Chapter 90: Little Brat’s Dad Will Never Be Sweet To Little Brat’s Mom; He Only Knows How To Hit
Chong Ming raised an eyebrow, his deep voice carrying a hint of laughter: “Hitting someone? Who on my warship pissed you off so much that you won’t find a place to sleep or something to eat, and instead come up here in the middle of the night to beat people?”
Jiang Tea Tea answered cleanly: “You. And Jiang Yi Cheng.”
Surprise flashed through Chong Ming’s golden eyes: “I can understand you hitting Jiang Yi Cheng. But hitting me? The thirty army corps commanders surrounding and blocking the eight of you, that order was not from me. They just wanted to see how strong you are.”
“I only gave them the order, while they were fighting you, to use supernatural abilities against you. Other than that, I don’t remember giving you any reason to hit me.”
[Does he even hear himself?]
She had already thought it was strange that when she fought the twelve army corps commanders, nobody used supernatural abilities at first, it was all close combat. How did they suddenly start using supernatural abilities to attack her?
Turns out it was this bastard of a stinky loach who gave the order, telling them to use supernatural abilities on her.
Jiang Tea Tea said angrily: “Cut the crap. I’m coming over to find you right now. Are you opening the lower deck of your warship or not?”
Chong Ming was speechless for a moment: “I’ll open it. I’ll send you a coordinate. Come over.”
Jiang Tea Tea didn’t even grunt a reply before cutting off the light-brain wrist terminal.
Chong Ming stared at the now black screen of the light-brain wrist terminal. He was always the one to cut off conversations with other people first. Now Jiang Tea Tea had hung up on him first. It was a strange experience.
Jiang Tea Tea sat into the flying device, patted her stomach, and warned the cubs inside to behave and not cause trouble for her.
The cubs seemed to answer her, wriggling in a small area inside her belly.
Jiang Tea Tea felt it was very strange. Before she knew she had cubs, even if her stomach rumbled when she was hungry or moved after she ate, she just thought it was digestion.
Now that she knew there were cubs inside, even the slightest movement from them, she could feel it very clearly. It was weird.
She patted her belly again, started the flying device, and followed the coordinate Chong Ming sent her.
The super invisibility warship dropped its invisibility and hovered high in the sky. The bright moon and twinkling stars framed it, and it stood above the clouds like a tall mountain, towering and domineering, full of pressure.
The lower deck of the warship opened. Jiang Tea Tea piloted the flying device inside. As soon as she got out, she saw Chong Ming, wearing a full combat uniform and combat boots, with two bright golden dragon horns on his head and a cascade of long, shining golden hair.
Bang.
Jiang Tea Tea slammed the flying device’s door shut and walked up to Chong Ming: “You came to pick me up. That’s rare.”
Chong Ming’s face stayed calm, his voice low: “You said you wanted to hit me. If I didn’t come to pick you up, that would feel a bit wrong.”
Right now Jiang Tea Tea suspected that he might be Little Brat’s dad, but she wasn’t sure yet.
But monster spirits were protective. When she didn’t know she was pregnant, being hit and kicked by others was whatever.
Now that she knew she had cubs, if someone hit her or kicked her, she had to take it back for them, ten times over.
And she had to figure out if he really was Little Brat’s real dad. Hopefully he wasn’t.
Seeing her looking him over without speaking, Chong Ming slowly said: “If I were you, and I wanted to hit me, I wouldn’t be thinking so much about sneak attacks.”
Jiang Tea Tea went right against him, righteous and confident: “What’s wrong with me studying sneak attacks? I’m openly studying them, openly sneak attacking.”
Chong Ming stabbed straight at her sore spot: “Yes, you are open about it, just like at the Imperial Military Academy. You sneaked up on me and I kicked you in the stomach.”
“Now it seems your stomach still hasn’t healed. You’re also avoiding the healers’ checks. So if you still want to sneak attack me, I might accidentally kick you in the stomach again.”
Jiang Tea Tea stuck out her index finger and pointed at him for a long time before squeezing words out: “You make a good point, but you’re wrong. I’m not sizing you up because I want to sneak attack you. I’m staring at you because you’re ugly. You’re so ugly my eyes hurt.”
