It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

“You want me to take part in the mutiny?” Song Yiqing smiled coldly. “If Du Mingyi doesn’t hand over the control of the mainframe to you, everyone in this base will die because of you.”

Song Yiqing gave a look of contempt as he continued, “Why don’t you pretend to be caught by me instead? After that, I’ll bring you to Du Mingyi and trick him into giving me the control of the mainframe. This plan has a much higher possibility of success.”

“Do I look like such a rash person who does something without planning? Du Mingyi is not a problem at all,” Ling Lan replied indifferently.

“What do you mean?” Song Yiqing raised one of his eyebrows in doubt.

Ling Lan raised her right hand and snapped her fingers. The road lamps at the side suddenly lit up, illuminating the misting path, creating a cozy atmosphere around the two of them.

Song Yiqing’s expression drastically changed. He exclaimed in surprise, “How did you gain control of the mainframe?”

The mainframe was the final trick up Du Mingyi’s sleeves. He had to put up with Du Mingyi because of this. Yet, the final trick that put him at a loss, making him bow down to Du Mingyi unconditionally, was useless against Ling Lan.

Ling Lan smiled at Song Yiqing, seemingly mocking his intelligence. Song Yiqing knew that he had asked a stupid question. No one would tell anyone such a powerful secret.

When Ling Lan had gained control of the mainframe, he knew that Du Mingyi had no chance of winning anymore. Although, as the grandson of Song Yongzheng, his ability was a little weak, he had the courage and judgment of a true descendant of an elite family. He quickly asked, “What will I get if I work with you?”

Ling Lan glanced at him coldly. Her gaze was piercing as if she could look into the depths of your soul. She patted the short whip on his chest. “Song Yiqing, don’t try to bargain with me. I’m not the patient type.”

Song Yiqing frowned. He never expected Ling Lan to be so domineering, that he didn’t have any thoughts of discussing with him.

“You will take one of two options. One, follow me without any conditions. Two, follow Du Mingyi and eat prison food with him,” Ling Lan said coldly.

Song Yiqing’s face turned red and his lips trembled when he heard Ling Lan’s unreasonable words. He really wanted to fight with this irritating man and tell them that he was not going to play with him anymore. However, he didn’t dare to say this, as the mainframe was under his control.

“Young Master Qing!” Ai Liang was angered by Ling Lan’s words too. But, without Song Yiqing’s command, he would not move so he tried to urge him to order him to take down Ling Lan.

Song Yiqing took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. He replied coldly, “As long as you defeat Senior Captain Ai Liang here, I will be willing to follow you for my entire life.”

Ling Lan looked at Ai Liang who was giving off a strong fighting intent and smiled. ‘Isn’t this consider food delivered right to my doorstep? Well, the grandson of the second marshal could also help her wipe the soles of her shoes.’

“Song Yiqing, you are always so stupid. You like to make a bet with your opponent before you understand him fully.” Ling Lan jeered with a sharp gaze. “I hope you will not regret what you said.”

“Regret? Although I’m a good-for-nothing but I always follow up with what I said. I will honor my bet and not regret it.” Ling Lan’s words almost made him vomit out blood. He said angrily, “What about you? Are you willing to bet with me? If you lose, you’ll follow me for life.”

Ling Lan sneered. She played with the short whip in her hand. The anger on Song Yiqing’s face disappeared slowly when he saw Ling Lan’s calm demeanour. The feeling of anxiousness started to creep up inside him, but he gritted his teeth and said, “You don’t dare?”

“Song Yiqing, you are stupid but sly. That is your real motive, right?” Ling Lan said nonchalantly.

“If you don’t have the confidence, then we can both just calmly go back to where we came from.” Song Yiqing smiled. So what if Ling Lan found out his intentions? If Ling Lan didn’t want to fight, he could just sit on the fence, no matter which side won, he would not lose anything. He didn’t believe that Ling Lan would dare to annihilate his entire mecha clan.

His status as the grandson of Song Yongzheng would protect him. If the other party wanted to continue staying in the military of the Federation, he wouldn’t hurt him.

“No problem. Since you give me a winning bet, I will take it. If not, I’ll be wasting this good opportunity.” Ling Lan smiled. “One last thing: Don’t regret it!”

Song Yiqing’s confidence wavered when he saw Ling Lan’s calm expression. He started to wonder if he really made a mistake.

‘No, he can’t be wrong. Besides those monsters from the Flying Dragon Special Forces, no one is able to advance to the domain stage at such a young age.’ Song Yiqing cheered himself on silently. He would definitely win this wager.

Song Yongzheng didn’t think highly of Song Yiqing but as a descendant of his, he didn’t want him to die at a young age, completely ruining the reputation of the Song family. Hence, when Song Yiqing went to Planet Haijiao, Song Yongzheng used his authority to send a domain realm master to protect Song Yiqing. That domain realm master was the humble-looking Ai Liang.

Ai Liang saw Ling Lan accepting the challenge so he stepped out slowly from behind Song Yiqing.

Ling Lan knocked Song Yiqing’s chest with her short whip and reminded him, “Are you not planning to leave this place with your men? Do you want to die here?” He was just at Qi-Jin stage. It was a suicidal act for Song Yiqing if he stood so near to a battle between two domain realm masters.

That’s right, Ling Lan already knew Ai Liang was a domain realm master. He just suppressed his force of presence and made it seemed as though he was only at the primary stage of Qi-Jin. Ling Lan realized she was not the only one who knew how to suppress her force of presence. The other domain realm masters here could do it too.

Song Yiqing looked at Ling Lan in surprise, seemingly astounded by her sudden act of kindness. He remembered that when he felt hurt just now, Ling Lan was the one who comforted him.

Song Yiqing quickly retreated with his men. He looked at the calm and confident Ling Lan who was standing in front of Ai Liang. He was curious. ‘What kind of person is he? He has a sharp tongue and can irritate people easily. But, he is kind enough to comfort others even if the person is his opponent.’ The two of them were not on good terms but he didn’t hate Ling Lan. He hoped that Ai Liang would not beat Ling Lan up too roughly.

‘This doesn’t sound like me!’ Song Yiqing couldn’t help mock himself. Then, he gathered his emotions and waited for the result of the battle between Ai Liang and Ling Lan.

After everyone retreated 100 meters away, Ling Lan looked at Ai Liang calmly. She said indifferently, “The battle between domain realm masters will destroy the facilities here. Why don’t we just use our most powerful single-target attack to decide the winner?”

Ai Liang turned serious. “You reached the domain stage too?”

He didn’t notice Ling Lan’s true power but Ling Lan managed to see through his disguise. Suddenly, he felt that this wager might be a mistake.
