The General Loves to Collect Little Red Flowers-Chapter 57
Edited by Noks and Wiji
Xu Yao had actually wanted Le Yao to rest for a while longer, but Le Yao quickly resumed the task of teaching the xuanshu class after repeatedly reassuring his husband that he was okay. He only taught the class, and didn't deliberately get up early to go to the mountain for the anattā training again. If the weather was good, he would take his students outside, to change the study atmosphere, and he would only have half a day of classes. Besides, Xu Yao was by his side 24×7 acting as his bodyguard. President Liu and Doctor Zhao could also act as accompanying doctors. This team configuration was so good that there was basically no need to worry at all.
Xu Yao didn’t mean to be Le Yao's bodyguard. After all, he was not that idle. He would listen to the lectures with President Liu and the other four, because he had been the closest to attaining a selfless state on the mountain, and so Le Yao had suggested that he also join their class. In any case, once Xu Yao learned it, he could then cast a wide net and help spread xuanshu further.
“Do you still think that I’m too lustful to learn?” Xu Yao scratched Le Yao’s chin gently. “Teacher Xiao Le?”
“Pah!” Le Yao slapped the big gray wolf's claws. “It’s true, which student would hook their teacher’s chin like you?!”
“Why only hook your chin?” Xu Yao said and kissed Le Yao’s lips…
There was no one in the classroom after class had finished. Xu Yao trapped Teacher Xiao Le in his chair and bullied him. After bullying him for a while, he realized that he was just making trouble for himself. He looked at his big fish brother and decided to calm down before going out.
Le Yao covered his red lips and glared at him, “Next time I want to see what happens to you, in case someone comes when you are like this. Your thirty years of brilliance won’t be important again.”
Xu Yao took a chair and turned to face Le Yao. “Don’t let me see your face or your eyes.”
Le Yao asked, “Why?”
Xu Yao's face slightly reddened, before he replied, “I miss doing you during the day.”
Le Yao: “…” You’re such an outrageous student!
Le Yao quickly packed up his things and left first. He waited at the door for a while for Xu Yao to come out. Xu Yao soon came out and helped him in carrying his bag, and then they went over to the cold shed together. Le Yao picked some vegetables, and Xu Yao kept supporting him the entire time in fear that he would accidentally fall.
In fact, Le Yao hadn’t yet come to terms with the reality that he had three little ones in his stomach, maybe because they were still too small. However, now that he knew this, he had become reassured with the idea of eating more than he did before, but still didn’t really feel any difference. Xu Yao was also constantly nervous.
However, secretly and from the bottom of his heart, he enjoyed the feeling of being pampered by his husband. There was probably no one in the world who would hate it when their lover cared about them, unless it wasn't love.
Xu Yao carried two bags of fruits and a big bag of vegetables in one hand, and the other hand held onto Le Yao. Le Yao followed him closely. When they neared the door, he found people unloading things in their yard, box by box.
“What is that?” Le Yao asked the supermarket owner, the beta sister, who was supervising this.
“It's food, I bought it for you lest you starve at night.” Xu Yao went into the yard and thanked the beta sister, “Thank you, it must've been hard on you.”
“It's not hard at all.” The beta sister smiled and said, “As long as Mr Xiao Le likes to eat it, just give me a call and we'll deliver it right away!”
“This, isn't this too much?” At a glance, there were several different kinds of milk products such as pure yogurt, fruit yogurt, pure milk, low sugar milk and even goat milk. There were even other products such as nuts, dried fish, sliced meat…
“Try them first. I’ll eat the ones you don’t like.” Then Xu Yao told the beta sister, “You can go back to work first, and remember to send the bill to me later.”
“Wait a minute!” said Le Yao. “Please wait a moment, okay?” After that, he opened the door and quickly went into the kitchen. He took out one of the two glass containers of dessert from the refrigerator and divided its contents into two small glass bottles. He then went back to the yard and said, “I made some ximiluthis morning, please enjoy it.”
“Thank you so much, Mr Xiao Le. Then, we'll be leaving first,” the beta sister said with a smile.
“You’re welcome.” Le Yao waved his hand. “I added some mangoes to it. I don’t know if you'll like it or not.”
“You are too generous with my dessert, Madam.” Xu Yao said, “Forget it. It’s their lucky day. Come on, let’s go in, lest the other one be snatched by someone else later.”
The beta sister and the nearby little brother suddenly felt that the bottle in their hands was very precious!
In fact, because they ran the local supermarket, they usually consumed a lot of different kinds of snacks and drinks. But the contents of this bottle didn’t seem similar to anything they had drunk before. The beta sister opened the lid and sniffed. This bottle was a common single-use disposable transparent plastic bottle with a lid, and it was very clean. When she opened the lid, she could instantly smell the thick milk flavor and sweet aroma of mango.
What a taste, my mother!It's so delicious! The pure fragrance of milk was well matched with the small transparent balls, which were both chewy and sweet once bitten into. Supplemented with pieces of mango, it is so good I could die!
They got to the bottom of the bottle even before reaching the supermarket.
