Chapter 83
Chapter 83: I Can Raise the Dragon Clan Youngling? There Is Such a Good Thing?
Sui Xuan Chu and the other five all snapped their gazes over at once, anxiously asking: “What is wrong with our Sister Tea, is it serious, is she alright, do we need to help?”
“Our Sister Tea took out seven Insectoid Race members alone. What if she is seriously injured? How about we report it to the drill instructor group and Commander in Chief Chong Ming and have them send more professional healers down here?”
“Right, right. In the Supremacy Tournament training, Insectoid Race infiltrated, and Sister Tea wiped them out. Commander in Chief Chong Ming will definitely open a special channel for that. Maybe Sister Tea can even go straight onto his warship to heal.”
Jiang Tea Tea was speechless.
She did not feel unwell. The earlier waist and belly pain had been treated by her spiritual power. Now her belly was a little uncomfortable, but it was within the range she could endure.
Jiang Tea Tea was just about to refuse, not wanting to see that old loach Chong Ming, but Cheng Lin Yue refused even faster: “No need to notify the drill instructor group or the Commander in Chief. I can do it. My healing techniques are enough. Do not doubt me, do not question me.”
“Right now you go handle the Insectoid Race. I will take Sister Tea over there. After we leave, do not come over, absolutely do not come over…”
Jiang Tea Tea did not understand why Cheng Lin Yue kept warning them not to come over and started to say: “Cheng Lin Yue, I am fine…”
Cheng Lin Yue cut her off fiercely: “Shut up. You are not fine. Listen to me!”
Jiang Tea Tea was completely confused.
[She was supposed to be socially anxious and timid. How did she suddenly become so overbearing? Could this be that saying about a rabbit that bites when it is cornered?]
Cheng Lin Yue hugged Jiang Tea Tea’s arm and dragged her along.
Jiang Tea Tea wanted to know what on earth she was trying to do and how she had suddenly become so adorably fierce. She did not struggle or fight back, letting herself be dragged along.
Cheng Lin Yue dragged her a long way before letting go of her arm. She looked out to make sure Sui Xuan Chu and the others could not hear them, then checked the shared network on her light-brain wrist terminal to confirm there were no other military academy students nearby, and finally turned on the signal shielding device.
Jiang Tea Tea watched the whole thing with a confused face as Cheng Lin Yue bustled about. When Cheng Lin Yue finally stood in front of her and took her hand, she said very seriously: “Sister Tea, I have something very important to tell you. You need to prepare yourself mentally.”
[What kind of important thing could possibly require someone at her Great Demon Stage to mentally prepare?]
[She had seen all kinds of demons and ghosts. Whatever it was, just bring it on.]
Jiang Tea Tea said carelessly: “If you have something to say, just say it. Why act all mysterious?”
Cheng Lin Yue looked at her and lowered her voice: “Sister Tea, do you have a boyfriend?”
Jiang Tea Tea blinked innocently: “A boyfriend? What would I want that for? You cannot eat it or drink it.”
She was not human, after all, so what would she need a boyfriend for?
[If she ever looked for someone, it would have to be a tea tree. Unfortunately, she was the only one in her tea tree clan who had become a demon. Since she could not find a male tea tree spirit, she was destined in this life to be a lonely demon with endless lifespan, a beautiful face, and great power.]
Cheng Lin Yue bit her lip: “You do not have a boyfriend, then did you have a one-night stand with someone?”
[What did she mean by that?]
[Can she take a pulse and tell if I had a one-night stand with someone?]
[This little female rabbit really had some skills.]
Jiang Tea Tea’s eyes grew sharp: “What do you mean? Just say it directly.”
Cheng Lin Yue squeezed her hand tighter and tighter, swallowing again and again, building up layers of mental defenses: “Sister Tea, my uncle is a rogue doctor who researches black medicine and ancient medical arts. I learned a bit from him.”
“I just took your pulse and found that you have…”
“What are you doing here?”
Before Cheng Lin Yue could finish, Chong Ming’s flat questioning voice came from the side like a bolt of thunder, cutting her off.
“You even activated a signal shielding device. What are you discussing?”
