Chapter 145: Chapter 94: Gone, The First Kiss is Gone_2

Master Wang prepared to regulate her Qi.

Lingtong became alert, suddenly opened her eyes, and her dark pupils shifted towards Wang Jixuan. Then, as though remembering something, she quickly closed her eyes again and began to feign sleep.

Wang Jixuan: ...

Since it is so.

Master Wang suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, placed his right hand on Lingtong’s nape, injecting Qi to regulate it while gently massaging her, his thumb tenderly scraping across her skin as smooth as a boiled egg.

Women truly are miraculous creatures.

Her cheeks were clearly reddening.

"What are you doing," Lingtong asked softly.

"Helping you recuperate," Master Wang replied, his thumb now pressing honestly, his voice hoarse, "I am a great hero, after all. Be nice to a hero."

"Oh."

Lingtong turned her head slightly, her ponytail facing Wang Jixuan, her cheek resting against his chest through a layer of clothing, and she muttered indistinctly:

"I’ll rest for a while, sleepy."

"Sleep then," said Wang Jixuan with a warm voice.

Following that, he furrowed his brows in thought.

This isn’t right, is it?

He’s the patient, and she’s supposed to be the caretaker! How did he end up giving her a massage? Especially when his own injuries weren’t even fully healed yet!

Well, she seems quite exhausted too.

Wang Jixuan massaged her for a moment, making sure she was alright and just fatigued, then he settled down to sleep with peace of mind.

In his drowsy state, Wang Jixuan could hear the conversation outside the door.

Zhou Zhengde had come by.

"All the Spiritual Ability Users have been dispatched to the front lines. Wei Linzheng and Uncle Feng are together; there will be no Spiritual Ability Users at Fortress 76 for now," he said.

Zhou Yan said:

"I will do my best to deal with the Spiritual Ability Users and try to turn Fortress 76 into a blind spot for the Spiritual Ability City.

"However, this is sure to provoke a severe backlash from the Thirteenth Institute.

"We predict that they will try every means to cause trouble here, and in the following period, we will need at least two half-human mechas stationed here permanently. When Lingtong goes back to repair her mechanical arm suit, both Deep Sea and Red Snake need to be present."

Deep Sea’s voice sounded: "That won’t be a problem; we hold the utmost respect for heroes."

"What about the nest underground?" Red Snake asked.

"The current strategy is to clear it out completely, then blow it up with firepower followed by a filling operation," Zhou Zhengde replied.

"It’ll also trouble both of you to clear it out as quickly as possible. Captain Zheng is the main force in the upcoming efforts, and pressure-resistant suits have already been arranged from the front lines, so it will be cleared within a week.

"Reconstruction of the Lower City is the next challenge.

"I’ve worked overnight to come up with a reconstruction plan for the Lower City. This is actually an opportunity, a chance to change the ecology of the Lower City, to provide as much rights and protections for the residents as possible and to create a pathway for talent from the Lower City to ascend to the Middle City and the Upper City.

"However, implementation will certainly be difficult and will require time to push forward gradually. It is closely related to the quality and skills of the residents."

Ms. Wan laughed: "You will have plenty of time to ponder in your quiet room, young man who dared to point a gun at a Commander."

"That was just... a spur of the moment..."

"Hahaha!" Uncle Tai’s hearty laughter followed.

Wang Jixuan also understood that Zhou Zhengde was about to face trial and serve his sentence in a military prison.

But Master Wang wasn’t the least bit worried about it.

What kind of background did Zhou Yan have?

The military prison is practically his family’s property. After Zhou Yan goes in, who knows, he might even get set up with a match in there.

Zhou Zhengde came to Wang Jixuan’s bedside. At that moment, Wang Jixuan could have woken up but Master Wang disliked the twisting and evasive emotion of a temporary farewell.

Was he expected to compose a poem to gift Brother Zhou?

Better to get it over and done with quickly.

Zhou Zhengde sat by the bed for a few minutes, then left as if he had gained a tremendous insight, stepping into the upcoming political battle with high spirits.

Over the next thirty-plus hours, he received two more waves of visitors.

Zheng Shiduo, who had just returned from the Lower City for his shift break, exaggeratedly described the horror within the Young King Worm Nest and boasted about how formidable Black Storm was.

Commander Dongfang Zhenghong and Minister of Internal Affairs Zhou Meiyin came together.

On behalf of the Middle Ages Basin Battle Zone and Combined Combat Zone D5 Command, and Zhou Meiyin on behalf of the Governor of Fortress 76, they expressed commendations and condolences for Black Storm.

They brought a large quantity of supplies, including but not limited to... three General-level Crystal Cores the size of fists!

And Zhou Meiyin’s personally cooked nutrition soup.

Master Wang truly cherished those three General-level Crystal Cores.

