Chapter 52

After Meng Xun left, Ji Huai relaxed all of a sudden, looking completely weak and frail. He walked around the sofa and came over to cling to Yun Piancheng, sticking his whole body to her.

Ji Huai raised his head, his clear black eyes gazing intently at Yun Piancheng, whose face was still a little pale, and asked with concern, "Yunyun, can I see how your wound is?"

"No." Yun Piancheng refused directly.

Although she sometimes wore shorts and the height of the wound was not high enough to become a private part that could not be exposed, Yun Piancheng couldn't help but feel a little strange when she thought that Ji Huai was looking at the inside of her thigh.

As for the many scars on his legs being exposed, there was no problem. As a commander and a soldier, these scars were not ugly, but an honor.

Ji Huai lowered his eyes, looking a little lost. His long eyelashes covered his eyes, making Yun Piancheng unable to see his expression.

"Are you still in pain, Yunyun? Let me see if I can buy some painkillers... I think they should sell them there."

From Ji Huai's perspective, looking at Yun Piancheng's thigh, he could only see the pants with a cut and soaked blood that had turned brown, and the honest wound covered with blood.

The blood clot was very thick and about seven or eight centimeters long. I don't know if the bones were injured.

Ji Huai was heartbroken as he saw his eyes starting to turn red again. Yun Piancheng was no good at coaxing people and could only divert their attention.

So Yun Piancheng said, "Go change your dirty clothes and take a shower, be good."

"...Okay." Ji Huai's voice was low, and he got up from Yun Piancheng's side quietly, trying his best not to involve Yun Piancheng, who was sitting upright on the sofa and looked as hard-hearted as a rock.

Although he has a self-cleaning function and only needs to change clothes without taking a shower, since Yunyun has spoken, he will go take a shower.

Yun Piancheng didn't move on the sofa, listening to the noise upstairs.

Ji Huai moved quickly. Before long, I heard his footsteps walking towards the bathroom, followed by the sound of water.

Somehow, the image of Ji Huai with wet hair and half-naked clothes appeared in Yun Piancheng's mind. He looked like he was ready to be picked, waiting for her favor.

She is really crazy, Yun Piancheng thought.

The wound on his leg was aching slightly, and it would conservatively take another day for it to heal completely. However, Yun Piancheng, who had mild mysophobia, had to take a shower.

She put her weight on her other leg and supported herself to stand up. She called Coffey to send two people to deal with the three remaining bodies in the house, and then slowly walked up the stairs.

By the time Yun Piancheng found a change of clothes, Ji Huai had already come out with wet hair. He had not wiped the water off his body. His home clothes fit his body curves tightly, showing off his figure.

This look inexplicably overlapped with the image that appeared in Yun Piancheng's mind, making her feel a little embarrassed. She shifted her gaze away from Ji Huai and walked away from him.

Ji Huai, who clearly sensed Yun Piancheng's emotions, would never let Yun Piancheng leave like that. He immediately reached out to grab Yun Piancheng, but he was afraid that he would use too much force and cause Yun Piancheng's wound to split.

Yun Piancheng frowned slightly and turned his head to look at Ji Huai.

Ji Huai showed an obedient expression at the right time, looked at Yun Piancheng seriously, and asked: "Yunyun...is it convenient for you to take a bath by yourself? Do you need my help?"

He swore that he had absolutely no other thoughts.

Yun Piancheng sneered in her heart, thinking that Ji Huai was challenging her ability. Her leg was not broken, and she was not unable to take a bath alone when her leg was broken before.

What's more, the wounds have already scabbed over. As long as you are careful not to let water get on the wounds, there will be no problem at all.

Considering that one shouldn't leave no way out for oneself, Yun Piancheng was silent for two seconds and replied: "I can do it myself. Let's talk about bathing and becoming partners first."

While Ji Huai was taking notes in his mind telling himself that they could take a bath together if they became partners, Yun Piancheng broke away from Ji Huai's hand, walked into the bathroom and locked the door.

The room was filled with scalding steam and was completely suffocated.

Yun Piancheng:.

Never mind, it's perfectly reasonable for monsters to not know what the normal water temperature is for humans to bathe in.

And Yun Piancheng was skeptical about Ji Huai's feeling of pain.

Two days later.

Mullin's office on the 21st floor of the Alliance Parliament Building in the Central City of the Capital Star.

Meng Xun stood in front of Mu Lin's desk, opposite him was Mu Lin who was sitting on a chair. His face was so gloomy that it seemed as if he would slam the table and order the extremely dishonest Meng Xun to be tortured to death by slicing in the next second.