Cheng Lin Yue was socially anxious and timid, but when facing the idol she had a crush on, she yanked Jiang Tea Tea behind her and faced Commander in Chief Chong Ming herself.
“Reporting, Commander in Chief, my squad member and schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea just hunted down seven Insectoid Race members and caught a military academy student colluding with the Insectoid Race. She suffered a minor injury. I was just about to heal her.”
[Sister Tea is now valued by the thirty major army corps. I cannot let anyone know she is pregnant, or she will be kicked out of this Supremacy Tournament and her future will be ruined.]
[For a female to be valued by an army corps is already very difficult. She cannot let such a helpful and kind Sister Tea lose her future.]
Ever since they formed a team, Jiang Tea Tea had always stood in front of Cheng Lin Yue to protect her. Now that she was pulled behind her instead, Jiang Tea Tea looked at her in surprise.
Chong Ming, dressed in a black combat uniform with two people standing behind him, slightly furrowed his brows after hearing Cheng Lin Yue’s words and looked at Jiang Tea Tea.
Even with Cheng Lin Yue standing in front to block, she could not block Jiang Tea Tea, who was taller than her.
Chong Ming’s golden eyes fell on Jiang Tea Tea’s face: “You are injured?”
Jiang Tea Tea lifted her hand and openly pointed to her belly: “I took two punches and two kicks, but after Cheng Lin Yue’s healing, it is not a big problem now.”
After hearing her words, Cheng Lin Yue belatedly began to worry. [Her Sister Tea’s belly had been hit. Would the little brat be alright?]
Chong Ming’s gaze followed her finger to her belly: “It is good if you are fine, but I still suggest you…”
“Thank you for your kind intentions, but I do not need your suggestions. I trust my schoolmate’s healing skills.” Jiang Tea Tea cut him off and refused. She lifted the hand that had been pointing at her belly and instead pointed toward where Sui Xuan Chu and the others were: “Jiang Yi Cheng colluded with the Insectoid Race. I have already taken him down over there. You can go take a look.”
Chong Ming’s gaze, which had been on her stomach, moved with her hand to the distance. A sharp light flashed in his eyes. The Insectoid Race again.
Chong Ming said: “Since you have been healed and there is no major problem, let us go over together and take a look.”
Jiang Tea Tea glanced at Cheng Lin Yue: “That works too.”
[What was Cheng Lin Yue about to tell her?]
[What had she found from her pulse?]
[Did taking her pulse show that she was not human?]
[Fine, she had definitely figured out she was not human.]
[But judging by her expression, even though she was scared by that, she would keep it a secret.]
“I will go with you.” Cheng Lin Yue did not dare act up in front of the Commander in Chief, nor dare to hold Jiang Tea Tea back in front of him. She could only grit her teeth and follow, sticking close to protect her and keep anyone from noticing she was pregnant.
Jiang Tea Tea was very puzzled: [We are walking side by side with that old loach Chong Ming, and Cheng Lin Yue is trembling and nervous, yet she still hugs my arm and walks between us. Is she afraid he will notice I am not human?]
Chong Ming’s golden eyes swept over the two of them, whether intentionally or not. As he walked, he gave an order to the chief commander on the warship: “Using my location as the coordinates, we have confirmed the Insectoid Race. Bring the warship over and have Minister Lu come down with the healing box.”
Ai, the deputy officer, replied: “Yes, Commander in Chief.”
Cheng Lin Yue was frightened by Chong Ming’s cold, emotionless voice and shook even harder.
Jiang Tea Tea wanted to switch places with her, but she absolutely would not allow it, insisting on walking between the two of them, keeping them separated.
There was nothing Jiang Tea Tea could do. She slowed down a little, wanting that old loach Chong Ming to walk ahead, but he slowed down too, so the three of them had no choice but to walk side by side again.
When they reached the place where the Insectoid Race corpses were, they saw a super warship appear overhead, hanging in the air like a small mountain pressing down, making everyone feel great pressure, as if one push downward would turn them all into pancakes.
Huang Da Zhuang, Cheng Xiao Ting, and the others were just wondering how to notify the drill instructors when they saw the Commander in Chief coming over together with their Sister Tea. They all stood at attention and saluted crisply.
