The General Loves to Collect Little Red Flowers - Chap 90
Chap 90
“How about this General Xu? Have you learned how to write the word ‘defeat’ now? Ha ha ha ha ha ha!” Seeing the light of victory start to shine on him, Wan Deqing’s lunatic laughter filled Xu Yao’s mecha. “Isn’t it wonderful to listen to your wife screaming? I didn’t expect you to protect the Empire but forget to protect your wife.”
“What of it? What on Earth do you want?” Xu Yao’s words were being squeezed out of his tightly clenched teeth. From the beginning, he had ordered Leslie not to send him any images of Le Yao during the battle, lest he would be distracted. However, the image of someone who looked like Aunt Yu strangling Le Yao’s neck instantly made his eyes turn red!
“It’s easy. If you withdraw all your soldiers from Huaxia, I’ll consider releasing your wife.”
“Withdraw? Are you kidding me?”
“Do I look like I’m joking? Or General Xu, do you feel, in your heart, that your wife and children aren’t as important as your position?” Wan Deqing said with a smile, “I heard that you have a good life and are waiting to become a father of three children. But if you don’t comply with my words today, believe me, I’m afraid you’ll be left with nothing.”
“Then let nothing remain.”
Xu Yao sent orders through his communicator. “Han Mo, take your men out of the house.”
“General?” Han Mo looked at the communicator, stunned. Although it wasn’t a holographic video call, even if he couldn’t see Xu Yao’s expression, this command of his still made him feel very shocked.
“Execute the order!”
Han Mo looked at Le Yao’s eyes and found that they were red and had almost lost focus due to nausea. The sudden sonic attack had evidently caused great damage to Le Yao.
Le Yao was suffering from an intense headache and had no strength at all. Although there was some confusion in his eyes about the words being said, he could still hear Xu Yao’s voice. He didn’t know which communicator had conveyed his voice, but he clearly heard it.
He quirked his mouth slightly and said, “Yes, we can’t withdraw…”
The sound was too soft to hear, but Xu Yao clearly saw the entire scene from the screen. For the first time in his life, he regretted that he knew how to read people’s lips.
At this time, Wan Deqing threatened, “Xu Yao, don’t regret it!”
As his voice fell, the fake Aunt Yu’s hand tightened further around Le Yao’s neck. Le Yao desperately pulled at the constraining arm, but it was to no avail; his strength had been fully depleted. A suffocating sensation struck him, and a burst of darkness covered his sight!
Xu Yao couldn’t hold himself back anymore and shouted, “Wan Deqing! Don’t push your luck!”
Wan Deqing laughed. “What?”
Xu Yao gritted his teeth. “Fine, we’ll withdraw.”
Wan Deqing said, “That’s good. I must say, in the end, it seems General Xu is not a ruthless person. Mo Xian, bring him out. When General Xu’s people have retreated you can deliver his wife back to him.”
The fake Aunt Yu laughed. “Alright, Master.”
Le Yao was already unstable, but his strong spirit allowed him to stay conscious. He was dragged out of the door by his neck and taken on board a hover car.
At this time, Wan Deqing warned, “I will only give you one hour. Within this hour, every soldier of your Flying Wolf Division will abandon their mechas and leave Huaxia, with not a single one remaining on its surface. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being heartless. And don’t try to use your undead army against me when night falls either. I will only release your wife after confirming that all the conditions have been met. If you dare try to take any underhanded actions, I can’t guarantee your wife and children’s safety. After all, the Orcs are ill-tempered and I’m not trained at being patient.”
Xu Yao snorted coldly. “Is that so?”
Wan Deqing suddenly frowned, feeling that the words that Xu Yao had spoken weren’t quite right.
Xu Yao slowly took out the pendant hanging around his neck.
The other half of the Heart of the Galaxy was in the necklace and bracelet that Le Yao currently wore.
Leslie saw this and immediately understood Xu Yao’s intention. He asked using the personal terminal, “General, are you sure you want to do this?”
Xu Yao gently tapped on the pendant twice with his index finger. His eyes kept looking at Le Yao on the screen. Le Yao’s pale complexion and strong insistence on keeping his eyes open made him feel very distressed.
Le Yao had been casually dropped onto the floor. He leaned weakly in a corner of the hover car, with both hands constantly protecting his stomach. Although he felt pain all over his body after being attacked by that sonic blast, in the end, the pain seemed to be especially concentrated in his stomach and lower back.
Noticing that the hover car was still rising, Le Yao struggled to turn around and look out the window. The day was still bright, but he didn’t know how long it would be before darkness fell, and also didn’t know what he could do to get out of this situation. The children… could their children make it?
Le Yao’s eyes suddenly heated with dampness. At the beginning of the pregnancy, he felt uncomfortable. He wasn’t able to calmly and quickly accept the changes to his body, but since the children had started to move, he gradually became accustomed to it and felt their existence. If something really happened to them… Le Yao clutched his clothes tightly.
Suddenly, he felt something loosen around his wrist.
The sound of a ‘Shhh’ came from his communicator. It was very soft, but Le Yao clearly heard Xu Yao’s voice!
The two soft straps of the communicator slowly released his wrist, moved and then quietly clasped the bracelet, which was also on his wrist. The communicator’s screen covered the blue pendant of the bracelet perfectly, as if they were designed for each other. The straps tightened again, after which Le Yao didn’t feel as panicked as before.
The fake Aunt Yu, who was actually called Mo Xian, coincidentally chose this moment to look at Le Yao. “Hey! Hang in there, don’t die. It’ll be troublesome if you were to die.”
