[1] Apocalypse: Third Rebirth

Chapter 126: Yes I Am A Bitch

My tongue scrapped against the stubble that was starting to grow on Wang Chao's face. It was not enough to be able to easily see, but it was definitely there. I only again heard him chuckle as I quickly returned my tongue to my mouth, my face bright red.

"Does someone want to tell me what is going on?" asked Liu Yu Zeng as he stared between me and Wang Chao. My face turned an even brighter shade of red, if that was possible, as I looked up at the other three men staring down at me.

"I can only assume that this has something to do with Zhao Jia Li and her idea that 'if you lick it, it's yours'," said Liu Wei as he stared intently down at me. He was just as used to me as Wang Chao was after spending so much time together. To the point that even though he couldn't read my mind, he could certainly guess with a 90% accuracy rate.

"Does that mean we are all going to get licked?" asked Liu Yu Zeng, a devilish smirk on his face.

"Does that mean we can lick back?" added Chen Zi Han. Once again wishing that the ground could swallow me up, and once again, glad that it couldn't, I buried my face in Wang Chao's chest as it was the one in front of me.

"Yes," replied Wang Chao, giving them both of their answers at the same time.

"You guys are not going anywhere," barked Zhou Gang Jia as he marched back over to our small group. Luckily he was away looking after Zhao Jia Li during the whole licking incident or I might have died from embarrassment. As it was, I was pretty grateful for his interruption.

Wang Chao turned around, effectively placing me behind him as he spoke to the irritated man. "What now?" he demanded.

"Captain Zhao Jia Li has decided that you and Liu Wei are to be part of her team of bodyguards," said the Rear Admiral as if Zhao Jia Li was the one making all the decisions on base now. Truth be told, I was not surprised that this was her first demand.

"No." replied Liu Wei as if the very idea that they, the princes of City A and City H. would be willing to be lowly bodyguards for that woman.

"I'm afraid that you don't have a choice in the matter," replied Zhou Gang Jia as he straightened to his full height. I'm sure that it would have been very impressive if he was not attempting to out-alpha my men. As it was, he just came across looking like an idiot.

Wang Chao raised an eyebrow, looking down at the man. "Do you really think that?" he asked looking at the man seriously. "Do you really think that you can do whatever you want, command us however you want? Is that what you think?"

Uh oh, I am pretty sure that this was Wang Chao getting upset. And I could happily say that in the past two months, I had never seen the man that cranky.

The Rear Admiral snapped his fingers and a bunch of men with guns ran into the room decked out in full combat gear including bulletproof vests and helmets that obscured their features.

"Is this really the step that you want to take?" asked Liu Wei as he looked at the men that were currently surrounding us.

"No," admitted Zhou Gang Jia, "But Captain Zhao has made a few threats of her own, and between the two..." He drifted off as if it was clear whose side he was going to be on.

"Have you ever seen the effects of a poison user on a human?" asked Liu Yu Zeng as he let his dark mist engulf his hands. "I haven't," he continued like any response from the Rear Admiral was inconsequential. "But it might be fun to try."

'You should have killed her,' hissed the voice inside of me as I looked around at all the threats to my men. There were over 200 soldiers inside of the training hall, not to mention the new ones with the guns. I scoffed at the idea. 'Too late now,' I said not committing one way or another.
