Chapter 1 A Month of Military Life

For Jiang Xiao, a month of military life felt like a dream.

First, he returned alive from the extremely dangerous Snow Mountain Domain.

Second, he returned alive from the extremely dangerous Two-Tailed.

No joke, Jiang Xiao's mission would be a glorious chapter in his life.

At the time when the country needed him most, at the critical moment in the Great Northwest of China, Jiang Xiao appeared on the Northwest front!

As an apprentice in the Tail Feather Team, he and Captain Two-Tailed, along with Wen Di of the Shattered Mountain Army, jointly destroyed a full 14 Snow Mountain Domain other-dimensional spaces. These were real achievements.

Becoming a full-fledged Night Watchman apprentice was probably not a problem.

Of course, whether he became a full-fledged member was up to Two-Tailed. In the special Light Chasing Squad, Two-Tailed, as the leader of the team, had extraordinary power.

The higher-ups agreed to Two-Tailed's request to return home and gave her ample vacation time. How ample? Ample enough to last until September 1st, the day Jiang Xiao's school started. Two-Tailed could return to the team then...

Two-Tailed had long been mentally prepared for this.

She clearly knew why she had become the leader of the team, and she also knew why she had been transferred from the Northeast Army to the Northwest Army. Clearly, a big shot had taken a liking to Jiang Xiao.

However, this big shot's love for talent was not particularly strong. There were no mandatory orders for Jiang Xiao to join a certain army or anything like that. Instead, Jiang Xiao was given some conveniences in certain areas.

In Two-Tailed's eyes, this situation seemed more like a kind of care? Or... compensation?

Logically speaking, after the Tail Feather Team had been working continuously in the Baishan Mountains for a month, it seemed reasonable for the higher-ups to give the team time to rest.

But it should be noted that the vacation was given, but the Tail Feather Team was not sent back.

That is to say, whether it was Two-Tailed or her team, they were still under the Northwest Night Watch Army and belonged to the Light Chasing Regiment.

What made Two-Tailed feel more comfortable was that the only direct leaders, the leaders of the Light Chasing Regiment, were very polite to her. They did not interfere with any of her team's affairs, nor did they give her any tasks.

Two-Tailed was in a good mood and didn't pay much attention to it.

For her, joining the army was to serve the country. China was so vast, it didn't matter where she served as a soldier. She only needed to follow the organization's arrangements.

But in this military life, if she could have some power to form her own team, that would be even better.

Two-Tailed never hid her appreciation for Jiang Xiao. During this trip to the Baishan Mountains, she gained a deeper understanding of Jiang Xiao and was even more satisfied with him in her heart, and she was full of expectations.

At this time, Two-Tailed was full of confidence. In the future, her Tail Feather Team would definitely shine in the Northwest Night Watch Army.

Both publicly and privately, Two-Tailed was willing to see Jiang Xiao's strength improve further.

Therefore, she took Jiang Xiao back to her hometown.

Two-Tailed was already used to military life. She didn't have a home. The military camp was her home.

Although Jiang Xiao had a home, Two-Tailed didn't let him go back...

She didn't want Jiang Xiao to waste time reuniting with his sister. After all, Two-Tailed had promised to let him go to school, so after September 1st, the two siblings could reunite every day...

Two-Tailed didn't think that Jiang Xiao could improve much in the comfortable life of university, but unfortunately, this was something the two of them had agreed upon, and Two-Tailed couldn't go back on her word, so she could only let Jiang Xiao go to school.

Two-Tailed could wait for the four years of university. What's more, she could requisition Jiang Xiao's every vacation.

This situation should also be what the Northwest Night Watch Army wanted to see.

Two-Tailed scoffed at the comfortable university life, so at every minute and every second of the current stage, she hoped that Jiang Xiao could wander on the line of death.

Therefore, when she asked Jiang Xiao which Star Techniques he wanted to improve, and when Jiang Xiao responded with "Blessing" and "Bait," Two-Tailed was not happy.

Compared to the armory, the Snow Plains were a bit too easy.

Since the military plane landed outside Jiangbin City, the two of them rested in the military for one night. The next day, they went to the Snow Plains other-dimensional space in Jiannan Village.

At the same time, Two-Tailed also came up with an interesting training plan.

...

"You mean... take me to the Saint's Tomb?" Jiang Xiao slowly parked the car and turned to look at Two-Tailed in the passenger seat.

"Yes." Two-Tailed looked at the brightly lit town government building outside the window and replied faintly.

Jiang Xiao opened the door and got out of the car, saying, "Okay, there are many monsters in the Saint's Tomb, so we can find the White Ghost Wizards faster."

Jiang Xiao liked this plan very much. If they wandered around the Snow Plains to find White Ghost Wizards one by one, how long would that take?

Wouldn't the Saint's Tomb be full of White Ghost Wizards if they just charged in?

My Two-Tailed is the best!

