it came to fantasies about their heartthrob idol, the men did not dream of defeating him or surpassing him. They dreamed of becoming his subordinates and working their lives away for him. The women dreamed of marrying him, giving him ten or eight cubs, and helping the Golden Dragon Clan flourish.
Listening to their talk grow more and more outrageous, Jiang Tea Tea reminded them that the small shuttle picking them up had arrived and told them to shut up quickly.
The warship’s hatch opened, and the connecting ramp linked up with a small shuttle.
Jiang Tea Tea grabbed the still coughing Sui Xuan Chu and Cheng Lin Yue and stepped onto the ramp, boarding the small shuttle.
The small shuttle left, the ramp retracted, and the hatch closed. The warship Chong Ming was on lifted into the sky, turned on its invisibility mode, and disappeared into the clouds.
“Here, take this.” Zhong Li He pulled a syringe from his space knob storage device and handed it to Chong Ming with one hand while covering his nose with the other.
Chong Ming glanced at the injection and said: “Keep it for yourself. I have a partner. I do not need this thing.”
Zhong Li He mocked him mercilessly: “That Chong guy, I admit I am jealous that you have a youngling. I admit that Jiang Tea Tea’s excellence makes me envious.”
“But the lies pouring out of your mouth are all for showing off in front of me. Do you really think my eyes are just for decoration and I cannot see anything?”
“Come on, do not be polite with me. This is the newest mating heat cycle suppressant from my family. One hypodermic shot lasts three months. Hurry up and get rid of that smell on you. It stinks.”
Chong Ming’s golden eyes darkened: “What lies? Everything I said is true. I am not showing off in front of you. I am just showing my daily life.”
Zhong Li He clicked his tongue, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he said: “Yeah, right. What good dragon with a partner still reeks all over of pent-up desire?”
“With the friendship between us, after knowing you for more than a hundred years, even if you told me you did not manage to win her over, yet somehow you have a youngling with her, and the two of you only had that one spring night, I still would not laugh at you.”
Of course, he would not laugh at him to his face. He would mock him in that sarcastic tone and laugh at him in his heart.
Chong Ming had shown off his love and stuffed it in his face for so long. Now Zhong Li He had finally caught something to use against him.
Chong Ming had not actually managed to woo Jiang Tea Tea at all. Jiang Tea Tea simply did not like him, which was why she would not register a marriage with him.
Just think about it. He was the Three Armies Commander in Chief of a whole country, the Prince Regent, a top leader above billions, holding great power. He already had a little brat, yet he still had not gotten the little brat’s mom. As his friend, Zhong Li He had to use a lot of strength to press down the corners of his mouth so he did not laugh out loud right there.
Chong Ming’s gaze suddenly sharpened like a blade and swept toward Zhong Li He as he said: “Supreme Commander Zhong, if you cannot hold down the corners of your mouth, I will knock out all your teeth.”
After hearing that, Zhong Li He stopped trying to hold back his laughter. He slapped his thigh and burst out laughing loudly.
“Hahaha, Chong Ming, I poked right at your heart. Now you are furious from embarrassment.”
“I knew it. Why is it that we are the same age, I still have not found anyone to date or a partner, but you have?”
“So in the end, it is all one-sided on your part. Your little brat’s mother does not like you at all. Hahaha, I am not laughing at you, I am happy. Since the little brat’s mother does not like you, she will definitely like me. I am going to chase her, marry her back to the Western Kingdom as my Supreme Commander Madam, and I will help you raise your cub.”
