"Congratulations, Host, on completing today’s mission. You have earned a total of 14 points. Your current total is 15 points." The system’s congratulatory voice rang in Jiang Zheyu’s ear.
Jiang Zheyu let out a small sigh of relief when she heard the announcent. ’There’s no way I’m dying of embarrassnt!’
She looked at the boy inside the cage and saw the chains on his body. It was only then that she rembered the chains could control his actions. She didn’t actually need to be afraid.
Jiang Zheyu had planned to distance herself from the boy, but then she rembered he was still in chains. She slowly walked over and, under the Wolf Boy’s sharp gaze, opened the cage.
A flicker of confusion crossed Mo Chuan’s deep, ink-black eyes as he watched Jiang Zheyu quietly.
Jiang Zheyu t the boy’s gaze, paused, and then spoke. "After I leave, I’ll order these chains to self-destruct. You can leave on your own then."
The Wolf Boy’s brow furrowed. One of his wolf ears twitched, folding down before straightening up again. He didn’t speak, just watched her quietly.
He had no way of checking his Beastification Value, so he couldn’t know if the girl had truly managed to purify it with her Spiritual Touch Silk. All he knew was that while she had her eyes closed, he had felt very comfortable, and even the pain from his wounds had eased considerably.
’Did she really use her Spiritual Touch Silk to soothe ?’
Jiang Zheyu, for her part, didn’t expect a reply.
She needed to go treat her wounds. Just thinking about it made them start to ache again.
The main door shut with a CREAK. Jiang Zheyu was gone, leaving Mo Chuan alone in the large hall.
Fifteen minutes later, just as the girl had said, the chains on his body all self-destructed.
’She... she really let go.’
"Hey, if you can get out, then hurry up and go." Soone vaulted into the quiet hall, and a set of clothes was tossed unceremoniously at Mo Chuan.
Rose spoke to him curtly.
Mo Chuan schooled his expression. After dressing, he struggled to slowly climb out of the cage. His tone was flat. "Why would the organization send Yan Luo and you?"
"You don’t need to know too much." Rose had no intention of revealing that Yan Luo was a female. "All you need to know is that we could have rescued you, but the plan was disrupted because that female showed up."
He shot Mo Chuan another strange look. "That female really did let you go."
In any case, he had co to rescue Mo Chuan.
Neither held much affection for the other, so they left together in silence.
The interstellar night was an even more stunning sight to Jiang Zheyu, a true child of Earth.
Hovercraft streaked across the sky, weaving together like thousands of moonlit threads to create a fantastical panorama.
Countless skyscrapers, lit up from top to bottom, resembled a brilliant sea of stars when viewed from afar.
Jiang Zheyu slowly sifted through the original owner’s mories, then hailed an autonomous hovercraft to the Interstellar First Hospital.
"Host, your makeup..." the system reminded her slowly.
Only then did Jiang Zheyu rember she hadn’t taken off her makeup. She had wandered all the way to the hospital wearing this grotesque look.
She instantly wanted the ground to swallow her whole.
"System, why didn’t you tell sooner?" Jiang Zheyu’s face was stiff.
"Host, I only just rembered myself," the system explained.
Jiang Zheyu silently reached for the mask in her pocket, only to realize she was no longer wearing her original pink tracksuit.
She silently lowered her hand.
’It’s fine! It’s fine! It’s fine!’
She comforted herself. ’My makeup is so ugly and sared with tears right now, there’s no way anyone will recognize !’
"Oh! Miss Jiang, why are you queuing up with these Male Beastn?" A passing male nurse suddenly stopped. "The VIP lane for females is over here. You’re so badly hurt, co this way quickly."
Jiang Zheyu followed him with a wooden expression.
There were only two people in line ahead of her, so it would have been her turn soon anyway. That’s why she hadn’t bothered with any special lane for females.
She hadn’t expected a Beastman to actually recognize her.
’No, he must have recognized the original owner.’
After all, the original owner had always worn this kind of makeup.
The Male Beastman must have known her, as he quickly led her to her attending physician.
That’s right. In the interstellar era, females with spiritual power were extrely precious. Each one was assigned a dedicated attending physician.
From then on, for any ailnt, the female would only need to see that specific doctor.
Soon, the male nurse brought her to an office.
"Doctor Li is inside, Miss Jiang. Please go in." The Male Beastman gave Jiang Zheyu a smile with his plain, harmless-looking face. His expression was neutral, showing no sign of fawning or particular fondness.
"Alright, thank you," Jiang Zheyu replied out of habit.
The Male Beastman paused for a mont but left without another word.
Jiang Zheyu knocked on the white office door. Soon, a voice as clear and cold as snow drifted from within. "Co in."
The voice jolted Jiang Zheyu’s mories of the original owner’s attending physician.
As she recalled the original owner’s mories, she discovered they weren’t pleasant ones.
The original owner had also taken a liking to her attending physician. She would feign all sorts of illnesses to see him, and then deliberately try to get handsy with him during the consultations.
Logically, if the original owner liked a Beastman, she wouldn’t have just let it be. As long as the Male Beastman was single, she could have reported it to the Empire and forced a match.
However, the original owner wasn’t the only one who had her eyes on the attending physician; other females did too.
And one of those females had a higher Spiritual Power Level than her.
A female’s Spiritual Power Level determined her social status in the interstellar society.
A single level was enough to completely crush soone. So, while the original owner liked her attending physician, she could only try to get handsy in secret and didn’t dare try to claim him outright.
Co to think of it, the original owner had even fought other females over the doctor—the kind of brawl involving hair-pulling, biting, and throwing tantrums.
In the end, because the other woman’s level was higher, she was the one who ended up grounded at ho.
"Co in." Hearing that the person outside hadn’t entered, the voice inside spoke again.
Jiang Zheyu snapped out of the original owner’s mories and slowly pushed open the white door.
’Whatever the original owner’s persona was, I can’t be bothered to follow it.’
’And I don’t care how people react to my personality changing so drastically.’
’From now on, I am just .’
The young man beside the desk wore a pair of gold-rimd glasses. His features were as clear and cold as snow, and his narrow, silver eyes were calm and reserved. He had neat, short silver hair and wore a white lab coat, his gaze lowered as he wrote sothing on a piece of paper.
Jiang Zheyu’s mind inappropriately drifted to the risqué photos of the white tiger boy in the original owner’s album. Though they looked different, it seed both of their beast forms were white tigers.
