The General Loves to Collect Little Red Flowers

If it hadn’t been related to the subject of network security, Yan Jie would definitely have fought with Xu Yao, because he didn’t want to become Yang Hengtian’s assistant at all. Even though he knew in his heart that, within the entire Flying Wolf Division, he was the most suitable person to assist him, he would still feel extremely embarrassed whenever they were together. He even regretted that he hadn’t decided to stay in Tarot with Uncle Ming. Even though he wanted to return to the military base in Huaxia, he wouldn’t have to face a certain man every day if he had stayed in Tarot. Uncle Ming’s task was also very important and he would certainly be of use there as well.

Moreover, Le Tianyu would be returning to Tarot soon.

Le Tianyu still hadn’t returned to the Le Family’s house while they were in Xingdu, and it left them wondering about Le Feishan’s real intentions. Perhaps, their being in Tarot made Le Feishan feel insecure, so he didn’t let Le Tianyu come back. Now that they had left, it was estimated that it wouldn’t be long before Le Tianyu returned.

In fact, Le Tianyu’s face transplant had been completed on the sixth day of his arrival at Blood Prison. It took around half a month for Le Tianyu to recover. At present, he was in a good condition. The plastic surgeon had changed Le Tianyu’s face into that of a prison guard’s, so Le Tianyu now seemed completely different, aside from his height.

Even his temper had become much worse than before. Although, he originally wasn’t good-tempered either, at the very least he would pretend, unlike now, where just a single word could make him angry.

In the beginning, Le Tianyu didn’t understand why Zhao You didn’t allow him to get in touch with his family after being taken to Blood Prison. On top of this, he even let a strange doctor change his face and also forced someone to mark him. But now, he knew the reason for all this. It was because he was Le Feishan’s biological son!

The truth which would have originally pleased him now seemed like nothing! Even if Le Tianyu knew that he was Le Feishan’s biological son, he could never expose this matter. Otherwise, once the Military Discipline Department discovered that he was the product of an extramarital affair, let alone the misfortune that would befall his father, even his mother, and the whole Jiang Family would suffer together with him, which was definitely not something that he wanted to see.

“Don’t worry, I know what can and can’t be said.” Le Tianyu looked at Zhao You angrily. Zhao You had been the only one to protect him after the ’accident’ and until they reached Blood Prison, and they had been together ever since. But, maybe it was because of their personality or some other factors, they were always in a state of discomfort.

“I know that you’re aware of the situation. In addition, you should be kind to Colonel Wan in the future. After all, he’s your future husband. You are able to return alive this time thanks to the help of the Wan Family.”

“I know that! You don’t have to remind me again and again!” Le Tianyu kicked the coffee table and walked towards the bedroom.

Wan Deqing was the son of the Chief Warden of Blood Prison, and was the one who had forcibly marked Le Tianyu. Forced by instinct, he would always be influenced by Wan Deqing after being marked, but he didn’t really like this person at all. A person in-charge of escorting prisoners had actually forced a mark on him, just thinking about it made him miserable. Why was Le Yao able to marry such an excellent man, whereas he had to secretly marry a man who had no future prospects?

Nevertheless, it was useless to say anything now. He was like a chess piece. His next move would simply awaited his master’s command.

Every time Le Tianyu thought back on the sequence of events that took place after he departed from Tarot, he felt like he was in a dream, no, a nightmare. Outsiders thought he was dead, but he was just as alive as anybody else. In the future, he would never be able to return as Le Tianyu, nor would he be able to greet his mother in a legitimate form of address.

It was all Le Yao’s fault! If it hadn’t been for Le Yao posting the video that shouldn’t have been uploaded onto the Internet, there wouldn’t have been so many people paying attention to him. Then his father wouldn’t have had to send him to this ghastly place because he was worried about his biological details being revealed!

Le Tianyu glared at a picture of a smiling Le Yao, displayed on the light brain, with a ferocious gaze. He slammed the light brain directly onto the ground and stamped on the screen with great force, not stopping until a crack had formed.

Le Yao, who was currently asleep, suddenly felt an oncoming headache and sat up in a slumped position. Then he remembered that he was still in the spaceship.

“Why are you sweating so much?” Xu Yao heard the sounds of his movements and realized that Le Yao’s face wasn’t looking good. His forehead was all sweaty. However, at present, the temperature indoors wasn’t high, and it was even rather cool.

“It’s okay. I had a bad dream, but I can’t remember it clearly anymore after waking up.” Le Yao massaged his forehead. “How much longer till we reach?”

“Forty minutes. Once we have reached, you should go rest more. I’ll take you for a checkup with President Liu after I’ve arranged work for the delegation.”

When they were staying in Xingdu, he hadn’t taken Le Yao for any pregnancy checkups. Le Yao only wanted to have his checkups done by the people he was familiar with, so Xu Yao didn’t force him. He had been pregnant for more than four months now, so they should be able to see something during the sonography.

Le Yao was also looking forward to it. Although he had felt strange and found it difficult to accept in the beginning, Omega pregnancies were a normal occurrence here, so he didn’t think about the matter anymore. He only hoped that the children would be safe until their birth.

