A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 152: Shi Lichuan Arrives

Five males stood in a reserved line before Jiang Qin, introducing themselves one by one.

"Hello, Miss Jiang. My name is Wei Chen. I grew up with Brother Xie."

"Hello, Miss Jiang. I’m Jin Ming, the leader’s teammate."

These two were the youngest of the five. The remaining three, who looked a bit older, were Pique, Lu Feng, and Ma Hui.

Jiang Qin smiled politely and introduced herself as well. "Hello, everyone. I’m Jiang Qin."

"Alright, you’ve met. Now, get lost."

As soon as the introductions were over, Yun Xie started shooing them away.

The five of them weren’t clueless. They had only come today to convince Yun Xie to stop sending them away.

Now that they had persuaded him, they naturally wouldn’t disturb the two of them while they were alone.

After they all left, Yun Xie asked, "Are you tired? Do you want to go upstairs and rest for a while?"

Although she wasn’t very tired, Jiang Qin nodded and went upstairs.

Back in her room, she hurriedly replied to everyone’s messages.

First was a message from You Wei, to which she replied that she was safe, and then another from Zhu Yongkang.

He told her she didn’t have to go to work for the time being, as Central City was under a full lockdown to capture the Star Thieves.

There were also messages from others checking in on her.

And a message from Cang Hong, asking where she was, if she was safe, and saying he wanted to come find her.

Jiang Qin had seen this morning’s top trending topic.

Interspersed among the topics about her was another one:

#Famous Singer Cang Hong Rushes Back to Central City, Breaking Contract Overnight After Hearing of Jiang Qin’s Incident#

The topic included photos of a heavily disguised Cang Hong arriving at the ferry port in the early hours of the morning.

Thinking of this, she asked with concern: [I saw the trending topic. Did you really break your contract?]

Cang Hong: [Yes. Don’t worry, my agent is already negotiating the penalty fee.]

[Because of me?]

Cang Hong: [I was worried. I want to come and be with you. I’m very useful.]

’An S-level Black-winged Lion would naturally be useful.’

Jiang Qin was just a bit stunned. ’She really didn’t understand why these males liked her.’

’After all, their Levels were all high; it wasn’t as if there were no females who wanted them.’

’Why... act so humbly toward a C-level female like her?’

Jiang Qin: [I know. You’re very impressive.]

Cang Hong cautiously continued: [Then... can I come and keep you company? If there’s any danger, I can protect you.]

[There’s no need. I’ll be back soon.]

Cang Hong: [Alright then. Just call me if you need me.]

[Thank you.]

...

After replying to Cang Hong, there was Bai Mufeng.

He was part of the mission to hunt down the Star Thieves and had been busy since last night.

And as for Shi Lichuan, a message he’d just sent said that he had already arrived outside Yun Xie’s house.

What surprised Jiang Qin, however, was that there were several blocked communication attempts on her Light Computer.

The number looked somewhat familiar; it was probably Jiang Ruhai’s. ’What does he want?’

’Whatever it is, I have no intention of taking the Jiang Family off my blacklist.’

Ignoring it, she went back to replying to the messages from people worried about her.

The Xie sisters felt extremely guilty for not realizing someone had snuck into her room last night.

’Jiang Qin felt they couldn’t be blamed at all.’

’That group of Star Thieves were almost all high-Level males. They had also undergone genetic modification and possessed all sorts of strange abilities.’

’Forget two Half-beastman females; even Shi Lichuan had only discovered the Beastman after he had already infiltrated the room.’

’It was a good thing he was there guarding her room. If she had insisted on staying by herself, she might have been smuggled out of the Federation before anyone even noticed she was missing.’

Realizing he was right outside the villa, Jiang Qin quickly opened her door and hurried downstairs.

In the living room, Yun Xie was sitting on the sofa, a look of displeasure on his face.

At the moment, he found bears annoying, and cats too.

However, the moment Jiang Qin came downstairs, all his negative feelings vanished. He looked at her, his eyes smiling.

"What is it?"

"My boyfriend is outside. Can I let him in?"

The two words, "my boyfriend," stabbed into Yun Xie’s heart like a knife, but his expression remained impassive.

’What’s a boyfriend? So what if he was her mate?’

’He wasn’t here to break up her family; he was here to join it.’

To avoid upsetting Jiang Qin, he of course expressed that her boyfriend was more than welcome.

When Shi Lichuan came in, his gaze immediately locked onto Jiang Qin, and a cold glint flashed in Yun Xie’s eyes.

’This bear is so annoying, finding his way here this quickly.’

"Qinqin, are you alright?"

Seeing his battered appearance, Jiang Qin grew a little worried herself. "I’m fine. Are you and everyone else okay?"

Although she had learned from her Light Computer that the bodyguards were only injured and their lives weren’t in danger, she still felt uneasy not having seen them with her own eyes.

She wasn’t just worried about Shi Lichuan; she was worried about the others as well.

They had been together for so long, and the thought of them lying in pools of blood terrified her.

"Everyone’s fine. They just have some minor injuries. They’ll be good as new after a few days in the Healing Pods.

The Xie sisters are fine, too."

"That’s good." Jiang Qin breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, Shi Lichuan dropped to his knees.

!!!

"What’s wrong? Are your legs injured?"

That’s right. Jiang Qin had considered that he might be too injured to stand properly, but it had never crossed her mind that he was kneeling to apologize.

"I’m sorry, Qinqin. I can never protect you properly." Shi Lichuan was filled with self-blame.

"This has nothing to do with you. Beastmen have all sorts of bizarre abilities. They knew you were by my side, so naturally they’d send a Beastman who could counter you."

"No, it’s because I’m still not strong enough."

Jiang Qin: "...Alright, then let’s keep trying our best and become stronger together, okay?

Now hurry up and get up."

Since she was the one helping him up, Shi Lichuan didn’t dare to insist, lest he displease her.

After he stood up, he said with a determined expression, "Once you’re safe after this, I’m going to take a mission to pioneer on a Wild Star."

Pioneering not only hones a Beastman’s combat abilities, but it also offers the chance to find rare natural treasures that can make one stronger.

Even if it doesn’t increase spiritual power, it can still train one’s physical body and humanoid form’s abilities.

Or even make their spiritual power stronger.

Jiang Qin, of course, wouldn’t obstruct his desire to become stronger, so she offered him some words of encouragement.

"Ahem." Seeing that the two of them had completely forgotten his presence, Yun Xie coughed, displeased.

His gaze toward Shi Lichuan grew even more irritated.

Jiang Qin quickly explained, "Mr. Yun helped me again this time, so I’m staying here temporarily. I’ll go back once all the Star Thieves have been captured."

Shi Lichuan didn’t ask why she had to stay at Yun Xie’s house when there were plenty of other safe places.

’The safest places would be the Female Protection Center or the Law Enforcement Department, wouldn’t they?’

’He only knew that Jiang Qin must have a reason for her decision.’

’Shi Lichuan guessed that Qinqin had most likely taken a liking to this man, so he took a serious look at the male before him.’

’Good-looking and powerful; his only flaw was a short lifespan.’

’If Yun Xie could live longer, he would actually be very supportive of Jiang Qin taking him as a mate.’

’After all, he’d been truly terrified by these last two incidents.’

’Just as Qinqin had said, the Star Thieves knew he was protecting her and would assign Beastmen specifically to counter his abilities.’

’Therefore, it was very difficult for him to protect Qinqin completely on his own.’

’If she had one more powerful guardian...’
