The General Loves to Collect Little Red Flowers

At night, Le Yao helped Xu Yao and Yan Jie open their sight with the Tianyan talismans he had drawn in the afternoon. After the ghost brothers, who had collected the required data, arrived at Le Yao’s house, Xu Yao left for the command center to attend to a matter, and Yan Jie was left to record the soldiers’ data with him.

Le Yao had summoned Ji Fengyu at the appointed time they had decided the previous day. So, at this time, aside from him and Yan Jie; Ji Fengyu, Wang Feixia and Bei Hongli were also in the house.

Three of the six undead brothers were all there. They brought with them the paper that Le Yao had burned for them, and it was densely packed with the birth dates of one group of soldiers.

“Let me introduce you to each other, ” Le Yao said to Yan Jie, “These are my ghost brothers, Ji Fengyu, Wang Feixia and Bei Hongli, and this is my friend, Yan Jie.”

“Hello...” Yan Jie looked at the undead who had appeared out of the sky and rubbed his arm involuntarily.

“Hello.” The three ghosts nodded and greeted.

Ji Fengyu said, “Here are the birth dates of five thousand soldiers. There are about eight thousand of them who can’t remember their birth day.”

“These dates were written down in groups of ten, with the soldiers taking turns. The two armies have now reached a stable battle balance, which can easily be broken if they draw too many people away at once,” added Bei Hongli.

“That’s right, we should provide some help as soon as possible.” What has it meant when the orcs of Sarna had been defeated? It had meant that the opposing side’s casualties were more severe, and the number of souls who were sent to hell was larger. “Okay, let’s figure out the eight characters of the data we have first, and try to send them the first batch of fragrant incense tonight,” said Le Yao, “It’s been hard on you.”

“It’s not hard,” Ji Fengyu said, “I was bored anyway.”

“Then, should I burn a TV and some books for you later?” said Le Yao. “I also want to send some toys for the children, but these two days are too packed with things to do. Mr. Bei, shall I make dolls for your little princess after this battle?”

“Alright. Thank you very much,” he replied with gratitude.

“Mr. Bei and Brother Wang should stay to help us pour over the data. Ji Fengyu, can you go back and continue recording dates? Anyways, we need one person each reading the data so that Yan Jie and I can input it into the program,” said Le Yao. He had prepared two Tianyan talismans in total, one for Xu Yao and one for Yan Jie, but Xu Yao hadn’t come back yet.

“Let Mr Bei go back. I’ll stay with Lao Wang.” Ji Fengyu continued, “Mr Bei is smart. His abilities have left us in the dust. When he arrived at Mount Fuhe, the clearing effect that took place because of his presence was comparable to that of Godzilla’s rampage.”

Bei Hongli: “...”

When Ji Fengyu realized what he had said, his face stiffened, and he apologized with an awkward smile, “I’m sorry, Mr Bei. It was just a joke.”

Fortunately, Bei Hongli didn’t care much for his words and disappeared.

Ji Fengyu looked around and made sure that Bei Hongli was gone. He then shouted, “He’s really gone. Damn, this man!”

Le Yao asked, “What’s the matter?”

Ji Fengyu said in reply, “I told you that we used to hear a lot about him before, but last night, we finally found out how abnormal he is. After we reached Mount Fuhe, he just sat there, silent, but when one of the Sarna orcs approached him, he thrust his hand and grabbed the other’s face. That face he caught disappeared from under our eyes. The whole head was gone, you know? A! Whole! Head! No! Now, this doesn’t really matter. But Le Yao, the doll, are you sure want to make it? I’m afraid you will be rejected because of your sewing skills. See, if the little princess of the Bai family complains to her father that the doll you made is too ugly, then you... “

Le Yao: “...”

Are you bad-mouthing Mr Bei’s fierceness or making fun of my sewing skills? What’s wrong with the doll I had sewn? Did your eyes get skewed when you were in it? Just let me practice some more, won’t you?

But, at the end of the day, the doll he had sewn previously was a bit ugly and quite scary. Le Yao pondered for a while and whispered, “If I can’t make it well, should I buy a ready-made one?”

As for Mr. Bei’s frightful abilities, Le Yao had noticed it but didn’t think too much about it. People of this sort who were calm and could do anything without panicking would become really ruthless when they started something. He was probably more powerful than Rong Gui.

After the work had been divided between the two pairs, Le Yao directed Ji Fengyu towards the bedroom, which they entered, and left Yan Jie and Wang Feixia to do their half of the work in the living room.

Le Yao was very calm. He cooperated with Ji Fengyu very well and was at ease while doing the work, but Yan Jie was obviously feeling a little restrained in the living room.

“Mr. Wang, you, you read, I...” Yan Jie coughed softly and loosened his collar, “I’ll repeat?”

“It’s alright. You don’t have to be nervous. I won’t do anything to you,” said Wang Feixia with a smile, “We are both of the same field.”

“Both of us?” Yan Jie was surprised.

“Yes. I was a programmer before I died. Later, I went back home to inherit my family business instead of facing the risk of baldness.”

“Is that true? I think Mr. Wang’s hair is very thick.”

