Chapter 76: Are You Jealous?
Xiao Huan’s appearance was on the tougher side. Her eyes were deep-set, her nose bridge was high, and softness and handsomeness were perfectly embodied in her face. She had a naturally heroic look, which was sought after by many in the Starshine Federation.
Zhang Can’er felt that if Xiao Huan were to become a star, she would definitely be even more popular. But this woman insisted on relying on her talent, working her way up from a common soldier to her current position. She was a woman with a very strong heart.
Zhang Can’er actually admired such a person. No one would dislike such an independent and strong woman.
“Sister Feng, this is my first time seeing the real Federation Lord. Is there anything I need to pay attention to?”
Wan Feng frowned and looked at her. Seeing the joy in her eyes, Wan Feng admitted that she was jealous.
“No need.” Her voice was exceptionally cold. When she looked at Xiao Huan, anger gradually rose in her eyes.
Zhang Can’er looked at her unusual behavior and asked with some concern, “Sister Feng? What’s wrong with you?”
Before Wan Feng could answer, Shen Fanmeng walked over with Xiao Huan.
“Miss Zhang, Miss Wan, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Huan, the Federation Lord of the Starshine Federation.”
“Hello, Federation Lord. My name is Zhang Can’er, and this is my girlfriend, Wan Feng.”
Xiao Huan smiled gently and nodded. “Thank you both for your help on this journey. If it weren’t for Miss Wan’s weapons, we would have lost even more soldiers. I wonder if you two have any thoughts of joining the military camp?”
Wan Feng’s eyes were cold, her whole body exuding a chilling aura. “No.”
Xiao Huan showed no emotion, just smiled. Her gaze toward Wan Feng was unreadable. “Miss Wan is still as cold as a winter’s day as before. Hehe, let’s go. I’ve prepared a welcome banquet. Let’s have a good meal with the soldiers.”
Zhang Can’er’s brow furrowed slightly. She thought of Wan Feng’s previous identity, a legitimate assassin organization of the Federation. It was impossible for this Xiao Huan not to know. It was understandable that the two of them knew each other.
But Shen Fanmeng, who was standing on the side, was a bit dazed. Xiao Huan knew Wan Feng?
After speaking for a while at the banquet, Xiao Huan left. After all, with her there, the soldiers didn’t dare to be too unrestrained, and they couldn’t eat to their heart’s content. How could Xiao Huan not understand these things?
Xiao Huan walked all the way to the conference room. Zhang Can’er and her group were sitting there solemnly. Shen Fanmeng wanted to stand up, but Xiao Huan stopped her with a wave of her hand.
“Everyone sitting here should be one of our own, right? I won’t beat around the bush. You all know about the Transmutants, right? My idea is to form a strong team of ability users to deal with these Transmutants.”
Zhang Can’er raised a question, “Doesn’t the Federation have military weapons? Tanks, helicopter gunships, energy cannons, rocket launchers. These should be more powerful than ability users, right?”
Xiao Huan sighed and shook her head. “Except for ability users who can harm that giant, no other weapon is useful. Now, besides the four Transmutants in the other towns, one might also appear in Starshine City. That would be five. I don’t know if this is related to the towns, but we must stop this trend as soon as possible.”
Xiao Huan rubbed her temples and sat down. She looked at a point in the air and continued, “When the Transmutant first appeared, we had already spent a lot of military power to collect its blood. We found that this thing is extremely difficult to form. It’s not even certain that one will appear among tens of millions of advanced Mutants. But now there are five. Who would believe that it’s not man-made? Besides stopping the Transmutants’ attack, we also have to investigate who is behind all this.”
This information made some of the people present feel a sense of despair. The enemy was so powerful. Could humanity really win?
Xiao Huan’s gaze swept around and landed on Wan Feng. She said with a bitter smile, “Miss Feng, I wonder if you would be willing to be the leader of this team of ability users?”
Facing Xiao Huan’s question, Wan Feng directly refused, “I’m not willing. No one wants to take a risk at a time like this. Besides, the information you’ve given is not much. We don’t know the situation of the Transmutants at all. Rushing in rashly is just a dead end.”
Xiao Huan nodded and said no more. Afterward, she just briefly talked about the arrangements on the main city’s side.
This meeting lasted until after ten in the evening. Zhang Wan was helping Zhang Tu and wanted to go back to rest directly, but she was stopped by Shen Fanmeng.
“City Lord Shen, is there anything else?”
“It’s not a big deal. It’s just that Man Chunhua has come to me, saying she wants to marry you. Although it’s not very appropriate to talk about these things at this time, you also know that soldiers are important combat personnel now. I try my best to satisfy their needs. I wonder what you think?”
Zhang Wan glanced at her mother and did not agree directly. “I don’t have that kind of feeling for Man Chunhua. I will talk to her properly. I’m sorry to have troubled City Lord Shen with such a small matter.”
“No need to be so polite. Your mother has helped me with a lot of things, and you have also solved many problems for me. I’m just passing on a message. After all, if my subordinate is getting married, it’s a big deal. Alright, you can handle this matter yourself. I’ll be leaving now.”
After Zhang Wan and Zhang Tu saw her off, the two of them exchanged a look. Zhang Tu spoke first, “It’s a good thing to have a partner. It’s rare for a girl to find City Lord Shen for help. If you can get along, you should give it a try. Don’t be in a hurry to refuse.”
And the few people who were watching the show not far away had already heard the conversation clearly.
Xiao Feng had a lively personality. After spending a long time in the military camp, her personality had become even crazier. She walked over directly, put her hand on Zhang Wan’s shoulder, and said with a grin, “You’re really lucky with women. That vixen Man Chunhua is liked by many people. There are many who are chasing her. Quick, tell me, did something happen between you two?”
Being said so by her, Zhang Wan’s ear tips immediately turned red. Considering that her mother was there, she didn’t dare to be too cold-faced, but she didn’t dare to say anything either. “I’ll take my mother back first.”
“Tsk, so boring.”
But Xiao Feng’s eyes rolled. She walked to the few of them and said, “Why don’t we go and find Man Chunhua? We can definitely ask her clearly.”
“I’m not going. I’m going to sleep with my Sister Feng,” Zhang Can’er said, leaning against Wan Feng, looking like she had no bones.
Since Zhang Can’er said she wasn’t going, Xiao Hou also said he wasn’t going. Then the rest of them also said they weren’t going.
This made Xiao Feng a little speechless. She leaned against Xiao An with a wronged expression, asking for comfort.
After the group dispersed, they all went back to their rooms. Zhang Can’er and Wan Feng took a comfortable bath. When they were lying on the bed, Zhang Can’er looked at Wan Feng and asked, “Do you know the Federation Lord?”
Wan Feng’s emotions did not fluctuate much. Today, she had only given Xiao Huan a cold face because she was jealous. Of course, it wasn’t much before either.
“Mhm. After all, she’s the Federation Lord, the one who gives the money. We would know each other.”
“Why do I feel that you have a lot of hostility toward her? Did you have some unpleasantness before?”
Wan Feng held Zhang Can’t a little tighter, a hint of grievance in her eyes. “Do you like Xiao Huan very much?”
Zhang Can’er was stunned for a moment, then she laughed out loud. She poked Wan Feng’s cheek and asked with a smile, “Are you jealous?”
