"Isn't this your own fault? Can't you put on some clothes?"
Luo Qingcheng put down the basin and quickly went over to help Zhang Xiaorui button up her clothes.
Why are you all so wary of me?
"I'm not a pervert."
Lu Yuan felt somewhat wronged. He was a little hungry, after all, he had killed so many monsters and zombies that morning, and his physical strength had been greatly depleted.
As for other things, we'll talk about them after we've eaten.
"Pah! You're a pervert, the biggest pervert in the world!"
Lu Yuan was unconcerned about Luo Qingcheng's slander.
Just when all three were absolutely certain that Lu Yuan would do something strange, the latter sat down, picked up his chopsticks, and began to eat heartily.
This completely shattered Luo Qingcheng and Qian Simin's worldview; it's illogical.
As the saying goes, anything unusual must be suspicious. The two exchanged a glance and then sat down as if guarding against a thief.
"Xiao Rui, your health isn't good enough. Maybe you shouldn't come with me tomorrow..."
Lu Yuan was interrupted by Zhang Xiaorui halfway through his sentence.
"No, I want to go with you!"
"Don't even think about getting rid of me, or next time I'll bite your thing off when you're not looking!"
Lu Yuan jolted awake and quickly squeezed his legs together.
Then he realized, it shouldn't break, right?
He now possesses a dual S-rank physique, coupled with rock-like skin, so it's possible his teeth might break.
Lu Yuan thought with a wicked sense of humor.
"Knock knock knock!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door!
"You guys eat first, I'll go see who it is!"
This is Qian Simin's home, so it was perfectly appropriate for her to get up and open the door.
Qian Simin went to the door, looked through the peephole, and then opened the door.
"Greetings, Major General Qian!"
"I'm here to report for duty!"
Qian Simin doesn't know Cui Ning, but Cui Ning definitely knows Qian Simin.
Qian Simin nodded, gesturing for Cui Ning to come in.
Although she didn't know Cui Ning, Lu Yuan had mentioned her to him yesterday, so she knew who he was after a little thought.
Cui Ning approached Lu Yuan.
"I'm here to report for duty!"
Lu Yuan ignored him and continued eating.
"I'm here to report for duty!"
After finishing the last bite of rice, Lu Yuan wiped his mouth and asked, feigning surprise:
"Are you talking to me?"
Cui Ning nodded.
How long have you been in the army?
Cui Ning answered five years.
Lu Yuan nodded.
"Five years, that's a long time."
"Don't you know how to bow or address someone as 'sir'?"
"You came to report for duty, but did you tell me who you are and who you report to? Or is this how your instructor taught you?"
Lu Yuan's series of questions left Cui Ning completely bewildered.
But she couldn't refute it; she had indeed been rude, mainly because of her previous bad impression of Lu Yuan, but that wasn't an excuse.
These military salutes and rules must not be abandoned.
"My position is brigade commander, and my rank is major general."
"As a veteran, he didn't even know to salute me."
"I'm giving you two choices: either go back and salute again, or go back to where you came from. I don't need such ill-mannered soldiers."
Tears welled up in Cui Ning's eyes as she was being scolded.
She has always been the best soldier, and others say so, and she herself believes so too.
But today she was insulted like this by someone who is probably not even as old as her.
She desperately wanted to turn around and leave, but her stubbornness led her to choose...
So she took a few steps back, then stepped forward.
"Report!"
"Unit xx, Cui Ning reporting for duty! Requesting instructions, sir!"
Cui Ning shouted these words, tears welling up in his eyes.
Luo Qingcheng couldn't bear to watch any longer and quickly handed a tissue to Cui Ning.
"Alright, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Sit down and have something to eat with us!"
At this point, Qian Simin stepped forward to smooth things over.
"I'm not hungry!"
Cui Ning is still making a last-ditch effort.
"Sit down and eat!"
Cui Ning was startled by Lu Yuan's voice and quickly sat down on the stool. Qian Simin had already brought over a bowl of rice.
It was handed to Cui Ning!
Cui Ning choked up as she said "thank you," then secretly glanced at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan remained silent until Cui Ning finished her bowl of rice, at which point he finally asked a question.
"No, are you asking me to wait for us at the city gate tomorrow morning?"
"Why are you here so soon?"
Cui Ning swallowed the food in her mouth with force and prepared to stand up to reply, but this time Lu Yuan stopped her.
"Commander Huang asked me to come ahead of time. He said..."
Lu Yuan interrupted Cui Ning directly.
"You'll sleep on the sofa tonight, and don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary!"
After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he went straight into the room.
"Um, don't blame him."
"Actually, he's doing this for your own good. Going to another world is very dangerous, and he doesn't want you to go, so you should understand."
Luo Qingcheng ultimately decided to offer an explanation.
Cui Ning nodded, then said in a stubborn tone:
“I know he looks down on me, and I also know he’s very capable.”
"But I've never seen it with my own eyes. This time, I just want to see for myself just how strong he really is!"
Luo Qingcheng didn't say anything more; stubborn people can be really a headache sometimes.
In the afternoon, Lu Yuan killed another wave of monsters, and because Cui Ning was there in the evening, he didn't go on any more outrageous acts.
The next morning, a group of five people, fully prepared, appeared on the East Gate city wall.
Looking at the densely packed demonic beasts below the city, Cui Ning felt a chill run down his spine.
At this moment, Luo Qingcheng quietly tugged at Cui Ning's arm:
"You wanted to see just how strong he really was, right? Well then, you'd better watch closely!"
Cui Ning was taken aback.
No way, would those five people just charge straight to the Great Rift?
That's practically suicide!
Just as Cui Ning was feeling somewhat suspicious, Lu Yuan spoke up.
"Qingcheng, protect Xiaorui; Simin, protect Cuining."
"Commander Huang, once the monsters stop pouring out of the great rift, it means we have succeeded, and you can begin your counterattack."
"If we fail, Mayor Huang, please take good care of Taotie City in the future."
Huang Weisheng nodded.
Regardless of whether Lu Yuan succeeds or not this time, he deserves my respect.
Lu Yuan didn't waste any more words. He summoned the Azure Dragon Blade, leaped off the city wall, and roared:
"Azure Dragon Slash!"
"Xiao Rui, hold on tight."
After Luo Qingcheng finished speaking, she hugged Su Xiaorui tightly and rushed down with Lu Yuan.
Qian Simin was in the same situation. Fortunately, although Cui Ning's level was not high, he was still a Spirit Master.
"Pets, come out here!"
Lu Yuan summoned all his pets at once without holding back. The people on the city wall were fine, as they had seen this lineup more than once before.
But Cui Ning was indeed seeing it for the first time.
She had heard people say more than once that Lu Yuan was very powerful and had a monster army.
But she never imagined that one person could summon so many magical beasts, which completely shattered her worldview.