"You mean... my people were completely wiped out after the battle with Yun Piancheng, and you were the only one who came back unscathed?" Mu Lin laughed out of anger, pulling the corner of his mouth to the side and then letting it go.

Meng Xun didn't think there was anything wrong with it. "Ma'am, I don't think I need to emphasize Yun Piancheng's strength. Using only four lives to kill her, I don't think this is a loss-making deal."

"I feel very sorry for their deaths."

Of course Mu Lin knew this, and he did doubt the body that Meng Xun brought back, but the testing department checked the genes and it was indeed Yun Piancheng himself.

Even when she got this result, she still couldn't believe that Yun Piancheng would die so easily - but compared with her own intuition, she believed more in the report given by the corpse in front of her.

"What's more..." Meng Xun's voice was deliberately prolonged, for fear that Mu Lin would not understand the hidden meaning of his words.

After receiving a glare from Mu Lin, Meng Xun changed the subject: "I'm the only one left for you, right?"

Meng Xun's face was completely devoid of the previous respect and seriousness. He smiled and said, "Don't forget why I joined you. We both get what we need. It was you who tried to break the contract. From what I know about you, it's common for you to burn bridges after crossing them."

"I believe my attitude towards you has been sincere enough. If you really think that I am a lieutenant general relying on the strength of the Zalai family, then I will have to re-evaluate your ability, ma'am."

Mu Lin's face was sullen, but her momentum remained undiminished. She snorted coldly, "Proceed as planned."

"Of course, I hope we can continue to cooperate." Meng Xun smiled, knowing that Mu Lin was helpless and had no choice.

On the distant planet X-176, the city square of Belu.

A huge virtual screen hangs above like a sky curtain, revealing the recipients of this conscription exemption.

Each conscription does not include underage interstellar people, people over 65 years old, and disabled people with disability certificates.

In addition, the Alliance will allocate military service exemption quotas to each planet in proportion to its population. The exemptions will be allocated by the person in power on the planet, and those who obtain the exemptions can be exempted from this military service.

Xi Lian would walk around the square with his men every day to maintain order. After all, even though the Red Scorpions were gone, there were still some other dishonest small organizations in Belu City, and they were probably ready to make a move.

Anyway, she is going to the front line, so it doesn't matter to her whether she reads the list or not.

She stared at the dark blue sky for a while, and after staring for too long, she felt a little sleepy and yawned lazily.

"Hey, Sister Xi Lian, please take a look at that list!" A girl quickly ran up to Xi Lian, with an indescribable weird look on her face. She was so excited that no one knew what she wanted to express.

Xi Lian raised an eyebrow: "What's so good about it? Can you give me immunity..."

"Fuck!" Xi Lian looked up and saw a name that looked extremely familiar.

Who wants to harm her!

Why is she the first on the exemption list!

Xi Lian's eyes widened involuntarily, and her brain seemed to be in a state of malfunction. It was the continuous vibration of the light brain on her left wrist that brought her back to consciousness.

The person who called was none other than Coffey, who should have been the first on the list.

"My lady! What are you doing!" Xi Lian answered the phone and didn't give Kofi any time to react. She just shouted loudly, determined to damage Kofi's ears.

Kefei's computer had built-in noise reduction and volume control functions, so she wasn't affected at all. She smoothed her hair and smiled at Xi Lian with a guilty conscience, "I'm going to the front this time."

"What a funny joke, haha." Xi Lian laughed dryly twice, but her expression gradually collapsed in front of Kofi's unshakable virtual image.

Seeing Kofi remained silent for a long time, a feeling of despair washed over Xi Lian. She closed her eyes, unable to bear the thought: "You're not kidding."

"No, why?" Xi Lian opened his eyes and frowned, "I've been there several times. I have many ways to protect myself and I'm relatively familiar with the army. Why are you..."

"I'm going to find Er'er myself, Xi Lian." Coffey smiled.

Xi Lian was even more confused: "But there's no need for you to let me stay, Miss. I can protect you, or I can go with you to look for it."

"Er Er is also a very important person to me!"

"I know, Xi Lian. First of all, Cheng Yun will go with me. Are you still worried about her protecting me?" Ke Fei, still smiling, threw out a candidate that Xi Lian had no way of questioning, and then issued a new task, "While I'm away, until my father returns from his travels, Belu City will be handed over to you and Qin Yin."

"I know she's not from here, but her personality and abilities complement yours. She's also someone I trust and someone Er Er has recognized. If the Red Scorpions fall, there will be other organizations. The city needs someone to take charge, and you're the most suitable person."

"Miss...I..."

Xi Lian was interrupted again by Kofi: "Let me be willful for a moment, Xi Lian. Actually, I've been secretly training and practicing with my spear for a long time, just to find an opportunity to go find her in person. I owe her a life, and I must bring her back in person, whether she's dead or alive."

