The Crazed Little Darling: Pampered by the Possesive Commander!-Chapter 221: What If Ruan Ruan’s Hand Gets Hurt?
Lu Shinian stared at the pair’s clasped hands, his eyes flickering slightly, and he replied in a low voice, "Hmm."
He simply couldn’t refuse her.
Su Ruan led Lu Shinian into the Second World.
Since his alternate account could only utilize limited Mechas, unable to bring out even thirty percent of his strength, Lu Shinian logged in directly with his main account, [L].
However, there were too many restrictions on this account; besides allowing participation in Mecha matches, there wasn’t much else it could do.
Su Ruan directly applied for a training ground in the [Lu Su Pavilion]. Although it would cost a lot of Virtual Coins, she had earned quite a bit of it recently, so she could afford the expenses.
After entering the training ground, Su Ruan still opted for piloting a Lightweight Mecha.
Lu Shinian piloted his famed Mecha from back in the day -- [Snow Wolf]. As the name suggests, this Mecha could transform its form. It’s said that at the stage of man-machine unity, he becomes the Mecha, and the Mecha becomes him.
Of course, this was just a legend. The true situation was likely only known to Lu Shinian himself.
In the training ground, two completely different Mechas stood in opposition.
In the Mecha control room, Lu Shinian scanned Su Ruan’s Mecha, then spoke, "Ruan Ruan, get accustomed to the Mecha first."
Su Ruan hadn’t touched a Mecha for some time, and suddenly being in a Mecha again felt both refreshing and slightly uncomfortable.
Fortunately, her spiritual power had increased quite a bit since before, so she only experienced a momentary dizziness before returning to normal.
She linked her Mecha with her spiritual power while responding to Lu Shinian’s words.
"I’ve adapted now. What next?"
Lu Shinian rarely taught people. In fact, it would be correct to say he had never taught anyone.
Even when the education department previously asked him to draft teaching materials, he merely organized his training methods and left it at that. Whether the students could do it or to what extent was never his concern.
Because of this, he truly had never personally taught anyone in this manner.
The methods for training new soldiers would certainly not be suitable for his Ruan Ruan.
Adding to that, Su Ruan’s request had been made so hastily, in less than ten minutes total, leaving him no time to ponder and formulate a plan. In the current situation, Lu Shinian was genuinely at a loss.
After deliberating for a while, he could only take the most direct and effective approach.
"Spar with me."
His voice was low and calm, giving nothing away.
Su Ruan hadn’t expected things to get so intense right off the bat.
Aside from his unrivaled command abilities, Lu Shinian’s extraordinarily high Combat Power was another reason he became the interstellar First Commander.
Back then, he single-handedly challenged the Insect Queen, battling for three days and three nights, a legendary combat mission that still serves as a textbook example today.
Considering Su Ruan had hardly piloted a Mecha, she could already imagine just how badly she would be beaten by sparring directly with Lu Shinian.
However, she was never one to shrink away in the face of challenges. Taking a deep breath, Su Ruan set her stance, "Bring it on!"
Lu Shinian controlled his Mecha and charged directly at Su Ruan.
His expression was serious, demonstrating total dedication to this spar.
The two of them fought vigorously in the training room.
Su Ruan progressed at a pace faster than she could have imagined.
Her enormous spiritual power spread across the training room, mingling with the small amount of spiritual power that Lu Shinian had inadvertently leaked despite his good control.
In the intangible battleground, it was supposed to be a game of engulfment, but the nearly room-encompassing spiritual power only gently wrapped around the accidentally leaked wisp of spiritual power.
Like playing with a fun toy, the tendrils of spiritual power turned into a pair of small hands, kneading and pressing the wisp, enjoying the game thoroughly.
Only when she sensed the fatigue of its owner did the enormous spiritual power finally recede, returning to Su Ruan’s Spiritual Sea.
And the wisp of spiritual power that had been kneaded in various ways also returned to Lu Shinian’s Spiritual Sea.
Suddenly, Lu Shinian felt as if soft little hands had brushed over his Spiritual Sea, causing his body to shudder and, somehow, he let out a soft moan.
"Hmm~"
This sound fell directly into Su Ruan’s ears.
The soft moan was really very peculiar, mingling with a trace of pain, but more than that, an indescribable... pleasure?
"Brother Lu?" Su Ruan tentatively called out, "Are you okay?"
Could it be the Ancestral Stage again?
"I’m fine," Lu Shinian’s restrained and constrained voice resounded in Su Ruan’s ears, "Let’s take a break first."
"Okay." Su Ruan happening to feel a bit fatigued herself, agreed.
She didn’t log out of her Mecha but instead recalled the battle that had just transpired between them.
However, no matter how she tried, Lu Shinian’s peculiar soft moan kept resurfacing in her head.
As it turns out, she was indeed somewhat concerned.
Su Ruan’s long eyelashes trembled as she listened to Lu Shinian’s breathing through the communicator.
In the [Snow Wolf] control room, Lu Shinian gazed at the wolf tail emerging from his back, his eyes darkening.
Raising his hand, he indeed found the protruding wolf ears.
Without any premoition, he had undergone an Ancestral Stage.
Yet strangely, this time, he hadn’t lost consciousness nor his sanity.
He was fully aware of what he was doing and could perceive the entire training room environment, but why...
Lu Shinian pinched the furry wolf tail, the somewhat coarse feeling under his hand caused him to frown slightly.
Come to think of it, had he never cared for his wolf tail?
When Ruan Ruan touched his wolf tail before, was it this somewhat coarse texture, too? What if it hurt Ruan Ruan’s hand? What if Ruan Ruan didn’t like his tail?
Fortunately, the texture of the wolf ears was a bit better than the wolf tail.
Lu Shinian gazed at his wolf tail, his mind wandering.
Again, Su Ruan’s voice came through, "Brother Lu, I’m getting a bit tired. Can we log off for now?"
Looking at his wolf tail, Lu Shinian wondered if the Ancestral Stage would manifest in the real world as well.
If it did, would he lose control again?
The Second World and reality were ultimately different; maybe he retained his sanity this time because of the unique nature of the Second World.
But he wasn’t sure if, after leaving the Second World, he would still remain rational.
He didn’t want... to hurt her again.
Lu Shinian’s eyes darkened as he spoke in a restrained and hoarse voice, "Ruan Ruan, log off first. I have some matters to handle here."
This unusual attitude made Su Ruan somewhat concerned.
"What is it?" she asked softly, "Can I help?"
Perhaps fearing he would refuse, she proactively added, "I won’t cause you any trouble. I’m much stronger now than before."
There was no answer from the other side, just the slightly rough breathing in the communicator.