[Don’t be mad, don’t be mad, don’t be mad. I am a Great Demon Stage. Getting mad at a stinky loach is not worth it.]
Besides, someone this ugly could not possibly be the father of the cubs in her belly. Absolutely not.
Chong Ming let out a soft laugh: “You are the first person to describe me like that. I’ve learned something. So do you want to hit me first now, or hit Jiang Yi Cheng first?”
Jiang Tea Tea followed along with his words: “Hit Jiang Yi Cheng first.”
Chong Ming nodded: “Come on, I’ll take you over.”
Jiang Tea Tea stepped forward to walk beside him and asked: “Your good nephew said you’re not only a dual-type ability user, and your strength isn’t just the level S10 for supernatural abilities and spiritual power in your file. What level are you really?”
Chong Ming glanced sideways at her: “For someone who wants to beat me up, you sure are asking very openly.”
Jiang Tea Tea shot back: “Is it that I can’t ask, or that you can’t say?”
Chong Ming’s lips curved, his mood good: “I can say. I have two dual-type supernatural abilities. Every ability is above level S10.”
[Damn. Two dual-type supernatural abilities, so that’s four abilities total.]
[Every supernatural ability is above level S10. That means S10 is just the bottom line, with no upper limit.]
Right now her spiritual power had barely recovered to thirty percent. One on one, she still couldn’t beat him. But if she didn’t beat him, she would feel stuck and miserable.
Jiang Tea Tea asked again: “Two dual-type abilities. The file says you’re lightning and fire dual-type. What are the other two?”
Chong Ming didn’t answer her. Instead, he asked back: “Didn’t I already tell you about the four types of supernatural abilities I used to set up a barrier around your maternal grandfather? What kind of abilities do you have?”
Jiang Tea Tea snorted: “When did you ever tell me? You only said you had four types of supernatural abilities. You never said what the other two were. How is that ‘telling me everything’?”
Chong Ming stopped walking, turned his body, and looked at her: “Schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea, conversation is mutual. You can’t be the only one asking while I answer. There has to be give and take. You ask one question, I answer one. I ask one, you answer one.”
“If that won’t work, we can have a round of full honesty. How about that?”
[Crafty stinky loach. In the end he still wants to test my bottom line.]
Jiang Tea Tea kept her expression calm and tested him back: “And what do you mean by ‘full honesty’? You want me to tell you when and how I left First Hotel?”
“Or do you want me to tell you who I met when I left First Hotel? Or which person with invisibility abilities took me away from there?”
Chong Ming’s gaze turned darker: “You admit someone helped you when you left First Hotel?”
Jiang Tea Tea didn’t answer, but pulled his words away and asked instead: “What were you doing at First Hotel back then? Which room were you staying in?”
Chong Ming’s eyes were deep as an abyss, a glint of scrutiny flashing through them: “What do you want to know?”
“Just answer my question,” Jiang Tea Tea said.
Chong Ming asked her back: “If I answer your question, will you answer mine?”
Jiang Tea Tea didn’t lock herself in: “Depends on the situation.”
Chong Ming bargained: “One question each. If that works, we keep talking. If not, I’ll take you to find Jiang Yi Cheng. After you beat him, you can fight me.”
Jiang Tea Tea was silent for a moment: “Deal. You answer my question first. You are the Empire’s commander in chief of the Three Armies and also the Prince Regent. You can live in the imperial palace, at the Imperial Military Headquarters, or in your own residence. So why did you appear at First Hotel?”
Chong Ming replied: “I was on my way back from inspecting other star systems and passed by First Hotel. I happened to run into my mating heat cycle, so I checked into First Hotel.”
“The top floor of First Hotel is very private. It lets my spiritual power riots and my supernatural abilities riots stay inside, without my oppressive aura spreading out. That avoids a lot of unnecessary trouble.”
[Shit.]
The top floor of First Hotel was the 199th floor.
Her suspicion was confirmed. He really was the dad of the cub in her belly.
This damn stinky loach had terrible technique, almost snapped all her branches, and still somehow got her pregnant. It made this demon so angry she wanted to kill him, chop him up, and bury him under her tree roots.
