Chapter 951 I'm sorry!

Liu Furong gave a bitter smile at Aunt Liu who still seemed confused. He told her the truth about him impersonating as Liu Zhongguo.

Ling Lan tapped the handle of her chair with her fingers. Liu Furong finished what he wanted to say and waited agitatedly for his final judgement.

Ling Lan turned and looked at Aunt Liu who seemed shocked by what Liu Furong said. She said gently, "Aunt Liu, what do you think?" The one who was fooled was Aunt Liu. She needed to listen to her opinion on the matter too.

Aunt Liu looked at Liu Furong with a complicated expression. She never expected him to be a fake Liu Zhongguo. The real Liu Zhongguo had died long ago. She thought back about the hardship she had suffered and didn't know what to do too.

Hence, when she heard Ling Lan's voice, she looked at her pleadingly. Ling Lan's gentle gaze calmed her heart.

'How could I just my hardships go to waste?' Aunt Liu cried and smiled at the same time. "Regiment commander, I'll listen to you."

She couldn't bear to hate this man but she didn't want to forgive him so easily too. Since she couldn't do anything to him, it's better for her to pass him to the young man who could control everything.

Ling Lan stood up when she heard this. She looked at Liu Furong coldly and slowly held her hands together. Her knuckles cracked. Liu Furong felt his heart pounding when he heard those sounds.

'Is he going to die?' He suddenly missed the other team leaders. If they were here, they would definitely plead for him and ask their regiment commander to punish him lightly.

Bang! Ling Lan pressed Liu Furong on the ground with her palm.

"Leader Liu, I hate lies. Yet, you lied to such a good lady..." Ling Lan's cold voice appeared beside Liu Furong's ears. It sounded like a voice from hell. Ling Lan was really angry.

"I'm sorry, regiment commander." Liu Furong bore with the pain from the huge pressure and forced the words out of his mouth.

Bang! Ling Lan used her force of presence to slam Liu Furong onto the ground again. "You shouldn't apologize to me."

"Cough!" Liu Furong coughed out a mouthful of blood. The force of presence of a domain realm master was not something a Qi-Jin master like him could bear with.

Liu Furong looked up into Aunt Liu's eyes and spoke with much effort. "I'm sorry, Ah Yun. I lied to you. Please forgive me."

Little Aihua cried when she saw her father being beaten by Brother Jiang Hui until he vomited blood. She wanted to ask her Brother Jiang Hui to let her father off, but before she could plead Ling Lan, Aunt Liu hugged her.

Aunt Liu had tears in her eyes. Her heart ached when she saw Liu Furong injured but she knew that Ling Lan punished him for her sake. How could she waste his effort because of her soft-heartedness? She was not an innocent girl who didn't know what was happening anymore.

Ling Lan looked at Aunt Liu in admiration. No wonder she was able to raise two good and righteous children all alone. This woman had her own opinions and morals. Her heart wouldn't waver just because of a few words. It was just like how she didn't interfere with her punishment after she decided to let Ling Lan handle it.

Ling Lan started to admire this lady even more. No wonder Little Aijun and Little Aihua were so obedient and thoughtful.

However, the greater her admiration for Aunt Liu, the greater her rage towards Liu Furong. The bandages on her wrist suddenly loosen apart and tied Liu Furong up.

"Aunt Liu, don't worry. I'll give you an answer." Ling Lan disappeared from the room along with Liu Furong

Wang Baozhuang turned to Aunt Liu and asked with a pale face, "Is this fine?" He was really scared by Ling Lan's dominating aura and vicious methods. He didn't dare to say anything in her presence. After she left, he felt the pressure on his body disappearing.

"What's wrong with it?" Aunt Liu replied calmly. That bastard would not bully them only if he knew how painful the consequences would be.

From Liu Furong's statement, Aunt Liu knew Liu Furong was not Liu Zhongguo. He was not someone who had nothing. He had the capabilities and the merits of a high achieving soldier. He was a perfect man in every aspect. If he didn't come to Planet Muyang to protect Wang Qi, she wouldn't have the chance to marry him.

When she was young, she dreamt about meeting her prince charming. However, now, Aunt Liu recognize the reality of her situation. Without a matching status and identity, she wouldn't be able to protect her marriage and her children. She needed to find someone whom the man was afraid of as her backing. Without a doubt, Ling Lan was the best option for that role.

