Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Jiang Qiuyun’s Overbearing Boyfriend, Divine Flower

"Isn’t this just a three-tailed fox? A Moonlight Fox or a Blood Fox?"

"It’s not that simple. The database has no record of it. It’s an entirely new species!"

"What?"

The military officers glanced through their binoculars.

This three-tailed fox was grand and elegant, with flickers of blazing flames dancing like ribbons by its side, exuding a natural nobility. No one could tell that it had evolved from an ordinary Red Fox.

The T0 War General-level Dragon Sculpture followed obediently behind the fox. This made everyone a little doubtful. Knight Jiang’s Dragon Sculpture was always arrogant and domineering, its combat strength on par with that of a Golden Beast Tamer’s leader-level beast!

However, this Dragon Sculpture actually recognized a fox as its leader. Could it be Jiang Qiuyun’s new contract Pet Beast?

"You all watch over the Flesh Egg first. Director Qin Shi and the reinforcements are on their way. I’ll go find Knight Jiang."

Wang Xuan, temporarily taking command, summoned a Lightning Bird and complained to his companions, "Her communicator is probably at home again."

Twenty-three voices replied in unison, "Understood!"

「...」

WHOOSH!

A cloud of elemental yellow lightning swiftly approached.

A Lightning Bird, a thunder-element Pet Beast, mid-level War General strength!

Chu Yi realized this was bad. He’d never expected that after slaying the Evil God Cultist, he would somehow still attract military personnel.

Seriously, who could understand this mess...

If I’m caught, wouldn’t the fact that Jiang Qiuyun had undergone Hypnosis Evil Fall because of me be exposed?

Could it be... should I use Ghost Hand for a Ghost Slash and wipe out this batch of military personnel?

"You’re still sleeping, damn it! There’s an earthquake! Run!"

Chu Yi pinched Jiang Qiuyun’s waist, her sensitive spot, waking her up almost immediately.

Her satin-smooth black hair draped over her, partially concealing her delicate features. Due to the desert’s dryness and intense heat, her snow-white skin was beaded with fragrant sweat, the dewdrops round and glistening, making her skin look tender and bright.

"What’s up, Dad?" Jiang Qiuyun asked drowsily, leaning against Chu Yi, tilting her head with adorable confusion.

Chu Yi had no time to appreciate this vision of a sleeping beauty. He urgently said, "Dad will play a role-playing game with you. From now on, I’ll call you Sister Jiang, and you call me Chu Yi."

"Chu...Yi? Why, Dad?"

Chu Yi’s scalp tingled. He forced a sunny smile and said coldly, "Just tell me if you’ll play or not. If you don’t, Dad will be angry, won’t talk to you anymore, and won’t give you any food."

Jiang Qiuyun was taken aback and panicked a little, unable to understand.

"Okay, Dad...Chu Yi," Jiang Qiuyun whimpered, hugging one of his arms. Her beautiful eyes welled up with tears, a mist forming over them as she timidly said, "Chu Yi, please don’t be mad."

PFFT!

Wang Xuan, who had just arrived, heard this and did a spit-take, spraying all over his Lightning Bird, which then emitted a shower of Electric Sparks.

The Lightning Bird looked utterly stunned.

Holy crap!

Wang Xuan stared in shock at the two people riding on the fox. One of them was Knight Jiang, whom he knew well!

The always heroic and cool Female Knight was actually leaning in a man’s arms, showing a weak and delicate expression. That fatally beautiful face of hers, accentuating her fair skin and beauty, made her resemble a delicate and fragile peony as she leaned against the man.

Did I hear that right? This gentle tone didn’t sound like something Jiang Qiuyun would say.

It must be a disguise! When this she-devil first joined the City Defense Army, a group of people had come forward, questioning if she had used connections to get into the Special Warfare Department. As a result, every single one of them was thrown into the lake and left adrift for an entire day.

"Sister Jiang, I’m not mad. I was worried you might have been harmed by the Evil God Cultists. It’s good that you’re alright," Chu Yi said elegantly, dominantly embracing her waist in a tight hug.

Wang Xuan was shocked once again.

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and he vaguely guessed something.

Could it be that Jiang Qiuyun took leave because she’s secretly seeing a young boyfriend and brought him to the Bloody Wilderness to level up? To be favored by this heaven-favored young woman, this man... ahem, boy must be an excellent Beast Tamer. And the Evil God Cultists just happened to run into them and were slain by the duo.

Though there were still some suspicious points, Wang Xuan felt his brain couldn’t handle it anymore. He decided to stop overthinking it and simply report to Director Qin Shi.

"CHIRP!"

The Dragon Sculpture noticed the Lightning Bird, its eyes flashing with purple light as it called out. After all, their masters were colleagues, and their Pet Beasts had met before, so they exchanged greetings.

"CHATTER!"

The Lightning Bird quickly landed in front of Bika, creating a dazzling shower of sparks, making for a very cool entrance.

Bika stopped, its three tail flames like ice dragons emerging from the sea, the Golden Flames flickering. Its erupting aura rivaled that of the Lightning Bird.

This fox... is no simple creature, Wang Xuan thought, his pupils shrinking. Only at close range did he finally understand Bika’s terrifying nature. The flames were golden, and even he, a Silver-rank, felt a slight Scorch from them. Moreover, this boy was too young; he was probably the son of some prominent Beast Taming Family or the heir to a secret legacy.

"You are the Beast Tamers who slew the Evil God Cultists, right? I’ll report this. The reward will be issued soon."

Wang Xuan glanced at Jiang Qiuyun. Is she ’concealing’ her identity to show a softer side in front of her boyfriend? Heh, women.

"Hello, sir. If you’re talking about the Evil God Cultists," Chu Yi said, calming Bika. He paused, then pointed to the throbbing Flesh and Blood Divine Tree. "That would be them."

Speaking of this, Chu Yi added, "Most of it was done by Sister Jiang. I only contributed a negligible amount of help."

"CHIRP!"

The Dragon Sculpture froze for a moment.

Is he giving me the credit just to shut me up? it wondered. Humph! Well, for the sake of snacks, I suppose it’s acceptable. I’ll keep this secret and get snacks from you for life!

It immediately put on an arrogant air and began to boast to the Lightning Bird about how it had displayed its divine might and eliminated the utterly idiotic Evil God Cultist.

The Lightning Bird looked on with envy. As expected of a T0-level senior, completing such a major task so easily!

"Ah, oh, okay," Wang Xuan said, subconsciously looking at Jiang Qiuyun.

The latter didn’t react but maintained the appearance of a well-behaved child, blinking her beautiful eyes as she listened to the "elders" talk, just like a...

Good girl?

Damn it, why am I getting such a ridiculous idea? Wang Xuan thought. To maintain a perfect image in front of her boyfriend, Jiang Qiuyun’s acting is too brilliant! She’s like a completely different person, as if she had multiple personalities! So, Jiang Qiuyun is completely love-obsessed.

"Alright then, I’ll report this. You two have worked hard." Wang Xuan nodded. His ears twitched as he received instructions. He then said, "However, some details need to be supplemented. Both of you should come to our military camp for tea and a chat. Director Qin Shi will present the awards to you personally."

Chu Yi nodded and looked at Jiang Qiuyun. "Sister Jiang, you must be tired too. Want to go rest for a bit?"

"Okay," Jiang Qiuyun smiled.

Finally, we got through that, Chu Yi thought, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.

At this moment, the Flesh and Blood Divine Tree trembled slightly, then, like a mushroom, it sprayed a cloud of snow-white, sparkling spores that swarmed towards Chu Yi.

Chu Yi stared, aghast.
