Chapter 328: Chapter 328: Feeling Powerless

Mo Chen hadn’t expected Jiang Qin to be such a selfless female. He instantly felt a pang of regret for his earlier suspicions.

Overcome with guilt, he began to ponder what to give her as an apology.

But he had never given anyone a gift before, so for a moment, he genuinely had no idea what to get.

So, he turned to his younger sister for help.

When Mo Lan heard her stuffy old brother ask what kind of gifts females generally liked, her first suspicion was that he’d been replaced by an imposter!

Only after asking him several questions that only the two siblings would know the answers to did she finally confirm his identity.

The man in front of her, still wearing that stone-carved expression, was indeed her brother.

Mo Lan teased, “Well, well, has my dear brother finally seen the light? Are you looking for a female master?”

“You’ve got it wrong. I misunderstood a female, and even though she’s unaware of it, I feel I need to apologize to her in person.”

“That’s why I need a sincere apology gift.”

After all, a simple verbal apology felt flimsy and useless.

He disliked empty words and preferred to express himself through actions.

Hearing this, Mo Lan’s face fell with instant disappointment.

She had always known her brother to be a rigid man who never lied, so this was most likely the truth.

“Sigh, I knew it. Mom and Dad have a better chance of me having a third child than of you ever figuring things out.”

“As for the gift, what females like are invariably pretty and expensive things. Just pick something out.”

’Pretty… and expensive…’

Mo Chen frowned, lost in thought, not even noticing when Mo Lan ended the call.

***

Over the past few days, wherever Si Xu went in the camp, he could hear someone mentioning Jiang Qin.

Just now, having gotten up to stretch his legs, he overheard a few young warriors chatting again.

Warrior A asked, “Have any of you managed to book a soothing session with Miss Jiang?”

Upon hearing this, Warrior C quickly and smugly replied, “Hehe, I did. Booked it on the very first day.”

At the time, not many people knew Jiang Qin was an S-level female. A lot of people recognized her but assumed she was C-level, so no one went to Soothing Room 6 to make an appointment.

He was the only one who booked an appointment, and only because he wanted to see his idol up close.

It was only after his soothing session ended that he saw the official notice and learned that Jiang Qin was an S-level soothing master.

Feeling like he’d hit the jackpot, he bragged about it for days.

Now, however, booking a session with Jiang Qin was extremely difficult. The line in front of her soothing room was mostly filled with warriors who held official ranks.

This was because such warriors generally had A-level spiritual power or higher.

Warrior B, unable to stand his smugness, snorted coldly. “Hmph, you’re a B-level Beastman. Does it really matter what Level of soothing master you see? The result is the same, isn’t it?”

“It’s not like an S-level soothing master’s session can upgrade your Spiritual Body, can it?”

Warrior C said, “Hehe, it can’t increase my spiritual power, but my Riot Value dropped by a full 8%!”

Hearing this, the other two’s first reaction was disbelief.

“We know you’re a fan of Jiang Qin, but soothing isn’t the same as singing. If you keep bragging like this, you’ll just end up embarrassing her.”

“Seriously, are you a fan or a hater? Why are you trying to set her up like this?”

Warrior C didn’t get angry. “I knew you wouldn’t believe me. All I can say is, you’ll understand once you’ve tried it for yourselves.”

“Miss Jiang’s soothing is completely different from other soothing masters’!”

“How is it different?”

“Do other soothing masters build different holographic environments for you and arrange them according to your mood?”

“Do other soothing masters sing to you?”

“Do other soothing masters gently tell you to get some proper rest?”

“Do they let you stay even if you fall fast asleep in the soothing room, without kicking you out?”

The other two recalled the disgusted and impatient eyes of other soothing masters and shook their heads in unison. “No, they don’t.”

“But Miss Jiang does. She’s less like a soothing master and more like a therapist.”

Because Warrior C’s description sounded so wonderful, the other two warriors, as well as others who had been eavesdropping, couldn’t help but start to fantasize.

They didn’t know what a soothing master as gentle as the wind was like, nor could they imagine a soothing session so comfortable it could put you to sleep.

As a result, even their imaginations felt impoverished.

“If only I could be soothed by Miss Jiang just once.”

“That might have been possible before. Now, you can forget about it.”

“Sigh, the line of people waiting for Miss Jiang Qing every day is long enough to circle the entire camp.”

“Actually, it’s probably for the best that we don’t get a chance. She has to expend so much spiritual power every day. We Beastmen with low spiritual power shouldn’t add to her workload.”

“Yeah, among the soothing masters who came to provide support, there are plenty of B-level and A-level ones, and even some C-level.”

“We can just go line up for the other soothing masters.”

Si Xu was a little stunned.

’This is the first time I’ve ever seen these warriors be so considerate of a soothing master.’

’Although they respect every soothing master, their survival instincts usually drive them to book appointments with the ones who have stronger spiritual power.’

’This is the first I’ve seen them feel sorry for a soothing master and opt for lower-Level ones instead.’

He couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. ’This female seems to be well-liked wherever she goes.’

’It’s as if she was born to be a darling of the heavens.’

Thinking that none of today’s wounded were in life-threatening condition, he decided to fulfill his promise.

***

Anxious, Jiang Qin finally saw Si Xu arrive.

She handed Si Xu the venom and Antidote Potion that Yun Xie had previously given to his friend for research.

“This is the raw sample of the venom and the Antidote Potion. I had your junior colleague study it before. This is the half that was left.”

Then, she sent the formula chart that her doctor friend had developed to Si Xu.

Si Xu first reviewed the formula chart before carefully sniffing the venom.

Finally, he gave Lan Yuyan a full-body examination.

“There are indeed a few unfamiliar scents. I’ll take this back to study it. I’ll notify you if I make any progress.”

“Okay, we’re counting on you, Doctor Si.”

Si Xu smiled. “I’ve heard Miss Jiang’s soothing is rather special. Once I’ve developed the antidote for this venom, might I trouble Miss Jiang to perform a soothing for me as well?”

“Of course. If you need it, Doctor Si, I can do the soothing right now. I don’t mind.”

’Regardless of whether he develops the Antidote Potion,’ Jiang Qin thought, ’he deserves a private soothing session.’

“Then thank you, Miss Jiang.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take your partner’s case to heart. I’ll have results for you within three days at the latest.”

With a definite timeline, Jiang Qin did feel much more at ease.

Only after seeing Si Xu off did she lie down, exhausted.

Yun Xie and Lan Yuyan both looked at her with concern.

“If the soothing sessions are too tiring, why don’t you reduce the number of patients tomorrow?”

Jiang Qin didn’t try to put on a brave face. She nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll limit it to five a day, then.”

“I don’t know what’s wrong with me these past two days. I just feel that my strength is failing me.”
