Chapter 361 Extra Chapter: Unruly
Although Ling Chengen was angry, it did not delay Chang Tianchen's treatment.
Although Yuheng had activated his spiritual power, he had not yet fully mastered it, so he could not use it at a high intensity, and his accuracy was also insufficient.
But being able to perceive it is enough.
The process of analyzing Chang Tianchen's brain took a total of ten hours from start to finish.
After finishing all the grooming work, Ling Chengen's body couldn't take it anymore. He leaned back in his chair, rubbed his throbbing temples with one hand, and let out a long sigh.
Yuheng walked behind her and gently pressed his fingers on her temples.
Ling Chengen leaned forward, trying to avoid his hand, but Yu Heng's left hand firmly pressed down on her shoulder: "Don't use your body to spite me."
Ling Chengen leaned back in his chair, tilting his head back to look up at his face from below: "I didn't."
“You and I are both exhausted after such a long time, and your energy consumption is no less than mine, so you should go and rest first.”
Yu Heng looked down at her for a while, making sure she wasn't sulking, then glanced at Chang Tianchen, who was still lying on the hospital bed and showed no signs of waking up, and frowned, saying, "Are you going to stay here?"
“You can’t leave right away. Go back and rest first. The two beasts will come and relieve me in a while,” Ling Chengen said.
Yu Heng sighed deeply, slowly and firmly channeling the remaining power into her body to soothe her fatigue and discomfort before turning and leaving the main tent.
After Yuheng left, Su Weihua, Wuzhuo, and Lin Jing and Lin Quan came in one after another to check the situation. In the end, only Wuzhuo remained in the tent.
Ling Chengen's head still ached a bit. Wood-type superpowers are more effective at soothing physical ailments, but they don't have a significant effect on mental exhaustion. The only way to recover quickly is to rest, and specifically, to sleep deeply.
Chang Tianchen's situation is similar. Although his mind has been sorted out, the mental attack caused him to be overwhelmed and he needs a long period of sleep. It is hard to say when he will wake up.
Ling Chengen sat by the hospital bed for two hours. Wu Zhuo went out to get dinner and placed the food on a table not far away. He turned back and said, "Sister En, have something to eat. You haven't had a drop of water while treating Boss Chang for so long... Even a body of iron can't take that."
Ling Chengen looked down and touched his stomach. He was actually very hungry in the middle of it because using his superpower also consumed his energy. However, he couldn't stop while combing, so he could only endure it. After being hungry for too long, he lost his appetite.
But not eating was definitely not an option, so she got up, walked to the small table, picked up the cup of warm soy milk, and took a small sip.
Wu Zhuo opened the palm-sized sugar jar: "There isn't much sugar in the soy milk. This is Boss Chang's own. If you think it's too bland, you can add more yourself."
Ling Chengen sat on the stool, wanting to say something, but felt very tired and had no desire to speak at all. So he just nodded, finished the soy milk in his cup, and then picked up his chopsticks to start eating.
Seeing that she was engrossed in eating and had no energy to speak, Wu Zhuo knew that she was exhausted.
He rarely saw Ling Chengen show signs of fatigue, because she was a highly energetic person who could still be full of energy even when working non-stop every day.
However, he stood not far from the hospital bed, quietly watching Chang Tianchen lying on it, his heart still heavy.
Even if Boss Chang fully recovers, they will still have to face the unpredictable methods of the Southern Yuan royal family.
If the royal family members have truly awakened psychic abilities, then... perhaps only Sister Eun is their match.
But the royal family of Nanyuan is not just one person; it is a large clan.
God knows how many high-level psychic warriors they have.
Even though most members of the royal family are low-level mental beings, they are still quite troublesome for lower- and middle-level warriors.
……
Chang Tianchen slept very soundly and didn't wake up until the next evening.
When Ling Chengen received the news, he was studying the battles they had fought against Beast King City.
To be honest, it was very painful to play.
Most of the soldiers lost in strange ways. They were initially dominating their opponents, but there was always a moment when their minds went blank and their bodies couldn't react in time, so many injuries that could have been avoided ended up on them.
After thinking about it for a moment, Ling Chengen concluded that these were likely the result of mental manipulation.
You don't need to control your opponent the whole time; you only need to intervene slightly at crucial moments to turn the tide.
There are only two possibilities to make this possible.
