Chapter 636 - 636: Reporting Arrival!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Yan Zixuan’s words carried a hint of sarcasm.

Last night, after his father returned home, he was told to develop a relationship with the Princess, but how could that be possible?

He was a soldier and would eventually wield military power. In his mind, a real man was supposed to marry and have concubines. Hence, to cultivate a relationship with the Princess? That was ridiculous!

How could he possibly please a delicate woman?

So, he actually came here today with some resentment.

Seeing that Shen Ruojing hadn’t even gathered ten people, he couldn’t help but mock her, “Didn’t you say that you would bring a team of female soldiers? A team of female soldiers should have at least ten people, right? Where are they? How can a single person form a squad?”

Shen Ruojing sensed the resentment in his words and didn’t respond.

She was a little worried too.

Although she didn’t consider this issue yesterday, Shen Ruojing didn’t think it was a big problem. After all, if a woman couldn’t even handle her family, even if she came today, she wouldn’t be able to stay in the barracks for long.

What she wanted was not a group of weak and delicate ladies but real comrades who could fight alongside her.

In the future, it was even possible that these female soldiers would help her control the military power of various families…

Shen Ruojing then ignored her cousin and looked into the distance.

Seeing her like this, Yan Zixuan came over. “Cousin, my father told me that if you want to visit the barracks now, it’s possible. I can take you in. I think we shouldn’t wait any longer. Even if we wait for eternity, those people won’t be able to make it. After all… women should be at home taking care of their husbands and children, right? Why do they want to be soldiers? Isn’t that courting death? Who would dare marry a woman who has been a soldier?”

Yan Zixuan was tall and burly, with a rough appearance. He was a simple-minded warrior, unlike his scheming brother.

Hence, he spoke without thinking, but such people were often pure-hearted, so Shen Ruojing wouldn’t argue with him.

Because there was only one way to deal with such people.

No matter how much you say, it would only lead to one outcome. When a scholar meets a soldier, reason cannot prevail.

So, the only way was to subdue him!

But now, outside the barracks, it wouldn’t be good for Shen Ruojing to start a fight. She needed to find an opportunity to land a heavy punch that could knock him out instantly. Otherwise, small fights would be useless.

She had already learned some habits of the barracks yesterday, so she had her own ideas.

Therefore, she didn’t argue with Yan Zixuan.

She stubbornly stared into the distance.

There must be reliable women in Country A. If that were not the case, she wouldn’t have to try so hard and could simply give up.

Seeing that she was still staring into the distance and ignoring him, Yan Zixuan sneered.

He hadn’t married yet and was wholly focused on managing the barracks. Also, he only had two concubines at home and didn’t care about women at all. It could be said that people like him simply looked down on women from the bottom of their hearts.

He felt that today was a perfect opportunity to make the Princess look bad, so he simply took out his watch and glanced at it. “Your Highness, just a reminder, it’s already 8:45. In fifteen minutes, if they haven’t arrived, they’ll be considered late. The military camp has strict management, and latecomers will be directly dismissed!”

Shen Ruojing ignored him.

Yan Zixuan became a timer. “It’s 8:50 now…”

Shen Ruojing still ignored him.

Five minutes passed.

Yan Zixuan. “It’s 8:55 now, only five minutes left. Do you still expect a miracle to happen?”

Shen Ruojing finally couldn’t help but look at him. “Can you shut up? It’s not even summer yet, and frogs aren’t nearly as talkative as you. How can a grown man be so noisy!?”

Yan Zixuan.”!!”

He got angry. “You…”

“Shh…” Yan Zixuan’s words were suddenly interrupted by Shen Ruojing. She then looked forward with bright eyes.

Yan Zixuan followed her gaze and saw a woman appear around the corner of the road.

It was Luo Yan!

She was wearing the dress from yesterday. As there was a traitor in the group, the few noble ladies chosen by Shen Ruojing had been directly controlled by their families. Luo Yan’s parents had also forcibly taken her phone and locked her up.

She had no chance to change into casual clothes. She then tried everything she could and finally climbed out through the window. At this moment, her face was covered in dust, her clothes were torn, and even her feet were worn out from the journey.

But her eyes were determined. She was holding her skirt and still walking forward.

Upon seeing her, Yan Zixuan was slightly taken aback. He didn’t know why, but the stubborn Miss Luo from the Luo family seemed to have become a bit more adorable.

But how was that possible?

Look at her dirty appearance, what kind of image was that?

“Even if one has come, it’s not enough, Your Highness.” Yan Zixuan simply looked at Shen Ruojing again, but as soon as his words fell, he saw a second noble lady appear behind Luo Yan…

That person looked just as disheveled as Luo Yan, but her steps were firm and unwavering as she approached.

Then came the third, the fourth…

In the end, eight out of the ten noble ladies chosen by Shen Ruojing yesterday had arrived!

Shen Ruojing’s eyes sparkled.

Eight out of ten was already a lot. Although this was the result after Shen Ruojing’s selection, she had chosen these noble ladies because she believed that they had strong determination.

They didn’t disappoint her!

“Princess, Luo Yan reports my arrival!”

“Princess, 1 report my arrival!”

“Princess,…”

One after another, delicate voices sounded, composing the most perfect symphony for Shen Ruojing today.

Shen Ruojing smiled.

However, Yan Zixuan was determined to ruin the atmosphere. “Your Highness, even with you here, there are only nine of you, still one short. It’s not enough, so your team of female soldiers cannot be established….”
