Chapter 76 Thief
Upon hearing Jiang Mian's words, Qi Xu naturally said nothing more.

"Alright, you've worked hard. Go back and rest." Jiang Mian was also preparing to go back to bed.

The other orcs were nowhere to be found.

Rong Fei went out again after bringing her back.

Jiang Mian didn't ask the other person what they were going out to do.

Now only she and Qixu are left in the small building.

Jiang Mian suddenly wondered if someone might break into her home and rob her.

Her instruments and such are all very expensive, costing a lot of Star Coins.

Now it's just her and Qixu.

In her eyes, Qixu was a cute little rabbit, good at being a diligent little housekeeper, but probably not good at fighting with thugs.

Her house is quite ordinary now, and it doesn't exude any air of wealth yet, so probably no one has any designs on it.

But there's no guarantee that the other orcs won't be home today. If a thief breaks in to rob us, that would be a real disaster.

A defense system needs to be set up, and Jiang Mian naturally thought of Rong Fei.

It shouldn't be too difficult for a mechanic to create a defense system.

Jiang Mian planned to mention it to Rong Fei when he returned.

Unexpectedly, her worst fears came true; a thief did break in.

Jiang Mian was lying in bed when she was suddenly awakened by a loud gunshot.

In an instant, her fingers retrieved one of the weapons she had just acquired from the hub space: a laser gun.

Jiang Mian quickly went to the window and looked down into the courtyard.

She initially thought the thief must have had a conflict with Qixu, which was why he fired the gun.

That was indeed the case, but it was different from the image of a weak rabbit being bullied that she had imagined.

She looked at the scene below with some surprise.

Qi Xu is a rabbit-beastman who fights very efficiently and decisively!

He swiftly kicked away the hand that the thug had used to fire the gun, grabbed the thug's arm and wrapped it around him to control him, then caught the falling gun with his other hand.

When another villain pulled out a laser gun to shoot, Qixu also fired.

Two gunshots rang out, one after the other.

One came from Qixu, and the other did not come from villains, but from Jiang Mian above.

Jiang Mian glanced at the thug whose wrist had been hit and whose gun had fallen to the ground, thinking to himself that his marksmanship was still quite good and his accuracy was decent.

After the gun fell from the villain's hand, he quickly crouched down to pick it up with his other hand, but Qixu finished him off with a shot.

Both thieves were subdued by Qixu and tied together with rope.

Jiang Mian also came down from upstairs to the backyard.

She also discovered that several instruments she had just set up had disappeared.

Qi Xu knocked the two men unconscious with a single blow, then looted all their valuables and handed them to Jiang Mian.

“Master, your things should all be in his hub space.” Qi Xu handed the two rings to Jiang Mian, her gaze still obediently fixed on Jiang Mian’s chin. “Their things are in here too.”

Jiang Mian naturally accepted the gifts, and then had Qi Xu throw the two people out.

When Qi Xu returned, Jiang Mian looked at him and asked, "Qi Xu, you can fight?"

"I had a previous master who arranged for me to go to the arena, where I learned some things." Qi Xu's pink head drooped slightly, and her voice remained soft.

His past seemed to be recounted in an extremely calm tone, and even his pain was casually glossed over.

His experiences could not possibly be limited to these.

Jiang Mian didn't press further, but smiled slightly and said, "I didn't expect you could fight. You're really good. I can take you with me when I go out from now on."

She won't need to trouble the other orcs anymore. Once she's severed ties with them, she won't have to worry too much about danger.

Moreover, Qixu was her person, so she didn't feel any pressure giving orders. No wonder it was an exile planet; burglaries were commonplace in the city.

Moreover, the city's guards don't care about these things. Oh well, cities on exile planets are generally not regular cities, so don't expect them to have any order.

"Yes, Qixu will protect Master." Qixu spoke softly, calmly as if making a vow, "Master is Qixu's life."

Jiang Mian paused for a moment. There didn't seem to be anything wrong with that statement. If she died, they would have to be buried with her.

"Okay, I got it," Jiang Mian said casually, and went back to her room.

Jiang Mian thought about how she would be working for half a month as an assistant to a pharmacist.

However, it seems she hasn't yet connected to the pharmacist's personal terminal.

She added people as she walked back.

On the other side, Qi Xu, who usually only dared to look at Jiang Mian at a 45-degree angle, finally dared to look at him at a 180-degree angle.

He watched Jiang Mian's figure disappear into the distance.

Her pink eyes lowered slightly; she was unlike any of her other owners.

What's different?

But it's just different.

Jiang Mian hadn't received a reply from the pharmacist's personal terminal yet, but Lin Xuan had already sent her a message.

Lin Xuan: Has the car been returned?
Jiang Mian: Already returned.

Lin Xuan: Shouldn't you repay the favor you owe me?

Jiang Mian:......

Jiang Mian: What do you want me to do? I'll do what I can, and forget about what I can't.

Lin Xuan: You can definitely do it. Today is my birthday, and the birthday party is at Night Charm. You can come to Night Charm now to celebrate with me, and it would be best if you could sing me a birthday song.

This doesn't seem like a difficult thing to do. Although no one is home, there shouldn't be any thieves breaking in for a while, so she should be fine going out.

Jiang Mian: ...Okay, here's the address.

Lin Xuan: [Address]
……

Jiang Mian found it quite strange. It was her birthday today, and it was already afternoon, yet the other party was only now telling her, as if they had contacted her at the last minute.

Jiang Mian had a feeling this wasn't a good thing.

"Qixu, come out with me for a bit," Jiang Mian called out to Qixu.

Inside the Night Charm, in one of the private rooms.

"We'll see if the person Sister Xuan found will actually go on stage and sing her a birthday song."

"If you don't sing, Sister Xuan will lose the dare and have to drink the penalty shot!"

"Yes! Severe punishment!"

Lin Xuan's face was flushed from drinking, and she waved her hand, "We haven't lost yet, the results aren't out, why are you making me drink a penalty drink! Stop egging me on!"

"Hahaha……"

"Sister Xuan, let your beast slave come over and have some fun."

"Yeah, let's do something exciting."

……

Lin Xuan, who was playing with the orcs herself, naturally wouldn't invite Jiang Mian to the gathering, otherwise, due to differences in opinion, the fun would definitely not be as enjoyable.

The reason Jiang Mian was called over was simply because he lost a game, and someone else randomly selected one of Lin Xuan's personal computers to do some tasks.

That person just happened to pick Jiang Mian.

Lin Xuan didn't want to spoil the mood, which led to the scene just now where Jiang Mian received a message from Lin Xuan.
