2701 Doesn't Your Heart Hurt



Xia Jinyuan stared at the aquatic plants. Only the part above her nose was revealed. She was well hidden. It was as if Ye Jian had grown up with the aquatic plants. There was no heartache in his deep black eyes. There was only determination. "She's a female soldier. Female soldiers suffer more than male soldiers. It's better to suffer now than on the battlefield in the future."

"I don't have to say it and you should understand that. What's going on? Now that Azure Bird has become your cousin, you've become soft-hearted?"

Li Jinnian pursed his thin lips and glanced at Xia Jinyuan. He said coldly, "If I'm soft-hearted because she's my cousin, I wouldn't have trained with her at night.

"She hasn't rested for an entire day and night since yesterday. Now, she's soaking in the water… I'm afraid that she'll faint. If you're the one soaking in the water and I'm lying in the grass with her, I wouldn't be so worried."

Since the main goal of the training was to launch a sneak attack, all the training missions would start with a 'sneak attack'.

This time, Xia Jinyuan, Li Jinnian, and Ye Jian were the ones being attacked. K7 and the rest were the ones attacking. The 15 of them split into two groups. One group consisted of three people while the other consisted of 12 people.

The place they were guarding now was the base. They were waiting for K7's arrival.

Xia Jinyuan snorted softly. "If you really want to swap positions, you should hide under the water. Azure Bird and I will lie in the grass. Cousin-in-law, you have to be kind. How could you have the intention of destroying my relationship with Azure Bird?"

"Cousin-in-law? Q King, are you sure that you passed my uncle's test? It won't be too late for you to claim kinship with me once you pass my uncle's test."

In the face of Demon King Li's cold reply, Lieutenant Colonel Xia, who was maintaining his composure, smiled. "My future father-in-law even told Azure Bird that I'm not bad as a captain and that she should learn from me.

"With such a good impression, I'll be able to gain my future father-in-law's approval sooner or later. Cousin-in-law, wait for it."

Such thick skin! Li Jinnian wanted to kick him and leave a footprint on his thick skin!

"They're here… Lie low."

As this thought flashed through his mind, the thick-skinned person suddenly lowered his voice. His aura changed drastically in an instant. After exposing his killing intent, he became restrained and quiet. He merged with the mountain, the ground, the trees, and the grass.

Li Jinnian knew that he couldn't see through the fellow beside him. One second ago, he wasn't serious. The next moment, he gave him a serious look. Xia Jinyuan was still able to scare him.

Just like now, Xia Jinyuan had restrained his aura. However, the coldness in his eyes seemed to be able to destroy the mountains and rivers in this area. It was exceptionally cold.

Ye Jian saw Xia Jinyuan's hand signal. She had been hiding in the seaweed for four hours while constantly holding her breath, waiting for her comrades to come.

Beside her legs was a water snake that was as thick as a thumb and more than a meter long. The snake's tail swept past Ye Jian's knees and snaked around her upper body. The snake's head was only a few centimeters away from Ye Jian's nose.

Ye Jian had already seen the water snake. At the same time, she quickly analyzed it to see if it was non-poisonous. It had a flat head and gray scales… It was a non-poisonous water snake.

Since it was a non-poisonous water snake, Ye Jian ignored it and held her breath. She didn't want to alarm the water snake that was parallel to her head.

Although it wasn't poisonous, it was still painful if she was bitten in the face.

Ye Jian's motionlessness didn't alarm the water snake. The snake's head moved forward and finally moved away from Ye Jian. She heaved a sigh of relief.

In the quiet morning of the forest, there was a sense of refreshing liveliness. Suddenly, the chirping of birds passed through the treetops and spread to the surroundings. The chirps sounded unhappy.

As footsteps were heard, Ye Jian narrowed her eyes.
