THE GENERAL HAD ALSO FAILED IN SUCCESSFULLY KILLING THE ENEMY TODAY

Unedited

Bai Zhi slept extremely comfortably. He woke up and stayed in Wen Zhu Zhi’s arms for a while, he had happened to meet Wen Zhu Zhi’s two open eyes.

“Awake?”

Bai Zhi nodded. In the end, he couldn’t help saying, “Did you not sleep well?”

“I slept very well,” Wen Zhu Zhi’s face was quite hard to read.

“But you have very serious dark circles under your eyes, your complexion is also very lacking1. Could it be that you had a nightmare?” Bai Zhi ruthlessly exposed him.

Wen Zhu Zhi: ……You were the nightmare.

“I’m dissatisfied with the water and soil,” Wen Zhu Zhi fabricated it with a straight face. “Also, my arm feels numb.”

Bai Zhi immediately got up and looked at him, feeling rather embarrassed. 

“I’m sorry……”

“It doesn’t matter,” Wen Zhu Zhi spoke very stiffly. 

Bai Zhi smiled at hearing what he said. He scratched his head, opening his mouth, “I’ll make sure to sleep in another position tonight so that you won’t feel uncomfortable.”

Wen Zhu Zhi: ……Why do I feel that those words sound strange, no, he still wants to sleep in my arms tonight?

Wen Zhu Zhi corrected his expression, immediately refusing his words in righteousness, “Your Highness, we still have to maintain a relatively good distance. We are violating the military regulations by being excessively intimate.”

“When did the military regulations have this rule……” Bai Zhi was baffled, somewhat frustrated. “Okay, then I’ll stay away from you as much as possible.”

After saying that, he glanced at Wen Zhu Zhi. He turned around and left the cave, his voice seeming a bit aggrieved, “I’ll go find you stuff to eat, you wait here for me. Pay attention to your safety.”

As soon as the words had dropped, Bai Zhi ran out. Wen Zhu Zhi, who was frozen in place, suddenly felt a bit guilty. 

Had he said too much just now?

Wen Zhu Zhi replayed the dialogue from just now in his head n2 times and suddenly panicked a little.

Shao Luo had been pampered and spoiled since childhood, he definitely didn’t suffer any grievances. This time, it must have been difficult to save him. He must have used lots of effort to take the trouble of looking after him, surely, it wasn’t easy.

Wen Zhu Zhi sighed, he had even wanted to kill him last night. He had made him lose face, he must have run out just now because he could not bear it, right?

Should he be nice to him……

Wen Zhu Zhi silently thought and suddenly shook his head. No…… Shao Luo is the prince of the Empire, I should feel happy when he doesn’t feel happy. How could I care about his feelings!

He shouldn’t be confused by the enemy.

Wen Zhu Zhi nodded, reaffirming it again in his heart.

Even if the enemy was really cute, he wouldn’t.

As Wen Zhu Zhi was very conflicted in that spot, Bai Zhi was happily running around, not looking heartbroken like Wen Zhu Zhi had thought. 

“Uncle! What’s that, is it delicious!”

“Those are kiwis, they’re sweet and sour. Try it!”

Bai Zhi took a bunch at hearing what it said. He threw them into his mouth and chewed a few times.

“How is it?”

“It’s okay……” Bai Zhi chewed for a while and opened his mouth, “It’s a bit tastier than the human foods from the previous worlds, it just has no spiritual energy.”

“But spiritual fruits are very hard to find, except me, you’ll never find another place to provide you with spiritual fruits!” the system snorted3, very proudly saying. 

“Wow, that’s awesome,” Bai Zhi clapped. Somewhat curious, he asked, “Uncle, why do you have so many spiritual fruits?”

“This…… You shouldn’t ask. Hurry up and pick these fruits, Wen Zhu Zhi is still quite hungry.”

“I understand, I understand,” Bai Zhi gestured. He wandered back, the pockets of his clothing filled with a large bundle of kiwis. 

“Ai4…… I didn’t expect Wen Zhu Zhi to pay attention to military discipline that much. In the previous two worlds, he liked having physical contact with me,” Bai Zhi sighed as he walked.

“It’s all right, everyone has something they adhere to, we’ll respect him.”5

“En,” Bai Zhi nodded. “I must be very nice to him and absolutely shouldn’t throw myself at him every day!”

“Jiayou6, Nephew!”

