Chapter 14 Where is the General's Bottom Line?
Jiang Nuo wakes up in a prison cell.

Although it was a prison cell, the four white walls were very clean, and the room had been cleaned by a specialist. In the corner, a blanket was laid out, and a handcuffed girl was curled up in a ball, like a kitten.

Upon waking, Jiang Nuo stared at the shackles on her hands. She hadn't been this weak before, but since meeting Xuan Yan, her emotions had fluctuated greatly. Most importantly, she felt that these handcuffs would suppress her mental strength.

Very uncomfortable feeling.

But strangely, the spiritual energy within her, which could have surged at any moment, seemed to have stabilized somewhat.

"Xiao Cheng, are these handcuffs related to my mental power?"

[Yes, host. These handcuffs contain a powerful binding force, likely intended for male orcs whose mental energy has entered a berserk state.]

But this is a form of forced suppression.

Of course it will make people uncomfortable and painful.

"Does it work for me?"

Yes, but since you are pregnant now, your mental energy will not be overflowing with turmoil during your pregnancy, so it has no effect for the time being.

"Oh."

Jiang Nuo responded, meaning that she would not be in the same state as she was in the Desolate Starfield.

However, she is now like a prisoner, so how can she get out?
Theo...do you already know that she has been captured?
Jiang Nuo unconsciously recalled the gentle figure of the young man, the one who had taken such good care of her.

She seems to be...

I was thinking about him subconsciously.

...

"Click."

At that moment, the door unlocked, and Phil, dressed in military uniform, walked in. But when he saw the girl huddled in the corner, his pupils constricted and his face turned serious.

The scene is filled with a sense of brokenness: a prison cell, handcuffs, a girl whose face is pale due to her delicate appearance.

"Is this what you mean by being healthy?" Phil asked the medical staff behind him, frowning.

The disdainful look in his eyes made the medical staff tremble involuntarily. They quickly bowed their heads respectfully and said, "Yes, Your Excellency, the highest-ranking medical team in the legion has conducted a full examination on this female lady, and she is in good health."

"only……"

The medical staff paused, then couldn't help but glance at Jiang Nuo before continuing, "This female lady is emotionally unstable, and coupled with the lack of nourishment during her pregnancy, most importantly, the mental handcuffs she's wearing are making her feel somewhat uncomfortable."

It's no wonder the medical staff lacked confidence. This "serious criminal" who was brought in was on the highest order issued by the Temple of the Beast God, and he was already handcuffed when he arrived. Even the lower-level staff didn't dare to say anything carelessly!

General Phil stood at the doorway, his eyes never leaving the girl in the corner.

Jiang Nuo noticed that an outsider had entered. She slowly propped herself up, then leaned against the wall, bent her knees and hugged her legs, resting her chin on her knees. Perhaps this posture could give her a little sense of security.

This scene, however, deeply stung General Phil's eyes, because the girl in his eyes was so helpless and weak, as if she could arouse his impulsive protective instincts.

"Xuan Yan, you pervert."

Phil cursed under his breath again, then strode forward and walked to the girl's side.

This is hardly a serious criminal; on the contrary, his current actions resemble those of a sadist.

Abusing a beautiful, innocent, and vulnerable female would cast a shadow over his heart.

"Miss Jiang Nuo, is that right?"

Perhaps disliking the view from above, Phil knelt down, completely disregarding the fact that the hem of his military overcoat had fallen to the ground and gotten a little dusty.

Jiang Nuo looked up, her watery eyes meeting his, and then nodded slightly to General Phil.

"Sir, are you here to rescue me?" The girl's voice was soft and sweet, her pale face tinged with pink, and her expression was pitiful. Just sitting there with her knees drawn up was enough to stir the nerves of any man.

Phil couldn't help but swallow hard, as if he were making a difficult decision.

"My head hurts a lot. Can you remove this for me?" the girl said, extending her slender arm.

