Chapter 65: Little Brat’s Dad Spreads His Peacock Tail – So Who Is He Showing Off To?
“Right now?” Ai’s eyes sharpened. “Reporting to Commander in Chief, schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea and the little Highness are still on Aceras’s main warship.”
The curve of Chong Ming’s lips deepened. His golden eyes did not move from the giant screen: “Once the enemy’s field commander is captured, it’s the same as having no one in command.”
“The enemy’s Information Department has already been completely taken by Minister Cai. The smart central monitoring system of their main warship is in the palm of my hand.”
“All those drone swarms, patrol battle fleets, and bodyguard escort ships are just decorations now. Lock on and fire!”
Ai: “!!!!”
Since when were Cai Xi Chao’s skills this awesome, that she took control of all the enemy ships’ smart monitoring systems in the blink of an eye? How had he not known?
At Chong Ming’s order, every department on the ship went into position and took aim. In less than six seconds, the three defensive lines around Aceras’s main warship were bombarded.
Explosions roared. Fire, debris, and shockwaves spread and rushed through space, like the brightest light spilling across the universe, dazzling to the eyes.
“Wow, little bug, from the angle of your command room looking out, this blaze of light is really beyond words. It’s so beautiful.” Jiang Tea Tea stared at the brilliance outside through the glass, then grabbed the two antennae on Aceras’s head and forced him to look outside too.
Aceras watched as his three defensive lines were destroyed by that bastard Chong Ming with his 100 percent hit rate. His rage hit the roof: “Chong Ming, you shameless villain!”
Chong Ming’s image appeared on the holo projection screen, as if he had stepped right into the command room of his own main warship. On the screen he looked down at Aceras from above: “Speaking of face, Your Highness Aceras, you were the one who threw away your face first. You can’t blame me for tearing it off too.”
Aceras’s insect compound eyes were blood-red: “You really show me the diversity of species. Even when you’re twisting logic, you sound so righteous.”
Chong Ming raised an eyebrow: “Twisting logic? I don’t think so. I’ve been following our two sides’ ceasefire agreement this whole time. I don’t send my people to jump around your place for no reason, catch your crown princess heir, or drool over your little life. I definitely don’t fly my warship over to your doorstep for no reason.”
“I thought coming uninvited counted as a provocation. I thought you, Aceras, knew that if you stroll over to someone else’s doorstep, you’ll get hit. Turns out you didn’t know. I can only help you remember it better.”
“Don’t be so pleased with yourself. Don’t be so arrogant,” Aceras said. “What proof do you have that I sent bugs to stroll around your place? I stayed outside your 8th Star System Defense Line and never even entered your star system. Yet you fired on my defenses and attacked my other border systems. This is you unilaterally breaking the ceasefire agreement and deliberately provoking my Insectoid Race.”
“From now on, my Insectoid Race has the right to attack you and wipe out the hundreds of billions of citizens of your Zhenlin Empire.”
Chong Ming spread his hands: “If the Insectoid Race wants to attack my Empire, I’m more than happy to welcome it. I’ve already cleaned out a room on my warship waiting for you to move in, so we can see how your Insectoid Race wipes out my Empire.”
“Sui Xuan Chu, schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea, please bring Your Highness Aceras over. The people I sent to pick you up have already arrived.”
Jiang Tea Tea used her spiritual power to stop the bleeding in her hand: “Got it.”
Sui Xuan Chu answered in a loud voice: “We guarantee to complete the mission!”
“Oh, right.” As if suddenly remembering something, Chong Ming added on the screen to remind Aceras: “Your Highness Aceras, I forgot to tell you, your Information Department has been completely wiped out. I am in full control of your ship’s central smart monitoring system.”
“So… do not try to have the soldiers on your ship attack my people, and don’t play any little tricks against them. Otherwise, your ship will shut down, and my people will send you to see the Beast God.”
Aceras tried hard to hold back his anger, but he could not. He gnashed his teeth and roared: “Chong Ming, you stinky loach, rotten mudfish bastard, if you have the guts then kill me. If you don’t kill me, I’ll be your mortal enemy.”
Chong Ming smiled back at him, then ignored him and cut off the holographic screen.
Jiang Tea Tea asked with a smile: “Your Highness Aceras, you must have fought Chong Ming plenty of times already. How come you’re only now realizing he’s a stinky loach, rotten mudfish bastard?”
Aceras stared at Jiang Tea Tea in shock. She was agreeing with him. What kind of hell-level joke was this?
With his gun pointed at Aceras’s head, Sui Xuan Chu could not help reminding her: “Roommate, villains die from talking too much. Maybe say a few less lines.”
[Roommate, didn’t you hear him say he already has full control over this ship’s central smart monitoring system?]
[And you’re still calling him a rotten mudfish stinky loach. When he settles the bill later, even if you don’t die you’ll lose a layer of skin, okay?]
Jiang Tea Tea pouted, pulled a long, thin, soft branch from her space knob storage device, looped it, and slipped it around Aceras’s neck like a dog leash: “Walk!”
Both of Aceras’s thighs had gunshot wounds, his belly had a through-and-through injury, and now his neck was leashed. Humiliated and in pain, he dropped to the ground and refused to move.
Seeing this, Jiang Tea Tea tugged on the branch: “Little bug, I’m giving you face, so you should take it. Don’t throw a tantrum with me here, or don’t blame me for being rude.”
