Chapter 314 - 314 An Invitation

314 An Invitation

The moon was bright, and the stars were few.

Chu Yan had a very long dream. After she woke up, she stretched lazily. When she opened her eyes, she found that she was still in Lu Benwei’s ward, wearing his coat. Hence, her little face blushed in an instant.

“I… I accidentally fell asleep,” Chu Yan stammered, “I didn’t say anything weird when I fell asleep, did I?”

“No, you didn’t but you drooled a lot.” Lu Benwei shook his head.

Hearing this, Chu Yan’s face became even redder. She lowered her head and dug her toes into the ground.

“Haha!”

Lu Benwei laughed out loud when he saw Chu Yan in such a difficult situation for the first time.

At this moment, Chu Yan was both embarrassed and angry.

“What are you laughing at? Don’t you drool when you sleep on your stomach?” Chu Yan gritted her teeth.

Lu Benwei’s mouth moved, and he smiled silently.

“Are you alone at home during the new year?”

Chu Yan was stunned, and her face turned red with anger. She said in a flustered and exasperated manner, “You’re really rubbing it in!”

“Oh?” Lu Benwei was stunned. “I mean, if there’s no one at home during the new year, you can come to my house. My parents seem to like you a lot.”

“Huh? You want to invite me to your house?” Chu Yan was stunned. As she spoke, Chu Yan’s face turned from red with anger to red with shyness.

“Really?”

“It’s true!” Lu Benwei was very sincere.

“That’s not very good, is it?” Chu Yan became shy and said in a small voice, “We haven’t confirmed our relationship yet.”

“What did you just say?” Lu Benwei did not hear clearly.

“No, nothing…” Chu Yan thought for a moment and felt that there were some things she should not say.

Lu Benwei shrugged and said, “So, do you want to come?”

Chu Yan snorted. “Please, I’m a girl. I’m going to a boy’s house for the new year. I should at least discuss it with my seven aunts and eight uncles! If they knew that I’ll be spending the new year at a boy’s house, wouldn’t they immediately tell my father? My father likes you, but if he knows that I’m spending new year’s at your house, won’t he be giving us a few slaps?”

“Ah?” Lu Benwei was stunned, and his mouth twitched. “That’s not good.”

At this moment, he clenched his toes, so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole to hide in. ‘What am I thinking? Why did I suddenly have the idea to invite a girl to my house for the new year?’

Looking at Lu Benwei’s embarrassment, Chu Yan proudly ground her teeth.

Lu Benwei touched his nose to hide his embarrassment. “That’s true. Haha, Commander Chu will probably hang me up and beat me up.”

“Alright, alright, I’m just teasing you. My father isn’t that old-fashioned,” Chu Yan said as she stood up.

“What do you mean?” Lu Benwei asked.

Chu Yan opened the door of the ward and stepped out with one foot, only revealing her small head.

“It depends on the situation.”

After she finished speaking, she swaggered away, feeling very comfortable in her heart.

Lu Benwei looked at the time and realized that it was already past midnight. He shrugged and covered himself with the blanket.

…

At the same time.

The capital of the Dragon Kingdom, Yan Jing.

The conference room was still in a heated argument. They were divided into two factions, one radical and one conservative.

“If we leave him alone, will you be able to bear the responsibility when the Blood Monster Emperor becomes a great threat to mankind in the future?”

“Then aren’t the soldiers’ lives also lives? If you’re willing to let your soldiers die, then go!”

“The front line is in a tight situation now,” someone said, “If we transfer troops rashly, the casualties will not be small. Who can bear the responsibility if the frontline collapses?”

The front line referred to the coastline of the Dragon Kingdom.

Since the era of fierce monsters, all kinds of monsters had run amuck except for the countless secret realms that had descended on the ground. However, this was not the most terrifying part.

A thick fog emerged in the ocean of the Blue Planet, and all kinds of dangerous monsters were hidden in the fog. Out of the 72 demon clans, nearly 60 of them were located in the fog. They were constantly attacking various countries and were extremely dangerous.

All the countries had set up defensive lines along the coastline to defend against the most dangerous monsters. The front line was too important to the Dragon Kingdom. They could not afford to lose it.

Chu Tianxiong immediately fell silent and sat on the chair.

The Blood Monster Clan must be exterminated. However, it was impossible to rely on the Furious Dragon Legion alone.

“I’ll just say one last thing. If you can guarantee that you can stop the Blood Monster Emperor when he achieves great success in the future, I naturally have nothing to say.”

Pausing, Chu Tianxiong sternly said, “However, if you don’t and cause mankind to be destroyed, you’ll be condemned as sinners! You’re going to hell!”

“Chu Tianxiong, you’ve crossed the line!” Sun Yuanliang growled.

“I, Sun Yuanliang, have killed more enemies on the front lines than you, Chu Tianxiong! It’s not your place to evaluate my merits and demerits!”

“Enough!” Ji Hong said in a deep voice, repressing the anger in the meeting room.

“Commander Chu, you know the situation at the front line. It’s impossible for us to dispatch troops from the front line to support you.”

Chu Tianxiong was stunned, and the hope in his heart vanished.

“But… We can’t just ignore the Blood Monster Clan’s matter,” Ji Hong changed the topic.

“What do you mean?”

“Let’s do it this way. I’ll give you three months to find the location of the Blood Monster Clan’s territory,” Ji Hong said, “When the time comes, I’ll personally coordinate the troops. If it’s more than three months, I think the undying inborn formation will be completed. There’s no need to act anymore. We can only wait for other opportunities.”

Chu Tianxiong was overjoyed. “Yes! I’ll find the location of the Blood Monster Clan’s territory!”

He then stood up and bowed to everyone before leaving the conference room. After he closed the door, Sun Yuanliang let out a deep sigh.

“It’s all because of the divine fire.”

He put his feet on the table and dug his nails. “If only you had listened to me earlier. You should’ve annihilated the Yan family, the source of the divine fire, morally. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many problems. The undying inborn formation,” he said after a pause, “I don’t believe that the Blood Monster Clan spent so much effort just to achieve immortality.”

“Enough, Commander Sun, don’t say anymore.” Ji Hong stopped him.

Sun Yuanliang asked for a rebuff and shrugged his shoulders. “I don’t care if you’re the one who told Chu Tianxiong. If you can’t fulfill your promise, don’t blame me for losing my temper.”

…

Another week had passed.

Lu Benwei’s injury had completely recovered, and he was discharged from the hospital.

The end of the semester was approaching, and the students at Zhejiang Hunter University were nervously preparing for their final exams.

Lu Benwei did not panic at all. The final exam of the first semester was a piece of cake for him.
