Feng Tianlan lifted her eyes and sized him up. He was an old man who was around seventy or eighty years old, with a head full of white hair and a pair of bright eyes. With the strength of an Advanced-stage Heavenly Supreme, naturally he belonged to a strong party. Seeing how kindly he smiled, she lightly nodded and greeted, “Commander.”
An Advanced-stage Heavenly Supreme willing to guard a small regiment of less than a hundred people would easily earn their respect. And also, it might be where his home was.
The commander made a gentle hum and then looked at the porcelain bottle in Feng Tianlan’s hand. “Crazy missy…”
Xiao Xiao flew into anxiety when she saw her idol being addressed by the wrong name and said, “Grandfather, it’s Feng as in Phoenix! The ‘Feng’ character that is derived from the mythological bird, Phoenix!”
The commander of the Regiment mouthed an “oh” and said, “Crazy missy…”
Xiao Xiao reached out and grabbed the commander’s ear and then loudly corrected him, “It’s Feng! Feng as in Phoenix!”
With regard to such an appellation, Feng Tianlan frowned. How could she ascertain that it was not intentional?
“Crazy…” Before the commander could finish speaking, he found Xiao Xiao pulling him by his ear. So he hurriedly changed his choice of words and said, “Lazy missy…”
Xiao Xiao continued to correct him loudly, “It’s ‘Lan’ as in waves! Not ‘Lan’ as in lazy!”
Mei’er wormed her way through the crowd and held on to Feng Tianlan’s arm. In her cloyingly sweet voice, she said, “Grandfather is like that, a little of a dotard. He changes the names he addresses people by from day to day, and often enough, this causes people to forget their own names.”
Feng Tianlan responded with a faint “hmm.” She looked down at that large mass of white flesh rubbing against her arm and pulled her arm back forcefully. In an indifferent voice, she said, “Mei’er, talk nicely.”
She did not want Mei’er to be rubbing those big boobs of hers against her arm when she pleased. She herself had boobs, and she did not need someone else rubbing theirs on her!
“Hoho!” Mei’er gave a flirtatious smile and closed the distance between her and Feng Tianlan again. Then she said, “This is the way to talk nicely.”
Feng Tianlan’s face was cold with indifference. She lightly cast a glance at Mei’er while silently mustering the Ice Spiritual Force within her palm. Then, the big fair boobs that Mei’er had kept pressed against that arm of Feng Tianlan instantly became icy-cold. In fact, a layer of frost had formed on her clothes.
Mei’er felt a chill on the front of her chest and let out an alarmed cry. She hurriedly released her hand that was grabbing onto Feng Tianlan’s arm. Looking at the thin layer of frost on the latter’s clothes, she stared at Feng Tianlan in a coquettish yet disapproving manner. Massaging her big, frozen boobs, she pouted and grumbled in a flirtatious manner, “Lan’er, you’re so bad~”
Hearing that coquettish yet chilling voice of Mei’er, Feng Tianlan could feel all the goosebumps rising on her skin. And she really wanted to punch Mei’er. She wanted to punch Mei’er to the point where her voice went back to normal.
“Feng… Missy.” The commander of the Regiment, after being corrected umpteen times, finally changed the way he called her, albeit with great difficulty. “Crazy missy, you can call me Grandfather, just like how they all do. The moment you joined us, you became family.”
An exasperated Xiao Xiao held onto her head and felt like crying, though there were no tears to shed. She committed herself to correcting him with great persistence. “Grandfather, it’s Feng. ‘Feng’ as in Phoenix!”
Tianlan was someone she idolized, so she could not allow her image to be ruined just with such a single utterance by Grandfather.
Feng Tianlan simply responded with a light “hmm” and greeted, “Grandfather.”
Hearing her greet him, the commander squinted his eyes in a kindly manner and pulled something out of his storage ring. He handed her something and said, “Here, this is the badge of the Regiment. You can put it on first and get registered later.”
Feng Tianlan took whatever he had given and looked at the pink, heart-shaped badge. The corners of her mouth twitched involuntarily. This was such a solemn mercenary regiment, so couldn’t they be a little more stringent with the design of their regimental badge?
“Tianlan, I was the one who thought of this design. What do you think? Is it nice?” Xiao Xiao lowered her head as she drew her face closer and looked at Feng Tianlan with her starry eyes. The expression in her eyes was simply one that was begging for Feng Tianlan’s compliment and praise.
Feng Tianlan looked at the big and tall Xiao Xiao. She was 1.8 meters tall, but she had a pretty and adorable look. With Xiao Xiao’s bright, starry eyes looking at her, Feng Tianlan nodded with a cold expression and said, “Yes, it looks nice.”
“Mei’er, hear that? It looks nice, nicer than your idea of using a bellyband with the image of a beauty for our badge of the Regiment,” said Xiao Xiao, who turned around to show off to Mei’er.
Upon hearing this, the corners of Feng Tianlan’s mouth twitched. It was a good thing the badge of the Regiment did not turn out to be a bellyband bearing the image of a beauty. With something like that in comparison, the pink and delicate heart-shaped badge was indeed nice.