Chong Ming saw her head lowered, eyes down, and asked: “How did you leave First Hotel? Why aren’t you in the surveillance system?”
Jiang Tea Tea opened her mouth, mixing lies with truth, and truth with lies: “My foster parents wanted to do business with your Imperial Military Headquarters as suppliers. That so-called supplier liked pure humans with no supernatural abilities. He said they were more exciting to play with.”
“My ex-fiancé wanted to get rid of me. Together with my foster parents, they sent me to him. I wasn’t about to sit and wait to die, so before I went, I cheated them out of several tens of millions.”
“When I got there, I found there was another female in the room, a female with invisibility abilities. She was warm-hearted. She helped me knock out that so-called supplier, my foster parents, and my ex-fiancé, strip them naked, and throw them on the bed, then told me to call the police.”
“When people from the police bureau arrived and opened the door, she used her invisibility ability to take me out of the room and out of First Hotel. Then she went back herself.”
Chong Ming’s deep voice took on a hint of urgency: “Was she a pure human female or a beastman female? Which room was she staying in? What did she look like?”
Jiang Tea Tea lifted her eyes to look at Chong Ming and grinned wildly: “I don’t have any more questions I want to ask you, so I refuse to answer your questions now. Thanks.”
Chong Ming narrowed his golden eyes slightly at her smile: “You don’t want to know what my four types of supernatural abilities are?”
Jiang Tea Tea showed her neat white teeth: “Once I start hitting you, I’ll naturally find out what your other two abilities are.”
Chong Ming nodded: “Schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea, you really are good at taking shortcuts and playing tricks.”
Jiang Tea Tea spread her hands: “I learned it from you.”
“Good. Very good. You’re good,” Chong Ming praised coldly. “Your credibility with me is bankrupt. If you want to know any of my private matters in the future, it will be hard.”
Jiang Tea Tea raised a hand and cut him off: “Hey, you’re so ugly you hurt my eyes. I won’t be interested in your private life.”
“Of course, you must be curious why I suddenly asked you if you had ever stayed at First Hotel and in which room.”
“I can reluctantly tell you: someone asked me to ask you.”
A sharp light flashed through Chong Ming’s golden eyes. He bent his waist a little and leaned closer to her: “Schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea, was it really someone else who asked you, or was it you yourself?”
Jiang Tea Tea was a Great Demon Stage. She had seen all kinds of situations. How could she be afraid of him or be tricked by him?
What a joke.
She met his golden eyes directly, without a trace of fear: “Commander in Chief Chong Ming, you told me before that you have the top tier information engineers in the whole interstellar space. If you want to investigate me, you can even find out what color socks I’m wearing.”
“But I still want to tell you: there is always someone better than you, and a sky beyond the sky. Otherwise, you wouldn’t still be unable to find the person you are looking for.”
Before this, he kept asking her and testing her, pretending to look for someone else, but actually he was looking for her.
He wanted to find the person who slept with him that night.
As for why he wanted to find her, she didn’t know, but it definitely wasn’t for anything good.
Now that she had confirmed he was the dad of the cubs in her belly, she absolutely could not let him know the cubs existed, and absolutely could not let him know she was the one who had slept with him.
Chong Ming got the answer he wanted and straightened up: “Thanks. I’ll take you to find Jiang Yi Cheng.”
Jiang Tea Tea’s expression changed: “You were tricking me?”
Just now he really had been tricking her. He baited her on purpose, trying to get information out of her about that so-called woman who slept with him.
He thanked her because he was sure now that she knew where that woman was. All he had to do was keep a close eye on her.
[Heaven above, Mother Earth, she had already been so careful and still fell right into his trap. It really pissed her off.]
“Learned from you, Schoolmate Jiang Tea Tea,” Chong Ming tossed the words over his shoulder and walked off.
Jiang Tea Tea pulled out her branch staff and swung it at his back in a sneak attack: “Don’t learn from me. I’ve decided to beat you first!”
It was like he had eyes in the back of his head. Before her staff could land on his back, Chong Ming used teleportation to flicker away and appear behind her. He lifted his long leg and kicked toward her lower back and waist: “What a coincidence. I also want to beat you, you little liar full of nonsense!”
