Chapter 437: Chapter 437: A Man Who Doesn’t Smoke Wastes His Time on Earth! (First Update)
“`
Miao Immortal Valley fell within the jurisdiction of mander Hu’s forces.
For this ancient sect with a long heritage, mander Hu always maintained the proper respect.
Moreover, there was frequent interaction between them.
Unexpectedly, he had received a plea for help from the Great Elder of Miao Immortal Valley.
It was about some demonic insects making an appearance!
Quite interesting!
Wasn’t Miao Immortal Valley the best at handling insects?
After pondering for a moment, mander Hu nodded, “Go call Zhang Chu!”
“Yes!”
Soon, the captain of the Blood Qilin Special Forces and the youngest colonel under mander Hu, Zhang Chu, arrived.
“mander!” Zhang Chu gave a standard military salute.
mander Hu nodded in satisfaction.
As for this subordinate of his, mander Hu could not get enough of him.
That standard posture, the tall figure, the resolute face, the decisive style, all were greatly admired by mander Hu.
Thus, he stepped forward and patted Zhang Chu on the shoulder, “Alright, you’ve just finished a petition, no need to be so tense! Relax a little!”
“Yes!” Zhang Chu replied, but even in his speech and actions, he was still full of military style.
“How is it? Tired?”
“Reporting to the mander, not tired!” Zhang Chu replied in a clipped tone.
mander Hu laughed, knowing all too well the disposition of his subordinate, hence he didn’t say more.
“Just now, the Great Elder of Miao Immortal Valley sent me a message, saying there are demonic insects there! Take a few men to check it out, if there’s nothing, consider it a breather. If you find something, it will be good practice for your troops!”
“Yes! Guaranteed to plete the mission!” Zhang Chu saluted solemnly, then turned and left.
mander Hu took this matter very seriously.
The Fire Phoenix Special Forces had made a name for themselves in the past few years, not just because they had almost monopolized the first place in all domestic and international military petitions.
More importantly, this troop had dealt with many abnormal incidents.
Due to the special nature of these incidents, the outside world had great difficulty finding out about them.
Of course, mander Hu knew, and he had seen the videos with his own eyes.
The formidable demons and monsters weighed heavily on his mind.
Yet, whenever the Fire Phoenix appeared, no matter how powerful the enemy was, they would be cleanly wiped out.
mander Hu was a man with a strong petitive spirit.
That was also why he wanted the Blood Qilin troops to handle this matter of the demonic insects.
Just winning against regular troops on the petition field was not enough; only by dealing with these increasingly numerous abnormal incidents could a force be considered a powerful special forces unit, qualified to pete with the Fire Phoenix.
Zhang Chu understood these principles, of course.
As an officer personally cultivated by mander Hu.
Zhang Chu had an almost obsessive fervor for victory.
He did not want to lose to anyone, especially not to the Fire Phoenix!
Because he had another identity.
The last inheritor of the Heavenly Master Mansion from Dragon Tiger Mountain in Ganzhou.
A millennium of Taoist tradition, all vested in him alone.
So he could not lose!
Upon returning to his base camp, Zhang Chu immediately gathered his subordinates and went over the situation briefly.
Most of the Blood Qilin team members were trained personally by Zhang Chu, not only in physical endurance and bat. Zhang Chu had even taught them many miraculous Taoist techniques.
Therefore, regarding their captain, who was endowed with extensive divine skills, the team members naturally followed orders without question.
“`
“Captain, just give the order. No demon bugs or ghost critters can faze us Blood Qilins—it’s all just a drizzle!”
“Yes! Captain, let’s get moving!”
Everyone’s faces were filled with excitement and brimming with a fierce fighting spirit.
Zhang Chu nodded in satisfaction, “Good! Then we’ll dispatch the whole team this time, treating it as a major training exercise!”
“Yes!”
The entire Blood Qilin unit mobilized, heading straight for Miao Immortal Valley.
Meanwhile in M Country’s Las Vegas.
In this world-famous gambling city.
Xue An was touring the place with his family.
Youna and Isabella had already returned to the Elf Sanctuary.
This was the tenth stop on Xue An and An Yan’s honeymoon, and it was also the first place they settled in after arriving in M Country.
As for the City of Sin, also in M Country…
Xue An didn’t find it interesting, and since they had already visited last time, they skipped it this time and came to Las Vegas instead!
An Yan naturally had no objections to this.
However, this time was different from before.
Thus, on the flight to M Country, Xue An’s family happened to encounter a domestic travel group.
This travel group was prised of newlywed couples, also here for their honeymoon.
After An Yan chatted with a few girls from the group, Xue An inevitably joined the travel group as well, much to his chagrin.
“Buddy, want one?” a gentle-looking man wearing glasses offered.
Xue An smiled slightly and shook his head, “No, thanks. I don’t smoke!”
The glasses-wearing man chuckled but didn’t insist. He lit up his cigarette and took a few puffs before fortably saying, “Not smoking as a man, you might as well not be living at all! Buddy, I think men who are married should definitely have some hobbies of their own!”
“Oh? Why is that?”
“Think about it, marriage is essentially the grave of love, and we’ve already stepped one foot into the grave. Without our own hobbies, isn’t that the same as being dead?” the man with glasses argued with conviction.
But Xue An looked at him oddly, “You really… think that way?”
“Of course! Sigh, I’m not like you; your wife is both beautiful and gentle. Unlike mine who, though she looks petite and cute, is actually a tigress…”
While the glasses-wearing man was grumbling, he suddenly felt someone grab the back of his neck, followed by a voice as cold as ice.
“Guo Xiaoliang, so in your eyes, I’m a tigress then…”
Hearing this voice, Guo Xiaoliang stiffened pletely, then slowly turned his head to see his wife, who was wearing a smile uglier than a cry.
“Lalan, I…”
“Go die!” Cai Lalan gripped Guo Xiaoliang’s neck and with an adept judo throw, sent him flying.
Thud.
Guo Xiaoliang hit the ground hard, grimacing in pain.
Cai Lalan dusted off her hands and walked away furiously.
Xue An, amused, stepped forward and offered a hand to Guo Xiaoliang, pulling him up from the ground.
Guo Xiaoliang inhaled sharply from the pain, “Buddy, when did my wife get here? Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?”
Xue An sighed, “I was giving you the eye the whole time; didn’t you pick up on it?”
Guo Xiaoliang was tearfully at a loss, “Damn it, I’m an idiot. I thought you were agreeing with me!”
Xue An laughed heartily, “Your wife… has some impressive moves!”
Guo Xiaoliang felt like crying, “Bro, just mentioning it makes me want to weep. When we were dating, she acted so delicate and like a little jade woman. One time she saw a mouse and clung to me so tightly, she wouldn’t let go! That’s when I thought, she’s the one for me, for life!”
As he spoke of the past, Guo Xiaoliang’s face was filled with longing and aspiration.
“And then?” Xue An blinked.
