Sipping the tea lightly, its delicate fragrance lingers on the tip of the tongue, leaving a refreshing aftertaste on the lips and teeth. Lifting his eyes slightly, he looks past the rim of the cup at Mo Junhua’s cold and unapproachable face and sighs in admiration, feeling sorry for those who have to deal with him.
Mo Junhua is not a person who is soft-hearted. On the contrary, he is ruthless and rciless, which is why he was known as the "Cold-faced Yama" in his past life. Those who fell into his hands t with very grim fates.
Those people thought he had no background and was easy to manipulate, so they used him as a scapegoat and detained him in the Military District Hospital while he was unconscious, not intending to let him live. They only spared him when they realized he couldn’t wake up. Who would have expected him to co back?
Those people must be restless now. They didn’t grab his military achievents, and Yama has co back to life, haha...
He’s like a lone, proud wolf, inherently ferocious, with an eye for an eye ntality. Those who plot against him will face his retaliation at the first opportunity.
Because he has nothing to lose, he doesn’t covet promotions or wealth, naturally, he can afford to risk it all. With his current military achievents, even if things beco too ssy, the higher-ups won’t discharge him from military service—it would be no big deal for him to just remain in the position of battalion commander for a lifeti.
Looking at Mo Junhua’s indifferent deanor, it seems he’s about to make a big scene.
Lan Tian’s interest is piqued. There will be a good show to watch.
Lan Tian couldn’t understand: in his past life, he could fake cordiality with those people and waste over a decade, even tolerating being cuckolded, so why couldn’t he bear it this ti? Going for a desperate struggle, do-or-die?
What sparked the change?
Considering his confident appearance, many people are going to get skinned, figuratively speaking. It’s just pity to witness what will co of him.
"Maybe I should go ho and stay for so days, and co back after your matters are settled," Lan Tian suggested kindly. The military base is about to descend into chaos. During such a sensitive period, carrying the na of Mo Junhua’s wife, she’s considered a half-sensitive individual. Going ho to avoid trouble wouldn’t be a bad idea; it would prevent others from using her as an excuse to attack him.
"No need," having finally detained the person there, Mo Junhua wasn’t going to let her leave so easily, "What happens in the military doesn’t concern you military wives. Just stay with peace of mind. Things will be as they are. The chaos won’t last a few days; everything will soon settle. Ignore any rumors you hear. It’s also troubleso to go back for a few days and then return. If they see you going back, Grandma and the others will get suspicious."
Mo Junhua wanted to remind her to pay attention to safety, but considering her combat power, he thought better of it. With her character, it’s already good enough not to let others take advantage of her. Outsiders generally wouldn’t offend her unless they touched her bottom line.
Lan Tian nodded, "That makes sense, I’ll listen to you."
The matter seed serious. If the military base started looking for soone to talk to, and she wasn’t at the base and they had to look for her at ho, Auntie, Uncle, and the rest of them would worry, thinking she did sothing wrong for the military to co looking for her. Regardless of whether there was a situation or not, if word got out, it would harm the reputation of her family. Grandma and the others would be embarrassed in the village thereafter. Even after things were clarified, outsiders wouldn’t care if it was a family issue or Mo Junhua’s issue — they would just see her family in a bad light.
"I have sothing to tell you as well, I need to leave for a while in a few days." After finishing the spiritual tea in her cup, Lan Tian poured herself another.
Mo Junhua was startled, they had just reunited and now they would be separated again. He didn’t want to let her go, although it didn’t show on his face. The girl’s matters were always mysterious, Grandma Sun and Mo Yuanle didn’t interfere with her, and even less so did he; hence, he didn’t ask what she was troubled with.
Lan Tian glanced at Mo Junhua, seeing that he was silent, staring into his teacup, deep in thought, she withdrew her gaze and sipped her tea slowly. What Mo Junhua thought had nothing to do with her, she was informing him, not seeking his opinion.
Mo Junhua slowly sipped his tea and said after a while, "Does grandma and the others know?"
"They do," Lan Tian nodded.
"When will you be back?"
Mo Junhua finished the tea in his cup in one gulp and put the cup down, his peripheral vision catching the dicine books on the teatable, and he suddenly realized the room’s arrangent was different from the past. The teatable wasn’t the one from before, replaced with one made of peach wood, and the TV cabinet had also changed, with a new pot of plants on it. New patterns of curtains were used, and there were also more potted plants on the windowsill.
The house was still the sa house, but it felt completely different. Initially, he was the one who set up everything in the room, and now it was all arranged by the girl. The feeling was very subtle. Mo Junhua couldn’t put his finger on it, but his gloomy mood instantly improved.
"The return date is uncertain. My Master said that at least I need to advance my cultivation by a significant realm. Until then, I can’t co back." Having the title of a master is convenient whether it’s for secluding oneself for cultivation or for going out for experience; ntioning the na of the master cos in handy.
Does that an it could take a long ti?
"Will it be a long ti? What if you can’t make it for the start of the school term? Are you planning to take a break and not attend?" He rembered how she studied so hard to get into university, and now she might have to give that up. Mo Junhua didn’t say anything else, knowing Grandma and the others would definitely be disappointed.
"If I can make it, that’s best, but if not, there’s nothing I can do." This ti, the foundation establishnt was sothing Lan Tian was determined to achieve. She had made all necessary preparations—if she succeeds in foundation establishnt, she would truly step into cultivation. Everything else was just the beginning.
