Chapter 274: Chapter 274: Zombie Teeth

Jiang Qingfeng also announced he was leaving the legion. However, he left the military department only to join another government branch.

To be precise, he was about to start a career in politics.

As for Ni Jia and Yuan Ling, they weren’t as famous as the other two, but thanks to the variety show, quite a few people had started paying attention to them.

But so far, no one had managed to dig up any news about them.

As for the female guests on the variety show, their lives went on much as they had before.

Natalie was the only one who received a bit more attention, and that was because of the drugging incident.

The others hadn’t had many standout moments during the show’s filming, so they didn’t receive much attention after it ended.

Qi Shan, on the other hand, went viral for her bold statements.

Then there was Zheng Yushi. Although she hadn’t filmed for many days, her sweet personality had earned her a lot of popularity.

I heard she has now signed with Star Entertainment.

But Jiang Qin hadn’t paid any special attention to these things. She only knew because she occasionally came across snippets of information while browsing the Star Network.

…

She hadn’t expected to see Long Hao again so soon.

When she opened the villa door first thing in the morning, she saw Long Hao standing outside, holding a single fresh flower.

He still had that same nonchalant look, but perhaps from standing there for a long time, a somewhat restless spiritual power swirled around him.

But the moment he saw her, it subsided significantly.

She could sense that the state of his spiritual power was indeed quite poor.

Every male Beastman’s spiritual power was different, just as every female’s spiritual power had its own unique aspects.

This was especially true for their Spiritual Bodies. The Spiritual Bodies of low-ranking females were like something from a template.

But A-level and higher Spiritual Bodies had their own personalities, and while B-level ones were rigid, they could still empathize with their hosts.

Therefore, the male Beastmen’s spiritual power and the Spiritual Bodies in their Seas of Consciousness were also different from one another.

Yun Xie’s Spiritual Body was full of aggression. Every time she performed a deep soothing, it would coil tightly around her own Spiritual Body.

It always wrapped around her little rabbit until it looked like it had lost the will to live, and it would even lick the rabbit all over.

Shi Lichuan’s panda Spiritual Body, on the other hand, was indulgent. Whenever they performed a deep soothing, it would carry her rabbit on its back and frolic all over the room.

Lan Yuyan’s little blue kitten was accepting; as long as it could snuggle up with her rabbit, it didn’t care about anything else.

As for Cang Hong, with whom she had only recently begun performing deep soothings, his Spiritual Body, the Black-winged Lion, was a complete crybaby.

Although it made no sound, it would cling to her rabbit, its mouth silently wailing for half the night until she and Cang Hong stopped… their activities.

Long Hao’s spiritual power, however, was truly in a constant state of agitation.

’Honestly,’ she thought, ’it’s a miracle that someone with spiritual power like Long Hao’s hasn’t gone mad already.’

“Is there something I can help you with, Mr. Long?”

“Qinqin, I saw Ni Jia calls you that. I should be able to as well, right?

After all, we’re a bit closer than him, aren’t we? We’re friends who have had… intimate contact~”

Jiang Qin didn’t mind and gave a calm “mhm.”

This left Long Hao feeling a bit defeated. He said listlessly, “It’s nothing, really. I just wanted to come and say hello to my neighbor.

Starting today, I’ll basically be settling down in the Federation. Please look after me from now on.

After all, I’m living here all alone, with no family or friends.”

Jiang Qin was a little surprised. “Aren’t you the Third Prince of the Empire?”

“I was, but not anymore as of a few days ago. My Riot Value reached eighty, so I’m no longer qualified to be an heir.

And I, Long Hao, am not the type to just stand there and let people mock me, so I simply left the Empire.”

’That statement was probably half-true, half-false.’

While it was true he had given everything up himself, he certainly had plenty of rivals who were chomping at the bit to ridicule him.

’Of course, how could someone like him, Long Hao, possibly be afraid of a few verbal spats?

It was just an excuse. What he really wanted was to come to the Federation and continue to pester Jiang Qin.

She was the one who took his first kiss, after all. If he didn’t pester her for half a lifetime, this score would never be settled.

As for why not a whole lifetime? Well, of course, that was because he didn’t have a whole lifetime.’

…

Jiang Qin didn’t know if Long Hao was telling the truth or not, but she remained skeptical.

’She refused to believe that someone who had survived for so many years as a candidate for the imperial throne would be completely without his own methods.

So even if his era had come to an end, he shouldn’t be in a position where just anyone could bully him.’

Still, she had no desire to pry into his secrets.

She just smiled with satisfaction and said, “Well, that’s wonderful. I hope Mr. Long can arrive at the company on time for his classes.”

Long Hao, who suddenly remembered he also had classes…

“Has the female lead been cast yet?”

Jiang Qin nodded. “She has. It’s me.”

Long Hao, who had been looking slightly irritated a moment ago, instantly broke into a faint smile.

Unlike his usual smile that didn’t reach his eyes, this one lit up his entire face, the mirth clear in his gaze.

“That’s a fantastic choice.

So, are you about to head to the company for class now, Qinqin?”

“Yes. The company has hired one-on-one instructors for all of us in the main cast.”

Long Hao handed her the flower, his eyes twinkling with a smile. “Since we’re going the same way, why don’t I give you a ride?

If Mr. Yun is busy, he can go take care of his business. I’ll bring Qinqin back after her class is over.”

Yun Xie scoffed. “Sorry to disappoint you, but I have nothing to do. The only thing I have to do every day is accompany my female master!

So, we won’t be troubling Mr. Long to drive Qinqin. She has a partner to take her.”

“Alright, then. I’ll have to trouble my neighbors to give me a ride. I’d like to discuss the plot with Qinqin on the way.”

The suggestion was perfectly reasonable, so Yun Xie didn’t refuse.

’He’d seen through this dragon’s ill intentions long ago.

That morning, Long Hao had clearly been using the tactic of feigning retreat to advance.’

***

The three of them arrived at the company together.

All the main cast members were already waiting in the rehearsal room.

As soon as Jiang Qin arrived, she took out the props and costumes she had prepared in her Space Button.

Then she began to explain, “Kuang Tianyou and Kuang Fusheng are both zombies.

Although they look like a young man and a child on the outside, they’re actually nearly a hundred years old.

First, I’m going to get you into the zombie getup so you can understand what a zombie is supposed to look like.

Mr. Long, would you like to go first?”

Long Hao raised an eyebrow and sat down in the chair with a smile.

They were face to face, and his eyes never left hers, as if he were trying to confirm that he could see his own reflection in them.

Jiang Qin suppressed her discomfort and calmly fitted him with the Zombie Teeth.

’You have to admit, the interstellar era is convenient.’

She had custom-ordered these Zombie Teeth from a dental equipment company. Once put on, they fit perfectly over the teeth, looking completely real.

With the Zombie Teeth in, Long Hao could open and close his mouth naturally.

Jiang Qin asked, “How does it feel?”

“A little strange, but not uncomfortable.”
