Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 68: Chapter 68: What Do You Think You Are

Outside the Chen Family Mansion, twelve armored combat vehicles rumbled down the main road.

Personally escorted by the Wuzhou Military Governor, Female Captain Chen Fengzhi was returning to her hometown in glory!

The lead vehicle stopped, its door opened, and a pair of stunningly long legs emerged.

Her combat boots were polished bright, accentuating her shapely calves. She looked less like a Female Captain and more like a model.

The woman who stepped out had alluring eyes and slender brows. Though she wore no makeup, she was a natural-born beauty.

This was Chen Fengzhi, the famed beauty of the Northern Domain Battle Department!

Draped in a military greatcoat with a long row of buttons, she appeared all the more uniquely elegant.

Even the Prince at the banquet couldn’t help but stare. ”Damn, since when did our Northern Domain have such a knockout?”

Qin Tianxuan said sternly, ”Anyone returning from the Northern Domain is a hero of the Battle Department. Show some respect!”

The Prince straightened up. ”Yes! My apologies.”

Just then, Chen Fengzhi began to walk over. With her first step, the true bearing of a Battle Department soldier emerged from beneath her beautiful facade.

Her back was ramrod straight, her shoulders still, her hand gripping the combat sword at her waist, and her white gloves were spotless.

She was the picture of valiant readiness, tinged with the grim aura of the battlefield.

She let out a soft sigh. ’Hometown... I haven’t been back in years.’

Just as she was about to enter and wish her mother a happy birthday, more combat vehicles approached from behind.

This convoy was even larger and more imposing—a full seventy-two vehicles. Moreover, each vehicle was decorated with ”Longevity” banners, clearly indicating they had come to celebrate a birthday.

The seventy-two combat vehicles fanned out one by one, brazenly blocking the entire road.

A handsome man disembarked from the command vehicle. Seeing Chen Fengzhi from afar, he smiled. ”Feng Zhi, I heard you were coming home to celebrate your auntie’s birthday, so I rushed right over with the troops. How about that? Making you look good, right?”

Behind the vehicle, two arrogant Personal Guards stepped out and shouted, ”Under the command of the Northern Domain’s Qin Celestial King, the Six Harmonies Junior General, Sun Shaolong, has come to offer birthday congratulations!”

The personnel from the Wuzhou Military Governor’s department were all stunned.

’Isn’t... isn’t that the rising star under the Qin Celestial King, the young master of the Sun Family? His grandfather is a Celestial Pavilion Elder in the Imperial Capital!’

Young General Sun had also recently become a dazzling new star in the Northern Domain Battle Department.

This wasn’t just because he had a grandfather who was a Celestial Pavilion Elder; Young Master Sun’s mother’s side of the family was also a powerhouse in the Imperial Capital.

They had power and money!

In fact, they were super rich!

And sure enough, among the seventy-plus vehicles that followed, two large Battle Department trucks were filled entirely with gifts.

Gleaming gold and dazzling jewels!

Sun Shaolong stood there arrogantly, not deigning to even look at the people from Wuzhou. He only had eyes for Chen Fengzhi.

If he hadn’t taken a fancy to this famed beauty of the Battle Department, why would a Young Master Sun like him make such a grand spectacle?

’After all, this is just some small town. It’s so rustic and crude. It’s not even as clean or luxurious as our own barracks in the Northern Domain.’

Meanwhile, Chen Fengzhi was also stunned. She had no idea this was happening.

Walking over quickly, Chen Fengzhi first composed herself and saluted.

Sun Shaolong, his hands clasped behind his back, chuckled. ”Alright, now that we’re at your home, you’re the boss. No need for Battle Department formalities!”

But Chen Fengzhi remained perfectly formal. ”General, why have you come? The fighting at the front is intense. You shouldn’t have left your post at a time like this!”

She was already being very polite and speaking euphemistically, avoiding the four words, ”fleeing the front lines.”

Sun Shaolong didn’t care at all. He waved his hand grandly. ”Not only did I come, I brought the entire reserve battalion with me! It’s all about making a statement. I like you, so I’ll do whatever it takes!”

Chen Fengzhi stomped her foot in frustration. ”I dare not accept, sir. The Battle Domain’s defense line is more important.”

Sun Shaolong roared with laughter. ”To win a beauty’s smile, kings of old would light warning beacons for a laugh! Ah Zhi, I just want to see you smile sweetly. To hell with the Battle Domain’s defense line! What does that even matter? Worst case, the Celestial Demons break through. Some other idiot will be there to hold the line!”

He thought his words were deeply affectionate, domineering, and suave, but he had no idea how stupid—and how shameless—they truly were.

Even Chen Fengzhi was shocked.

’Are those the words a Battle Domain General should be saying?’

’No wonder the rumors say this Young Master Sun is an ignorant good-for-nothing. He never went through proper Battle Domain training at all; he was just sent to the Northern Domain to pad his resume.’

And yet, seeing this grand display, Sun Shaolong was also satisfying the greatest vanity in her girlish heart.

Chen Fengzhi fidgeted, unsure of what to do.

Just then, a figure appeared, his expression grave. ”How are things in the Northern Domain now? Has the eastern defense line been reestablished? Have the Celestial Demons’ attack routes changed? And you still haven’t replaced the Defender General of the Northern Domain?”

Four questions in a row!

Most importantly, the first three questions were the very ones that had been weighing most heavily on Chen Fengzhi’s mind.

Shocked, she turned to see a man in a simple, plain white shirt.

The man had an extraordinary air about him, and his eyes were as deep as the sea.

For some reason, Chen Fengzhi sensed a unique Battle Domain aura from this man. She instinctively snapped to attention. ”Excuse me, sir, which department are you from? These questions pertain to classified information from the front lines and cannot be answered casually!”

It was, of course, Qin Tianxuan.

He nodded. ”Mm, it seems you haven’t been completely taken in by this idiot’s sweet talk. You still know the rules of the Battle Department, and you still know to maintain secrecy.”

As he spoke, he shot a cold glance at Sun Shaolong. ”Based on what that idiot just said, in the Battle Domain, he’d be shot for sure!”

Those words were heavy!

Extremely heavy!

Because Qin Tianxuan was truly enraged.

At first, Sun Shaolong was just stunned. Now, his head felt like it was about to explode. With a roar, he pointed a finger at Qin Tianxuan. ”Fuck! Seize him! Execute him on the spot!”

The Personal Guards advanced with menacing grins, actually reaching to draw their guns.

”Everyone, stop!” Chen Fengzhi’s face was ashen. ”Sun General! Please remember, this is my mother’s birthday banquet!”

With that, she turned and walked away.

Sun Shaolong frantically waved his hand, ordering his Personal Guards to stand down. He then shot a death glare at Qin Tianxuan. ”You’re dead today! If I don’t kill you, my surname isn’t Sun!”
