Chapter 37: Her Highness Will be Single Forever
Seeing the Guides’ eyes getting more and more ambiguous, Xie Qiang hurriedly waved her hands to explain. “We aren’t in that kind of relationship yet. I was just very bad to him before, and now I want to make it up to him.”
“Oh my, Your Highness is still too young~” The Guides chuckled one after another. “For Sentinels, the best compensation is to purify them~”
“Of course, not just simple spiritual purification,” the A-class Guide added. “Must have skin contact! The more contact area and frequency, the more fascinated Sentinels will be with you, wanting to dedicate their lives to you.”
She grinned. “If Your Highness doesn’t believe it, you can try with Inspector Hong Que first~”
“Right, right, we can take it slow. Touch Inspector Hong Que’s cheek first, then touch his lips. If he doesn’t resist…”
The Guides smiled ambiguously. “Then it will naturally happen!”
Xie Qiang blinked, falling into a subtle silence.
This ‘naturally happen,’ it couldn’t mean what I think it means, right?
“Better forget it.” Xie Qiang shook her head. “With his temper, I’m afraid I’ll be slapped away as soon as I reach out.”
“True, Inspector Hong Que’s personality is indeed a bit irritable, not as calm and composed as Commander Sen Ji. His Majesty probably considered this too, so he didn’t betroth the young childhood friend to you, right?”
“Since Inspector Hong Que won’t do, what about Guard Mo Yin?” A Guide couldn’t help saying. “Guard Mo looks easier to bully; why not practice with him!”
“Good idea! And the two look exactly the same. Maybe you can experience double the happiness?”
Xie Qiang felt a bit shy listening.
These sisters are too bold in their speech.
Although she understood that in this novel world, using the body for purification was a simpler and cruder way to exchange emotions, she was embarrassed to use either Hong Que or Mo Yin for practice.
The Guides soon chatted about the impending war again. Xie Qiang listened seriously, hearing them say high-level insect tides only appeared once every twenty years, and each time it would take more than three months to repel the Zerg.
Such a long and tormenting battle situation also meant a large number of high-level Sentinels would eventually die from mania due to lack of timely purification.
Quite cruel.
After an unknown amount of time, Hong Que, who went to patrol, pushed the door open and entered. Glancing at Xie Qiang, he quickly looked away and walked to her side.
“You’re back.” Xie Qiang looked up at him once, then continued listening to the Guides.
The little fat red bird on the chandelier flapped its wings and landed on Hong Que’s shoulder. Just as it prepared to complain, it was grabbed by Hong Que’s palm and stuffed into his spiritual sea.
Little Red Fat Bird: ?
It screamed anxiously in the spiritual sea: “These little perverts are teaching the big pervert how to be perverted to you! Stay away from these perverts!”
“I know, I know, it’s not like I can’t hear!” Hong Que replied impatiently in his consciousness. He pulled a chair from the side and sat next to Xie Qiang.
Crossing his arms, his index finger tapped unconsciously on his arm. He stared straight at the door, but his peripheral vision peeked at Xie Qiang beside him.
I sat down already; why isn’t she making a move yet?
Tsk, is her reaction half a beat slow?
Hong Que pressed his elbow on the sofa chair armrest, his whole body leaning slightly toward Xie Qiang.
Then closer, and closer…
“Hong Que, don’t crowd me.” Xie Qiang looked at Hong Que squeezing over, a bit confused. “Do you want to sit on my sofa chair? Should I give it to you?”
Hong Que: …
Hong Que’s face turned red bit by bit.
Is she mocking me?!
Listening to those Guides, thinking getting my Vermilion Bird gun meant I like her, so she started playing hard to get with me?
Or, she plans to practice with Mo Yin?
Hong Que glared furiously at Xie Qiang, his brilliant golden eyes full of gnashing teeth. “Xie Qiang, you should know Mo Yin and I share senses!”
So, if you touch him, I will feel it too!
Xie Qiang blinked, punched her palm with her small fist, realizing suddenly. “Right! I almost forgot!”
Hong Que’s face cleared slightly. “Then you…”
“Then can you feel where Mo Yin is right now, is there any danger?” Xie Qiang looked at the door, her slender brows frowning with some worry. “Although that guy didn’t keep his promise, I am still a bit worried about him.”
Hong Que: …
“Idiot!” Hong Que’s face turned red with anger. “Why don’t you just die in the worm nest!”
The youth stood up abruptly, striding out. His fluffy red curly long hair puffed up slightly, making him look like a walking hedgehog, adding a bit of hilarity.
Xie Qiang was confused. “Why is he angry?”
The chatting Guides explained casually upon hearing this, “Spiritual bodies can transmit what they hear to the Sentinel. Inspector Hong Que must have heard our conversation and thought…”
Thought you wanted to practice with him, so he happily stuck his whole body almost on you, but didn’t see you touch his face, so he turned angry from embarrassment.
Xie Qiang’s small face, which had just recovered its fairness, turned into a ripe apple again. “So he thought I wanted to let things happen naturally with him, felt utterly disgusted, and was angered away by me?!”
The Guides: …
Wow.
Is Her Highness really not discriminating against and bullying Sentinels because she is too dense, mistaking Sentinels’ confessions for disgust, causing her self-esteem to break?
The Guides patted Xie Qiang’s head with pity one after another. “If you think so… then think so.”
“Gradual progress obviously doesn’t suit you. I think force is better.”
“Exactly, you should just force yourself on him…”
Otherwise, they really suspect Her Highness will be single forever!
After Hong Que left, he never came back. Heard he went directly to the battlefield.
The S-class Sentinel protecting the Guide changed to Mo Yin, but Xie Qiang minded that he didn’t keep his promise. Even though he brought back steaming dried fish, she ignored him in a huff.
In the novel, high-level insect tides didn’t occur. Xie Qiang guessed it was because she purified Sen Ji, preventing the Zerg Queen’s death, which led the restless Zerg to act again.
Time passed day by day. More and more Sentinels inevitably fell into a state of mania due to high-intensity combat. The front line began summoning Guides to rush to the battlefield to purify these maniac Sentinels faster.
The one leading people away was Cang Jiu. After not seeing him for a few days, the laziness on his body was completely gone, leaving only a killing aura. But upon seeing Xie Qiang, he immediately reverted to that docile boyish appearance, hugging her shoulder and rubbing lightly. “Your Highness~”
Xie Qiang confirmed he wasn’t injured before asking, “Are Guides scarce on the front line? Do you want to take me?”
“Mm, how can Your Highness go to such a place?” Cang Jiu looked up at her somewhat thin cheeks, instantly unhappy. “Did Mo Yin not watch you eat properly? Why are you thinner?”
Xie Qiang brushed his hand off her shoulder, her small face tense. “Don’t change the subject, answer me.”
Cang Jiu grunted, then said, “Not scarce. We got through it like this before; we don’t lack you.”
Xie Qiang looked at him suspiciously. “But the Guide sisters said there are always many…”
Cang Jiu seemed to suddenly remember something, hurriedly looking down at his optical computer. “Oh my, time’s up. I have to take people and go quickly.”
The youth turned and ran, his silver low ponytail swaying left and right behind his back, like a fleeing fox tail wagging. Xie Qiang couldn’t help holding her forehead, somewhat helpless. “Lied to me again.”
