Chapter 15: Host! You Are So Heartless and Cold!
While Qiao Xin was arguing with Xiao i, Hua Qinmo’s face had already drawn close to hers. Approaching with the crisp, cool scent of the forest, Qiao Xin instinctively took a deep breath, as if stepping into a natural oxygen bar that refreshed her entire being.
“Xiang Xiang~” Hua Qinmo looked at her with dazed eyes, and behind that exquisite face, a head slowly emerged, then, like a puppy, he sniffed around her.
Qiao Xin didn’t dare provoke him but found his behavior quite rude. Gritting her teeth, she simply closed her eyes and pretended to sleep.
Perhaps it was the overwhelming forest aura, and since Hua Qinmo didn’t do anything more intrusive, she soon truly fell asleep. Hua Qinmo, still dazed, paused for a moment and then curled up beside her.
The domineering vines gradually softened and eventually vanished, revealing a body clad in a white hospital gown.
Hua Qinmo glanced at it and happily embraced the sleeping Qiao Xin.
An exasperated Xiao i thought: Is this even possible? The original host supposedly had no talent for supernatural abilities, and neither does its own host! How was this soothing achieved?
Because she was calmed, Xiao i dared not disturb Qiao Xin’s sleep and just kept watch nervously, afraid that this powerful figure might suddenly go berserk and endanger its host!
This was a formidable figure who had shaken the capital star!
Unfortunately, in the end, he died in a wild frenzy.
Meanwhile, the capital star’s defense and patrol forces had all mobilized, searching the area around the explosion.
“Are you fools? Such an important matter, and you didn’t even request escort from the legion!” a gray-haired general shouted angrily at the people on the other side of the holo-screen.
“General Lin, before transport, we had already put the subject into a dormant state. All monitoring data was normal until the incident. The mutation happened suddenly. Even with legion escort, the same thing would have occurred,” someone earnestly explained.
“We don’t want to shirk responsibility, but please find him quickly—he’s extremely dangerous!” An elderly man stepped forward, pleading sincerely.
“Old Wei, be honest with me—how dangerous is he exactly?” General Lin suppressed his anger. Despite his fury, he respected the elder.
“Oh, nothing much—just enough to destroy half of the capital star,” the elder waved his hand casually.
General Lin’s eyes widened, trembling and speechless.
Destroy half the capital star and call it nothing?
This must be aimed at destroying him personally!
What grudge could they possibly have?
“Ahem, well, the losses will be on us. I will explain to the Alliance. Please bear with us in the search,” the elder said, seeing General Lin stunned, finally feeling a bit embarrassed.
But an experimental subject with an SSS-level talent was not so easily replaced.
Dead or alive, they had to find him!
“Where’s his information?” General Lin relented.
“Uh, no detailed data, only images of his mutated form and his original appearance,” the elder awkwardly showed two pictures. General Lin’s vision darkened.
One was the mutated form of tree vines; the other, a pale man. They were the same person?
With a target now identified, General Lin immediately distributed the information to all units.
Since there were no specific details, there was no risk of leaks.
But everyone who received the data was equally stunned.
This was harder to find than a tree!
The capital star had been restless overnight. At dawn, Hua Qinmo suddenly leapt out the window beside Qiao Xin.
Xiao i was ecstatic and promptly woke Qiao Xin.
Half-asleep, Qiao Xin listened to Xiao i’s frantic description, frowning slightly.
According to Xiao i, Hua Qinmo might have regained consciousness. But to go looking for him?
What a joke!
She was a powerless minor—going after a volatile powerhouse? Did she want a quick death?
Ignoring Xiao i, and unable to sleep, she simply decided to make breakfast.
There was no yeast powder in the star system, but the system’s store had some.
She couldn’t make buns or steamed bread yesterday, but today she could.
She had already prepared the filling yesterday.
While proofing the dough, she also made handmade noodles, checked the favorability value, filled in ten sets of machines, and set recipes suitable for children.
Why work harder when she could save effort?
She had the means, after all!
“Host, do you know where he went?” Xiao i’s terrified voice sounded.
“You know?” Qiao Xin kept working on breakfast, the aroma filling the air, not very concerned.
“Ahhh! He went to the capital star research institute and caused chaos!” Xiao i squealed like a screeching chicken.
Qiao Xin was stunned. “You know why?”
“Let me check his detailed files.” Xiao i was silent for a long while, then began to sob. “Host, he’s so pitiful. Since his mental power went berserk, people have studied him every day. His final frenzy was to avenge himself…”
“Enough. Respect others’ fates!” Qiao Xin cut him off.
Xiao i: ???
Host, must you be so calm?
“Host, although the rewards for random missions are random, this character is special, so the rewards are special too!” Xiao i tempted her, sensing what she cared about.
“No specific rewards, and the mission is too dangerous. I’m just an ordinary person. Respecting others’ fates is already doing him a favor!” Qiao Xin thought about how she hadn’t screamed in fear yesterday and had a good sleep, so she didn’t despise Hua Qinmo’s rudeness too much.
If she were equally strong, she’d definitely give him a good beating!
A handsome face is no immunity card!
“Host! You’re so heartless and cold!” Xiao i yelled passionately.
Qiao Xin twitched her face. “What nonsense have you been reading? I prefer you a little more useless!”
“Host, can you bear to watch such a good-looking person die in a frenzy? Heaven values life. Don’t you need a powerful tool? Tame him, enslave him, make him crazy… no, make him mad for love!”
Xiao i switched tactics again. Qiao Xin firmly replied with a cold expression, “Stop watching those ridiculous things!”
“But aren’t those your favorites?” Xiao i looked innocent.
Qiao Xin blushed but defended herself seriously.
“I like them, but I don’t imitate! Know reality! If you want, watch some star system dramas!”
Xiao i scorned, “Star system dramas all have battles—boring! I think bringing your favorite shows here would be a hit.”
“Heh, if you like, make them yourself. Don’t bother me!” Qiao Xin thought Xiao i was like a fly to meat when it met Hua Qinmo, even pulling out silly dramas.
When she studied nutritionist materials, she found the star system’s laws were strict and firmly enforced. As an SSS-level talent with supernatural powers, Hua Qinmo’s identity was certainly special.
She, a mere fledgling with a reserve status, would die on contact!
Truth only exists within cannon range. All threats come from insufficient force!
She wasn’t about to be a sacrificial lamb!
Picking up injured men was a lesson every time-traveling woman learned!
She just wanted to live peacefully with her parents. Nothing else should be involved!