"I’ve already discussed it with my uncle. He will talk to the school to see if it’s possible to take a year off and continue school the next year. If not, I will have to take a break from school until I co back and try again. University is definitely on the table. It’s just a matter of attending a few years later." Attending university was not just the expectation of Grandma Sun and the others; it was also Lan Tian’s dream.
Mo Junhua hesitated, the girl had planned everything, what more could he say.
"Girl, do you have any dicine that makes people tell the truth?" After a mont of silence, Mo Junhua suddenly asked.
The teacup in her hand paused as Lan Tian looked up at him, a flash of surprise in her eyes, "True Heart Pill, how do you know I have it?"
Shouldn’t the girl be asking what he wants it for, rather than asking about it at all?
Hearing this, Mo Junhua’s eyes brightened, so there really was such a dicine, "Could you give a few pills?"
The girl liked to fiddle with strange and peculiar ointnts, and he had seen Grandma Sun’s house stocked with a few commonly used jars; he didn’t know what herbs were used, he looked but couldn’t tell. It had a dicinal sll. Since the girl liked it, maybe she would make so strange dicine. For anyone else, Mo Junhua definitely would not have asked. Honestly, the dicine called True Heart Pill sounded far-fetched, like a tall tale. If such a dicine really existed in the world, things would be too chaotic.
Seeing the dicine books on the coffee table, he suddenly rembered to ask, not holding much hope, yet it turned out to be a surprise. There really was such a dicine, and with the True Heart Pills given by the girl, he was more confident about this matter.
"What kind of effect do you want?" True Heart Pill was found by Lan Tian in the Spiritual dicine Atlas, noted in the bottom corner of the very last page. This prescription was rather useless, not even considered a low-grade spirit pill, only useful for ordinary people, ineffective for Cultivators.
Lan Tian, bored with nothing else to do, had just the right herbs in Taohua Valley to make so. She made a few and they lay untouched in a corner of her Sleeve Universe.
Items made were ant to be used; Lan Tian didn’t care what Mo Junhua wanted them for.
"What effects does it have?" Mo Junhua was genuinely shocked.
"There are ones that last for a day, becoming ineffective after a day, those that last for half a month, half a year, several years, and even permanent ones."
Mo Junhua glanced at Lan Tian thoughtfully.
Lan Tian smiled, "It’s colorless and tasteless, and with the current technology, it’s undetectable." Maybe in two hundred years, we will see if it can be detected.
"Give a permanent one."
...
At night, after Lan Tian had taken her bath, she lay on the bed without a thought and fell asleep, while Mo Junhua, after his bath, lingered at the door, nervous, expectant and afraid. He always thought about making the girl his through and through, but he could tell that the girl didn’t have that kind of thought. Staring at the bedroom door in a daze, he eventually turned to go to the study, lingering until midnight before returning to the room to sleep. The person on the bed slept soundly, oblivious to soone lying beside her.
Mo Junhua felt both sweetness and tornt, with the person of his daydreams beside him, yet he dared not make a move.
In the military camp, where it was all n, the dirtiest jokes and stories were exchanged in private, he rembered one about a woman and a man who shared a bed where the woman drew a line on the bed, telling the man not to cross it at night or else he would be a beast.
Unexpectedly, the man lay there all night behaving properly, not crossing the line, only to be slapped in the face by the woman when she woke up, scolding him for being less than a beast. That story had everyone in the barracks in stitches.
Mo Junhua thought it over and felt he was even worse than a beast.
Although he couldn’t consummate the marriage, doing sothing else to quench his craving seed fine. He pulled her into his arms and looked over and over at those red lips, eventually unable to resist the temptation and lightly touched them a few tis, nervous to even breathe. Seeing that the person did not wake up, just frowned, he hurriedly kissed a few more tis, tasting a flavor more wonderful than imagined, then imdiately let go, savoring the sweetness before finally contentedly falling asleep.
When the military bugle sounded on the training field, Mo Junhua got up, got dressed, and seeing that Lan Tian was still asleep, he tucked her in, left a note on the table, and walked out. Downstairs, Su Qing and Jiang Xiaoshan were already waiting for him.
Lan Tian got up and saw the note on the table, burnt it in a fire, then went about her day. She cooked breakfast with Spirit Rice and Spiritual Vegetables, practiced a set of punches in the living room, and went to the study to practice the Cleansing Heart Technique.
Tian Xianghua ca by every afternoon to visit, a know-it-all about everything, aware of all the small news in the troops. Lan Tian didn’t have to leave the house to know what was happening in the camp every day.
For instance, Ma Juanjuan had been arguing with her husband for a few days over Zhou Yuwei. It seed that Ma Juanjuan cursed Zhou Yuwei a slut, resulting in her husband slapping her, and Ma Juanjuan ran off, her face covered, yet to return.
Lan Tian chuckled, Zhou Yuwei’s heroine halo was indeed powerful; even at such a low point, there were still n on her side.
One battalion commander took a liking to the new nurse in the camp. The nurse was pretty and white as a stead bun. Soone saw the two of them secretly eting in a grove at night.
Whose child was naughty, who stole from whose vegetable garden, getting beaten by their parents.
Who received a letter at ho, urging their return for a matchmaking...
...
"Bang bang bang"
Lan Tian prepared the ink, spread out the paper on the table, and began to write intently, focusing her mind, when suddenly soone knocked on the door "bang bang".
Who would co to look for her so early in the morning?
