Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Two SS-level Males

However, this stalemate was soon broken.

Several Mecha arrived at the villa as reinforcements, along with some unfamiliar Beastmen. Their beast forms were all powerful, aggressive types.

As soon as they appeared, the Star Thieves were defeated one after another.

This was especially true for the Mecha. Although they couldn’t fire their main cannons on a residential planet, their smaller-scale attacks were more than enough to crush the Beastmen who weren’t particularly high-level.

The situation became completely one-sided.

The reinforcements were always late, but they always showed up.

In itself, that said a lot.

Ever since Bai Mufeng had become the captain of the local Law Enforcement Team, he had been paying close attention to her situation.

It was just that the creations of those scientists were truly formidable.

Perhaps because they specialized in petty theft and infiltration, they had invested heavily in developing related technologies.

Their R&D was extensive, producing countless innovations like Invisibility Cloaks, ways to alter the size of beast forms, and gene-morphing technology.

They always had all sorts of ways to infiltrate.

Seeing that Yun Xie wasn’t in any major trouble, Jiang Qin decided to use her Xiao Bee to search for Lan Yuyan.

However, a full sweep of the villa’s surroundings revealed no trace of him or Fox Ear, which started to worry her.

After all, Lan Yuyan’s condition had only just stabilized.

’What if something happened to him?’

“Qinqin, what’s wrong?”

Just as she was immersed in the Xiao Bee’s point of view, Shi Lichuan released her.

Seeing her eyes closed, he thought something was wrong and panicked. Just as he was about to carry her to the hospital for emergency treatment, Jiang Qin opened her eyes just in time.

“I’m fine. I just felt a little dizzy for a moment, but it’s passed now.”

“Why would you feel dizzy? Are you feeling unwell? Let’s go to the hospital for a check-up, okay?”

Interstellar People didn’t suffer from ailments like hypoglycemia, and even if they did, someone like Jiang Qin shouldn’t have it.

That was a problem exclusive to those who couldn’t afford nutrient liquid.

And Jiang Qin had been on nutrient liquid for so long; it made no sense for her to be suffering from malnutrition.

Her dizziness was, therefore, very worrying.

But Jiang Qin refused. She had no desire to go to a hospital. If someone there had been bribed, wouldn’t it be all too easy for them to get a hold of her genes, blood, or other biological material?

It wasn’t that she placed much value on those things herself, but she was terrified of what others might do with them.

After all, things like artificial gestation existed in the Interstellar era.

With just her genetic sequence and a blood sample, creating a child would be no problem at all.

If those maniacs got their hands on her biological tissue, she’d probably have several children before she even knew it.

And these children, whether successes or failures, would all become test subjects.

This wasn’t just some wild fantasy of hers; real cases had happened before.

Take the Federation’s wealthiest woman, Lady She, for example.

She was now old and nearing the end of her life, so her descendants were locked in a fierce struggle for inheritance.

However, just last month, three illegitimate children had suddenly appeared at her door.

All three of these illegitimate children were already married and had children of their own.

One can only imagine the chaos that ensued.

Although artificial gestation was illegal, once a child was born, they couldn’t be euthanized and were entitled to all the rights of a citizen.

Therefore, these illegitimate children, created by people with ulterior motives, also possessed inheritance rights.

Even if Lady She refused to include them in the inheritance, she was still legally required to cover their living expenses from birth until adulthood.

…

Since Jiang Qin absolutely refused to go to the hospital, Shi Lichuan was at a loss. He could only persuade her to rest in a Medical Pod for a while.

It would treat any ailment she had and serve as a preventative measure if she was fine.

She didn’t refuse this time and obediently lay down inside. She also told Shi Lichuan to get into one.

He was still covered in blood, after all.

Meanwhile, Yun Xie, who had been fighting the Black Soul Spider, had returned. Admiral Mo had taken over the fight in his Mecha.

The Medical Master summoned by Bai Mufeng was administering an antidote to Yun Xie.

Warriors from the First Legion were in charge of cleaning up the battlefield.

Both the bodies and the captured criminals had to be taken back to the Law Enforcement Department for processing and interrogation.

Their new villa had been so thoroughly damaged that it was now uninhabitable.

Cang Hong shifted from his Black-winged Lion form back to his human one and offered shyly, “Why don’t you all stay at my place for the time being?

You can move back after… after your home is repaired…”

Shi Lichuan remained silent. He didn’t own a house in the capital, so he couldn’t offer any input.

Yun Xie didn’t object either, considering that his own villa was too remote and not secure enough.

Of course, he couldn’t speak at the moment anyway.

The Black Soul Spider’s venom had a paralyzing effect; his entire upper body was numb.

After some consideration, Jiang Qin declined Cang Hong’s kind offer.

She turned to the bodyguards who had arrived and said, “Brother Kun, please go find Yuyan. He led Fox Ear away and still isn’t back. I’m a little worried.”

Jiao Yankun agreed to his employer’s request without a second thought, transforming into a pegasus and flying off.

Cang Hong felt a pang of disappointment that Jiang Qin hadn’t asked for his help.

However, he quickly consoled himself.

’It must be because Miss Jiang Qing saw I was injured and felt bad about troubling me further. Why else would she ask someone further away instead of me, who is right here?’

’Yes, that’s it!’

Having dealt with the situation, Mo Chen showed no intention of exchanging pleasantries. As he piloted his Mecha away, he cast a single glance back at Jiang Qin, who was surrounded by the crowd.

As if sensing his gaze, Jiang Qin looked up into the air.

In that brief moment, all she saw was the exceptionally cool Mecha flying away.

Bai Mufeng witnessed this exchange and said nonchalantly, “They knew Admiral Mo was out striking their other planetary strongholds.

That’s why they sent two SS-level males this time.”

“Two? Who was the other one?”

Bai Mufeng frowned and shook his head. “That man’s beast form wasn’t his true one. It was… hmm, probably an illusion.

It’s likely his own beast form has an ability that lets him change its appearance, or perhaps someone nearby was helping to conceal it.

In any case, it wasn’t his true beast form, just a diversion.

That’s why I couldn’t identify which SS-level male among the Star Thieves he was.”

“You held off an SS-level male by yourself?” Shi Lichuan asked, surprised.

“No, I had two partners with me.”

Speak of the devil. Gu Tianyou and Lan Shaoyu had finally cleaned up the mess outside and were coming in to report to Bai Mufeng.

And that’s when they saw the delicate-looking Jiang Qin!

Instantly, Gu Tianyou’s eyes lit up, “Miss Jiang!”

“Hm?” Jiang Qin was confused. ’Am I supposed to know this handsome, bronze-skinned man?’

’Why is he so excited?’

She soon found out why. He was a fan—a loyal fan of her series, *Initial D*.

Gu Tianyou excitedly gushed about his admiration for her before finally asking sheepishly, “Um, Miss Jiang, could I get a picture with you?”

“Of course.”

“That’s great!” Gu Tianyou quickly pulled out his Light Computer and projected the 86 from *Initial D*.

The two of them stood right next to the 86. CLICK. The image was captured.
