Chapter 64: Little Brat’s Dad Is Determined To Train Little Brat’s Mom Into His Successor
Jiang Tea Tea raised both hands and shouted that she was being wronged: “Your Highness Aceras, please don’t misunderstand. I walked up to you only so you could see more clearly the gift Commander in Chief Chong Ming sent you.”
“You pointing a gun at me like this is really bad manners. It makes me so scared, so nervous!”
Aceras’s gun did not move even half a finger-width: “Little female, you say you’re scared and panicking, but I don’t see it.”
Jiang Tea Tea’s mouth split into a grin, showing eight big white teeth: “If you can’t see it, that’s because you’re blind. What does that have to do with me?”
“Little female, you really are arrogant…”
Before Aceras finished speaking, the image on the holo projection screen in front of him suddenly changed. He caught it from the corner of his eye, his pupils tightening into compound eyes. He gnashed his teeth and shouted: “Chong Ming, you dog, you actually dared to sneak attack the 38th star system defense line of my Insectoid Race?”
Chong Ming’s infuriating voice came from the holo projection on Jiang Tea Tea’s light-brain wrist terminal: “Your Highness Aceras, I didn’t just sneak attack the 38th star system defense line of your Insectoid Race. I also hit your Great Light Pillar Star defense line, and the Cotton Star System defense line.”
“The surprise attack worked pretty well. Your bugs were half a beat too slow to react. By the time they started attacking us, the main Space Station hub already went boom.”
“All those cannon sounds you heard were your long-range ships, your Space Station hub, and your Great Light Pillar Star defense line exploding.”
“All those bits flying around in space are your bugs’ blown up corpses. So, what do you think? Aren’t they prettier than the stars in the sky?”
Aceras took a step forward, pressing the gun to Jiang Tea Tea’s forehead: “Chong Ming, that feint in the east, strike in the west move of yours is pretty good. In that case, I won’t be polite with the little female and little male you sent over.”
Chong Ming appeared on the screen of the light-brain wrist terminal. Looking at Aceras, he spoke calmly but with a strong, overbearing air: “You can be rude to me all you want. Go ahead, try pulling the trigger.”
Aceras shoved Jiang Tea Tea’s head sideways with the gun: “You think I don’t dare?”
Chong Ming chuckled and asked back: “Do you really think the two of them would come over unarmed, let you hold a gun to their heads, and still smile like that?”
Aceras’s attention was fixed on Chong Ming on the light-brain wrist terminal screen. He did not notice that Jiang Tea Tea’s lips were still curled up in a smile, much less notice that the other little male was pointing a gun at him.
Of course, the guards around them had already surrounded that little male. He looked a bit nervous, but he did not lose his composure.
Jiang Tea Tea let out a long sigh: “I hate it the most when bugs set their sights on my head. Aceras, I advise you to move your gun away from my forehead, fast.”
“What big talk…”
Before Aceras finished, a sharp pain suddenly hit his stomach.
His expression changed. Ignoring the pain in his belly, he fired.
Bang.
On the projection screen, Chong Ming’s golden eyes changed, but before he could speak, the projection was cut off.
Sui Xuan Chu’s eyes went wide. Unable to break through the guards surrounding him, he shouted: “Roommate, are you okay?!”
Jiang Tea Tea’s hand was covered in blood as she gripped the gun. The bullet had pierced through her left hand. In her right hand she held a branch staff thinner than her little finger, and it had stabbed through Aceras’s stomach.
She glanced back at Sui Xuan Chu with a smile: “I’m fine, roommate. Come over!”
Sui Xuan Chu moved a step forward at her words, but the guards around him stepped in closer with their guns, not letting him pass.
Seeing this, Jiang Tea Tea smiled without warmth. She pulled the branch staff back a little from where it pierced Aceras’s belly: “Your Highness Aceras, tell your people to get lost.”
Aceras wanted to fire again, but the little female in front of him was holding his gun barrel. He could not shoot, and he could not pull it back.
The pain of having his belly pierced by the branch twisted like a knife stirring over open flames as she moved it, leaving him unable to use any of his supernatural abilities.
“Don’t want to?” Seeing him stay silent, Jiang Tea Tea twisted the gun barrel downward. The gun fell out of Aceras’s hand.
Her bloody hand flipped nimbly. She caught the gun, aimed it at Aceras’s thigh, and fired with a bang.
The bullet hit Aceras’s thigh. His face went pale from the pain, his leg buckled, and he dropped to one knee.
Jiang Tea Tea yanked the branch staff out of his belly, pointed the gun at his head, and said to his guards: “If you don’t want your Highness to die, then all of you get back and throw down your weapons.”
The guards looked at each other, then quickly backed up several steps and threw down all the guns in their hands.
Sui Xuan Chu rushed to Jiang Tea Tea’s side and asked anxiously: “Roommate, is your hand okay?”
Jiang Tea Tea replied: “I’m fine. Tie his hands for me.”
Sui Xuan Chu obeyed. He reached back into his space knob storage device, took out a restraint zip-tie, yanked Aceras’s hands behind him, and tied them together.
Jiang Tea Tea held the gun to his head with one hand and slapped his face with the other: “Little bug, I told you, I hate it most when bugs think about my head. Got it now?”
Even when fighting Chong Ming, Aceras had never been humiliated like this. His eyes turned into compound eyes, staring at Jiang Tea Tea like she was prey: “Little female, you really are arrogant and good at pretending. I carelessly fell into your trap and thought you were a useless thing with no supernatural abilities.”
Jiang Tea Tea smiled brightly: “Roommate, I suddenly realized something. People who rarely lose just refuse to admit they’re trash.”
Sui Xuan Chu nodded in agreement: “Right. They won’t admit they’re trash, and they won’t train more either. They just like to blame their mistakes on us sneak attacking them.”
Aceras asked: “And you’re not sneak attacking?”
Jiang Tea Tea answered: “Two armies fighting, how can you call that a sneak attack? At most you can say all’s fair in war.”
Aceras ground his teeth: “Fine, all’s fair in war. I will remember you, little male and little female.”
Bang, the gun went off again.
Jiang Tea Tea had aimed at Aceras’s other good leg and fired. He had been kneeling on one knee before; now he dropped to both knees.
Jiang Tea Tea smiled as she said: “Your Highness Aceras, will you remember it even better this way?”
Aceras was in so much pain he almost couldn’t keep his humanoid form: “You’re right, little female. I will remember you for the rest of my life, until I eat you.”
This girl’s wild temper and reckless attitude were even worse than that dog Chong Ming.
No wonder that dog had let her come over. He obviously sent her here to use him as practice for her courage and skills.
“Commander in Chief, schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea is amazing.” Ai, the deputy officer, stared at the real-time surveillance holo projection that Cai Xi Chao had pulled up after hacking into Aceras’s main warship.
Chong Ming’s golden eyes were fixed on Jiang Tea Tea’s hand, still bleeding nonstop on the holo projection: “Indeed. She is neater, harsher, more arrogant, and more ruthless than I imagined and than I had seen before.”
“She is absolutely a good seedling. She is the most satisfying candidate for successor to Commander in Chief of the Three Armies that I have seen in decades!”
Even though their Commander in Chief’s face showed no expression, Ai could still feel his joy. He asked: “Commander in Chief, schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea has already taken down Aceras. Should we go pick her up now?”
Chong Ming’s thin lips curved up: “No. First blow up all of Aceras’s drone swarms, patrol battle ships, and bodyguard escort vessels for schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea to see!”
