Chapter 446
Nine Star Burden
Chapter 446: Smooth tongue
“Ha … Ha …” Jiang Xiao panted heavily and stopped in front of the volcano teleportation portal.
He had finally made it back! He was finally leaving this damn place.
His protective suit was covered in volcanic ash and the blood of the creatures of other dimensions, giving off an unpleasant smell.
Although it was so on the surface, the inside of his clothes was soaked with Jiang Xiao’s sweat, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
Second last, who was beside him, was not any better. Although she didn’t smell like blood, she was also dirty and smelly after losing her “air conditioner.”
It turned out that the “fragrant sweat” was all fake. So what if she was a woman? It didn’t matter if it was smelly.
Jiang Xiao panted heavily and walked out of the space portal impatiently. He finally returned to earth and the military camp.
The two of them were too lazy to communicate and ran to the bathroom to take a shower and change.
Twenty minutes later, Jiang Xiao changed into a clean set of clothes and changed back into the thick down jacket that he wore when he first arrived. He then stood at the entrance of the building and waited for a while.
After a while, second last, who was equally clean and fresh, walked out from the other side of the corridor. However, she did not tie her hair up and it was still a little wet. It seemed that she did not blow her hair dry and did not even bother to dry it.
…
Second last nodded at the soldier and brought Jiang Xiao out of the building to the parking lot.
After four days, Jiang Xiao sat in the black Passat Jiang A0S686 again. Second last opened the door and sat in the front passenger seat.””Where are we going?”
Where to go? that was the problem.
Jiang Xiao and second last came to the volcanic dimensional space near Jiacheng. The two cities were 370 kilometers apart and it would take three to four hours to drive back to jiangbin city.
The Armory that was closer to Jiacheng was the one in Zhongcheng County, Guanlin city. It was also 370 kilometers by car.
Second last had always been a decision-maker. Since she rarely asked for Jiang Xiao’s opinion, Jiang Xiao definitely had to seize the opportunity and not give up the right to make decisions.
Second last took a hair tie from her wrist and handed it to Jiang Xiao.
Jiang Xiao, who was deep in thought, was stunned for a moment. He looked at the hair tie in front of him and suddenly recalled the scene in the green grassland hotel opposite the Star Warriors in the capital.
Oh?
Was this woman addicted to it?
Should I give her a tight slap and tell her to do her own thing?
Jiang Xiao fantasized in his mind for a while before taking the hair tie obediently. Second last also turned slightly and looked out of the window.
Jiang Xiao tied her long hair and said hesitantly,””It’s already the 24th. Let’s go back to jiangbin city. The 28th is the new year. Little jiangxue should be back in a few days. I don’t want her to see a lonely home when she enters.”
Second last looked out of the window silently and did not respond.
Jiang Xiao continued,”let’s go to the Arsenal again after the new year. The training these few days has been quite intense. We’ve been working hard for a year. It’s time to take a break.”
“Yes.” Second last replied calmly,”go back then. I’ll contact you in a few days.”
Jiang Xiao tugged at her ponytail and gestured to her that he had done so. He sat up straight and started the car while saying,””Come home with me for the new year, okay?”
“No,” second last said.
“Uh …” Jiang Xiao drove out of the parking lot and quickly got onto the highway, entering a world of snow.
The atmosphere in the car was a little depressing. After a long while, Jiang Xiao said,””I have a group of pigs in my space. I’ll be safer if you’re with me.”
Second last looked out of the window silently and replied,””It’s fine as long as you don’t open the space. ”
Jiang Xiao patted the steering wheel and said helplessly,””Then shouldn’t you give Xiaoxiao some dumplings to eat during the new year?”
Second last was slightly taken aback.
New Year? To deliver dumplings to Xiaoxiao?
Jiang Xiao turned around to look at second last, only to see that she was slightly dumbfounded. He understood what she meant.
Oh my God, how could someone like you have a pet?
Scumbag!
He only knew how to let the horse run and not let it eat grass.
Jiang Xiao said very seriously,”yes, it needs a reward for the new year. I don’t dare to send it in, I’m afraid that my life will be at stake. Only you are more suitable to send it. ”
Second last’s voice was hoarse.”It’s not the new year.”
Jiang Xiao said helplessly,”it’s with you. It’s your pet. It has to celebrate Chinese New Year with you.”
Second last snorted and said,”I don’t want to celebrate the new year.”
However, Jiang Xiao said,’since you’re with me, you have to spend the new year together. Madam Diana, life is not just about fighting, killing, work, and missions. ”
Second last frowned and turned to look out of the window impatiently.””It’s troublesome. ”
“What do you think is the meaning of life?” Jiang Xiao suddenly asked.
Second last continued to frown and remain silent.
Jiang Xiao suddenly reached out and touched the back of her head to untie her ponytail, after which her slightly wet long hair was let down again.
Second last turned around and looked at Jiang Xiao in dissatisfaction.
