The General Loves to Collect Little Red FlowersCh51.2 - An Army Dinner Party for Everyone (2)

Edited By Noks and Wiji


One day passed by quickly. As Le Yao and Xu Yao walked to the cafeteria at night, they could hear talk about the ‘army dinner’ all the way. A few soldiers deemed the situation a little unacceptable, and their hearts were disturbed. However, most of them still thought that if their former comrades were still around, it would be better than anything.  AbdJwq

Only through experiencing life and death together did they comprehend what brotherhood was. Now, they felt afraid that the army dinner was just a fake ploy. because, it is a Really! Fantastical! Idea!

Le Yao speculated that it might be because these people were atheists from birth and did not believe in the existence of ghosts and gods, so they weren’t frightened by the esoteric. They were unlike the humans on Earth 500 years ago, who had heard too many stories about ghosts and gods, so much so that it gave birth to a certain kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts.

But that’s good, at least there’s not much dissent about the dinner.

Dinner was usually held at a reasonable time, but today, for the sake of the whole army’s dinner, it had been postponed  quite a bit, mainly for the consideration of the undead army that had not yet arrived. pVWgfl

After Le Yao and Xu Yao arrived at the cafeteria, they checked on the 14,000 cones of incense that had been prepared according to the requirements, and ensured that the dinner had been made according to the standards for a feast. They brought guards and the relocation team with them to the spot they had chosen a while back to burn the dormitories and clothes.

This place was also under the jurisdiction of the Flying Wolf Division. It was about two kilometers to the west of the Command Center and away from the residential area.

“I’ll be opening the sight for some of you. If it’s your first time, you’ll feel a little dizzy or nauseous at first, but it won’t last for long, so don’t worry,” said Le Yao. He gave the Tianyan talismans to the Logistics Team Captain, President Liu, Doctor Zhao, Xu Yao and Han Mo. As for Yan Jie’s share, his talisman was used by Xu Yao, so it was gone!

“If only the talisman could be printed…” said Yan Jie.

“The runes can be printed, but the divine power imbued in them cannot, so don’t think too much.” Le Yao added, “Mr Yan, you’re just being delusional.”

Yan Jie: “…”

Yan Jie quickly stood aside and closed his mouth, in fear that he would reach a dead-end on the metaphysical path if he said more.

Le Yao started opening the sight for Xu Yao, and then one by one, with clean and quick actions, he helped the rest of them open their sight with the Tianyan talismans, and then shook the small toothless rattle in his hand. 0WS5ia

The wind rose high.

Seeing that the sky had turned completely dark, Le Yao drew a circle on the ground. He motioned to Xu Yao to put the small printed Dormitory No. 1 inside the circle.

Le Yao wrote in the circle: Located two kilometers to the west of the Command Center of The Flying Wolf Division; this is offered to the Underworld, to be received by the thousands of undead troops of the Flying Wolf Division.

The new students of the xuanshu class were embarrassed. They always thought that these things Le Yao did were too casual. But once Le Yao finished writing the runes and burned the small building, a building instantly appeared next to the Command Center! Right before their eyes! oHbt8Y

This new building was much bigger than the one Le Yao had burned. It was no different from a real building, except that it looked translucent!

At this time, Le Yao put Dormitory No. 2 into another circle, and then wrote inside it: Located fifty meters north of the Dormitory No. 1 of the Dead of the Flying Wolf Division; this is offered to the Underworld, to be received by the thousands of undead troops of the Flying Wolf Division.

After he repeatedly burned 18 such buildings in the same way, the dormitory buildings were all lined up in an orderly fashion, ‘built’ on the open space west of the Command Center, looking just like an army barracks!

President Liu, Dr. Zhao, Captain Chen and Han Mo: “…” Ko28u5

“President Liu, Captain Chen, how are you feeling?” asked Xu Yao.

President Liu rubbed his face fiercely and said, “General, I may need to calm down.”

Captain Chen: “…” I don’t even know what to say!

He gently poked Yan Jie and said, “Mr Yan, pinch me.”

Yan Jie smirked and pinched him hard!

“Ah!!!” Captain Chen rubbed his arm and excitedly said, “My God, this is… really… the Madam is truly amazing!”

Le Yao had opened the door to a new world to this group of people. While they were still in awe, he said to Xu Yao, “Put all the clothes here. Burning them with fire from the incense is definitely not a good idea. You will have to use your aircraft to spray some oil to burn them.” BljF1M

“Alright. Leslie, get in position.” Xu Yao ordered, “Follow my wife’s instructions later.”

“Yes, General.”

More than 10,000 sets of military uniforms would occupy a significantly large area, so Le Yao had to draw a new circle around them. After he had encircled the clothes, he wrote the receivers’ information, and then let Leslie control the flamethrower on the mecha to initiate the burning.

