Chapter 510: Touch of a New Life! Blissfulness

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

In Shenyang military, there was a bulwark which constituted of the most stringent protection regardless of the weather, be it snow or rain. It protected East Asia’s most elite military commander.

Qin Fen stood in front of the military headquarters that he once deemed familiar to him. He suddenly came to a realization that he did not really fully understand this existence that was akin to a war fortress.

He once thought that the mighty Snake King would be the biggest umbrella that offered limitless support, protecting the loved ones from any hardship. However, reality proved that he did not understand Snake King’s cold-bloodedness.

It seemed distanced. Qin Fen was unfamiliar with the people in this fortress and even the fortress itself.

The guard standing in front of the door looked at Qin Fen’s lieutenant colonel pin on his shoulder. Then, he glanced at the young men beside Qin Fen. He was slightly surprised; his body trembled slightly. There was a hint of disbelief in his gaze. A lieutenant colonel around twenty years old was once not considered the youngest legend. However, after the death of the legendary Colonel Zuo Lin and the resignation of another legendary Colonel Xing Wuyi, the legendary soldiers of the East Asia Military Region were completely replaced.

Qin Fen! The recruit from the tournament who attained the championship title of multiple events! The rumored superb young martial dao master who killed two martial dao masters, Bae Seong-Joon and Kyokushin Kouten, in one day!

“Hello... ”

The guards were too excited and even forgot to salute. They leaned their body aside and gestured an invitation to enter.

Qin Fen gently nodded back. This was his first time entering the military headquarters without returning a military salute. Although he had the military lieutenant colonel pin on his shoulder, his heart was no longer in the military. If he had not made a deal with Snake King in exchange for Mourad, he would’ve never appeared in this place again.

Whenever Qin Fen thought of Snake King, there came a thorn in his heart. He could’ve obviously gone against the order involving Gun King that day, but Snake King actually let it go. This thorn did not disappear as time went by. It just hid itself. The hidden thorn quickly surfaced when he once again saw the military headquarters.

It was normal for many people to forget a lot of things in half a year’s time. There were not many people who had met Qin Fen in the military headquarters. They all looked at Qin Fen, baffled, and wondered where this group of young people came from. The aura they produced with their walking was beyond the small pins on their body. The sharp aura of power was hidden in their bodies, but it could still be felt clearly by other people.

Through the streets and buildings that he knew well yet was unfamiliar, Qin Fen walked into the echoing hallway and reached out to open a thick and hidden door.

There was no ‘reporting in’ and no standard military salute. Qin Fen stood quietly at the door and looked at Snake King, whose body was blocked by his desk.

It wasn’t about the lack of politeness but when Qin Fen meets someone he didn’t want to face, he would not bother being polite with them. At this moment, it was with the greatest self-control he had to resist the urge to greet Snake King with punches.

Entering the room, Qin Fen turned to look at a corner of the room and nodded slightly. It was a ‘Shadow’! The ‘Shadow’ which once protected Qin Fen and the others in Tianbei City. He had never forgotten about this kindness.

There was a melancholy sigh full of helplessness.

In the corner of the room, a sigh was uttered from the ‘Shadow’ that never spoke and silence returned very soon.

Qin Fen turned to look at Snake King again, “General Du, I will honor the promise of that day.”

Du Hen assessed Qin Fen, then Xue Tian, and then group around him as he nodded slowly. For the very first time, the cold eyebrows carried a more intense desolation, as if sighing for pity.

In just half a year, Du Hen never expected that Qin Fen and this group of young people’s marital dao progress would not slow down even the slightest bit, but rather continued to move forward at an even faster speed.

“Excellent.” Du Hen’s finger was on the side of the badge. The badge was about five centimeters in diameter. The metal badge spun quickly in the air before it fell onto Qin Fen’s palm, “The order for your taking over of Saturn’s military headquarters has been issued. This is the identification mark you can use to take over Saturn.”

Qin Fen looked at the badge in his hand. It was the logo of the Federation on the front and Snake King’s snake emblem on the back. There was no more Zuo Dongting in East Asia now. Snake King’s authority had expanded a lot. Almost the entire East Asia Military Region was in his hands, even though other military regions had considerable strength. After all, other military regions had the same forces as Zuo Dongting and Snake King. They did not dominate a military region like Du Hen. The weight of his speech had imperceptibly increased a lot.

