1362 Their Spirit Will Live on! The Pillar of the Empire! (1)
Defense Planet No. 29.
After many days of rest and recuperating, many of the heavily injured had recovered and their lives were no longer in danger.
Wang Teng played a huge part in this. His light force rain was amazing, both in quantity and quality. All those who experienced it would give him a thumbs up.
Now, there was a legend about a nanny in the military camp.
Of course, it was all a joke; just a sign that everyone was close to the young hero.
Wang Tengâs face turned black when he heard the rumors. He felt tired; it seemed that his nickname would stay with him for life.
Moira covered her mouth and chuckled. The young hero had taken some time in the few days prior to make the Xuanyang Soul Restoring Pill and saved her. Wang Teng had found her in time, so the devil mind apparition had not sucked too much of her soul. Her injury was lesser than Di Qiâs and she experienced a swift recovery.
âThe undefeatable Colonel Wang Teng has the nickname ânannyâ. What a stark contrast.â Moira laughed.
âGo away!â The young man was angry and frustrated.
âAll right, all right, donât mind it. Itâs just a nickname,â Moira consoled him.
âWhy donât I give you one?â Wang Teng stared at Moiraâs chest.
âPfft!â Moira snorted. She couldnât stand his gaze, so she hurriedly changed the topic. âI came to thank you in person.â
âItâs nothing.â Wang Teng waved a hand in dismissal.
She was stunned by his response, so she snapped back angrily, âMy life is nothing? I think youâre humiliating me.â
Wang Teng teased her, âAh, saving you was a piece of cake.â
Moira: (â¢Ìã¸â¢Ìâ¬)
âYou wonât get a girlfriend,â she said softly.
âDo you want to be my girlfriend?â Wang Teng nudged her.
âDonât overthink it,â she replied with a calm tone, while combing her long hair.
âThatâs good. Iâm an outstanding man, and too many ladies love me; I canât have another.â Wang Teng sighed.
Moira: â¦
This guyâs heart must be made of trash.
How insensitive!
It took her a few deep breaths to calm down. Then, she handed something to Wang Teng.
âThis is my gift to you.â
âWhat is this? A little branch?â Wang Teng sized up the item with interest. Then, he gasped and added, âThereâs a dense amount of light force inside.â
âMy friend from the Light Velvet Planet gave this to me. You can look for her if you have any troubles in the future,â Moira said.
Wang Teng raised his eyebrows. âThis must be important to you. Are you sure you want to give it to me?â
âIâm leaving.â Moira waved a hand and simply left.
Wang Teng looked on as she was leaving, while shaking his head.
âSlap!â
Someone suddenly slapped his shoulder and teased, âStop looking; sheâs gone already.â
âI knew you were hiding back there.â Wang Teng turned and looked at Di Qi, feeling at a loss.
âYou send your spiritual power all over the base.â Di Qi was similarly taken aback.
Wang Teng stored the little branch in a small jade box. âOne canât be too careful.â
Di Qi shrugged and asked, âAnyway, whatâs going to happen with my cousin if you start dating Veblenâs disciple?â
âWhat do you mean? What about your cousin?â Wang Tengâs face turned black. He quickly added, âThereâs nothing going on between me and your cousin. Are you trying to take advantage of me?
âAlso, thereâs nothing between me and Moira. Donât tarnish her reputation.â
âTsk, I saw everything.â Di Qi pouted and sniggered.
âWhat did you see?â A dangerous glow appeared in Wang Tengâs eyes. He stared at the other with a smile.
âCough, nothing. I saw nothing.â Di Qi quickly changed his tune. This fellow is too powerful. I canât afford to offend him.
âLook at your timid expression.â Wang Teng rolled his eyes. âDonât joke about your cousin and me. Iâd be put on the spot if your family finds out and later wants me to be their son-in-law.â
Di Qi wanted to give him a thumbs up.
Never had he seen such a thick-skinned person.
Dongâ¦
Just then, the clock in the base chimed.
Wang Teng and Di Qi turned serious.
âLetâs go.â Wang Teng walked out; Di Qi nodded and followed. The pair reached a building at the back of the military base.
The place had a simple build, but it was tall, and it gave off a dignified vibe.
A huge stone tablet was erected in front of said building, with names carved on its surface. There were countless of them.
Wang Teng blinked when he saw this. He started to feel emotional.
Countless martial warriors rushed over from all directions. They walked silently, standing in the plaza facing the building. None of them made a sound.
Upon closer observation, everyone was wearing their military attire. A white cloth tied on their shoulders was extremely conspicuous.
Wang Teng and Di Qi were no exception.
More and more people arrived. The plaza was packed.
However, it was strangely quiet.
Silence!
There was only silence and deep sorrow in everyoneâs eyes.
Some of the people were still bandaged, as they had yet to recover completely, but they also stood there in silence.
