The Favored Son of Heaven

Chapter 74: Big... Big... Big Sister.....

Translator: Strivon Editor: Strivon

“Sister-in-law?”

Qin Fen had encountered many bizarre things recently, so he thought he would no longer be shocked by anything Squad Leader Hao and the others would say. However, he never thought that he would suddenly have his biggest shock since entering the military.

A shy flush of red flashed across Phoenix’s face, something rarely seen, as she heard the word sister-in-law.

“It’s pretty much true.” Squad Leader Hao made a show of pondering as he thought aloud, “If your older brother had agreed to marry her on that day, then you would really need to open your mouth and call Phoenix sister-in-law.”

Not a hint of anger appeared on Phoenix’s face when she heard Squad Leader Hao mention about Qin Zhan agreeing to marry her on that day, instead a few fain streaks of sadness flashed in her eyes.

“So, Phoenix.” Squad Leader Hao patted Qin Fen on the shoulder, “What do you think? If Qin Zhan finds out that you crippled your brother-in-law....”

Phoenix’s expression turned even more gloomy. Aside from being a shocking and low-key super genius, Qin Zhan was a very very affectionate person.

Back then, the European recruits had come for an exchange, beating up them as recruits. It was Qin Zhan who had secretly met up with the European recruits at the beach and beat them to a pulp. The European recruits had come standing but left in stretchers.

The heroic image of Qin Zhan fighting that night as a prideful chosen of heaven still often appeared in Phoenix’s dreams to this day.

“You too, Qin Fen! How can you use such an underhanded and vile fighting style against your big sister-in-law? You’re still not apologizing to your sister-in-law?” Squad Leader Hao acted as the mediator. He was often a trouble maker, but he would never damage the sentiments between others from his trouble making.

He caused trouble for the sake of increasing affection between everyone. These were the words that Squad Leader Hao and the other people who Phoenix called scum shared between themselves.

Squad Leader Hao pushed Qin Fen in the back with his palm, pushing him in front of Phoenix, who also had a face full of embarrassment. Qin Fen had instinctively chose the best fighting style to fight back, but this had drawn him into such a situation.

Looking at Phoenix, who was just as embarrassed, Qin Fen gaped, “Big...Big....”

The words ‘big sister-in-law’... Qin Fen suddenly realized that they were extremely hard to say. Right when he was about to switch the way he was going to address her, he suddenly realized that the glow of extreme expectation flickered within the eyes of Phoenix’s embarrassed expression.

Qin Fen was far too familiar with such emotions. He too had the exact same expression as Phoenix every time he urgently wanted to obtain a job.

“Big sister-in-law.... I’m sorry.... My body reacted by instinct.”

His speech was bumpy. It felt even more tiresome than sprinting all out for ten-thousand meters. He secretly speculated to himself that his older brother should likely have married this Phoenix. Otherwise, what he just said would be a big misfortune.

“No...No problem! One should try to win in fighting. For the sake of winning, any means can be used.”

Phoenix suddenly became much more open and welcoming. Her happy expression flooded her cheeks and forehead.

The word ‘sister-in-law’ had not only blown away the bad feelings in Phoenix’s heart, it had caused her to feel an unprecedented sense of satisfaction. Qin Fen, who had been extremely unpleasing to the eye a moment ago, had suddenly changed to be incomparably pleasing to the eye. He was much more pleasing to the eye than the other scum in the room.

Qin Zhan had suddenly disappeared a few years ago. Not only did he not leave any promises or an engagement, there had been zero information about him in these years. Only Phoenix was clear on the emotions in her own heart.

Even though it was just a mention of ‘sister-in-law’, Phoenix felt a sense of satisfaction she never felt before. She was happy. She was delighted. It was a happiness far greater than completing any military mission no matter how difficult.

Gradually, Phoenix’s eyes, which carried a smile, became a bit moist. Though she was an expert of considerable strength, she was incapable of controlling her own tears. Yet she could rely on her steel-like willpower to forcefully control some of her emotions.

Phoenix was truly too happy today. Qin Zhan’s little brother had suddenly appeared, and he had called her sister-in-law.

“Whoa, is there something wrong with my vision? Phoenix’s eyes are red?” Squad Leader Hao still wanted to watch the whole world be in chaos. “The Iron Phoenix actually can cry.”

Squad Leader Hao was on alert as he said the words, ready to deal with whatever attack from Phoenix that his big mouth provoked.

Silence... silence... silence....

Phoenix went silent for several seconds, the tears in her eyes shimmered a few times before she laughed heartily as they flowed from her eyes.

Qin Fen was even more silent now. The emotions this woman ha dtoward his older brother were real, and they were very very deep. Just the mere mention of his name was enough to cause her to shed tears.

“Haha....” Phoenix didn’t wipe the tears from her eyes. Instead, she boldy and openly shed more tears. She placed her hands on her hips and puffed up chest, her two mounds worthy of pride, as she said, “This boss lady has cried! Don’t tell me it’s forbidden. This boss lady is still a woman. Crying isn’t shameful.”

Squad Leader Hao and the others were stupefied. The drill instructors looked back and forth at each other before ultimately lifting the corners of their lips into smiles.

That’s right! Phoenix was a woman! Even though she possessed a heroic passion grander than many men, even though she possessed a martial strength that many men didn’t possess, and even though she could complete missions that many men couldn’t complete, even though she never yelled in pain nor cried when getting hurt, she was still a woman.

“This damn military.”

Squad Leader Hao whispered this curse, and the others nodded, all feeling the same way. Phoenix was such a beautiful woman, yet her gender was completely ignored by everyone. Nothing could be the cause of this besides this damned military.

“So your name is Qin Fen? From henceforth, you will have a seventh drill instructor, and that drill instructor will be none other than I!” Phoenix didn’t even go ask for the six other drill instructor’s consent. She confidently smacked her chest and said, “Just tell your sister-in-law about whoever dares bully you in the military in the future,!”

With a vigor like that very much of an empress, Qin Fen suspected that his brother’s departure was from fear of this mountain empress’s personality.

“Phoenix, can you get to know the in-laws at a later time?” Squad Leader Hao spoke quietly to the side, “I’m still teaching.”

“You, teaching?” Phoenix studied Squad Leader Hao up and down, “Trickery?”

“Of course.” Squad Leader Hao was very calm. “When it comes to teaching Qin Fen, I need to bring out the best goods for him.”

“So y’all will teach him aerial combat? Killing people? Mobile armors? Firearms? Concealment and camouflage?” Phoenix pointed out the drill instructors one by one.

“Yeah. We’re teaching Qin Zhan’s little brother so that he’ll be able to beat his older brother. It looks good to our reputation as well.” Trash’s voice was especially resounding, causing the others to laugh and nod without end.

“That’s good. I’ll teach about tactical coordination in small teams.” Phoenix gave a sweeping glance at these people. “Nobody has any complaints, right?”

Squad Leader Hao gave a thumbs up, “Aside from against Qin Zhan, the teams you’ve led never seemed to have lost.”

“Who said that they never lost before?” Phoenix really didn’t like Squad Leader Hao’s boot-licking. “I lost to the American team in that recruit tournament. Of course, it wasn’t due to my tactics as commander being lacking. It was because a certain few people assigned with me were far too disappointing.”

“Oh~~”

The drill instructors looked at their fellow comrades. Their expressions clearly said that the people they looked at were none other than the people who Phoenix said were far too disappointing.