“Anything else you want to say?” Qin Fen collected the badge in a professional attitude. The relationship between the two sides had completely vanished with the lack of action in Gun King’s death.

Du Hen looked at Qin Fen with no expression. No one knew if East Asia Snake King’s mood right now was happy or sad. He said faintly, “I have heard the words: ‘a general in the field is not bound by the orders from his sovereign.’ Although Saturn’s military headquarters migrated from Earth, over time, there may be situations in which they will not obey you completely. You can do whatever you want when you go over. You don’t need to be concerned.”

Qin Fen nodded. “What else?”

Du Hen’s gaze crossed Qin Fen and stayed on Du Peng. His pair of snake eyes had a shimmering cold cover it. At this moment, there were quite a number of descendants under the ‘Du’ name. Among them, there were also great talents discovered after conducting various tests. If he could keep Du Peng’s talent, then when the next generation reached the age of eighteen, this talent...

A sudden murderous intent filled Snake King’s office, Du Hen’s eyes suddenly became brighter. The pupils flashed a hint of vigilance. The murderous auras of these young people were so saturated that it could almost directly kill someone. It seemed that it would take a lot of effort to retrieve Du Peng in the future.

“Your spaceship can take off at any time.” Du Hen waved his hand, “You can depart to Saturn from Quanzhou, Xichang.”

“General Du.” Qin Fen turned at the door and threw a cold warning, “Some things can be thought of, but it is best not to do it. The price is really big.”

Du Hen looked at the back of Qin Fen who was leaving. His fingers tapped on the table with a pair of lonely eyes hidden under his calm face. No one knew if he regretted not saving Gun King on that day, or if he was having other thoughts.

“Qin Fen...”

In the hallway, Zhao Huzi, who was seen after half a year, seemed a lot more pallid. Compared with the temperament he had back then, he had a lot less aura. There was an apparent hint of old age on his face. He looked at Qin Fen with complicated emotions.

Once upon a time, Zhao Huzi and Qin Fen were brothers. Now, he felt alienated from Qin Fen.

Pa!

The crisp sound of the impact from the legs was in the hallway. Qin Fen gestured the most standard military salute. He was very clear on the difference between Zhao Huzi and Snake King – Du Hen.

With just a military salute and a gaze, Zhao Huzi smiled. Qin Fen’s eyes were clean with no single hint of complaints in it. This was the original Qin Fen. There were not many words, but it was more touching to the heart than extravagant words.

“Take care, general.” Qin Fen said as he did a military bow, “If you are not happy, don’t do it. Fishing is not bad.”

Zhao Huzi nodded as he mumbled, “I know, I know. I will consider it.”

Qin Fen got up and whispered with Zhao Huzi, “If I have time, I will come back to see you.”

“En.” Zhao Huzi’s happy smile carried a faint mist. His pallid expression dissipated a lot in the blink of an eye. It already seemed like he was getting younger.

Qin Fen pushed the door out to the hallway. He knew that even though Zhao Huzi was a lieutenant general, there was Snake King’s strong presence in this East Asia Military Region. Zhao Huzi couldn’t do what he wanted. Even if he wanted to stop Zuo Dongting’s order, it was not possible.

Maybe... Qin Fen looked up at the sun. Maybe Zhao Huzi once tried to rationalize with Snake King for Drill Instructor Gun King. However, Zhao Huzi was still just Zhao Huzi. He could not alter the disputes between military higher-ups.

Didi... didi...

Qin Fen became a bit curious, hearing the call from his mobile phone. Song Jia’s call ringtone was always a very chirpy song. The most basic ringtone was obviously a stranger’s call.

Who? Qin Fen was a bit confused. There are only a few people who know my phone number. There shouldn’t be many people who know about it. Moreover, the phone ringtone shouldn’t be such for those who I’m familiar with. Is it from a scammer?

No matter how each generation grew and how technology changed, people never changed too much. Some old-fashioned industries still existed, such as sex workers, thieves, and scammers...

SMS scams and phone call scams were still very popular in this high-tech era. Worse still, their means bred and multiplied like flies.

