Naming Technique of the Night

Chapter 1738: Chapter 913: A Sudden Confession

Long time no see, Yangyang.

Actually, when Qing Chen returned this time, she was already guarding in the sky.

She watched Qing Chen fail again and again, crashing and bleeding, but never intervened because Qing Chen wouldn’t allow it.

However, several times, when she saw Qing Chen almost crashing to the ground, her heart was in her throat.

”We’ve only just met, and your bike tire rolled right over my face,” Qing Chen said with a laugh.

Yangyang carefully released him: ”I’ve been escorting you from the sky for seven days, a little compensation isn’t too much to ask, is it? Just a few days ago, I deflected a missile, humph, if it weren’t for me, the entire training base would’ve been engulfed in flames!”

”Yes, yes, Yangyang is the best,” Qing Chen said, ”Let’s go, the Kingdom’s dying counterattack should be over, no need to worry about them anymore. Once I finish this training, I’ll personally go retrieve the King’s eyeball.”

Yangyang checked Qing Chen’s injuries, only to find that after removing the Flying Squirrel Suit, he was covered in scars, not a piece of intact skin.

She said seriously, ”Qing Chen, you can’t keep overworking your body like this. That last challenge you might have been able to complete, but training has become mechanical inertia, and with your body getting injured repeatedly, your control over it is decreasing. That’s why you were slightly off at the end. Listen to me, rest for a few days, then accomplish it in one go.”

Qing Chen thought for a moment: ”But I don’t have much time left, I’ve already deliberately lured Chen Yu, to kill him in the 001 Taboo Land. Only this way, can the Chen Clan’s Aerial Fortress and military forces become our allies.”

Yangyang said: ”It’s just one cycle of travel, just avoid him. He’s after you, he’s not going anywhere!”

”No...”

Yangyang said: ”I saved you again, right? Listen to me, rest for a day, consider it a favor returned.”

”Alright, rest for a day!”

Saying this, Qing Chen headed towards the training base, Yangyang followed behind, naturally holding Qing Chen’s left hand.

Qing Chen’s left hand stiffened slightly, then relaxed.

The two walked back side by side, Yangyang’s lips curled into a slight smile.

Liu Dezhu was piloting the helicopter hovering in the sky, now he wasn’t afraid of fighter jets at all, because they came with Yangyang.

With Yangyang around, fighter jets were useless.

He said on the communication channel: ”Xiao Qi, how’s it going over there? I’m going to lower the altitude now to pick up the boss.”

But then he saw the helicopter slowly descend, only for an inexplicable gravity to wrap around the Shellless American Lion, actually pulling it back up into the sky.

Liu Dezhu: ”... Pickup failed.”

Xiao Qi was shocked on the communications channel: ”Did something happen to the boss?!”

”Oh, the boss is fine, it’s just if I insist on picking him up, I might get into trouble,” Liu Dezhu piloted the helicopter straight back, not caring about the young couple strolling on the ground.

After all, it’s at most twenty kilometers, they could just walk back.

Liu Dezhu leisurely asked on the communication channel, ”Have you guys finished the battle over there?”

”Not yet, dealing with those bastards on the north slope, we’ll be done soon!”

”Then I’ll go back to the base first, I heard Alice bought a lot of ingredients today to make us a French feast.”

Xiao Qi asked puzzledly: ”Eh, aren’t you going to continue assisting the boss with training?”

”He’s not training anymore,” Liu Dezhu replied.

”Huh? Why did the training stop,” Xiao Qi found this incredible.

Liu Dezhu said: ”I think there’s only one person in the world who can make him stop, isn’t that person right here?”

”True, then you go back first, I’ll definitely finish the battle before mealtime,” Xiao Qi said.

Even if you’re an Orcs Warrior, you can’t delay everyone’s lunch, can you?

Originally, Xiao Qi had planned to take the Orcs Warriors back to the Inner World for research by Scientist No. 2, but Qing Chen said it wasn’t necessary.

Orcs Warriors are just industrial waste from the West Continent, if Scientist No. 2 gave up scientific ethics and integrity, he could also create this thing.

No reference value.

”When did you get promoted to A-Class?” Qing Chen asked, ”Was it the Revolver’s doing?”

”Yes,” Yangyang said with fake resentment, ”Seeing more and more A-Class around you, and that Jindai Yunlo bringing two A-Class to compete for favor, if I don’t get promoted to A-Class, I can’t sit still.”

Qing Chen: ”...What the hell is Jindai Yunlo.”

Yangyang said with a smile: ”That Revolver unrelated to fate, I tried it forty times in a row just to get one upgrading bullet. Usually, it’s either a blank cartridge, downgrade bullet, firework bullet, or freezing bullet.”

Yangyang: ”The freezing bullet is truly cold, even hiding in a bed doesn’t help, you can only surround yourself with a campfire. With a downgrade bullet, you have to hide so no one discovers you, lest they treat you as a little rookie to be bullied.”

The Revolver unrelated to fate is indeed formidable, it can help Transcendents understand higher realms in advance.

Just like how Qing Chen saw the God Cutter in the Superconductor World ahead of time, it actually has decisive significance.

However, before this, Transcendents must endure a weak period of forty days or more, if they encounter an enemy during this time, it’s easy to die.

Thinking of those moments, Yangyang must have had a hard time. But when I was in danger, she was by my side, and when she was in danger, I wasn’t by hers.

”I’m sorry,” Qing Chen said seriously.

Yangyang immediately got the hint: ”Well, you’re someone destined for great things. I can’t delay your time, because so many people need you to plan for the future. Don’t worry, I don’t blame you. Just give me a kiss later... huh?”

