Chapter 48 Wonderful
Returning to the outpost, everyone couldn't help but relax physically and mentally.
Some of the guards remained, while the rest returned to their dorms.At Wu Yan's instruction, Bian Wei specifically assigned two guards to accompany Huo Yuan, fearing it would be deceived and swindled upon its first entry into the Mortal World.Entering the shuttle, Qiu Ling took out a remote control made of jade bone and pressed it for each of them.
The three people in the family felt a moist breeze caress them, and they instantly felt refreshed and clean again, without any dust, and their fatigue was swept away!
Yan Zhao sat down next to her, curiously taking the remote control to examine it.
It had three columns of buttons. The first column was labeled 'Clean,' and in addition to precise alignment buttons, it also had controls for the cleaning range.The second column was for precise temperature control, including temperature levels and radiation range; the third column was for the protective shield, also indicating its range and functions.The Supply Star had a significant temperature difference between day and night, and it could feel quite cool at night, even when wearing padded clothes.The Warriors had strong Huo Yuan and good Physiques, making them resistant to cold and rarely getting sick.
To conserve energy, even though the shuttle had an air conditioning System, it was usually not activated unless the weather was extreme.However, the family of three, wearing their refined magic robes, were not particularly sensitive to temperature.Yan Zhao's eyes narrowed slightly as he selected the one-square-meter protective shield that isolated sight and sound.
He felt a very faint beam of light flash past, like light reflecting off glass, and before he could even feel wary, it vanished without a trace.He leaned close to Qiu Ling's ear and whispered, "Darling, is the protective shield working?
"Qiu Ling nodded, lifted her chin towards him, and called Wu Yan's name.
Wu Yan, across from them, showed no reaction, only slightly furrowing his brow as he looked at the suddenly vanished pair.Yan Zhao pulled Qiu Ling into his arms, and with a husky voice, he kissed her forehead, slowly and lingeringly moving downwards: "This function is indeed very practical!
"Qiu Ling tugged at his clothes, her face flushed, and she ferociously bit his lips.
Hearing his pained yet joyful muffled groan, she said crossly, "It's such a proper function, yet you, you actually hid such thoughts in your head.
"Looking at the man who let her bully him, Qiu Ling seemed to find amusement.
Imitating him, she kissed him along his jawline, all the way down to his Adam's apple.Feeling his hands become restless, Qiu Ling grabbed them and said in a low, fierce voice, "Don't move!
This is your punishment."Yan Zhao squinted his eyes, suppressing himself, and looked at his wife, who was more excited than usual.
A glint flashed in his eyes, and he whispered with gasps and a plea, "Darling, don't mess around.
.."The man's husky and vulnerable voice was like a needle pricking Qiu Ling, making her want to be the bad guy even more.
Indeed, bullying people was addictive!She deliberately didn't grant his wish, listening to his intermittent shouts: "Stop.
.. I won't dare next time... Bao, you can't...""Hiss.
.. Stop..."Qiu Ling suddenly understood why one of her grand-disciples had always chased after a Buddhist cultivator; the feeling of pulling someone into the Mortal World was indescribably wonderful.Although Wu Yan couldn't see, he knew, based on his understanding of Yan Zhao, his sieve-like Contract Master brother, what this person was coaxing his little wife to do!
With a cool expression, he glanced at his watch.
Five minutes had passed, so he unceremoniously tapped on the table, "Ling Ling, I'm also very curious about the remote control's functions.
Come, guide me through it."Hearing his voice, Qiu Ling reluctantly climbed off Yan Zhao.
Guiltily, she pulled Yan Zhao up, buttoned his unbuttoned shirt neatly, smoothed down his messy hair, and brushed away the marks she had made on him.A vein throbbed on Yan Zhao's forehead.
He pulled her back into his arms and bit her crossly, "Little rascal!
"Wu Yan tapped the table again, his expression tinged with a solitary melancholy.Qiu Ling's heart tightened, and her scalp tingled.
Men's blessings are truly a burden, aren't they!
She pushed away the clingy Yan Zhao, having forgotten about the remote control.
She cast a Dust Cleansing Art on herself and Yan Zhao separately, then deactivated the remote control's defensive shield function.Wu Yan then saw Yan Zhao lounging on the sofa, his eyes still flushed with a lingering blush, while Qiu Ling's eyes were deeply crimson at the corners, smiling at him with exceptional composure.He reached out to Qiu Ling, pulled her to his side, and, encircling her, also activated the protective shield that isolated sight and sound.Once the protective shield took effect, Wu Yan picked Qiu Ling up horizontally, kissed her fiercely, and carried her all the way to the bedroom.Qiu Ling transformed from a predator into a delicate, consumed prey.
.. She once again slept until she woke naturally.
Wu Yan had already left for the front, and Yan Zhao was in the training room with several guards, assessing and guiding the Trainees.Qiu Ling took the remote control, pressed the Dust Cleansing function for herself, then changed her magic robe into a sapphire blue tracksuit and tied her hair in a high ponytail.
Only then did she open the door.The domestic robot was waiting obediently at the door.
Seeing her come out, it smiled and said, "Hello, Madam.
General Wu has prepared a sumptuous breakfast for you.
Shall I set it on the table for you now?
"Qiu Ling hummed, "What all is there?"The domestic robot sent a command to another colleague on standby in the kitchen and slowly followed Qiu Ling: "There's fresh sheep's milk delivered from the front this morning, simmered with almonds and honey, it's especially fragrant and rich.General Wu had both barrels simmered.
If you don't finish it, he wants you to store it as a drink.The steak was personally pan-fried for you by Mr. Yan, medium-rare, and it's been kept warm.
.."The breakfast on the table was diverse, including fried eggs, steak, milk, bread, shredded pork noodles, fried dough sticks, and fried pancakes.
Some items were brought from the cafeteria, and some were made by themselves.Moreover, a familiar iron box was placed in front of her.
Qiu Ling scanned it with her light brain, and an operation page popped up.
She clicked to open it.The iron box opened, revealing a pink jade ring inside.
The storage ring contained food similar to what was on the table, but the portions were thirty to fifty times larger!
Qiu Ling chuckled, transferred the food to her own space, and then placed the pink jade ring back into the iron box and closed it.Yan Zhao came out of the training room shortly after, sat opposite her, propped his chin, and watched her eat with a smile in his eyes.
"Aren't you busy anymore?" Qiu Ling ate slowly, raising an eyebrow as she asked.
"Hmm, I'm pretty much done. The Trainees had their preliminary rounds yesterday, and the semifinals last night.
Once today's final results are out, the Trainees who qualify will take a flying shuttle and rush over here.
" Yan Zhao nodded: "There are approximately three hundred Trainees, two hundred and seventy of whom are Warriors, and thirty are Contract Masters.
"Qiu Ling heard a hint of disinterest in his voice and looked up at him curiously, "What's wrong?
Who made our Yan Zhao unhappy?"Yan Zhao smiled, touched his face, "Is it that obvious?
"Since birth, he had been burdened with high expectations from everyone, rarely able to express his own emotions.
A cool demeanor was almost welded to his face.It was only after he fell from his pedestal that he began to live his bleak life, and later, when he met Qiu Ling, he started to smile more and more.Could it be that he smiled so much that he couldn't control his emotional fluctuations anymore?
