Full-Time Magister: I can control you to death

"It's so cold. What's the date today?" Liu Ru asked, rubbing her arms.

"It's been a little over January, almost February," Xu Fang replied casually. Liu Ru, unable to wait for the words she wanted to hear, couldn't help but muster her courage and ask, "Oh, so it's almost Chinese New Year. Where are you going to spend it?"

Liu Ru's eyes held a hint of anticipation. She and Xu Fang couldn't possibly have a family together, so if Xu Fang said, "Let's stay here," she'd readily agree...

Those who are favored are always confident.

Xu Fang was always very gentle with her and took care of her in every way, truly treating her like a younger sister, which made Liu Ru bolder.

"I···"

The atmosphere was pleasant, and Xu Fang was about to speak when he was interrupted by an annoying phone ring.

Xu Fang glanced at it: "It's Mo Fan calling, I'll take this call first."

Liu Ru was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth, but she still forced a standard "good sister" smile: "Okay..."

"Yellow Hair, coming to my house for the New Year?" Mo Fan's carefree voice came through the phone: "My dad said he'll cook some good dishes and we'll have a couple of drinks."

"Your alcohol tolerance is so low, and you always act crazy when you're drunk." Xu Fang mimicked in a high-pitched voice, "Xuexue, give me a kiss~ Xinxia, ​​don't go, you are all my wings~~~"

"With video proof, even if you die one day, I will still have someone engrave the QR code on your monument so that everyone can admire your heroic figure, Da Mofan."

Snapped!

The phone hangs up.

Xu Fang felt refreshed and invigorated. Happiness is only interesting when it is built on the unhappiness of others.

When Liu Ru saw that Xu Fang had politely declined Mo Fan's New Year's invitation, she was secretly delighted, feeling that this time she had it all figured out.

"Oh, right, I'm going to the Qinling Mountains. My father-in-law... my girlfriend's father invited me to come," Xu Fang said.

Liu Ru's gaze immediately dimmed.

"Do you want to come along?" Xu Fang asked.

Liu Ru shook her head desperately. She had the desire but not the courage. Xu Fang might simply see her as a younger sister, but she had a guilty conscience!

Especially when I crave his blood every night, my mind is filled with inappropriate images, like a pornographic movie, and I writhe like a maggot in bed.

If she were to meet Jiang Shaoxu... Liu Ru couldn't guarantee that she could speak without her legs going weak the entire time.

······

On the edge of the Qinling Mountains, in a seemingly ordinary cadre building, the sky was just beginning to lighten.

Standing in front of the military mirror, Jiang Chong straightened his collar, straightened his back, and adopted a serious and aloof demeanor.

"The new son-in-law is quite different; he got up early this morning to get ready," the chief of staff said with a smile, sitting on the small sofa.

"What does this have to do with Xu Fang? I'm here for tonight's cultural performance... No, you old fool, you're talking nonsense. There's no son-in-law here!"

"Really?" The chief of staff sat up straight. "If you don't like it, give it to me. I happen to have a niece who's incredibly beautiful..."

Jiang Chong snapped, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Stop! What kind of talk is this, discussing personal matters in the office!"

"Tch, stingy."

The chief of staff leaned back and sighed:

"Seriously, the day your daughter breaks up with someone, remember to let me know immediately so I can take over... Have you seen this year's battle report? The number of casualties has decreased again. It's said that the research institute in Gaoling has developed a burning flashbang that can be deployed by bee swarms."

Fewer people were killed, and more people joined the army.

In the past, we had difficulty recruiting soldiers simply because our casualty rate was higher than in other places. Now, with bombs and swarms of bees, the casualty rate has been reduced, not to mention that our allowances are among the best in the world.

All of this is thanks to Xu Fang… You smiled?

Jiang Chong immediately denied it: "I didn't!"

"You did laugh, I saw it clearly," the chief of staff affirmed.

Jiang Chong was enraged.

Chapter 228 A Few Things About Meeting My Father-in-Law

The chief of staff also came from the Forbidden Army and had been in the realm of forbidden spells for many years. He was one of the few big shots in the Central Army who was not afraid of Jiang Chong.

In particular, the forbidden wind magic they unleashed together was a nightmare for all the demons of the Qinling Mountains and was famous even internationally.

"Say what you have to say, or leave. Don't bother me here," Jiang Chong said impatiently, shooing him away.

The chief of staff sat there leisurely: "I'm not leaving. I need to meet my prospective nephew-in-law."

“The man surnamed Feng is my daughter’s boyfriend.” Jiang Chong’s expression was terrifying.

"Getting anxious, getting anxious. The niece I'm talking about is Shaoxu." The chief of staff raised an eyebrow: "Tsk, half-buried and still so two-faced..."

Jiang Chong's forehead veins bulged.

You fat bastard, how dare you make fun of me!

dong dong dong.

"Commander, Miss Jiang and Mr. Xu have arrived," the guard reported.

Jiang Chong took a deep breath, forcibly switching his expression to the seriousness and pickiness typical of a father-in-law, and said in a low voice, "Bring them in."

This was Xu Fang's first time in Jiang Chong's office.

Contrary to expectations, the office of the Grand Military Command was surprisingly simple.

