Chapter 115:

Just let us be

So What If I'm a Girl


Ying Chue paused for a moment, his hand trembled as he watched Lan Du get closer to Tu Ling. The same goes for Sung Lu and the other crew, they felt that Lan Du's actions were not only disrespectful but also infuriating.

Ying Chue took in a deep breath and calmed himself

"Your goal on releasing the prisoners, it was to make me hesitate to fight you head on, correct? And as for the weaponry, your real goal was to reveal Tu Ling's existence as a support domain ream master, so you will be able to reveal confidential knowledge"

Lan Du snickered

"Not bad, but it should be obvious, after all, if I never said those words, you would have bombarded me the moment I stepped out, would you not?" Lan Du lifted a brow as her right hand reached up and were placed on Tu Ling's cheeks.

"Sweetie, you should never get close to men like me, after all, this big bad wolf likes to eat little lambs the most" Lan Du whispered into her ears, making her face flush completely red.

Lan Du giggled and stepped back

"So how about it? I can kill the prisoners for you, of course, they have the choice to submit to you, none of it is my concern, all I need is to get to Xing Dian" Lan Du chuckled and leaned on the wall behind her.

The people in the control centre became deathly pale, blood drained from their faces as Lan Du's words seeped into their minds.

Ying Chue's eyes didn't move from Lan Du

"Cunning lad, not bad, but how do you know I'll let you go?" His eyes darkened as he glared at her

Lan Du giggled, her attitude was carefree and casual as if she wasn't in an intense situation.

"Because I have given you a reason to kill these prisoners, I know your nature, you enjoy killing these types of people, but the law does not allow you to kill them, but now they have escaped, stolen weapons and even took over the control centre" Lan Du's smile widened

Hearing this, Ying Chue paused, everything expected to get angrier, but unexpectedly, he began laughing

"Yes, you're right, the moment you proved your identity, I was going to let you go, because you gave me this chance" He laughed, his laughter scared not only the prisoners, but also his own crew.

In all honesty, they have never seen their admiral smile, much less laugh. They have only ever seen his cold indifference, yet now, he was laughing.

Lan Du snapped her finger, suddenly, screams filled the control centre, everyone looked inside, yet the people were not dead. Instead, they were rolling around on the ground whilst holding their eyes.

"Have fun, I don't care what you do to them, as long as I get what I want" Lan Du said casually

Hearing this, Ying Chue laughed even more as he stepped into the room. He closed the door behind him and the screams inside began dying down.

No, it wasn't dying down, rather, it was disappearing one by one. Even a fool could tell that Ying Chue was now killing them one after another.

Lan Du's gaze landed on Sung Lu

"Sung Lu, when I was young, you were one of the few people I admired...but when I met you in person, it seems I was a fool to believe so" Lan Du chuckled and said.

Tu Ling stared at her

"A-About your story earlier, was it all a lie?" She asked

Lan Du shook her head

"I was indeed detained by the pirates, as for the tears, yes, that was all a lie, but I want to know, were you concerned about me?" Lan Du leaned closer to her face and asked.

Tu Ling was a head shorted than Lan Du so despite the age difference, Lan Du looked more mature than Tu Ling did. Tu Ling blushed as she shook her head.

"I-I just didn't want to wrong an innocent person" She replied

Lan Du chuckled, she was about to say something else when...

*Bang*

A gunshot was heard, no one knew where it was aimed at. Lan Du looked around, but there wasn't any marks on the people nearby, but she suddenly felt a burning pain.

She looked down, and blood was seeping out her lower abdomen.

The person who shot had a terrified expression on his face, but deep in his eyes, were a strong sense of jealousy as he stared at Lan Du.

Lan Du coughed as she covered her wound with her hand.

'Blood empress, stop the bleeding'

But the bleeding didn't stop, she was shocked, why couldn't she control her blood?