Wen Zhu Zhi, who still didn’t know that he had screwed up: ……Huh? Why isn’t he back yet? Should I go look for him? No, I shouldn’t look for him. Wen Zhu Zhi, you’re a man, you must have integrity, hold back.

Wen Zhu Zhi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He thought he had perfectly convinced himself when he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps.

His body shook, he immediately made a weak appearance, dispiritedly leaning against the wall.

Bai Zhi ran back and offered a large bundle of fruits. He wiped it clean on his clothes and very carefully handed it over to Wen Zhu Zhi, “Try it. If you don’t like it, I’ll find other ones for you.”

Wen Zhu Zhi pursed his lips, lifting his hands to take it, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

“Don’t mention it,” Bai Zhi seated himself on the ground, looking at him with great anticipation.

Wen Zhu Zhi took a bite of the fruit under the man’s burning gaze, “It’s very delicious.”

Bai Zhi instantly became happy, “That’s good, I’ll give you all of it.”

“Has Your Highness already filled your belly?” Wen Zhu Zhi frowned.

“I,7 have naturally already eaten,” Bai Zhi turned his head. He got up and took a few steps, “I’ll go take a look at the situation in this area, call me if you need me.”

Wen Zhu Zhi watched the man leave the cave, the half-bitten fruit in his hand slowly8 moving.

He was lying.

Having worked on the battlefield for many years, he had seen many undercover prisoners of wars. Wen Zhu Zhi had perfected discerning9 things long ago.

When Shao Luo had answered on whether he had a meal or not, his eyes drifted, he didn’t dare look at him face-to-face, and his voice was also very unstable. It was very obvious that he could not lie at all.

He had not eaten at all.

Wen Zhu Zhi looked at the fruits on the ground, pondering over Shao Luo’s reasons for hiding the truth.

Although this fruit was rare, Wen Zhu Zhi had seen it several times. The kiwi tasted relatively good, it was edible, and it wasn’t poisonous.

Shao Luo didn’t intend to use this to harm him.

Could it be that…… A possibility suddenly crossed Wen Zhu Zhi’s mind. Because there weren’t many fruits, Shao Luo wanted to set aside the entire thing for me?

Thinking of this, Wen Zhu Zhi lowered his head and carefully counted the number of fruits.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. There are only seven. Sure enough, there’s very little.

Wen Zhu Zhi suddenly felt the man poke his heart. Shao Luo was obviously a prince, but in this life or death situation, he still thought about him.

How about he puts off the discussion about his silencing till tomorrow?

Bai Zhi, who was looking all over the place to check the situation, did not know that he had extended his life by one day because of his pickiness10. He had only walked a short distance around the cave then silently crouched as he waited for the system to survey the planet well.

But he hadn’t even waited for a moment when the sharp sound of an alarm had suddenly passed into his mind.

“Signs of living Zerg have been detected! Their distance from the host is four-hundred and ten metres and their distance from the villain, Wen Zhu Zhi, is…… Damn it, it’s fifty-three metres!”

Bai Zhi turned pale with fright at hearing what it said. He did not care whether he exposed his identity as a great demon or not and immediately flew11 back, heading straight for Wen Zhu Zhi’s direction.

Wen Zhu Zhi, who was in the cave, had also sensed an unusual odour. He was no longer hung up on the fruit on the ground and slowly stood up, taking a step back. He slowly took his blade out and his weak image was swept away. Wen Zhu Zhi held his breath and stared firmly at the entrance of the cave, the light in his eyes was sharp. 

The sound of footsteps very quickly came close and there seemed to be seven or eight people. Wen Zhu Zhi tightly held his military knife, waiting for the Zerg to come in and look around12. Outside, the sound of weapons clashing had rung out first.

The sound of gunshots rang out and it was earsplitting. 

Wen Zhu Zhi was shocked and immediately ran out.

At the entrance of the cave, three or four Zerg soldiers had already fallen. Green blood spilt on their chests, a foul odour coming from it.

Not too far away, Bai Zhi was fighting the remaining Zerg troops. He moved nimbly to evade their long antennae and rolled over, shooting with his left hand. Two Zerg figures fell to the ground. 

The remaining Zerg, who saw their comrades fall to the ground, were somewhat afraid. Bai Zhi saw another chance and shot, but it didn’t bring about any harm.

Wen Zhu Zhi was shocked to see this. Shao Luo had no bullets.