Jiang Xiao put his fingers through the headband and spread his fingers apart, after which the headband slipped onto his wrist.””It’s a very realistic question. You’ve just received a mission and you have to return to the Northwest. The higher-ups will no longer let you take apprentices. Instead, they will let you go to a newly-opened dimensional space to lead the night guard.
You don’t know when you’ll be able to come out again, just like the two apprentices you’ve taught. You might even have to guard there for the rest of your life.
You know that you will carry out orders. You have no objections or hesitation. ”
“Of course,” second last said.
Jiang Xiao raised his arm and shook the hair tie on his wrist.””Such a small thing will be a memorable scene in your long night Watch. It will be an embellishment in your boring life.”
Second last burst into laughter. For the first time, she smiled so clearly and thoroughly. “You’re giving me a lesson. ”
Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said,”I’ve only tied your hair for you once. Obviously, you’ve remembered the feeling.” The first time, I was the one who asked for it. Now, it’s you who asked for it. You’re not as numb as you think, second last. ”
“Continue,” second last said calmly.
Jiang Xiao patted the steering wheel and looked at the White world. After hesitating for a while, he said,””Continue what? I’m just trying my best to live. ”
Second last remained silent for a long time and looked out of the window with a dazed look in her eyes.”I shouldn’t have met Han Jiangxue. My attitude won’t be good, and you guys won’t have a good New Year.”
“Tsk.” Jiang Xiao snorted in disdain and said,”are you afraid that you have some misunderstanding about yourself? Who do you think your attitude is good for?”
Second last was speechless.
Jiang Xiao didn’t drive very fast. After all, it was winter. Although the highway was cleaned up in time, safety was still the priority.
During the long four-hour drive, Jiang Xiao finally couldn’t help but ask,””Who’s that woman?”
However, second last closed her eyes and leaned back in her seat. She then lay on her back in the passenger’s seat and stepped on the glove box without responding.
“Third last?” Jiang Xiao asked.
Second last suddenly opened her eyes and turned around to look at Jiang Xiao in surprise.
Jiang Xiao could feel her gaze on him and said,””Your social circle is small, really small. Enemies can’t hurt you. ”
Second last looked at Jiang Xiao quietly and the atmosphere in the car was rather tense.
Jiang Xiao continued,”I’ve seen one-tailed and four-tailed hai Tianqing before. In your broken team, there’s only one code name that’s mysterious and can’t even be mentioned.”
Jiang Xiao shook his head and said with a smile,”I used to think that he was a man, until the day you took me to the Northwest. When I asked you if hai Tianqing was married, you told me that he wasn’t married, but he had someone he loved deeply. And the person hai Tianqing loved had not only abandoned hai Tianqing, but also abandoned all of you.”
Second last squinted her long and narrow eyes and looked extremely cold.
“Save it,” Jiang Xiao leaned forward slightly and covered her face with one hand before closing her eyes.”I’m your only friend after you shut everyone out. Don’t scare me away.”
Second last asked,”what else have you deduced?”
Jiang Xiao said,”hai Tianqing was expelled from The Night Watch because of her. You’re also holding onto me tightly because of her.”
“Why?” second last asked.
Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said,”who knows? Perhaps, after you died together with the leader of the mercenaries who invaded the snowfield, you were saved and when you woke up again, you found me by your side, guarding you?”
Second last licked her lips and removed his hand that was covering her eyes.
“A picture, a memory. With a comparison, you can make a decision.” Jiang Xiao said smilingly,”I don’t know your story, but I know the result.”
Jiang Xiao continued,”the top Army in Huaxia, the light-chasing team, which is even more special, is determined to take in a child who has just awakened as his disciple. He even decided to join the tail feathers team and become your comrade when he grows up.”
Jiang Xiao sighed deeply and said,””I don’t have the strength or even the potential. At that time, you didn’t know the uniqueness of my star map. You clearly knew that I only had Nine Star Slots. Even if I’m a rare medical awakened, I’m still a piece of trash. Yet, you still wanted to take me as your disciple and make me your teammate in the future. Why?”
Jiang Xiao turned around to look at second last, who had a complicated expression on her face. He said softly,””Wasn’t it because you were hurt by three-tails?”
Jiang Xiao turned to look at the road ahead and sighed again.””That’s why I said that all of this has nothing to do with me. ”
“No,” she said. Second last said,”I don’t deny all your analysis just now. However, the last sentence is the exact opposite. It’s all about you. ”
“Huh?” Jiang Xiao asked.
Second last said,’strength can be developed. The loyalty flowing in the blood is difficult. ”
Jiang Xiao turned around and looked into her dark eyes.”Even if I only have Nine Star Slots?”
“Even if you only have Nine Star Slots.” Second last nodded.
Jiang Xiao stared at second last’s serious expression for a long time and almost forgot that he was driving. He hurriedly turned around and looked ahead.
Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and said,”if you want to eat fish dumplings, just tell me. Learn from me. Don’t be so glib.”
Second last was speechless.