Within a short time, the ultra-high temperature flame burned the whole pile of clothes without any ashes remaining. f5Q8pk

Captain Chen asked, “What about the clothes?” The small buildings had burned and appeared at the other side. But, where are the clothes?!

Le Yao replied, “The clothes have arrived at Fuhe Mountain. They should be able to finish wearing them in 15 minutes, right? “

“The stipulated military time for changing into uniform is 15 seconds,” said Xu Yao.

Le Yao stared at Xu Yao, “Distributing the clothes will take a while, right? There are so many clothes,  even though you have indicated the soldier’s military code on it, it won’t be that fast.” 5BSWv

Xu Yao replied with a smile, “Alright, I’ll listen to you tonight, Teacher Xiao Le.”

Le Yao smacked Xu Yao’s chest with his toothless rattle and said, “It’s good that you understand.”

Several people rushed towards the newly ‘built’ dormitory buildings while waiting the undead soldiers to show up. When President Liu, Doctor Zhao and the others arrived before the transparent buildings, they poked it in a funny way with their fingers. The result: their fingers went through it! Also, there were no stairs in the buildings!

Suddenly they remembered what Le Yao had said, the words ‘floating up’, and they felt a little frazzled. Zp0rJ

Le Yao entered the building and entered the first room on the first floor, because he couldn’t climb to the top floor. He discovered that the interior was how he had imagined it, so he exited it. Then, at the door of the first room of Dormitory No. 1, he drew a rune on the ground and recited: “Here, on this land, I call the most Spiritual of the Gods, through the Heavens and the Earth, out of the Secluded and into the Underworld, with the spirit and worship of my heart, to please hear me out. Shen Weilin, if you are listening to this prayer, come and gather quickly!”

But Shen Weilin did not appear as quickly as he had in previous summonings.

“Mr. Xiao Le, Weilin… he…” After waiting for a while, Han Mo didn’t see Shen Weilin and asked in confusion: “Is this summoning spell effective immediately? Does the summoned person have to present himself or can he choose whether or not to appear?”

“He can choose. Shen Weilin hasn’t come yet because there are a lot of people he is going to bring. Look over there.” Le Yao raised his chin in the direction of Fuhe Mountain. Promptly, at that moment, thousands of dead soldiers appeared on the empty hillside! 5B F2i

“Oh my… Oh my God!” Dr. Zhao stepped back unconsciously, stunned by the scene in front of him. “It’s really our comrades-in-arms!”

“Yes, yes, yes!! Deputy Shen! I see Deputy Shen and Captain Shang!” Captain Chen quickly waved his hand: “Deputy Shen! Captain Shang!”

“Captain Chen!” Shang Ting whizzed and floated over in a speedy movement, “It’s been a long time. You’ve opened your sight?”

“Yes, yes, Mr Xiao Le helped me open it.” Captain Chen looked at him up and down. At first, he was ecstatic, but his eyes gradually reddened, “Damn it, I thought I’d never see you again!” BHvs6

“Hey, hey, what are you crying for?” Xu Yao’s heart also felt bitter, but he didn’t want everyone to feel melancholic on such a happy day, so he said, “Shen Weilin, take the soldiers to the cafeteria!”

“Yes, General!” Shen Weilin said and smiled: “Captain Chen, please be happy. Let’s talk slowly later. We need to see our other comrades first.”

“Good. Everyone is waiting for you.” Captain Chen hurriedly wiped his teary eyes.

The living soldiers had been seated in their respective positions in the cafeteria. Each of them had a set meal in front of them, but this set meal was larger than ever before, at least twice the amount of the usual, and there was a note that said, don’t open it first. Also, they each got a small incense cone, a lighter, and an empty lunch box with it. FxlOBV

Not understanding what this was about, a curious soldier took the incense cone, smelled it, and then whispered, “Why have we been given empty meal boxes?”

The soldier next to him replied, “Do you need to ask? It’s a dinner for the whole army, and we’ll be eating it with our former comrades-in-arms. Obviously, the empty boxes are for them.”

The soldier who had asked the question thought this explanation was right after he pondered on it. However, he also felt that such an act would be miraculous.

How can our comrades, who are dead, eat? The same question flashed through the minds of every soldier present in the cafeteria. Suddenly, everyone felt the temperature of the cafeteria drop! Uj2OJd

It was very hot outside so the cafeteria had been a bit warm, but now, it seemed as if the air conditioner had suddenly been turned on!

Xu Yao and Le Yao walked in from the front door, and all the soldiers stood up in unison: “Good evening, General! Good evening, Madam!”

“Good evening everyone. Sit down,” said Xu Yao. 

Shua~ pLubJ6

In neat and uniform movements, everyone straightened their backs, and looked ahead.

After everyone was seated, Xu Yao said, “All the undead brothers should also sit down.”