The few remaining Zerg had also realised and immediately swarmed in. Bai Zhi quickly took out his military knife, heading straight for the nearest Zerg. The sound of metals colliding entered his ears and Bai Zhi repeatedly waved his blade, not forgetting to shout at Wen Zhu Zhi, who was by the side.

“You leave first!”

Wen Zhu Zhi’s grip on his blade tightened.

If he left now, Shao Luo would most likely get caught up in the danger and he could effortlessly take his blade and dispose this prince. 

He died under the siege of the Zerg and he went all out to break the siege, yet wasn’t able to save His Highness and he felt really guilty.

It was a flawless excuse.

Wen Zhu Zhi thought for a while and made up his mind.

Whilst Bai Zhi was fighting the Zerg, he was also paying attention to Wen Zhu Zhi. Seeing him finally take a step, his mind relaxed.

If Wen Zhu Zhi left, he would be all right. As soon as he leaves, relying on himself and the system, these Zerg would not be feared at all.

Bai Zhi had already thought of a good plan in his mind, but there was suddenly the unharmonious sound of weapons striking each other ringing out.

Wen Zhu Zhi held his blade with one hand, his face was fierce as he entered the battlefield and he cut straight through the Zerg with his blade.

Bai Zhi: “……???”

What13 is this situation!

Didn’t Wen Zhu Zhi have serious injuries!

The weak Wen Zhu Zhi calmly raised his blade then lowered it. And in one move, he wiped the Zerg clean.

Bai Zhi looked at the corpses in miserable conditions all over the place in front of him. He was so surprised he forgot to put his blade away.

“You, has your body recovered?”

Wen Zhu Zhi frowned at hearing what he said, “I……”

However, before he could finish speaking, he fell to the ground. Bai Zhi’s eyes swiftly saw it and his hand quickly caught him. Then he saw him pull a smile with great difficulty.

“Just exhausted…… Sorry……”

After he spoke, he passed out.

Bai Zhi, who was helping the man up: ……

He had nearly become unable to make sense of this world.

But what’s done is done, Bai Zhi was unable to speak any more. He could not stay there for long, he picked up some weapons and food from the bodies of the dead Zerg soldiers, and after, he carried Wen Zhu Zhi on his back and quickly ran off.

As he vigorously ran, he also took note of the situation of his surroundings. Bai Zhi did not dare breathe too much, only thinking that he had never been this nervous.

When he was fighting the Zerg just now, he really was somewhat afraid. But you couldn’t say that he was unable to beat them. The Zerg’s strength was a few levels higher than the humans from before. Even though Bai Zhi had lived as a demon for a very long time, he had never seen such an odd species.

They were ugly and weird, what if they injured Wen Zhu Zhi?

He had numerous misgivings in his heart. He had just found that person and had not yet finished accompanying him for the rest of his life.

No matter what, he had to be protected.

Bai Zhi gritted his teeth, tightly carrying the unconscious Wen Zhu Zhi on his back. His mind gradually had some odd thoughts.

It was always that person looking after him, coaxing and protecting him as if he were a treasure. But this time, his body had suffered serious injuries and he was in a dangerous situation.

Bai Zhi pursed his lips, taking a deep breath.

And so, this time, he would do the same as that person and protect the man on his back very well. 

The author has something to say:
Zerg: Get rid of the one that’s seriously injured, first.

Wen Zhu Zhi: Hack.

Zerg: ……Get rid of the prince that looks like a delicate noble.

Bai Zhi: Chop.

Zerg: Humans are all big pig trotters14, wuwuwu.

As in, lacking colour.Said ‘n遍’ in the raws. It was originally a mathematical term, it’s a variable so you can substitute it with any number. For example, you could say he replayed the dialogue in his head 50 times.Said ‘哼’ which = humph, but that’s onomatopoeia.It’s a sigh.Yesss, respect people’s boundaries!加油 = Jiayou = Used to cheer someone on.It’s a slight pause in the sentence, I usually leave it as a comma.Says ‘迟迟’ which means that the action was done too late.火眼金睛 = Discerning eyes.嘴刁 = Being picky about eating.He ran so fast that it was like he was flying.探头探脑 = To stick one’s head out and look around (idiom).He said ‘what’ with a dialect.An insult usually used by women for scums, fickle men, etc.

Zenne: This time, Bai Zhi is protecting him, aww.
