Chapter 126: Eldest sister-in-law

Long Zhanye's military uniform is rather special. The collar and shoulders are black, the buttons on his long, camouflage-patterned coat left unfastened all the way through, exposing the white collared shirt beneath. Tailored to fit his lean frame, perfectly pressed and straight black slacks coupled with polished black combat boots complete his outfit, presenting a very smart and handsome image.

Nodding his head in agreement, Huo Zaiyuan smiles. "Un, you were right. It is indeed very smart."

"Naturally. Now, why did you come all the way out here?" Long Zhanye wraps an arm around his shoulders, eyeing the thunderstruck soldiers. "Did they bully you?"

His implication cannot be any clearer. If they bullied you, I'll take revenge on your behalf.

"I didn't see you this past couple of days, so I decided to come over..." Huo Zaiyuan replies. "They are all pretty interesting."

The few soldiers tensed the moment they hear Long Zhanye's words, sweating as though they are about to face the death penalty. But Huo Zaiyuan's next sentence saves their little lives, moving them to the point of almost getting down on their knees.

Not only did they boast and gossip about their Boss' past conquests, they even mocked this little older brother. But he unexpectedly didn't say he was bullied by them.

A glare from Long Zhanye is enough to scare them back into standing at attention, afraid to slip up and provoke the demon king's anger. If that happens, they can only look forward to a beating later.

"I'm hungry, let's have lunch together." Pulling Huo Zaiyuan to his side with an arm around his waist, Long Zhanye leads him into the command centre, speaking softly as they walk.

"Un, what would you like to eat?"

Listening to the conversation between those two men, the soldiers standing at attention in a straight line can't help feeling really curious. As soon as the pair walks out of hearing range, Hao zi is the first to give into his inquisitiveness.

"Oh my god, was that really the demon king? I must have woken up on the wrong side of bed this morning."

"You didn't. That really was the demon king," Hui zi answers slowly, still in a daze.

"We are done for. We just leaked out a lot of gossip about the demon king. That child – eh...if that little older brother tells on us, then wouldn't the demon king skin us alive?!" Curly-hair exclaims as he suddenly realises just how much they let slip in front of Huo Zaiyuan.

"Hao zi said the most. He even said Boss likes assertive women and that little older brother is too skinny!" Bei zi looks at Hao zi with an expression of "you are doomed".

"Eh...s – so what? Lao Qian even said Boss was pretty intimate with a younger sister who dropped by his office!" Hao zi exclaims, pointing at lao Qian even as his face turns redder and redder with every passing second.

"Also, Dong zi (the third person in the car) also mentioned...blahblahblah..."

"Blahblahblah..."

The five of them quarrel, voices growing louder and louder until a fight breaks out between them at the front gates of the command centre. The ruckus attracts quite a lot of survivors who opt to stand around and watch. A few even sit down in preparation for a good show.

Within Huo Zaiyuan's space, it is normal to have a few hot dishes already prepared as well as cooked rice. With Huo Zaiyuan here, the ordinary food in the command centre's canteen is unable to incite Long Zhanye's appetite.
