Chapter 155 Shen Jiaojiao is overdoing it
Xiao Li's lazy and nonchalant voice seemed to echo in the military tent, lingering for a long time, making Shen Jiaojiao feel a burning sensation on her face, as if she had been slapped on the head.
The next second, Shen Jiaojiao stood up abruptly, her fists clenched, her voice becoming shrill and thin with shame and indignation.
"Captain Xiao, what do you mean by that? You should have learned about my awakened superpower from Colonel Huang. Even he wouldn't dare to be so rude to me. Are you sure you want to talk to me like this?"
Xiao Li frowned, his expression changed, and his gaze towards Chen Jiaojiao became more piercing.
He suddenly stood up, his tall stature creating a powerful and imposing presence, causing Shen Jiaojiao to involuntarily take a few steps back.
"What are you going to do?" Shen Jiaojiao clutched her thick cotton-padded coat tightly, her eyes filled with fear.
Lin Muyan forgot to chew when she saw this, holding her breath and staring at the two people on the screen.
Seriously? Colonel Xiao is going to hit a woman?
It was clear that Xiao Li had only so much patience; the veins on his forehead were visibly bulging, and his fists were clenched tightly.
If that fist, as big as a sandbag, were to smash into Shen Jiaojiao's face, tsk tsk tsk...
[Let alone Colonel Xiao, even I was getting impatient. Shen Jiaojiao is far too arrogant and conceited; I really want to punch her a couple of times.]
[Colonel Xiao, go ahead and do it! We won't go around telling everyone about you hitting women!]
[Is Shen Jiaojiao scared now? Wasn't she very arrogant just now?]
Xiao Li clenched his fists, holding back for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold snort and pointed at the tent gate, saying:
"It seems we have nothing to discuss. Please, Miss Shen."
He felt that if he didn't kick the person out soon, he would really break his principle of not hitting women.
I've met those rich heiresses before, and even if they throw tantrums, they're never as arrogant and domineering as Shen Jiaojiao. Everyone tries to appear dignified and proper in front of others.
Xiao Li was also surprised that awakening a spatial ability would make this woman so arrogant. Or was she just this kind of person all along?
In comparison, Miss Lin, who possesses fire-type superpowers, is practically an angel. Not only is she powerful, but she is also very humble and low-key.
Xiao Li felt that he should seriously consider inviting awakened individuals to join him.
When recruiting team members, character and integrity should be the top priority, followed by ability and skills.
No matter how strong or rare a power is, if it's paired with a pig-brain or a person with extremely bad character, it's simply a disaster.
Shen Jiaojiao didn't expect the other party to be so unfriendly to her, and directly gave her the order to leave. Furious, she suddenly walked back to the folding chair and sat down.
"I'm not leaving. Captain Xiao, you're insulting me. I have to get an explanation."
Lin Muyan: ?
Comments: [...]
Xiao Li clenched his fists again, his eyelids twitching wildly. Now he not only wanted to kill Shen Jiaojiao, but also wanted to punch himself twice.
He's such a jerk, why did he have to invite this person in?
He had already heard her arrogant words in the military tent and should have guessed that this woman was not very good.
Lin Muyan chuckled. This Shen Jiaojiao was quite interesting. Even though the other party was being so impolite, she actually wanted to rise to the challenge.
[Going after a man? Interesting. So Shen Jiaojiao likes this feeling.]
She seems to enjoy conquering others; the more Colonel Xiao acts indifferent towards her, the more excited she becomes.
[What are you talking about? Don't be so ridiculous. I think she just can't stand the humiliation of being looked down upon and is trying to regain her sense of superiority.]
Xiao Li gritted his teeth, sat down again, and his tone was now even colder than before.
"What does Miss Shen wish to do?"
Shen Jiaojiao puffed out her chest, looking very confident, and said to Xiao Li:
"Don't you really want to invite me to join your Crouching Dragons team? You know, even your colonel personally came to invite me."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Li, Lin Muyan who was spying on the screen, and all the viewers in the live chat were speechless once again.
Lin Muyan twitched the corner of her mouth. Was this Shen Jiaojiao really that abstract? Who gave her the courage?!
Haha, you even got the team name wrong, who are you trying to laugh at?
[I never realized before that Shen Jiaojiao's skin was so thick, even thicker than the white powder that the village beauty smears on her face!]
[Holy crap, if Colonel Xiao can tolerate this, then he's incredibly patient...]
Xiao Li took a deep breath, and the image of Miss Lin in his mind rose even higher in comparison.
He suppressed the urge to throw a punch and said with a forced smile, "Miss Shen, what do you want me to do? Yes, I am indeed interested in your spatial abilities, but since you are already planning to go to Huang Zhen's place, I certainly cannot take away what belongs to someone else."
Shen Jiaojiao didn't notice that Xiao Li addressed Colonel Huang by his full name; she only heard the flattery and raised her chin again.
She knew it! What was he pretending for? How could he possibly be indifferent to her rare superpower?
Shen Jiaojiao's mind raced, and she suddenly had an idea. Actually, refusing Colonel Huang's offer and accepting Captain Xiao's offer to join his team wasn't out of the question.
As a colonel, Colonel Huang couldn't control the other party from the start.
But Captain Xiao in front of her is different. He has a low military rank, and she might soon surpass him and become his superior.
Thinking of this, Shen Jiaojiao suddenly felt a surge of emotion and twisted her body.
"How about this, I'll give you a chance. Invite me again, and I might consider joining your Wolong team."
Xiao Li: My ass, the Crouching Dragons team, I'm the Hidden Dragons team!
However, Xiao Li had already seen through Shen Jiaojiao's true nature and didn't want to waste any more words with her.
After a moment of contemplation, he said:
"How about this, Miss Shen, demonstrate your special ability to me, and then I'll consider whether or not to invite you."
Lin Muyan couldn't help but burst into laughter in front of the screen.
Xiao Li is quite interesting; their back-and-forth is truly fascinating.
Shen Jiaojiao's face contorted with anger, but she quickly regained her composure and prepared to slap Xiao Li hard in the face.
Xiao Li pointed to the ice block in the corner of the military tent and said:
“Miss Chen, put these ice blocks into your space right in front of me and let me see.”
Shen Jiaojiao turned her head and looked up, raising her chin: "What's so difficult about that?"
The next second, she easily stored the two large blocks of ice into her spatial storage.
Lin Muyan estimated that the two blocks of ice were about two cubic meters in size, which was quite large for ice used to cool down in the summer.
Xiao Li also made sure he didn't suffer at all, bringing over a lot of large blocks of ice to cool things down.
"Only two pieces? What about the rest? Can't you fit any more?"
Suddenly, Xiao Li's slightly sarcastic voice rang out, and Shen Jiaojiao choked, her face turning extremely ugly.
These ice blocks are square, and each one is one cubic meter in size.
Her space is only five cubic meters in total, and it already contains a lot of her personal belongings, so there's hardly any room left.
Seeing the troubled look on her face, Xiao Li frowned and said:
"Miss Shen, don't tell me your space is only two cubic meters?"
"How could that be! I have a five-cubic-meter personal space, don't underestimate me!"
Xiao Li opened his mouth, looking completely astonished.
Lin Muyan was speechless, and just kept stuffing chicken feet into her mouth.
Shen Jiaojiao has gone too far this time. She dares to look down on people with only five cubic meters of space. If she were given another five cubic meters, would she become a queen?