Either there are many psychic awakeners in Beast King City, or there is a very powerful psychic warrior stationed at the front line, who has not shown his face but has been quietly observing the two armies and controlling the overall situation at crucial moments.
After Wu Zhuo ran over to deliver the message, Ling Chengen put aside the battle and went to Chang Tianchen's tent.
Even from a distance, she could see that his tent entrance was crowded with people. Some faces she recognized, and some she didn't recognize at all, but without exception, they were all craning their necks to see what was happening inside the tent.
After Ling Chengen approached, Lin Jing skillfully cleared a path for her to enter.
Inside the tent, Yuheng and Xuanyan were both present.
The two had just finished examining Chang Tianchen, and their tense nerves finally relaxed.
Ling Chengen stood a little further back, not wanting to disturb them. Only after everything was over did she ask, "How did it go?"
"It's alright now that you're awake," Yuheng replied while tidying up the things on the table.
Xuan Yan chuckled and patted Chang Tianchen on the shoulder twice, saying, "He's as strong as an ox now, even better than before."
Chang Tianchen leaned back on the hospital bed, smiled and brushed his hand away, saying, "Thank you all this time."
"I almost actually went to see my great-grandmother," he couldn't help but joke.
Ling Chengen took out a fruit with a green and orange peel from his spatial storage and casually tossed it into his arms: "You still have the mood to joke around, it seems you really are quite well-off."
Chang Tianchen raised his right hand and grabbed the fruit, but he couldn't take his eyes off her face: "When did you get here?"
Ling Chengen raised an eyebrow and retorted, "If I hadn't come, would you have woken up?"
Chang Tianchen touched the center of his chest; there was no wound left, but he still remembered the injury he had sustained.
In the nick of time, he only had time to dodge the fatal blow that was destined to hit his heart.
Although he managed to twist his body, he was definitely stabbed in the lung.
He didn't have time to think much at the time. When he collapsed... his mind went blank, and he immediately lost consciousness.
However, judging from what Ling Chengen said, there was something fishy about his injury.
Xuan Yan looked at his thoughtful expression and said helplessly, "Haven't you realized yet? The enemy is very likely also a mental warrior."
Chang Tianchen twisted his stiff neck, making a cracking sound in his joints, and after a long while said, "I have often fought with Ling Chengen before, so I am not completely ignorant about mental warriors."
"If the enemy is mental, I won't be completely unaware."
Ling Chengen said, "After I reached level fifteen, you haven't fought me again, have you?"
Chang Tianchen: "Why don't you try it now? I'd like to experience it for myself again." "So I don't fall for their dirty tricks again."
Ling Chengen glanced at him, paused for two seconds, and said, "You really have forgotten the pain once the wound has healed! Also, how is psychic ability considered a dirty trick? So, in your eyes, I've always been a lowlife who uses dirty tricks?!"
Seeing Ling Chengen's somber tone, Chang Tianchen turned to look at Yu Heng, then glanced at Su Weihua standing by the bed, before finally settling his gaze on the mortise and tenon table: "Who among you has offended her these past few days?"
This has provoked people to start indiscriminate shooting!
He's still a patient who's just recovered! What did he do to deserve this?
Yu Heng silently turned his head away, while Su Weihua slowly raised her finger and pointed behind Yu Heng.
Chang Tianchen instantly understood and turned to look at Ling Chengen: "Alright, I wasn't being sarcastic. I'm being serious. Let me experience your current abilities so I can determine what kind of person hurt me back then."
"How was the battle going while I was unconscious?" He suddenly realized he hadn't asked about the current battlefield situation.
"The war has ended," Su Weihua replied. "After you were injured, I ordered the army to retreat and distance ourselves from Beast King City."
"If we don't understand their situation, sending any number of people to fight them will only result in their deaths."
Chang Tianchen sighed deeply and looked at Su Weihua, saying, "You're just too cowardly. How can we probe their situation if we don't fight? Beast King City is like a turtle shell; it can't send out any information. We can only probe openly, and casualties among our personnel are inevitable..."
Seeing the two arguing on the spot, Ling Chengen said with a headache, "What are you arguing about?"
"If it's stopped, then it's stopped. Do we still need to investigate who's responsible?"
She looked at Chang Tianchen speechlessly and said, "Do you know that the army is in chaos because of your accident?"
Chang Tianchen leaned casually against the headboard, his neck stiff, and said, "There's still Su Weihua, how could things be in such a mess?!"
