Rebirth Counterattack: I Heard That the Imperial Marshal Has a Crush on Me

Nicholas II, who boasted of causing stars to shake with a stomp and could even intimidate Lu Junzhi. Clearly, he lacked the strength to match such claims.

After a few rounds of back-and-forth, he was already beaten to the point of being unable to fight back.

During this period, Chu Muxi even indulged in half a box of ice cream.

He felt like he could finish a whole box, but Lu Junzhi wouldn’t allow him to eat that much.

“Eating too much will make you sick,” Lu Junzhi said calmly, taking the remaining half of the box from his hand without mercy and stuffing it directly into the hands of Zhao Lei, who had come to report after the battle. “Put it away.”

Zhao Lei’s face was dirty, but upon closer inspection, Chu Muxi realized it wasn’t from the fight. “These things on your face—”

“Huh? The boss said we have to continue acting. We need to be more realistic. After all, we just experienced a battle, so we got some ashes and rubbed them on our faces, hehehe.”

Just as he was talking, someone else was brought in from the other side.

As soon as Xu Yuanhang, who had reverted to his own appearance, entered, he immediately noticed Lu Junzhi sitting in the driver’s seat. He put his feet together, straightened his body, and saluted. “Hello, Marshal!”

“Hello,” Lu Junzhi nodded.

Chu Muxi leaned forward with a smile and asked, “Brother Xu, do you still recognize me?”

Xu Yuanhang immediately smiled and said, “Muxi, no, young master.”

Chu Muxi waved his hand, “No, no, no. Just call me by my name. Let’s be friends as equals; there’s no need to be polite.”

Xu Yuanhang’s smile became more sincere this time. In fact, when asked to pretend to be Chu Muxi, the young master whom he had met only a few times as a child, didn’t leave much of an impression on him.

He still remembered the first time they met when the other party was holding a ball across the garden, swaying and stumbling towards him.

Almost falling in front of him, Xu Yuanhang extended his hand to hold him up. The little boy asked softly: “Brother, who are you?”

“Brother Xu? Brother Xu?”

Xu Yuanhang snapped back to reality, seeing Chu Muxi looking at him with a puzzled face.

He hurriedly asked, “Ah, what’s the matter?”

“It’s nothing. You’ve worked hard, so go and have a good rest,” Chu Muxi said with a smile.

Xu Yuanhang couldn’t help but glance at Lu Junzhi beside him. When their eyes met, he suddenly trembled and thought to himself: Why did he find Marshal Lu’s eyes a bit intimidating?

.

Zhou Xu took the person away and effortlessly grasped the thoughts racing through the other person’s mind. He mused to himself: ‘Who made you stare at Young Master Chu’s face in a daze just now?’

After assessing Xu Yuanhang from head to toe, he seemed fine. Let him commented. Besides the rumor that everyone in the deep space fleet was an elite, there was also speculation that facial appearance played a crucial role in their selection.

Undeniably, when their team members were brought out, each one was a handsome and upright individual.

But truth be told, they genuinely didn’t prioritize looks in their selection process. After all, on the battlefield, who cared if they were handsome or not? Relying on looks would just be giving the other party an advantage.

Zhou Xu pondered where these rumors originated and decided to investigate thoroughly upon returning.

A certain military doctor sneezed again, muttering to himself, “Strange, why are so many people talking about me recently?”

.

As Xu Yuanhang followed Zhou Xu out of the cockpit, Chu Muxi turned his wrist, saying, “Is it my turn now?”

Since Chu Tianhao had received news from the pirate group, the next step was likely to contact him.

After a while, a stranger entered, carrying a small box.

“Marshal, Young Master Chu.” This person was also one of Lu Junzhi’s subordinates. After greetings, he kept sneaking glances at Chu Muxi.

Chu Muxi had been attracting a lot of attention in the past two days. Wherever he went, when he encountered Lu Junzhi’s subordinates, they pretended to look away while secretly glancing at him.

It was not a malicious peep, just pure curiosity.

Therefore, Chu Muxi didn’t feel any discomfort and let them took a look. After all, he wouldn’t be missing any pieces of himself.

“This is Taha,” Lu Junzhi said.

The young man named Taha still wore torn clothes and pants, with exaggerated black eye makeup. His real face couldn’t be seen clearly, and his voice sounded like he was in his early twenties.

Scratching his head, he sheepishly introduced himself: “I’m a communications soldier in the team. Um, I’ll come over and put on makeup for you.”

“Make-up?” Chu Muxi twitched his lips, thinking of the others’ exaggerated makeup. “Um, you applied all their makeup?”

“Huh? Yes, they look good right, hehehe. We used to pretend to be pirates and fight other groups, and I applied all the makeup for them. Later, I heard even some small pirate groups adopted my style.” He said with some pride.

Chu Muxi, for a moment, didn’t know whether to complain about why he was so proud of this matter or to complain about those interstellar pirates who would follow suit.

This truly was a magical universe.

“Okay, but I don’t need to put on makeup like yours, just make me look a bit gray.” Chu Muxi didn’t want to wear smoky makeup and weird clothes.

Even if he wanted to trick Chu Tianhao, he still had principles! Smoky eye makeup was definitely not allowed!

Taha smiled, “Of course not, you don’t have to pretend to be a pirate.” He asked Chu Muxi to sit down on the chair and opened his small box.

Chu Muxi glanced at the contents. Although he didn’t recognize most of them, they seemed quite comprehensive at first glance. There were numerous bottles and cans, but he paid them only a few glances; he had no use for them anyway.

After sitting down, Taha examined him closely and couldn’t help but praise: “Young Master Chu, your skin is so good—moist and tender, without any blemishes.”

Chu Muxi twitched the corner of his mouth, “Thank you, thank you for the compliment.” Complimenting a man on his supple skin didn’t necessarily imply that he was a girl, right?

Taha chuckled, took out a bottle from the box, unscrewed it, squeezed a bit into the palm of his hand, wiped it away, and then applied it to Chu Muxi’s face.

Just as his hand was about to touch Chu Muxi’s face, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist.

Chu Muxi and Taha were both stunned when they saw Lu Junzhi staring at Taha’s hand with a serious expression. “I’ll do it.”

“Huh?” Taha was momentarily stunned and didn’t react. “Um, boss, you haven’t done it before…”

“I can learn. If you instruct me, I’ll do it.” Lu Junzhi opened his hand to the side, expressing no emotion.

Chu Muxi’s eyes flashed; he thought of something, raised his eyebrows, and couldn’t help but raise the corners of his mouth.

‘Marshal Lu, are you jealous?’
