Seeing that no one was suggesting where to go, Jiang Qin had no choice but to speak up.
’We can’t just sit here all day.’
So, she led Jiang Qingfeng, with Long Hao and then Kasha trailing behind her, to... an internet cafe.
Interstellar internet cafes didn’t use computers; they used Holographic Cabins.
Many people weren’t well-off enough to afford their own Holographic Cabins. If they wanted to play, their only option was to go to an internet cafe.
They could certainly afford their own Holographic Cabins, but it wasn’t like they’d carry them around.
So, she decided to just take them to an internet cafe.
’How else were they supposed to kill the whole day?’
Seeing this, the director couldn’t sit still. He hastily yelled through the cara feed, "Absolutely not!!!"
"I’m announcing a new rule! Dates can’t involve sitting around doing nothing for half the day, and you absolutely cannot go to an internet cafe!!"
"The date location must be a tourist attraction!!"
[Haha, you can tell how close the director is to a ntal breakdown just from his voice.]
[Director: I hate you all, you’re a bunch of logs.]
[I see what’s going on. They’re all just here to scam the show for travel expenses. I don’t get it, though. Aren’t they all super rich?]
[Who’s going to say no to more money?]
[I don’t believe they’re here for the money, but I don’t believe they’re here to find love either.]
[You might not believe this, but the Third Prince was tricked into coming. I heard he’s desperate to find a female master.]
[Whatever, I’ve given up on seeing anything spicy. I’ll just settle for looking at their faces.]
...
The director’s roar was pure emotion, with zero technique.
Jiang Qin didn’t want to drive the man to his grave, so she just pulled out a travel guide and started looking.
"There seems to be a seafood restaurant nearby. Should we go check it out?"
"It’s up to you," Jiang Qingfeng said, unconcerned.
He might have looked fine on the outside, but in reality, he was in extre pain.
He was just long accustod to enduring it.
He had been forced to join the show, too.
They hoped he would stop being so resistant to females and agree to find a female master soon. Otherwise, after his leave was over, he would likely be transferred to a rear-echelon post.
Because his Riot Value was just a hair’s breadth away from pushing him into the Frenzied Beast state.
Several of the Empire’s S-level females had already expressed their willingness to take him as their husband.
But Jiang Qingfeng had never agreed, willing only to accept standard pacification.
’But he never expected...’
The thought of that hundred-year-old female who’d tried to force herself on him during a routine pacification session made Jiang Qingfeng feel sick to his stomach, both physically and ntally.
’In truth, Jiang Qingfeng was disgusted with himself.’
’Who would want to die if they could live?’
But back in his physiology classes, just listening to the instructors teach how to physically please a female was enough to make him vomit.
’If he had to actually do it for real... he couldn’t even imagine the scene.’
’He’d probably be thrown out by the female the mont he started puking.’
Even though he wanted to overco it, he just couldn’t.
It wasn’t for a lack of trying. He’d attempted close contact with female subordinates, friends, and relatives, but failed every single ti.
He had already given up, really. All he wanted now was to live a quiet life.
That was why sitting quietly for so long today, without having to think about anything, felt so relaxing to him.
’And here I thought I was the only one planning to slack off,’ Jiang Qin mused. ’Turns out everyone’s here to just phone it in.’
There were only four of them, but they walked as if they were standing in a single-file line.
Jiang Qin, in her long dress, walked serenely at the head of the line.
The expressionless, ramrod-straight Jiang Qingfeng followed her like a bodyguard.
Long Hao followed with a nonchalant smile, strutting as if he were on a runway—a bit of a show-off.
Kasha, trailing even further behind, was relegated to looking like his personal assistant.
The strange quartet drew stares from many passersby.
Jiang Qin: ...
’For so reason, I feel so embarrassed.’
If the restaurant weren’t so close, she would have hailed a Flying Car.
But the restaurant was very close, and she didn’t want to waste Star Coins—even if they weren’t hers to spend.
Soon, under the strange and varied gazes of passersby, they reached the seafood restaurant.
Along the way, quite a few people had likely recognized the four of them and kept trying to approach for autographs or photos.
Thankfully, the crew mbers following behind them were quick to intervene.
***
After they entered the restaurant, a waiter with beast ears ca over and tapped on the tabletop nu to help them choose.
Boiled Sea Clan Alien Beast at 1: 13,800 Star Coins.
Boiled Sea Clan Alien Beast at 2: 33,344 Star Coins.
Boiled Sea Clan Alien Beast at 3: 55,566 Star Coins.
...
The nu listed "Boiled Sea Clan Alien Beast at" all the way up to number 10, with the price increasing each ti.
Jiang Qin: ... "Excuse , what does the ’1’ in ’Sea Clan Alien Beast at 1’ refer to? What kind of beast is it?"
The waiter explained respectfully, "The ’1’ refers to Alien Beast at with 50% contamination.
The ’2’ is 45%, and the ’3’ is 40%.
Alien Beast at 10 refers to three pounds of at after the source of contamination has been completely removed."
"So... you’re saying it’s not a specific type of Sea Clan at? It could be from any Sea Clan Alien Beast, and only the contamination level is different?"
The waiter nodded with a smile.
Jiang Qin: ... ’Oh no. This is at I wouldn’t dare to eat.’
Here was the problem: they were all starving and had been looking forward to trying so of the local delicacies.
If she said they weren’t eating and just walked out, she’d probably get flad to hell and back.
With no other choice, Jiang Qin had to bite the bullet and order one "Boiled Sea Clan Alien Beast at 10" platter.
Long Hao, dissatisfied, called the waiter back. "Bring us four of those number 10 platters. Who’s going to get full on that tiny bit of at?
The production crew is paying for it anyway. What are you being so frugal for?"
Jiang Qin, who hadn’t been trying to save money at all: ... "Uh, just order three. I can’t eat that much."
Kasha quickly chid in, "Your Highness, I can’t eat that much either. I can just share a portion with Miss Jiang."
"Fine, then. Make it three."
"Yes, sir." The waiter bowed obsequiously before leaving.
While they waited, Jiang Qin gazed out the window. Jiang Qingfeng sat bolt upright, his eyes fixed forward.
Kasha had excused herself to the restroom but still hadn’t returned.
Only Long Hao was left, his eyes fixed on Jiang Qin, making her skin crawl.
She wanted to say sothing but didn’t want to stir up trouble, so Jiang Qin just pretended not to notice.
Following behind to protect Jiang Qin, Yun Xie’s eyes narrowed dangerously. The aggression radiating from him was intense.
So intense that it was impossible for Long Hao not to notice.
When their gazes t, sparks flew.
One offered a subtle warning; the other glared back with malice.
Long Hao had only intended to tease the little female, but after being suppressed by the other man’s spiritual power, a rebellious streak flared up in him.
’Since that male doesn’t want near his female master, I’ll get close just to spite him!’
’That’ll piss him off!!’
’So what if your Spiritual Power Level is a little higher? Big deal!’
A wicked smile played on Long Hao’s lips as he mouthed silently, "I’ve set my sights on her!"
Seeing Yun Xie’s eyes blaze with fury, his gaze like he was looking at a dead man, Long Hao’s grin only grew wider and more unrestrained.
But little did he know that as soon as he turned away, a knowing, profound smile touched Yun Xie’s lips.