“It’s fake,” Wang Feixia said, taking off his wig, thereby revealing a lot of thinning hair.

Yan Jie: “...”

Yan Jie soon realized that he didn’t seem to be so nervous anymore. So, as Wang Feixia read a set of data, he repeated it and it was recorded into the light brain with Mio’s help.

On the other hand, Le Yao had Leslie’s help to recording the data. He patiently heard Ji Fengyu’s recitation and then repeated it. In this way, the four of them worked in pairs for about three hours, and all the birth data of the five thousand soldiers was transferred into the light brains. Le Yao turned these into the eight characters data using the program and asked Leslie to print them out on a large piece of paper.

These papers were to be used before burning the incense. It would get easier after the first offering took place.

Le Yao classified these undead soldiers into the first group.

At one in the morning, the team led by Tang Ye and Uncle Ming set out for Vodapei. The huge interstellar battleship rose slowly and disappeared into the dark night. Xu Yao, with his guards, carried all incense cones in the canteen to their military hovercraft, which was outfitted with missile launchers. .

Le Yao asked Xu Yao, “Husband, can we really light the incense in the way you said?”

Xu Yao was also a God-man. Since they couldn’t enter the undead battlefield, he came up with the idea of putting an incense cone into the launcher and shooting it towards the ground. At that time, the incense would get scattered in the air, although Le Yao doubted if it would really work.

“Don’t worry, your husband has already promised to finish the task,” assured Xu Yao.

Le Yao said, “Then you must keep an eye on Ji Fengyu and Wang Feixia. In a moment they’ll give you the drop location, and you can just aim there.”

Xu Yao stroked Le Yao’s neck, “Ok.”

Le Yao shivered a little. He then saw the hovercraft fly over the Fuhe Mountain.

Yan Jie’s voice came from the communicator: “Reporting to the General! All brothers are in place, please give us our orders.”

Xu Yao looked through the window to check the spot where Ji Fengyu and Wang Feixia were floating, and then specified two points on the map of the console as he directed: “Leslie, ready to shoot in 3, 2, 1, launch!”

’Shoo! Shoo!’

Two cones, wrapped in silver shells, were projected onto the ground, with the pointed corner facing against the ground and the bottom of the incense cone plunging into it.

These sudden changes caused the soldiers in the battlefield to look up at the sky. But they couldn’t see the invisible hovercraft.

At this time, Ji Fengyu and Wang Feixia changed their positions. “Leslie, keep positioning... and launch!” directed Xu Yao again.

’Shoo! Shoo!’

Two more silver ’shells’ were heading straight for the ground!

Some unknown undead soldiers saw this and asked Shang Ting, “Captain, our division does not come here for night training, right? Does that mean the General knows we’re here?”

Shang Ting was also a bit muddled, because according to the original plan, today was the day to invite them to ’eat’ and replenish their spiritual energy!

’Shoo! Shoo!’

Strong and solid silver shells just kept on shooting!

A total of 16 shells were planted into the ground without any problem. The undead soldiers had no idea about what was happening. As Shang Ting hesitated to ask Shen Weilin, all of a sudden, the shells’ pointed heads and flat bottoms cracked! They looked like flowers blooming one by one. The bottom of the flower cracked to latch onto the ground, and the ’flower heart’ inside was exposed after the head cracked.

On the console’s map, once Le Yao saw that all sixteen incense cones were in place, he told Xu Yao, “Husband, drop me at this position.”

He was referring to a hillside. The place where the Sarna army and the Flying Wolf army had fought in was a valley, and Le Yao needed to stand exactly at the position he had pointed to, just to see the undead soldiers better.

Xu Yao motioned Leslie to fly to the place chosen by Le Yao.

The terrain here was high. After Le Yao arrived, Ji Fengyu, Bei Hongli and the others quickly surrounded him. These six undead formed a protective circle around Le Yao, just like a guard.

Le Yao took out the eight character birthdays list, that had been printed by Leslie from his backpack, and also took out three sticks of incense. He lit the incense, held them high above his head, bowed three times towards the west, and recited: “Today, I worship 5000 dead brothers of the Flying Wolf Division with 16 cones of incense. May your souls be peaceful forever...”

At the end of his chant, Le Yao ignited the eight character sheet with the incense.

“Boom!” The sheet suddenly turned to ashes.

Xu Yao ordered: “Yan Jie, light the incense!”

Yan Jie’s bodyguards aimed at the incense cones on the ground and fired the explosives at them.

The day before, Shang Ting and Shen Weilin had ’eaten’ a noodle-flavoured incense stick. They didn’t realise that the shells were filled with incense. So, when these things were attacked by the explosives, they didn’t understand that this was what they had consumed, until the incense in the shells began to burn and the wind slowly carried up the smoke....

The flavours of barbecue, stewed meat, spice, scallion sauce, seafood...

It’s so fucking fragrant! But we can’t see where the food is!

A soldier asked, “Captain, where is the food?”

Shan Ting answered, “Don’t ask, just inhale it quickly! It’ll be gone in a moment!”

The soldier was slightly shocked and inhaled it subconsciously. His reaction: Oh!! What is this? It’s as satisfying as eating a big meal!
