"Boom!"
A violent tremor shook the ground, accompanied by the alarm of an enemy attack by the Zerg. The beauty beneath him was already completely naked. At this moment, even the usually composed Baker couldn't help but curse as he covered her up, saying, "Avril, wait for me to come back."
No, you'd better die out there and never come back. Still unable to move, Lian Han watched Beck Ivan leave with the same look he'd given a dead man, adding him to his kill list. Incidentally, the previous name on that list was Cang Ming.
A moment later, the faint sound of something landing could be heard from outside the room, followed by the door opening. If she weren't completely naked at that moment, Lian Han would have found General Ning extremely pleasing to the eye.
As for Ning Jue—thanks to the Federation's comprehensive coverage of the battlefield signal, this insect planet, which was quite close to the battlefield, was fortunate enough to be within the signal coverage area, so he was located through Lian Han's AI.
The scene was quite different from what he had imagined. Looking at the girl lying on the bed, Ning Jue's face darkened. "What happened?"
Previously, Lian Han, who had been silenced by Baker for not cooperating, could only communicate through mental power. "Very timely. You can roll me up with the blanket and take me away."
Ning Jue: ...
Who did it?
Lian Han remained calm. "I told you you arrived just in time, and you haven't done anything more outrageous. I just can't move."
Looking at the clothes scattered around the bed, Ning Jue felt that her current calmness was abnormal, but before he could ask any more questions, Ning Jue carefully curled her up and picked her up. "Where's the other person?"
"I've already notified him. He'll be here soon."
"Is it also a messaging card?"
Ning Jue was summoned by Lian Han using a communication card. Fortunately, Lian Han was on the nearby battlefield at the time, otherwise—just thinking about the outcome made Ning Jue feel a chill of fear.
Lian Han is only 16 years old. This kind of thing is extremely damaging to her, both physically and mentally.
Footsteps sounded, "Sister—uh, General?"
"Let's go." Ning Jue nestled the girl's little head in his arms and left the room first. His mecha was right outside the room, but he had activated his chameleon camouflage so that no insectoids could spot him.
Before leaving, he also blew up the room he had just been in.
If he had arrived even a moment later, just a moment later...
Yi Jun sat shakily in the card maker's seat, watching the increasingly low air pressure around the general. He felt a chill run down his spine, but finally mustered the courage to ask, "General, is Lian Han alright?"
His voice brought Ning Jue back to his senses. He looked at the little bundle in his arms and said softly, "It's alright. Just watch your mouth."
"I understand." Yi Jun glanced at Lian Han with concern and nodded.
This was a large-scale surprise attack launched by the Federation, resulting in heavy losses on both sides. No one knew that someone had bypassed the war zone and traveled to the insect planet. Only Baker Ivan returned to find his charred apprentice, his face grim as he dismissed the person in charge of the insect planet and replaced him, before leaving the front lines.
...
The general's bedroom.
After placing the person on the bed, Ning Jue was at a loss for what to do. He didn't have any female officers under his command, and as for female soldiers—he couldn't guarantee that the news wouldn't leak out.
"Where... is Liz?"
"I don't know," Lian Han replied calmly. Although they had agreed to come to Insect Planet One to find her, not long after she joined the Imperial Guard, the system notified her that the old man had remotely taken over the communication and control of the two cards, and that she no longer needed to worry about them.
"Help me put it on."
Ning Jue: ?!
General Ning wondered if he had misheard, but looking at her calm expression, he realized that she really meant it. The general frowned. "Lian Han, I'm a man."
"I know. Don't you like me? Or—do you think I'm dirty?"
Ning Jue's face darkened. "I've never thought that way. Lian Han, a girl should love herself, not give up on herself."
"Then prove it to me."
The girl's Zerg disguise was still intact; her gray pupils stared straight at him, her expression practically screaming disbelief.
Ning Jue took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to tear that bastard to pieces, and kissed her lips. "Lian Han, don't think about those things. You're the second person to come out of the Zerg safely. Being alive is the most important thing, isn't it? If you're really upset, just cry it out. I'll always be with you."
Lian Han closed his eyes, remained silent for a long time, and finally said, "I'm going to kill him."
"Okay. I'll help you."
"I want to take a shower."
“Not now, let’s wait until you can move.” Ning Jue said, then, seeing her fall silent again, changed the subject. “I happen to be going to the capital right now, so I can take you back with me. You can study armor making if you want. Study hard, maybe you can even participate in the fifth update of my mecha. Get some sleep, I’ll stay with you.”
The girl lay on the bed with her eyes closed, motionless, for so long that he thought she had fallen asleep before he heard her hum "Mmm".
Ning Jue shook his head, opened his smart device, and remotely listened to the Northern Army's first post-war meeting without him...
General Ning's biological clock woke him up on time. He had been sleeping on the edge of the bed the night before, and now both of his arms were uncomfortable. As he moved his arms, the coat draped over his shoulders fell off with a thud. When he opened his eyes and couldn't see Lian Han, Ning felt a sudden panic.
A massive amount of spiritual energy spread out, then immediately receded—the person was taking a bath.
Ning Jue picked up her coat from the ground, opened her smart device, ordered breakfast, and then knocked on the bathroom door. "Xiao Han, come out and eat something when you're ready."
Lian Han snapped out of her daze and realized that the water in the bathtub had gone cold. She stood up to wipe herself down and then changed into a women's casual outfit that she had found in Ning Jue's wardrobe. Surprisingly, it fit her perfectly.
She hadn't slept all night. After realizing she could move again, she covered Ning Jue with a coat and went straight to the bathroom.
Seeing that Lian Han had regained his appearance, Ning Jue smiled and said, "We've already started our return journey. We'll be back on the capital planet soon."
Lian Han nodded. "Thank you."
"It's all I should do. Please have a seat, I'll go wash up."
Lian Han nodded again.
When Ning Jue came out, breakfast had just arrived. He brought the breakfast in and said, "Eat first. We can talk about it later."
Lian Han's gaze fell on the breakfast, then he looked at Ning Jue, "Ning Jue."
"What's wrong?"
"If I haven't met someone I like by the time I'm an adult, marry me."
Ning Jue's heart skipped a beat, and she almost dropped the breakfast in her hand. "You're still young, it's too early to talk about these things now."
“I’m serious,” Lian Han said. “Of course, if you change your mind later, then forget it.”
"Of course not. But why are you suddenly asking this? Lian Han, you're still nine years away from adulthood. Are you really saying this now—or do you want to repay a debt of gratitude?"
He hadn't forgotten that this girl had always complained about his age.
Lian Han paused for a moment, then said, "I've thought about it carefully, and I guess there's no such thing as the perfect lover. But if I had to choose, you'd be a good match for me."
“Okay, girl. If you still think this way when you're an adult, I don't mind getting married right away. But it's too early for you to say this now.”
Lian Han looked at him quietly, then suddenly smiled—a happy smile.