Upon entering, there is a huge bookcase filled with magic books and periodicals like "Future".

In front of the desk was a large office desk piled high with documents. Jiang Chong's serious, gray-black head peeked out from the mountain of documents, scrutinizing Xu Fang's attire.

Xu Fang's clothes today were bought by Jiang Shaoxu. They weren't flashy; they were a solid-colored coat and trousers, making him look very composed.

Jiang Chong found it very unsettling; the outfit was like a red light at a pork stall, completely concealing Xu Fang's hooligan-like demeanor.

"Commander-in-Chief." Xu Fang greeted him first. Jiang Chong nodded reservedly, and was about to give a nonchalant reply when he saw his daughter give him a threatening look.

Jiang Chong recalled the words his daughter had repeated countless times last night, and his eyelids twitched a few times: "You're here, come and sit down."

There was only one sofa in the office, which was occupied by a huge fat man.

The fat man was wearing a specially made military uniform, and his temples were already white.

In stark contrast was her face, which, because it was fleshy and thick enough, stretched out its wrinkles, resembling the winter plum blossoms of the motherland.

"This is Uncle Feng, the Chief of the General Staff of our Central Military Commission. He watched me grow up since I was a child," Jiang Shaoxu introduced to Xu Fang.

"Hello, Chief of Staff!"

"Good, good boy." Chief of Staff Feng said with a smile. His chin was soft and bouncy when he spoke, making one want to pinch it.

Meeting one's father-in-law is an embarrassing experience, especially for someone like Jiang Chong. Most ordinary people would be terrified upon meeting him.

Fortunately, Xu Fang was thick-skinned, and Chief of Staff Feng and Jiang Shaoxu were good at joking around, so the conversation went exceptionally smoothly.

"The National Team will be gathering after the New Year," Xu Fang said. "I plan to represent myself in the competition."

Jiang Chong frowned: "If it's a personal representation, then the position of captain of the National Government is no longer available. This position is assumed to be held by the military representative."

During the same trip to the National Government, the resources available to the team leader and the team members were vastly different. The difference could be as much as a spirit seed in just a few days, and the accumulated amount over a year would be terrifying.

Jiang Chong certainly didn't want the good stuff to go to outsiders.

"If you're worried that it might have a bad influence if our Central Military Headquarters sends both of you at once, then representing the Southern Military Headquarters isn't out of the question..."

"Thank you, Uncle, but it has nothing to do with that," Xu Fang said with a smile. "I've never been interested in commanding troops. It's better to let Ai Jiangtu handle the complicated matters."

In addition, Xu Fang could easily take a leave of absence and rush to those precious resources along the way, and he wouldn't have to worry about international repercussions if conflicts occurred—his brother Ai would be there to handle the pressure.

"I don't think this kid is a stable person. Let him do his own thing, and the extra resources will be recovered."

Staff Officer Feng laughed heartily, a hint of schadenfreude in his voice: "It's just that old geezer Feng Li who'll have to worry more. He always has that deadpan expression. Last time I suggested building a green channel for the Forbidden City Army at several universities, and that guy vetoed it outright..."

"Ahem." Jiang Chong coughed lightly a few times, signaling him to tone it down.

When you're in front of a younger person, can't you be as serious and reliable as I am?

······

After the snow has melted, early spring will soon arrive.

On Lunar New Year's Eve, a day for family reunion, no matter where they are, travelers will always cherish the longing for home and embark on their journey back...

Qinling Mountains, recruit camp, mess hall.

The news was playing on a large hanging television, and the new recruits were enjoying a lively meal.

The food on the table was quite plentiful. Not to mention chicken, duck, fish and meat, there were also several dishes of demon meat that looked expensive, with a firm and crystal-clear appearance that made one's mouth water.

"It's so delicious, I'm about to cry!"

“I definitely wouldn’t eat this well at home during Chinese New Year. My mom only knows how to make dumplings, and she freezes a whole freezer to eat throughout the year.”

"It's good that the leaders are here. These devilish instructors are so gentle. It's strange that I'm not used to it."

"Haha, you look just like a real person, don't you?"

Overjoyed with their meal, the new recruits raised their voices, making the instructors grit their teeth in annoyance.

If it weren't for the New Year, and the fact that the Grand Commander was going to bring people down for a visit later, he would have already shown these troublemakers why the flowers are so red!

"I'm coming!"

Amidst a commotion, the canteen door was pushed open, and a large group of people, including the Commander-in-Chief Jiang Chong and the Chief of Staff, arrived.

"Greetings, Commander!" the crowd shouted in unison.

Jiang Chong nodded, his gaze sweeping over the recruits' dinner, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Alright, alright, comrades, you've worked hard." The chief of staff was much more lively, carrying a small bag containing a stack of red envelopes: "This is New Year's money for everyone, not much, just to have some fun!"

The two young men behind him started handing out red envelopes.

One of them is well-known: Jiang Shaoxu, the Forbidden City Goddess, daughter of Jiang Dajun, a high-class beauty with both looks and strength.

The green recruit who received the red envelope was so excited that his face turned bright red. He rubbed his hands vigorously on his clothes before trembling as he accepted it.

On the other side...

"This is Xu Fang?"