"Leng Yu!" Tu Ling was shocked, so were everyone else. Tu Ling was the first to take action by laying Lan Du down and attempted to stop the bleeding.

Sung Lu on the other hand apprehended the man who shot her

Lan Du coughed once more before she looked down at her wound.

"I-Iya!"

Lan Du then heard the blood empress, then, her bleeding stopped, and her pale face began regaining her colours. After taking in a deep breath, she stood up whilst ignoring the pain in her abdomen.

"You can't move, the injury will get worse" Tu Ling shouted as she tried to pull Lan Du down but Lan Du shook her hand off.

She glanced at the man in Sung Lu's hand and walked over slowly

"Not a bad shot" She said coldly, her eyes void of any emotions as she reached out her right hand and grabbed the man's cheeks. Her hand was soaked with blood so it began flowing into the man's mouth.

After a few drops entered, Lan Du released her grip and punched the man's face.

"I have seen many people jealous of me, you're the first to shoot me for it, wonder what you reason was, was it Tu Ling? Or your admiral's approval of me?" Lan Du's punch sent the man flying despite Sung Lu's tight grip on his.

Sung Lu was momentarily shocked, but when he realised what happened, Lan Du had already walked over to him and stomped on his head.

"You shot my abdomen, so I'll rip apart your internal organs, sound fair?" Without waiting for his response, she snapped her finger and the blood that has flowed through his mouth began rampaging inside his body.

"AHHHHH!" He screamed in terrible pain, he rolled around and tears were rolling down his face, but no matter what he did, the pain only intensified.

The people didn't know what Lan Du did, but the man's painful expression sent chills down their spines.

"First, your liver" She said casually as blood burst out of his upper abdomen.

"Now your intestines" Lan Du said lightly, and his lower abdomen began bleeding like a river.

"Oh, I remember a human has two kidneys, since you have two, why don't you give me one?" Lan Du flicked her hand again and the pain in his body intensified.

Lan Du's violent actions caused the people around her to all shake in fear. How is she causing all this, and why does she seem to be enjoying it as well?

Her expression slowly changed as a sadistic smile rose to her face.

"Leng Yu, stop this at once" Sung Lu grabbed Lan Du's arm and pulled her aside, but Lan Du's gaze grew cold the moment he touched her as she grabbed the hand that touched her and lifted her leg.

Her leg then slammed down on the back of his head, smashing him to the ground.

"When I do my business, people like you should stay out" Lan Du said coldly as she turned back to the man on the ground.

She flicked her finger once again

"Which one am I at? Ah yes, how about your stomach now"

"Gwargh"

The man screamed in pain as blood flowed out his body and mouth. He began choking on his own blood and could hardly breathe in this situation.

"Don't die yet, I haven't had my fun yet" Lan Du said with a smirk as she kicked his stomach, causing more blood to spew out his mouth.

His head tilted to the side. The screaming stopped and all signs of life in him were gone.

"Tch, dead already" Lan Du muttered

Sung Lu got up, and his face paled, Lan Du was too violent, her ferocity terrified him as well but he gritted his teeth and pinned her to the wall whilst activating his domain.

Lan Du could feel heat rise as the area became warm.

"This should be your infernal domain" Lan Du said lightly, her expression was calm whilst Sung Lu held both her arms behind her back and her face slammed against the wall.

Sung Lu's expression was grim

"Even if he has done such a thing, you shouldn't have killed him, much less in such a cruel way" He said sharply, his grip was tight as he held her down.

Lan Du rolled her eyes

Tu Ling walked over at this moment, however, when she checked Lan Du's injury, she was shocked to see that her blood had stopped dripping and the injury wasn't causing any blood loss.

She gasped and couldn't help but lift Lan Du's coat to check the injury, it was bloody, but the blood was already drying up. The bullet was still inside so it could still cause more damage to her body, thus Tu Ling took out tweezers.