Le Yao quietly adjusted his way of sitting, thereby blocking any view of the communicator, and asked weakly, “How did you manage to get in?”
“Do you even need to ask? We followed the wounded, of course. The wounded soldiers were in urgent need of treatment, who would have the presence of mind to check the identifications one by one?”
Le Yao asked again, “Where did you hide Aunt Yu?”
Mo Xian replied with disdain. “Where else could I hide her? At the hospital, of course. An old woman, not to mention an unpleasant-looking one, causing me to have to wear this ugly face for so long!”
Le Yao was very displeased, but he really didn’t have enough energy to refute and argue against Mo Xian’s words.
Then, Xu Yao’s voice whispered through the communicator. “Baby, close your eyes, think about me and count till ten out loud.”
Le Yao wondered to himself, what is it you’re making me do? But he still followed Xu Yao’s instructions. He closed his eyes and began to count. “One, two, three, four…”
Mo Xian’s face suddenly turned dark. “What the hell are you counting?”
“…five, six, seven, eight…”
Before he said ‘nine’, Le Yao felt the communicator on his wrist suddenly tighten, and then something rushed out of it and wrapped around him instantaneously! Before he could figure out what that thing was, the speeding hover car was fiercely attacked, and he only heard a loud ‘bang!’ Within an instant, his surroundings were engulfed in a sea of fire, with nothing left around him, besides himself!
“Aaaahhhhhhhhhh!” Le Yao really didn’t like to scream, but the situation was just too sudden and shocking! As the sea of fire subsided, he realized that he was freely falling from a high altitude! Although the mysterious light surrounding him seemed quite magical and slowed his descent, when he looked down from this altitude, he really wanted to faint!
Whoosh~
At this moment, something flew out at an incredible speed and caught him.
“Shh…” It was Xu Yao’s voice.
“It’s me.” He said, as he carefully held Le Yao in his mecha’s embrace.
Le Yao’s heart, which was ready to jump out of his throat from the fear of falling, slowly settled down again. He opened his eyes and looked up at the silver mecha that was hugging him. Be it his fear, or the pain in his stomach, in this moment, all was forgotten. He could only remember to breathe desperately, before gradually realizing that something was wrong.
His stomach still hurt so much!
And he felt… that his pants were wet…
He tightened his grip on his clothes. “Husband, my… my stomach hurts…”
Xu Yao’s heart sank. When he saw, through Leslie, that his wife’s vital signs were abnormal, he chose this bold method in order to rescue Le Yao faster, but now, his heart sank deeper upon seeing Le Yao’s face even paler than that which he had previously seen on the screen. His heart felt like it was being twisted by a knife.
Xu Yao said warmly, “Don’t be afraid. We’ll go to the hospital. You’ll be fine.”
Le Yao could only voice out a weak ‘En’.
At the same time, the other party discovered that his advantage had evaporated. Wan Deqing saw that his right-hand man had been completely erased and that even his hover car signal had disappeared. He shouted in disbelief, “Xu Yao! What the hell did you do? Where are my people?!”
He hadn’t believed that Xu Yao would really have given up on Le Yao. Considering that Le Feishan was the one who had orchestrated the entire kidnapping… he wouldn’t harm his own son too much after all. Furthermore, Le Yao had such a special ability, so how could Xu Yao just outright destroy the hover car he was in?
Xu Yao only snorted coldly in reply. “Your people? Didn’t you just say that you wanted to see the undead? I’ll help turn your people into one of them and let you see them tonight!”
Wan Deqing repeatedly searched the area but still found no trace of Mo Xian’s hover car. “What the hell did you do?”
Xu Yao didn’t answer and simply ended the communication. “Leslie, pass my command. Fight them hard!”
“Yes!”
Originally, many people were worried about Le Yao’s hostage situation and didn’t dare to fully commit when facing the enemies around them. Now that they knew Le Yao had been rescued, they were immediately energized, as if having been injected with chicken blood. In that instant, the passive turned completely active and, coupled with the gradually darkening sky, the Flying Wolf soldiers rushed forward crazily one by one!
The sounds of bombardment rang through the sky, and there were no signs of it stopping in the near future.
But Le Yao couldn’t hear all that.
After he was taken to the hospital, he was directly pushed into the operating theatre. The blood stains on his pants looked shocking, and people who hadn’t known how to be ‘scared’ for decades suddenly felt panic.
“General, the children seem to be coming out early.” President Liu added, “You need to be mentally prepared.”
“What do you mean by ‘mentally prepared’?” Xu Yao repeatedly clenched and loosened his fists. His eyes never left the figure lying on the operating table.
“The period of pregnancy is too short. After birth, the children are likely… but we will try our best.”
“Please,” Xu Yao said desperately.
“President Liu!” A sudden shout echoed in the operating room. This doctor’s voice wasn’t loud, as they were probably afraid to wake the person who was unconscious on the operating table, but it sounded very excited. “President Liu, please enter and see Madam’s condition!”
Xu Yao thought that Le Yao’s situation had worsened and rushed in immediately, only to find that the little doll he had crafted for the other was glowing brightly.
All of the Good Fortune Talismans inside it were emitting a bright light. The light gradually enveloped Le Yao’s stomach completely. It looked like a gentle umbrella of light, surrounding and protecting the babies under its canopy.
A doctor suddenly asked, “President, should we still perform the surgery?”
“Let’s wait and check the effects of this development first.”
