Chapter 714: Little White! Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Ling Lan was conflicted about having Little Blossom experiencing Number Five"s training methods. That type of training was inhumane. There were several moments in the training that almost broke her, but luckily she managed to get through those moments.
However, Little Four seemed to be able to communicate with Little Blossom, who was training. Thus, he could obtain the circular creature"s thoughts. After all, a part of Little Blossom was inside the spiritual ent.i.ty of the circular creature. Little Blossom could easily acquire the creature"s thoughts. If it had any antagonistic thoughts towards Ling Lan, Little Blossom wouldn"t hesitate to order his clone to devour the spiritual ent.i.ty of the creature.
"Angry? What"s there to be angry about? It should know that we"re not from this planet. Once our mission end, we will leave." Ling Lan had a headache. How come all of the helpers she recruited were all so troublesome?
"Boss, you should comfort it. Otherwise once you leave, it would cause a big ruckus. Without daddy"s power, there"s no way to stop it." As Little Four spoke, he also yawned, then he rubbed his eyes and said, "I"m tired Boss. I"m going to sleep."
After saying that, Little Four disappeared, not noticing Ling Lan"s worried expression. Ever since Little Four had awakened, he was not as hyper as before. Instead, he was always quite sleepy. In a day, he would only be awake for one to two hours. For the rest of the day, he would be asleep.
Ling Lan was worried that Little Four"s forced awakening might have caused some problems in his evolution. Unfortunately, Little Blossom wasn"t here so Ling Lan couldn"t ask him about the possible problems which might arise from the evolution of intelligent ent.i.ties…
Although Ling Lan was worried, she would just watch Little Four sleep everyday… She was afraid that if she told him about it, it would harm Little Four.
Ling Lan tossed her worry to the back of her head and took a deep breath. She signaled Meng Lan to turn on the headquarter"s public announcement channel, "All available mecha operators standby."
After giving this order, Ling Lan stood up and opened her room. She saw her father, fully equipped in his gear, standing in front of her.
"Dad, I have to trouble you to come with me again." In order to prevent the circular creature from going berserk, she must use her dad, this G.o.d-like individual, to keep things in check.
"It"s my pleasure!" Even though Ling Lan had a mask on, Ling Lan almost couldn"t defend against her father"s bright smile. As expected, her father was also a demon. Luckily, her mother reined him in. Ling Lan silently rejoiced for all the women in the Federation. If it wasn"t for the fact that her father had a significant other, it was possible that those women who saw his smile, would make a fatal mistake…
Not long after, Ling Lan and Ling Xiao landed their mechas on the sh.o.r.e of the lake. The circular creature saw the two of them appearing and began to cry out. Ling Lan seemed to hear the sorrow from its cries.
"Let"s talk down there." Ling Xiao also felt that the circular creature had something to say and immediately prompted Ling Lan to go down.
Ling Lan"s communication method was related to the Divine Command sect. If the fact that Ling Lan could communicate with the creatures of this planet was leaked, the military would definitely focus on her. There could even be people thinking about using her for their own gains.
Ling Xiao didn"t want the higher-ups to focus on Ling Lan, it might even cause her to be in danger. However, if it was found out, Ling Xiao wasn"t afraid. At most, he would let Ling Lan publicly announce their relationship. It was just that, as his child, she would be under a lot of danger. Unless it was necessary, Ling Xiao definitely didn"t want Ling Lan to fall into the palms of the higher-ups.
"Alright." Right as Ling Lan answered, his father ruthlessly kicked the creature, sending it to the middle of the lake.
Ling Lan could feel the hopelessness from the creature. It was as though she heard the circular creature"s petulant cries, asking why did Ling Xiao kick it.
"I"ll tell you at the bottom of the lake." While comforting the circular creature, she piloted her mecha and kicked the circular creature into the lake. The two of them stepped on the large body of the creature and instantly sank into the lake.
The water in the lake began to turn. Countless tentacles flailed with great force as if they were being attacked. Those tentacles splashed a lot of water around, then disappeared into the lake without a trace. After a short while, the surface of the water returned to its original calmness.
"Did the regiment commander get into a fight with that thing?" Many mecha operators asked this question.
"He should be. When we first landed on this planet, we had already battled with this kind of creature. We originally thought there was only one, but we didn"t think that the bottom of the lake had another one as well." A mecha operator who was one of the first to arrive on this planet, explained to his comrades. He also mentioned the long drawn-out battle with the large circular creature. This made the mecha operators who landed after the first batch felt regretful that they weren"t there to witness it. They hated themselves for missing out on such an exhilarating battle.
"When do you guys think our regiment commander will be able to take that thing down?" Many mecha operators began to place bets on whether or not their regiment commander would be defeated by the large creature. No way, how could that be possible? It had to be said that, Ling Lan"s powerful image was engraved in the minds of every mecha operator and logistician in the 250 Mecha Clan.
