NOVEL NEXT Chapter 382: How Did the Child Get Brought In?
Seeing Ye Chen and Hong Ye fall asleep, the driver made sure to drive steadily, providing Ye Chen and Hong Ye with a good sleeping environment.
Until 7:30 the next morning, the car slowly came to a stop.
Ye Chen and Hong Ye woke up one after the other.
"You two are awake now, we've arrived." The driver looked ahead, his eyes flickering with a hint of surprise.
Ye Chen looked forward and was slightly taken aback.
The first thing that caught his eye was an endless expanse of ice.
Beyond the ice was layer upon layer of mist, blocking the view and obscuring anything in the depths.
Hong Ye and Ye Chen got out of the car one after the other.
The others had already disembarked and were lined up together, looking at the scene in front of them.
They were all somewhat stunned by the sight.
Snowflakes fell piece by piece, and the whole world seemed to be in a frozen landscape.
"It's surprising to see such a scene here."
"But it is indeed quite beautiful."
"The air is so fresh here, and it's so cold and crisp."
Ye Chen released Genggeng, who took a deep breath and exclaimed excitedly, "It's so refreshing and comfortable!"
Genggeng ran around excitedly, waving his arms wildly.
"Genggeng, see if there are any treasures nearby."
Genggeng rolled his eyes at Ye Chen, "This place is bare, how could there be any treasures?"
Genggeng snorted and hugged himself.
Ye Chen felt a little embarrassed, but Genggeng had a point; it was indeed barren with nothing here.
Zhang Zheng's beautiful eyes flickered, and at the sight of Genggeng, her eyes lit up.
Zhang Zheng approached Genggeng, squatted down, and looked at him, cheerfully saying, "What an adorable little girl! How did you bring such a cute little girl to such a dangerous place?"
Genggeng pushed Zhang Zheng's hand away and snorted, "Who told you I'm a little girl! I'm Genggeng the little genius, a noble Creation Tier pet! Hmph!"
Zhang Zheng was slightly taken aback, and after checking Genggeng's information, her pupils shook.
"Truly! Truly a Creation Tier pet! Who in their right mind would bring a Creation Tier pet to such a risky endeavor! It's madness!"
Ye Chen glanced suspiciously at Zhang Zheng.
Hong Ye explained, "This person is named Zhang Zheng, from the Holy Maiden Army. The Holy Maiden Army is composed entirely of women; they don't accept men."
"It's actually curious, a girl having such an odd name," Ye Chen chuckled.
"What's strange about that? She's the second in command; it's actually quite a nice name. The first is called Zhang Chang, the third is called Zhang Liang, what of it?"
Hong Ye laughed.
"So is the fourth and fifth called Zhang Wan and Zhang Li?"
Ye Chen jokingly chuckled.
Hong Ye was taken aback and exclaimed, "How did you know!"
Ye Chen was speechless; it actually turned out to be true.
Hearing Ye Chen and Hong Ye discussing her, Zhang Zheng walked over.
"What are you two laughing at, making fun of someone's name, is it fun?"
Ye Chen looked at Zhang Zheng, who was quite imposing, with a generous frame and height, fair-skinned and pretty.
It's just that her temper seemed rather blunt.
Hong Ye quickly apologized, "Sorry, Miss Zhang Zheng, it was our mistake, I apologize to you here."
Hearing Hong Ye's apology, Zhang Zheng couldn't act up anymore and coldly snorted before leaving.
Hong Ye wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Was it necessary to be so scared?"
Hong Ye said with lingering fear, "You don't understand, the Holy Maiden Army is a division no one dares to offend. If you offend them, you'll be drowned by their criticisms. They won't lay a hand on you but will collectively condemn you, standing before you pointing out your faults. Imagine, over a thousand girls, how terrifying!"
Ye Chen could imagine, after all, as the saying goes, three women make a play, and with so many women, just the noise could drive you insane.
At that moment, a man from the Vanguard Army stepped forward, standing in front of everyone and loudly said, "Everyone, please quiet down, I am Qing Feng, the Captain of the Second Squad of the Vanguard Army. We all come from different divisions, maybe only knowing each other but not understanding, so I suggest we select a speaker among us, so in future matters, we can have someone to respond to!"
Qing Feng was slender, appearing very upright.
The crowd heard this and remained silent.
Seeing no one speak, Qing Feng smiled and said, "It seems no one objects, does anyone have a recommended candidate?"
The crowd stayed silent.
A person beside Ye Chen murmured, "What's this guy up to?"
"Isn't it obvious? He's vying for the speaker role, just let him have it. Having a speaker to make decisions and lead is somewhat beneficial."
Seeing the continuous silence, Qing Feng's smile grew broader.
"Since there are no recommendations, let me recommend someone. It is none other than the Captain of the First Squad of the Vanguard Army, Mr. Xiang Yin. Captain Xiang Yin has extensive combat and command experience; everyone can fully trust him!"
At that moment, a man stepped forward, exuding a delicate charm all over.
The man lightly smiled and said, "Everyone, I am the Captain of the First Squad of the Vanguard Army, Xiang Yin, perhaps some of you have heard of me, I won't introduce myself further. Rest assured, I will lead you well and strive to make the best decisions for everyone to return safely."
Xiang Yin's tone carried a hint of arrogance.
The Vanguard Army clapped enthusiastically, clearly approving this choice for speaker.
"Xiang Yin? Have you heard of him?"
"No! I've not heard of him!"
"Then what's with the attitude? All vague rumors, what nonsense."
The two beside him sneered.
Ye Chen turned to Hong Ye, "Senior brother, is this guy famous?"
Hong Ye laughed, "He's okay I guess, but as the Captain of the First Squad of the Vanguard Army, he does have some capability."
Ye Chen nodded, acknowledging.
At that moment, Xiang Yin continued, "Some might be uneasy with me being the speaker alone. To avoid the Pioneer Team becoming my one-man show, let the Holy Maiden Army's eldest disciple, Ms. Zhang Chang, be the second in command!"
Standing beside Zhang Zheng, Zhang Chang froze, her beautiful eyes slightly furrowed.
The crowd turned their eyes to Zhang Chang, filled with admiration, as Zhang Chang was exceptionally beautiful and distinguished.
Slender figure, with long, straight legs.
Being hit by those legs could leave one bedridden for a week.
Zhang Chang's beautiful eyes slightly furrowed, but she still nodded in agreement.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Yin smiled.
"Using this as an excuse to woo Zhang Chang the fairy, how shameless, it's like shamelessness opening a door for itself; it's gone to the extreme! What a scum!" spat someone indignantly.
