Chapter 649: Ointment!

Translator: Lordbluefire

Yan Zixuan turned his head and saw a group of female soldiers running toward him. Their movements were agile, and their clothes were neat, completely different from the male soldiers who would run and get dressed at the same time during their morning baths. The female soldiers were indeed pressed for time, but they were more particular about their appearance, so they were all properly dressed.

Moreover...

Yan Zixuan looked at their legs. When the training ended yesterday, these female soldiers could barely walk due to their weak legs. They had to support each other to leave the field. Logically, ordinary people should feel more sore and painful the day after, but these female soldiers did not.

They all looked energetic, obviously having had a good night’s sleep. Their legs moved naturally while walking, showing no signs of limping!

Yan Zixuan was puzzled.

He couldn’t help but look at Shen Ruojing, who seemed calm, as if the female soldiers’ condition was all within her plan.

Yan Zixuan couldn’t help but look down at the ointment in his hand.

Could this ointment really be so effective?

He subconsciously looked at Luo Yan and asked, “Is your back alright now?”

Upon hearing this, Luo Yan immediately glared at him.

She had slept in his shirt last night, so she was quite comfortable. This morning, she got up before the female soldiers woke up. She then took off her shirt and hid it, fearing they would ask where the shirt came from...

Now this man dared to ask about her back in broad daylight...

It was simply outrageous!

Yan Zixuan who was glared at.”??”

He scratched his head inexplicably and then coughed. “Alright, let’s start today’s training!”

Today’s training was not as tough as yesterday’s.

After all, Yan Zixuan had witnessed how hard Luo Yan tried not to fall behind yesterday, and he also saw the large area on her back where her clothes had been torn. So today, he only asked the female soldiers to undergo normal training.

After the morning training ended, Shen Ruojing looked at Yan Zixuan and asked, “When is the martial arts competition?”

Yan Zixuan replied, “In one month.”

“Good, that’s enough time.” Shen Ruojing looked at Yan Zixuan again. “We have a deal, right? As long as you approve of these female soldiers, you’ll give us a spot.”

Yan Zixuan was silent for a moment.

Originally, he wanted to say that the female soldiers should participate in the selection competition.

That was his idea yesterday, but now his mind had changed.

The selection competition would be held in a week, and they definitely couldn’t catch up with the progress of the male soldiers.

It would be unfair to let the female soldiers, who had only trained for a week, compete with the male soldiers.

Yan Zixuan looked at Shen Ruojing and then at the female soldiers.

Luo Yan occasionally glanced at him, and when she saw him looking, she glared at him warily, looking adorable.

Women... perhaps they weren’t as weak as he had imagined.

(Perhaps it’s time to give women a chance.)

With this thought, Yan Zixuan looked at Shen Ruojing and said, “Alright, 1 promise you. As long as you can achieve the same level of quality as ordinary male soldiers within a week of assessment, I will allow you to represent the Yan Family Army in the martial arts competition!”

“A promise is a promise.”

After Shen Ruojing said this, she added, “I will provide a thousand portions of that ointment to the Yan Family Army.”

This statement made Yan Zixuan’s eyes light up.

He had seen the effect of the ointment throughout the morning, and indeed, none of the female soldiers complained of pain. Even the female soldier with the worst physical condition yesterday had no problems, proving that the ointment was absolutely effective!

For the male soldiers, they were already used to daily training, but some who were going to participate in the martial arts competition had recently undergone high-intensity training, resulting in bruises all over their bodies. If they had the ointment to alleviate their pain, there would certainly be no problem.

He immediately nodded. “Alright.”

This was a profitable deal for him!

After the two agreed on these terms, Shen Ruojing joined the female soldiers at the back of the group. As a member of the female soldiers’ team, she was supposed to share their joys and hardships, so she ate lunch and dinner with them.

After the representatives from Loong Corporation arrived tomorrow, she would have to stay in the barracks.

Just as Shen Ruojing walked over, she saw Luo Yan sneakily approaching her. Luo Yan asked, “Your Highness, what did Yan Zixuan say to you just now?”

Shen Ruojing.”?”

She looked at Luo Yan and asked, “What should he have said to me?”

Luo Yan swallowed nervously.

She was worried that Yan Zixuan had told the Princess about last night’s incident. If that were the case, she would fight him!

Seeing Luo Yan’s evasive gaze, Shen Ruojing teasingly said, “He said that you...”

Luo Yan held her breath. “What about me?”

“Last night...”

Shen Ruojing was just guessing because Luo Yan’s gaze toward Yan Zixuan when she entered the training ground today seemed unusual.

Upon hearing the words “last night,” Luo Yan became angry. “That guy actually told you about last night? What is he trying to do? Is he trying to use last night’s incident to threaten you and make us female soldiers withdraw from the martial arts competition?”

Seeing Luo Yan’s eyes turning red, Shen Ruojing lost her playful mood and quickly explained, “No, we were just talking about the ointment....”