Yangyang was caught off guard when a kiss landed on her right cheek. She suddenly turned to Qing Chen: ”Have you thought it through?!”

It was too sudden.

So sudden that she couldn’t quite process it for a moment.

Qing Chen nodded: ”I can’t always let a girl like you be so proactive while I show no reaction, I’m not just a Merkaba.”

Yangyang shook her head: ”If it’s something moved by emotion, I don’t want it, I want it to be your true feelings. I’ve said it before, I can wait.”

Qing Chen smiled: ”Sometimes, I feel very grateful to you because when my brother left, you were right by my side. When I was undergoing tribulations on the Barents Sea, you were also by my side. When I needed support in Osaka, you flew there without hesitation. But I also know that gratitude doesn’t equate to feelings, so I was never certain if I felt more gratitude or more affection towards you.”

”And then?” Yangyang tilted her head and asked.

”When my brother left, I had a dream. I dreamt that I lived like an ordinary person for seventeen years,” Qing Chen said.

”You’ve told me that before, in the little house in City No. 5,” she said.

”But in that dream, it wasn’t just that small house in City No. 5, there was also a school,” Qing Chen said: ”In that dream, we were in the same class in kindergarten, the same class in elementary school, the same class in middle school, and the same class in high school.”

Qing Chen stopped walking and looked at Yangyang: ”That dream was actually my brother’s greatest wish. He hoped that our family wouldn’t have to bear any responsibilities and could live together in peace. I don’t have the power to make that decision. However, in that dream, the corner that belonged to me, from age two and a half in kindergarten onward for the next fifteen years, you were always there. It seemed like my brother’s wish for me was just to go to school in peace and get into Qinghe University... As for how I got in, he didn’t really consider that, so he left me a corner.”

Yangyang was stunned.

This was probably Qing Chen’s first confession to her.

Initially, she thought she would have to wait a long, long time, wait for the world to reach peace one day, when all weapons are put away, and only then would Qing Chen have the heart and energy to consider his feelings.

Perhaps she could wait until then, or maybe she couldn’t. If she could, that would be best, but if not, there was nothing she could do.

Yangyang lowered her head and felt her heart beating rapidly. She wanted to change the subject, so she asked: ”Rereading the books in the dream, taking exams once a month, wasn’t it exhausting?”

Qing Chen said: ”Because you were in the classroom, I wanted to go to school every day.”

In the next moment, Yangyang suddenly took Qing Chen upwards, and the two of them soared straight up into the clouds. The soft, delicate clouds were like a bed, like a quilt.

In the clouds, Qing Chen exclaimed: ”Hey? Wait, don’t tear my clothes! Wait!”

”Oh oh, sorry, I got a little too excited, too quickly, too quickly. Having obtained you, I must cherish,” Yangyang said with a cheerful smile, holding Qing Chen’s hand as they flew towards the training base.

While flying in the sky, Yangyang suddenly asked: ”Actually... do you think that maybe you won’t survive against Chen Yu, and that’s why you said all those things to me. With your personality, you should have made me wait a long, long time. You wanted to challenge life and death, go back to kill Chen Yu, but later realized you really couldn’t break through in such a short time. So you’re worried you might die, and if you did, there are some things you wouldn’t have the chance to say.”

Qing Chen was silent for a long time: ”Yes. Not just that, I also worry I might not make it out of the Taboo Land alive. Too many people died there, and I’m nothing special.”

”So that’s the truth,” Yangyang said.

Qing Chen: ”Hmm?”

Yangyang: ”A person’s words are kind when they are about to die, at this moment you wouldn’t lie to me.”

Qing Chen: ”...”

”Don’t you think this is a bit selfish?” Yangyang asked: ”Leaving a seed in my heart then calmly facing danger. If you died, I would never forget you in this life and find it hard to like anyone else.”

Qing Chen was silent again for a long time: ”I want to be selfish once, regardless of whether I come back alive, don’t forget me.”

For nearly half a year, Qing Chen had gradually lost the concept of selfishness. He had done so much for so many people, gradually neglecting himself.

But this one thing, he couldn’t be selfless about.

Yangyang suddenly laughed: ”Being selfish once is quite nice too, I will wait for you to come back.”

Just as they were about to reach the training base, Yangyang said: ”I’ve been waiting for you for so long, and you just confessed then died? Where am I supposed to go to argue about that? So, don’t die.”

”What if I really died,” Qing Chen asked with a smile.

”If you died, I would probably be so sad that I awakened again, and by then I would go and kill all of Chen Yu’s blood relatives, then scatter your ashes into the sea,” Yangyang said.

In Yangyang’s view, if Qing Chen died, she would certainly be incredibly, incredibly sad, so awakening as a demigod again seemed quite reasonable.

The two landed at the training base, and Alice saw Yangyang at the door: ”In the time I’ve known Joker, I’ve always wondered what kind of girl could move him; now I’ve finally met her.”

Yangyang’s eyes crinkled with a smile, but she boasted aloud: ”Hmph, if he hesitated a little longer, I wouldn’t have waited for him.”

”Wash your hands and get ready for lunch. I’ve prepared a meal for you!” Alice said happily.

Unlike Sorel, she didn’t pay attention to the outside battles, and she’d just put on earplugs when sleeping.

Before, when the training base was cold and deserted, she always felt an unexplainable sense of loss. Now the training base was full of people, laughter filled the air, and some were even saying ’hungry’ in clumsy English to her.

This warmth was very rare on ordinary days.