"Don't let him move, I need to take out the bullet first, that bullet has a strong sealing effect, though it's still a working progress" She said as she began her operation.

Sung Lu nodded, Lan Du however was thinking about the bullet

"A sealing affect? How long does it last?" She asked curiously

Sung Lu didn't reply, he just held her tight without saying a word.

"If you won't reply, I'll scream" Lan Du said again

Sung Lu didn't even know what she meant, but he chose to ignore her completely. Seeing that Sung Lu didn't react at all, she grumbled and waited for the bullet in her to be removed.

It took a few minutes, but Tu Ling was able to remove it smoothly, but she found it strange.

"I have worked as a medic for many years before becoming a colonel, how come your blood stopped flowing?" She asked

Lan Du shook her head

"I'll say it again, captain Sung Lu, if you don't tell me, I will scream" Lan Du said again with a sly smile on her face, her eyes filled with playfulness.

Sung Lu grumbled

"Scream all you want, no one is helping you" He said sternly

At this moment, the doors to the control centre opened and Ying Chue walked out. He saw a complicated scene in front of him.

"What are you doing" He asked as he gazed upon Lan Du and Sung Lu

"Admiral, he-"

"Help! I'm being molested!" Lan Du shouted with a fearful look in her eyes.

Her words left everyone dumbfounded. Molested?

Sung Lu was baffled whilst Ying Chue stared at him with a complicated gaze.

"I didn't expect you to be-"

Sung Lu gasped

"No sir! Don't listen to him! I would never be interested in a boy!" He shouted

Lan Du's eyes were watery

"You pinned me against the wall and held my hands behind my back, what else are you going to do? With my back faced against you, what else can you do?" Lan Du cried out

Sung Lu was shocked, this was clearly not the same person as before!

Tu Ling was just as confused, she stared at Lan Du who seemed to have become a completely different person. In her eyes, Lan Du was cold blooded, but now, she looked like any other teenager she would find on the street.

"Then what about that corpse" Ying Chue pointed at the dead man laying behind them

Sung Lu sighed

"He was killed by this lad over here because he shot him, I have to say, his methods are vicious" He said as he stared at Lan Du.

Lan Du's eyes were still watery

"You just stood there when he pulled out his gun, now you want to play the good guy?" Lan Du refuted as she acted like she was struggling.

Ying Chue couldn't watch this any longer

"J-Just release her, it isn't good for a girl to be held like this" He sighed and waved his hand

As if time froze, everyone stopped moving. They all stared at Lan Du...

"A-Admiral, what do you mean by that?" Sung Lu couldn't help but want a comfirmation.

Ying Chue lifted a brow

"Her actions are justified, so you should release her" He said

"N-no, not that, y-you said a girl, w-who may you be addressing?" He asked again

Realising this, Ying Chue nodded his head

"When I was inside, those prisoners said the lad was actually a lass, so you should let go of her" He explained

Shock, disbelief and confusion, no one expected this twist. They stared at Lan Du in shock as if they have seen a monster.

Sung Lu was frozen, he didn't know how he should react at all, it was then that Tu Ling pulle dhim aside and held Lan Du in her arms.

"Stop oogling her, Sung Lu, why didn't you release her earlier, look at how scared she is, there there, big sister is here" She patted Lan Du's back and said

'Maybe this is her real nature, she's just scared' She thought to herself as she comforted Lan Du.

Lan Du frowned slightly

Admiral Ying then added

"If I'm not worng, there is one person who can perfectly fit this lass's description, you're Yuan Min's daughter, Lan Yu, aren't you?" He said slowly

Lan Du paused before stepping aside

"How did you realise?" She asked

Ying Chue revealed a rare smile

"I heard quite a lot about you from Major General Kuang, and the three Colonel cards you gave me only proved my points, only you have such things, but your face is a bit different from the photo" He rubbed his chin and said

Lan Du shook her head

"No, the photo is real, but not me, I wear facades almost everywhere I go" Lan Du replied

'To think he'd know me, dammit, this is a misconduct on my end, at the very least, I need to make sure he doesn't know my real face'

Ying Chue nodded

"Leng Yu, dragon ranked mercenary, this is most likely your current facade, I will uphold my end of our previous discussion and send you to Xing Dian, but you have caused quite the mess, including drugging the soup" He said lightly

Lan Du smiled

"If I didn't do it, how would you realise something was wrong and head to the control centre immediately?" She chuckled and her body slumped back onto the wall.

