Chapter 296: Chapter 296: Trespassing into a Private Residence

The houses on Chaotic Star weren’t just dilapidated; they were also built mostly from stone, so there was basically no soundproofing to speak of.

Bai Ruo, who was cleaning the living room, heard music coming from the room.

She didn’t know what was making the sound, but she felt much more relaxed after listening to it.

Inside the room, Jiang Qin was playing “Windmill Town” on a harmonica.

It was a song filled with the melody of spring.

Bright, cheerful notes floated from the dilapidated room out into the nearby streets.

Passersby slowed their steps, wanting to listen a little longer.

Those with nothing else to do simply followed the sound and sat down beneath the window.

Inside the room, the little white rabbit was dutifully nuzzling and cuddling up against the little Black Dragon’s Spiritual Body.

In his daze, Long Hao felt as if his entire being was floating on clouds.

The sensation was comfortable down to his very bones.

His faintly aching head felt as if a cooling balm had been poured into it, waking him up with a sense of clarity.

When he opened his eyes, the first thing he saw was Jiang Qin sitting by the window, playing the harmonica.

Even though she was currently dressed as a young boy, he still found her beautiful.

He finally understood what the fans meant when they said that face was stunning whether male or female.

Jiang Qin didn’t notice that Long Hao had opened his eyes. After all, he was only the size of a small snake right now; you’d have to search to even find him if he were tossed on the bed, let alone see his eyes.

She just quietly played her harmonica, gazing at the wasteland-style architecture outside.

A spring melody, yet there was no greenery to match it.

Even so, those who heard it felt as if their minds had been transported to a green meadow.

When the song ended, Jiang Qin put the harmonica away.

The Black Dragon’s Spiritual Body, lost in the little rabbit’s gentleness, reluctantly returned to its main body.

It was Long Hao’s first time receiving Jiang Qin’s soothing, and he felt it wasn’t nearly enough. However, he was considerate of her condition, so he didn’t say anything.

He simply asked with concern, “Qinqin, are you alright? Don’t soothe me next time. It’s too much of a waste of your spiritual power.”

He was beyond saving anyway; there was no need to waste the effort.

Jiang Qin shook her head. “I’m fine. I still have energy left. How could soothing you be a waste?”

’This spiritual power isn’t like a water bill that charges you for usage.’

’Not using it is the real waste.’

“Qinqin, since you’re so good to me, can you fulfill one of my dying wishes?”

“You’re talking nonsense again,” Jiang Qin said, confused. “You’ve already received treatment. How could you die?”

’Although the potion was a bit low-level, with a Beastman’s formidable physique, he should be fine after some rest, right?’

’Could it be that his injuries are so severe that even three low-level healing potions won’t work?’

However, Long Hao didn’t continue the topic. Instead, he asked, “What about that winged monkey?”

After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Qin dodged his question and pressed on with her own. “You still haven’t answered me. Why do you think you’re going to die? Is the potion not working?

Do you need an Intermediate Potion?”

“No. No potion can cure me now. But… before I die, can I become your partner?

I couldn’t be your dragon in life, so I want to be your dragon in death, buried by your side.”

Jiang Qin was speechless. ’…But I don’t even know where I’ll be buried in the future.’

’The thought of buying a burial plot suddenly crossed my mind.’

“Is there really no other way?” Jiang Qin felt a pang in her heart.

Long Hao shook his head. “It can’t be cured.”

’It could only be cured by the deep soothing of an S-level female,’ he thought. ’And since I don’t want that, it can’t be cured.’

He didn’t want to tell Jiang Qin this, afraid that she would refuse to marry him if she knew.

But in truth, even if he were willing to find and marry an S-level female, it was likely already too late.

If not for the song Jiang Qin had just played, he likely would have lost consciousness in his stupor just moments ago.

He could feel that his Riot Value was already dangerously high, to the point where he could lose his sanity at any moment.

Long Hao asked again, “What about that monkey? Why isn’t he here by your side? Doesn’t he know how dangerous Chaotic Star is?”

“He…”

KNOCK KNOCK—there was a knock on the door.

Bai Ruo’s slightly trembling voice came from outside the door. “Sir, someone is here to see you.”

“Who is it?”

Before Bai Ruo could answer, she cried out in alarm, and the door was violently kicked open.

“Enough of this dawdling. I’ll just talk to them myself.”

The man who walked in had a green buzz cut and was shirtless, revealing a robust and exceptionally muscular physique.

He swaggered into the room and brazenly scanned his surroundings.

Then, he said with some regret, “Tsk, I thought a pretty little female was listening to the music. Didn’t expect it to be some wet-behind-the-ears kid.”

“Hey, what was that song you were listening to? Send me a copy.”

The moment the door was kicked open, Jiang Qin had already snatched Long Hao from the bed and stuffed him into her pocket.

Now she was desperately holding him in place, forbidding him from coming out.

Hearing that the man was after the song, she could only tell him, “There’s no song file. I don’t even have a Light Computer.”

’Chaotic Star really is unsafe,’ she thought. ’Strangers can even force their way into your home.’

’They don’t even hesitate when they suspect a female is inside.’

’If this happened in the Federation or the Empire, he’d definitely get the death penalty.’

The green-haired man didn’t believe her and walked straight over, reaching for her wrist to check.

Jiang Qin quickly dodged and said coldly, “If you don’t get out now, I’m calling the city’s Law Enforcement Team.”

The green-haired man laughed wildly. “Kid, you new to Baofeng City?”

Before she could answer, the man continued with a grin, “They don’t care about this stuff in Baofeng City. They usually only show up to clean up the mess afterward.

By the time they arrive, the strong have either beaten the weak into submission, or the weak can no longer speak.

Which one do you want to be?”

“So destroying houses in the city is also allowed?”

The green-haired man nodded. “Uh-huh, as long as you can afford the price.”

“If you still don’t leave, then don’t blame me for throwing you out.”

Jiang Qin warned him one last time.

“Pfft! You little brat, go on! Show me how violent you can be!”

Held down in the pocket, Long Hao was about to go insane with rage. He couldn’t wait to teach this man a lesson.

However, Jiang Qin had him by the scruff of his neck, and he couldn’t move at all.

So all he could do was curse that unreliable Flying Monkey male for leaving a female all alone in a city on Chaotic Star.

’Useless! Absolutely useless!’

Jiang Qin wasted no more words with him and directly materialized a White Tiger.

She didn’t materialize the Flying Monkey this time. She was worried someone might have witnessed it killing before, or that they might examine the aftermath and recognize the marks left by its claws.

Mainly, she was afraid that people would use the Flying Monkey to confirm that Long Hao was with her.

’Anyway, on Chaotic Star, one could never be too careful.’
