Chapter 235: Another Pathetic Lapdog
After Meng Peipei heard those words, she seemed unable to believe her own ears.
Her eyes widened.
Luo Dongyun, standing to the side, froze awkwardly on the spot.
Of course, he had not expected Li Mu’s reaction.
Even more than that, he had not expected Meng Peipei to say such a thing.
Perhaps because Luo Dongyun had always treated Meng Peipei as someone important, she had never behaved so excessively in front of him before.
But now that she had met Li Mu, the meritorious contributor who had improved the paper-format cultivation art, the fact that Li Mu had not slapped her after she said those words was already giving Luo Dongyun enough face.
At this moment, the bare-chested soldiers who had been sparring all looked at one another.
However, none of them could hide the faint amusement in their eyes.
Fortunately, they were professionals.
They did not laugh out loud.
They had long since found this damned Meng Peipei unpleasant.
Relying on her small amount of achievement, she had scolded them more harshly each time.
If not for military orders, no one would have voluntarily come to help her carry out this control-group training.
Even a Junior Dragon General did not put on as much airs as her.
Now, this was perfect.
She had run into a true god like Dragon General Li. Let them see whether he would indulge her.
At this moment, a sarcastic voice came from not far away.
“Do you think Peipei’s five-percent improvement was easier than all the improvements you made before?”
Along with the voice came a young man who looked refined and elegant.
He wore a pair of glasses.
He was about the same age as Meng Peipei.
He slowly came closer, placed one hand over his chest, and bowed slightly to Luo Dongyun.
“Commissioner Luo.”
Then he looked at Li Mu, and another layer of indifference appeared in his eyes.
Meng Peipei did not seem especially fond of this man. She frowned slightly.
If this had been any other time, she would already have snapped at him not to call her “Peipei.”
It was disgusting.
But if she scolded him back now, it would make her seem far too ungrateful.
It would only let Li Mu laugh at her.
“You are Dragon General Li, yes? We came from Lingyun Wanxiang City.”
“We had never met you before this. There is no need to be so rude with your words, is there?”
“Do you know how much Sister Peipei sacrificed to improve the Falling Leaf Saber Art?”
“Do you know that even in Lingyun Wanxiang City, a place where high-end talents gather, Sister Peipei is still a dazzling star?”
“I never expected that after coming to a small place like Bloodpool City in the Northern Frontier, she would receive this kind of treatment.”
“It seems you do not think much of our Lingyun Wanxiang City Military Merit Bureau.”
After he said this, even Luo Dongyun frowned deeply.
Damn it!
Calling this place a small place again and again. You really are asking for trouble!
Li Mu shook his head slightly.
“It is not that I do not give you face.”
Hearing Li Mu say this, the young man immediately felt his confidence rise. He secretly rejoiced at how easily he had pressured Li Mu.
But then Li Mu said, “I simply never thought much of you in the first place.”
“You fucking...”
The young man instantly cursed in anger.
It was already outrageous enough that Li Mu had snapped back at him.
He had spoken up for Meng Peipei, yet he had been slapped down as well. How could he endure that?
Was that not humiliating him in front of Meng Peipei?
But before the next word could leave his mouth, Li Mu had already backhanded him across the face.
His speed was so fast that even Luo Dongyun, who was at the Earth Rank, had only barely seen it and had no time to stop him.
As for the young man, he flew diagonally through the air and spun more than a dozen times in an instant.
Only then did he crash heavily to the ground with a bang.
He smashed a huge pit into the ground.
The bluestone slabs shook and cracked outward in all directions.
Meng Peipei merely looked coldly at the young man, as though she did not care about his life or death at all.
Although she knew that her appearance was outstanding and her talent was exceptional, and that she had indeed been pursued by many people back in Wanxiang City, her heart only held cultivation art research and constant breakthroughs.
She was utterly obsessed with it. It was precisely because of this persistence that she had achieved what she had today.
Before improving the Falling Leaf Saber Art, she had already been a Mid Tiger Marquis.
The young man’s jaw had been knocked crooked.
Nearly half the teeth in his mouth had been shattered.
His mouth full of blood, he propped up his upper body and looked at Li Mu in shock and fury.
He could not understand it.
