Chapter 26: Picture Zero and Two Fools
Originally, they were excited, nervous and eager to participate in the battle against the Jafa Divine Group, but Beichen and Glenshe's wishes were dashed.
When they arrived at the base Glenshe mentioned, which was located in the suburbs of the capital, they only saw a dilapidated wooden house with traces of fighting everywhere, but there was no sign of life at all. When they walked in, they saw that it was indeed a messy and dilapidated scene, and the house was already empty.
Walking out the door, Beichen looked up at the big wooden house behind him.
"Perhaps they've been attacked by the punitive army. Their intelligence should be sharper than ours."
"whispering sound."
Mad Dog spat unhappily, turned around and walked back, and Beichen hurriedly followed.
"So...what do we do next? Go back?"
Mad Dog walked a few steps and then stopped, but remained silent for a long time.
Beichen took a few steps forward in confusion, and then heard a small gurgling sound that seemed to come from his stomach.
She nodded in sudden realization: So I was hungry.
"Well, since we're already out, why don't we go find a place near the hotel to eat? I think I'm a little hungry."
Since Kuang Dog refused to speak, she cooperated and offered it.
Sure enough, the old man in front of him immediately had his eyes lit up and nodded vigorously - but then Beichen immediately thought of another problem. It seemed that all her money was thrown into Xiang Ying's storage space before leaving the city.
So she had no choice but to raise her hand:
"...But I don't have any money. How about I summon the twins over? They should have something in their space—"
"No need to bother."
Glenshe rarely said a few more words, then bent down, picked up a few small stones on the ground, and then threw them towards the dark bushes, trees, and well behind Beichen - like throwing hidden weapons!
Puff! Snap! Crash!
In the blink of an eye, a person fell from the tree, and a person rolled out from the bushes and behind the well. Although they appeared in different locations, they all rolled on the ground with their hands covering their foreheads.
Kuang Gou rushed forward and grabbed the person closest to him and Beichen: "Take out the money."
Beichen on the side staggered instantly: "Shouldn't you ask "Why are you following us?"?
"……What did you say?"
Obviously frightened and shocked by Glenshe's actions, the guy in black, who was obviously not a normal person, covered his forehead and stared at him for a while - it seemed that the blow was very fierce, and his entire forehead was swollen.
"Shut up! I told you to take out the money!!"
Before the other party could answer, Mad Dog became impatient. He picked up the other party's ankle and shook it hard a few times. Several gold coins, a dagger (which did not seem to be a weapon), and strange small bottles and pills fell to the ground with a jingle.
Beichen twitched his lips:
"...It's really not a simple identity. Who asked you to follow me?"
“…”
The other party was so frightened by Glenshe that he rolled his eyes, but his face turned purple and he refused to say anything - probably because he thought the consequences would be terrible if he said it.
"Forget it," Beichen picked up a gold coin on the ground helplessly. "I won't pursue the matter this time. But go back and tell your boss to stop having people follow me."
I've already lost him once, is he going to be caught this time? Thinking of his miserable future, the man in black simply rolled his eyes and fainted.
"Walk."
Glenshe threw the other person to the ground and pulled Beichen away - as for the other two, they probably ran as far as they could.
Ten minutes later, the two sat facing each other in the dining area of a pastry shop. In front of Glen She's table were more than a dozen plates of small cakes of various colors, many of which were pink and strawberry flavored.
“…”
Beichen twitched his lips as he watched him eat the desserts quickly with a knife and fork with an expressionless face: Not to mention his love for sweets, how did he maintain such a good figure with such a large calorie intake!
But then again, he's the strongest warrior of the Tuling tribe, so the calories he burns shouldn't be a big deal. Just as Beichen was comforting himself like this, the guy opposite him had already eaten the last one, then leaned back on the sofa, closed his eyes, and began to doze off!
Sleeping right after eating, aren't you afraid of turning into a pig?! How do you make those girls who work so hard every day to lose weight feel?!
Beichen smiled bitterly at the person opposite who had started snoring softly, and handed over the gold coin to pay the bill amid the waitress's subtle smile.
"Um...Mr. Glenshe, should we leave...?"
She whispered a reminder, but the other party obviously didn't hear it.
"Mr. Glenn She, it's very late. We're about to close."
Still motionless.
Beichen had no choice but to stand up and walk around the table, reaching out her hand to wake him up - but Glen She had already quickly grabbed her wrist and pulled it down, then raised her leg to hold it down!
"Wow?!"
Beichen screamed, and when she came to her senses, she found herself inexplicably pressed down on the sofa by him - and the man who was holding her from above - even had his eyes half closed!
"Aa ...
The waitress screamed ambiguously in a tone that lacked sincerity, and while covering her eyes, she tried desperately to peek through a gap between her fingers.
The vein on Beichen's forehead twitched.
"Glenshe!!"
