Chapter 157: Chapter 157: Yijiangnan

In the end, Jiang Qin decided to let Lan Yuyan stay.

She took out her pipa.

She wasn’t in the mood to sing, so she prepared to play a pipa piece called “Yijiangnan.”

It was a quiet but beautiful piece.

With Yun Xie acting as a personal fog machine beside her, she was completely shrouded in mist.

Her two-person audience gazed at her, their eyes filled with adoration.

No one could resist Jiang Qin when she was focused; her beauty was enough to make one’s heart tremble.

An instrumental pipa piece, with no lyrics or singing, was still a feast for the ears.

The three of them gradually settled into the mood.

Jiang Qin closed her eyes, her fingers plucking the strings, savoring the beautiful notes.

Lan Yuyan, his mood now calm, also closed his eyes. He curled his paws, lay on the sofa listening in enjoyment, and even let out a soft purr.

Even Yun Xie, who harbored deep hostility toward him, found his murderous intent purified by the music.

He leaned back slightly on the sofa and closed his eyes to listen.

The love in his heart surged like a tidal wave.

At this moment, all he wanted was to be close to his female master, far away from the storms of the outside world.

She played the piece over and over for half an hour.

Both males fell into a deep sleep.

When Jiang Qin stopped, she rose silently, not wanting to disturb their rare, peaceful slumber.

For Interstellar People, sleep was something that absolutely could not be disturbed.

It was the kind of thing you’d cut off anyone who interrupted you over.

One could only imagine how rare it was for them to enter a deep sleep.

Their Genes were one factor, but another was being in a constant state of high alert, unable to relax.

…

But Jiang Qin hadn’t expected that once the two of them fell asleep, they would sleep until nine o’clock at night.

When Yun Xie woke up, he felt refreshed and clear-headed, as if the heavy feeling that had always weighed down his body had vanished.

His mood, in particular, was calmer than it had ever been.

The constant irritability was gone, as was the agitated excitement.

Even the sight of the cat lying on the other end of the sofa wasn’t as grating.

Not that he gave it a pleasant look, of course.

Seeing that Jiang Qin wasn’t in the living room, he hurried upstairs to find her.

After he left, the slumbering Lan Yuyan also woke up.

For a moment, his eyes were filled with confusion, a dazed feeling of not knowing what day or year it was.

Once he was fully awake, he too felt the change in his body.

The pain from before had disappeared. His Spirit Sea was no longer churning; instead, it had calmed significantly. His body felt it, too.

The bloodthirsty impulse was gone as well.

He knew this was the result of Jiang Qin’s soothing.

Lan Yuyan felt a pang of worry. ’Her ability is truly strange, and her spiritual power… it’s probably not C-level.’

’A female like her is just too dangerous.’

’There are far too many High-level males in the Interstellar who are afraid of dying. They won’t let go of even the slightest possibility of extending their own lives.’

’Especially since these people are all wealthy and powerful.’

After some thought, he took a spare Light Computer out of his Space Button and operated it for a while with his cat paws before putting it away.

***

Lan Yuyan had stayed ever since that day.

Jiang Qin was secretly keeping a close watch on his emotional state.

She noticed that he was starting to steal glances at her for longer and longer periods, and the emotion in his eyes was becoming increasingly difficult to hide.

For the past few days, she had been subtly trying to attract him.

Yun Xie included.

Yun Xie’s feelings for her were already intense enough, but now they had reached the point where he wished he could hide her away from the world, yet couldn’t bear to let her suffer for even a second.

Staying in the villa recently had become a bit boring.

Plus, she wanted the system’s next gift package, so she decided to start a livestream.

She had to soothe Lan Yuyan every day anyway.

As for Yun Xie? Heh, he was a VIP, the recipient of deep soothing.

The moment the livestream started, fans flooded in. The viewer count instantly surpassed ten million, reaching over one hundred million people.

[Qin Bao woke up so early today! Did you get up just to see the good news?]

[This is great! The Star Thieves have been caught, and the rest have left the Main Star. Qin Bao is completely safe now!]

[Qin Bao, Qin Bao, when are you going back to work? I still prefer seeing you live in person.]

[I don’t get it. Why would that group of Star Thieves target a C-level female?]

…

Jiang Qin had only woken up a short while ago and hadn’t actually seen today’s news.

Seeing everyone in the comments talking about the good news, she didn’t have time to say anything else and quickly operated her Light Computer to check the trending topics on the Star Network.

Sure enough, she saw the announcement from the Law Enforcement Team.

The announcement stated that most of the Star Thieves had been captured. One SS-level male had been injured in a fight with Commander Mo Chen and had fled.

It also said they had thoroughly investigated the Star Thieves who had recently infiltrated the Main Star again, dealing a heavy blow to the Star Thief forces.

Central City had now been completely swept, and there were no more Star Thief Gangs.

Furthermore, Commander Mo Chen was leading the First Army to encircle and suppress the Star Thieves. In the short term, they probably wouldn’t have the spare manpower to invade the Main Star and kidnap people.

In other words, she could go out now!

It really was good news.

Overjoyed, Jiang Qin sang several celebratory songs in a row before ending the stream.

Then, she turned to Yun Xie excitedly and said, “The Star Thieves have all been caught. Can we go back to my villa?

I kind of miss everyone.”

“Whatever you say. I’ll go wherever you go.” Ever since their relationship had been formalized, Yun Xie no longer thought about monopolizing Jiang Qin.

So he had never tried to coax her into staying at his villa.

It was Jiang Qin who hadn’t been in a hurry, was a little worried about accidents, and had other considerations, which was why she had been staying at the villa all this time.

But since they were leaving, the issue of Lan Yuyan had to be dealt with.

As the man who shared Jiang Qin’s bed, Yun Xie believed he understood his female master well enough.

So he spoke up, “If we leave, what do we do with this cat?”

Lan Yuyan, whose gaze had been glued to Jiang Qin, snapped back to reality at his words. “I…”

Well, he didn’t know what to say either.

Because no matter what he said, it wouldn’t seem very credible. After all, it would just be a verbal promise with no real guarantee.

Jiang Qin chuckled softly. “It’s alright. Mr. Lan wouldn’t betray me, right?”

“You can’t be sure about that. He’s not one of us, after all. Who knows if he’ll just use you and then turn around and sell you out.

Maybe we should just kill him.”

Although Yun Xie’s words were chilling, Lan Yuyan wasn’t the least bit flustered.

Because he didn’t sense any killing intent. Besides, if they were going to kill him, why would they have bothered soothing him?

If they killed him, wouldn’t that mean they had saved him for nothing?

So he asked directly, “What do you think is the best solution? I’m willing to cooperate.”

“It’s simple. Marry Qinqin, become her second partner, and sign this agreement.”

Yun Xie had long since seen that Jiang Qin wanted to tie Lan Yuyan to their ship.

So he had prepared the agreement long ago. Compared to his own, it could only be described as even more excessive.

In truth, he also felt it was better to keep Lan Yuyan by their side where they could watch him.

After all, he was Yan Mingrui’s only son. Unless it was absolutely necessary, they really didn’t need to provoke the ire of another powerful faction.
