Chapter 144 Final Preparations Before the Expedition
Bai Lingchen returned to the central star alone, sent Mellon back to rest, and finished dealing with the last things at the military headquarters. It was already past two in the morning. He rubbed his forehead, stood up, picked up his coat and prepared to go home.
At this moment, Jerry Daly, who was also still on duty, knocked on Bai Ben's door, which hadn't been closed yet. He asked knowingly, "Is the Admiral going home? It seems his master is a stickler, and the Admiral is anxious to get home and appease his master."
This sounded like a joke between good friends, but in fact it was saying that Nan Qi was not considerate of Bai, and that after Bai had a strong master, he was inevitably weak and constrained by a strong insect.
Bai sneered in his heart, but his face remained expressionless as he continued walking forward. When he passed Lieutenant General Jerry, he paused and turned back to look at him. "Since the Lieutenant General knows I'm busy going home, let's talk about it during the day. And..."
Bai looked at Lieutenant General Jerry, his eyes sharp as a knife. "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, should address me respectfully as sir and salute me, instead of lazily prying into your sergeant's family affairs. This is the first time, and I hope it won't happen again."
After he finished speaking, Bai turned around and strode forward, completely ignoring the dark face of Lieutenant General Jerry behind him.
We really gave him face, thinking that military affairs would be temporarily handed over to him and he would be the one making the decisions in the military. It was wishful thinking.
If he wasn't in a hurry to get home, he would never have let him go so easily this time. He really thought that Bai Smelliede was easy to bully.
After leaving the military building and getting into the aircraft, Bai did not start the aircraft immediately. Instead, he looked up at the office building and happened to see Jerry Daly standing in front of the window, looking at him with a cold expression. A sneer appeared on Bai's lips.
"You're really troublesome. You're also a variable, so I still have to control you." Bai muttered to himself, flicked his fingers lightly, and a dark blue butterfly flew out from between his fingers.
It circled Bai twice before flying out of the open window and blending into the night.
After doing all this, Bai Cai drove the aircraft out of the military headquarters. He had to go home quickly. Nan Qi would leave the central star this morning. Although they would meet again soon, he still didn't want to be separated from Nan Qi.
The thought of being separated from Nan Qi made him feel so empty that he even thought he was sick.
He shook his head, put these messy thoughts behind him, increased the speed of the aircraft to the fastest, and flew towards home at lightning speed.
As soon as he entered the aircraft parking lot in the basement of his house, he saw that in addition to Nan Qi's own aircraft, there was also a super-large, transformable, latest-model camping aircraft parked there.
Bai was surprised for a moment, then remembered who Nan Qi met in the afternoon and smiled in understanding.
"Am I awesome? This aircraft didn't cost a cent."
The voice came from the front. Bai turned his head and saw a tall figure walking in from the door connected to the villa.
The lights in the underground parking lot were not that bright, making the outline of the passing figure even deeper and more confusing.
"Why aren't you asleep yet?" Bai Qing couldn't help but walk towards the figure. When he got closer, he was embraced in a warm embrace.
"Of course I'm waiting for you. You must be exhausted. Come home quickly. I made you some chicken soup. It's just ready to drink now."
Nan Qi's voice was gentle and mellow, and Bai felt warm inside. He put his arms around Nan Qi's waist, buried his head in the crook of Nan Qi's neck, and greedily sniffed the unique scent of Nan Qi.
After a while, he raised his head, took the initiative to kiss Nan Qi, and showed a bright smile: "Thank you, thank you for waiting for me to come home."
Nan Qi: "What are you thanking me for? Isn't it my duty to wait for you to come home? You must be hungry. I made some chicken soup and will give it to you later."
After saying that, Nan Qi pulled Bai towards his villa.
Bai was pulled by Nan Qi, and his smile grew deeper. This was the first time he didn't hate going home in the middle of the night.
In the past, when he returned home in the middle of the night, he was always greeted by a cold, routine welcome home when the door opened, and a cold light that had no warmth at all.
