Chapter 62: Occupying Territory, Lesson Learned
Hong Que was about to explode with rage.
However, he couldn’t exactly strip off his military trousers on the spot to prove he had “it.” He could only glare at Xie Qiang with gritted teeth, his neck stiff as he roared back, “Don’t think that saying such things will make me show you!”
Xie Qiang gave a light “tch.” She had watched animal documentaries, after all. “You just don’t have it. Even if you do, it must be tiny.”
Hong Que: ???
Hong Que trembled all over with fury. “You… you…”
How could she bully someone like this?
“Itās okay.” Seeing that he was so grieved that tears were almost brimming in his eyes, Xie Qiangās heart softened slightly. she comforted him, saying, “Even if you don’t have it, I won’t discriminate against you. After all… many sentinels don’t have them either.”
Hearing this, Hong Que literally staggered back against the wall.
He stared at the girl, his lips trembling several times, but he couldn’t squeeze out a single word.
In the past, he only knew she played around a lot, but he had no idea that she and those sentinels had already progressed to that stage!
Ha! She had already seen countless sentinels, yet she claimed she wasn’t a scumbag!
Hong Que didn’t know what was wrong with him, but he just really wanted to hit something. His clenched fist rose and fell, and finally, he slammed it hard against the wall. “Damn it!”
He turned his head, his reddened eyes sweeping over Xie Qiang with sharp resentment. “I hate Guides like you who treat your ‘experience’ as conversation fodder the most. You have no sense of shame at all!”
“From now on, play with whoever you want, I don’t care at all!” The red-haired youth stiffened his spine and turned around, striding away into the distance. His military boots made heavy, hurried thuds against the floor, each step seeming like a tantrum, as if he wanted to trample all the pent-up fire in his stomach to death.
Xie Qiang watched him go blankly. After a while, she turned to Mo Yin with some concern. “Is your brother just too tired from fighting the Zerg lately? His mania level must be spiking for him to have such a violent temper.”
Mo Yin: “No. He wanted to join.”
Xie Qiang: ?
Mo Yin: “He didn’t succeed. His mental state collapsed.”
Xie Qiang: …
She really felt she needed to practice her comprehension skills. Sometimes she truly couldn’t understand what Hong Que and Mo Yin were talking about.
Xie Qiang didn’t want to dwell on the issue further. She reached out and yawned, then asked sleepily, “With Sen Ji here last night, you should have gotten some sleep, right?”
Mo Yin lowered his eyes. “Mm…”
“Then come inside and sit down to guard the door. Iām so sleepy, Iām going to nap for a bit.” Xie Qiang turned and walked back into the room, rubbing her eyes as she whispered, “I have to do another purification tonight…”
Mo Yinās footsteps paused.
Noticing he hadn’t followed, Xie Qiang turned around. “Whatās wrong?”
“Meal.” Not eaten.
Xie Qiang rubbed her stomach. “Iām not very hungry; I want to save it for lunch. Are you hungry? I can accompany you while you eat before I sleep.”
Mo Yin shook his head.
He watched the girl lift the blanket and climb in. Her palm-sized head rested amidst her fluffy, soft white hair, looking like a kitten sleeping in a nest of cloudsāpeaceful and soft.
A moment later, the sound of steady breathing rose.
Mo Yin stood there for a while longer before he began to move. As he passed the table where the Silver Fox and Sky Wolf had fought earlier, his gaze caught a few strands of golden hair dropped on the floor.
Mm…
The black-clad youth retracted his gaze expressionlessly. His military boot stepped onto those golden strands, and when he lifted his foot, the floor was empty.
He walked slowly to the bedside and sniffed the air slightly with his straight nose.
No tiger scent.
He leaned over and ruffled the blankets but found no golden tiger fur. His gaze inevitably fell on Xie Qiang.
Under the pillow and beneath her bodyāthose areas hadn’t been checked.
His long, black-gloved hand reached past the girlās slender neck, cautiously probing under the pillow. After a moment of feeling around and finding no hair, he began to pull it back out.
Unexpectedly, halfway through, the girl suddenly rolled over, pinning his hand right under the pillow.
Ah, the space beneath her body was exposed.
With his arm pinned, Mo Yin was forced to bend his back further. His other hand pressed into the mattress behind her back, creating a slight indentation as he leaned over her body to look.
Suddenly, the high ponytail on the back of his head dropped down with practiced ease, lightly brushing against the sleeping girlās cheek.
“Mmph…” The girl scratched her cheek and rolled back, returning to her previous sleeping position.
Mo Yin: …
His hand… was pinned again.
His entire upper body was suspended over the girl. Looking down, he could see her defenseless sleeping face, beautiful and soft like a little angel.
Truly miraculous.
Even when he couldn’t eat his fill, he didn’t feel irritable.
Tian Lang, lying in the mental sea, rested his chin on his paws, staring at the girl with a face full of affection: [(=Ā“Ļļ½=) Oh~~~ my little kitty~ shall we kiss her?]
Mo Yin ignored the noisy Tian Lang, staring at the girl without blinking until a numbness spread through his arm. Only then did he finally snap back to reality, slowly extracting his arm from behind the girl and the pillow.
“Coward,” Tian Lang said disdainfully.
Mo Yin rubbed his arm as if he hadn’t heard. Once the numbness faded, he reached into his high ponytail and plucked out two strands of dark grey hair.
His long fingers opened, and the two strands were casually dropped onto the bed.
Tian Lang instantly perked up, jumping up from the ground. “Dullard, you sure are a dark horse!”
Mo Yin withdrew his hand and walked away from the bedside at an unhurried pace.
Occupying territory.
Lesson learned.

In the evening, after arranging military affairs, Sen Ji returned to Xie Qiangās room.
As soon as he entered, Bai Jin rushed excitedly toward Xie Qiang, revealing his soft belly without reservation for her to rub.
Then, he looked at Sen Ji triumphantly.
Heh heh, this is the favor-seeking method he had thought about all day!
He bet his master wouldn’t dare to let Xie Qiang rub his abs like he did!
Sen Ji glanced at Bai Jin with practiced calm. Then, a lustrous, sleek, and flexible tiger tail whipped out from beneath his military greatcoat, landing gently on Xie Qiangās lap.
Xie Qiangās attention was instantly diverted. She stroked the thick, powerful golden tiger tail with great affection. “Are we touching the tail today?”
Sen Ji said nothing, but the tiger tail skillfully curled around her wrist, tightening its grip slightly as it guided her small hand toward his tiger ears.
Bai Jin: [(ā¬ļæ£ēæļæ£) Scheming man!!!]
Bai Jin couldn’t beat Sen Ji, so he could only climb up from the floor and wander around the room indignantly.
Mm mm mm, thereās kitty scent here, kitty scent there…
Bai Jin sniffed with a blissful expression, deliberately ignoring the faint, lingering scent of a stinky wolf in the air. When he reached the bedside, he rested his chin on the bed, preparing to take a deep sniff, only to see the drab grey strands of hair on the bed.
Bai Jinās tiger body shook.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, confirming he hadn’t seen wrong. He staggered backward and flopped onto his butt on the floor.
No!
This was impossible!
He refused to believe it!
Bai Jin scrambled back to Sen Ji’s side and shouted anxiously through his mental link, “Master, Master! There are hair strands from that stinky wolf at the door on the kitty’s bed!”
Like a primary husband discovering his wife trysting with a lover, he roared heart-wrenchingly, “That wolf actually climbed the bed while we were gone!”
