Chapter 1280 - 464: Just Joking_5

"Great!"

"Finally, they arrived."

...

Xilo and the others exclaimed with joy after hearing the news.

Alicia hurriedly asked.

"Which unit has arrived as support?"

"It’s our Rain Capital."

The Order Officer replied excitedly.

"The units from our Rain Capital are reliable!"

Xilo and the others praised happily.

"Let’s go, welcome them!"

Alicia stood from her chair and said to everyone.

"Yes!"

Everyone followed and left.

...

Soon, City Lord Alicia led everyone to the waiting area of the Planet Fortress for docking.

Click!

The passageway gate opened.

Vice Admiral Grelli walked over with Timi, Dirken, Marina, and others.

"City Lord Alicia!"

Vice Admiral Grelli saluted Alicia excitedly and called out.

"General Grelli, thank you for your hard work. You finally arrived."

City Lord Alicia extended her hand for a handshake with Grelli and said with relief.

"I’m sorry, City Lord. Due to the ambush and interception by the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, we only managed to arrive now. However, we successfully brought a large amount of resources this time."

Grelli quickly explained.

"You did well. By the way, what about the Thirteenth Legion? Didn’t they come?"

Alicia glanced around but saw no sign of any officers from the Thirteenth Legion.

"The officers of the Thirteenth Legion, they led the fleet to draw away the main forces of the Heavenly Revelation Divine Country, which allowed us to break through."

"How are they doing now?"

"I’m not sure."

Grelli shook his head in response.

"I understand. You’ve had a tiring journey, so take a good rest first."

Upon hearing this, Alicia’s expression shifted and then she spoke to Grelli.

"Okay!"

Grelli nodded.

-------------------------------------

In the corridor of the Star Destroyer·Thunder Extreme.

Su Ming and Ferion, along with Jone, walked towards the command room.

"We truly owe it to you this time. Otherwise, we’d be in big trouble."

Ferion said with deep emotion.

"It was nothing, mainly because you were helpful too. If I had to handle Rain Capital alone, even the gods couldn’t help."

Su Ming replied with a smile.

"You’re too modest. By the way, Su Ming, can I ask you something?"

Ferion glanced around cautiously before speaking.

"Of course."

Su Ming answered cheerfully.

"Do you have a good relationship with Irelia? Why did you ask her to be the Commander?"

Ferion asked cautiously.

Seeing Ferion ask Su Ming this question, Jone also became tense.

Seeing Ferion probing him, Su Ming smiled and replied.

"How should I put it? I have known Senior Irelia for a while. During the Tri-school League, I greatly admired her command abilities. Later, we happened to meet in the Shabask Kingdom during the Star Storage event, and she was a big help. When I received your request for help this time, my captain had just left, so I asked Senior Irelia to assist."

"I see, I thought you two were very close."

Ferion and Jone both let out a sigh of relief.

At that moment, Irelia appeared around a corner behind Su Ming and the two, but upon seeing them chatting, she quietly withdrew.

When Su Ming saw Ferion and Jone relaxed, he smiled and said.

"Actually, I think Senior Irelia is great, she’s my type. I’m planning to pursue her."

"No way!"

Ferion and Jone’s eyes widened in surprise and exclaimed.

"Why not? Senior Irelia is talented, elegant, beautiful, and has a good personality. She’s perfect!"

Su Ming asked Ferion and Jone, puzzled.

Suppressing the turmoil within, Ferion spoke to Su Ming.

"Su Ming, listen to me, you two aren’t suitable."

"Yes, not suitable."

Jone agreed.

"What’s unsuitable?"

Su Ming asked in confusion.

"That Irelia looks like she’s at least thirty years older than you, she could practically be your mom!"

Ferion advised Su Ming.

"It doesn’t matter, I don’t care. Besides, isn’t there a saying, ’A woman three years older is like holding a gold brick; a woman thirty years older gives you the whole kingdom’?"

Su Ming replied nonchalantly.

"Oh, you just don’t get it, think about it! A woman that age who’s still unmarried probably has some mental issues."

Jone quickly added.

"Don’t talk nonsense, Senior Irelia is very nice."

Su Ming shook his head in response.

Ferion, seeing that Su Ming was unmoved, quickly continued to persuade him.

"Su Ming, we’re doing this for your own good, don’t be fooled by appearances. Older women often have strange personalities. You should find someone closer in age, you’ll get along better."

"Wait, you guys are being weird! Am I the one looking for a partner, or are you? It’s enough that I like her."

Su Ming replied, holding back a smile.

"Hey, why are you so stubborn and not listening to advice? We’re doing this for your good! Older single women are trouble, they’re toxic..."

Ferion and Jone were getting anxious.

"Ahem!"

At this moment, a cold cough sounded from behind.

Their hearts skipped a beat, their bodies shivered, and they turned around in fear.

They saw Irelia standing expressionlessly behind them.

At that moment, Ferion and Jone felt like they were dead inside and stammered,

"Miss Irelia."

By then, they had cursed Su Ming in their minds countless times, blaming him for this mess.

Su Ming, too, awkwardly greeted,

"Senior, you’re here too."

"Yes, I came to find you. General Ferion, would you mind if I have a word with Officer Su Ming?"

Irelia asked calmly.

"No problem!"

Ferion and Jone immediately made a hasty exit.

"What’s with those two today? Acting all strange."

Su Ming said with an awkward laugh.

"I don’t know, maybe they’ve been under a lot of stress lately."

Irelia replied indifferently.

"I think so too."

Su Ming nodded with a smile.

"By the way, Officer Su Ming, your command this time was impressive, did you study commanding before?"

Irelia looked towards Su Ming, her eyes slightly moving.

"Actually... I learned from our Legion Commander."

Su Ming’s eyes twinkled as he said with a smile.

"Your Legion Commander?"

Irelia was slightly taken aback.

"Yes, our Legion Commander is incredible, always strategizing and achieving victory from miles away. I’ve only learned a little bit of it."

Su Ming praised lavishly in front of Irelia.

"I see, by the way, you won the bet this time, what would you like me to do?"

Irelia asked with a smile.

"I still want you to be my captain, Senior."

Su Ming pondered for a moment before speaking.

"Sorry, that’s not possible! I’m really too busy."

Irelia shook her head in response.

"Then forget it, you don’t have to do anything."

"No, choose something else."

"How about you give me a kiss instead."

Su Ming said with a mischievous grin.

Upon hearing Su Ming’s words, Irelia’s face immediately darkened.

Seeing this, Su Ming’s smile froze, and he hurriedly explained,

"I was just joking."

At that moment, Irelia suddenly took a step forward, a faint scent of daisies wafted over.

Su Ming was slightly startled, and before he could react, Irelia gently kissed his cheek.

Instantly, Su Ming felt like he was electrocuted, his heart stirred, and he looked at Irelia in shock.

Irelia stepped back, her purple eyes slightly moving as she said,

"Officer Su Ming, the bet is fulfilled."

"Okay...."

Su Ming replied, his face slightly flushed, feeling a bit flustered.

"Also, Officer Su Ming, we will soon arrive at the Tidal Star Sea, please prepare yourself, I must go now."

After Irelia finished speaking, she turned and left.

Su Ming watched Irelia’s departing figure, raising his hand to touch his cheek, his fingertips feeling a trace of moisture.

For a moment, Su Ming felt dazed.