What greeted him now was Nan Qi's smile and fragrant chicken soup. Even the cold light became softer because of Nan Qi's presence.
Bai thought that he would no longer hate going home in the middle of the night, because this place had become his real home, not just an empty house with that name.
He was led back home by Nan Qi, and then pushed by Nan Qi to take a shower and change clothes. When he came out, the first thing he smelled was the aroma of chicken soup, and when he looked up, he met Nan Qi's smiling eyes.
Nan Qi raised the tray in his hand and said, "Come and sit down. I made a bowl of chicken noodle soup and two cold dishes of your choice. After you eat the noodles, you can have a bowl of soup before going to sleep. While you eat the noodles, you can listen to what I talked about with Jody Collet."
"Are you blackmailing Jordy Collet?" Bai walked over and sat down, his voice a bit lazy, like someone relaxing after a shower. "I'm really curious how you got him to pay so willingly."
The message that Jordi Collet sent to Nan Qi did mention that "all expenses will be borne by His Majesty", but it was impossible for Nan Qi to spend 100 million yuan on normal expenses. If he remembered correctly, that camping aircraft cost 130 million yuan.
"Nothing. I didn't intend to blackmail him too much. It's his fault for trying to sow discord between us."
"Provoking a conflict between us? How?" Bai tutted. "What a coincidence! Today, another bug is trying to sow discord between us as well."
"Who is this? He's so fearless." Nan Qi raised his eyebrows. "Your colleague? Put him in a sack later."
Bai was amused. He suddenly remembered the male insect who had insulted Nan Qi for not being able to afford a flying machine. Not only had Nan Qi "forced" him into buying the most expensive flying machine, but he had also been "put in a sack" by Nan Qi, causing him to bump into walls when he walked. He didn't know if he had actually been bedridden at home for three days.
"Okay, when we're about to leave the central planet, I'll take you to put him in a sack." After thinking for a moment, he said, "We can really put him in a sack this time. He's a female, so there's no need to worry about the Star Brain calling the police."
Nan Qi also smiled, picked up a side dish for Bai with chopsticks, and watched Bai eat it happily. He felt very satisfied and continued to talk about what happened when he met Jordi Collet.
After hearing this, Bai's eyes widened slightly. After a few seconds, he gave Nan Qi a thumbs up and said, "Great! He turned the tables. I guess Jody Collet is heartbroken. The Insect King probably won't reimburse him for this money."
"Then I wish him good luck." Nan Qi shrugged. "Let's not talk about him anymore. We'll know what his intentions are in the next two days. How's things going on your side? Is everything settled?"
"Well, I've also finished my side. Oh, right, there's something I'd like to ask for your permission for." Bai put down his chopsticks, a rare look of nervousness, embarrassment, and guilt on his face. "That's right, I want to teach your technique to a respected senior. Can I?"
As if he was afraid that Nan Qi would overthink things, Bai spoke faster and explained, "He is General Milne Garcia of the military. In the past, when I went on expeditions, it was General Garcia who handled military affairs. With him at my side, I have nothing to worry about."
"But since last month, Admiral Garcia's mental power has been frequently turbulent, and the sedatives are no longer effective. I estimate that it won't be long before Admiral Garcia goes completely berserk and never regains consciousness."
"In his early years, he followed his teacher on many expeditions and accumulated a lot of military merit, so he never married. His mental power level is high S-level, and the mental power soothing officers in the army are not very effective in soothing him, so..."
"Of course!" Nan Qi held Bai's clenched fist and gently pried it open bit by bit. "Look, it's not a big deal. Just make your own decision. Since we are husband and wife, allies, and one, the bug who helped you is my friend. Of course I have to save a friend. You don't have to ask me."
"Well, how can that be possible...that's your thing." Bai said in a low voice, his face a little confused.
The spiritual body condensation method belongs to Nan Qi and also concerns Nan Qi's safety. How could he make the decision easily? It is good enough that Nan Qi agrees. He doesn't want to make Nan Qi angry.
Nan Qi felt distressed watching Bai like this. An imperial god of war, a hero who defended his country and possessed considerable political ability, if placed in his previous world, he would have been a true leader.