The handcuffs were on his wrists.

Although Jiang Nuo presented herself as innocent and harmless, she was actually quite calm inside. She wanted to escape this situation.

We have to rely on others.

She cannot rely entirely on Theo to save her; she must seize every opportunity to save herself.

She could read the emotions in the eyes of the male in front of her; he seemed reluctant to hurt her and also sympathized with her plight.

This would be an excellent opportunity.

“Miss Jiang Nuo, my name is Phil, and I am a general in the First Legion under the Beast God Temple. May I ask where you come from? Which star system or empire do you belong to? Is there any record of your identity?”

Although he didn't believe the girl in front of him was a serious criminal, as a general, Phil was in charge of the legion's ironclad rules, which were ingrained in his very being.

Jiang Nuo's lips trembled slightly, her voice extremely soft: "I'm sorry, I don't remember. When I woke up, I was in the Desolate Starfield. It was Lord Theo Castile of the Virtual Star Kingdom who saved me. I was on a spaceship when I was forcibly captured by the Lord of Xuan Yan Palace. General... is there anything else to interrogate?"

审?
This word made Phil's heart skip a beat.

Yes, his attitude was like an interrogation.

In the past, only those interstellar criminals who were captured by the legions and imprisoned were subjected to multiple interrogations.

But the girl in front of me...

“No, Miss Jiang Nuo, I was just asking as a formality. This is not an interrogation.” General Phil, who was usually serious, even managed a slight smile. “Besides, I’ve finished asking, and I have no more questions.”

When the medical staff behind saw this scene, they were completely stunned. In their impression, General Phil had always acted decisively and ruthlessly. When had he ever been so perfunctory?

This is absolutely unprecedented.

"thank you……"

"No, I didn't do anything, you don't need to thank me." Hearing the girl's soft words of thanks, Phil felt his heart clench even tighter, and even felt a little guilty and uneasy.

Beneath the brim of his military cap was short, dark brown hair, long, thick eyelashes, and sharp features. His icy aura seemed to have been deliberately concealed. Beside the girl, he was like a tiger with a kingly presence, who had suddenly transformed into a warm and loving big cat.

The scene was somewhat incongruous and a little comical.

Jiang Nuo smiled slightly as she looked at the man: "But I remember, didn't the Palace Master say before that he would lock me in the deepest, darkest place in the dungeon... But this place is not dark or cold, and he even prepared a blanket for me. I know that you did this for me, thank you."

After saying that, the girl reached out her arm and gently grabbed Phil's sleeve. She was very weak, and it seemed that she could easily break free with a flick of her wrist, but Phil let the girl hold on like that without any intention of refusing.

"Mr. Phil, you've already saved me once, could you... save me again?"

Phil's gaze gradually moved downwards, and he looked at the girl's hand that was clutching his sleeve. The handcuffs on her slender wrists were so glaring!
"I'm really upset, I really am..."

The girl pursed her lips, her pale face looking as if she might lose consciousness at any moment.

"Please help me."

These soul-stirring whispers made Phil unable to hold back any longer. After hesitating for only two seconds, he quickly took out a slender gold key from his pocket and inserted it into Jiang Nuo's handcuffs.

With a slight click, the gleaming gold handcuffs were unlocked and slid to the ground.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you away."

Phil picked Jiang Nuo up in his arms. Only when he actually touched the girl's body did he realize how soft and gentle she was, making him want to take care of her. He suddenly felt a strong urge to take care of her.

Jiang Nuo rested her head on Phil's broad chest, her bloodless lips moving slightly, as if she were releasing her emotions, or perhaps giving a triumphant smile.

……

General Phil of the First Army carried the "serious criminal" out of the dungeon.

The rumor spread very quickly.

The soldiers of the legion were filled with disbelief.

What is the general's bottom line?

What about the rules?
Broken!

Thank you so much for your votes, my darlings! Love you all! Sending you lots of love~