Without him needing to worry, Uncle Tai had already taken the initiative, retrieving several Demon Suppression Talismans from Master Wang’s cabinet and affixing them to the Crystal Cores.

As for the nutrition soup... Wan Xiaoqi sneaked two sips but retched for two hours, still unsure what was the matter.

As the saying goes, good medicine tastes bitter.

This side explains that the soup is truly nutritious.

Master Wang pretended to be unconscious and continued to recover to avoid being fed this soup upon waking.

He didn’t want to wake up, not only because he genuinely had a headache and needed to recuperate, but there was also another reason.

Lingtong had to leave temporarily for a while, probably for over a month, and Ms. Wan followed along.

She was returning to the front line to "treat" her mechanical arm, as there was a problem with the connection between the mechanical arm and the spine that required a professional team to fix, and there was a lack of large instruments to protect Lingtong’s skin and organs here.

As soon as he woke up, Lingtong would have to say goodbye and leave.

He’d rather just keep sleeping, letting her leave on her own.

Otherwise, there would be farewells... Master Wang didn’t like being sentimental or dragging things out.

Thus, Master Wang rested for two more days, his headache had eased a lot, and as long as he meditated for twelve hours every day, his soul’s injury would heal in a month, and it was unlikely that there would be any significant progress in his cultivation in that month.

Under Ms. Wan’s urging, Lingtong was already set to return to the General Command Center for treatment.

She had changed into a military uniform, opened the door to Wang Jixuan’s room, and softly said to the young man reading a book, Wu Man, beside her:

"Please let me be alone with him for a few minutes."

"Of course, Commander," Wu Man put down the book and let the electric wheelchair carry him away.

Lingtong closed the door, bowed her head against it, and stayed still for over twenty seconds.

Master Wang felt a bit nervous for no apparent reason, but his expression still looked like he was sound asleep, with no hint of being awake.

What was she going to do? Say a few emotional words? That didn’t seem like her style, her personality seemed to be...

Suddenly, Lingtong took two steps forward, approached the bedside without hesitation, and leaned over as if to headbutt him.

Master Wang almost opened his eyes to dodge.

Lingtong’s delicate face stopped in front of him, her left mechanical arm propped on the pillow and her right mechanical arm pressing against the wall, with the shortest distance between their noses being just a few centimeters.

Strands of hair slipped from behind her ear.

At this moment, her hair was loose, black, and shiny.

Lingtong stared with pursed lips and quickly pecked a kiss, her lips lightly touching Wang Jixuan’s.

She immediately stood up, as if she had violated some great taboo.

"Just trying out the feeling, like what’s written in novels, don’t get the wrong idea... take care of yourself, see you later, Deep Sea and Red Snake will protect you."

She turned to leave.

Master Wang thought of calling out to stop her, an inexplicable feeling wrapping around his heart, causing an indescribable ripple in his mood.

But still...

A man of valor, a true man, how could he be so passive!

Hey! You, little lady, get back here!

Wang Jixuan was about to call out when he realized that the young man with an innocent face was already sitting beside him.

The sunlight was perfect outside the window, and Lingtong’s presence had already disappeared.

"Commander Lingtong left twenty-five minutes ago, sir. Just after she left, you began to show signs of waking,"

Wu Man asked with a smile:

"There’s a bit of lipstick on your lips, do you need a tissue to wipe it off?"

Huh? Wasn’t it just now?

Wang Jixuan realized that he indeed had a moment of stupor.

Master Wang calmly sat up, stretched lazily as if nothing had happened, and looked at Uncle Tai and Wan Xiaoqi bustling outside the door.

"What are they packing for?"

"To ensure the safety of both you and me, we are being relocated to the safest place, the seventh layer of the Fortress."

Wu Man explained:

"There are no Spiritual Ability Users left inside the Fortress, so it’s relatively safe there.

"Zhou Zhengde is currently at the military court on the front line, clashing fiercely with the people from the Thirteenth Institute. He’s concerned that the Thirteenth Institute might retaliate against Fortress 76, so the expanded outer area is no longer safe.

"This station will serve as a decoy, allowing a few mechanics to take up residence to confuse people from the Thirteenth Institute."

"Alright."

Master Wang thought of those numerous light columns.

The formidable Blade Beast group;

The corrupted Spiritual Ability Users;

There truly are many challenges ahead.

Well then, get the mass production of the Demon-breaking Dagger underway quick, and give these Spiritual Ability Users ten million points of a little shock from orthodox cultivation!

At that moment, Master Wang was full of fighting spirit.

"By the way, sir."

Wu Man took out a holographic player:

"Listen to this, my new broadcast, there’s someone thanking you on it."

"What?" Master Wang was puzzled, but Wu Man had already pressed the playback button on the player.