“Elder sister, next time you go to the General’s house to deliver things, remember to call me.” The little brother licked the bottle clean, “Isn't the General’s wife too powerful? He can even make desserts!”
“Why else would the General love him? He must be powerful.” The beta sister turned the bottle upside down and finally licked the last drops from the bottom of the bottle. She really wished she could go back and ask for another helping.
When the General’s wife had first come to buy scissors and glue from her, she had wondered whether it would be bad for the General to have him for a wife. But now, she realised she had thought too much. He is simply a little angel ah!
The little angel and the devil husband also shared a glass of ximilu, made three dishes and a soup for dinner and ate until their stomachs bulged, before burning incense for Ji Fengyu and their other ghost brothers. As for the undead army, the cafeteria was in charge of burning incense for them.
In the beginning, the undead army didn’t know how to communicate with their living brothers. However, after Le Yao taught them the method, they quickly understood, and they could now easily express their ideas and needs to the living people.
They didn't need Le Yao to burn things anymore, unless special circumstances demanded so, and Yan Jie and Chen Yingwei could burn them in his place in such cases.
“Later, you can make whatever you want with our 3D printer. I’ll let someone buy another printer to create the offerings for Shen Weilin. This way, you will have less work.” Xu Yao added, “And let me tell you something interesting, the Jiang Family is looking for the source of the lucky wooden fish everywhere. Le Feishan even reached out to Uncle Guan for help. I promised Uncle Guan that we would make two fakes to deal with them.”
“Hah, they will probably be very proud of themselves after they get their hands on the fish as well.” Le Yao continued, “Well, I’ve recently started to do a good job of managing Ji Fengyu and the other ghost brothers. It’s time to continue developing my business.”
“Your business?”
“Un. Now that I have three children in my stomach, I can’t perform transcendence for the undead orc spirits, so that matter will have to be put aside for the time being.”
“Well, then what now?”
“Now I plan to sell some valuable treasures.” Le Yao explained, “Do you know how many tombs there are buried underground here? Before, I was broke because of my debt, so I asked them to help me find some burial objects. Ji Fengyu actually found some. If there are any undead who want to exchange things with me, I think this method will work well. I can open a private detective agency or something to inquire about their existence. Of course, we have to see whether we can let the undead move freely outside of Huaxia. Right now, we know that we can attach the undead to something and bring them to another planet, but when we get to another planet and release them, I can’t guarantee that they will be able to stay on that planet. This is a very important matter.”
“Alright. You can try it as long as it’s not dangerous and it won’t make you tired. If there’s anything else that you need your husband’s help with, just say it.”
“Really?”
“Of course. When has your husband ever lied to you?”
“Then go and get me a glass of hot milk. I seem to be a little hungry again.”
Xu Yao: “…”
Xu Yao was stunned, hasn't it been less than half an hour since dinner?!
However, this question couldn't be asked. If his wife and children were hungry, he had to get them something to eat!
Xu Yao heated up a glass of milk and Le Yao drank it happily. After drinking, he seemed to feel very comfortable. He researched stuff on the light brain and pondered for a while. He wondered if he could give Ji Fengyu an undead supermarket, and then set up an undead hotel or inn or something.
There were surely many valuable things buried underground, but previously, no one could use them for expenditure in the living world. But now, there were people in the living world that could help. Thus, now it wasn't hard to get something valuable from the tombs and make a profit out of it. Furthermore, he no longer had to put up his guard against Xu Yao. It would be very convenient for him to sell them later.
Le Yao felt soothed as soon as he thought about it. He stared at Xu Yao for a while, and then with a loud “Chu~”, kissed him.
Xu Yao held him in his arms and sighed.
I must hold it in~
Le Yao was also afflicted, but for the time being, there seemed to be no other way but to practice forbearance. So the couple mutually agreed and began to place their attention elsewhere.
Two days later, Xu Yao sent four small wooden fish to Guan Xuefeng, two real ones and two fake ones. The real ones were for Guan Xuefeng and his wife. As for the fake ones, one was given to her father by Jiang Xinduo, and the other was given to Le Tianyu.
Jiang Xinduo had originally wanted to keep the second wooden fish for herself, because she had always wanted to give birth to an alpha for Le Feishan, since she had yet to achieve this. However, now, she especially wanted to see if the wooden fish would work for Le Tianyu. Le Tianyu had recently met General Aldrich. Aldrich and Xu Yao were alumni of the Military Academy from the same year, and he was also an excellent Alpha. Although he had become a general two years after Xu Yao, his family background was very profound.
No matter how powerful Xu Yao was, his family was gone. There was no one in his family that could act as his backing. The Aldrich family was different. Aldrich’s father, Davis, was the Commander of the 17th army. Aldrich’s grandfather was also one of the four Marshals of the Tarot Empire. Faced with such a background, Xu Yao was left several blocks behind. If her son could climb this ladder, she could even smile while sleeping.
At that time, what would Xu Yao be able to do? All his possessions would not be enough for others to see!
There was no name engraved on the small fish carving, so Jiang Xinduo didn’t know if it was directed to any exact person. She gave the fish to Le Tianyu, with a smile on her lips, as if Aldrich had already become her son-in-law!
