Chapter Forty-Five: Lena: Can You Handle It, Little Ajie?

Uncle could put up with it, but Auntie couldn't.

Without hesitation, Ge Xiaolun looked at the number in his hand and dialed it.

"Hello! You said you could help me settle this grudge! How?"

When Ge Xiaolun's call came through, Rose hadn't expected him to come around so quickly.

Remembering what Ashe had just told her, Rose gave Ge Xiaolun his instructions, one word at a time.

Meanwhile, back on the lawn outside Super Seminary, Ashe had finished meditating and completing her daily martial arts practice.

The system had awarded her four Nurturing Points, but Ashe didn't think the paltry amount made her efforts a waste.

After all, she'd spent more than a decade saving them up this way. If she kept at it for another ten years, she still wouldn't feel it was a waste.

Besides, both meditation and martial arts practice were indispensable to Ashe's growth in strength.

The former helped her reflect on the decisions she made in everyday life and stay calmer in a crisis. The latter was even more directly tied to whether she lived or died.

How could Ashe not take it seriously?

She took a clean towel out of her pocket dimension.

Then she quickly wiped away the sweat she'd worked up.

Especially around her neck. After such vigorous exercise, beads of sweat gathered and trickled slowly down her snow-white skin.

Ashe hadn't really noticed while she was training, but the moment she finished,

the slow trickle of sweat made her feel itchy and sticky. It was deeply uncomfortable.

Ashe was particularly well-endowed, and her skin was pale, smooth, and soft. Sometimes, the sweat could easily find its way between her breasts and slide right down.

It was swift, sure, and merciless.

It was also a bit of a hassle to deal with. She couldn't exactly use a towel to thoroughly wipe between her breasts in public, so many times Ashe had gone straight to showering after training.

Fortunately, after she'd upgraded to a First Generation Super Soldier, she sweated a lot less.

That spared Ashe from the deeply uncomfortable feeling. But she hadn't been like this in her previous life, so she didn't know if it was because of this body.

Maybe that was why Ashe was so sensitive.

Putting her stray thoughts aside, she tossed the towel back into her pocket dimension.

Ashe glanced at her phone, guessing that Lena and Ajie would be there soon.

To be honest, Ashe liked Lena, the boisterous captain of Xiong Bing Lian.

Even though she was the Lieyang Main God, she didn't put on airs at all.

She was easygoing, and sometimes she'd even crack a risqué joke with you. She wasn't shy about it, nor did she mind you noticing and admiring her beauty.

She had a great figure and a pretty face, and she was willing to try all sorts of unusual outfits with you. She didn't mind sharing new experiences, either.

She was noble yet approachable, beautiful and rich, and loved to act cute and clown around.

How could Ashe dislike such a versatile, powerful "power bank" with so many potential uses?

Unfortunately, as the Lieyang Main God, Lena hadn't been available for Ashe to meet and get familiar with before the invasion of Earth began.

She'd have to make up for lost time now.

Ashe thought back over Lena's personality. She had to admit, Cao Cao was always right on time.

Whenever you wanted him, he'd show up in no time.

Ajie's personal sedan screeched to a halt outside Super Seminary.

The dust it kicked up made Ashe instinctively take a step back.

Well now, Ajie was really going wild behind the wheel today.

Ashe was just about to go over when a figure popped out of the car first.

Someone got out.

"Good grief, my lady!"

"If there's a next time, I'm not letting you drive my car."

"It's my only little sedan, and you drove it like a race car! This isn't Mount Akina—why were you in such a hurry?"

Seeing Ajie get out of the passenger seat, Ashe slightly changed the direction of her step.

Sure enough, Lena was the one who got out of the driver's seat.

Her long, shapely legs in black stockings paired with a fitted black trench coat made her look both aloof and alluring.

Beneath her shoulder-length hair, her bright eyes brimmed with energy and hope. Her voice was sunny and upbeat.

With a face that perfectly matched East Asian ideals of beauty, anyone seeing Lena for the first time would probably assume she was a cheerful girl from a privileged family.

Lena stretched at length, loosening up. Hearing Ajie's complaints, she replied dismissively, "Come on, Ajie, how fast was that?"

"If this car had better performance, your goddess could've driven it even faster."

"And you're a Super Soldier designed by Super Seminary, who even participated in and commanded space wars."

"You can't handle that little bit of speed?"

Lena raised an eyebrow and narrowed her eyes, looking thoroughly unimpressed. That little "Ajie" made him feel like she wasn't just mocking him for being unable to handle the speed. Ajie replied irritably,

"Hey, how is this my fault?"

"Lena, you're a third-generation Super Soldier. I'm still just an ordinary person."

"If you get banged up, no big deal. If I do, I'll be laid up for three months!"

"Not that I'd mind, but aliens are coming, and I've got a ton of things to do. I can't afford to waste time!"

He paused briefly. For a moment, Ajie had been tempted to ask Lena to help him spend three months slacking off on paid leave.

But remembering his responsibilities, he only grumbled a little.

After trading a few complaints, Ajie and Lena naturally noticed Ashe right away.

Ajie's expression shifted, and he was just about to greet her.

But Ashe walked straight toward Lena without hesitation. Ajie vaguely understood why Ashe had ignored him, and he was just about to say something.

Lena's eyes lit up when she saw Ashe, and she hurried forward.

She reached out and took Ashe's hand. "Hello! You're Ashe, right? I'm Lena, your future comrade-in-arms and teacher."

"I won't say too much for now. You'll understand everything in time. Just remember, I'm..."

"My goddess and captain, right?"

"All right. It's an honor to meet you, my goddess." As Lena paused, Ashe answered without hesitation.

She held Lena's hand and brought it to her lips, giving it a greeting kiss like people did in some European countries.

With Lena watching her, her eyes shining brightly, Ashe smiled and said, "My name is Ashe. I've been waiting for you!"

"Should I warn Lena about Ashe's situation?" Watching the scene unfold, Ajie felt a little worried.

Looking at Lena's shining eyes, Ashe had to admit that "eyes shining brightly" was usually just a figure of speech. Lena's eyes were actually shining.

Ashe was just about to say something else.

But Lena reacted first. She stepped forward, draped an arm around Ashe's shoulders, and gave her a gentle squeeze.

The two of them stood arm in arm like old buddies. Remembering what she'd heard about Ashe's way of doing things, Lena launched right in.

"So, you're Ashe!"

"You've got good taste, little girl! That's right! Your big sister is your future goddess and captain."

"I'm not bragging—your big sister is a real goddess, the Lieyang Main God! Got it?"

"Stick with me, and you'll eat well!"