"That big thing is very powerful. It will probably take some time." The mecha operators who had battled with the circular creature knew very well that it could severely injure their team leaders. In the end, it was taken down by the regiment commander"s long range attack, otherwise the outcome would have been unpredictable.
While everyone was guessing about the brutal battle happening at the bottom of the lake, the circular creature, Ling Lan and Ling Xiao had arrived at the bottom of the trench.
Ling Lan put her mecha"s arms on her hips and looked at the circular creature, who was rolling around under her feet, with a cold glare, "Alright, who do you want? Please, can"t you maintain your image of being a terrifying monster? Isn"t such childish behavior too shameful?"
Hearing this, the circular creature finally stopped rolling around, protesting its feeling of being wronged. It began to roar, saying that it didn"t want to be left alone.
Ling Lan laughed coldly, "With your body, where can you run to? You want me to stay at this trash place forever? It you"re not satisfied, I can instantly get rid of you. Then you won"t be alone anymore."
The circular creature"s body immediately froze. It seemed to remember that its life was in the hands of this person in front of it. In the next second, it pounced towards Ling Lan. Wait no, it sent out two tentacles and wrapped around Ling Lan"s mecha"s thigh firmly. It was softly caressing her mecha"s thigh with its head, trying to get on Ling Lan"s good side.
"Dad, where did it learn something like this?" Ling Lan looked to Ling Xiao helplessly. It had only been three months and this circular creature already learned the bad habits of the human race.
Ling Xiao coughed and said, "In the past three months, too many people from 250 Mecha Clan came here. Perhaps it learned by observing them."
"Alright, speak properly, don"t act cute." Ling Lan"s beam shield flashed and shook off the circular creature"s tentacles easily. Of course this was also because the circular creature was afraid of hurting Ling Lan, thus it didn"t use any force.
"Rawr…"
Follow her? How would that be possible? No starship would dare to transport a creature of this size.
Ling Lan shook her head, "No way. I can"t take you with me with your large body."
"Rawr…"
"You"re saying your body can be stretched freely?" Ling Lan said with surprise in her voice.
"Rawr…"
"Oh, not stretching but splitting the main body. The primary stages of splitting, the main body is small." Ling Lan thought about it and believed it seemed right. Otherwise, if the creatures here could freely stretch their bodies, it would be quite terrifying.
"Oh yeah. Are there any other creatures on this planet who has your ability?" Ling Lan thought of this possibility and felt irritated. If there were creatures with this ability with a high degree of intelligence, then those creatures would be the bane of the soldiers who remained on the planet for future missions.
In order to make Ling Lan happy, the circular creature told her everything it knew. It cried out once again, telling Ling Lan, no other creature on this planet had the ability to change their body size.
Ling Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Without this ability, the soldiers of the Federation would be safer. It would also not affect the 250 Mecha Clan"s rewards.
Ling Lan told the creature to split apart in front of her. If its body was really small, she would take it with her.
Hearing this, the circular creature was very happy. Soon, the creature suddenly cracked open right in the middle. A white mini-version of the circular creature swam out from it.
It looked similar to a ball. Its two eyes almost took up the surface area of the ball. It had countless number of tentacles at the bottom of it, but those tentacles were very soft. They were like bits of string, moving along with the flow of the water. It actually looked cute.
Ling Lan saw how the circular creature looked after it split its body. She was silent for a few moments and then finally said, "In the future, I"ll refer to you as Little White."
Previously, Ling Lan didn"t even think about giving a name to the main body of the circular creature. Now that she saw a cute miniature ball, she automatically gave it a name. As expected, ladies cannot reject a cute creature. Even though Ling Lan"s outer expression was cold and heartless, it was still hard for her to suppress her feminine side.
Hearing the name, Ling Xiao had a look of hopelessness on his face. He suddenly discovered that his daughter didn"t have any talent in giving names…
"Rawr…" Little White cried out excitedly. It could finally leave this lifeless and desolate place. It turns out, the actions of Little White was planned. It wasn"t actually because it would miss Ling Lan… Too bad Ling Lan was used by Little White this one time.
Ling Lan told Little White to hide in the s.p.a.ce between her large sword and its sheath. Little White squeezed its body into the s.p.a.ce. Seeing this, Ling Lan actually had the thought of pinching Little White, thinking that it would be very soft and stretchy…
Wah wah wah. It took her two lifetimes to discover she actually liked toys and dolls that were stretchy, soft and cute… In the c.o.c.kpit, Ling Lan couldn"t help but blush. She definitely couldn"t let others discover what she liked. Otherwise, she would lose her dignity as the Boss.