The living soldiers: “…”

Xu Yao added, “Except for the brothers who are on active duty, everyone is here now. As I said before, this is a dinner party for the whole army of the Flying Wolf Division, because we have found our comrades-in-arms and brothers after four years of separation. In the future, they will stay with us and continue to guard our land along with us, which is something we should be happy about. Now, everyone is here!” 472dtx

Soldiers: “Here we are!”

Xu Yao ordered, “Put half of the food in your meal box into the empty one.” 

Everyone carried out this order at the same time, and this action moved Le Yao’s heart the most. Even though it was obvious that they clearly didn’t think that their undead brothers could eat food, they still placed a larger division of the food in their meal box into the opposite one.

Xu Yao added: “After you’ve done this, light the incense cone and follow Madam’s words.” 6yD sn

Le Yao opened the communication device and broadcasted into the cafeteria: “Tonight, with an incense cone and a dinner, I honour the tens of thousands of undead brothers of the Flying Wolf Division! May your soul be peaceful forever!”

As soon as his voice fell, the soldiers followed in unison: “Tonight, with an incense cone and a dinner, I honour the tens of thousands of undead brothers of the Flying Wolf Division! May your soul be peaceful forever!”

Having said that, one of the soldiers looked at the food on the opposite side to see if it would decrease…

However, it did not! What were they doing, and what would this feast end up like? What’s this stuff about eating together?! 8VeEhp

At this time, Xu Yao said, “Okay, now everyone should taste the food that you have placed into the other meal box. These brothers have shared our pains alongside us in the past. I don’t think you would mind eating from the same utensils as your comrades now, right?”

Some soldiers, after they heard these words, immediately used their chopsticks to help themselves to the food on their opposite side, and wondered what their General was playing at. As a result, they were startled into silence as soon as they chewed the food!

There’s no smell and taste in this food!

No taste at all! RhfeKa

It was obviously food that they had hand-picked by themselves, and was even from the same meal box. But the food placed before them had taste. How come the one opposite had no taste at all?!

This rice I am eating is fake, and the food I am eating is fake! It’s all fake!

“Report!” Suddenly, someone in the crowd shouted excitedly and stood up, “General! Are these brothers still around?”

“Yes, they are. Present in front of each of you are one or even two of the brothers who had fought alongside us,” said Xu Yao. zTDmWd

“But we can’t see them. How do we communicate with them?”

“This question…” Xu Yao turned to Le Yao and asked, “Wife, why can Ji Fengyu write with incense ash, but they can’t?”

“That’s because no one has taught them that method,” replied Le Yao. “Brothers of the Dead, you have incense ashes in front of you. You had passed through all the material things you encountered before and you still haven’t found a proper way to transmit information to your living brothers. Now, you can do that. Try blowing onto the incense ash. Remember, blow lightly. The ashes will spread out flat and you can then write on them.”

The living soldiers suddenly saw a small pile of incense ashes appear in front of them, scatter into a flat layer on the surface of the table, and then different words appeared on the top of it… 1BcRAI

–Wan Dongxiao, you have become fat!

–Tuhao, guess who am I?

–Lao Yang, ha ha ha, are you scared?!

FML! They are really here!” The crowd didn’t know who was who, but they still jumped up with excitement. Undoubtedly, this reveal resulted in a guessing game for the identity of the comrade-in-arms opposite each of them, “Hong Bing, is that you?” A7QmYF

–Yes.

“Ah ah ah! You’re still here!”

“Brother Zhou, are you really Brother Zhou? Mother! If I had known before, I would have just given you all the meat!”

–It’s alright. I’ll come again tomorrow! oEjAQx

“Good! Whoever doesn’t come will become a grandson!”

The cafeteria buzzed as busily as the market, and it became lively to the point of explosion.

However, for the first time, Xu Yao didn’t stop them from making such a fuss. He pulled Le Yao away to light some incense and share a meal with the six undead youths. At the same time, Le Yao also called for Ji Fengyu and all his ghost brothers, so that they could also join the dinner party. The atmosphere that followed was extremely lively.

Not a holiday, but it is even better than a holiday! dr4Xjd

Wang Hao and his party: “…” Damn it, I’m too shocked to even speak!

  1. LOL, I forgot about Wang Hao. Truly, an eye opener!

  2. Then Wang Hao please don’t speak and keep it as a secret 😂😂

    • Eventually, once the planet starts having children being born, the dead who should have reincarnated into humans according to karma will begin to do so, so long as their resentful energy has been cast off. I imagine for many of these soldiers, just seeing their fellow soldiers alive and well, as well as their enemy contained, is enough to have them gladly enter reincarnation. They’re just going to have to wait in line behind the billions of other people of old earth.

  3. Am i the only one when the scene of undead soldier wrote on scattered ash and communicate with the living was so saddening? I almost bawl T.T

  4. This is too emotional 😭 I’m too emotional, I never liked ghost army plots(not my thing) but this is making me too emotional and makes me wanna read more with those plots 😭😭😭
