Chapter 36: Sentinels aren’t Hard to Chase
Hong Que smashed open the wall, connecting two other offices, finally transferring all the Guides in.
Finding some weapons to throw to other Guides for self-defense, he looked at Xie Qiang, who had zero combat power, frowning and troubled for a moment.
Although with him accompanying her, he shouldn’t let the Zerg get close to Xie Qiang, he was afraid of contingencies.
This guy injured her ankle, so she certainly couldn’t use ordinary weapons. As for guns…
Hong Que touched the golden gun at his waist, glaring at Xie Qiang with a look of wishing iron could become steel. “Told you to attend the heir self-defense class properly. Now look, can’t even use a gun!”
“Gun…” Xie Qiang spoke weakly. “I know a little.”
“Are you bragging?” Hong Que looked distrustful. “If you don’t know, you don’t know. No need to disregard your own safety just to show off to me!”
But I really know…
Xie Qiang was somewhat helpless. Her foster father was a black card member of various high-end clubs, leading her to become a regular customer too. Although not proficient in many skills, she knew a bit of everything more or less.
“If you don’t believe me, I can fire a shot to show you.”
Seeing Xie Qiang’s serious face, Hong Que handed the gun to her, preparing to see how long she could be stubborn. “Then fire a shot for me to see. Aim at…”
He looked around, specifically picking a tricky object. “The pendant under the chandelier in the next office.”
“Mm, I’ll try.” Contrary to Hong Que’s expectation, Xie Qiang didn’t complain about his difficulty, but nodded and agreed.
She raised her hand, fixed the position of the wrist holding the gun, closed one eye slightly, and aimed at the crystal pendant under the chandelier.
Hong Que crossed his arms, muttering softly, “The posture of holding the gun looks decent…”
As soon as his voice fell, a “Bang—” sounded.
The crystal pendant shattered in response. The sparkling powder exploded together with the red bullet energy, like brilliant fireworks blooming in the night sky, extremely beautiful.
Xie Qiang blew at the non-existent smoke from the muzzle with her pink lips, turning to see Hong Que’s face, his jaw almost dropping in shock.
She kindly helped him close it. “Is this level acceptable?”
“No, when did you learn this?” Hong Que widened his eyes, simply finding it unbelievable.
Could it be she didn’t attend the heir classes because she learned it long ago and disdained wasting time?
Xie Qiang touched the tip of her nose. “Anyway, I just know it.”
“Horse riding, do you know that too?” Hong Que couldn’t help asking.
“A little.” Xie Qiang nodded. In her previous life, she was deeply loved by small animals. Even wild horses would be much tamer in front of her, letting her ride them around.
Hong Que highly doubted what level this “a little” was. After all, she just said she knew a little about shooting, but that proficiency was clearly something only a veteran would possess!
“Tsk, mechanics and pharmacology, you couldn’t possibly know these too! These aren’t things you can learn by talent and feel!” Hong Que said in disbelief.
Mechanics and pharmacology, isn’t that biology and chemistry? To enter medical school, she specifically chose science in high school, and was even the top scorer in three subjects in the province.
However, the mechanics system here should be different from the mechanics in her world, right?
So Xie Qiang shook her head. “Don’t know this.”
Hong Que finally breathed a sigh of relief. “I knew it; how could you know everything.”
“Yeah.” Xie Qiang nodded, her tone sweet and soft. “Definitely not as good as you guys.”
Hong Que automatically ignored “guys,” raised his hand to rub the tip of his nose, his tone carrying a bit of feigned smugness. “Alright, alright, I know you worship me. But praising too much is boring; I will become immune!”
She really doesn’t know how to chase people at all, doesn’t understand playing hard to get.
Hong Que circled Xie Qiang once, still somewhat worried. Hesitating, he extended his palm.
A small vermilion fat bird materialized from his large palm. He forced it into Xie Qiang’s arms. “Little Red, you protect her!”
“What—!” The little fat bird instantly let out a sharp scream of despair. “No! Don’t want to protect the pervert!”
“She is not a pervert now!” Hong Que corrected seriously.
“She is a lecher! Lecher!” The little fat bird flapped its wings, flying onto the chandelier, shouting heartbreakingly. “My innocence will be lost!”
“You are a bird; where does your innocence come from?” Hong Que was very speechless, turning to leave directly. “It’s settled then. You stay here to protect her; I’ll go out for a patrol.”
“I am not a bird! Am Vermilion Bird! Vermilion Bird!” The little fat bird cursed angrily. “You are the bird! Stupid bird!”
Hong Que waved his hand, ignoring its calls, and left the office directly.
After Hong Que left, the Guides gathered around.
One of them looked at Xie Qiang teasingly. “Your Highness, Inspector Hong is really good to you. Are you two…”
Xie Qiang recognized her. It was the A-class Guide from the office next door who purified two Sentinels simultaneously.
She tilted her head, not quite understanding. “He is very good to me?”
“Of course!” The A-class Guide was surprised she would ask that. She looked at the golden gun in Xie Qiang’s arms. “He not only gave you his personal Vermilion Bird gun for self-defense but also sent his spiritual body to protect you. Isn’t this enough to show how much he values you?”
Afraid Xie Qiang didn’t understand, she immediately explained, “This Vermilion Bird gun isn’t an ordinary weapon. It is condensed from the spiritual power of the Vermilion Bird bloodline and can cause direct damage to Zerg. Furthermore, as long as you fire, he can immediately sense you are in danger!”
“Everyone in the war zone knows he treasures these two guns very much. Once someone touched one quickly and was beaten by him until they couldn’t get out of bed for half a month!”
Xie Qiang didn’t expect this personal gun to have such a story. She couldn’t help looking down and stroking the golden gun. The bright red patterns on it flowed like flames on the Vermilion Bird’s wings, extremely magnificent.
So… he really treats me well?
Xie Qiang couldn’t help laughing softly. Alright, forgive his lying this morning.
“So~” the A-class Guide gossiped, “what stage have you and Inspector Hong developed to?”
She winked. “Just started holding hands, or already kissed? Or perhaps…”
The A-class Guide’s gaze lowered slightly, the ambiguous meaning self-evident.
Xie Qiang understood and blushed suddenly. “We aren’t in that kind of relationship!”
The girl’s fair, tender cheeks turned into red apples in a second, making the A-class Guide stare straight. She couldn’t help pinching her red cheek, conquered by the soft, smooth feel. “Your Highness! You are too cute!”
Previously only saw her arrogant appearance; didn’t expect Her Highness to be so, so, so cute when shy!
Indeed, love makes women soft!
“What about Commander Sen?” Other Guides also gossiped. “Heard you purified him. Is the relationship between you two also heating up?”
“Um…” Xie Qiang thought seriously. “I don’t know either; he seems to still resist me a lot.”
The Guides looked at each other. The Princess didn’t deny their relationship, so she actually fancies that fiancé more?
“Sentinels, aren’t hard to chase!” The A-class Guide’s voice was hearty, looking full of experience. “You just need to forcefully strip off his clothes, put your hand on his chest, and you’re basically half successful.”
“Then…” She paused, looking at other Guides. They instantly understood, raising their fingertips to brush their soft lips, saying in unison, “Kiss him.”
As long as you kiss him, it’s basically done!
Xie Qiang’s small face was shocked: !!!
This isn’t hard to chase?!
No, wait, she means, the heating up she wants isn’t that kind of heating up!!!
