The Charm of a Powerful Woman Spreads Across the World

Chapter 98

Ru Feng smiled bitterly: "I don't know myself." Then he stopped talking and started eating.

Rong Yiying watched Ru Feng wolf down his food and said softly, "It seems you need to be careful." His words were full of hidden meaning, and Ru Feng rolled his eyes.

That evening, everyone was exhausted and few people went to take a shower. They all lay in bed without moving. Ru Feng watched Gao Yueqi walk in energetically from his bed. He had just finished showering and was showing off his bare upper body, which was muscular. No wonder he wasn't tired.

Seeing Ru Feng looking at him, Gao Yueqi nodded slightly to Ru Feng.

Ru Feng patted his chest, realizing he was the only one completely covered up. Looking at the others, almost all of them had their arms or something exposed, but most of them were students from the academy and not very rude, so Ru Feng thought the environment was quite nice.

Bai Shaojun jumped off the bed and called out, "Rufeng, let's go take a shower." He had a smile on his lips and looked very kind, but only Rufeng knew the malice that flashed in his eyes.

Ru Feng didn't answer, but just shook her head. Bai Shaojun revealed a sneer: "I forgot, some people look too effeminate, so they never bathe in public, just like a woman."

Ru Feng stared at him and said slowly, "I don't talk to pigs that haven't rinsed their mouths."

"You! Mu—Rufeng, you just wait and see!" Seeing Rong Yiying and Nanshan staring at him coldly, Bai Shaojun had no choice but to call a truce and wait for another battle.

Ru Feng watched Bai Shaojun's departing figure without saying a word.

Gao Yueqi then spoke up: "I've heard that you never shower with other people."

Ru Feng turned her gaze to him and smiled, "Your spirits are really high." As she spoke, she looked meaningfully at the people lying sprawled on the bed.

Gao Yue smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

That night, Ru Feng thought he wouldn't be able to sleep. The smell of his own sweat and that of other people's sweat was extremely uncomfortable, and he wished he could find water to pour over himself right away.

But late at night, Ru Feng was fast asleep, not caring about anything else, just wanting to sleep first.

The next day, during physical training, they ran with weights, running in circles with ten-pound sandbags strapped to their feet. Ru Feng was quite capable of handling it; this training wasn't a problem for her, so she appeared relatively relaxed.

As Ru Feng ran, he looked at Nan Shan and asked, "Nan Shan, are you alright?" Unlike Ru Feng, Nan Shan wasn't obsessed with martial arts. He was the most focused martial artist under the Ruthless Sword Sect and their key training target. Nan Shan was interested in other strange and unusual things, but not much in martial arts. However, under Ru Feng's coercion, he learned some lightness skills, but only to a rudimentary degree.

Nanshan, panting, replied, "Senior brother, it's alright, but I'm very tired. How long are we going to run?"

Ru Feng glanced at the people around him, most of whom looked tired. Then he looked at Ma Qingqiu, who was scolding him with a whip, and shook his head, saying, "We don't know yet. Just bear with it a little longer. Training like this will do you good."

As Ru Feng walked past Ma Qingqiu, he tried to compose himself by observing other people's expressions, but he didn't expect to be whipped like that. Ru Feng dodged to the side, stood still, looked at Ma Qingqiu's angry face, and shouted, "Why did you hit me?"

"If I don't hit you, who will I hit? You look exhausted. If you can't even handle this little bit of hardship, how will you go to the battlefield in the future? You might as well go back to being a breastfeeding mother." Ma Qingqiu raised his whip and lashed it around Ru Feng.

Ru Feng looked at him, trying to calm herself down, and said, "Then you can't hit me. I've never seen you hit anyone else."

“That’s because they all did a better job than you,” Ma Qingqiu said loudly.

Ru Feng was in a hurry, and after thinking about it, he decided to hold back and not want to cause a big fuss. So he stopped talking and took the opportunity to leave Ma Qingqiu's sphere of influence.

Then, the next step, like the wind's escape, added twenty pounds to each of her feet.

“I know you have some skill, and what you just did is nothing to you, so your training needs to be more rigorous than others.” Ma Qingqiu said very seriously, seemingly not finding anything wrong with it.

To Ru Feng's surprise, Gao Yueqi stood up and demanded to receive the same treatment as Ru Feng.

Everyone was shocked, looking at Gao Yueqi's calm and composed demeanor.

While everyone was resting at noon, Ru Feng and Gao Yueqi were still running.

Ru Feng's lips were already chapped. Looking at the bright sun overhead, she sighed, "Why would you ask for trouble?"

Gao Yueqi didn't look relaxed either; he was covered in sweat, but he still answered, "I want to break through my own limits."

“You will be a good soldier, and you will be a good general in the future,” Ru Feng suddenly said.

Gao Yueqi grinned and said, "I hope so. By the way, this isn't your usual personality, so I'm wondering why you're holding back now?"

Ru Feng remained silent for a while, then, after distancing himself from the crowd, said, "I'm too lazy to fight anymore." After a while, he added, "Could it be that you stayed with me just to ask this?"

Gao Yueqi then fell silent.

Finally, when they were almost exhausted, Ru Feng and Gao Yueqi were finally granted permission to rest.

Ru Feng suddenly collapsed beside Nan Shan, leaning against a tree and desperately drinking water.

Old ginger is spicier. Running under such a blazing sun is truly ruthless. My stamina wasn't completely drained, but all my moisture was evaporated.

Yang Wei moved closer and asked, "Ru Feng, why are you so indifferent to the Commandant's harassment?"

Ru Feng smiled lazily and said, "Haven't you heard? In the army, what you can do is called training, and what you can't do is called tempering. I'm being tempered right now."

“That’s right, Mu Rufeng.” Ma Qingqiu appeared out of nowhere and said, “That’s so well said, better than I expected. So after you finish your boxing practice this afternoon, come and clean up the place. Consider it a training exercise for you.”

Ru Feng stared wide-eyed at the vast space and the fallen leaves, and asked, "Me alone?"

Ma Qingqiu's expression was very serious, like a very stern superior: "You heard me right, listen carefully, from now on you cannot question any orders given to you, and you must obey all orders from your superiors!" Then he swept his stern eyes across the crowd, "No one is allowed to help!"

Ru Feng curled her lips and lowered her eyelids.

night

"What! It's my turn to patrol today?" Ru Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes again. He was just a new recruit. Why was he on night watch or patrolling? Wouldn't that mean he wouldn't get any sleep?

"This is a test! You questioned my orders, so you'll still be sweeping the field tomorrow, and then you'll have to run ten more laps, with thirty-pound sandbags strapped to your back!"

Ru Feng really wanted to faint, but she still kept her eyes wide open and stared at Ma Qingqiu's hateful, smug face.

Although everyone sympathized with him, they were powerless to help. They could only watch as Ru Feng, filled with the heroic spirit of "The wind howls, the Yi River is cold, the hero departs, never to return," left the tent at night.

Ru Feng walked around in her assigned area, looking at the identical tents. Ru Feng really didn't know where the marshal's tent was. After all, she was just a new recruit. How could she possibly know these things? Moreover, it was stipulated that new recruits should never go to places they shouldn't go. If they were found out, no matter what the reason, they would be dealt with according to military law.
