Chapter 88: Sai Fulola 04

The males beside them saw Qiu Yi's action and became extremely anxious; Bao Jing's eye corners turned red, Lin Zhi Jing's expression was cold enough to freeze a person, and Yi Yang was about to cry.

Just as Ye Xi'an thought she would kill herself and was preparing to teleport away, Qiu Yi's hand pinched her soft, white cheek, leaving a white indentation.

Huh?

Ye Xi'an blinked open her eyes, which had been shut tight from fear, and stared blankly at the strikingly aggressive-looking female before her, wondering what she was doing.

"What are you afraid of?" Qiu Yi pinched Ye Xi'an's cheek, smiled satisfied, knowing the female's cheek must be soft: "I won't do anything to you."

Although the female said that and showed no hostility, Ye Xi'an still dared not believe it easily: "Then why can't they move?"

"They."

Before Qiu Yi could explain, a whistle suddenly came from the distance, sounding like some kind of bird.

Ye Xi'an immediately looked toward the sound source, while Qiu Yi wore an expression of helplessness—how could they have noticed her disappearance so quickly? These males simply can't be apart from her for a moment.

In the distance, a black-clad and a white-clad male rushed over. The white one wore a semi-translucent milky-white gauze robe, embroidered from left shoulder to right waist with a peacock glowing cyan-blue, and a silk-woven belt loosely tied around his waist, making him look like someone doing traditional Chinese art.

The black one wore a Zhongshan suit, as if competing with the white one, embroidered with a shining golden flying dragon on the suit.

But at this moment both were wounded, their clothes torn, looking somewhat disheveled.

"Honey!" the black and white males rushed over, hugging Qiu Yi and checking her all over; only after finding no injury did they relax.

Their wife always does this—disappearing without a word, leaving them worried all day.

"I'm fine, let go." Qiu Yi's expression was icy cold, her tone that of a tough girl.

She pushed aside the two males and continued speaking to Ye Xi'an: "Don't worry, I merely immobilized them with my psychic power; I'm releasing them now—you tell them not to attack."

After all, if they started fighting, only they would suffer.

Ye Xi'an examined Qiu Yi and the three males, then hesitated and nodded.

The next second, Bao Jing felt he could move, immediately stepping between Qiu Yi and Ye Xi'an; although he hadn't made a move, his attitude was indeed not good.

"What do you want to do?"

Qiu Yi's face, which had held a hint of smile, turned completely cold; she crossed her arms, her black coat fluttering in the wind, looking at Bao Jing as if he were trash: "I want to speak with your female master; what business does a single male have? Get out of the way."

"Female master" is the term males use to address females in a marital relationship; in everyday life they usually call them "wife."

Bao Jing frowned, his complexion instantly turning ashen, his thin lips pressed into a straight line; although he had been insulted, he couldn't say anything.

Seeing Bao Jing's aggrieved look, the originally timid Ye Xi'an suddenly felt a surge of courage, she pulled him close, her delicate brows slightly furrowed, and firmly told Qiu Yi: "I admit your family is strong, but you can't bully people, right?"

"Really?" Qiu Yi's beautiful face showed a hint of grievance: "I just wanted to get to know you, but the males in your household seem unaware of etiquette."

In conversation, females must not be interrupted by males.

"Then you also can't say such rude things to him! Only I can tell him to get lost!"

Bao Jing, standing behind Ye Xi'an, heard her defending him and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, his eyes bending.

With just a touch on Qiu Yi's chin, Ye Xi'an lifted her head, glaring defiantly; although Qiu Yi had thought Ye Xi'an was clueless—after all, a female of her status isn't someone just anyone can befriend—seeing her adorable appearance, all his anger vanished.

"Fine, fine, you're right." Qiu Yi said, reaching to pinch Ye Xi'an's cheek again, but Ye Xi'an dodged.

Qiu Yi felt a bit regretful but didn't dwell on it: "Then I won't make him leave; can we be friends? I'm Qiu Yi, a level-seven psychic beastman black panther."

Level seven!

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed; Bao Jing and the others hadn't expected the female who posted the mission to already be level seven—knowing that on Zhu Shen Xing, only a dozen or so females have psychic ability above level seven, one of whom is the Empire's marshal.

I never expected to run into them today.

And Qiu Yi's two beast husbands were worried; normally his wife rarely speaks to others, and even when she does she doesn't reveal her background—why is today so different?

They looked at Ye Xi'an, wondering if it was because of this female.

"Do you all introduce yourselves like that?" Ye Xi'an's expression stiffened as she awkwardly mimicked Qiu Yi's self-introduction: "I'm Ye Xi'an, a level-three ragdoll cat beastman."

Yi Yang and Ji Jiangci were still reeling from the shock that Qiu Yi was a level-seven ability user, when they suddenly heard Ye Xi'an was actually level three?

Instantly shock turned to delight; if Ye Xi'an weren't talking with Qiu Yi, they would have wanted to excitedly hug her to celebrate.

Although the ability level isn't as high as Qiu Yi's, any level is rare for our household—especially since Ye Xi'an hasn't even formally taken a mission yet, how did she reach level three?

"I knew it." Qiu Yi's face softened a little, her sharp features gentle: "You're so cute, you must be a feline."

Ye Xi'an blushed at the praise, not understanding why this strange female master was being so friendly; level seven—that's even stronger than Lin Zhi Jing.

"You're here for a mission, right?" Qiu Yi's expression turned serious: "A drastic mutation has occurred here; many plants have turned into monsters, and even flamethrowers can't stop them."

"You've also seen that this monster is beyond even my family's power, while you—"

Qiu Yi paused, glanced at Lin Zhi Jing, then withdrew her gaze.

She didn't continue speaking, but that gaze clearly showed disdain for her family's weakness.

"So I advise you to quickly return and change your mission, and meanwhile report to the Federation to adjust the planet's difficulty rating, so no one else gets hurt."

"Of course, if you don't want to go back, that's fine too; I posted the mission, so help should arrive soon, and then we can all go up together and maybe give it a shot."

Ye Xi'an's eyes flickered; she wondered what would happen if she told Qiu Yi that it was her weak-chicken family that took the mission.

Just as she was struggling with what to say, the bushes behind everyone, which had been silent, suddenly burst with white light, and Ye Xi'an instinctively shouted: "Watch out!"
