Chapter 438: Chapter 438 Conspiracy

The effects of the Blood Rose were infinitely magnified on the battlefield, its ‘Heart’s Light’ making it easy for her to track down Li Xiaoyao’s whereabouts.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, when the sun was at its most venomous, the temperature and environment did not greatly affect everyone.

Ye Chu looked ahead at the unchanging landscape and asked, “How much farther?”

Blood Rose crouched down, placing her palm flat on the yellow sand, as a rattlesnake slowly slithered over and coiled up her hand. Blood Rose caressed the rattlesnake and said softly, “Soon, about seven kilometers.”

“Good, let’s go another five kilometers and then rest the whole team. Let us take down Long Chi Troop in our peak condition.”

…

Li Xiaoyao would open his eyes from his cultivation every two hours; his mental awareness covered a ten-kilometer radius, which, based on the speed of marching in the desert, was considered relatively safe.

As his consciousness spread out, Li Xiaoyao took in every detail within ten kilometers.

“Hm?” His expression changed, clearly having discovered something unexpected.

Under the cover of his awareness, the twenty-one members of the Canglang Unit appeared extremely clearly in Li Xiaoyao’s sight. What surprised Li Xiaoyao was not the strength of the unit’s overall cultivation level but that he saw a familiar face within their ranks.

Li Xiaoyao had never thought that he would encounter Cheng Yiyi here.

Through Cheng Dongliang, he learned that after the events of that night, Cheng Yiyi had run away from home and joined the army. It was unexpected for him that Cheng Yiyi had joined the Canglang Unit.

“Qi Refining Realm Layer Eight? Quite a weak cultivation level,” he said, furrowing his brows slightly before relaxing them.

If Li Xiaoyao remembered correctly, the first time he met Cheng Yiyi, her cultivation level was only at the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Realm; yet, in just a short two or three months, she had reached the eighth layer. Such a rate of cultivation could be called genius.

Undoubtedly, this was also inseparable from her own efforts.

Remembering what Cheng Yiyi had said when she left—’I will kill you’—Li Xiaoyao couldn’t help but give a bitter smile and shake his head.

This woman, with her stubborn nature, would certainly do what she had set her mind to.

“That phone call you made last time, what was that about? Don’t you want to kill me anymore?” Li Xiaoyao remembered that after he had killed Li Shisan, Cheng Yiyi had called him. Although her tone was poor, Li Xiaoyao heard a hint of concern in between the lines.

“Women’s hearts, deep as the ocean,” he shook his head and said, “But now that I’ve encountered you, naturally I can’t let you get hurt. You want to improve your strength, right? Then let me lend you a hand.”

An hour later.

The Canglang Unit stopped and rested on the spot.

Blood Rose leaned next to Ye Chu and said, “Two kilometers away, that’s where the Long Chi Troop is.”

“Hmm, very good,” Ye Chu turned his head and said to one of them, “Su Qing, go scout first. Check their casualty status, but be very careful not to reveal our position.”

“Okay.” Su Qing stood up, quickly rushing towards the direction of the Long Chi Troop, moving so silently that he must have cultivated some powerful bodily movement technique.

Ye Chu whispered a few words into Blood Rose’s ear, to which Blood Rose pouted, her gaze drifting noncommittally over to where Cheng Yiyi sat not far away and said, “Alright, but after this is done, you’d better reward me well.”

“Don’t worry, once I’ve had her, I’ll give you a weapon.” Ye Chu said as he squeezed her very elastic buttocks.

Bloody Rose twisted her hips as she walked toward Feng Longwei, who had his eyes closed feigning sleep, and said, “Hey, Feng Longwei, the instructor wants you to take a few people and dig a trench a thousand meters out.”

Feng Longwei opened his eyes and glanced at her with a cold and mocking look, saying with sarcastic undertones, “Dig a trench? For a trap? Haha, this is a desert, even if you dig a few meters deep, it’ll be filled in by wind in just a few hours. What’s the point of doing something so meaningless?”

“Hmph, you do what the instructor tells you to do, where does all this nonsense come from? If you have a problem, go ask the instructor. I’m just responsible for notifying you,” she retorted.

Feng Longwei frowned but didn’t say anything else. Indeed, Ye Chu was an instructor, and his words were akin to an imperial edict in a way. He really couldn’t defy them.

“Old Zhou, Ah Hua, Big Cannon… you guys, follow me.” Feng Longwei stood up, called out the names of seven people, and then looked at Cheng Yiyi, asking, “Yiyi, do you want to come with us?”

Cheng Yiyi was about to stand up when Bloody Rose let out a sneer, “Feng Longwei, you really know how to ‘cherish the fairer sex,’ don’t you? To actually invite a young lady to do such heavy and tiring work, you really have the nerve.”

Feng Longwei glanced at her unhappily but also felt that it wasn’t quite appropriate to ask Cheng Yiyi for such a physically demanding task, so he said, “Then you just rest here.”

A group of eight moved forward, leaving eleven people in the Canglang Unit.

Once Feng Longwei and the others completely disappeared from view, Ye Chu and Bloody Rose exchanged a glance; Bloody Rose sashayed over to Cheng Yiyi, while Ye Chu stood up and walked toward a small dune behind them.

“Yiyi, the instructor has something he needs to discuss with you,” Bloody Rose whispered.

“Hm? What is it?” Cheng Yiyi asked.

“I’m not sure,” Bloody Rose shook her head, “It seems like a serious matter, probably about who’s decided to be cannon fodder during the upcoming collision with the Long Chi Troop.”

“Ah.” Cheng Yiyi became somewhat flustered. She had never participated in the military district competition, and this was her first time. While she understood that there was indeed such a thing as cannon fodder on the battlefield, she never imagined that one day she might be one of them.

Seeing her panic, Bloody Rose said, “You should still go ask the instructor to clear it up. After all, you’re a girl, and if you talk to him properly, he probably won’t let you be cannon fodder.”

“Okay.” Cheng Yiyi nodded, turned her head to look for Ye Chu, but found that he had disappeared. She looked around and then spotted Ye Chu standing on a small dune, making hand gestures as if he were preparing for battle.

“I’ll go over there,” she said without suspicion and got up to walk toward Ye Chu.

The others overheard their conversation and couldn’t help but snicker, dismissing the talk of cannon fodder as complete nonsense.

After all, this was a military district competition, not the war against Japan. It was about teamwork, not headcount tactics.

They knew Ye Chu was probably using the excuse to make a move on Cheng Yiyi.@@novelbin@@

However, they weren’t concerned. It made no difference to them who Cheng Yiyi slept with since they didn’t have a chance. But there were one or two team members on good terms with Feng Longwei who secretly took out satellite phones and dialed Feng Longwei’s number.

Cheng Yiyi approached Ye Chu, noticing that he was still making hand gestures, so she stood by and waited.

After feigning a few more gestures, Ye Chu glanced at her and said, “You’re here, good, I have something I want to discuss with you.”

“Yes, Instructor Ye, please go ahead.” Cheng Yiyi clenched her fists, a little nervous. After all, she joined the Canglang Unit to make a mark, not to be cannon fodder.

Ye Chu walked down from the dune and headed in the opposite direction, with Cheng Yiyi following closely behind.
