You agreed to farm together, but you secretly went to guard the beast?

Before leaving, Qian Qi left Xi Pingzhe some evolution materials and also bought a book called "How to Become a Successful Flying Wolf" from the system and gave it to Xi Pingzhe.

"Master has nothing to teach you, this is all I can give you!" Qian Qi patted Xi Pingzhe's shoulder apologetically.

Nishihira Tetsuo flipped through the Flying Wolf Breeding Manual transmitted from the personal terminal and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Is this what you call "nothing to teach"?!

This book is practically like chewing up knowledge and spitting it directly into his mouth!
They even picked up a napkin and wiped the crumbs from his mouth, which was so thoughtful it was outrageous!
Thinking this, Xi Pingzhe couldn't help but glare fiercely at Su Ang, who was standing next to Qian Qi.

That jerk got off easy!
Su Ang stood behind Qian Qi with a calm expression. "Qi Qi, your apprentice is glaring at me again."

Nishihira Tetsuya: ?

That green tea b*tch! Using that trick again?

"Alright, alright, let's go." Qian Qi took Su Ang's hand. "You should get some rest. When we get back to the orphanage, I'll have the director prepare a private room for you."

The silver-haired youth obediently followed her, his gentle gaze falling softly on their clasped hands. "Why do we need to prepare a single room? Shouldn't we just get a bigger bed?"

Qian Qi paused for a moment, then said, "Ah... really? Well, that works too."

Although the pace is a bit fast, it's not unacceptable. She's an adult now, and it's time for her to explore adult life.

Ok……

"Mmm, mmm...uh."

On the silver hovercar, Qian Qi finally found a moment to catch his breath and used the heel of his hand to push away the silver-haired youth's cheek. "Okay, okay!"

Why are you kissing so passionately? You can't even breathe properly.

Su Ang lowered his eyes, his fine silver hair gently brushing against his eyelashes, making him appear almost unreal, with a flawless and handsome appearance. His slender fingers encircled Qian Qi's arm, and his thin lips, softened and warm from being kissed, covered the skin on the inside of her wrist with a light peck.

Then those cold yet desire-filled eyes gazed at her with a moist look, "Want more..."

Qian Qi: !!!
Who is he trying to seduce with that incomparably handsome face!

Half an hour later, Qian Qi caught a glimpse of himself in the rearview mirror, immediately kicked Su Ang away, and angrily covered the marks on his neck, "How could you do so many? The dean and the others will see this!"

It doesn't matter if the director sees it, the key is that there are so many children in the orphanage—

It will corrupt children!
Su Ang seemed to realize his mistake, hanging his head and remaining silent. He then reached into his pocket with his right hand and pitifully handed over an item.

A box of Band-Aids.

Qian Qi: ...

He didn't admit his mistake at all! In fact, he was prepared for it!
"Shall I put it on for you?" Su Ang clutched the band-aid, his puppy-like eyes full of pitiful longing, but when his gaze fell on Qian Qi's neck, it became extremely aggressive.

"I'll put it on myself!"

Qian Qi snatched the band-aid. She had every reason to suspect that once Su Ang took the band-aid, he would re-absorb the marks on his neck, making them even deeper, before putting the band-aid back on.

Then she'll have to wear bandages for at least a week!

Watching Qian Qi blush as she carefully applied the band-aid to her face in the rearview mirror, leaving no trace, Su Ang couldn't help but smile and put his arm around Qian Qi's waist.

"I was wrong," the silver-haired youth apologized sincerely. "Next time, kiss me where no one can see."

Qian Qi: ...

Ughhhhhh, shut up!
-

When Qian Qi returned to the orphanage, he was greeted with stares from all the children.

"Qian Qi, are you injured?"

The child, Bing, looked at the band-aid on Qian Qi's neck with a blank expression and asked with concern, "Should we go to the hospital to get it checked out?"

The second child sighed softly, "That's not an injury, you idiot."

Qian Qi, sweating profusely, patted the child's head. "He's not injured; he was bitten by insects."

"Ah, I see." Child C nodded, then innocently asked, "Did you kill the bug?"

"Cough cough cough." Su Ang coughed violently from the side.