“So annoying!”
Mad Dog's eyes finally widened a little. He looked at Beichen who was pressed on the sofa by him. After staring at him for more than ten seconds, he suddenly said "hmm" and nodded.
"Easy delivery type."
"Safe delivery type, you idiot, what on earth did you see!!!!!!!!!!"
Beichen suddenly struggled on the sofa with her hair standing on end. Even Glenshe was frightened by her angry expression (?), and then let her go. She jumped out and stepped back a few steps, staring at him and panting.
But Glenshe obviously didn't understand why she was mad. A figure flashed behind her, and without changing his expression or heartbeat, he touched her butt in public, and then glared back at her impatiently.
"It's definitely a safe birth. Why are you squeaking?"
"Your whole family will have a safe birth if you give birth safely!!"
"My whole family did have a safe birth, what's wrong?"
“I&*%…%%￥￥)(*&…!!!!!!…You, you you! Give me back my ass!!!────No! Give me back my ass’s innocence!!…No no! Give me back my ass’s innocence!!”
Everyone in the store looked on with sympathy as Beichen, who had completely lost his mind, beat his chest and stamped his feet in front of Glenshe. However, Glenshe was obviously annoyed and didn't understand the reason for her anger, so he went straight up and punched her lightly in the stomach. Although it was a light punch, it almost knocked out the snack she had just eaten. The pain made her fall silent, holding her stomach and breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Hey, hey, isn't this a bad idea?" one of the cake makers who was watching the fun whispered, "How can you be so rude to your girlfriend?"
"Yeah, yeah, if she gets hit by that punch, maybe the baby will be gone."
"Oh?" Kuanggou looked down at Beichen who was squatting on the ground, "You have a child?"
“…How is this possible?!…Ugh…Ugh…Ugh…Ugh…I’m so sick…I’m going to throw up…”
Mad Dog sweatdropped at the cake maker who had just spoken: "...Is she going to give birth?"
"What kind of human being can spit out a child?!!!!"
"Forget it, if you want a miscarriage, then have one. If it doesn't work, I'll compensate you."
"I'm asking you to pay me back! And don't look like you're being forced to eat leftover food! I'm not some expired yogurt that no one wants!"
"So annoying! Why eat cake when you're pregnant?"
"Just tell me when I got pregnant!!!!!"
"You're so long-winded!"
The taciturn mad dog had completely lost his patience. He carried Beichen's curled-up body on his shoulders like a bag of rice, and swaggered out of the cake shop under the fascinated gazes of the waiters - and then carried her back to the hotel amid Beichen's helpless protests.
Xiang Ying came forward first:
"Master, you're back so soon—Hey, what's wrong? You look so ugly—"
Glenn She immediately interrupted:
"It wasn't my fault I had a miscarriage."
"You are definitely trying to cover up your mistake! You are definitely trying to cover up your mistake! I'm telling you I didn't—"
"What did you say?! Little Loach?!"
"Impossible! With Little Loach's flat body, no one else would want her except us!"
"Master...I didn't take good care of you!! Don't worry, I'll go find that heartless man right away──"
"Don't really believe that! There's no such thing as a heartless person!"
"Well, Beichen's stomach contains acidic fluid and some excrement, but no other signs of life."
“…Atlas…Even if there’s excrement in a lady’s belly, don’t tell anyone about it…”
Beichen jumped off Glenshe's shoulder in frustration, gave him a hateful look, then turned around to comfort his own war machine and Atlas.
"Anyway, we came back empty-handed. ... We were so tired."
Although there was no fighting, it was more physically and mentally exhausting than fighting!!
Beichen took a few steps back with an embarrassed look on his face:
"I'll go book another room."
Glen She turned to look at her, then nodded: "It will be recorded in Xia's blood account."
"Oh, okay—wait, what did you say?! Xiaxue?!"
Everyone's expressions, including Beichen, immediately became serious - Xiang Ying and Gemini both knew why Beichen came to this world.
The culprit has disappeared for such a long time, has he finally appeared in front of them on his own initiative?
"Glenshe, could you please tell me what happened in detail? Do you know Xiaxue?"
"I don't know him. We just met for the first time yesterday."
"Then why—?"
"He made a bet with me, and I lost, so I did what he asked me to do."
"What did he ask for...?"
"You. He asked me to do special training for you."
“…”
Beichen suddenly fell silent, and Xiang Ying's face turned pale. The twins on the side gave him worried looks at the same time.
"What does Xiaxue mean? Do you want Little Loach's strength to improve dramatically in a short period of time?"
"It seems like he really wants her to win the competition. He even set a trap for Crazy Dog to help Little Loach improve his abilities."
The more Gemini spoke, the uglier Xiang Ying's expression became. Later, he even lowered his head and clenched his fists so hard that they made a loud noise.