Her head felt light suddenly as she began coughing

"A-Admiral, I-I have one last request" Lan Du said sickly

Her condition drop surprised everyone, Tu Ling was the first to hold her up and support her from the side. Ying Chue nodded his head.

"What do you want?" He asked

Lan Du smiled

"When you captured me, you also took away my medication and fille dmy container with bullets, I need the *cough* *cough* m-medication now" She said lightly

Admiral Ying was slightly confused

"Medication? But all you had was some lollipops inside it" He replied with a confused look in his eyes

"Even my face is fake, why can't the cady I hold be a fake?" Lan Du replied

Realising this, he reached into his pocket and passed a lollipop over to her. Lan Du took it and unwrapped it before plopping it in her mouth.

Her pale face became vibrant once again, Lan Du then hung her arm over Tu Ling's shoulders.

"I'm a bit tired" Lan Du feigned sickness as she slumped closer towards Tu Ling.

Knowing Lan Du's gender, she no longer felt embarrassed or shy, she supported Lan Du by her arm and gave the crew a warning before she left with Lan Du.

Sung Lu was still thinking about Lan Du being a girl, all the things she has done. Was that something agirl should be doing at all!? How was she raised to be like this?!

"Admiral, h-how is she a girl?" He couldn't help but ask

Ying Chue shook his head

"I don't know either, I only know that she is Yuan Min's daughter and she is quite flirtatious..." As if he realised something, his pupils shrunk.

Sung Lu still didn't quite understand however

"Flirtatious? But dressed like that, how will guys be attracted to her?" He questioned

Admiral suddenly slammed his hand against the wall behind him

"Not guys! Girls! Go, send someone after Tu Ling! We can't let them be alone!" He shouted, his words momentarily shocked everyone.

The moment his words left his mouth, everyone began running in the direction Lan Du had left with Tu Ling. They searched every corner of the hallways and made sure not to leave a single place unchecked.

"W-We couldn't find them anywhere" Someone reported

Ying Chue frozned

"I'll check her room, Sung Lu, you check the infirmary" He ordered and walked away in a hurry, Sung Lu nodded his head and went in another direction.

Sung Lu arrived in front of the infirmary not long after, he then ehard footsteps behind him. It was Ying Chue, who pushed him aside and opened the informary door.

The moment the door was opened, they heard a gentle but seductive voice.

"Shhh, just stay still, no one is here to disturb us" They turned their heads and saw Lan Du, but shockingly, Tu Ling was seated on Lan Du's lap with a red face.

Her breathing was heavy and she was panting as she placed a hand on Lan Du's face and gently stroked it. Lan Du chuckled as she leaned her face closer to Tu Ling's ears as if she was about to nibble them.

Many crew members has also arrived, when they saw such a scene happening, some couldn't help but feel their urges rise at that moment.

Lan Du had one hand on Tu Ling's waist and another on her neck, it gently stroke her neck and she gently blew into Tu Ling's ears.

"Relax and let it be, you'll be feeling much better soon" Lan Du said sweetly

*drip*

Lan Du suddenly heard a dripping noise, she turned her head to the door and saw that many people were standing at the door and blood was dripping onto the ground. She looked up, and many had a bloodied nose which they were trying to cover.

Seeing this, Lan Du covered Tu Ling's eyes

"Shh, you're going to scare her with your unsightly looks, just close the door and let us be" Lan Du said seductively
