Ace Of Terrans

Shi Lang bought the two back home, and spend the night with his parents. Charlotte Knight accepted Shi Tao a little after he left, so she was also invited over. After the dinner, the lady decided to talk to Shi Lang about this memo passed down by the general council.

She was still curious about the details of the proposal that could shake the federal government and the military to this extent. Shi Lang could sense her restlessness, and invited her to the garden outside the house. He did not want his parents to hear all this.

The two people stood next to each other as they watched the sky filled with stars, and Charlotte asked, "Can you tell me why you wish to do it?"

Shi Lang replied, "To achieve the dream of every cultivator."

Charlotte asked, "What do you mean?"

The young man cast her a glance and asked, "What do you cultivate for?"

Charlotte was taken aback, and said in a low voice, "To become stronger?"

"What is the purpose of strength?", asked Shi Lang.

This time the lady was left speechless. Shi Lang did not make fun of her more, and said, "You might be thinking why am I asking you all these superficial questions, however, let me tell you something, when you reach the peak of the world, these superficial things become the reality.

If you do not know what is the purpose of your strength, then what is the use of chasing after it?"

Charlotte asked back with a faint smile, "What is the purpose of your strength?"

Shi Lang replied calmly, "I wish to be strong to protect my family, and my friends, take them around to wander the realms without fear. I wish to see the wonders of the world."

Charlotte was surprised and said, "Do you really mean it when you say that there is a realm other than this?"

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yes, there is a realm, during my speech that day, I did not use the real name for it, but this realm is called the Immortal Realm. It is said to be filled with wonders beyond imagination. The peak experts in our eyes are nothing worth mentioning there. I wonder about the day when I can take my people along with me."

Charlotte looked at the young man, as he was speaking, his eyes were brimming with a longing that she has never seen before. It was as if this realm of immortals was his only pursuit at this moment. How was she to know, that Shi Lang had been pursuing and running after this realm for two lifetimes?

If he was selfish, then he might have entered the realm of immortals eons ago at the cost of the entire planet. Charlotte sighed and said, "You better not screw this up, young man."

Shi Lang nodded and saw her off. He did not return inside the house until Amelia came and hugged him from behind.

…

Amelia was snuggling in his arms later at night, and the young man was staring at the ceiling. The young lady looked up at his face and asked, "What is it?"

Shi Lang looked at her faintly blushing face, coiled his arms around her, and said, "I was just wondering, when did you become so bold to take the initiative."

The next moment, he sensed some pain coming from his neck, his wife had bitten him in embarrassment. Shi Lang smiled and said, "I will get a mark."

Amelia snorted and said, "You deserve it."

Shi Lang said, "Are you sure that you want the ace division to see it?"

Amelia looked at him with her eyes wide open, and before she could say anything, the man kissed her lips ever so gently. The kiss deepened and the fire of passion raged inside the room, sometimes gentle and sometimes hard. Both the people found the warmth they had been longing for in the past few days.

The distance between them always made their relationship stronger. The night passed and the two woke up with radiant faces. Shi Lang had finished taking shower and was putting up his shirt as he said, "Amy, I will be heading to meet with Crystal and then take them to the vacant side of the war planet. That is where I plan to set up the greater teleportation array."

Amelia nodded and said, "Fine, I understand, but be mindful that you do not ignore Tao in your work. She has been missing you a lot."

Shi Lang nodded with a smile and said, "Do not worry, I know what to do."

After dressing up he left the room, and made his way to the dining room, his mother was cooking breakfast in the kitchen while his father was reading some news on the holocomp. Shi John said, "Lang, do you think I should invest in these alternative companies?"

Shi Lang asked, "Which company do you mean?"

He was confused, and Shi John said, "Oh, I am talking about these alternatives or supporting cultivator companies. The arrays and the runes people. They are rising stably."

Shi Lang understood and said, "There will be a big change in the next forty-eight hours, so place a small amount do not try to make it big, we will be screwed over by those market investigators for insider trading."

Shi John was surprised but then he nodded. The two were talking when Shi Tao walked out of her room wearing a black shirt and blue jeans. The combination was matching Shi Lang's attire.

The young man smiled at her and then beckoned her to his side. The girl hopped over with a sweet smile and Shi Lang said while helping her tie a ponytail, "We will go to war planet, okay, you will see the real military facility, so be very disciplined, and follow by my side. Okay?"

Shi Tao nodded, and Shi John was surprised, he wanted to stop the young man when Shi Lang replied, "You two have spoiled her a bit too much. Also, this is an educational trip. I was not asking for permission."

The voice echoed in the minds of the two old people. Soon, Luna came over with three plates of egg omelet and toast. Amelia came down and helped Luna with the chores before she left for school.

…

Crystal was leaning against the headrest of her bed when the communicator tied around Jill's wrist went off. Jill woke up and took a quick look at the communicator, she sat up in a snap action and said, "Yes, Boss."

Shi Lang gave her a few instructions and the lady nodded in affirmation. After a few seconds, she jumped off the bed and rushed to the washroom while yelling at the communicator, "Boss will be here in five minutes, get your asses washed and soaked. He is bringing Tao with him."

Crystal did not understand what was going on here, but she could certainly say that it was a big event. Jill came out of the washroom after a quick shower and said, "You must not do anything that rubs boss in a bad way. It will not end up good."

The princess of the heavenly fox clan nodded and then she went to take a shower. When she came out, the room was empty and Jill was gone. She found a note that told her to go down to the lobby to regroup.

The princess was confused but she did not say anything and followed the instructions. Soon, she arrived in the lobby and found the ace division lined up in front of Shi Lang, who was holding hands with a little girl.

Crystal was shocked and Shi Lang said, "Everyone, this is my daughter, Shi Tao."

Shi Tao stepped forward and bowed her head as she said, "Greetings."

Everyone in the ace division returned the bow stiffly and said, "Greetings."

The little girl was confused by this behavior. Shi Lang looked at them and said, "What the heck is going on here?"

Jill shook her head and said, "Boss, we are just trying to get the young boss to like us."

Shi Lang placed his palm on his face and Shi Tao pointed at her nose and then asked, "I am the young boss?"

The people of the ace division all nodded there heads like some wooden mannequins. Shi Lang looked at Crystal and said, "You okay?"

Crystal nodded her head gently and said, "I apologize for hiding my identity from you, I hope you do not hold it against my people."

She was still scared of facing him after he showed his astounding prowess. Shi Lang shook his head and said, "I will not hold it against you if you and your people were just probing me and my group. However, if you had any ill intentions, I would like you to come clear, or I will not mind slaying the entire beast lineage for the sake of my people and their welfare."

Crystal could catch the slight cold in his voice and said, "You can rest assured, Boss. We will not betray you."

Shi Lang nodded and said, "Then, let's go. We are heading to the war planet."