After becoming a mother, Aunt Liu didn't have fantasies of a young girl anymore. Instead, she became more decisive and knew what was best for her and her children.

Wang Baozhuang suddenly understood what she meant. He gasped. In the past, Liu Furong chose to marry Aunt Liu because she was gentle, virtuous and obedient. Well, she was indeed gentle and virtuous but she wasn't an obedient lady anymore. When she was angry, she was even fiercer than all those dominating ladies out there.

Wang Baozhuang silently groaned for Liu Furong. He could almost see how Liu Furong would obey his wife in the future. Fortunately, he was smart in the past, so he didn't find a wife. Hence, he didn't need to suffer like him.

As Ling Lan stepped into the first secret room, the scent of blood wafted into her face. She walked inside and saw Yi Hao's corpse on the ground with blood splattered all over the ground.

She frowned in disdain. She flicked her finger and the entire room turned into ice. She flicked her finger again and all the ice turned into dust, making the room look as if nothing had happened in there.

"Leader Liu, you have only one chance. You decided on your own life or death." Ling Lan moved her arm and the bandages unwrapped itself from Liu Furong's body. Liu Furong was then thrown into the middle of the room.

Liu Furong landed on the ground firmly. He wiped the drip of blood on the corner of his mouth. He didn't understand what Ling Lan meant.

"Your enemy has complete control of the entire 3rd Division. Even if it's not the Third Marshal, it must be someone beside him who holds real power." Ling Lan raised her right hand and the bandage rolled back on her wrist. "You are currently not strong enough to resist against such a person. In front of him, you can only die. What happened today is an instance of that. If I didn't come here coincidentally, you would be dead."

Liu Furong nodded. His regiment commander was right.

"I don't want to watch you die..." Killing intent appeared in Ling Lan's eyes. "I don't allow my men to die in the hands of other people. If that has to happen, I rather kill you myself."

"You have been at the optimal peak of Qi-Jin for more than ten years now. If you can't find an opportunity to break through now, you'll die. I'll take care of Aunt Liu and your children for you if that happens." Ling Lan calmly told Liu Furong that she would take care of his family after he died.

After she finished speaking, an intense blood aura exuded out from Ling Lan's body. This blood aura was almost black in color. Ever since Ling Lan came back from the battlefield, her devil blood aura reached new heights.

n came

This frightening devil blood aura caused Liu Furong to take three steps back. He could clearly feel that his regiment commander wanted to kill him. He wasn't lying.

chapter 952 Dead?

If she had a choice, Ling Lan didn't want to use this method to help Liu Furong advance. That year, when she helped Qiao Ting to advance to the domain stage, she realized the pros and cons of using this method. The domain gained through this method was not as perfect as naturally gaining it. If the foundation of the said person was not strong enough, he would remain in the pseudo domain stage for a long time.

However, based on the current situation, Liu Furong couldn't remain at the optimal peak of Qi-Jin anymore. He needed to advance to the domain stage within the shortest possible time. That was the only way he could win against his opponents.

An overwhelming force of presence engulfed Liu Furong in his entirety. He was unable to breathe properly anymore. Liu Furong realized that compared to the force of presence he was experiencing now, the force of presence his regiment commander released during training was nothing. Once his regiment commander decided to be serious, Liu Furong felt as though there was a mountain pushing his body down. The fresh blood in his body felt as though they would seep out of his pores in the next moment.

After enduring for a few seconds, he was unable to handle the force of presence and vomited a mouthful of blood. He had tried to use all his Qi-Jin to resist the pressure but that didn't last long.

"So quickly?" Ling Lan's cold voice sounded beside him. "Not enough!"

A force of presence that was even greater than before pushed Liu Furong down. Liu Furong felt that his legs were unable to withstand the force anymore, The moment he kneeled down, the fighting spirit in his heart exploded.

"Ah!" Liu Furong shouted as he raised his head in pain. His shivering legs turned firm again as he stood up.

"Not bad!" Ling Lan was satisfied. This was the fighting spirit someone from the Seven Stars of the North should have. However, she didn't loosen her grip on him. She continued giving Liu Furong even more pressure.