In this crappy world of male dominance and female inferiority, not only is he constrained at every turn, he also has to face all kinds of unfair treatment. Even when he wants to save a friend, he has to ask for his insect's consent, because he feels that the thing is not his.
Nan Qi knew that this was Bai's respect for him and that Bai had good character, but if he thought about it more deeply, wasn't this also a manifestation of Bai's inferiority complex?
Bai was afraid that if he acted on his own, he would get angry and hate him, but how could he bear to do that?
I have always instilled in Bai the idea of being proud and confident, and I also know that some personality traits cannot be changed overnight, so when I see Bai like this, my heart can't stop aching.
Sighing secretly, Nan Qi stood up and walked over to sit beside Bai, reaching out and pulling Bai into his arms: "Let's take Admiral Garcia with us this time. I will teach him personally. I hope I can pull him out of the depths of the riot."
Bai snuggled in Nan Qi's arms, listening to Nan Qi's steady heartbeat, and his uneasy heart calmed down. He had confidence in Nan Qi and the spirit body condensation method. Nan Qi would definitely be able to pull Admiral Garcia out.
In this way, even if they leave the central star, their influence in the military will not have to rely solely on the teacher to maintain it.
Having made up his mind, Bai was motivated and sent a message directly to General Garcia. Of course, he didn't explain what was going on, only that he needed General Garcia as a staff advisor and asked General Garcia to join him.
Within a minute, Admiral Garcia responded.
General Garcia: Bai, thank you for understanding me. It saved me from ending up in a sanatorium and dying in disarray. If I truly must die, I'd prefer it to be on the battlefield. But don't worry, I won't lose control anytime soon. Even if I do, I'll charge the enemy and won't cause any trouble for our side.
The not-so-long reply gave us a glimpse into the iron-blooded demeanor of this veteran in his youth. Nan Qi also came from an iron-blooded background and greatly admired players like Admiral Garcia.
Bai felt a little depressed after reading the reply, and he thought of many seniors.
Those predecessors, like Admiral Garcia, used their military achievements to compensate for their marriages. Without sufficient soothing agents and effective comfort, and coupled with the frequent use of mental power in combat, they all fell into the pain of mental turmoil before they were a hundred years old.
They also don't want to die in disgrace, but not everyone is "lucky" enough to encounter bandit suppression or war, and ultimately die in endless pain and disgrace.
"Okay, don't be sad, and don't worry about Admiral Garcia anymore." Nan Qi keenly noticed Bai's emotional ups and downs. He gently pinched the back of Bai's neck and lowered his voice, "I will try my best to cure him. When the time is right, we will announce the method of refining the spiritual body."
"This way, no one will have to suffer from mental turmoil anymore, and you won't have to deal with your comrades leaving you in an undignified manner."
"Nan Qi, you really are a god..." Bai suddenly raised his head and looked at Nan Qi cautiously.
He didn't expect that Nan Qi could see through the saddest emotions in his heart and comfort him accurately.
Ever since meeting Nan Qi, all the problems that have troubled female and even male insects for tens of thousands of years have had new solutions. Bai feels that if he really has to use that word to name Nan Qi, the word "God" would be more appropriate.
Nan Qi was touched by Bai's cautious look. He lowered his head and nuzzled Bai's nose, saying affectionately, "My Bai, what are you thinking? How could I be a god? Have you ever seen a god go down to the mine when he was injured? Don't worry, I won't fly away secretly."
"How come you see through my heart again?" Bai muttered softly, feeling sweet in his heart. His eyes looking at Nan Qi were full of love, like little hooks.
Nan Qi was instantly filled with anger when he was stared at like that. He tightened his arms around Bai's waist, as if to warn Bai, or as a reminder to himself: "Don't provoke me. You're going to the battle tomorrow, and I don't want you to be weak in front of your subordinates."
Bai did not answer. He suddenly stood up and stood facing Nan Qi. His eyes followed Nan Qi's face all the way down, finally fixing on a bulging point, revealing a meaningful smile.