“Hello, Commander in Chief.”
“Greetings, Commander in Chief.”
Chong Ming swept his gaze over the seven Insectoid Race corpses on the ground, then glanced at the unconscious Jiang Yi Cheng and nodded to them: “Hello. You are all outstanding. You have worked hard.”
Huang Da Zhuang and the others quickly waved their hands: “No, Commander in Chief, you misunderstand. These Insectoid Race members and Jiang Yi Cheng were not killed and knocked out by us. It was our teammate Jiang Tea Tea. She did it alone.”
“Right, Commander in Chief. These Insectoid Race members mistakenly believed our schoolmate Sui Xuan Chu was His Highness the Crown Prince. Since there were too many people around him, they failed to capture him and grabbed our schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea instead. Jiang Tea Tea wiped them all out. It has nothing to do with us. We did not work hard at all.”
Sui Xuan Chu also spoke up: “Yes, Commander in Chief. The deaths of these Insectoid Race members and Jiang Yi Cheng’s coma are all my roommate’s doing. It has nothing to do with us. The honor belongs to my roommate.”
Chong Ming nodded: “The honor that belongs to schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea will definitely reach her hands. Do not worry.”
Jiang Tea Tea spoke up: “We are one squad. We bear hardships together and share glory together. Commander in Chief Chong Ming, if there are any rewards, please count them for all eight of us. Thank you.”
She did not care about glory or not. Killing bugs let her absorb fertilizer too. It was a great deal.
Cheng Xiao Ting, Huang Da Zhuang, and the others could not believe it. Sister Tea was actually sharing the glory with all seven of them. How was this any different from holding onto a big backer that could reach the heavens?
[Ahhh, they hoped that by borrowing Sister Tea’s glory, they could also gain the attention of other army corps, get special recruitment and early placement, and step onto the peak of life.]
Chong Ming turned his head and looked at her: “The honor and merit that belong to you are your honor and merit. They cannot be divided.”
“The honor and merit that belong to them for assisting you will also not be less. You do not need to divide your own honor and merit to them.”
Jiang Tea Tea made an “oh” sound and said casually: “Suit yourself. By the way, why did you come down here for no reason?”
[He suddenly came down and just happened to run into her. She could not help wondering what bad scheme he was up to this time.]
Sui Xuan Chu was speechless.
[That was so like his roommate.]
[Just look at the way she talked to his uncle. She acted like an even bigger big shot than his uncle and with more presence.]
Huang Da Zhuang and the others were also speechless.
[She really was their Sister Tea. The calm way she chatted casually with their idol and heartthrob idol was awesome.]
Cheng Lin Yue was practically screaming inside.
[She really wanted to kneel and beg her to say less and interact less with Commander in Chief Chong Ming.]
[If Commander in Chief Chong Ming noticed that Sister Tea had a little brat, she would be immediately sent out of the Supremacy Tournament, and then they would investigate who the father of the little brat was.]
[All her future, all those army corps, would turn into bubbles and become nothing at all.]
[No, no, she absolutely could not let that happen to her Sister Tea. Her Sister Tea was capable and should be sweeping through the army corps and making a name for herself in the Imperial Military Headquarters.]
Chong Ming’s golden eyes grew deep, and he answered Jiang Tea Tea without hiding anything: “About twenty to thirty minutes ago, when I was on the command ship, I sensed a distress signal from a Dragon Clan youngling, so I brought people down to take a look.”
Jiang Tea Tea let out a sound of surprise: “A Dragon Clan youngling? You mean on this planet there is a Dragon Clan youngling that has not yet hatched?”
Chong Ming nodded: “Yes. A youngling that might still be in its mother’s body or in an eggshell. But about twenty minutes ago, the youngling’s distress aura disappeared.”
“So I cannot tell whether the youngling was rescued or has already died. After that, I happened to run into the two of you sneaking around over there.”
Jiang Tea Tea’s eyes lit up like lightbulbs: “So you are saying that if this Dragon Clan youngling is not in its mother’s body but is an egg with no father or mother around, then whoever finds it gets to keep it. If I find it, I can raise it too?”