Aceras turned his head aside, giving Jiang Tea Tea a sideways glare: “Even that old mud loach Chong Ming doesn’t dare humiliate me like this…”
Clang.
Before he finished, Jiang Tea Tea kicked him, sending him flying into the hard glass with a crash.
Sui Xuan Chu’s hand holding the gun trembled. He could not help swallowing. [Roommate is so cool, so fierce, so explosive. Question Big Dog Huang, understand Big Dog Huang, become Big Dog Huang. An idol like this will definitely surpass his uncle’s idol.]
Jiang Tea Tea gave the long, thin, soft branch in her hand a pull and dragged Aceras back just as he slid down from the glass: “Are you walking or not?”
Aceras growled: “Just kill me then.”
Clang, again.
Aceras was kicked flying again and smashed into the glass. Before he could fall from it, Jiang Tea Tea yanked him back: “Walking or not?”
“You…”
Clang, again.
For the third time, Jiang Tea Tea kicked Aceras flying, dragged him back for the third time, and asked for the third time: “Walking or not?”
This time Aceras spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, clutching the bleeding wound on his stomach. He did not answer.
Jiang Tea Tea kicked him flying a fourth time, then pulled him back again: “Walking or not?”
There was not a single spot on Aceras’s body that did not hurt: “Little female, today you either kill me, or else…”
Clang for the fifth time.
For the fifth time Aceras was kicked flying and for the fifth time pulled back.
This time Jiang Tea Tea did not ask. She dragged him back and kicked him a sixth time.
The sixth kick sent him flying. She pulled him back and kicked him a seventh time.
Back and forth, it was just kicking.
Again and again, it was just yanking!
Only when she had kicked him a tenth time did Aceras speak, covered in blood and in utter disgrace, with nothing left of a noble Insectoid Race imperial prince: “Fine. I’ll walk. I’ll walk.”
Jiang Tea Tea lowered the tenth kick she had not yet thrown and tugged the thin branch: “If you’d said that earlier, we’d be done already. Bugs really are shamelessly cheap. Roommate, let’s go.”
Hearing her call him, Sui Xuan Chu could not help shivering all over and hurriedly answered: “Okay!”
For some reason, he thought that since roommate had already beaten Aceras, she would not beat him. He did not know why he had this thought, but he just did.
The group led by Da Ma Zi, who had come to pick up Jiang Tea Tea and the others, could not believe what they were seeing. The dignified Insectoid Race imperial prince who had fought their Commander in Chief countless times, how could he be this bloody and miserable this time?
Th-this… They even doubted whether this was the same Insectoid Race imperial prince they knew. Where was his elegance, his arrogance, his obsession with cleanliness, the way his eyes seemed to be growing on the top of his head?
Why did he now look like a bloody, defeated dog? Ahhh, it had to be an illusion, definitely their illusion.
“Take it, what are you zoning out for?” Jiang Tea Tea handed the branch in her hand to Da Ma Zi. He had been holding his gun with both hands and not moving for so long it was making her angry.
Da Ma Zi snapped back to himself and took the branch: “Schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea, are you all okay? Who beat him up like this?”
Jiang Tea Tea pointed at herself: “He wouldn’t behave, so I beat him.”
Da Ma Zi chuckled twice: “Oh, oh, impressive, impressive. Hurry and get on the ship, the Commander in Chief is waiting for you.”
Jiang Tea Tea and Sui Xuan Chu boarded the small transport ship together. Da Ma Zi dragged Aceras on board as well.
As their small ship flew away from Aceras’s main ship, the main ship’s artillery shell depot was struck by a giant artillery shell.
With a deafening boom, sparks flew everywhere. Right after that, the artillery shell depot on the main ship erupted in explosion after explosion. All emergency exits and emergency rescue facilities inside the ship shut down and went dead.
The Insectoid Race on the ship were either blown to pieces in the explosions, or blasted out into space, where they died from lack of oxygen.
The shockwaves from the main ship explosion came one after another in waves, affecting all the surrounding asteroids.
The sparks and fragments from the blast looked just like a small planet exploding, pouring out the brightest light at the end of its life and shining in space.
Inside the small ship, Jiang Tea Tea witnessed the firepower of the Interstellar Space era. Its high-tech cannons were even more powerful than her spiritual power at its peak.
Even if she recovered all of her spiritual power, she could not blast such a giant warship into pieces in a single move.
This era was not easy to survive in. It was too dangerous. After she finished meeting all the fake young miss’s demands and recovered her spiritual power, she would still have to find a way to hurry up and leave.
Otherwise, if her foul mouth and bad temper offended that old mud loach someday, and he gave her one artillery shell, her corpse might not even be left behind.
The small ship carrying Jiang Tea Tea and the others entered the main ship where Chong Ming was. She and Sui Xuan Chu got off and saw Chong Ming, who had changed out of his combat suit into a black military uniform. He stood tall and straight, one hand in his pocket, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs.
One second earlier, Jiang Tea Tea had been telling herself not to offend this old mud loach. The next second she completely forgot and complained to Sui Xuan Chu: “Roommate, look at that. In just a short time he changed into a whole new outfit, and now he’s standing there. Doesn’t he look like an old peacock spreading his tail?”
Sui Xuan Chu blinked and shot back: “If I remember right, an old peacock spreads his tail for someone. He doesn’t have a target. So is this display for me, or for you?”
