Qian Qi shook his head, "I just feel that he is a qualified ruler."
Su Xingchen might not be a good father, but he is definitely a qualified ruler.
Just from the fact that he learned this world would soon be destroyed by demons and resolutely pushed his own son into the public eye, concealing this for 20 years, it’s clear he is desperately searching for a sliver of hope, a sliver of human civilization’s continuity.
The masses can’t know the cruel truth.
Even for Qian Qi himself, he occasionally recalls the system’s firm assertion that this place will be destroyed by demons, causing him to deliberately avoid thinking about it. It’s imaginable what those emotionally unstable would do if they knew the truth, they might even harm innocent citizens.
Human nature cannot withstand testing.
So sotis the truth is important, but sotis it isn’t.
"Next, let temporarily take your place~" Qian Qi stood up and flashed a radiant smile at Su Ang, "You’ve worked hard, Senior Su Ang."
Her deteriorating small face was pockmarked and even had streaks of blood, looking frightening and terrifying, but Su Ang couldn’t look away his gaze filled with the warm and radiant smile of the girl’s beautiful face, making his heart begin to revive from its dead and rotten state.
He knew he shouldn’t believe Qian Qi really thought he had worked hard, just as he didn’t believe her saying he was a good person before.
But for so reason, at this mont he wanted to deceive himself, deceive himself into believing Qian Qi.
Believe that she cared about him.
Turns out he also needed faith.
He took a slight step back, afraid the drum-like sound of his beating heart in the chest would be detected by the girl as abnormal, the silver-haired young man tightened his fists and lowered his dense eyelashes to hide the quickly flooding dependency in his eyes, "You also... worked hard."
Seeing Su Ang step back, Qian Qi thought he was scared by her face and hurriedly covered her face, "Oh, sorry, I forgot my face isn’t healed yet."
Seeing Qian Qi misunderstood, Su Ang quickly wanted to explain but got stuck at finding a reason to cover his true thoughts, only for Gong Qiang to enter the tent again, carrying a tray and said to Qian Qi, "Brother Qian, you and your contracted beast’s al is ready!"
"So quick?" Qian Qi’s attention imdiately switched, and she happily ran over to take the steaming al, "Last ti you spent quite so ti..."
"I had people prepare the White Extre Rat’s feed days before I entered the instance, now it’s just using them early." Gong Qiang answered not understanding Qian Qi’s surprise.
"Oh my!" Qian Qi exclaid dramatically, "Brother Qiang, didn’t expect although you’re rough, your heart’s actually quite detailed! I used to be judgntal!"
Gong Qiang: ?
Was that sarcasm, apology, or complint?
"Let’s eat, let’s eat~" Qian Qi expressed her feelings and happily carried the tray out of the tent, while Gong Qiang looked at Su Ang intending to suggest he could eat by himself but suddenly noticed sothing strange, "Brother Su, why is your face so red?"
"What?" Su Ang was stunned for a mont, instinctively felt his face and realized his cheeks were burning hot.
He felt like soone discovered a long-hidden secret, and abruptly bypassing Gong Qiang, quickly said, "It must be too hot, let’s go eat."
"Hot?" Gong Qiang looked at the cold winter outside, shaking his head puzzled, "Where is it hot, could it be frostbite?"
...
Qian Qi called Moyu and Qian Ba, munching on food, heading with Gong Qiang to the nearby built airport, where nurous Magic Beast corpses were piled up and the White Extre Rats were elegantly dining as usual.
So after dining directly started making babies near them, making Qian Qi twitch her face not wanting to look directly, a lot of reporters lingered on the airport’s edge, crazily extending caras photographing every move of the White Extre Rats, and so of them were striking poses in front of the caras crazily.
Those posing rats seed to get appearance fees, as long as reporters fed them so shiny jewels and rings, they’d wear those accessories and strike so super cool poses, almost more dedicated than contemporary models.
Upon seeing Qian Qi and others coming over, those posing White Extre Rats joyfully squeaked, running over here, their entire bodies jingling with clashing jewels and accessories, leaving Qian Qi dumbfounded.
"Even though I know pets follow their owner’s lead, I don’t recall displaying any greedy and lustful tendencies in front of the White Extre Rats?!"
Why are they so greedy and lustful?
Whatever, that’s not important. What’s important is that my own contractor really earns for them~
Oh~ co~ let mommy give a kiss~
Qian Qi bent down, reached out, wanting to catch those White Extre Rats, but saw them directly bypassing her, running towards Moyu.
Then Moyu’s cackling voice rang from behind, "Caw caw caw~ Just what I’d expect from Fifth Brother’s little buddies! Collecting so much shiny stuff for ! Rest assured, once you gather a thousand shiny things, I will curse you to not give birth to A-level rat babies, only B-level rat babies!"
Qian Qi: ...
Qian Qi: ???
Damn it—Is that how you’re supposed to use the curse ability?!
I’ve been wondering why the White Extre Rats’ reproduction ability has been so strong lately, turns out you’ve been secretly cursing them to have babies?!!!
And gather a thousand shiny things—your boasting is more ridiculous than mine! Don’t bully the White Extre Rats simply because they’re not as intelligent as you!
"Tsk tsk..." Gong Qiang watched the scene, his gaze directed at Qian Qi was filled with clear mocking, "Youth surpassing the master, your pie-drawing nonsense skills are top-notch."
Qian Qi: ..."Thanks for the complint, don’t do it again in the future."
After finishing her al, Qian Qi began organizing als for several contracted beasts, just in ti the Poisonous Venomous Python returned with the Defense Helt in its mouth. Qian Qi lined up Moyu, Qian Ba, and Poisonous Venomous Python in order, then asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Unlike the White Extre Rat’s sharp teeth, Moyu’s throat is delicate, she needs to cut at chunks to feed it, Qian Ba’s teeth aren’t good either, picky about not liking beast skin, and as for Poisonous Venomous Python...
Qian Qi looked up at Poisonous Venomous Python’s size, feeling it could swallow a whole magic beast, seemingly not needing her to cut at to feed it.
After Moyu and Qian Ba chose their preferred Magic Beast, Qian Qi took out a small knife to cut at for them, while asking the Poisonous Venomous Python, "Little Poison, which one do you want to eat? Feel free to choose."
The Poisonous Venomous Python still rembered its substitute matter, plus after the contract with Qian Qi, it could clearly feel Qian Qi’s fondness was not as much as for Moyu and Qian Ba.
One could even say her feelings for it were simply the responsibility a contractor has for a contracted beast, rather than that so-called affection.
Presumably if Black Slippery was here, she would personally feed Black Slippery, right?
Feeling a little sour, the Poisonous Venomous Python rather bitterly said, "Eat Black Slippery."
Qian Qi: ?
