Super Soldier

On the second day, Lil Bei and Miyamoto Shinji were discharged from the hospital at the same time. But Xiao Bing did not intend to take action yet, not before he had everything settled. According to what Xiao Bing learned, the people in Dragon Gate had begun to take vacations. Every year, they had two vacations during which they could go wherever they wanted and do whatever they wanted, usually taking more than one month each time. But it would be terminated if there were any temporary special tasks. After all, they were also normal people and it would be impossible to be on duty for 365 days. They would go crazy.

But though they could go anywhere, people like Su Peiya didn’t dare go home. They lived in the dark world where it was too dangerous. And only those who had no concerned person could survive. If someone was aware of your family, you would be worried every day, for fear that your family would be implicated by what you did.

In the past, every time he had a vacation, Xiao Bing would travel around the world to pick up hot chicks or gamble in casinos in Macau, Las Vegas or Hawaii where he would see many beach beauties… People like him who lived in danger every day needed the most to vent. Gambling and women were clearly the best way to help him.

The only thing that upset Xiao Bing was that he broke through a little later. If he were at the middle level of Breaking The Void when he met Blood Wolf last night, Xiao Bing would have already killed him since it was a great change to enter a new level. With a level higher than Blood Wolf, Xiao Bing could completely beat him without affecting others.

Xiao Bing had reached the early stage of Breaking The Void five years ago. If he didn’t gain different insights after his power was sealed or his shackles were unlocked in the heart last night, even if he was a genius, it might not be possible to reach the middle level for another five years. Breaking through to the middle level required too much ideological sentiment and Genuine Qi accumulation. It was even more difficult from the early stage of Breaking The Void to the middle level than from Clear-strength Stage to Transforming Strength Stage. So since last night, Blood Wolf and Xiao Bing was destined to be different.

Since he had greater strength to rely on, Xiao Bing was not in a hurry. In the morning, he read notes given by Mr. Han Huabin in his room. He had a better vision and comprehension after the breakthrough. The more knowledge he absorbed, the faster he learned. As he read, he found that martial arts was as profound as knowledge. He also realized that Han Huabin had reached an incredible level in this aspect. Xiao Bing felt luckier when he was able to break free from the illusion that day.

In the afternoon, Lil Bei and Miyamoto Shinji returned. Xiao Bing summoned Lil Bei alone into the room and told him about his meeting with Blood Wolf.

After listening to what Xiao Bei said, Lil Bei was silent. He looked at Xiao Bing and asked, “So, he confessed?”

“Yes.” Xiao Bing exclaimed. “I just didn’t expect him to have reached Breaking The Void level. People at this level have incredible power, and they can do almost anything. Last night, if I had taken action to fight with him, innocent by-standers would’ve been hurt.”

Lil Bei seemed a little down. “I understand. Sh*t, I am far weaker than him.”

Xiao Bing held Lil Bei’s shoulder and said with a smile, “But I am stronger than him. Don’t worry. When Dragon Gate regroups after a while, I will personally avenge Peiya.”

Hearing this, Lil Bei nodded heavily, and then looked at Xiao Bing in surprise. He asked, “Brother Bing, what a surprise that you have broken through to the middle level of Breaking The Void. No one in the world can be your opponent now, right?”

Xiao Bing shook his head and said, “You can’t say that. However strong you are, there’s always someone stronger. For example, Mr. Buddha…”

Xiao Bing took out the picture of Blood Wolf and Mr. Buddha shaking hands. He always got a weird feeling each time he looked at a photo of Mr. Buddha. Even though Xiao Bing had broken through to the middle level of Breaking The Void, he still felt uncomfortable seeing Mr. Buddha.

He put away the photo and said heavily, “Mr. Buddha must be stronger than Blood Wolf. Compared with me, no one knows who is better. We should never underestimate him.”

Lil Bei could not agree more. He sighed and said, “Brother Bing, I may have to leave.”

Xiao Bing was not surprised. He asked, “Did the organization call you back?”

“Yes.” Lil Bei nodded.

Lil Bei worked for Dragon Teeth and he had to follow its command. Xiao Bing was not surprised. In fact, Xiao Bing was already happy enough that Lil Bei was able to stay this long to help him through the most dangerous period. Now his own power had been completely updated and the entire Hei Province was under his control. Even if Lil Bei left, Xiao Bing would not be affected.

