Chapter 1246: First Meeting with Demon King Li
After pondering for a moment, Li Jinnian, who had been judging Ye Jian, asked again, “What expression did she have after seeing tomorrow’s training plan?”
Big Whale thought for a moment, then shook his head. “No expression. She only replied with a ‘got it’. She did not say anything else.”
Ye Jian, who had undergone strict training, was already used to having the mindset of “military orders are inviolable”. No matter how much she disagreed with the training plan, it wouldn’t change.
Li Jinnian’s handsome face finally broke into a smile when he heard this. It was like a beautiful rainbow that had appeared on a snowy mountain.
Fortunately, Big Whale did not look up. Instead, he lowered his head to guess Ye Jian’s background. Li Jinnian’s smile was like the wind blowing in the snow. He regained his original expression within a second as if he had not smiled.
While the two of them were discussing, Ye Jian had already changed her clothes and zipped up the tent. In the dark, she looked up at the night sky where she could touch the dazzling stars if she reached out her hand. As she looked, she closed her eyes.
When she opened her eyes again, it was time for the morning a.s.sembly at five o’clock. There was no whistle or bugle call. She had to wake up on her own.
Ye Jian, who arrived ten minutes early, didn’t appear immediately. She hid behind the reef and firstly observed under the faint light. Last night, the meaningful gaze Big Whale gave her before he left made her feel that… the morning a.s.sembly wouldn’t be too simple.
There was someone standing on the beach with his hands behind his back. The figure standing in the faint light was vague and mysterious. He was very tall, at least 1.85 meters[1] tall. His limbs were long and well-proportioned. He stood motionless as if he had been standing there for a thousand years.
What surprised Ye Jian was the aura he exuded. It was different from Xia Jinyuan’s imposing aura that was so steady that it made her feel at ease.
His aura was turbulent and bone-chilling. It was as if a snow mountain was about to collapse. It carried a powerful aura that could destroy everything.
This aura made Ye Jian retract her gaze immediately. She didn’t want Li Jinnian to notice her. Her instincts told her that the person standing in front of her must be Li Jinnian.
Three water ghosts swept across the beach like ghosts. They hugged the bare tree and climbed up the tree in the blink of an eye.
The sound of seagulls could be heard coming from the trees. It was a secret signal between them.
Ye Jian was invigorated. As expected, the morning a.s.sembly wouldn’t go smoothly!
It was seven minutes to 5 am when five figures trotted out from the left in a line. The line was neat, and they were chanting “one, two, one”. They looked neat and energetic.
Li Jinnian’s gaze suddenly darkened. He raised his hand slightly and several figures rushed out from the crowd. A few of them fell to the ground in the blink of an eye.
“Are you kidding me? A sneak attack early in the morning! Do you still want us to train?”
“Is it interesting? Is it interesting?”
There were still two people in front who could fight back and say something before their mouths were covered. The other three Navies were directly pressed down on the beach and a murderous low bellow came from above their heads, “Shut up, lest you want to eat a mouthful of sand.”
Ye Jian, who had witnessed everything, heaved a sigh of relief. All of a sudden, her hair stood on end. She rolled forward two times and dodged the sneak attack from the person on the reef.
“Huh?” The water ghost jumped down from the reef and exclaimed in surprise. His exclamation contained a few different connotations.