She could use her special status to take Jiang Xiao through the Night Watch Army's guards and directly enter the Saint's Tomb to hunt. This was much more efficient than him and Xia Yan coming.

However... Shouldn't there be Night Watch Army guards in the Saint's Tomb as well? If there were guards, how could Jiang Xiao use the Light of Reversal to infuse Star Beads?

Jiang Xiao said worriedly, "Um, there should be people from the Night Watch Army guarding the Saint's Tomb, right?"

Two-Tailed opened the car door and got out, and also understood what Jiang Xiao meant.

She thought for a while and said, "The Saint's Tomb in this Snow Plains is inside the hill. There won't be any Night Watch Army guarding it. If there are, I can drive them out of that hill."

The two of them were very familiar with the Snow Plains other-dimensional space in Jiannan Village.

In fact, the two of them first met here. When fighting against foreign mercenaries, the two of them also broke into the Saint's Tomb together. They were considered to be relatively familiar with the terrain of the Saint's Tomb.

Compared to other Snow Plains, the Saint's Tomb in this Snow Plains did have natural terrain advantages.

The Night Watch Army would only be stationed outside the canyon at most. Without permission, they were absolutely not allowed to approach the Saint's Tomb. After all, the White Ghosts and White Ghost Wizards in the Snow Plains were weak and their Star Techniques were relatively simple. It was difficult to cut off the dimensional channel.

The only thing that could destroy the Saint's Tomb was human factors, so the Night Watch Army was not allowed to approach the interior of the Saint's Tomb.

Jiang Xiao opened the back door of the car, took out the giant steel blade from the back seat, carried it on his back, and picked up the silver spear and handed it to Two-Tailed.

Two-Tailed took the silver spear, grabbed the roof of the car with one hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Let's make a deal. No Star Techniques are allowed."

Jiang Xiao had just bent down to pick up the bow and quiver when he heard this and was stunned.

He raised his head, looked at Two-Tailed outside the opposite car door, and asked, "No Star Techniques? Can't even use medical Star Techniques?"

"Yes." Two-Tailed picked up the dark red recurve bow and quiver with her spear and slung it diagonally across her back.

Jiang Xiao blinked. What did she mean?

Was she looking for abuse?

Even if she was incredibly strong, there would always be times when she missed, right?

There were piles and piles of monsters in the Saint's Tomb. There were so many of them that they were scary. As long as the space portal was not destroyed, the monsters in the Saint's Tomb would never be killed!

If this went on for a long time, what if she really got scratched? And she wouldn't let him use Star Techniques?

If she didn't get treatment in time, what if her wound got infected? What if she bled to death?

Jiang Xiao closed the car door, chased after Two-Tailed, and said, "Then I'll go to the pharmacy to buy a medical kit and a first aid kit, right?"

Two-Tailed: ???

Jiang Xiao quickly caught up, walked side by side with her, and said, "At least buy a few bandages to make a scene? If you really get scratched by a White Ghost, I can't just watch you bleed to death..."

Two-Tailed said faintly, "That won't happen."

Jiang Xiao said earnestly, "Don't say that. There's no such thing as absolute in this world. I'm a doctor. You have to understand me. A doctor is like a parent. How can Dad bear to see you get hurt and no one to take care of you..."

Two-Tailed stopped abruptly.

Jiang Xiao walked out two steps and came back to his senses, and hurriedly stopped. His scalp was numb. "I... I mean, I can't stand seeing my teammates get hurt. I'm a healer with professional ethics... a doctor."

Jiang Xiao turned slightly to the side. Under the street lamp, the huge figure behind him walked towards him.

She's coming!

She's reaching out!

Should I strike first?

Qing Mang or silence? (Qing Mang: Cyan Edge, skill name)

Retreat or a desperate fight?

Wow, so exciting!

This is the gate of the town government.

This Snow Plains had an accident just last year, and it was heavily guarded. If I do anything unusual, will these soldiers execute me?

Jiang Xiao couldn't stand the feeling of facing the "beast" with his back to it. All fear comes from the unknown!

A true warrior dares to face the dripping blood!

Jiang Xiao suddenly turned around and raised his head. The smooth and unyielding movements were completed in one go!

This is a stubbornness of a nanny! (Nanny: Supporter/Healer)

Don't let me heal you? That's impossible!

Two-Tailed's stiff face was not suitable for making any expressions.

So, at this time, the smile on her face was a bit strange, even a bit horrifying...

She pressed one hand on Jiang Xiao's shoulder, slowly bent down, looked down at Jiang Xiao, the huge figure brought overwhelming pressure, and the hoarse voice was a bit森然 sinister: "Life and death are destined, Star Techniques are forbidden."

Jiang Xiao held the last stubbornness of the nanny and blessed word by word: "Since that's the case! I wish you a safe delivery!" (The original phrase means "I wish you a happy pregnancy" but that doesn't make sense in context, so I modified it to a phrase that implies safety.)
