Above the Galaxy-Chapter 1017 - 653: How Could Men Be Cuter Than Sisters and Beer?
"What are you afraid of?"
"Sister Phoenix and Sister Xin Huai just came by."
"So what if they came? It’s not like you haven’t seen them before. What’s there to be afraid of?"
"I don’t know." Little Fatty shook his head and said, "I just feel... scared."
"..."
Tang Fei fell silent.
He understood the reason for Little Fatty’s fear, and he knew that this problem needed to be resolved quickly.
Otherwise, many people would get hurt.
Tang Fei patted Little Fatty on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "It’s okay, don’t worry, I’ll take care of it."
"Yeah." Little Fatty nodded.
He trusted his big brother, believing he could solve any problem.
Including the headache-inducing issues with the two sisters.
He liked Sister Phoenix and also liked Sister Xin Huai...
He didn’t want either of them to be disappointed, nor did he want either of them to get hurt.
But how could he achieve that?
Alas, it’s all because his big brother was too excellent.
If he were more like himself, he wouldn’t have such troubles.
Little Fatty worried himself sick over his big brother.
"Bro, have you taken Luo City?"
"No." Tang Fei shook his head and said, "It’s an SSS-level city, with plenty of troops and resources. It’s not easy to take it down. The battle has reached a stalemate."
Luo City has tens of millions of residents and nearly 700,000 stationed troops.
And the Undying Army is one of the Empire’s three ace armies, as Shen Wuxiang’s elite personal troops, during his tenure as Military Minister, the excellent soldiers and high-end equipment were prioritized to meet all the needs of the Undying Army’s development.
With a famous general like Shen Annan, who climbed from the bottom and established countless battle achievements, guarding the city, it’s indeed challenging to take down Luo City all at once.
Unless we flatten Luo City.
Take the land without the people.
However, if we do that, the energy consumption would be astronomical.
After all, when you bombard them, they’ll also counter-bombard and intercept...
Luo City is backed by the Empire’s heartland, with constant support. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
On the other hand, Tang Fei’s side relies on local resources and meager supplies from the Lu Family in the Barren Land, which is becoming unsustainable.
Moreover, if tens of millions of civilians are truly sent to Hell, the Tang Fei Army will completely lose the people’s support.
They would truly become ’bandits,’ unable to hold their heads up for life.
Even die-hard supporters like Shang Xiulin and Sheng Jing might sever ties with him.
If Tang Fei truly wished to flatten Luo City, Shen Wuxiang would be the first to silently applaud him.
From then on, Tang Fei would no longer be a threat but a public enemy.
Exchanging one Luo City for comprehensive victory, Shen Wuxiang would wholeheartedly support it, without even frowning.
"Then I’ll go out and fight for big brother." Little Fatty said urgently, lifting the blanket to get up.
Tang Fei pressed down his body and said, "The doctor said you need more rest. Your body feels empty now, you need to replenish your Chaotic Power first."
"Chaos Technique" is a body refining technique, not a cultivation technique.
Since Little Fatty can’t sense the Yin Yang Qi, he can’t cycle and recuperate the Yin Yang Qi within himself like Tang Fei and the others, quietly healing his body.
Chaotic Power depletion requires rest, nourishment, and retraining...
Puts in all the hard work.
This is why cultivators disdain those brute warriors.
"Bro, I think I’m already full, my body is filled with strength."
"Do you think I don’t know if you have strength? Listen to me, continue to rest." Tang Fei advised, "Once you can get out of bed, go back to the Gravity Chamber and smash rocks. Only when you can walk out of a hundred times gravity chamber will it prove your body is filled with Chaotic Power again."
"Oh." Little Fatty said with a look of grievance, feeling ashamed not being able to help his big brother.
"Don’t worry, there will be a chance for you to strike later." Tang Fei said with a smile, "This time you helped me repel Shen Xinglan. If it weren’t for you, Lord Bi and the others might have been killed..."
Little Fatty looked confused and said, "Bro, did I really drive Shen Xinglan away? I don’t remember at all. Besides, Shen Xinglan is a Great Grandmaster... how could I possibly defeat a Great Grandmaster?"
Tang Fei sighed lightly and said, "It wasn’t just you, it was also with the help of an old friend of mine... the two of you worked together to drive Shen Xinglan away."
"Oh." Little Fatty nodded and asked, "Was it the Evil God?"
"...Yes." Tang Fei said.
He didn’t want Little Fatty to recall the events of being possessed by the Evil God, as those were extremely bloody experiences.
Moreover, having one’s body occupied by a foreign soul... fragments, just thinking about it was hair-raising.
Tang Fei feared Little Fatty would have nightmares.
Yet Little Fatty was very happy, looking at Tang Fei and said, "Bro, your friend is really good to us. Every time they show up, they help us drive away the bad guys."
Every time Little Fatty went ’demon possession,’ he would explode with terrifying combat power.
And then, it would be a bloodbath.
The first time was when they had just obtained the Skull Hammer, coveted by the New Star Hunter, while Tang Fei was heavily injured, the Evil God possessed him, helping them kill all the high-level cultivators.
The second time during demon possession, he helped hammer down Little Grandmaster Ye Shenyi to save the old man.
This time during demon possession, he even helped drive away Great Grandmaster Shen Xinglan...
Unfortunately, he couldn’t hammer him to death.
Henshan Hammer King is still no match for Northwest Hammer King.
Northwest Hammer King hammers several women to death every day.
"..."
