A-Ci darling and Xiao Huo-gege

thank you‍⁠‍‍​‍‍‍‍​⁠‌​⁠​‍​​⁠‌‍⁠​‍ for the ko-fi donation Darius!

Although it was well known that Major General Jiang Ci and the Zerg King had already bonded, when he was in Bright City, the thin-skinned Major General Jiang Ci still cared about his public image.

So in public, they were always extremely proper. They called each other by their full names and avoided any over-the-top physical intimacy, which was completely different from those AO mushy couples who were sticky and sticky almost all day longafter bonding.

—It was a blessing for all the single dog Alphas around.

An Alpha officer who once secretly witnessed them kissing in the conference room was indignant, but no one would believe him even if he spoke up.

Until now. Until Huo Xianfeng shamelessly used the public comms channel to call out, “A-Ci darling.”

In that moment, everyone in the First Legion, including Zhou Jiuya, was stunned. At least according to Zhou Jiuya’s understanding, Jiang Ci would either ignore him or shut him down. After all, he thought he knew just how thin-skinned the kid was.

However…

Wan Jiang sighed.

“Xiao Jiu, it seems you don’t understand the child that well. I have told you a long time ago that the data shows that omegas like to act cute.”

Zhou Jiuya: “…”

If all omegas liked to act cute, then why… had he never seen it happen in his entire life?

Anyway, that one “Xiao Huo-gege~” made Zhou Jiuya’s mind go completely blank, let alone the compliments that followed, like “so strong,” and “so handsome.” Wait, the child could say such sweet words!?

He could be this clingy too?!

It wasn’t just Zhou Jiuya—the entire First Legion was in shock.

Amid the fierce battlefield, the sound of artillery fire echoed continuously in all directions, but at this moment, everyone felt that the whole world seemed to be dead silent.

Because the public communication channel was also in a dead silence at this moment, some people did not dare to speak, and others were afraid to laugh out loud. However, the private communication channels of each team were very lively.

“Holy shit, so that’s what they’re like in private?!”

“I told you!!! I saw them in the conference room last time! None of you believed me!”

“‘A-Ci darling’?? ‘Xiao Huo-gege’?? Help me, my teeth are about to fall out.”

“Wuwuwwuwu! As expected, omegas really do act cute… When will I ever get one??”

Most of the military were single dogs and they were caught off guard by this bite of dog food. Even the serious battlefield atmosphere dissipated in seconds.

Jiang Ci, now fully suffering secondhand embarrassment, wanted nothing more than to charge over and beat the hell out of Huo Xianfeng. After confirming for the third time that this was supposed to be a private channel between Bai Ze and the Forbidden Abyss, he couldn’t hold it in any longer.

“Huo Xianfeng—!!!”

“Yes, it’s me~”

During the courtship period, the King felt that as long as Jiang Ci called his name, even if his wife was yelling at him, it was very pleasant to him.

“You just now, you fucking did that on purpose!”

“Mhm mhm, A-Ci is so smart, he figured it out right away.”

Jiang Ci: “…”

“Damn you, Huo Xianfeng! Talk properly!”

“Oh, okay.”

The King’s voice instantly turned calm and steady. He tried to lower it a little and said,

“So the Major General likes it rough, huh? I knew you were into older men.”

“…Huo Xianfeng!!!”

“Mn?”

“Enough, shut up!”

BOOM—!

Huo Xianfeng turned around just in time to see Bai Ze erupt from the ground, blasting into the sky with incredible force that kicked up a massive whirlwind. In the next second, Bai Ze flipped mid-air, raised its silver spear, and hurled it downward with violent force. Wrapped in a storm of lightning, the spear shot straight toward where the Forbidden Abyss stood.

Wait a second—weren’t they just spreading dog food a moment ago? How did it suddenly…?!

At that moment, the ground at the target site split open. A massive Zerg mecha had just poked its head out before being pierced straight through the skull. But it reacted quickly, and unlike the other mechas around it whose programs were in chaos, it actually opened its defense shield immediately.