Beichen noticed his abnormal behavior and worriedly pulled his hand to pry open his clenched fingers:
"Xiang Ying, what's wrong with you?"
"...No, it's nothing, Master."
"Impossible! Is there something you can't tell me?"
“…”
Xiang Ying didn't say anything, just lowered her eyes and bit her lips tightly.
"Beichen, I have a question for Stupid Ying."
Black Disaster rarely called her name and gently placed his hands on her shoulders: "If you can only choose one between Xiang Ying and Xia Xue, who would you choose?"
"Of course it's Xiang Ying. I'm not familiar with Xia Xue." Bei Chen answered without hesitation, then asked in surprise, "Why do you ask that, Black Disaster?"
Xiang Ying's expression improved a little, but the look in his eyes became more complicated.
"It's like this." Su Jie sighed and poked Xiang Ying's shoulder. "It's a great insult to a human to sign two weapons of the same kind. This is the biggest taboo between humans and weapons. Xiang Ying and Xia Xue both wield long swords, so you can only choose one between the two of them."
"I see."
No wonder Xiang Ying's face suddenly turned so bad. Xiaxue was so optimistic about Beichen that he started to worry that he was being abandoned - after all, the difference in strength between the two was too great.
Looking at Xiang Ying's face, Beichen thought for a while, then clapped his hands as if he had figured it out, and turned to look at Glenshe.
"I'm sorry. I can reserve a room for you. After all, you're a member of my clan who has done me a favor. But I won't have to offer special training. I admit you're strong, and I look forward to your guidance. But since Xiaxue is involved—for Xiangying's sake, I can't accept this favor."
Xiang Ying raised his head suddenly: "Master! This is——"
Glen She frowned in confusion: "Don't you want to become stronger?"
"Yes! I'll train myself differently! So, please go back and tell Xiaxue that I'm sorry, but I can't accept this offer. If I accept your special training, it would be like admitting that I want Xiaxue's contract rights, which is a disguised insult to my family's war weapon. I absolutely won't do that."
"……good."
Unexpectedly, Glenshe agreed easily and nodded with satisfaction.
"Although it's fake, you do have the awareness of a Tu Zero warrior. That's good."
“…Huh?”
Glenn She didn't answer, but turned around and ran to the sofa to take a nap.
Beichen sighed, pulled Xiangying's hand soothingly, and gave the other a wry smile.
"Master, I'm certainly happy that you value me so much, but you have to understand that Xiaxue's combat prowess is simply beyond my reach."
"Yeah, I know."
Beichen nodded.
"That's why I don't want it. Putting your question aside, even if I didn't have a longsword, I wouldn't want it. With great power comes great responsibility. If Xiaxue were by my side, I'd be exhausted just dealing with all the bad guys rushing towards me. And fighting... I'd be even more restricted because of my immense power. One careless move could lead to an unmanageable situation."
She said this while shaking her head vigorously.
"I'm not someone who can control the rosy blood, so don't try to eat the swan meat without considering your own abilities. Furthermore, the weapons around me are irreplaceable to me, even if they're of the same type."
"Owner……"
Xiang Ying sighed softly, the corners of his mouth curling up in a forced smile. Hei Huo and Su Jie didn't try to persuade him—they knew that any words they said would be futile. As members of the extremely high-growth, top-grade Ye Yue Clan, they couldn't understand Xiang Ying's feelings, despite his mediocre qualities and his inability to advance.
"Okay, okay, it's late, everyone should rest - eh?"
Beichen suddenly turned around and looked around.
"Where's Xiao Peng?"
"Oh, he's next door, sorting out some blueprints. Should we go call him?"
"No, let's talk about it tomorrow."
After stretching, Beichen started to go to the bathroom.
"Owner!"
Xiang Ying's voice sounded behind her:
"Master—I will find a way to become stronger. I will definitely—any way will do. I will…find a way to become stronger!"
"Don't worry, it's my job to make you stronger, don't be so stubborn."
Beichen walked back and patted Xiangying's shoulder soothingly. Only after the latter gave her a relieved smile did she turn around and walk into the bathroom with a sigh of relief.
And just a second after she turned around, Xiang Ying looked at her back, and a hint of ruthless determination flashed in his eyes.
This detail was naturally not missed by Gemini, but they could only watch the seed of anxiety being planted, because they had no right to interfere - and could not interfere.
Atlas on the side looked at this, then looked at that, tilted his head inexplicably at the oppression in the air, then turned and walked towards the bathroom.
"Hey, you over there, stop right there!"
"You want to peek, damn tail? No way!!"
"Yeah, if you want to peek, you have to get the owner's permission!"
"I think no one would agree to that kind of thing..."
The atmosphere heated up due to Atlas' unintentional actions. While several people were pulling and joking with each other, on the sofa on the side, the mad dog Glen She opened his eyes and cast an emotionless look in the direction of Xiang Ying.
