Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Off to Save the Beauty

“I weep, my heart filled with sorrow and joy, a cruel trick of the heavens.

I laugh, I rage, I’m mad, as wind and clouds surge through heaven and earth.

…

One wild laugh, one long sigh, a lifetime of bliss.

A lifetime of sorrow, who will share my fate, my life and death!”

Without a doubt, this song and its accompanying sword dance were once again driving the Star Network wild.

The netizens in the livestream were wailing in despair.

[Damn it, I was just in line for Moonlight and was number 3,000,001!

I told Uncle Kang I’d sit on my bro’s lap, but he still wouldn’t let me in!!]

[What a coincidence! I offered to sit on my friend’s shoulders. I could have even squatted under a table or hung from the ceiling!

But Uncle Kang refused. He wouldn’t agree to anything, waaaah…]

[I’m begging you people, can you not be so competitive? I went at two in the afternoon, and there was already a line.]

[LMAO, my friend and I tried camping out in front of Moonlight last night, but we got chased away. Uncle Kang said it wouldn’t count.]

[For fairness, Moonlight’s new rule is that only the line starting at 2 PM counts. It’s to stop people from showing up in the middle of the night or having others hold their spot.]

[Only Moonlight could get away with a rule like that. Any other bar would go out of business.]

…

Wen Xueli was a fervent fan of Jiang Qin, so she attended practically every performance.

Females received preferential treatment; they were allowed priority entry and were assigned an entire booth.

Besides her own partner, she would sometimes also bring along some male group members she got along well with.

She wasn’t the only one; the other females in the groups did the same.

To them, if you liked Jiang Qin, you were a friend!

So, the males in the groups had an extra chance to get in compared to others.

After all, Jiang Qin still had a huge number of female fans.

You could tell just by looking at all the different kinds of Spiritual Bodies on the stage.

Wei Chen couldn’t help but feel they hadn’t been developing a deserted star for half a year, but for ten years. ’Otherwise, how could he not understand this world anymore?’

’Soothing masters are females who can dance, sing, write lyrics and music, shoot movies, and produce animation?’

’Not only can she use her singing to bring out Spiritual Bodies for deep soothing, but she can also make other females’ Spiritual Bodies come out to work?’

’But most importantly, isn’t this just a massive, group soothing session?’

’How can one female compare to an entire group?’

It wasn’t as if scientists hadn’t researched this in the past.

But it was obvious they couldn’t do it. They couldn’t make a female’s Spiritual Body appear outside of a mating context.

And if they wanted to achieve group deep soothing…

Just thinking about the scene was enough to give people lewd ideas.

The Interstellar era was a civilized society. There was no way a public… situation like that… would be allowed to happen.

Later, the scientists thought they could settle for the next best thing.

Having a group of females perform a simple spiritual power soothing would be fine.

But unexpectedly, that didn’t work either. When the females released their spiritual power together, their spiritual powers would actually attack the other females’ Spirit Seas.

Several females with lower Spiritual Power Levels were crippled on the spot.

And after the attack, the High-level females’ spiritual power also suffered trauma.

All the scientists who proposed that experiment were imprisoned because of the incident.

From then on, all females were forbidden from performing soothings together and could only do them separately.

In the females’ soothing classes, teachers would stress it again and again.

They were not to use their spiritual power at the same time as other females, because it was highly likely to go out of control and result in them attacking each other.

But what was he seeing now?

’Other females’ Spiritual Bodies are dancing around the Spiritual Body of the soothing master on stage???’

’This world has finally become a place he no longer recognizes.’

Seeking validation, Wei Chen tentatively asked Yun Xie, “Brother Xie, we’ve actually been on that Deserted Star for ten years, right?”

“Why don’t you open your Light Computer and see for yourself.”

Yun Xie’s voice was still a bit listless, but he was clearly more relaxed.

Seeing Wei Chen actually open his Light Computer to check the date, he let out a sneer.

“That’s right, we’ve only been away from the Federation for half a year.”

“But how did the world change into something we don’t recognize?”

“Since when can females perform group deep soothings? And how have they not been taken away for doing this??”

“What’s wrong with the Federation’s scientists? This isn’t their style, is it?”

Yun Xie took a drag from an Inhibitor, his voice hoarse. “Maybe they can’t do it openly, so they have to do it in secret.”

Thinking of the energy fluctuations he had felt since entering, a knowing smile touched Yun Xie’s lips.

Then, he stuck the Inhibitor between his lips.

He put his hands in his pockets, stood up, walked to the railing, and leaped down.

Wei Chen, a step too slow, only heard a muffled sentence: “Let’s go. I’ll take you to save the damsel.”

’Save the damsel?? Who’s the damsel?’

Before he could figure it out, the sound of explosions suddenly rang in his ears. All the lights in the bar burst.

BOOM—

“Ahh!!”

“It’s an attack! Protect the females!”

…

All the males immediately pulled their female companions into their arms to protect them.

Aside from being startled when the bar plunged into darkness, they mostly didn’t feel much fear.

Wen Xueli looked anxiously toward the stage. “Qin Bao! Qin Bao is still on stage!!”

“Someone, hurry! Go save Qin Bao! They must be after her again!!”

“Those damned Star Thieves are here again.”

“Everyone, go protect Qin Bao!”

This was where the different uses of beast forms became apparent.

Some Beastmen had beast forms that came with their own lights, like the giant white dog that was currently glowing.

The light from its body was like a moon rising inside the bar.

However, Jiang Qin couldn’t see any of this, because she was being held tightly in Shi Lichuan’s arms.

What she touched was hard white bone and soft belly fur.

’To think I’d get to pet a mutated version of a panda in the Interstellar era.’

*

With the security team, the Bounty Hunter bodyguards, and the help of several enthusiastic patrons, the attacking group was quickly brought under control.

New light fixtures were immediately brought out.

Zhu Yongkang made a call to have the Law Enforcement Team come and take the group of about a hundred people away.

Once he confirmed it was safe, Shi Lichuan returned to his human form.

Jiang Qin quickly checked him over. “Are you hurt?”

Faced with her intimate concern, the tips of Shi Lichuan’s ears turned red, and the corners of his mouth lifted. “No.”

Although some people had indeed attacked him, their weak attacks hadn’t caused him any harm.

After confirming he was really okay, Jiang Qin finally relaxed.

Only then did she walk over to Zhu Yongkang.

Seeing her approach, Zhu Yongkang took the opportunity to make an introduction. “Miss Jiang, this is Mr. Yun. We have him to thank for catching an S-level male who was hiding inside one of the light fixtures.

Otherwise, we never would have found him.”

The man had been smuggled in, hidden inside a new light fixture that was just installed—one of the lights right above the stage.

Moreover, he was carrying a lot of high-tech devices used for creating chaos, concealment, and other purposes.

If no one had discovered that male just now, it’s possible he might have succeeded in lying in wait.

That was why Zhu Yongkang had been thanking Yun Xie profusely.

Of course, all the other customers who helped had to be thanked as well, and the frightened patrons also needed compensation and soothing.
