Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Nan Xin

Jiang Qin had no interest in the “fun” her young fan was describing, but Long Yue insisted on dragging her along.

In a tone of exasperation, she said, “What are you afraid of, sister-in-law? We’re just going to take a look. It’s not like we’re going to do anything.”

“Besides, even if we did want to do something, would our males at home even dare to stop us?”

Jiang Qin thought about it and had to agree. She didn’t really want to watch, but since everyone was going out together, there was no harm in just being a spectator.

So, she went along.

The group took the elevator to the third floor.

After the young fan led them through a series of twists and turns, they finally arrived at a large dance club.

The atmosphere was electric. Laser lights flashed, the soft floor vibrated under their feet, and on stage, males were performing by ripping off their shirts.

The performers wore various elaborate masks. After a steamy dance routine, they would rip off their shirts.

Then, someone would splash colorful drinks on their bodies, eliciting waves of screams from the females in the audience.

The music blasting from the surrounding speakers was unbelievably intense.

The other females who had come with them had already scouted out the males they were interested in and were now grinding with them on the dance floor.

Only Long Yue remained, looking on with envy. She didn’t dare to leave, however, and stayed by Jiang Qin’s side, watching over her carefully.

It wouldn’t have mattered if she didn’t, though. While the males all watched them eagerly, none dared to push their way over.

In fact, upon seeing Jiang Qin’s pregnant belly, everyone quickly cleared a path to ensure she had plenty of room.

This, however, made things a little awkward.

In the empty space that had formed around them, only she and Long Yue stood there dumbly.

Sensing Long Yue’s eagerness to join in, Jiang Qin told her to go have fun and not to worry about her.

Long Yue had indeed spotted a male in the crowd with a physique she found very appealing. So, after confirming multiple times that Jiang Qin didn’t need her to stay, she immediately went to strike up a conversation.

Seeing that everyone else had gone off to have fun, Jiang Qin didn’t leave immediately.

In truth, the atmosphere was a lot like the clubs on Earth.

She had never been to one before, only seen videos online, so she was now getting a taste of the fun herself.

Unlike bars, Interstellar bars weren’t nearly this wild.

Not like this place, where everyone was letting loose with wild abandon.

…

“Miss, may I sit here?”

Jiang Qin looked up toward the source of the voice.

A male stood before her, wearing a black-and-white Combat Suit and a yellow, tiger-striped mask.

Judging by the mask, he was likely a male whose beast form was related to tigers.

The club was too noisy for her to hear him clearly, so she used her Light Computer’s holographic display to ask, [Can I help you?]

Nan Xin raised an eyebrow and replied using his own Light Computer’s display: [Miss, may I sit across from you?]

Jiang Qin: [Suit yourself.]

At that, Nan Xin sat down.

He typed again: [Miss, might I get to know you? I’m Nan Xin, an SS-level Beastman from the Empire.]

Jiang Qin was a little surprised. She hadn’t expected to casually run into a male of such a high Level.

But she wasn’t interested. She no longer lacked for powerful partners, and she now had the strength to protect herself.

So she told him directly: [Sorry, I’m not looking for a new partner right now. You’d be better off trying someone else.]

Her directness surprised and confused Nan Xin.

It wasn’t that he was arrogant, but it wasn’t difficult for an SS-level male to find a mate. Unlike lower-Level males, they weren’t completely without options.

Generally speaking, an S-level female wouldn’t refuse someone like him, and A-level females and below would be fighting for the chance.

Yet Jiang Qin had rejected him without a moment’s hesitation.

Nan Xin thought for a moment. ’Maybe it’s because she hasn’t seen my face,’ he thought, so he took off his mask.

Full of confidence, he asked again, [Perhaps your answer was a bit hasty, Miss? Why don’t you take another look?]

Jiang Qin glanced at his face, then shook her head again.

In that instant, his confidence shattered completely.

He was starting to lose his composure.

’What’s with her looking at my face and then immediately shaking her head? What does that mean?’

Nan Xin… all Nan Xin could do was force a smile.

Even so, he didn’t leave his seat. In fact, whenever he saw someone else approaching them, he would glare threateningly until they were scared away.

Having unexpectedly discovered a use for this guy, Jiang Qin calmly took a thermos out of her Space Button and began sipping some warm water.

Nan Xin was speechless. ’What a… down-to-earth female.’

If he had initially approached her because of Yun Xie, he was now genuinely starting to get interested in her for herself.

After all, he wasn’t a masochist. The constant pain in his Spirit Sea was enough to drive even a wild beast insane.

But marriage was a lifelong commitment, and he really didn’t want to rush into it.

After all, females didn’t exactly have the best reputation.

Now that he was interested, Nan Xin, whose attitude had been rather casual, suddenly got serious.

He started by playing the sympathy card: [Actually, Yun Xie and I are brothers-in-arms. I’ve been away on a mission and only just returned.]

[So when I heard he got married, I had to come and see for myself what kind of person my brother’s female master is.]

Jiang Qin was skeptical, but it didn’t matter. She knew Yun Xie all too well.

Forget a brother-in-arms—even if it were his own flesh-and-blood brother, she doubted he’d be happy about someone trying to hit on his wife.

So she simply smiled and continued sipping her warm water, saying nothing.

Nan Xin was at a loss for words…

Rebuffed again, he decided the problem must be Yun Xie.

’That cold-blooded bastard must be totally unlikable. That’s why I have no pull with Jiang Qin; I can’t even use his name to get a little closer to her.’

’It’s true! Without me, my brother’s household would fall apart!’

Just as he was lost in thought, another male approached.

He tried his glare-them-away technique again, but it didn’t seem to work this time. The male continued to walk steadily toward them.

Mo Chen had been secretly searching for Jiang Qin but hadn’t been able to find her.

He hadn’t even planned on searching the third floor, as he didn’t think Jiang Qin would be interested in the kind of male performances featured here.

But to his surprise, he actually found her… right here.

At this thought, Mo Chen’s gaze darkened as he stared at the shirt-ripping males on center stage.

’So… this is her type?’

He hid in the shadows, hesitating for a long time. He just couldn’t bring himself to go on stage and rip off his shirt to get her attention.

’How could a male let any female other than his own female master see his body?’

After some thought, he abandoned the idea—it just wasn’t his style. He decided it would be better to just go over and say hello.

He paid Nan Xin’s hostility no mind whatsoever.

’Just another male lusting after Miss Jiang Qin.’

“Miss Jiang Qin, we meet again.”

Jiang Qin recognized him at a glance and felt a small spark of joy.

“Admiral Mo? What are you doing here?” ’Isn’t he supposed to be guarding Prison Star? I thought he couldn’t leave.’

Mo Chen glanced at the stranger beside her and avoided mentioning his work. He simply said, “The association gave me a spot. The organization can’t interfere with that.”