Boom—!

Huo Xianfeng frowned slightly and swept a glance over his shoulder.

Jiang Ci felt the fusion of spiritual power again, and his whole body went numb. In the next instant, Bai Ze broke free from his control. It shot toward the Forbidden Abyss at full speed, shrinking rapidly mid-air before slamming into the open landing port with a thunderous crash.

But among these clusters, many First Legion mechas had been swept up with them.

“Holy shit! What the hell! What’s going on! I was taken away by the Zergs!!!”

“Help! Same here!”

“Damn, they’re so aggressive… I can’t break free!”

Zhou Jiuya was stunned. He hadn’t expected this at all.

Even the Church army, still in the middle of fierce combat, was caught off guard. Before they could react, they only saw the enemy camp either quickly open the defense shield or quickly form a group.

But the answer came quickly. And violently.

At this moment, the battlefield was in chaos, like a pot of boiling water, with Zerg mechas exploding everywhere. High-energy shockwaves filled the air, and the burning debris exploded outward in bright jets, blasting across the area in every direction.

Wan Jiang instantly activated his shield. But at this moment, he felt the ground behind him shake violently.

Zhou Jiuya turned around, only to see that the Forbidden Abyss had once again squatted right behind him. His scarlet electronic eyes flashed just like last time, as if he was winking playfully.

This scene was damn familiar. Even at this moment, Zhou Jiuya’s mind was filled with Huo Xianfeng’s words from last time—

[Commander~ I’m out of energy, I’ll leave the defense shield to you~]

This time, Zhou Jiuya finally lost it—

“Huo Xianfeng! Can’t you open your own damn shield for once?!”

Why was he always mooching off his?!

Huo Xianfeng said totally unbothered: “I’m out of energy.”

Zhou Jiuya was gritting his teeth as he struggled to hold off the explosions.

“Where’s your energy?! Didn’t we fill your reserves before deployment? Can’t you be a little more conservative?!”

The Forbidden Abyss hadn’t even fought much yet and Huo Xianfeng was so strong that no one could fight him. How the hell could he be low on energy already?!

Huo Xianfeng replied lightly,

“Oh, I gave it to our Bai Ze. It had a rough time just now so we had to feed it.”

Zhou Jiuya choked: “……”

Bai Ze: “Ohhh!!!”

I-I’m flattered!!!

If Bai Ze could be personified at this moment, it would probably resemble one of those Taobao homepage images—“ girlfriend moved to tears, covering her mouth in joy upon receiving a gift.”

Jiang Ci, who was sitting in the passenger seat, covered his face silently. Though Huo Xianfeng referred to Bai Ze, he was certain his uncle would read between the lines and grasp the underlying implication.

Besides, there was no way he could refuse it, because Bai Ze’s energy reserves were indeed running low. Jiang Ci had left in a hurry and left with only 60%. He had just experienced a great battle and had lost a lot of energy.

When Xiao X heard this, it became jealous and got a little mad!

“Why don’t I get anything?! Xiao X worked hard too, you know! Fengfeng darling, you’re too biased!!!”

“……”

Fe-Fengfeng darling?!

Zhou Jiuya’s expression instantly twisted as if he’d swallowed a fly.

He couldn’t take it. That earlier “Xiao Huo-gege” was barely tolerable, but “Fengfeng darling” was beyond his limits.

As a hardened, straight Alpha with years of military service, Zhou Jiuya had a natural, visceral aversion to these cutesy repetition nicknames, not to mention when they were used for Huo Xianfeng.

Jiang Ci was young and an Omega—calling him “darling” was fine. But Huo Xianfeng? A 300-year-old Zerg being called “ darling “?!

Zhou Jiuya’s skin crawled so hard he could practically feel his goosebumps hitting the floor. He immediately hung up the call.

—The world instantly felt fresher and more beautiful.