Tang Fei looked at Little Fatty, finding him genuinely happy and carefree.
Exasperated, he said, "Aren’t you afraid he’ll come and won’t leave?"
This was Tang Fei’s most worrying issue.
The Evil God was uncontrollable, and so was this state.
Tang Fei wondered what state his good friend was in now.
Was it still conscious, or just a wisp of a remnant soul...
Or, the Evil God’s consciousness shattered, and instead, the ’evil nature’ of the Skull Hammer was activated.
The Skull Hammer that imprisoned ten thousand ghosts, had it evolved its consciousness?
You never know when he’ll come, nor when he’ll leave...
If he consolidates his consciousness and directly takes over, what will happen to Little Fatty?
"Isn’t that even better?" Little Fatty, with an expectant look on his face, said, "If he doesn’t leave, he can help big brother defeat Shen Xinglan."
Ever since knowing Shen Xinglan advanced to become a Great Grandmaster, Little Fatty had been very worried.
Even someone as simple-minded as he is well aware that the big brother and Shen Xinglan are destined to have a battle.
Shen Xinglan will definitely seek such an opportunity. From the moment he met him and said, ’What a pity it’s not him,’ it was clear.
He hopes his big brother will win, but his brother is not yet a Great Grandmaster...
Tang Fei was deeply moved inside; this silly brother truly thinks wholeheartedly for him.
He patted Little Fatty’s head and said seriously, "Although I have a good relationship with the Evil God, I still prefer to have a good little brother..."
Feeling his words were somewhat mushy, he quickly opened the thermal box he carries and asked, "Have you eaten? I brought some roasted chicken and grilled meat for you."
"I ate," Little Fatty beamed and said, "I think I can eat more."
"..."
------
Back in the military Star Disc to Brocade City, Phoenix and Sheng Xin Huai exchanged glances, neither speaking.
It was Phoenix who spoke first, saying, "Sheng Xin Huai, you should understand what I mean."
Phoenix wanted Sheng Xin Huai to stay with Little Fatty, providing her a chance to meet Tang Fei.
If they truly have feelings for each other...
She is willing to fulfill them.
What she fears is that she would have regrets in her life.
Sheng Xin Huai blinked and said, "Zhong Yu Xiu Xue, you should also understand what I mean."
When Phoenix asked her to stay, she immediately understood her true intention.
Best sisters, sharing everything.
Their relationship is so close, not born sisters, but closer than sisters.
She must have sensed something in her interactions with Tang Fei, so she was willing to give her a chance to express her feelings.
This is not generosity, but... self-sacrifice.
Can she accept such goodwill? Can she let her sister make such a sacrifice?
If Phoenix did not like Tang Fei, she could ’thick-faced’ pursue him.
However, she clearly likes him.
So many things happened between them, they even went through such dark moments, and she chose to forgive...
Her heart is still tied to him, willing to give him everything she has.
Can she still compete or fight?
Want?
She can’t even think about it.
Thinking about it is a sin.
Silence.
Deathly silence.
Mmm, they’re starting to call each other by name.
If Little Fatty were here, he’d probably burrow under the covers.
The women in the city are too scary.
After expressing themselves, they stared at each other again.
For a long time, the two of them smiled at each other.
"Forget it, let’s get to work first." Phoenix spoke up.
Sheng Xin Huai opened the liquor cabinet, pulled out a beer, popped it open with a ’pop’, and drank happily.
Men?
How could they be more endearing than sisters and beer?
------
Fengming Palace.
When Dongguo Chenxi brought the cooked sweet soup to Renhe Hall, Zhong Tianque was sitting at the desk dealing with affairs.
When Zhong Daoling was around, he was diligent.
When Zhong Daoling was not around, he was even more diligent.
Whether Zhong Daoling was there or not, he was the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince.
The difference is, before he was Zhong Daoling’s Crown Prince, now he’s the ’Puppy’ of Shen Wuxiang.
Zhong Tianque’s existence broke the record for the longest ’Reserve’ since the founding of the Phoenix Empire.
Even now, there is still no way to ascend the throne.
Perhaps he will never be able to sit on that position in this lifetime.
"Tian Que, take a break and have a bowl of sweet soup." Dongguo Chenxi said softly.
Zhong Tianque, without lifting his head, said, "I’m not hungry, take it away."
Dongguo Chenxi sighed softly.
I only committed the mistake that all women in the world would make. Why can’t he forgive me?
Since her affair with Shen Leyou was exposed, Zhong Tianque had always been ’cold’ to her.
Dongguo Chenxi knew that if it were during the heyday of the Zhong Royal Family, she would have long been divorced.
No, ’corrected’.
The Royal Family could not tolerate the existence of such a scandal.
Zhong Tianque, until now, could tolerate her staying by his side because he had no choice...
He needed that fig leaf, and more importantly, the support of the Dongguo Family.
Although he couldn’t be sure if the Dongguo Family really wanted to support him...
Who would want to entrust the life and death of a family to a puppet?
But did she have a better choice?
Since she understood things, her fate had already been closely tied to this man.
Unable to tear apart, unable to break free.
"Tian Que..."
"I said I’m not hungry." Zhong Tianque raised his head, glaring at Dongguo Chenxi with disgust.
Dongguo Chenxi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the indignation and humiliation in her heart, trying to keep her voice calm and gentle, said, "There is news from Uncle."
Uncle? Great Grandmaster Zhong Daoling?
Zhong Tianque abruptly stood up, asking in a deep voice, "Where is Uncle?"
