In less than three days, the fleeing contingent finally reached their destination, Yong City.
After finally entering the city, Honda ignored the many astonished gazes and left with Xiao Wanqing. After all, Honda's identity was an 'exchange student from East Asia' and she had no 'home' here. She could only accept Xiao Wanqing's invitation and go with her. Originally, Xiao Wanqing's husband wanted to curry favor with Xiao Wanqing, but he was completely captivated by Honda's goddess-like appearance. This made Xiao Wanqing utterly disgusted with him and she had no intention of returning to her own home.
She directly brought Honda to Ran Hongxia's house, where they stayed.
After two days of rest, Yong City's leader invited Honda and the others to a meeting. It seemed he wanted to win them over. Honda had no particular thoughts and just followed Ran Hongxia and the others!
"I'm going to the restroom first, you guys go ahead!" Honda felt a movement within her body and said to Xie Qingmei and Ran Hongxia.
"Okay! Be quick and catch up." Xiao Wanqing said to Honda.
"Mhm!" Honda nodded and turned to leave the three's sight. After all, this was a military zone, and with so many people, she wouldn't get lost. Moreover, they all knew Honda's strength; no one could bully her.
"This is..." Honda opened her Heavenly Eye to observe her own body. Her lower abdomen had already begun to swell slightly. The new life was very actively stirring, appearing very lively.
"Sigh!" Looking at her body, Honda's brow furrowed in distress. She had to find a way. When she was pregnant with Athena, Zeus didn't experience this situation. Perhaps that child was quieter!
Now, it seemed this was a lively little one.
Honda channeled her body's divine power to nurture the little one. Instantly, the little one quieted down, and Honda, relieved, headed to the Commander's office.
Ignoring a group of fiery gazes, Honda walked into the Commander's office, which looked like an earthen mound.
"No wonder you concealed that face; its destructive power is so immense that even a middle-aged man like me feels stirred. If I were twenty years younger, I probably wouldn't be able to control myself... Tsk tsk, Li Jiayu, you..."
"Enough! Less talk!"
As soon as she entered, she heard Li Jiayu's annoyed voice.
"Uh, I'm late." Honda looked at the two somewhat confrontational people and said awkwardly.
Honda's voice precisely interrupted the atmosphere between the two. Everyone in the room turned to look at Honda.
"Hiss~~" Someone gasped, though it was unclear who. Not to mention her strength, her appearance alone was no less stunning than Li Jiayu's, and! Her fiery figure added a lot of points to her.
"Sister Honda," Li Jiayu looked at Honda with a hint of surprise. They hadn't seen each other for several days. Today, they met here. At first, he was a little disappointed not to see Honda and Ran Hongxia, but he didn't expect Honda to arrive so late!
"Are you the one who killed the Black Demon Bug?" After recovering, Chu Taihong sized up Honda and found that she was even stronger than him. It was clearly a question, but it was stated as a fact. It seemed he had already determined that this girl named Honda was the main combat force.
"Yes!" Honda ignored the probing, astonished, possessive, and lustful gazes of the crowd. She stood calmly before this tall man. She could withstand even Gaia's pressure, let alone this guy who was only a Third-Order peak. Moreover, Honda's power was not to be underestimated.
"Good, good, good, all excellent girls who are no less capable than men!" Chu Taihong laughed happily. He was not a petty person. Rather than suspecting Honda's strength, he was more willing to believe in her capabilities. This way, the city would have another powerful protective force. From the fact that this guy begged Li Jiayu to protect the city when he was on the verge of death, it was clear he was a respectable person!
"Excellent," Honda was not like Li Jiayu, a tsundere with skewed values; she merely gave a polite reply and then said no more.
"Good, not arrogant or impatient. I do have something important to discuss now, and I hope you can join the army." Chu Taihong invited them very sincerely.
Honda thought about it and decided to join. She didn't have that many things to do, so some convenient privileges were essential, and she could also suppress those petty scoundrels. Honda's agreement made Chu Taihong very happy. Li Jiayu proposed three conditions, and Chu Taihong gritted his teeth and agreed. Then, both became Major Generals of the headquarters. Well, it must be said that Chu Taihong was very good at judging people. He put a lot of effort into recruiting the two, suppressing some people's dissatisfaction.
He directly appointed Honda and Li Jiayu as Major Generals. It seemed there was a reason he could lead this city.
Next, a piece of news shocked everyone present: another space quake had occurred.
"Major General Honda and Major General Li, assist Major General Lin! You have previously slain Fourth-Order bugs, and with Major General Li, the Goddess of Light, I wish you swift success! I have very high hopes for you!"
"No problem," Honda nodded in response, then glanced at Lin Luanqiu, who was somewhat flushed with excitement (of course, he was excited to fight alongside two goddesses).
"Then, Major General Lin, please lead the way!" Honda calmly said to Lin Luanqiu, awakening him from his excited reverie.
"Yes," Before Lin Luanqiu could finish celebrating, Chu Taihong sent a 'light bulb' to pour cold water on him.
"Very good, Adjutant General Jiang's Buddhist Purification Technique has double the effect against the Corpse Clan. With your cooperation, Major General Honda and the others should have no problems. Even if they encounter a Third-Order peak Corpse Clan member, they won't be at a disadvantage!"
After the final arrangements were made, Lin Luanqiu gave Chu Taihong a somewhat resentful look.
After the combat meeting concluded and most people had left, Lin Luanqiu turned to Honda and Li Jiayu and said:
"Alright, Major General Honda, Major General Li... we should also act quickly. We must reach the spatial rift 38 kilometers away within fifteen minutes... However, before that, I need to go back and retrieve something. In three minutes, meet me at the arrow tower on the west city wall!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Luanqiu, seemingly wanting to show off, pulled out a Third-Order low-grade longsword from somewhere. This longsword floated directly in front of him, emitting dazzling energy and light.
Lin Luanqiu leaped onto the longsword, stepping on its body, and then let out a long cry:
"Ride the wind and break the waves, eliminate demons between heaven and earth!"
The next moment, Lin Luanqiu, flying on his sword, shot out of the window, disappearing like a brilliant meteor.
"What a lunatic," Li Jiayu looked at the window from his spot, then glanced at Honda.
"Let's go!" Honda took out her Purple Gold Gourd, enlarged it, and flew out. Li Jiayu also followed and sat on it, leaving Jiang Yueying, who wanted to talk to the two, feeling a bit awkward. She sighed and directly took out her lotus, also flying out. Liu Yinsha and Fang Fang also transformed into mist and flew away!
Only the empty room remained, without a single person.