It was just that they had been apart from each other for three years and only got reunited recently. Xiao Bing would felt disappointment if he suddenly left.

Xiao Bing sighed and said with a relieved smile, “You can go back if you have to. The country still needs you and there are many things waiting for you to do. When will you go?”

Lil Bei answered, “In two days.”

“Okay. Let’s drink together more often these two days because we don’t know when we will meet again.”

Lil Bei laughed and said, “Okay.”

When they had dinner at night, Xiao Bing announced the news that Lil Bei was going to leave. Hearing this, everyone was silent.

Su Xiaoxiao’s face sank. Looking at Lil Bei, she asked, “Brother Lil Bei, why didn’t you tell me first that you are leaving?”

Su Xiaoxiao had always been protected by Lil Bei. Although she didn’t plan to marry him, they had a deep relationship. She naturally found it hard to accept his leaving.

Lil Bei still wore a bright smile on his face which made Su Xiaoxiao even angrier. She suddenly stood up, pushed back her chair and rushed out. Everyone was stunned, realizing she was really angry. Lil Bei kept smiling and stood up. “Don’t worry. I will go find her.”

After Lil Bei went out, Maggie said excitedly, “Hey, does Sister Xiaoxiao like Brother Lil Bei? No wonder she didn’t pursue Brother Bing. Oh…”

Zhan Hongyan hurriedly covered Maggie’s mouth and gave her a ferocious look until Maggie realized she said something wrong. Although she was unconvinced, she was too smart to make such a low-level mistake. She said this because to her, polygamy was a normal thing, and she didn’t give it much thought before she spoke.

At this time, everyone was looking at Yezi, who was smiling with no sign of anger. However, when she looked at Xiao Bing with her big eyes, Xiao Bing could not help trembling.

Su Xiaoxiao did not fall in love with Lil Bei. She just regarded him as a good friend whom she could talk to. On the one hand, Lil Bei was a good friend of Brother Bing whom she loved; on the other hand, Lil Bei used to be her sister’s comrade-in-arms. They often talked about Xiao Bing and her sister’s affair and became good friends. When she learned that her good friend was leaving suddenly, she felt sad.

Su Xiaoxiao ran out of the house and sat on the ground outside the forest. Lil Bei also followed and sat down next to her.

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes was red, but she didn’t cry. Instead she let out an annoyed “Hmph!” and asked coldly, “Have you ever considered me as your friend?”

Lil Bei sat beside her and answered, “I have very few friends, and you are one of them.”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Then why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

“The organization just notified me. They need me to go back for a task in two days.”

“Task. There is always a task.” Su Xiaoxiao clutched her clothes tightly and gritted her teeth. “For so many years, my sister rarely stayed at home because she had tasks every day. Now she has no more chance…”

Lil Bei pointed in the direction of the city and beamed. “Xiaoxiao, you can see people cry and laugh when you walk on the street; the adults can work, and the children can play outside. Everything is well organized. Do you know why?”

Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Why?”

“It is because there are many people in this world, not only in our Dragon Teeth but also the soldiers who guard the frontiers, the territories of this country in the background, protecting the safety of the people. Each of them has to sacrifice their all, including their families and freedom to make sure that ordinary people can even simply smile.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Lil Bei with amazement, feeling unfathomably touched in her heart. These words were very short and very simple, but they were really touching to her ears.

Suddenly, Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Lil Bei, can I ask you a question? Why are you so happy every day?”

Yes, Lil Bei still wore a sunny smile at this moment, which was very simple and very pure. He was like an innocent boy who warmed your heart.

Lil Bei looked at Su Xiaoxiao with bright eyes and said, “Because someone told me every day that we can live is another day of blessing. Some people are dead before they are born, and some people die just after they are born. Since you are still alive, how could you have any complaints? Whether we are happy or not, life has to go on. If my smile can please myself and warm others, why not smile?”

“Just like this time, even though I am leaving, I still have to say goodbye with a smile. We’re going to part ways eventually, so why do I have to go around looking glum?”

Su Xiaoxiao suddenly said, “So you are not happy and you just want to please others.”

“You know me very well. I guess you’re right.”

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Lil Bei gravely, as if she saw him for the first time.
