Doomsday Code

Chapter 1019 Heartbroken

Upon hearing Huidun's words, Adolf first looked up and then saw Chen Cheng behind Huidun.

"You mean this kid? I never thought of him."

Adolf spoke in a still very aggressive tone.

Melinda then adopted a stern demeanor and glared at Adolf.

When Adolf saw her gaze, he acted like a spoiled child and could only shut up.

At this moment, Chen Cheng walked in, wiped his face, and with a shake of his body, returned to his original appearance.

The atmosphere in the room instantly quieted down after Chen Cheng transformed.

Chen Cheng then mimed a stage curtain call, smiling as he looked at Adolf and the others, saying:

"The dean, professor, and two other teachers are me, Brown."

He thought he would be greeted with an exciting hug, but instead, Chen Cheng was met with two loud slaps across the face.

At this moment, Hui Dun, who was standing at the door, heard the sound of slapping, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily.

The sound was very exciting, but after the excitement, he also felt that Chen Cheng deserved it.

Feeling the burning pain in her palm, Melinda realized she hadn't misread it.

She then threw herself into Chen Cheng's arms and began to cry.

Chen Cheng touched his face, then patted Melinda's shoulder and said:

"No way, Ms. Melinda, you slapped me! I should be the one crying."

At this moment, Melinda punched Chen Cheng in the chest twice with her little fists, crying and cursing at the same time:

"You heartless bastard! You didn't prepare anything, and you just told me you were some emperor, then you left without saying goodbye and never heard from you again."

Have you ever thought about us, about us who worry about your safety day and night?

Could it be that you really are as heartless and ungrateful as those people say, and that everything you did with us before was just an act to cover your identity?

Melinda cried and cursed as she kicked and punched Chen Cheng like a madwoman, even biting him with her teeth.

This is a side of Melinda that no one has ever seen before. She's like a shrew who knows nothing and is worried about her husband who's away from home. After confirming that her husband is alright, she throws an endless tantrum and starts beating and scolding him.

Her purpose in doing this was to prevent her husband from suddenly leaving without a word and in danger, and then turning her into a statue waiting for her husband again.

If her relationship with Finnie was one of youthful innocence, then her relationship with Melinda was one of genuine, supportive marital bonds.

When he was still a slave, Melinda had already planned things out for him and herself: he only needed to focus on his spiritual practice, and he would naturally be able to break free from slavery in the future.

She would persuade Adolf to help Huidun seize the throne, and then dissolve her engagement with Huidun.

The days that followed were filled with mutual support and companionship until old age.

Although Chen Cheng's intervention ultimately prevented the situation from developing in the direction Melinda had initially planned.

However, Melinda still advised Chen Cheng not to get too involved in Huidun's political struggles, but to calm down and focus on his studies and spiritual practice.

Just when Chen Cheng had agreed to her proposal, and she had dissolved her engagement with Huidun, and it seemed that their future was going to proceed as planned,

Chen Cheng, however, suddenly went from being a slave to becoming the emperor of the empire, and then embarked on a path of exile.

For someone as simple-minded as her, this was almost like the sky falling down.

Seeing Melinda throwing a tantrum in his arms, Chen Cheng didn't stop her, but let her vent her frustrations.

Because he was very clear about Melinda's feelings for him, and although he had never given Melinda a direct answer from beginning to end, at this moment his aching heart was telling him that he had fallen for her.

Perhaps she was tired of crying, Melinda released her lips from biting Chen Cheng's shoulder.

Through his clothes, you could see the blood seeping out from where Melinda had bitten him.

When Melinda tasted the blood in her mouth, she realized with shock what she had done.

She raised her hand to touch Chen Cheng's shoulder, and Chen Cheng grabbed her hand and said:

"Teacher, you have amazing teeth! You even managed to bite through my thick skin."

Chen Cheng's tone still carried a hint of amusement.

"Alright, teacher, I know you'll be very excited to see such an outstanding student as me again, but now that you're done being excited, can you let me go?"

At this moment, Isabel also came up. Seeing this, Chen Cheng waved his hand and chuckled mischievously:

"Let's not do this. One teacher is already ruthless enough. If you do it again, Isabel, I'm afraid I'll lose both of my shoulders."

Isabel's eyes were also red. After hearing Chen Cheng's words, she glared at him and then pulled Melinda away from Chen Cheng's arms, saying:

"Stay away from that filthy scoundrel. You were so close to him just now. Don't be fooled by his pained expression; he's probably secretly enjoying himself with those filthy thoughts."

Because Isabel had been cared for by her teacher Adolf since childhood, she was often less sensitive to topics than Isabel, a noble lady who left home halfway through the family struggle.

Chen Cheng's previous seemingly joking remarks actually indicated that he could not possibly have any other relationship with Chen Cheng besides that of a teacher and student.

This is not only because of his current status, but also because of his protection of Melinda and the others.

Although Chen Cheng returned cautiously, there are no true secrets in this world, and it's possible that what happened today will be found out.

If those guys find out that Chen Cheng has a confidante here, given their madness, they're probably capable of anything.

Melinda didn't hold on, and was pulled aside by Isabel.

Chen Cheng then winked at Isabel for a while, before turning to Adolf and the other man and saying:

"Professors, I've dragged you into this."

The trouble Chen Cheng was referring to was certainly not because his identity was exposed, which forced the two of them to hide.

He apologized because it was because of him that Adolf and his companion lost their status in the Academy Alliance.

Otherwise, given their alliance status, it would have been impossible for Huidun to arrange for them to come here to conduct research.

Although the academy and the kingdom coexist, and in many cases the academy is even dependent on the local kingdom.

However, there is still one point: the power to appoint and dismiss professors and deans in each magic academy does not lie with their own kingdom, but with the alliance.

Now that the two are no longer teaching and have been assigned here, there's only one explanation: they've been expelled by the Academy Alliance.

Otherwise, even if they no longer teach, they will still be members of the alliance and will have to report their situation to the alliance every once in a while.

Even if Huidun had a very good relationship with him, he would never send two people from the Academy Alliance here.