The result of bearing with a pressure above the limit of your body was a heavy injury. Liu Furong started vomiting blood again. Blood flowed out from every orifice. After some time, his entire body was drenched with blood.

Now, Liu Furong had entered a life-or-death moment. If he couldn't break through now, he would collapse under the force of presence and die from the loss of blood. Only a breakthrough would save him.

'Should I do this?' A tinge of hesitation flashed passed Ling Lan's eyes. However, she became firm again. She knew that if Liu Furong couldn't advance to the domain stage, he wouldn't be able to escape the fate of death unless he stayed beside her all the time. But, based on Liu Furong's personality, he would not live as a coward. He would rather die spectacularly than to live under her wing like a baby bird.

'Since he will die anyway, why not take a gamble. One side is heaven while the other is hell. It all depends on what he chooses.'

Ling Lan's gaze turned cold. The pressure around Liu Furong increased again. Although Ling Lan was not a cold blooded and merciless person like what she portrayed to be, she was still a decisive person. Once she made a decision, she would do it heartlessly. Just like now, she knew that Liu Furong would die if she exerted more pressure but she still did it.

Liu Furong felt that he was about to die. He could see the blood spurting out of his body... his regiment commander retracted his force of presence. Without the huge pressure, his body, which was still bleeding, collapsed on the floor.

He looked at his regiment commander's eyes. There was disappointment in it. He was disappointed that he didn't achieve a breakthrough and choose to die instead.

If he had a choice, he didn't want to die. However, he really didn't know what his domain was. He couldn't find it. He had no hopes of succeeding.

Liu Furong knew that he had failed. However, he was not angry, He just felt pity that he wasn't able to find the person who caused the annihilation of the Magic Ace Mecha Clan. He wasn't able to wash the crimes and humiliation of his past mecha clan. He couldn't allow his dead comrades get the honor they should have gained.

Suddenly, he heard the chanting from the sky. He looked up and saw a golden light piercing in the sky above him. He saw many familiar faces in the golden light. His regiment commander, Wang Junan, the other team leaders, and the members of his team were looking down on him and smiling.

"Regiment commander, brothers-in-arms, members, are you all here to fetch me?" That year, when his brother-in-arms died one by one before him, he forced his tears back. Now, his tears flowed down his face freely. "I miss you all."

Liu Furong tried his best to fly up so that he could get nearer to them. However, no matter how hard he tried, he was unable to reach them.

Wang Junan shook his head when he saw Liu Furong doing futile work. "Furong, this is not where you should be."

"Why? Aren't I dead?" Liu Furong asked agitatedly. He couldn't stay with his brother-in-arms even when he was dead?

"No, you still have unfinished business to do. Just like what you thought, you still haven't found our enemy and cleared the name of our mecha clan yet. You haven't helped us regain our honor yet. How could you die so quickly when you haven't achieved any of these?" Wang Junan smiled. "Furong, live for our sake."

"But I failed. I died too." Liu Furong lost control of his emotions as he shouted. "Why do you all have to force me? Why must you throw everything to me and let me fight alone? I'm tired." This blood debt followed him for 15 years. He also had to hide the item that was powerful enough to shake the Federation. Liu Furong felt that he had enough of this life.

"Furong, I passed the mission to you at that time because you were the calmest among us and you had the best patience. Everyone trusted you." Wang Junan smiled. "You are never alone. We have always been beside you. You just have never realized it."

"Now, we are able to communicate with you with the help of your new regiment commander. Furong, feel the strength everyone is giving you. This is your strength too." Wang Junan reached out his hand. In the golden light, everyone from the Magic Ace Mecha Clan reached out their hands.

A glaring golden light shone down from the sky, enveloping Liu Furong in a golden sheen. Liu Furong could feel warmth everywhere. A vital spirit seemed to be rushing into his body and his transparent body started turning opaque.

"Furong, look at your heart." Wang Junan's voice sounded beside Liu Furong. He lowered his head and looked at the position where his heart was supposed to be. He saw an object that looked like an egg or a walnut.

Chapter 953 Seed!

"What is this?" Liu Furong was puzzled.

"It's the source of your energy. At the same time, it's a seed too," Wang Junan replied.

"Seed? What seed?" Liu Furong continued asking. This time, Wang Junan didn't reply to him. He just smiled.