Ling Chengen asked, "Do you know what morale is?"
Chang Tianchen said bluntly, "It's not like I'm the heart of the army."
"If I pass out, morale will collapse, right?"
"Thank you for thinking so highly of me, but I don't have that much nerve."
Ling Chengen pointed at him, so angry that he didn't know how to scold him.
Since joining the army, his roguish and bandit-like nature has become increasingly pronounced.
Those who are clear-headed know that he is the commander-in-chief of the entire army.
If you didn't know better, you'd think you'd run into some thugs!
Yuheng asked, "Do you want me to knock him out again and keep him asleep for another three to five years so that it will be easier for you to change your commander?"
Chang Tianchen glared at him angrily and said, "Do you have to be so insidious, threatening me to my face?"
"I'm not threatening you, I'm just trying to help Enen relieve her worries," Yuheng retorted calmly.
Ling Chengen no longer wanted to stay here. Whenever these people bumped into each other, they could put on a show anytime, anywhere, without repeating any lines.
She couldn't take it anymore and said with a blank face, "I'm leaving now."
"Especially you, just seeing you annoys me!"
Ling Chengen glared at Chang Tianchen, then turned and left the tent.
Yu Heng had also packed up the toolbox, slung the strap over his shoulder, and as he passed Chang Tianchen, he mimicked Ling Chengen's tone and expression, and snorted coldly: "Did you hear that?"
I get annoyed just looking at you!
"What a shameless scoundrel!"
After saying that, Yu Heng left without giving Chang Tianchen a chance to refute.
Chang Tianchen sat up straight, pointed at his back, and cursed, "Are you even a doctor? Do you have any medical ethics? I'm shameless, but you're all shameless? Your old face is thicker than tree bark..."
Su Weihua stood at the foot of the bed. When she saw his gaze sweep over her, she coldly said with her handsome face, "If you dare to spew insults at me again, I'll take away all the things you've collected in a moment, so you won't be able to please Enen."
Chang Tianchen was instantly gripped by a knife, and the officer pointed at him, saying, "Do you really want to do this?"
"I haven't said anything yet."
Su Weihua sneered, "Your foul mouth never utters a kind word."
"Now that I have plenty of energy, I like to cause trouble even more."
Chang Tianchen paused for a few seconds, watching as the other man placed his hand on his spatial container. He gritted his teeth for a few seconds, swallowing back the words that were about to come out, and said with a forced smile, "...Thank you so much for understanding me so well!!!"
Su Weihua scoffed, shook her head, and walked out, muttering under her breath, "What a despicable thing!"
Chang Tianchen:! ! !
I hate you, you son of a bitch!
……
After Chang Tianchen woke up, he was still put in charge of the army, and Ling Chengen did not interfere with him.
However, she intends to join the war.
This news cannot be kept secret.
Yu Heng, Su Weihua, and Chang Tianchen all disagreed.
But Ling Chengen knew that in order to reduce the casualties of the army when they were initially probing the enemy's strength, she had to go to the front line.
These soldiers all have families; some of them may not have even had their children born when they went to war…
Ling Chengen didn't want to let these people risk their lives just because he was afraid of dying.
She couldn't bear that kind of price.
So this time, no matter who objects, it's useless.
Chang Tianchen knew he couldn't change her mind, so he became much more cautious this time when formulating the battle plan without Su Weihua watching over him.
When Jingshan came to deliver supplies, he saw Chang Tianchen deep in thought, repeatedly deducing the moves, and couldn't help but sigh to Wuzhuo, "His fighting style is always bold and unrestrained, and sometimes he is even willing to sacrifice a small number of soldiers just to achieve a greater victory."
"I thought he wouldn't play cautiously, but... once Ling Chengen arrived, he didn't need to be taught or told anything; he just learned it all by himself!"
Wu Zhuo glanced at him and said quietly, "If it were you, would you dare not be careful?"
If Ling Chengen were to die on the front lines, not only would those few people still in the Northern Wilderness go crazy and kill him, but even he himself would not be able to forgive himself!
Jingshan put himself in her shoes for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I really wouldn't dare."
He wasn't as brave as Chang Tianchen, who dared to command his superior in battle, nor did he dare to shoulder this immense burden.
Wu Zhuo nudged Jing Shan with his elbow and asked, "Wasn't the reason you were exiled to the Northern Wilderness because you killed a member of the royal family? Can't you provide any useful clues?"
