Chapter 424 Cooperation
So when Jiang Qin woke up groggily and realized someone was hugging her, she was almost scared.

If Long Hao hadn't mentioned his approximate return time beforehand, she probably would have screamed. Fortunately, she reacted quickly.

Sure enough, what came into view was Long Hao's face, which looked much more haggard.

He had been following the Empire's army to eliminate space pirates on the surrounding chaotic planets, especially those involved, many of whom were in gangs.

So this period has not been easy.

Moreover, he only came back this time to see Jiang Qin once.

After confirming her safety, he will return to continue participating in the plan.

Those deeply entrenched and chaotic star forces are not so easy to take down, but cutting off some of their henchmen is not a problem.

Jiang Qin's disappearance this time has indeed angered him.

So he wanted to inflict heavy losses on these space pirates without driving them to the brink of desperation.

After all, if he attracts too much hatred, it would be troublesome if those people united to take revenge on the people he cares about.

If it were the old him, he probably would have stopped caring about it long ago.

But he can't do that now. He even has to carefully consider who to target before taking action.

Jiang Qin didn't want to disturb his sleep, but she was hungry, so she moved anyway.

The moment she moved, Long Hao woke up. He held her close, and the trembling of his breath revealed the turmoil in his heart.

"Thank goodness you're alright..."

"You've seen my abilities, haven't you? I just accidentally got drugged and passed out. When I woke up, I didn't run away because I didn't feel it was time to fight to the death."

You know, if I wanted to escape, those people couldn't stop me.

Although Xiangliu's poisonous rain is somewhat indiscriminate in distinguishing between friend and foe, it is extremely easy to use to create chaos.

The reason Jiang Qin didn't make any rash moves was firstly because of Long Yue; if she took Long Yue with her, Long Yue might reveal her abilities.

Don't let Long Yue's seemingly naive and spoiled appearance fool you; someone who can remain calm and collected among so many heirs can't possibly be a fool.

So if she used her ability, Long Yue would definitely guess something.

At this moment, Jiang Qin still trusted Long Yue to some extent, but people's hearts are the most unpredictable, and anyone can change.

The person who would risk their life for you might one day take your life too.

If you don't want to reveal it, the best way is to run away and leave Long Yue behind.

But Jiang Qin couldn't do that at that moment.

Of course, she doesn't consider herself a pushover. The reason she can't do it is because she hasn't been forced to that point yet.

She hadn't encountered any danger along the way, so there was absolutely no need for her to do anything that would cause her distress.

However, she kept all these words to herself and never said them aloud.

Regardless, she was Long Hao's younger sister, and she didn't want to voice her thoughts.

So Long Hao naturally wondered why she hadn't escaped when she clearly had the ability.

It's true that she wasn't forced into a corner, and it's also true that she couldn't bear to abandon Long Yue.

The reason for the deep friendship between her and Long Yue was all for Long Hao.

"I'm sorry... I hope it won't happen again, but if it does, promise me that no matter who's around you, you'll think of yourself first, okay?"

Although Long Hao was afraid that Jiang Qin would think he was cold-blooded, he still looked at her seriously and said:

"No one is worth taking risks for, including us partners and our loved ones."

If they are guilty, they should be the ones to atone for it.

Jiang Qin: ……

She felt she was already quite selfish, but her partner felt she wasn't selfish enough.

No wonder they became bed partners. "Are you hungry? I have a lot of premium nutrient solution here. You can put it in your space later."

"I have quite a lot here too."

Long Hao: "Did Long Yue give it to you? I'll transfer the star coins to her later."

No, it was Zhan Xiao who prepared it, so Jiang Qin didn't say anything.

"Yun Xie and I have reached an agreement with the army, so I will probably have to leave again this afternoon."

Cang Hong and Shi Lichuan will come to pick you up and take you home, or you can stay in the Empire to recuperate.

But don't stay at your villa, come stay at my place, or you can stay with Long Yue.

"What agreement?" Jiang Qin asked worriedly.

Long Hao gently stroked her face, his eyes filled with endless affection. "It's nothing, it's just that there's been a war recently, so those space pirates have become a bit more rampant."

We then partnered with the military to help with the cleanup.

He helped because he had previously led a legion to wipe out space pirates, so he was quite familiar with the chaotic planets around.

With him leading the team this time, the efficiency will be faster.

Yun Xie and his group cooperated with the Federation because the Federation needed Yuan Ling.

Yuan Ling also hated these space pirates to the core, so he agreed without hesitation.

This is a perfect opportunity to take revenge by using someone else's knife.

As for Yun Xie going, it was to protect Yuan Ling, since he was a technically skilled person who wasn't good at combat.

Of course, the main reason is that Yun Xie also hates it.

So even though Jiang Qin has returned safely, their extermination plan will not stop.

...

As clever as Jiang Qin is, how could she not guess that it was because of her again?
She nestled into his arms, "I'll wait for you to come back. I hope you won't miss the birth of our baby."

"Don't worry, the first person your baby will see after he/she is born will definitely be his/her father!"

Although a little disappointed, Jiang Qin still smiled and said, "Then you might be disappointed. The baby's first impression will probably be of the nurse."

"Not necessarily. After he is born, I will stay by his side every step of the way to make sure that when he opens his eyes, he will definitely see me."

Newborn babies don't even open their eyes on the day they're born. He refused to believe that by staying by their side, the nurses taking care of them could steal their first glimpse of the baby!
Jiang Qin didn't understand his inexplicable competitive spirit, so she let him be.

The two spent the morning cuddling together. After meeting with Long Yue at noon, Cang Hong and Shi Lichuan arrived, along with Lan Yuyan.

Long Hao didn't want to watch them being all lovey-dovey, and since it was almost time, he gave them a few more instructions and then left.

"Qinqin, shall we go home?" Lan Yuyan asked.

"Let's go home, I miss home."

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

For safety's sake, he decided it would be safer to take Jiang Qin home on the Empire's official spaceship.

He was worried that too many space pirates had been killed by Yun Xie and his group recently, and that those associated with these space pirates might retaliate.

...

The person who was most reluctant to see Jiang Qin leave was Long Yue.

Although she really wanted to go to the Federation with Jiang Qin, things had been too turbulent lately, with all sides stirring up trouble.

Furthermore, her partners were also involved in the operation to eliminate space pirates, which could also lead to resentment from them.

Therefore, for safety reasons, the empire did not want her to go out.

The next morning, Long Yue reluctantly went to the ferry to see Jiang Qin and the others off. "Sister-in-law, I'll come to the Federation to visit you in a while."

"Well, I'll wait for you!"
