Chapter 273: Chapter 233: The Takeoff Begins, Frying Hair First
When Gao Xiaomeng woke up, she wasn’t frightened or flustered at all. Instead, she leaned lazily against the headboard, staring at Gao Neng with her deep blue eyes.
This actually made Gao Neng feel like he was in the presence of a Queen.
"This Queen is hungry." Those were the first words out of Gao Xiaomeng’s mouth.
"Then I’ll make you something to eat?" Gao Neng was completely unfazed.
"Mhm, go easy on the spice. This Queen has just recovered and should avoid meat and greasy foods." Gao Xiaomeng nodded.
"Alright."
"Do you have any women’s clothing?"
"As a matter of fact, I do. But don’t you think you should explain how you can turn into a human?" Gao Neng retrieved a long dress belonging to the Seventh Princess, Wu Dingxiang, from his Spatial Ring and tossed it to her.
"You’ve already seen everything there is to see, what’s left to explain?" Gao Xiaomeng blinked, then proceeded to strip off the military uniform she was wearing completely.
"..." Gao Neng stared at Gao Xiaomeng’s flawless, jade-like body.
’Hmm, she’s got a point!’
’He really had seen her completely naked. But that wasn’t the point. The point was, this Gao Xiaomeng seemed to be getting a little too full of herself, didn’t she?’
’Does she really think she can do whatever she wants just because she saved my life?’
’Forget it!’
’I’ll deal with this later.’
In the end, Gao Neng didn’t press the matter. Gao Xiaomeng had plenty of secrets, but he knew he couldn’t get them out of her, so he decided not to ask.
He went into the kitchen to start preparing food. Then, he heard a RRRIP sound. Turning his head, he saw that Gao Xiaomeng had torn the Seventh Princess’s long dress into a miniskirt.
She really was getting cocky.
Gao Neng clenched his fists. ’Gao Xiaomeng should still be in a weakened state right now, right?’
’Should I take this chance to give her a good thrashing?’
’I’ve always heard that with creatures like cats, the more you hit them, the more obedient they become.’
Of course, it was just a thought. Never mind that Gao Xiaomeng was no ordinary cat; he would have found it hard to lay a hand on her even if she were.
’A pet is a pet... and pets are meant to be pampered!’
He made a bowl of congee, prepared two light side dishes, and fried three eggs. The young Miss Gao Xiaomeng declared the meal to be quite satisfactory.
When Gao Xiaomeng finished eating, Gao Neng stretched.
’He’d been cooped up in his room for three days. It was about time he went out and reasserted his dominance.’
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"Gao Neng, I, Death God Fang Tangtang, have come to bring you food again! Open the door!" Fang Tangtang’s brazen voice quickly carried in from outside.
"Meow..." Gao Xiaomeng let out a lazy meow and leaped onto the bed. The miniskirt slipped off, and she transformed back into a silver cat.
’So, what was the point of her wearing clothes just now?’
Gao Neng didn’t dwell on it and opened the door.
It wasn’t just Fang Tangtang at the door; Kong Kun and Feng Qingqing were there as well.
"Come in." After glancing at the dishes Fang Tangtang was carrying, Gao Neng thought for a moment before letting them in. He wanted to ask what had been going on for the past few days.
"Huh? You’re not being a recluse anymore?" Fang Tangtang froze for a second, then walked inside.
Kong Kun and Feng Qingqing exchanged a look and followed Fang Tangtang into the room. In a single glance, all three of them spotted Gao Xiaomeng on the bed.
"Wow, Gao Xiaomeng, you really came back on your own?" Fang Tangtang’s face lit up. She was about to rush over for a hug when she noticed the women’s clothing on the bed...
What’s more, the clothes had obviously been torn.
Kong Kun and Feng Qingqing noticed the clothes at that moment as well.
The expressions on all three of their faces instantly turned bizarre. Having women’s clothing around was one thing, but to enjoy tearing it up? That special hobby... was a little too kinky.
"Gao Neng, I never thought you had a hobby like this! Be honest... did you secretly steal the panties I lost a couple of days ago?" Fang Tangtang asked with a dead-serious expression.
"Get lost!" Gao Neng was furious.
’What the hell? How is this a hobby?’
’And now you’re accusing me of stealing your panties?’
’As if I’d ever stoop to stealing your panties!’
"Just as I thought, you won’t admit it. And you get angry so easily. This must be a sore spot for you, huh? Mmm, I understand!" Fang Tangtang nodded thoughtfully.
"Mhm, mhm," Kong Kun nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Feng Qingqing was staring intently at Gao Neng. After a moment of thought, she couldn’t resist adding, "I lost a pair of stockings a couple of days ago..."
"Will you people ever stop?! This came with the stuff we took when we robbed the Seventh Princess! The sun was out, so I took it out to air!" Gao Neng said through gritted teeth.
"Oh, so you still haven’t thrown out the clothes from when you robbed the Seventh Princess days ago... I guess that means they’re still ’authentic,’ huh?" Fang Tangtang said, as if suddenly enlightened.
"Mhm, mhm, he didn’t throw them out!" Kong Kun’s head bobbed up and down like a chicken pecking at grain.
"Gao Neng, you have to stop stealing!" Feng Qingqing said, her tone uncharacteristically serious. After all, she had been quite fond of that pair of stockings.
"You guys are having fun, aren’t you?" Gao Neng’s eyes narrowed.
"I think it’s hilarious. Kong Kun, Qingqing, what do you two think?" Fang Tangtang turned to look at Kong Kun and Feng Qingqing.
"It is pretty fun."
"Heh heh."
Both Kong Kun and Feng Qingqing chuckled.
"Hahaha..." Fang Tangtang burst out laughing. It was an unbridled, wild laugh, making her rock back and forth. She was on the verge of clutching her stomach and jumping onto the table.
In the three or four days since returning to the Eastern Capital Military Academy, she had been riding a wave of success, leaping from the Tier Two Late Stage all the way to the Tier Four Early Stage.
It was a meteoric rise in power.
Fang Tangtang had truly let it all go to her head.
Because in the past few days, she hadn’t just basked in the countless envious gazes of Kong Kun and Feng Qingqing; she had also made a brazen splash on the Eastern Capital Military Academy’s combat rankings.
That’s right!
As the vice-captain of the Invincible Team, Fang Tangtang had, without Gao Neng’s permission, led Kong Kun and Feng Qingqing to take first place on the C-List of the combat rankings with a squad of just three people.
