He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

Chapter 134 In the Interstellar Space 32

Qu Yi has not yet been formally incorporated into the military. This time, she is in an externally assigned squad, so she naturally has no say in this kind of meeting. After the meeting, Qu Lianghan came back and told her the results of the meeting.

"A team of ordinary people?" Qu Yi was somewhat surprised.

“Yes, as you know, the Ninth Legion is made up of ordinary people, and this time it’s highly likely that it’s the Ninth Legion as well.” Qu Lianghan paused for a few seconds, then turned to her and said, “They just need a team of beastmen to escort them, and you’re very likely to be one of them. Actually, I’m a little worried. This is your first time on the battlefield, and such a… arduous mission shouldn’t be your responsibility…”

It sounds nice to call it hardship, but in reality, it's highly likely that you'll never come back.

Qu Yi interrupted him, saying, "Father, I am your daughter."

Qu Lianghan fell silent for a long time before sighing, "This mission is too dangerous, and the chances of success are too slim. If the mission fails, we will face a desperate battle with the Zerg, and you... may not be able to come back."

There was one more thing he didn't say.

Even if the mission succeeds, there is a very high chance that we will not return. We went on this mission with the determination to die.

Qu Yi didn't see Yan Bei the next day either, and didn't know where he had gone. She wanted to tell him that she was going to participate in this mission.

Before she could find him, the commander brought back a message first.

Yan Bei took the initiative to participate in the mission.

That small team of ordinary people.

He sneaked over; he shouldn't actually be participating.

However, he proved to the commander with his abilities that this mission could not be accomplished without him.

As one of the Empire's strongest beastmen, the commander touched his still aching chest and sighed, "Old Qu, aren't your two kids a bit too overpowered? This kid actually forced me to transform into a beastman, and in the end I only barely won. It's so embarrassing!"

Qu Lianghan was furious. He grabbed the man's collar and gritted his teeth, "My daughter has already gone, and you still want my son to go and die?! Where is your conscience?!"

The commander looked bitter: "I told him not to go, but he insisted. What could I do? Didn't you see how badly he beat me?"

At this moment, Yan Bei pushed open the door and entered. Seeing the two elders arguing, he said calmly, "Father, it was my own choice to go."

Qu Lianghan released the commander's clothes, pointed at him and cursed, "What did you go there for? Don't you know your mother is still waiting for you at home! Wasn't your sister going enough? You...you two are both in trouble, what am I going to do! How am I going to explain this to your mother!"

His eyes were bloodshot and red.

Yan Bei's expression softened, and he said in a rare tone, "Father, my sister hasn't told you yet, has she? Mother is pregnant."

Qu Lianghan was stunned, unsure whether to be happy or angry, so he shouted, "Just because you're pregnant, you think you can go and die?!"

“We all know this mission is fraught with danger. Will my sister really come back? Father, I won’t let her stay there alone. She asked me before what I would do if I couldn’t find her one day, and I said I would die there with her. My answer hasn’t changed. I can’t bear to see her die alone in the darkness. Please understand, Father.”

Qu Lianghan and the commander were both stunned.

In the end, Qu Lianghan could only sigh heavily.

Qu Yi overheard their conversation and asked Yan Bei, "Should I say you're foolish, or deeply in love?"

Yan Bei smiled and kissed the corner of her lips: "Whether it's foolishness or deep affection, it's all yours anyway."

Qu Yi: "You weren't like this before, how come you're so glib now?"

Yan Bei's lips curled up: "Give it a try."

Before he finished speaking, his thin lips pressed down, a gentle kiss like a soft breeze and a light rain, the tenderness tinged with the melancholy and regret of parting.
