Chapter 76 Is this the punishment?
"Hey, Instructor Xue is here. How's the mission going?"
A rugged-looking man and his squad had been waiting for a long time. He was the luckiest; his mission required the shortest distance, so he finished it early.
Even Xueyan, a peak Qi Refining cultivator, was somewhat tired. She waved her hand, shook her specially made demon beast pouch, and didn't want to say anything.
"Ha, you are... Go collect that Thousand-Year-Old Pine quest, it gives a lot of military merit points. You, don't push yourself so hard. Right now, you're just hoping for a sliver of opportunity. Maybe it's hidden in a comfortable quest?"
The man stretched. That's how Xueyan is; whenever a mission is assigned, she chooses whichever has the highest military merit points.
"Get some rest. How far have you walked? One hundred and fifty li... Wait, you old hag!!! Watch yourself!"
"Hey, how can you talk like that!" The second captain immediately stepped forward. "What did our instructor do to you? What right do you have to swear at people?"
Not only were the new recruits led by Xueyan glaring at him, but even his own recruits looked puzzled.
"Do you think you have the right to interrupt when the instructor is speaking? Seriously, I'm trying to save you, and you're ungrateful for my kindness."
Now it was the other new recruits' turn to be confused. What's the connection between swearing and saving someone?
Although the burly man was facing Xueyan's troops, he had a keen ear and knew exactly what his recruits were doing. "Stand still and don't move, or I'll really show you what punishments comparable to the Ten Great Tortures are like." He then began to discipline the noisy recruits.
One after another, they each said something, but Xueyan remained silent, pretending not to hear, and continued walking forward.
At this moment, the last three teams in the procession were walking with Xuan Jing carrying a straight wooden stick, swaggering around, while Zhong Ming and Yue Kaishan carried wheelchairs and chatted casually.
He was explaining to Yue Kaishan what happened after he fell asleep.
"Ah, so I fell asleep because I inhaled some sleeping powder that drifted over? Does that mean I inhaled some veterinary drug?"
"Pretty much. After I carried you down from the tree, I immediately ran towards Instructor Xueyan. Guess what? The camp was also attacked by tigers."
"That's alright. It's just that the instructor asked us to treat the tiger as a great monster, but it's not a real great monster."
"Indeed, Team One and Team Two caught them in their traps immediately, and then I got criticized. To be honest, you also had a problem. Why didn't you tell Chen Dahai where you were going before leaving? And you chose a spot that would be affected by the wind. As a result, as the team leader, I took the blame alone. Let me tell you, it was terrifying. Instructor Xueyan said to remember that punishment..."
The male instructor keenly picked up on this remark and, with a "the more the merrier" attitude, cheerfully stopped Zhong Ming.
"Hey, shorty, you said you made a big mistake, and Xueyan still owes you punishment?"
"Uh, you... Hello, Instructor, it's like this..." The group was startled by the man who suddenly spoke to them, but he was quite familiar with them, his smile almost overflowing. He waved vigorously and shouted, "Xueyan, come here!"
"You wretched woman, doesn't he still owe you a punishment?" Xueyan walked over slowly with a stern face, stopping a few meters in front of the man. She put her hands on her hips slightly and asked coldly, "So what if he does?"
“I have a suggestion,” the man said with a wicked grin, “why don’t you let him wash your feet?”
Matt: ? ? ?
Second Captain: ? ? ?
Chen Dahai, Xuan Jing, and others: ? ? ?
Why should we reward him?
Weren't we just talking about punishment? Look at Xueyan's beautiful face, look at her skin, and you're telling me to wash her feet?
At least half of the men present were thinking, "If that's really the case, should I also make a mistake?"
"roll!"
She angrily kicked the man, but he grabbed her ankle.
"You disagree? I'll take off your shoes right here and now. Every single one of these greenhorn recruits here will be caught."
"Su Longshan, are you trying to cause trouble?"
"Yeah, it's not like you don't know what kind of person I am. I can't be the only one suffering like this. Everyone has to be dragged down with me."
The man chuckled, grabbed Xue Da Meiren's ankle, and twirled her around. He leaned to the side, whispered in Zhong Ming's ear, "You know what? Your instructor's feet are incredibly smelly, you could use them as a biological weapon. Last time we went on a mission together, to the swamp..."
"Shut up!" This was the first time Zhong Ming had heard his cold and ruthless instructor's voice tinged with exasperation.
"So, do you agree or not? If you don't agree, I'm taking my clothes off!"
Su Longshan grabbed her shoes with his other hand, looking like he had her cornered.
The new recruits from the first and second teams angrily moved forward, but the closer they got, the less Xueyan dared to move.
"Don't move, okay, consider today unlucky."
I don't know whether they're talking about Zhong Ming being unlucky or Xue Yan being unlucky.
Su Longshan released his grip and saw Xueyan leave without looking back. He then kicked Zhong Ming in the butt, saying, "Enjoy it. I promise it will be an unforgettable memory."
A sense of unease crept into Zhong Ming's heart.
Could it really be... something terrible?
He took a few deep breaths, which made Su Longshan laugh out loud. Xue Yan's face darkened, and she grabbed Zhong Ming's shoulder with one hand. In an instant, she moved like a rabbit and almost crashed into the rest room in the distance.
New recruits: '?? No, really?! I'm so excited!'
Zhong Ming felt the world spin around him, a fierce wind swept by, and when he came to his senses, he found himself alone with a woman in a room. He immediately felt his throat go dry.
"Ahem, uh, instructor, we don't have to do everything he says. He's not our superior."
"Quihong, do you know the Turtle Breathing Technique?" Xueyan asked seriously, she was really considering using it as a form of punishment!
"Uh... I haven't learned that."
"How long can you hold your breath?"
"I haven't calculated it. I haven't cultivated any abilities in this area," Zhong Ming said truthfully.
"That's good, you won't suffer for long." Xueyan seemed to have made up her mind. "I know what kind of person Su Longshan is. Go and fetch me a basin of hot water now."
She thought to herself that Su Longshan must have overheard something from the third captain. He loved to befriend people with loyalty, so it was probably something about taking responsibility and leading his unconscious teammates out of danger. He probably wanted to pull this kid into his team.
What kind of team is the most united? A team that shares secrets.
Is this guy already planning his future as a team leader after becoming a Foundation Establishment stage member? He's setting his sights so high, are you flying a kite with your eyes?
"Um, instructor, the water is ready."
Zhong Ming stood there holding a basin of water, visibly at a loss.
"Leave it there."
She turned her face away, activated her breathing technique, slightly raised her jade-like foot, and whispered:
"Take off your shoes."
