Chapter 388: He Shouldn’t Be Here?
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
New lletuo Planet, Azure Mountain Milky Way Army encampment.
“A grade III origin energy starship has arrived? Which lieutenant colonel?” Ke Yuanba, who was handling military affairs, frowned in confusion.
“It’s Wang Ye, Lieutenant Colonel Wang.” The subordinate reported.
Ke Yuanba’s eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his rough face. “He’s just in time! Where is he? Bring me there quickly!”
The Azure Mountain Squad took first place in the Ancient Battlefield Milky Way exploration mission. The rookie Wang Ye became famous in one battle and caused a sensation in the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army.
In particular, he became even more famous in the 3rd Corps led by Xu Zhongkai.
Ke Yuanba had been paying attention to the Milky Way Ace team’s movements. When he first heard that Wang Ye had joined the Azure Mountain Squad, he was quite pleased.
However, not long after, Wang Ye became captain and kicked Ke Yuanqi off the stage. Ke Yuanba was so angry that he cursed him for being an ingrate.
However, as the Azure Mountain Squad rose in rank, Ke Yuanba began to secretly pay attention to the ingrate once more.
Ten cosmic days ago, Wang Ye led the Azure Mountain Squad to take first place in both individual and squad!
With that, Ke Yuanba couldn’t stop laughing and praising Wang Ye.
Now, this super rookie who was currently the hottest in the Taishi Milky Way Army was back! He had returned with the glory of the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army!
On the field, Wang Ye and the others had just passed the inspection and got off the Milky Way Azure Mountain Starship.
The eyes of the guards were filled with respect and admiration as if they were looking at their idol.
Wang Ye’s deeds had spread throughout the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army.
Everyone knew!
Now, he was a lieutenant colonel, high up in the air.
“I haven’t been back for a long time, but it’s still the same.” Ke Yuanqi was carefree.
“Yes.” Wang Ye looked around.
It was indeed the same, but the feeling was completely different.
Returning to this familiar place, he felt the familiar aura of the battlefield.
In the distance, the sound of clashing weapons could be heard on the martial arts field. Soldiers were attacking together in unison, something he had seen every day in the Xu Wolf Guard’s camp.
Suddenly, there was a commotion in the distance.
As the sounds of a soldier’s shout could be heard from afar, the noisy battlefield instantly quieted down.
Dust billowed and the atmosphere was shocking.
Led by Senior General Ke Yuanba, a group of officers from the Milky Way Army walked over.
“Father!” Ke Yuanqi’s eyes lit up as she rushed over.
However, her father, whom she had not seen for a long time, walked past her and greeted Wang Ye warmly instead. “Good job, Wang Ye! Hahahaha, you really surprised me!”
“Senior General.” Wang Ye bowed.
“It’s just been a few days, and I have to regard you highly. Good job!” Ke Yuanba’s eyes were bright. “You didn’t embarrass our Azure Mountain Milky Way Army!”
“Fortunately, I didn’t fail you,” Wang Ye said.
“Let’s go! We are holding a welcome party for you.” Ke Yuanba laughed heartily. He patted Wang Ye’s shoulder like an old friend whom he had not seen for a long time. “Good kid, you have become a lieutenant colonel so quickly. You even bought a grade III origin energy starship. How generous!”
The two chatted and laughed as they quickly left under the escort of the officers.
Ke Yuanqi: ???
Things were different now.
Wang Ye, who had just been promoted to a lieutenant colonel, was extremely popular.
The military camp was a place where the humans in the lower ranks of the cosmic could turn the tables and rise through the ranks. Miracles of brilliant feats were playing out every second, but it was still very rare to see someone as amazing as Wang Ye.
From being a soldier to an ensign, then lieutenant colonel, three consecutive jumps!
His speed of advancement was as fast as a starship, which was shocking.
No one in the entire Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation could surpass him.
When Wang Ye had been conferred the title of ensign, he had only been a rookie with great potential in Ke Yuanba’s eyes.
But now, Wang Ye had proven his ability with his battle results and strength.
To Ke Yuanba, this was a super talent who could become his right-hand man in the future!
“It’s okay. Take your time to deal with your personal matters. If there’s anything you can’t solve, tell me.” Ke Yuanba chugged a jug of wine and said frankly.
He knew that Wang Ye would, of course, not return to the Azure Mountain Milky Way Army.
The other party being a lieutenant general personally appointed by Admiral Wu
Yan would naturally lead an army of ten thousand soldiers under the latter if he wanted to go to the battlefield.
He didn’t have that many soldiers for Wang Ye.
Moreover, if the other party wanted to earn battle credits and prove his ability to fight on the battlefield, he must stay under the command of Admiral Wu Yan. That way, he would be able to face many devil and demon race troops.
“Alright.” Wang Ye raised his cup and emptied it.
Connections with Great General Ke were quite important.
After all, the other party was a Black Hole-level warrior and a tribune. He had a high status in the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation.
If Blue Planet was under the Azure Mountain Cosmic Nation, with the help of
General Ke, it was very likely that he would’ve been able to take it down smoothly by now.
“Do you plan to attend the Supreme Human Academy after you return?” Ke Yuanba had a smile on his face.
“I haven’t thought about it yet,” Wang Ye said.
He was now a 3-star cosmic citizen. He didn’t need the Supreme Human Academy to give him a cosmic citizen status.
“I suggest that you go to the Military Strategy Department to complete your studies. A mere hundred years will pass in the blink of an eye,” Ke Yuanba said earnestly. “After graduating, you will be more popular in the military camp than any lad with a family background.”