"You can't say it?" Liu Furong seemed to understand.

"The emotions in your heart will become its soil and fertilizer. What kind of flower or fruit it will bloom into depends on your decision." Wang Junan couldn't bear to see Liu Furong being confused so he added on. "Feel your heart carefully and you'll know what your seed is. Once it sprouts, your domain will come to you naturally. Furong, all the best!"

"Leader Liu, all the best!"

"Leader, all the best!"

His brother-in-arms cheered him on. Their voices filled the entire sky. Liu Furong was touched once again. He cried.

Amidst the sound of the cheers, the golden light in the sky slowly disappeared. Wang Junan and his brother-in-arms faded away. Liu Furong wanted to hold them back but he couldn't do anything.

Even though the people from the Magic Ace Mecha Clan were gone, Liu Furong still felt the seed at his heart's position. It was sucking in nutrients from somewhere. His brother-in-arms didn't disappear. They were always beside him. He just couldn't see them.

"Thank you for giving me strength." Liu Furong raised his transparent right hand and placed it above the seed. He closed his eyes and felt the seed carefully.

His sorrow, anger, frustration, happiness, and longing for his brother-in-arms from the Magic Ace Mecha Clan were all inside the seed. He could see the memories when he was reborn in 250 Ace Mecha Clan too. The friendship with his brother-in-arms from the Magic Ace Mecha Clan and the strong bond between his comrades from 250 Ace Mecha Clan were all inside.

This was the brotherhood that he treasured.

When Liu Furong thought about brotherhood, the seed sprouted. Two soft but strong leaves appeared.

Ling Lan thought that Liu Furong had failed. He laid on the ground motionless and his breathing was getting fainter. The beating of his heart was slowing down too. It felt as though his heart would stop beating at any moment.

Ling Lan was in sorrow. In the end, she lost the gamble. She clenched her fist tightly. Her nails dug into the skin of her palm and blood flowed down her hand. It dripped on the ground.

She never regretted her decisions but that didn't mean that she had no emotions. It wasn't a good feeling to kill your own friend. Ling Lan didn't know if she would have the courage to do it again. She waited silently for the worst result. Suddenly, she raised her head with a dumbstruck expression. She was elated.

Liu Furong's heart started pounding energetically again. Ling Lan could even feel a strong life force coming from Liu Furong's body.

"Domain!" Only domain could bring a new life. This was why Liu Furong managed to stay alive. In the end, Liu Furong still won against himself and found his domain.

In the next second, multiple young shoots that represented a new life engulfed Liu Furong's body. The bloody person a moment ago turned into a green man in an instant.

These young seedlings didn't harm Liu Furong's body. Instead, they sucked the energy around him and used it to repair his injured body.

Liu Furong could finally feel his body. The excruciating pain almost caused him to cry in pain. He controlled his mouth in time but his body still trembled due to the tremendous pain.

"Congratulations, Leader Liu." He heard Ling Lan's voice. He couldn't detect any changes in Ling Lan's voice. He sounded as though there was nothing to be excited about when he came back alive.

'Regiment commander, I came back from the gates of hell. Shouldn't you at least show some concern?' Liu Furong complained secretly. He had almost died in his hand. Shouldn't he express some care towards him? Shouldn't he sound happy?

Liu Furong started to compare Ling Lan with his past regiment commander. He realized that this commander was not bad actually. He wouldn't die if he listened to his instructions.

Liu Furong was speechless. Am I a masochist? I almost died by his hands but I still think that he is not bad?!

Ling Lan didn't know what Liu Furong was thinking. She saw Liu Furong lying on the ground motionless and frowned. 'Did I hurt him so badly that the new life he received when he achieved domain was not enough to recuperate his body?'

"You can't stand up? Do you need me to help?" Ling Lan sounded out her concern for Liu Furoing, but with the help of her indifferent tone, it sounded like a threat to Liu Furong.

The vicious and heartless regiment commander said that he wanted to help you? Well, if you believe him, you're an idiot. This was definitely a threat. What he meant was, if you don't get up now, I'll torture you.

Liu Furong shuddered and quickly sprung up from the ground.

Ling Lan looked at the branches that helped Liu Furong to get up."Wood element?" She didn't expect Liu Furong to have the wood element.

"It should be a part of the wood element but it's