It was 8:30 in the morning when the spaceship docked on the Flying Wolf Division’s ramp. Tang Ye personally brought people to greet them and handed everyone the special sunsuits for them to put on before they got off the spaceship. Most members of the inspection team had come to Huaxia for the first time. Their understanding about the place was still based on various documents and past information.

“Thank you, Lieutenant General Tang.” A very young official standing at the front of the investigation team thanked him.

“No problem. It’s hot here. We need to wear these sunsuits when we go out. Also, if anyone suddenly feels uncomfortable, please remember to call for a doctor in time.” With that, Tang Ye gestured at the medical team led by President Liu and said, “This is President Liu. He is responsible for any medical problems in our division.”

“Welcome to the Flying Wolf Division.” President Liu said with a smile, “If you have any problems in the future, please come to me.”

“Nice to meet you.” The young official returned the greeting before asking, “Can we take a look around, General Xu?”

“Of course. Tang Ye, take Chief Ling with you and give him a tour. I’ll send Le Yao back home for him to rest first.”

Le Yao quickly dismissed Xu Yao’s offer by saying, “There’s no need, I can go back myself.” There were so many people to attend to here, yet he still wanted to take him home. Would anyone need to be so careful when returning to their own home? Simply too modest...

Everyone looked at Le Yao’s smiling face, which was full of kindness. Chief Ling was also smiling. He said, “Then we will go with Lieutenant General Tang first. We can walk around in the morning and we can discuss any problems we encounter later in the afternoon.”

Xu Yao nodded and took Le Yao to his own hover car.

Chief Ling was the son of Le Yao’s school’s principal. His full name was Ling Qiao. He was the same young official who had asked an endless amount of questions in the Hall of the Great Moon. He was also an Alpha, but he looked slender and pale, thereby giving off a less Alpha-like vibe to people. If it wasn’t for the strong scent of his pheromones, it would be easy to think of him as an Omega with tremendous potential. And although the man looked pale, his eyes were sharp and energetic.

As Le Yao sat in the hover car and thought of Chief Ling, he said to Xu Yao, “I wanted to tell you before that this Chief Ling, in fact, is a little similar to Brother Tang. Both were born with insufficient Yang.”

“So, it’s easy for him to be possessed by the undead?”

“It’s hard to say, have people keep a careful watch over him tonight,” replied Le Yao.

“Alright. I think Tang Ye has gotten much better than before. Or, we can let Tang Ye teach Chief Ling more ways to improve his masculinity. After all, he’s your principal’s son. If his physical condition deteriorates, it will be hard to explain.”

“Un. I can try to supplement their Yang energy later. Otherwise, with so many undead here, it will be really hard to deal with if something really were to happen.”

The hotel and restaurant for the undead had remained open since they had left for Tarot. Tang Ye would contact them every day to chat and report on the situation of the undead. Now, more and more undead knew that there were hotels and restaurants available here and wanted to experience them. In this sort of a situation, people with low Yang energy would easily get possessed when they went out at night.

Although not every undead had grievances, it was still better to be careful.

Xu Yao saw Le Yao settle into their home and left after confirming that there were no problems on his side. Le Yao, upon seeing that there was nothing to clean up at home, sat down and rested for a while. He realized that since the start of the second trimester, his stomach had been ballooning as the children kept growing. Everyday, he grumbled for them to stay the same. As it was, he would start to feel tired after only walking for a while; they were really too heavy.

Le Yao had just poured himself a glass of water, when a knock sounded on the door. “Mr Xiao Le, are you there?”

“Yes, Aunt Yu, please come in.”

The door was unlocked. Aunt Yu entered with a number of bags. She placed them at the door and said with a smile, “You’ve been away for so long. I guessed that there would be nothing to eat at home, so I picked some ingredients out for you.”

They were bags full of vegetables and fruits.

Le Yao quickly thanked her, asked her to sit down, and then took out the little gifts that he had bought for her in Xingdu: Two handmade pieces of beautifully coloured soap bars, as well as some special products from Aunt Yu’s hometown. The latter had been bought after some special consideration and inquiring about them.

“I didn’t know what you would especially like so I just bought some things that I thought would suit you well. Please don’t be offended if they don’t suit your taste.”

Aunt Yu hadn’t returned to Tarot for two years already. At the sight of her hometown’s desserts, she was very surprised. The same way that Le Yao thought that the freight cost from Tarot to Huaxia was exorbitant, she had also never considered spending a higher amount of money on an expensive express fee for anything needed ordinarily or even to buy her favorite foods. She took it with a smile and said gratefully, “You’re so thoughtful. These are all my favorites.”

“I’m glad you like it. Has everything been fine during this period?”

“Everything has been very good. What about you and the General?”

Le Yao wanted to say it wasn’t bad either. But, just as he was about to say it, his right eyelid suddenly twitched without any warning. He placed his finger on the corner of his eye to stop it from moving, but it didn’t get better. Instead, it twitched even faster.

He couldn’t help but stare at Aunt Yu’s face, but didn’t find any problems even after scrutinising her for a long while. However, what he didn’t know was that, at this very moment, Le Tianyu had just boarded a prisoner escort spaceship to take him back to Tarot.