“At that time, your combat prowess would’ve broken through to the Super Star level. At the same time, you graduated from the Military Strategy Department and your personal qualifications are outstanding. Advancing from lieutenant colonel to prefect will happen naturally, and it won’t be difficult for you to even become a tribune.”
“Thank you for your reminder, Senior General.” Wang Ye’s heart warmed.
As someone who had been through this before, Senior General Ke could help him avoid many detours.
Although he did not have any plans to fight on the battlefield at the moment, in the future… Who could say?
What a selfless senior!
Ke Yuanba smiled knowingly and took a sip of wine. Suddenly, he asked, “How do you feel about Yuanqi?”
“… She’s very good.” Wang Ye had a bad feeling.
“Did you get along well?” Ke Yuanba continued.
“Quite… Well.” Wang Ye smiled apologetically.
“You don’t mind that she’s bigger than you, do you?” Ke Yuanba raised his eyebrows and lowered his voice.
In what sense? Pecs or glutes?
Senior General!
He didn’t expect the other party to be such a person, what with his thick eyebrows and big eyes. He treated him as a heart-warming senior, but to think the latter was treating him as his future son-in-law.
Damn it!
“I don’t mind, but we don’t have any sparks. We’re more like comrades.” Wang Ye thought about it.
“Not important, it’s not important.” Ke Yuanba shook his head. “A real man has ambitions. Love and relationships are useless. It’s fine as long as she can carry on the family line. I’ll send her to your room later.”
Wang Ye’s eyes widened.
Was he really Ke Yuanqi’s father?
He had never seen such an… Open-minded father-in-law.
Even if Ke Yuanqi was nothing like a woman, he didn’t have to sell her for free, right?
With Ke Yuanqi’s personality, unless he knocked her unconscious before sending her over, she would probably resist till the end even if she was beaten to death.
Wang Ye understood Ke Yuanba’s intentions. He was trying to recruit him.
It was just that the method was too radical!
Hurry up and run!
What if Ke Yuanba was serious and knocked his daughter unconscious, wrapped her in a blanket, and sent her over…
At that point, he could only advance with no way of retreating.
Wang Ye found an excuse and headed to the planet where the 3rd Corps was stationed.
He sat in the starship’s main control room and watched as New Hetuo Planet gradually grew smaller. He then let out a sigh of relief.
Finally. He escaped a disaster.
However, the way Sanqi looked at him seemed a little strange.
Plus, Yao was avoiding his gaze.
What was wrong with the two of them?
“Oh right, come over here for a moment.” Wang Ye waved at them.
Yan Sanqi walked over in surprise while Yao continued avoiding his gaze.
“Sanqi, Yao and 1 will leave after I send you back to the Xu Wolf Guard.” Wang Ye took out a female combat suit from the black realm and handed it to Yan Sanqi. “Time flies. It’s been almost ten years. Back then, we joined the Xu Wolf Guard and explored the Pipino Galaxy. Then, we joined the Azure Mountain Squad together and fought side by side until now. We’re going to part soon. Take this battle suit as a farewell gift. Thank you for your company and support during this period.”
In the Azure Mountain Squad, Wang Ye had the deepest feelings for Sanqi.
Right after he entered the military camp, the two became friends after a duel. When they were exploring the Pipino Galaxy, their relationship was already very close. In the Azure Mountain Squad, they advanced and retreated together, going through thick and thin.
“This is…” Yan Sanqi took the armor and was moved.
“You’re impulsive, belligerent, and easily get injured. You lack protective equipment with high defense. After I leave,” Wang Ye said softly. “It will protect you in my place.”
Yan Sanqi pursed her thin lips and looked at Yao.
She knew that Wang Ye had given Yao two swords, which was why she felt that there was something between the two of them. But now…
“Why are you giving it to me?” Yan Sanqi asked subconsciously.
“Because you are very special in my heart.” Wang Ye smiled. “Ke Yuanqi and the others were around just now. We were all in the same squad, so it was a little inconvenient to only give it to you.”
“You gave Yao weapons too!” Yan Sanqi blurted out.
“I’m only lending them to him.” Wang Ye was stunned.
Yao:…
Yan Sanqi was stunned and stared at Wang Ye. She seemed to be trying to read something from his eyes.
“Right, 1 asked Senior General Ke to contact the Woya family,” Wang Ye said. “The money has been transferred. When the time comes, you can go back and remove the control. Although the slave mark can’t be erased, at least you’re free.”
Free?
The sudden news stunned her.
Yan Sanqi’s chest heaved, and her breathing quickened.
Swoosh! Tears fell from her eyes.
She was truly free!
Born a slave, she was supposed to be a slave for life.
In the military camp, she fought desperately with empty hopes.
However, she knew that she was only struggling to survive.
She was rude, arrogant, and proud, but that was just a mask to hide her inferiority.
She was just a lowly human from a slave planet!
She had never thought that someone would like her, take her along, help her, and accept her wholeheartedly without asking for anything in return.
“Why? Why are you so nice to me?” Yan Sanqi looked at Wang Ye in tears.
Wang Ye smiled and looked at her, “Of course it’s because-”
?
A soft hand covered his mouth.
Wang Ye looked at Yan Sanqi in surprise.
“Don’t say it. I don’t want to hear it.” Yan Sanqi bit her lower lip.
Her exquisite face was less than ten centimeters away and her breathing was slightly rapid.
Looking at her eyes, expression, and actions, Wang Ye instantly understood. He gently grabbed her hand that was covering his mouth and held it tightly.
Feeling the slight palpitations and Yan Sanqi’s accelerated heartbeat, Wang Ye leaned in…
Yao: ?
Before he could react, an invisible force sent him flying.
Pa! The cabin door closed..
