Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Deep Soothing

Jiang Qin had to hand it to Lilia for that clarification—a classic case of twisting the facts.

She’d issued an apology and a clarification, yet still managed to drag both her and Jiang Ruming into it.

The worst part was that quite a few people actually believed her. After all, not everyone had seen the livestream.

Many people had probably just gotten a rundown of the events afterward, making them easy to fool.

After all, in this era, labels like “impulsive,” “hot-tempered,” and “naive” had long been associated with females.

So when Lilia claimed she was just standing up for her roommate and classmate without knowing the full story, and that she’d been misled by Jiang Ruming into giving Jiang Qin a hard time, people found it highly believable.

It fit right into the common stereotypes about females.

People were already flooding Jiang Ruming’s comment section, calling her things like “hypocrite” and “ungrateful wretch.”

Of course, Jiang Qin’s comment section and private messages were getting spammed too.

Not wanting to see all that garbage, she simply turned off her private messages.

After a moment’s thought, she closed her comment section as well.

Then, she posted the original gene identification report and her citizen ID, along with a statement:

My survival to adulthood has nothing whatsoever to do with the Jiang Family.

I did not claim my biological father’s inheritance. I left it to Ms. Jiang Yulian as payment for picking me up from the Barren Star.

From now on, whether the Jiang Family is rich or poor has nothing to do with me. I am no longer a young cub in need of a mother.

Attached below was a legally binding agreement.

Its contents were roughly as follows:

Ms. Jiang Qin voluntarily relinquishes all rights to the inheritance of Ms. Jiang Yulian and Mr. Qi Si. Having never been raised by them, she is also exempt from the responsibility of providing for them.

It was essentially an agreement to sever all ties, where neither party had any obligation to the other and they would never interact again for the rest of their lives.

Qi Si was Jiang Qin’s biological father, who had been dead for many years.

In any case, even if the Jiang Family hadn’t intervened, she would have been able to get off the Barren Star on her own in another two years.

But they had indeed made things more convenient for her.

Jiang Qin didn’t want to owe the Jiang Family anything, nor did she want to be indebted to Jiang Yulian for the gift of life, so she decided to let the inheritance go.

Besides, she could support herself just fine.

After posting the statement, she logged out of the platform and started studying her online courses.

Meanwhile, the netizens, now unable to comment, were frantic—like they’d stumbled into a field of juicy gossip but couldn’t get a taste.

If they wanted to discuss or complain about it, they had to start a whole new thread.

[Tsk, tsk. I can’t believe it. The Jiang Family is so rich, yet they couldn’t even support their own biological daughter, forcing a newly adult female to work to support herself.]

[Is it that surprising? She got a new partner and forgot all about the old one.]

[I don’t get it. Abandoning even a C-level female child.]

[Well, she already has a daughter by her side, so she probably didn’t care whether she took this one back or not. She’s only a C-level, after all.]

[I’m actually pretty impressed by Jiang Qin. The Jiang Family is loaded, and she just walked away from it all.]

[I’m tearing up. What a tragedy. Jiang Qin is so pitiful. Her family doesn’t love her, and netizens are attacking her.]

[Everyone should be more tolerant of young females. Their psyches are very fragile. If Jiang Qin does something drastic, all of you will be murderers.]

[Nonsense! The real murderers are her family!]

[Forget it, let’s just drop it. We common folk can’t afford to offend a powerful family from a Second-class planet.]

…

After a sweet and blissful day with her partner, Jiang Yulian felt like her world was collapsing.

’What is this about choosing an adopted daughter over a biological one?’

’What do they mean, “no regard for old affection”?’

Okay, she had to admit she couldn’t even remember what Qi Si looked like anymore. After all, she was surrounded by so many handsome males.

But it wasn’t like she was the only one. Those A-level females had dozens of partners.

’They probably can’t even remember all their partners’ names while they’re still alive, let alone after they’re dead, right?’

’So why is everyone so shocked and disgusted by something so commonplace?’

And that wretched child, Jiang Qin! How dare she sever ties with the Jiang Family without a single word?

Jiang Yulian was furious.

Jiang Qin was clearly the one who’d hurt her sister, and all she’d asked was for an apology and a promise. And yet, she had the audacity to throw a tantrum and threaten to sever ties.

She had never seen such a wicked child.

Ruming had been obedient since she was little, so easy to raise, and a great student. Every family envied her for having such an outstanding female child.

Compared to Jiang Qin, that willful, malicious, and rebellious brat was an absolute devil.

Recently, Jiang Yulian’s second partner, Kaiden Tek, hadn’t taken on any missions, so he had been with her all day.

Seeing her so angry now, he was filled with disgust for the female who had upset his partner.

He suppressed the viciousness in his heart and suggested, “How about I go bring her back so you can teach her a lesson?”

“A lesson? How would I do that?”

“The little female was corrupted by those lowlifes on the Barren Star. If you want to correct her, you’ll have to be harsh.”

Jiang Yulian hesitated. “Let’s not. Male cubs are sturdy and can take a few beatings, but female cubs are too fragile. You can’t hit them.”

Hearing this, Kaiden Tek was a little disappointed. It seemed his partner still cared about this female cub.

’That means I can’t be too rough with her.’

Still, he was dissatisfied. Ever since that female cub was brought back, how many times had she made his Lian’er angry?

’If I had known this would happen, I never should have told her when I first got the news.’

Since things had come to this, Kaiden Tek could only swallow his anger and patiently persuade her. “How about we don’t hit her, but lock her up to learn some manners?

We can hire a stricter tutor, and I guarantee she’ll learn how to treat her own family.”

“Can she really learn?”

“If you don’t trust me, surely you trust in Lady Zona’s abilities?”

Jiang Yulian was a bit surprised. “You mean *the* Lady Zona who returned from the Main Star? I heard several families want to hire her to teach their children noble etiquette.”

“That’s right. The very same.”

“Would she be willing to come teach at our home?”

Kaiden Tek wasn’t sure if he could actually hire her; he was only somewhat confident.

’But it doesn’t matter. If I can’t get her, I’ll just find someone else. It’s not *my* child, so why would I genuinely have her best interests at heart?’

He couldn’t be bothered with what the person he hired would teach her. As long as she learned to behave, that was enough.

In that regard, Jiang Ruming was excellent.

“Don’t worry, just leave this to me.

Your only job is to be happy every day.”

Faced with Kaiden Tek’s affectionate gaze and thinking of a potential solution, the frustration in Jiang Yulian’s heart dissipated considerably.

So, she decided to reward him.

“Let me perform a soothing for you.”

“Thank you, my female master.”

The two quickly became entangled, and suggestive sounds rose and fell through the air.

Beside them, the phantom images of a white rabbit and a giant, ferocious horned bear appeared.

The rabbit was seen hopping on the bear’s paw, as if it were dancing.

As for the giant horned bear, it had retracted all its ferocity and aggression, gently holding up its paw, perfectly still.

Mating was a soothing master’s deepest form of soothing, with an effect several times stronger than Spiritual Soothing.