"Don't discuss this anymore. I won't listen."

The communication was cut off by Coffey.

Xi Lian gritted his teeth and glared at the list of exempted persons resentfully. It was the first time he hated his own name so much.

The eldest lady's mission must be completed. Xi Lian took a deep breath, used internal authority to search for Qin Yin's light computer account, and sent a friend request.

On the other side, Nanyang was not yet an adult and did not need to worry about military service. He just stayed at home and browsed his computer. He was caught off guard by a picture that Leah sent him.

[Liya]: My sister’s name is not on it!

Nanyang opened his eyes wide and looked through it carefully.

The list of exempted persons is not very long, because the population of Belu City itself is not very large, so there are naturally not many places allocated.

But in just one minute she finished reading the entire list and was horrified to confirm one fact - Cheng Yun was going to join the army.

She dialed the number right there and started howling.

"Sister! Sister! How can I live without you? I haven't finished learning everything you taught me! Aren't you very familiar with Sister Kofi? You asked her to exempt you!!"

Yun Piancheng:.

So noisy.

"Kofi is going too. Do you have anything else to do?" Yun Piancheng went straight to the point.

Nanyang gasped and choked up, "When I go to Belu City, things are going to change. Woohoo, you must come back safely."

"Sister, do you remember the three months you promised me? If you break your promise and don't come back, I will avenge both of you. No, I won't accept this!"

"Don't fall behind in training. Wait for me to come back and check on you."

Yun Piancheng searched his vocabulary and used all his life's tenderness to comfort Nanyang.

Unexpectedly, Nanyang burst into tears and said, "Sister, please don't set a flag. I'm scared..."

Yun Piancheng:.

hang up.

Ji Huai turned over and hugged Yun Piancheng's waist, rubbing his furry head against her sensitive waist.

"Sleep a little longer, Yunyun..." Ji Huai muttered, his voice so soft that it almost made Yun Piancheng do something unjust in the early morning when accidents were likely to happen.

Fortunately, her heart is as strong as iron.

Yun Piancheng felt heartbroken when talking about this.

Ji Huai was too clingy last night. He cried, clung to her, and acted like a spoiled child. He stuck to her and said that it was his last night in Belu City and he wanted to sleep with her.

Yun Piancheng reasonably suspected that every action and every word of his had been rehearsed, otherwise how could she be so unable to refuse? She reluctantly agreed to let Ji Huai return to her room. Fortunately, Ji Huai did not do anything out of line, otherwise the situation would have been out of control.

However, with Ji Huai by her side, Yun Piancheng slept particularly soundly.

Yun Piancheng couldn't tell whether it was luck or disaster for a person to be accompanied by a monster in his future as a lone traveler.

At least at this stage, both parties are very satisfied.

Come into my world, Ji Huai.

Yun Piancheng gently patted Ji Huai's increasingly thick shoulders.

Bellew Prison.

This is the eighth day that Lin has been imprisoned here.

She lived alone in a single room. There was a new round-cornered table in the room with paper and pen on it. Lin asked Kofi for it, saying that she wanted to write something.

There was a small TV hanging in the northwest corner of the room, which was broadcasting live the list of immunity recipients in the city square. Lin knew that the next step of the plan was beginning.

Lin dragged the chain to the table, where the paper was filled with her report to the lady, written stroke by stroke.

Picking up the paper, Lin gently touched the words on it, and scenes of herself being adopted, trained, and then obeying the lady's orders to carry out tasks appeared in front of her eyes.

What has she been doing these years? Lin doesn't know.

A lady will personally eliminate those she hates. A lady’s goal is her goal, and a lady’s mission is her code of conduct.

Having failed in her mission, she will now lose all her value and eligibility to follow the lady.

Lin took out a new piece of paper, took a pen, and walked to the bottom of the surveillance camera - it was a narrow blind spot for the surveillance camera, but it was just right for her to put down her empty shell.

She bent her knees and slowly sat down. Her wrists and ankles were rubbed sore by the metal chains, but her expression did not change at all.

Staying in this white room every day will make even your soul empty.

Lin rubbed the tip of the pen with her fingers, lowered her eyes, and didn't know what she was thinking.

After a while, she gripped the pen, thrust the tip hard into her jugular artery, and then quickly pulled it out.

Bright red blood immediately spurted out, staining the newly brought paper red and almost melting in the blood.

Ms. Mullin, my name is Lynn Kirk, and I'm ashamed that this mission has failed.

I will sacrifice my life and my last blood to you, and I will follow you forever - as a loser, I hope you will not despise me.

Lin closed her eyes.

Click.

The pen rolled to the ground.
