Chapter 2216 - 2209: The Old General Fears His Granddaughter
However, this requires extremely advanced skills; otherwise, it’s easy to end up feeding the shark rather than riding it.
The communication technology nowadays is very advanced; everything happening at sea is already known to Huaxia Country.
On Haisha Island, the Old General watched the images of the warship being sunk on the television, tears streaming down his face.
"Daughter, you didn’t die in vain, you didn’t die in vain."
Although Huaxia Country’s warship was also sunk, the other side lost one of the most advanced warships.
The Old General pressed the assembly bell.
Soon, all the navy on the island gathered together; everyone came to the harbor.
"Let us pay tribute to the martyrs!" The elderly man raised his trembling hand and saluted the sea with a standard military salute.
"Salute!"
Thousands of navy personnel on the island all raised their hands and saluted the sea.
"Fire the salute cannon!"
Bang, bang, bang...
The old warships fired their cannons; the ship’s cannons were used as ceremonial cannons.
The two sat on the shark; Qiao Feifei tightly hugged Wang Dadong’s waist, extremely excited; today’s events were incredibly thrilling.
Suddenly, a shell exploded not far from them, throwing up a high splash, nearly knocking them off.
"What’s going on, why are they firing at us?" The two looked at each other, baffled.
Qiao Feifei quietly listened for a while and said, "This is the salute cannon; Grandpa must think the two of us sacrificed."
"Xiaoyuer, run faster!" Wang Dadong immediately patted the shark forcefully; the shark, in pain, increased its speed dramatically.
"Feifei, you didn’t embarrass Grandpa, didn’t embarrass Grandpa!" The Old General stood at the port, silently sobbing. Although it was a sacrifice, she was still his granddaughter; how could the elderly not be heartbroken?
"Old General, don’t be sad." The adjutant comforted.
"Hey, look, what is that!" The adjutant pointed at the sea and shouted.
The crowd followed the sound and saw a shark speeding in from afar, carrying two people on its back.
"That’s General Qiao!"
"It’s them! They are not dead!"
All the soldiers cheered.
"It’s good they’re not dead, it’s good they’re not dead." The Old General’s eyes were filled with tears.
The speed of the shark was incredibly fast, reaching the shore in just a few minutes.
"We’re here." Wang Dadong turned his head to speak to Qiao Feifei behind him.
"Oh? Oh." Only then did Qiao Feifei react, blushing as she released her arms from around Wang Dadong’s waist.
"General Qiao has never been so intimate with a man before."
"General Qiao can blush too? It’s over, it’s over, the goddess in our hearts has been taken away by someone else."
"If you have the guts, go sink a Dongyin Country warship!"
The soldiers discussed fervently, faces full of admiration. Every man in the garrison had feelings for this most beautiful female general, but they knew they were not worthy of Qiao Feifei.
Despite the admiration, there was no jealousy, for they knew they didn’t have the skill to sink Dongyin Country’s advanced warship with a broken warship.
The entire Haisha Island was immersed in celebration; the Old General took out the treasured old cellar and shared it with everyone.
Since being stationed at Haisha Island, this navy has often been bullied and ridiculed by Dongyin warships; today they finally held their heads high.
"Let those Dongyin devils be arrogant; see if they dare to look down on our Huaxia Navy again."
"I would have gone with General Qiao if I’d known."
The soldiers were extremely excited.
"Stop praising me, it’s all thanks to Wang Dadong this time; without him, I’d be shark food." Qiao Feifei said, sipping old wine, her cheeks flushed.
"Not surprised it’s the Dragon Group; the world is for you young people... I originally wanted to have a drink with you, but my health isn’t up to it..." The Old General’s face also showed a gratifying look.
Wang Dadong put down the wine cup, smiling, "Old General, you’re vigorous; one cup isn’t enough; let me toast you three big bowls!"
Wang Dadong immediately found six bowls, personally filling them with wine.
"No, Grandpa can’t drink." Qiao Feifei quickly stopped him.
Wang Dadong waved his hand at Qiao Feifei, "This is a matter between men, women stay aside."
Being called ’woman’ by Wang Dadong made Qiao Feifei blush, but given Wang Dadong’s crucial role in destroying the Dongyin warship, she couldn’t get angry.
The soldiers also started heckling, "General Qiao, usually it’s alright for you to manage the Old General strictly, but today, the Old General is happy, let him drink a little."
"Yes, Feifei, today I am happy, let me have three big bowls with the youngster." The Old General was somewhat tempted.
Qiao Feifei knew that the Old General was very stubborn and wouldn’t easily change his mind, so she said, "You can drink, but only one bowl."
"One bowl it is." Wang Dadong didn’t force it.
The two bowls clinked together.
Both drank heartily in one go, after which they smashed the bowls on the ground, feeling exhilarating.
"Old General, how do you feel?" Wang Dadong asked with a smile, looking at General Ke Long.
"This wine seems like it has no taste?" Having said that, he picked up another bowl to drink.
"Grandpa!" Qiao Feifei was a bit anxious.
"Women, stay aside." Wang Dadong stopped Qiao Feifei, who wanted to go up and prevent the Old General from drinking.
Once the Old General took a sip, he couldn’t put down the bowl; the wine, although lacking flavor, was extremely refreshing, and drinking it seemed to purify the soul. Even the chest tightness and weak breathing from Old Hao’s Disease seemed to alleviate.
The Old General drank three big bowls in one go.
During the drinking process, his hunched body gradually straightened, his graying hair turned black, wrinkles on his face vanished, and his eyes, once clouded by age, became bright and spirited.
Almost with every sip, the Old General’s body underwent changes, becoming more upright, and he appeared younger.
These three bowls were not merely wine but were infused with Wang Dadong’s Golden Blood.
However, only a small amount was added, so even the Old General did not notice.
After finishing the wine, the Old General realized everyone had stopped their commotion, focusing their eyes on him.
"Keep drinking, why are you all looking at me?" The Old General asked in confusion.
"Grandpa, you, you’ve become younger." Qiao Feifei said excitedly.
"Oh? Really? I indeed feel full of strength in my body." The elder’s voice also became rich and powerful.
Wang Dadong raised the wine jar, "Old man, want to drink three more bowls? After these three, your old ailments will be cured!"
The Old General couldn’t see his own face and didn’t know he looked about twenty years younger. He glanced at Qiao Feifei with an inquiring look, "Feifei, today Grandpa is happy, can I have two more cups with the youngster?"
Unexpectedly, the once mighty presence on the battlefield, the Old General, was so afraid of his granddaughter, needing her permission even to drink.