Child C looked at Su Ang with concern, "Lord Su, are you sick? Shall I get you some cold medicine?" Child B dragged Child C away speechlessly.

Xiao Min teased Su Ang's arm with her elbow, "Brother Su, not bad! You've grown up!"

"It's all thanks to the teachers' excellent instruction," Su Ang said modestly.

Xiaomin was overjoyed. She grabbed her brother Xiaoan and ran off, waving at Su Ang, "Then we won't disturb your time together!"

"Su Ang, let's go." Qian Qi called out as he turned around, "To see the dean."

Su Ang lifted his leg to follow: "Is this considered meeting the parents?"

"Oh, right." Qian Qi stopped in his tracks. "We should bring some gifts when meeting the parents. How about we go to the mall first..."

Before she could finish speaking, she heard the sound of a truck stopping outside, followed by the driver's loud voice, "Old Lamb Horn is here! Come out and sign for it!"

"Old Ram's Horn" is slang among Awakened Ones, meaning Grade A goods, which is short for Grade A weapons and Grade A armor.

"You bought it?" Qian Qi asked in surprise.

“Yes, I ordered it on the way here.” Su Ang nodded. “Father said you’ve already bought S-grade armor for the children, so I thought I could only send them A-grade weapons.”

He said earnestly, "With the monster hordes appearing more and more frequently, the children should also have a handy weapon and learn self-defense skills as soon as possible."

Qian Qi's gaze drifted to the truck outside. "Oh...did your father say anything else to you?"

“No.” Su Ang shook his head.

"Oh." Qian Qi said "oh" again, then looked away and said, "Let's go, now we can see the dean."

Meeting with the dean was nothing more than a casual chat. Afterwards, Su Ang's new identity was reintroduced to the dean. Finally, Qian Qi sent Su Ang away to go upstairs to change his bed.

"Dean, there's something I need to tell you."

Qian Qi's expression turned serious, and the dean also became serious. "Go on," he said.

“A magical beast with strength far exceeding S-rank has appeared in Qingzhou. Although it has been temporarily driven away, no one can guarantee that it will not break into human settlements again and bring serious disasters to humanity.”

“But that’s not what I’m concerned about. It’s…” Qian Qi paused, “The monster tides are becoming more and more frequent. Who knows when it will be Yancheng’s turn? Besides, I have a bad feeling that there will be more than one S-class beast in the future.”

"Is the situation outside really that dire?" Xiang Wenyun frowned. "Then...you're not going to deal with these S-rank magical beasts, are you? Will it be dangerous? Qiqi, is this your own choice, or are you being forced?"

“It hasn’t come to that point yet.” Qian Qi shook his head. “In any case, I might not be able to take care of you at that time, so you must be well-trained to escape to the escape location I have prepared for you.”

Xiang Wenyun was taken aback. After a moment, she asked softly, "Is it the instance in the backyard?"

Qian Qi was surprised, then smiled, "So you already knew, Dean."

“You often go there and disappear without a trace, I’m not stupid.” Xiang Wenyun chuckled. “Once a monster wave breaks out, I will safely send the children into the dungeon.”

"Hmm, do you remember when I hired a company to dig an air-raid shelter for us?"

Xiang Wenyun nodded.

"There is actually a second path inside, which leads to the backyard instance. I hope that when the monsters appear, you will not go through the surface, but escape quickly from underground to the instance."

"no problem."

"And..." Qian Qi paused, "I hope that Dean, you won't meddle in other people's business."

Xiang Wenyun was taken aback.

"Don't... worry about other people's lives." Qian Qi stared straight at Xiang Wenyun. "Promise me, just protect the children."

Once the apocalypse arrives, monsters will roam the ground, and no one knows when it will end.

However, resources in an E-level dungeon are limited, and the food stored inside will eventually be exhausted.

Xiang Wenyun is an ordinary woman who hasn't awakened her powers, and she has so many children. If she softens her heart and brings others into the instance, the outcome is predictable.

To be replaced, enslaved, and devoured.

Xiang Wenyun had clearly figured out the crux of the matter. After pursing her lips, she nodded and said, "Okay, I promise you." (End of this chapter)