He was clearly at the Profound Rank Fourth Grade.
At their age, that was already outstanding.
He was one grade higher than Meng Peipei.
He was also one grade higher than Li Mu before him.
But why had he not even been able to react to Li Mu’s slap?
“A Junior Tiger Marquis dared to curse at a Junior Dragon General.”
“Fuck you. Do you think the Abyss-Suppressing Army is the Research Institute?”
“If I hear you say one more dirty word, I will beat you to death!”
Li Mu’s words sounded casual.
But no one doubted their truth.
Luo Dongyun stood to the side and pressed his lips tightly together.
Although Li Mu beating someone in his territory did count as not giving Luo Dongyun face, the culprits were absolutely Meng Peipei and this pathetic lapdog.
Damn it, if the two of you do not know how to speak, then take some 502 glue and seal your mouths shut!
You have made me lose even the mood to mediate!
A clear, ringing cry suddenly sounded from the sky.
A winged giant dragon about fifty meters long came flying through the air, carrying with it a thread of coolness.
It was as if all the water elements in the surroundings had become active.
They were welcoming the arrival of this giant dragon.
The soldiers who had been training bare-chested just now all shivered and quickly used True Qi to protect their bodies.
It was none other than Wang Yinhuan’s Greedy Dragon.
Greedy Dragon descended directly into the Military Merit Bureau’s courtyard.
A pair of enormous fleshy claws landed steadily on the ground.
Wang Yinhuan leapt lightly from the dragon’s back and stood gracefully in front of Li Mu.
Her little face was flushed slightly red with excitement.
Although Li Mu had flown with her before, she had never flown on her own.
After reaching the Profound Rank, she had only studied defensive and body-strengthening cultivation arts.
This was also the first time Greedy Dragon had taken her flying after transforming toward dragonhood.
That feeling was simply wonderful.
“How was it? Flying on your own felt great, did it not?” Li Mu asked with a smile.
“Mm!”
Wang Yinhuan pressed her lips together and smiled. However, when she noticed that there were other people around, she hurriedly withdrew Greedy Dragon into her Pet Space.
Then she obediently greeted Luo Dongyun.
“Hello, Commissioner Luo!”
“Hello.”
Luo Dongyun looked at the stone slabs on the ground that Greedy Dragon’s enormous fleshy claws had just crushed.
He gave a speechless, bitter smile.
This young couple had come here specifically to cause destruction, had they not?
Each of them had damaged several courtyard bricks, and they did not seem to plan on paying compensation...
When Meng Peipei saw Wang Yinhuan land beside Li Mu and act so intimately with him, her brows instantly furrowed.
Although she did not like getting involved in romantic relationships, when she had first seen Li Mu just now, a faint thought had truly flashed through her mind.
She could improve cultivation arts, and Li Mu could improve cultivation arts as well. If she could form a romantic relationship with him, it would probably help her career enormously.
Of course, that thought had merely flashed through her mind beyond her control.
She had no real intention of doing such a thing.
And in her subconscious mind, if she truly did so, she should absolutely be worthy of Li Mu.
But now, when she saw Wang Yinhuan, she felt her face grow hot.
In terms of appearance and bearing, if she was honest with herself, Wang Yinhuan was an absolute beauty who could topple cities, gentle as flowing water, and truly a woman among women.
She was the softest among soft, gentle girls.
Her beauty was so great that even a woman like Meng Peipei could not feel jealousy toward her.
In terms of age, Wang Yinhuan seemed to be not even twenty years old.
Her own cultivation was only at the Profound Rank First Grade, but that dragon just now had the terrifying pressure of a Profound Rank Third Grade Peak.
Its actual strength was even harder to predict.
Standing together with Li Mu, the two of them were no less than an immortal couple.
As for the young man vomiting blood on the ground, he was even more horrified.
Right after Wang Yinhuan, the thirty Mute Women filed in through the gate.
Their hair streamed backward one by one. Clearly, they had sprinted back.
They had probably been racing Greedy Dragon.
For them to try to outrun Greedy Dragon on the ground when it was flying through the sky, one could see just how terrifying their speed was.
Li Mu then said to Luo Dongyun, “Commissioner Luo, my disciples are here.”
“It is time to show you the gift I prepared for you.”
