Chapter 1383

1383 Reckless.

When they returned to the rainbow palace, they went directly to the main hall. As they pushed open the door to the main hall, the sight of an apocalypse was revealed to them. However, there was no one in sight. Everyone’s expression turned grave when they couldn’t see Ling Lan. Under Ji Ming’s lead, they rushed towards Ling Lan’s room.

“Boss!” Han Xuya was the most anxious out of everyone. She was so worried about Ling Lan’s safety that she recklessly pushed the door open without asking and ran inside.

Behind her, Luo Chao stood there, looking helplessly at her hand. She wanted to grab Han Xuya but she missed her by just an inch.

“Hmph~” A cold snort was heard. Then, the familiar voice of Boss entered their ears. “Come in.”

Hearing the calm voice, everyone finally felt relieved. They took a deep breath before stepping into the room.

Once they entered the room, they saw Han Xuya being locked up in a huge ice cube three meters away from the main door, only her head was not encased in ice. She looked at them pleadingly as she mouthed out the word ‘help’. She was obviously asking them to save her as soon as possible. She was probably afraid of angering Boss so she didn’t make any sound.

Mu Chaoran smiled when he saw this. He walked over and patted the sturdy and huge ice cube. He said, “We can’t destroy this. You have to wait for Boss.”

Han Xuya glared at Mu Chaoran when she saw him teasing her. She turned and looked pleadingly at Luo Chao and Li Shiyu. She knew that only these two people could help her.

Luo Chao shook her head helplessly. She had no choice but to shout into the bedroom, “Boss, we’re here. Are you still resting?”

“Wait for me for a moment.” Ling Lan’s cold reply came from the room. Li Shiyu frowned slightly. Boss’s voice sounded a little weak. It looked like Boss was seriously injured in his fight.

However, there were some people here whom he wasn’t sure whether they were his allies. Thus, Li Shiyu suppressed the worry in his heart. He would wait until there was no one around before treating Boss.

After some time, Ling Lan slowly walked out of the room with a red cloak over her shoulders. She glanced at the group of people indifferently.

Luo Chao blushed at the sight. She didn’t expect Boss to be so handsome when she wore a red cloak. The bright red colour and the cold aura of Bboss were two extremes but on Ling Lan, they seemed strangely harmonious.

Mu Chaoran and Tang Ningyu felt confused when they saw Ling Lan. Was this still the pure and invisible Little Brother Shaoyun in their memory?

Of course, this wasn’t the cold and oppressive Major General Ling they saw on Planet General either.

The current Ling Lan was still cold but he wasn’t extremely cold like how she was in the army. She was more indifferent now. She gave off the feeling that she had forsaken the world, looking at the world coldly as a bystander. It felt as though nothing mattered to her. Her aura wasn’t as domineering as before when no one dared to look at her in the eyes. However, her nonchalant glance was still too piercing for someone to look directly at her.

“Sit.” Ling Lan signaled for everyone to sit down and talk.

Hearing Ling Lan talking, Luo Chao regained her senses. She couldn’t bear to see Han Xuya being punished so Luo Chao pleaded for her. “Boss, Xuya was reckless, but she was just worried about you and wanted to see you. Please forgive her.”

Ling Lan glanced at Han Xuya. Han Xuya looked like she knew what she did was wrong. Thus, Ling Lan flicked her finger and the ice cube around Han Xuya dispersed immediately.

“Don’t be so reckless in the future,” Ling Lan said.

Based on how natural Han Xuya pushed open her door, she probably did it many times in the military camp. It was alright if she just pushed her door or Luo Chao’s door but if she pushed other men’s door like this, wouldn’t she suffer if she saw anything she shouldn’t see?

Fine, Ling Lan never thought that the men would be the ones that would suffer in that situation. If a situation like that happened, she would decisively stand on the lady’s side.

“I understand, Boss.” Han Xuya quickly raised her hand to show that she understood.

Everyone sat down. Ling Lan looked at Ji Ming. “What happened yesterday?”

Ji Ming quickly stood up and replied, “There were indeed many factions that got greedy. Many of those dirty thieves came.” As he spoke, he looked at Luo Chao and Li Shiyu before continuing, “However, the Jialan Ship had a mecha clan protecting it so everything ended well.”

Even the people of the starship came to visit Lord Gen. From the looks of it, Lord Gen’s position in the Soul Society wasn’t as simple as he thought.

“That’s good.” Ling Lan looked at Li Shiyu.

Li Shiyu didn’t need Ling Lan to open her mouth to know what she wanted to ask. He said, “There are some injured but no one died.”

Ling Lan nodded her head in satisfaction. This was just the start of her overall plan, so she didn’t hope to see casualties so early. Although Ling Lan knew that they would be casualties in her pursuit to conquer the Lawless Lands, she still hoped to push it as far back as possible.

Ji Ming remembered the mess they saw in the main hall. He couldn’t suppress his curiosity so he asked, “Lord Gen, what happened in the main hall. Did someone attack the rainbow palace?”

“Oh, that place… Lord Kun and I got excited during our chat so we decided to have a duel. I didn’t notice the state of the main hall.” Ling Lan replied dispassionately, “Since you asked, you’ll be in charge of the maintenance of the main hall.”

“Yes, Lord Gen,” Ji Ming replied happily. To him, this was the first step Lord Gen was taking in trusting him.

“Go ahead.” Ling Lan waved her hand. Ji Ming left the room and started getting busy with repairing the main hall.

There were now only the people from Lingtian and the Flying Dragon Special Forces left in the room. Li Shiyu looked at Ling Lan and enquired whether these two people from the Flying Dragon Special Forces could be trusted.

Ling Lan gave him a look to tell them that they were alright. Li Shiyu put down his worry and immediately rushed over to Ling Lan’s side. He took out a small device and started inspecting Ling Lan with it.

Luo Chao and Han Xuya looked at Ling Lan worriedly as they noticed her pale face.

“Boss, why didn’t you take the Nuwa agent?” Li Shiyu was slightly furious.

He detected that Ling Lan’s old injury had flared up again because she fought before her old injury could recover. Hence, with the addition of this new injury seriously damaged her body. This kind of injury was the hardest to treat as it needed to be treated slowly. Once a mistake was made during the recovery process, there would be lost-lasting implications. As a responsible military doctor, Li Shiyu hated this kind of patient. First, they were hard to treat, and second, they were irresponsible people who didn’t take care of their bodies.

“I finished it,” Ling Lan said calmly.

“You finished it?” Li Shiyu exclaimed in surprise. Boss only left them for a few days and he already finished all the Nuwa agents he brought along with him? Those were life-saving agents. Did Boss drink them for his three meals?

“Yeah. I almost died so I used all of them.” The way Ling Lan talked about her close shave to death made it sound extremely casual.
