Chapter 108: Chapter 91: Yu Lan Spoiling Things?
"You!"
Jun Lin Yuan’s eyes widened in shock. He never would have imagined that this female—who looked so pretty, so obviously soft and kind—could utter such a threat.
’How naive... It makes me want to bite down hard on her, to leave my mark.’
’Yu Lan is still too naive, thinking I’m just playing games.’
’In reality, the wolves are dying for a chance to get tangled up with her.’
’We’re not afraid of her engaging with us. What we’re afraid of is her being cold as ice, with all her attention on Huo Zhanting and his men, completely ignoring the gazes from other males.’
Jun Lin Yuan gave a wicked smile.
As if her threat had made him laugh in anger, he suddenly reached out. Ignoring the furious glares from Huo Zhanting and his men, he pulled the beautiful female into his arms.
Yu Lan’s pretty face slammed into the man’s hard, solid chest from the sudden movement. Her small hands landed right on Jun Lin Yuan’s chiseled, powerful abs.
The man leaned down, his face close to her ear. She felt his hot breath on her tender, jade-white earlobe as he watched it slowly turn red. Then, his voice, dripping with a wicked, untamed arrogance and a hint of threat, whispered.
"Then you’d better not regret this."
’Regret it?’
’How could I possibly regret this?’
’I’d only regret it if I saw the people of Garbage Star suffering from this plague and did nothing.’
’Joining Jun Lin Yuan’s squad now is a complete win-win.’
’Jun Lin Yuan will lead his special ops team to victory, and the medicinal herbs on the Emerald Planet are exactly what I need to cure the plague.’
’It couldn’t be a more perfect situation.’
At that thought, Yu Lan looked up from Jun Lin Yuan’s embrace. The sunlight fell on her fair, pretty face, outlining it in a faint golden halo. Her amber eyes were crystal clear and dazzlingly bright.
Jun Lin Yuan heard Yu Lan’s voice.
"I won’t regret it."
Her voice was bright and full of joy, like little sprites dancing on air.
An almost imperceptible POUND, POUND, POUND echoed in his chest as his heart suddenly beat a little faster.
Jun Lin Yuan turned his face away and snorted coldly.
"I hope you can still talk so tough when you get to the league tournament. There won’t be any room for regrets then."
Once you entered the league tournament, you either waited for the final victor to emerge, or you died.
With a planet’s interests on the line, there were no deserters.
Yu Lan was completely unaware of this. She just stared at Jun Lin Yuan with her beautiful eyes, having no idea what she would face in the future.
Jun Lin Yuan, however, had already made a silent vow to protect her.
His dark brows rose slightly, his molten gold eyes bright and filled with a wild arrogance. He placed a large, strong hand on Yu Lan’s shoulder and pulled her closer to his side.
Then he raised his other hand in front of Yu Lan. On his wrist was a high-tech watch. He tapped it, and in the next second, Yu Lan’s information appeared on its screen.
Jun Lin Yuan waved the submission interface in front of Yu Lan, but the young male gave her no chance to back out, quickly tapping to submit the application.
He then raised an eyebrow at the beautiful female, tilting his handsome face slightly toward where his special ops team members were standing.
"Join the team, Doctor Yu Lan."
"From now on, you’re going to learn what it means to follow orders."
In a special ops team, the captain’s order was absolute.
Since Yu Lan had joined the special ops team, she naturally had to obey orders.
But whether Jun Lin Yuan would mix his personal motives into those orders was another matter entirely.
As Yu Lan walked toward the special ops team, her back to them, Jun Lin Yuan cast a brazenly provocative and wicked grin at Huo Zhanting and his men, mouthing a silent, possessive claim: *She’s mine now.*
What kind of fool would just stand by and watch the female he likes spend time with other outstanding males?
Jun Lin Yuan couldn’t understand what Huo Zhanting and his men were thinking.
But that didn’t stop him from seizing the opportunity to move in while they were vulnerable.
When an opportunity presents itself, a single male naturally has to latch on like a wolf and never let go.
Any real man would find such a provocation intolerable.
The young and hot-headed Su Xingye was the first to snap. He swung his fist and charged at Jun Lin Yuan.
A smirk playing on his lips, Jun Lin Yuan stood his ground without flinching. His mouth opened slightly, anticipating Su Xingye’s punch so he could immediately run to Yu Lan and have her mediate.
’To think a male could be so devious.’
Even without being clear about his own feelings, Jun Lin Yuan, relying on his beast-like intuition, had subconsciously begun to target his various love rivals.
Of course, his scheme didn’t succeed.
Su Xingye’s attack was stopped by Shen Zueran.
Even though a part of Shen Zueran wanted to see Su Xingye mess up, the four of them were a unit now. They had to stand together to resist the advances of other males.
"Su Xingye, calm down! Don’t fall for his trick."
"Don’t forget why Lanlan is participating in the military league."
No one understood better than them just how soft and kind-hearted Yu Lan truly was.
She was so dazzling, so brilliant, it made you want to hide her away for yourself.
But they couldn’t.
They could only watch as the beautiful female’s radiance shone equally upon every Star Citizen.
But at the same time, they knew deep down that they were different from those ordinary Star Citizens.
They were Yu Lan’s males, the ones who would walk hand-in-hand with her for the rest of their lives.
Naturally, they had to follow her lead, respect all her decisions, and offer their full support.
Shen Zueran’s words struck Su Xingye like a heavy hammer. His deep, emerald-like eyes turned red, filled with deep unease and reluctance.
But when he saw Yu Lan in the distance, craning her neck to look at them with worry, Su Xingye instantly reined in his aggressive aura.
He gave Yu Lan a reassuring wave, then turned back to Jun Lin Yuan. He grit his teeth viciously, his jaw clenched so tight the words escaped from between them.
"Please take good care of her."
"I’d be deeply grateful."
"Naturally."
’It was rare to see Su Xingye and his group on the losing end,’ Jun Lin Yuan mused. ’To think that these men, prodigies of the Empire on the same level as myself, would one day end up like this over a single female.’
Jun Lin Yuan felt a mix of bewilderment and a thrill he couldn’t quite explain.
「Meanwhile」
The news that Yu Lan had joined the Empire’s special ops team and would be heading to the military league swept through all the participating teams like a hurricane.
"What? Princess Yu Lan is competing too?"
"Isn’t she a female? And I heard she doesn’t have any Healing Power, so..."
"Of course, of course, I don’t mean to look down on Princess Yu Lan. I’m incredibly grateful that she invented the Hope Potion, but it’s also a fact that Princess Yu Lan has no Healing Power."
"She can’t soothe a male’s volatile spiritual power, and she’s physically delicate. Having her on the battlefield will only cause problems, right?"