Then, before Nan Qi could react, he pushed Nan Qi against the backrest of the double sofa, raised his foot and stepped directly on the sofa between Nan Qi's legs, leaned close to Nan Qi's ear, and lowered his voice very low:
"After today, until the complete suppression of bandits is complete, I really won't be able to fulfill my duties as a queen. Are you sure you want to be so considerate of me at this time?"
Bai's extremely aggressive gaze and uncharacteristic behavior were like a fire that made Nan Qi's blood boil.
He held Bai's ankle with one hand and pinched Bai's waist with the other. With a slight force, Bai was caught off guard and sat on his legs.
Nan Qi pressed Bai's entire body into his arms, lowered his head to kiss Bai's cheek, ears, and neck, then returned to Bai's ear and said with suppressed breaths, "I'm afraid I won't be gentle enough and embarrass you tomorrow, so tonight the rhythm is up to you. Whether it's light or heavy, it's all up to you."
Nan Qi's breath was so hot that it dyed Bai's face red and made Bai's courage, which he had inexplicably mustered, flow back. He buried his head in the crook of Nan Qi's neck, trying to escape this way, but he couldn't ignore the feeling of their bodies becoming increasingly compatible.
After a while, he suppressed his shame and raised his head, kissing Nan Qi's lips like a sacrifice.
The rest will fall into place.
That night, Bai threw away his shyness, like a fairy who had just learned magic, and was guided step by step from being awkward to being in control of the overall situation with ease.
He looked obsessively at Nan Qi's eyes that were dazed because of him, and his breathing that was controlled by him. The strange possessiveness and satisfaction deep in his heart reached its peak.
At the highest point, he suddenly lowered his head and bit Nan Qi's shoulder. After hearing Nan Qi groan, he fell limply into Nan Qi's arms.
After a long time, he looked up and gave Nan Qi a lingering kiss, then they smiled at each other, and Nan Qi carried him to take a second bath.
When everything was over, it was already dawn. Bai Qiang resisted the urge to sleep and set an alarm. He remembered that Nan Qi was going to Green Cloud Star on the starship at 3 pm, so he had to stay awake to see Nan Qi off.
Nan Qi held Bai in his arms, put his big hands on Bai's waist and back to press, relieving Bai's fatigue. He stopped only when he heard Bai's breathing become long and even.
Looking at Bai's sweet sleeping face, Nan Qi gently took Bai's Star Brain and turned off the alarm clock.
Bai was already tired enough, so there was no need for him to get up to send himself off. He couldn't send himself to the starship dock anyway, so he might as well get a good night's sleep.
After seeing all this last night, Nan Qi happily fell asleep with his arms around Bai's waist.
On the other side, Jody Collet also spent almost a sleepless night.
The 130 million camping aircraft Hoover Walker was still written off.
Perhaps feeling that he was one step closer to his goal, Hoover Walker was in a very good mood and did not use this excuse to trouble Jody Collet.
After a tender moment, Hoover Walker embraced Jody Collet and said tenderly, "You're smart. This time you go out, you must follow him closely. Give him the medicine I prepared every day. In three days, you will be able to bring him back without bloodshed."
Jody responded softly. Hoover lifted Jody's face, kissed her, and continued, "On your way back, there will be bugs to pick you up. You won't be in danger. When you come back, you will get everything I promised you, including my love."
Jody Collet suppressed his discomfort and responded tenderly. He listened to Hoover Walker talk for a while about how brilliant the deployment was before he stood up and left.
Hoover Walker did not stop him. He drove Jody Collet out of the palace in his own car, then got up and went to his newly appointed Lord May palace and ordered Ockham Leslie to enter the palace.
It has been more than a month since the pregnancy was discovered. It is time for the palace physician to conduct a second prenatal check-up. In order to show his importance to the Leslie family, he will be present at the prenatal check-up, and having breakfast with the newly-enthroned concubine can also demonstrate his attitude.
By the way, it would also be a good time to teach General Smellide a lesson for acting without authorization.
