Free Web NovelChapter 209: Chapter 188: "Loving" Couple
It was a perfectly ordinary day in the Chaotic Star System.
A Starship of unknown origin landed on A8 Planet.
Passersby shot it a quick, curious glance before hurrying on their way, not giving it a second thought.
This was, after all, the most famous lawless no-man’s-land in the entire Cosmic Star universe.
Countless people, fleeing for all sorts of reasons, ended up here every day.
But if you thought escaping here was like entering paradise, you were gravely mistaken. This place was a veritable city of hell.
The strong thrived, while the weak were mercilessly bullied.
Getting here wasn’t the impressive part. Surviving was.
HISS!
The hatch of the unfamiliar Starship slowly opened. A tall, powerful male emerged, pushing a wheelchair that carried a petite, frail little female.
The tall male was currently leaning down, naturally adjusting the small female’s collar. Their heads were close together as they murmured to each other.
’They’re probably whispering sweet nothings. Males obsessed with females are always like that.’
But to bring his own Female Master to Chaos Star...
Tsk...
Someone in the shadows sighed softly. It was, without a doubt, a terrible decision.
Females were so precious and rare; naturally, only the strongest could possess them.
In the Chaotic Star System, this rule was even more pronounced.
Some people had already stopped in their tracks, preparing to follow the little couple who had just arrived on Chaos Star.
Covetous gazes fell upon Yu Lan’s face. Even though Qi Jingshen had given her a special disguise to make her pretty features look plain and ordinary...
...her crystal-clear, amber eyes, and the lashes that trembled slightly with every breath...
...still unwittingly drew everyone’s attention.
Qi Jingshen’s large, well-defined hand picked up a lock of hair that had fallen by Yu Lan’s shoulder and tucked it behind her ear.
The rough pad of his finger inadvertently brushed against her translucent white cheek, instantly leaving a faint red mark.
’How is she so delicate!’
Qi Jingshen’s emerald-green eyes darkened as he suddenly braced his hands on either side of Yu Lan’s wheelchair from behind.
The man’s large frame loomed over her, caging her like a large predator trapping its prey, making it impossible for her to escape.
The next second, his hot breath fanned across the nape of Yu Lan’s neck.
"Princess Yu Lan."
"Do you see them?"
"All these men have stopped for you."
"It seems they’re quite eager to stay and become your Beast Husbands."
"So? Do you see any you like?"
As Qi Jingshen spoke, his dark gaze was fixed on Yu Lan’s face, not missing the slightest flicker of emotion.
"If there’s one that catches your eye, don’t hesitate to say so."
"I’ll be sure to invite them over to take care of you."
"After all, since I brought you here on my own initiative, I must serve you well and satisfy your every need."
’Psycho!’
’Maniac.’
Her pressure points for speech having been sealed, Yu Lan couldn’t say a word.
She could only widen her beautiful eyes and glare fiercely at Qi Jingshen.
If Qi Jingshen had dared to get any closer at that moment, Yu Lan would have undoubtedly bitten him viciously without a second thought.
It was the only way to vent the resentment in her heart.
"Hiss!"
Stared at with such intensity, Qi Jingshen drew in a sharp breath. A slight smile touched his thin lips as he sighed.
"So fierce!"
"Alright, alright, I get it. I know my Female Master loves only me. Don’t worry, I will never abandon you."
He had to commit to the act.
In the script Qi Jingshen had written for their disguise...
...the two of them were now an extremely intimate male-female couple.
A tall, strong male, and a muted female who couldn’t move her legs.
’That bastard!’
The same thought flashed through the minds of both Yu Lan and the guards behind her.
Having thoroughly provoked Yu Lan, Qi Jingshen felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
When he looked up again at the probing, murky gazes directed at him, he felt no stir of emotion.
He gripped the handles of the wheelchair.
The sound of the wheels rolling across the ground slowly began.
It couldn’t mask the man’s arrogant voice, laced with a wicked tone:
"Get rid of them all."
"Yes, sir!"
The guards from the Starship behind him moved out.
Not a single one of those who had been secretly harboring ideas was spared.
This was Chaos Star, a place of utter chaos where people died every day.
Few of the people who came here had clean hands.
The Empire wouldn’t take them, and the Federation didn’t want them.
The Dark Planet was too ruthless in its methods.
And thus, the Chaotic Star System was born.
What Qi Jingshen intended to do was to seize this place for himself.
And become the fourth great power in the universe.
This was just a bit of early house-cleaning, getting rid of some disobedient people.
Yu Lan’s brow furrowed slightly, but she was powerless to change anything.
Qi Jingshen was different from Huo Zhanting and the others.
Right now, she wanted nothing more than to return to the Main Star and find out the truth behind the annihilation of the Qi Family eighteen years ago.
*
And so, like a drop of water merging into the ocean, Qi Jingshen and Yu Lan disappeared into A8 Star of the Chaotic Star System, leaving Huo Zhanting with no way to find them.
As for the people living near Qi Jingshen’s chosen residence, all they knew was that a deeply loving and affectionate couple had moved into the neighborhood.
Every day, the tall, robust male would push his little female outside for some fresh air.
It wasn’t that no one had tried to provoke them. But after witnessing Qi Jingshen’s incredible strength firsthand—watching him kick a troublemaker so hard he got stuck in a crack in the wall—everyone started behaving themselves.
When they met on the street, people would even offer a rare greeting, making it seem not so different from their days on the Main Star.
"Qi Dazhuang, taking your Female Master out for a walk again?"
"Yeah, my Female Master’s health is poor, so she needs lots of fresh air."
Qi Jingshen-Dazhuang replied with the face of an honest man:
"After all, my Female Master only has me as her Beast Husband. I have to take good care of her. A little hard work is nothing."
Such a blatant humblebrag.
The person who had greeted them felt their lips twitch.
Almost on the very day they moved in, all the nearby residents had learned of Qi Dazhuang and Yu Lan’s "love story."
Females were naturally frail, and Qi Dazhuang’s Female Master was the frailest of the frail.
She had been unable to walk since birth and couldn’t even speak.
Few males would be willing to choose such a female and become her Beast Husband.
When they first heard this, everyone pitied Qi Jingshen for a second.
That is, until they heard Qi Jingshen declare with pride:
"My Female Master only has one Beast Husband."
One Beast Husband!
One female, one male.
It was something they wouldn’t even dare to dream of.
Not to mention, even with Qi Jingshen’s best efforts at a disguise, he couldn’t completely hide Yu Lan’s true beauty.
The charm that radiated from her every glance made everyone gasp.
’With a Female Master like that, who cares if she’s a little frail!’
Any male would have gladly taken his place.
Now, the gazes of onlookers held nothing but deep envy and jealousy for Qi Jingshen.
A faint smile played on Qi Jingshen’s lips as he pushed Yu Lan toward their residence, all under the watchful eyes of the passersby.
His retreating figure carried a hint of secret satisfaction that even he himself hadn’t noticed.
