She was starting to feel a little uneasy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knocked cautiously on the door and asked, \"Third Prince, can you really handle this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A joke! It’s just a little cooking. All you have to do is wait for us to take first place!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the reality was...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hao expressionlessly dumped the blackish-gray lump of food in front of him into the trash to be destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thankfully, he’d claimed to have a big appetite and bought extra ingredients; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had any room for trial and error.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a deep breath, he opened the recipes stored on his Light Computer and continued to study them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pour in oil... add the vegetables... add the seasonings... stir-fry!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After taking a taste, he once again expressionlessly poured it into the trash... and tapped ’Destroy’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided his cooking method was still wrong. ’Maybe I should try something else,’ he thought. ’A meat soup might be good.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin, who had been waiting for a long time, was still marveling to herself. ’Interstellar males are so domestic. Even a Prince knows how to cook.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, when she saw the pot of soup Long Hao brought out—a concoction where the original ingredients were completely unrecognizable—she fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Oh, well. Everyone has their own areas of expertise.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hao said, a little embarrassed, \"Believe it or not, this is exactly how my instructor taught me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Imperial University Life Skills Instructor: ...My reputation is ruined!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem. You should probably just drink your nutrient liquid. I’ll take this and submit it for the task.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin wanted to be polite and try a spoonful or two, but the color of the soup was simply too horrifying. In the end, she held back the courteous gesture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was the first time she had ever seen a soup that was black and green with a hint of yellow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She guessed he must have just thrown all the ingredients into one pot and stewed them together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The final result was obvious: she and Long Hao took dead last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other four males actually knew how to cook, which suggested they had paid attention in their classes back in school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[LMAO, the way Prince Hao tells a bald-faced lie with such confidence is amazing. I wonder if his instructor is on an oxygen tank right now.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Instructor: I’m truly blessed to have you as a student.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I’m from Imperial University, too. I heard a long time ago that Prince Hao skips all his classes except for Beastification, Mechanical Armor Class, and Fighting Class.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially Life Skills. He’s never passed it, not once in his entire life.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I recommend testing that soup for poison.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[The Young Marshal is still the most impressive one. He can get a high score in any subject.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[That’s not all! I never expected that even Ni Jia, a guy who’s all about business, would know how to cook.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Prince Hao: -1 point. Substandard life skills. Unable to properly care for a female.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director announced the top five contestants.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then announced, \"The first-place pair is Miss Natalie and Young Marshal Jiang. As a reward, they will each get to choose a date for tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Natalie about to speak, Jiang Qingfeng quickly cut in, \"Director, I choose Miss Jiang Qin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Very well. Selection confirmed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natalie’s expression turned ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I thought we had gotten along quite well today,’ she fumed. ’Even if Jiang Qingfeng doesn’t like me, he shouldn’t despise me!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he still chose that female from the Federation without a moment’s hesitation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only at this moment that Natalie truly realized just how much of an eyesore this female was becoming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had never even considered her worth a second glance before...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And who will Miss Natalie be choosing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Natalie replied offhandedly, \"Su Haoyang, I suppose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Haoyang looked up, surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he saw the look of appreciative desire in her eyes, he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d heard that aside from the Seventh Prince, all of this female’s partners were males over a hundred years old.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were all the type to live comfortably in positions of power on High-level Planets, and they had likely grown lax in maintaining their physical condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So, is she after my young physique?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Haoyang gave her a docile smile, his mind racing with thoughts of how to protect his virtue tomorrow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that we’ve covered the reward for first place, it’s time to announce the punishment for last place.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hao glared at the director, displeased. \"There’s a punishment?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But of course. After all, our production team has always been about fairness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others paid it no mind, but Long Hao let out a derisive snort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director didn’t seem embarrassed at all and continued to smile. \"The punishment for last place is: each of you must choose a guest of the opposite gender and deliver a confession of no less than three hundred words.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hao: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, you two, who would like to go first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Long Hao’s face turn as black as the bottom of a sooty pot, Jiang Qin said considerately, \"How about I go first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long Hao nodded, his face grim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t have gone first even if he wanted to. He needed to recall what his instructor had taught on the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Jiang Qin, however, it was simple. ’I can’t just read a bunch of sappy words,’ she thought, ’but I can sing them.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for who to choose...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She would just have to use the process of elimination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, she chose Yuan Ling. He was a quiet listener and would most likely neither take it to heart nor get the wrong idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, she felt he was quite considerate toward her. ’We can be considered friends by now, right?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin took two chairs out of her Space Button and smiled at Yuan Ling. \"May I have ten minutes of your time?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The lyrics to one song wouldn’t reach three hundred words, but two should be just about enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\" Yuan Ling sat down quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wore a white button-down shirt, and his short gray hair was styled with a side part, leaving just a few stray bangs that gave him a refined look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes were a pale, grayish-white, making his gaze seem somewhat detached, no matter what he was looking at.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first time Jiang Qin had ever taken such careful note of his appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her past impressions of him were just a collection of general descriptors: the quiet guy; the quiet, shy, but thoughtful guy; or the master craftsman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only at this moment did she feel like she was truly seeing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking a guitar from her Space Button, Jiang Qin quietly began to strum the strings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Night had fallen, and an artificial moon and countless stars twinkled in the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food judging was set up at the entrance to the village.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here stood a large tree, draped in yellow string lights. It was flanked by small village paths lined with artificial flowers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bright yellow lights cast a warm glow all around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from a long dining table, Jiang Qin and Yuan Ling were the only ones seated. Everyone else was standing or leaning against things nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m not good with the sweet nothings of a spoken confession, so I’ll sing two confession songs instead. If you just listen to the lyrics, it’s the same thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The first song is called ’Encounter’.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your unique and unfamiliar scent,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is the sign that lets me know you’re real,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We took such a long and winding road, only to meet at last,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More than anyone, I understand just how important you are,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After all this time, I’ve finally decided,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve decided,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now that I’m holding your hand, I’ll never let go,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because I know what it is I want,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as I can still lean on your shoulder...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her gentle, sweet voice seemed to carry a determined affection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The song’s lyrics weren’t fiery or passionate, but they were refreshingly pure—so much so that for a fleeting moment, Yuan Ling believed they were her true feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed this song held the words she truly wanted to say to him.\u003C\u002Fp>",1394,"2026-06-05T22:55:33.682Z",1,"novelbin.me","c14a2a9dffe38b09d2cb674b484a26a2b64c230b0abef32703c86e1c0bd9db31","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-266","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-264",500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-cover.jpg"]
