Given how clueless his friend was, Lan Shaoyu quickly gave up on trying to talk to him.
Although many males enjoyed gathering to discuss such topics, his elegant nature made it difficult for him to even bring it up.
Most importantly, he didn’t have a female of his own.
He had only learned about those feelings and sensations because the elders in his family had forced him to.
After all, a female’s experience during that process directly impacted the degree of purification, so so families privately added it as a course for their adult males.
Bai Mufeng frowned, scanning their surroundings. His tone was grave. "The Law Enforcent Team was just here, and now they’re gone?"
"Yeah, I heard the bar’s back door was attacked, but the assailants are already gone."
Lan Shaoyu was the one who answered. Although he had been chatting idly with his friend, he hadn’t stopped carefully listening to his surroundings.
The people in the neighboring booths were all discussing the recent attack.
They were mainly asking if the little female was alright. Everyone relaxed only after hearing she had just been a little frightened.
Seats in the bar were becoming harder and harder to get. The adjacent space was being renovated, but it would likely be a few more days before it could accommodate more people.
So, just because they managed to get in today didn’t an they’d be able to secure a spot tomorrow.
It would be a huge waste if they couldn’t see the little female.

The first encore song Jiang Qin sang today was "Tomorrow Will Be Better."
A pristine scene unfolded on the stage.
Blue sky, white clouds, green adows.
The patrons below the stage remained entranced. Only those with high spiritual power noticed the dangerous undercurrent stirring in the dark.
Bai Mufeng, Gu Tianyou, and Shi Lichuan were tense all over. The three of them had positioned themselves directly in the shadows on stage.
They suspected soone had infiltrated the bar.
It was perfectly normal that no one else had noticed; as S-level males, their Perception was naturally stronger than others’.
Currently, there were only four S-levels in the bar, including them. Most of the other males were B-level or A-level.
"If soone attacks, Tianyou, you’re in charge of protecting the little female."
Gu Tianyou looked much more serious now, nodding with a grave expression.
The little female’s safety was directly tied to his future ability to find a partner as he pleased, so of course he would spare no effort to protect her.
Besides, as Federation Soldiers, protecting females was their duty.
Jiang Qin didn’t notice anything amiss. She was already completely imrsed in her performance, her mind filled with nothing but musical notes.
She also discovered that she was in exceptionally good form today.
Perhaps because her Spiritual Power Level had increased, she felt as if the whole world had opened up while she was singing.
The feeling of ntal sluggishness was completely gone.
The most obvious result was that many of the patrons had fallen into an enchanted state today.
If this were a bar back on Earth, people would probably suspect the audience was on drugs.
In the past, she could only guide B-level males into the Spirit World, but today, quite a few A-level males were being drawn in as well.
That was why they were currently completely oblivious to the impending crisis.
BANG—
A loud crash erupted, and the singing cut off abruptly.
Those whose Spiritual Bodies were being soothed were instantly jolted back to their senses.
The scene devolved into chaos.
The females scread in terror, while the males roared, "Quick, protect the females!"
There were a dozen or so females present tonight, and they couldn’t let these damn extremists snatch them away.
It would be one thing if they were just being kidnapped to serve as soothing masters, but more often, these organizations abducted females for experintation.
These people believed that if they could just figure out why females were born with soothing abilities, they could change the entire Interstellar landscape.
The losses incurred along the way were just necessary sacrifices.
Once they beca benefactors to the entire Interstellar, no one would care about their transgressions.
That’s why they were all extremists, constantly luring new males to join and brainwashing them into believing that any sacrifice was worthwhile.
When the fruits of their experints were revealed to the world, they would all beco heroes, pioneers of a new era, and benefactors whose nas would be immortalized in the history books.
But the law-abiding males did not agree with this approach.
The ever-dwindling population of females was the karmic retribution for their past, unbridled actions!
Many even believed that the soothing ability appearing only in females was a matter of destiny.
It was the spirits of the dead females crying out for justice.
Of course, the researchers weren’t superstitious, so they subscribed to the theory of evolution: after generations of persecution, the Genes of females had evolved to give them an ability to protect themselves for the sake of survival.
From then on, males and females beca beings that held each other in check.

The one attacking Jiang Qin this ti wasn’t a big tail, but a fox that had suddenly appeared behind her.
"Dammit, it’s an S-level Shadow Fox Beastman!"
The fox had turned invisible and positioned itself behind her long ago, so the instant the lights were destroyed, she was taken hostage before she could react.
A fluffy yet sharp claw was clasped tightly around her slender neck as hot breath ghosted over her ear. "Little female, you’d better not move~ Otherwise, my claw might just *accidentally* slice open your pretty little neck~~"
The furry fox’s muzzle drew close to her cheek, and he even stuck out his tongue, as if to lick her face.
A wave of revulsion washed over Jiang Qin, and she twisted her head away.
Her movent caused the sharp claw to scrape her neck, and blood began to trickle down.
"Ah~ Such an intoxicating fragrance," the massive fox head murmured by her ear, sighing in rapture.
He seed intent on disgusting her.
Shi Lichuan, still in his human form without having undergone Beastification, tried to approach. But seeing Jiang Qin injured, his hands were tied.
"Fox Ear, don’t hurt her! We can talk this out."
There weren’t many Shadow Fox Beastn in the Federation, and only two of them were S-level.
And the one before them was none other than Zoe, who had abandoned his family, betrayed the Federation, and joined the Wanderers five years ago.
But he had since beco a bitter enemy of his own family and changed his na to Fox Ear.
In recent years, relying on the natural gifts of his Beastman Gene, he had committed nurous cris.
On top of that, the Shadow Fox race was inherently cunning. His talent was an invisibility Superpower, and he could also rge with the darkness, allowing him to stealthily move through any shadowed area.
Combined with his already high Level, he always managed to make a clean getaway.
Shi Lichuan hadn’t expected this. She was just a C-level female, yet even Fox Ear himself had co for her.
It wasn’t that he could defeat Fox Ear in a fight. The problem was that Fox Ear refused to fight him, which was incredibly frustrating.
"Well, well, if it isn’t the famous model student from the Federation Military Academy, Mr. Shi?"
"What’s this? Have you fallen so low that you’re working as muscle for a bar?"
"How about you co roll with your big bro? I can even give you a female~ One you won’t have to share with anyone."
Although Fox Ear seed to be in no hurry to leave and was even in the mood to taunt Shi Lichuan, Jiang Qin could feel that he was preparing to abduct her.
She didn’t know much about the thods Beastn used, but she knew that if she let him take her away, escaping would beco nearly impossible.
But she couldn’t make a rash move right now. After all, her Superpower had only just awakened. Even if she revealed it, there was no way she could escape from this fox’s grasp.
’I can only keep it as a trump card. I’ll have to wait for the right mont and use it only when I’m certain I can get away.’
