Quick Transmigration: The Villain Is Too Pampered and Alluring - Chapter 377
In Alliance year 3025, Monarch Huo Ling led the White Silver Army and the Black Eagle Army on an expedition against the Zerg…
In recent years, the Zerg had repeatedly invaded, each time being driven back by the Alliance. However, these continual attacks were unpredictable and caused frequent casualties.
Finally, in the third year of Huo Ling’s reign as Alliance Monarch, the Alliance formally launched an all-out war against the Zerg.
Over a dozen cruisers carried the latest Alliance warships produced by Sheng Military Industries, along with hundreds of thousands of troops equipped with the newest fighter planes and armor, into the Zerg domain. From the moment the battle broke out, it escalated rapidly into a fever pitch.
Every day, the Alliance’s satellite channels broadcast the war unfolding in Zerg territory… In the footage, flames almost illuminated that entire dark and cold galaxy. The progress of the war gripped the hearts of every citizen in the Alliance.
Before setting out, Huo Ling had told the entire Alliance that this war would thoroughly end the conflict between humans and the Zerg… In other words, the Alliance intended to destroy the Zerg once and for all.
As it turned out, Huo Ling was not boasting. He had truly made preparations.
As the Alliance cruisers advanced, they crushed one Zerg planet after another like breaking dry twigs. The Zerg entrenched on those worlds were all consumed by the fires of battle. Finally, all the cruisers surrounded the Zerg home planet.
At White Silver Academy, everyone discussed the war… The students were filled with passion and excitement, regretting only that they had enrolled too late and could not personally participate in this battle.
Over the past three years, Sheng Nuan had gone from being a student to becoming an assistant professor. Once it became known that those newest fighter planes and suits of armor in the Alliance were all her creations, it was not only White Silver Academy but the entire Alliance that went into an uproar.
Titles such as “Mecha Genius,” “God of Fighter Planes,” and “Genius Girl” were heaped upon her as if they cost nothing. However, aside from working in the White Silver Academy’s laboratory, she did not go out much. Her sudden fame did not really affect her daily routine.
Interestingly, Sheng Siyang and Mo Qingran had gotten engaged.
Sheng Nuan found out later that during the great battle at Mount Beimang, Sheng Siyang had saved Mo Qingran. Afterward, through several interactions at school, Mo Qingran developed a very good impression of Sheng Siyang.
He had a sense of responsibility and carried no burdensome pride. Even though he had once been ridiculed, when it came time for him to explain the operation techniques of heavy armor to some classmates, he held nothing back, teaching them earnestly and responsibly.
Sheng Siyang also had a good impression of Mo Qingran.
Though her personality was a bit cold, she was principled and had her own ideas. She was independent and self-reliant. Even though her family was not well-off, she remained neither humble nor arrogant at all times.
After half a year of dating, Sheng Siyang visited the Mo family.
They lived in Changning Street, the poorest district of the Imperial Star. The old building had no elevator. Carrying large bags of gifts, Sheng Siyang bumped his head on the way in due to his height.
Yet, faced with the cramped and old Mo household, he showed not a shred of disdain. He sat in a chair that Mo Qingran’s grandfather had made, drank water when asked to, ate when asked to, and behaved so simply and honestly that he did not resemble the son of the richest family and a hero of the Alliance.
At that moment, Mo Qingran realized: this was the one.
Later, Mo Qingran also visited the Sheng family. The gifts she brought were not extravagant but clearly prepared with sincere thought… Mi Rong also liked Mo Qingran very much. Thus, three months after Sheng Nuan and Huo Ling’s engagement, Sheng Siyang and Mo Qingran got engaged as well.
This time, when Huo Ling led his forces on the expedition into Zerg territory, Sheng Siyang was also in the army. Mo Qingran would occasionally have meals and chat with Sheng Nuan.
At midday, in the small cafeteria at White Silver Academy, Sheng Nuan and Mo Qingran ate while chatting idly.
Sheng Nuan said with a bit of amusement, “My brother was worried last time that you’d be unhappy and reluctant, so he hesitated for a long time.”
Mo Qingran sighed softly, “I’m not an ungrateful person. My old place really was inconvenient. By giving me a new house, he solved a big problem for me. I’m not so stuck-up that I can’t differentiate between good and bad.”
Speaking about this, Mo Qingran smiled. “Besides, we’re going to be husband and wife. Anything he gives me, I’m confident I can give him something back in the future. So, why should I draw such a strict line between us?”
Sheng Nuan gave her a thumbs-up. “Broad-minded.”
Mo Qingran chuckled. After a moment, she said quietly, “Have you heard anything about when they… might return?”
At two in the morning, the Zerg home planet had been destroyed. The Alliance expeditionary force had achieved an unprecedented victory and was returning home.
Sheng Nuan shook her head. “They probably still have some finishing touches to handle. I haven’t had time to ask…”
Seeing her unconcerned manner, Mo Qingran couldn’t help but laugh. “I really admire your mindset. You don’t seem nervous at all. As far as I know, quite a few high-ranking officials on the Imperial Star are secretly trying to push their daughters in front of Huo Ling. Even though you’re engaged, you’re still not married. Aren’t you… worried at all?”
