Chapter 51: Application

Liang Xin agreed wholeheartedly. Mohan’s personality was simply too cold. Mohan was a man entirely focused on training; he was averse to women, his heart set only on his training.

Before Luo Jiaojiao, Mohan was truly averse to women, to the extent that the only female he’d ever been close to was a she-wolf in the mountains.

Therefore, the fact that Mohan’s marriage application was approved so quickly was largely thanks to Ou Cheng and Liang Xin.

Ou Cheng recalled Mohan’s past fighting prowess. His courage was certainly admirable, but his disregard for his own safety was deeply worrying.

Ou Cheng sighed and said slowly, “Mohan, do you know? You’re married now; you have a family. Your life no longer belongs solely to you; you have a wife behind you. Even if you don’t think of yourself, think of your wife. In this world, she can only rely on you.”

A pang of pain struck Mohan’s heart; he knew Ou Cheng was speaking the truth. He truly had a home now, a family, and the people closest to him.

“I know. I’ll be careful,” Mohan’s voice was low and firm.

“I know you’re brave, and I know you’re capable. But you must understand that your safety is no longer just your own concern; you have your wife. You can’t be as impulsive and reckless as you used to be, completely disregarding your own safety. You must consider her, consider your future,” Ou Cheng’s eyes were full of concern and worry.

Mohan remained silent for a moment; he knew his commander was right. He nodded and said, “I understand. I’ll be careful.”

“That’s good,” Ou Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. “But I still have to remind you, my wife and Jiaojiao’s parents have a good relationship. If you really sacrifice yourself, we will definitely help her find a stable new husband. After all, she’s still young, and she has a long way to go.”

Mohan’s face instantly turned gloomy. He clenched his fists tightly and said, “No need. I believe that day will never come.”

Liang Xin gave Ou Cheng a thumbs-up. That was a brilliant move. Let’s see if this kid Mohan dares to be so careless with his life again.

Unless he truly dares to give up his beautiful little wife.

Mohan knew they were concerned about him. While slightly uncomfortable, he wasn’t angry. He silently kept this matter in mind, deciding to cherish his body from now on and not let everyone worry about him.

Liang Xin looked at Mohan, his eyes full of concern and expectation.

“Mohan, we mainly hope you can quickly get back into training these two days. You must go all out in this competition. I heard there are some good recruits; you have to win them over, and then you’ll be in charge of training them,” Liang Xin said.

Mohan nodded. If there were good recruits, he wouldn’t let them slip away.

“I heard that the soldier king from the Northwest will also participate in this training. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself,” Liang Xin added after a moment’s thought.

Mohan knew the soldier king from the Northwest was a formidable opponent. But he also believed in his own strength.

“I understand. I’ll intensify my training after the holiday. First place will still be mine. Whether it’s the soldier king from the Northwest or the war god from the South, I’ll get to see how they compare to this wolf king,” Mohan’s tone remained as cold and calm as ever.

Ou Cheng was no longer worried after hearing his tone. They were indeed formidable, but Mohan was no slouch either.

“With those words, we’re relieved. Just be careful then. By the way, are you sure about the people you’re bringing to this competition? Submit the list to me first,” Ou Cheng looked at Mohan and said. “And your application, go confirm it. Will you go now, or tomorrow?”

Mohan glanced at his residence, remembering his trip to town tomorrow. “Let’s go now. I’ll give you the list; it’s already finalized.”

“Good, let’s go then,” Ou Cheng nodded.

Ou Cheng thought of the house. “Mu Bai and Wang Li took people to help clean the house. Is it all done? I saw them cleaning when I left.”

Mohan nodded. “It’s all done. Tomorrow, we’ll go to the logistics department to confirm the furniture they’ll deliver. I’ll take Jiaojiao to town to buy some things; we can move in the day after tomorrow.”

“The day after tomorrow, Mu Bai and I will go hunting in the back mountains. Come over for dinner the day after that,” Mohan said to them, as they were definitely people he needed to invite. “Remember to bring your wives; it will make Jiaojiao feel more at ease. I really need to trouble your wives to help take care of her.”

Mohan pleaded.

Ou Cheng and Liang Xin raised their eyebrows. He was really worried about his wife. It seemed he was truly serious.

“No problem. I’ll definitely bring my wife. You’re cooking, we can’t miss that. Remember to make a lot. Your cooking skills are so good, you could be a chef even if you weren’t a soldier,” Liang Xin had the good fortune to have eaten Mohan’s cooking. It was unbelievably delicious. The ingredients were the same, but his cooking made all the difference.

Mohan replied, “Plenty to go around.”

“Your cooking is excellent. Make plenty of meals for Jiaojiao. Although you’re cold, you’re good-looking, and with your cooking skills, she won’t leave you, will she?” Ou Cheng offered Mohan some advice, still feeling uneasy.

“That’s right, Ou Cheng is right. You should change your personality. You’re so cold, not to mention the girls, even the soldiers under you are afraid of you.”

“My neighbor has six children, but they’re quiet at the appointed time. They’re quieter than families with only one or two children. Mohan, do you know why?” Liang Xin looked at Mohan enigmatically.

Mohan looked up at Liang Xin, then lowered his head again. He didn’t know what Liang Xin was up to, but he knew it had something to do with him. He waited for Liang Xin to continue.

“My wife also curiously asked. Do you know what they said?” Liang Xin smiled and asked Mohan.

“Because they’re all afraid of you!” Liang Xin said with a laugh. “Their mother scares them with you, saying that if they keep making noise, she’ll throw them to you and let you take them to feed the wolves. As soon as they hear that, they’re as quiet as mice seeing a cat.”

Ou Cheng couldn’t help but laugh.

Mohan said helplessly, “Wolves don’t eat children, and I wouldn’t dare take children into the mountains.”

And it was true that wolves didn’t eat children; he was raised by wolves as a child.
