Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 387 Awkward
Although Lan Xin was somewhat oblivious to matters of the heart, his senses were still quite sharp. After Ning Xuan finished speaking, he sensed the suppressed anger beneath her calm surface.

He hadn't served his master for over a year and had somewhat forgotten his master's temperament. Only then did he suddenly realize that he had said the wrong thing.

For more than a year, Lan Xin commanded troops in the field as the commander-in-chief of an army. Every decision he made was related to countless lives and the course of the war. Every decision was the result of analyzing the advantages and disadvantages. The battlefield situation was changing rapidly, which required him to make the most correct decision in the shortest amount of time.

Lan Xin deftly unbuttoned the gold buttons of her military uniform with her slender fingers, took off her shirt, and placed it neatly on the ground beside her. "Master, please calm your anger. I know my status is lowly and dare not ask for your favor. I only wish to be a sharp blade in your hand, to expand your territory. For this goal, I dare not slacken for a moment."

Ning Xuan looked at Lan Xin's bare upper body. Her delicate collarbones were beautiful, the muscle lines of her shoulders and back were very attractive, her abdominal muscles were well-defined, her slender waist looked strong and powerful, and there were obvious dimples on her lower back.

"What happened to these scars?" Ning Xuan touched the crisscrossing scars on Lan Xin's back. Although the scars were already quite shallow, their width still revealed how grotesque they had looked back then.

"Reporting to Master, this is a violation of military discipline, and he was beaten by military law." Lan Xin felt Ning Xuan's fingertips touch him, and his muscles trembled involuntarily. He felt the fiery sensation within him resurfacing.

Ning Xuan reached out and lifted Lan Xin's chin. "What military discipline did you violate to be beaten like this? Who hit you?" Ning Xuan was somewhat dissatisfied. When Lan Xin was by her side, she was always obedient and she had never hit her. How could she be beaten like this in the army?

Lan Xin was beaten, and beaten so badly. Judging from the depth of these marks, it wasn't just one beating. Someone must have been sabotaging him from behind.

Poor Lan Xin, how much suffering has she endured this year?
Ning Xuan decided to question Lan Xin thoroughly and seek justice for her.

“Master, it’s Commander Ying,” Lan Xin replied, without specifying what military discipline he had violated.

When Ning Xuan heard that it was Ying Yaoshi who had hit her, her angry expression suddenly calmed down. "Ying Yaoshi, oh, alright then, get up."

Ning Xuan patted Lan Xin's shoulder, but heard Lan Xin groan. Only then did she realize that Lan Xin's originally fair skin had turned a light pink, and strong pheromones were emanating from his body.

Ning Xuan saw Lan Xin's shoulders, back, and face turn red at a visible speed. Lan Xin felt her heart pounding in her chest and her blood heating up. She boldly stepped forward and hugged Ning Xuan. "Master, you have triggered my fever."

In the past year, in order to serve in the military, Lan Xin had been using a unique method to suppress the onset of her fever. While suppressing the fever, it also had some impact on her natural feelings. Therefore, before, Lan Xin's feelings for Ning Xuan were simply submission, but now, it is obviously different.

Seeing the dramatic changes in Lan Xin in such a short time, and considering Lan Xin's personal circumstances, Ning Xuan had some guesses about his previous actions.

Although Ning Xuan understood him somewhat, it couldn't completely quell her anger, so Lan Xin had a very difficult night.

The next day, Zhou Shi looked at the cold-faced General Lan with suspicion, "General, what happened to the injury on your face? Did you fall? No, it looks like..."

"Zhou Shi, you go to the monitoring center over there and keep watch. You'll be relieved in two days. Do you hear me? Get going right now," Lan Xin ordered coldly.

"Yes, sir." Zhou Shi saluted and headed dejectedly toward the monitoring center. Zhou Shi had originally planned to stay by Miss Ning's side for the next few days, but now he had been sent to the monitoring station.

General Lan is too stingy. He knows perfectly well that Miss Ning is his sworn lord. He has absolutely no improper thoughts towards Miss Ning; he just wants to express his gratitude for saving his life.

Just as Lan Xin arrived at the training ground to begin his daily drills, a communications soldier reported that Lan Jingchen had found his residence and insisted on seeing General Lan's sworn brother.

The guard asked her what she wanted to do, and she actually said that she wanted to challenge General Lan's sworn master.

Lan Xin was incredulous when he heard the news. He had witnessed Ning Xuan's fighting prowess firsthand. For someone like Lan Jingchen to dare challenge her was truly overestimating himself.

"Zhao Peng, go and chase Lan Jingchen away," Lan Xin instructed, pointing to an officer below her.

"Yes, General, General, how should I chase her away? What if she doesn't leave?" Zhao Peng was tall and strong, with dark skin, like an iron tower, and looked fierce.

"Find a few people, lift her up, and throw her out," Lan Xin said coldly.

Ning Xuan was still asleep after Lan Xin got up and left.

Ning Xuan was awakened by the noise outside. She slowly got up, stretched, and got out of bed sleepily. The pajamas that Lan Xin had changed her into were on her. Ning Xuan casually put on a trench coat and went out.

"What's all this noise about so early in the morning?" Ning Xuan asked in a lazy voice.

"You must be Lan Xin's sworn master. I solemnly challenge you. According to the rules, if you lose, Lan Xin will belong to me." Lan Jingchen looked at Ning Xuan's flawless skin and youthful face, and a deep jealousy rose in his heart.

Ning Xuan paused for a moment upon hearing Lan Jingchen's words, then frowned. "For a half-orc slave to change masters, the first thing to do is for the half-orc to submit an application to the association and contact the new master to challenge the former master. That's the correct procedure. What's the point of you coming here to challenge him yourself?"

Ning Xuan, having two orc contract slaves, naturally understood the process of orcs changing masters.

“Once I defeat you, Lan Xin will naturally know that I am the master he can entrust with his life. I will accompany him to submit the application, so you don’t need to worry about these things.” As Lan Jingchen spoke, he also revealed his weapon, a slender sword.

"Sister Lan, come with me quickly." After learning that Lan Jingchen had come to find Ning Xuan early in the morning, Le Ling rushed over, wanting to pull her away.

"No, I'm not leaving. I'm serious. I won't leave until we've decided who's better today." Lan Jingchen stared intently at Ning Xuan, refusing to leave.

"Sister Lan, haven't you seen any early videos or interviews of the Alchemist Competition? Don't you know who the champion of the last Alchemist Competition was?" Le Ling asked tentatively.
