1207 She Had Matured! She Isnât A Young Girl Anymore!
They went back to Veblenâs laboratory. Di Qi was still lying rigidly on the bed. He looked like a corpse waiting to be dissected.
The only difference was, he was wearing clothes. Normally, corpses would be naked.
Everyone gathered around Di Qi and looked at the poor man.
Wang Teng took out the Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill and pried Di Qiâs mouth open. Then, he stabbedâstuffed the pill in.
Everyone: â¦
Olivia: ???
âBrother Wang Teng, are you really friends?â
âDonât we look like friends?â Wang Teng asked, sounding puzzled.
Olivia: â¦
Seriously?
Looking at how rough you were, others might think you were trying to kill him.
âDonât mind the details. If we were not friends, I wouldnât have spent so much effort to refine the Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill and save him. Iâm a grandmaster alchemist. My time and labor are worth at least a few billion.â Wang Teng sniggered.
âYou can explain it to him personally. I recorded the scene on my wristwatch,â Olivia said slyly.
âF**k!â Wang Teng cursed unconsciously.
This girl was indeed sly. He got tricked.
âAre you scared?â Olivia smirked. âIâll delete the video if you make 180 grandmaster-level pills for me.â
Silence.
Everyone looked at Olivia in bewilderment. They could almost see the fox tail popping out behind her.
She was surprisingly ruthless.
108 grandmaster-level pills? Did she think they were sweets? How could she even say that number?
âWhy donât you be a robber instead?â Wang Teng asked furiously.
âThereâs no one to rob from,â Olivia replied in a seemingly naive tone.
âHow smart of you.â Wang Teng rolled his eyes. âWell, Iâm not going to bring you out again. Donât beg me.â
âHuh~â Olivia was stunned. She quickly hugged Wang Tengâs elbow. âDonât do that. Brother, I was wrong!â
Moira raised her eyebrow, glancing at their point of contact involuntarily.
Wang Teng immediately felt something soft on his elbow.
WTF!
This girl is growing up well.
She has matured.
I canât treat her like a young girl anymore.
But he still wouldnât relent easily. She would wreak havoc in the future if he gave in.
âHmph, how can you be wrong? Itâs my fault. I made a mistake by trusting you.â Wang Teng sighed and shook his head dejectedly.
âIâ¦â Olivia didnât know what to say. She was caught off guard.
Oh no, what should I do if Brother Wang Teng doesnât bring me around in the future?
She didnât participate much in this mission, but being able to go on one was a great breakthrough. She found it exhilarating and fun.
She wouldnât have any more chances if Wang Teng ignored her.
âDonât say anything. Letâs cut ties here,â Wang Teng glanced at her and said calmly.
âSob⦠No, Brother Wang Teng. Itâs my fault. I didnât take a video. I lied. I wonât do it again. Sob, I was wrong.â Tears welled up in Oliviaâs eyes, and she burst out crying.
Wang Teng felt helpless.
This wasnât right.
He was the victim, but after she cried, he looked like the bad guy.
Everyone stared at Wang Teng strangely as if he was inhumane.
Why are you bullying a young girl? Seriously?
Wang Teng felt even more frustrated. They werenât implicated, so they didnât care. They were bad guys too.
âStop crying. Iâm just playing with you,â Wang Teng said helplessly.
âReally?â Oliviaâs crying stopped, and her tears disappeared instantly. She asked, âCan I follow you in the future?â
Wang Teng froze, feeling that he got tricked again. He asked, âWhy do you want to follow me? Itâs dangerous.â
âItâs fun!â Olivia said.
Everyone: â¦
This young girl was still a child.
How could she say that the defense planet was fun? Was she oblivious or naive?
Erm, they seemed to have the same meaning.
Everyone shook their heads. They felt lucky that this young girl didnât pester them. Who could deal with her?
âNonsense,â Wang Teng scolded softly. âThis is a defense planet, not a place to play. Never mind, youâll be brought back soon. Someone in your family will take care of you.â
âI donât want to go back,â Olivia pouted and said unwillingly.
âThatâs not for you to decide.â Wang Teng gloated.
Olivia blinked and stopped irritating Wang Teng. She was coming up with another plan.
As for Di Qi, some color returned to his face after consuming the pill.
The Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill melted in his mouth.
This was a good function. Di Qi wouldnât be able to swallow the longan-sized spiritual dan in his state of unconsciousness.
âWang Teng, when will Di Qi wake up?â General Cameron asked.
âBased on the efficacy of my Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill, two days.â Wang Teng estimated.
âTwo days? Thatâs fast.â General Cameron was startled. âLooks like your alchemy mastery is extremely high. I should call you a grandmaster from now on.â
âPlease donât. Iâm just a small soldier under you. Donât call me grandmaster. Itâs not the same system, so we donât have to care about it,â Wang Teng replied in a hurry.
If Cameron changed the way he addressed him, their relationship would change too. They would turn from a superior and a subordinate to colleagues of the same rank. After all, grandmasters were the leader in their industry.
This wasnât what Wang Teng wanted.
He still wanted to enjoy the protection of General Cameron. An address was nothing. He didnât need it.
Silence.
No one knew what to say. They found Wang Teng extremely thick-skinned.
How could he say such words without turning red and putting himself in such a low position? Come on, shouldnât you have some face as a grandmaster?
General Cameron glanced at Wang Teng in surprise. This wasnât the reply he expected.
âAre you sure?â he asked.
âYes, extremely sure. Iâm just a small soldier under you. You can direct me around wherever you want. Just remember my military contributions. Wang Teng chuckled.
âSo this is what youâre after.â General Cameron was caught between laughter and tears. âAlright, you will have your military contributions for your future missions. You wonât be affected.
âCough, actually, military exploits are secondary. Most importantly, I want to contribute to the military,â Wang Teng coughed and continued righteously.
Everyone: â_â
âHahaha, youâre an interesting brat.â Veblen burst out laughing.
He rarely saw someone as honest and unpretentious as him.
Grandmaster Speanburg was stunned at first, but he understood Wang Tengâs intention after hearing their conversation. He smiled and kept quiet.
Grandmaster Wang Teng was a unique person. Other grandmasters chose to enjoy a good life in the Secondary Career Alliance. They wouldnât come to the military to suffer.
Of course, their lack of ability was also one of the reasons.
Wang Teng was different. Although he was a grandmaster, his martial arts talent was strong too. His achievements in this field might be higher.
It was understandable why he chose this path.
âLetâs disperse since everything has ended. Weâll wait for Di Qi to wake up before asking him what happened.â General Cameron waved his hand and left immediately. He had many matters to deal with; he couldnât stay much longer.
âIâm going back too. Grandmaster Wang Teng, come and have some tea if youâre free,â Grandmaster Speanburg said.
âI will.â Wang Teng agreed. He loved talking to this grandmaster because he had a way with words.
Wang Teng wanted to leave too, but Veblen pulled him back.
âYoung lad, go and deal with the devil ovum now. The faster you get rid of it, the earlier I can study it.â
âYouâre not allowing me to rest,â Wang Teng said helplessly.
âWhy do you need to rest? Youâre still young. Are you weak?â Veblen glanced at him.
â⦠Weak? Youâre the one whoâs weak,â Wang Teng replied angrily.
âHey, donât you know how to respect an elder?â
âNo. Do you know how to dote on a junior?â
âJunior? You? Please donât be so shameless.â
âIâm only 20 years old. Iâm not old like you. One of your feet is already in the coffin.â
âYou⦠ah, Iâm angry!â
â¦
Moira slapped her forehead as she looked at the two of them quarreling and walking away. She hurriedly caught up with them.