“Worried about what?”
Sheng Nuan smiled, “Worried he’ll have a change of heart? If he does, I’ll just turn around and leave. There are plenty of young, handsome men in the world, what’s there to be worried about…”
Mo Qingran shook her head and laughed.
Just then, Yuan Shao and Duan Heng came over with a few others. Seeing Sheng Nuan and Mo Qingran, Yuan Shao hesitated, then stepped forward to greet them, “Miss Sheng, Senior Mo…”
He could never bring himself to call Sheng Nuan Professor Sheng.
Duan Heng also nodded, “Miss Sheng, Qingran…”
Duan Heng was somewhat familiar with Mo Qingran.
Su Shui’er shrank behind them, forcing herself to greet softly, “Miss Sheng…”
Sheng Nuan smiled, “Hello.”
They nodded and continued forward. Sheng Nuan noticed Su Shui’er’s complicated expression as she glanced at Mo Qingran.
She knew that the Su family had later approached her mother, hoping to revisit the matter between the younger generation of their families. But Sheng Siyang had flatly refused to meet Su Shui’er, and the matter had to be dropped.
Now, Sheng Siyang had gone from the once ridiculed ‘useless rich second generation’ to a commander of an Alliance heavy armor battalion, a genuinely promising young man. Su Shui’er must be regretting deeply.
After lunch, Sheng Nuan and Mo Qingran parted ways. Busy until the afternoon, Sheng Nuan then went back.
She did not return to the Sheng household. For the past few days, she had been staying at Huo Ling’s place outside.
Huo Ling disliked living in the Blue Palace, having turned it completely into an office. He had a house outside, and before setting out on the expedition, he had tried every trick to get Sheng Nuan to agree to stay there. Moreover, he insisted she wear his pajamas and sleep in his bed.
There was also a video inspection every night…
Sheng Nuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry and could only express admiration at this man’s self-taught shamelessness.
After taking a shower and lying in bed, she wore Huo Ling’s shirt while browsing the news. Huo Ling’s call did not connect. Then she learned from customer service that he was already close to the Imperial Star.
He and Sheng Siyang took a small group of people and discreetly broke away from the main force to return ahead of schedule.
Sheng Nuan was both amused and exasperated…
She turned off the bedside lamp and soon fell into a deep sleep. In a daze, she heard the door open.
Knowing that Huo Ling had returned, her eyelids felt heavy, and she drifted off again. Not long after, a body still damp from a shower slipped into bed and pulled her into an embrace from behind.
Before fully waking up, she felt a cool hand slip under the hem of the shirt and climb up to her chest.
In just three years, the once shy little fresh meat who blushed at the thought of burying his face in her chest had transformed into a muscular rogue. His hands were not polite at all and were full of lust.
Sheng Nuan, disturbed from her sweet dream, mumbled a curse at him, “Get lost…”
In the next instant, she felt burning kisses behind her ears and on her neck. Huo Ling’s voice was hoarse, “Did you miss me?”
“No… mm…”
The bed quickly became a mess…
The next day, Sheng Nuan woke up to the sound of birds chirping outside. Opening her eyes, she felt a warm weight on her chest. She saw that even in his sleep, the dog man didn’t forget to keep his hand there. It made her both angry and amused.
In three years, every trace of boyishness had vanished from Huo Ling. When dealing with others outside, his handsome features were always stern and cold. Behind closed doors, he was full of roguish behavior.
There were dark circles under his eyes. The expedition had taken over a month, and his cheeks had become a lot thinner…
Recalling how he had been so relentless last night after coming back, Sheng Nuan clicked her tongue.
“Truly, he cared more about lust than his own life…”
She got up, took a shower, then went to the kitchen to make breakfast… Just as breakfast was nearly ready, she heard a sound and turned her head to see Huo Ling standing at the kitchen door, shirtless in lounge pants, arms folded, smiling at her.
“What are you making?”
Sheng Nuan answered lightly, “Turtle soup1… to properly nourish you.”
Huo Ling raised an eyebrow, then curled his lips and stepped inside, reaching over to turn off the stove…
Sheng Nuan slapped at his hand, “It’s not done yet.”
Before she finished speaking, he lifted her onto the countertop.
Huo Ling leaned close, “Nourish me? Did I not perform well enough last night, hmm?”
Sheng Nuan snorted, laughing in irritation, “Get lost… Go wash your face and get ready to eat.”
Huo Ling did not speak. He simply reached out to unbutton her shirt… Sheng Nuan kicked him, “What are you doing? I told you to go wash your face.”
Huo Ling’s muffled voice came from her chest, laced with barely contained desire…
“…I am washing my face right now… mm… Have they gotten bigger?”
Moments later, Huo Ling carried her straight out of the kitchen and headed directly back to the bedroom…