Qin Fen looked at the unfamiliar phone number. Finally, he chose to answer the call. There was a beam of light in the space in front of him.

“Hello, are you doing well?”

Qin Fen looked at the projected body and his footsteps froze on the spot. His muscles became stiff in an instant as he stared straight at the woman in the projection.

Sacred Martial Hall, head of the Martial Theory department! Asura, Fenghua Danyun!

Qin Fen looked at Fenghua Danyun in the projection. She was a little chubbier than before. Her appearance was still so beautiful. Her long hair turned into dry, short hair. Those bright eyes of hers were so enticing. Even the upper perimeter of her chest had become more plump.

Qin Fen looked at Fenghua Danyun, a woman who had a one-night-stand with him. He heard the slightly changing heartbeat of the Xue Tian behind him. He found out how his phone number came to be in the hands of Fenghua Danyun.

“Hey?” Qin Fen’s eyes suddenly lit up and saw a cradle beside Fenghua Danyun. There was a towel covering a baby’s body. The baby had a pair of beautiful eyes just like Fenghua Danyun, looking at the world with curiosity. Through the projection, the baby looked at Qin Fen curiously, swaying his little hand from time to time.

“Hello...” Qin Fen didn’t know how to answer Fenghua Danyun. The cute little fake Loli who once drugged him and raped him.

“I’m very good.” Fenghua Danyun turned and gently picked up the baby from the cradle, “Long time no see, this time I am looking for you because there is something I need your help with. Do you see my baby? Isn’t he very beautiful? I wanted to give this boy a name. Later, that is. I feel that you are his father after all. Even if you don’t have the custody rights of the child, you always have the right to pick his name, right?”

“I... mine...?” Qin Fen was stunned, it was though he was struck by lightning. He stood dumbfounded on the spot and looked at the child in the hands of Fenghua Danyun on the screen. The baby’s bright eyes were similar to Fenghua Danyun. The tall nose was similar to Qin Fen but Fenghua Danyun as well. The bright forehead did really seemed very similar to him.

Fenghua Danyun kissed the child in her arms lovingly and nodded lightly.

“Where are you?”

Qin Fen asked this question subconsciously.

Fenghua Danyun looked at Qin Fen with a smile on her face and shook her head gently, “I know what you want to do. Some bastards after impregnating a woman, their first reaction is to shirk responsibility and flee, or they find ways to persuade the woman to abort the child. There are also foolish men. Their first reaction is to take responsibility. Do you want to be a foolish man? I said it before. We are from different sides of the world. I don’t want to trouble you for certain things. When I’m interested, I will secretly find you for a one-night stand. Don’t reject me at that time. Quickly now, think about it. What will be the name of our baby?”

Qin Fen stood, unmoving. He did not expect to encounter this before he went to Saturn. He looked at the little baby in Fenghua Danyun’s arms. The cute little hands were scratching in the air, the little calf kept kicking, and there was a pair of bright eyes full of curiosity.

Life! A brand new life! Dad! I actually become a dad!

Qin Fen stared at his first child, watching the little baby’s every move, gradually forgetting where he was. He gathered all his body and mind around this little baby. He did not expect that a huge vortex would begin to shape in the surrounding air. The grass was gently swaying; the big tree was shaking their leaves along with the wind; the accumulated iron-blooded military aura across several generations of soldiers in the military headquarters seemed to be absorbed into a weapon from the underground and brickwork joint at this moment.

Xue Tian watched Qin Fen unknowingly enter the Unity of Man and Nature state and shook his head, “No way? Is this the state of venturing into the Unity of Man and Nature? Having a child will bring you into the Unity of Man and Nature? Then, don’t I need to have a baby? Old Qin, can’t you run slower? You put a lot of pressure on me. I am chasing you with difficulty.”

“Is this?” Du Hen hit the table with a sudden change in the rhythm of the fingers. He got up and rushed to the french window to look at Qin Fen, “The Unity of Man and Nature? Having the Unity of Man and Nature in the military headquarters? Is this his fate? He actually entered the realm of the Unity of Man and Nature in the military headquarters! The iron-blooded military aura of generations of the army is absorbed completely into him. I have been in the military headquarters for many years, and I hope to enter the Unity of Man and Nature all the time, absorbing the iron-blooded military aura of the military headquarters, but...”
