A Former Police Officer Who Died And Get A Second Life!-Chapter 106: Just Being Qiong Xing

As Qiong Xing patted Albe’s head to reassure him, a hand grabbed his arm from behind.

"Joa."

"You... why’d you go and cut it? Well, it suits you too, though."

"Thank you. Does it make me look a bit more manly now?"

"..."

"..."

"..." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Why did everyone suddenly go silent?

Qiong Xing looked dissatisfied, but Joa and the others were being mature by not saying what they were really thinking.

In truth, with his hair cut, Qiong Xing looked more mature compared to when it was long.

It just as Cari had said, he looked beautiful.

Before, there had been a certain youthful cuteness about him, but now, with it short, the lines of his face were clearer and his small face stood out even more.

"Well, you do look more grown up."

As his mate, Joa did not really want others to see how beautiful Qiong Xing had become, but seeing him sulking, he praised him anyway.

Qiong Xing immediately smiled happily when he heard that.

"Cari wants to cut your hair too?"

"Yes, I want to match it with Mama."

"No. I only cut my hair because it was hot, so it’s fine to leave Cari’s hair as it is until Cari wants to cut it."

Just because Qiong Xing cut his hair did not mean Cari had to cut his too.

"Besides, I likes Cari’s hair, so it would be a waste."

"Then Cari won’t cut it."

Cari smiled saying that if Mama liked it then that was enough.

Beside them, however, their mates looked at Qiong Xing with resentful eyes, as if saying that they liked his hair too, but he pretended not to notice.

It was just hair, and yet, it was still hair.

...

Seeing that appearance for the first time, Solinus did not know what to say.

"Matching... the hair that matched mine..."

He felt at a loss as they looked at Lunios who lay face down on the floor lamenting.

Since Qiong Xing’s eye color had been made to match with Lunios, he would be fine unless his eyeballs were gouged out, but hair could be cut as much as one wanted if the person themselves thought it was in the way.

It was certainly a big shock that such beautiful hair had been cut, but seeing Lunios beside him who is grieving even more than he was made him calm down.

"Qiong Xing... um, well, doesn’t really like very long hair... or rather, ah, he didn’t really care much about it..."

Knowing Qiong Xing, the biggest reason was probably that it was troublesome.

"...I knows. I understands too, but... if possible, I wished it had been left to grow instead of being cut."

Avoiding Lunios’s resentful glare, Solinus nodded and said, "That’s true."

"That hairstyle suits him too, though. It’s like his beauty has increased. Even so, it feels manly, doesn’t it?"

Altough Qiong Xing was inferior to his mates in terms of physique and physical strength, inside he was still a man.

He did not care much about his appearance and rather longed for a manly muscular body.

"I feels sorry to Qiong Xing, but it was good that you gave him that body. If you had given him a muscular body carelessly, he would probably keep training until the day he died."

Qiong Xing admiration for muscles was very cute, but if he actually had such a body, everyone would probably lament.

It was unfortunate for Qiong Xing, but no matter how much he trained, it would be useless.

"Instead, you gave him various abilities, but he isn’t using them. Rather, the people around him keep getting stronger."

Even just his three mates were already very strong and on top of that there was Mayo who would become a great serpent and those two demon brothers, together they formed an iron wall.

Qiong Xing probably had not intended it that way, but he was steadily strengthening those people around him.

"On the other hand, he isn’t really using what you gave him either. He seems to have noticed what’s inside the magic bag, but that doesn’t mean he’s actually using it."

Qiong Xing seemed to be using some money, but not that much and the weapons and armor were being given to his mates instead.

He seemed to be using the time-stop function to preserve food, but he still spoke out loud when taking things out.

"He only half understands it, so he can only use it in a half-hearted way."

"Well, since it’s Qiong Xing, whether he understands or not probably it won’t change much."

"That’s true."

The reason he did not understand was because he had no need to use it.

And if he had no need to use it, then it meant it was not something Qiong Xing was seeking and thinking that way somehow made it feel acceptable.

"Even if I says I’m a God, in the end I wasn’t all-powerful. I thought and thought and thought it through before giving those things, yet depending on the person they can be something insignificant."

Lunios realized that he was still immature.

"Of course. If you’re an excellent and all-powerful God, someone like me wouldn’t be needed."

Solinus smiled at Lunios who said that he existed in order to support him.

While everyone sought salvation from the Gods and waited to be given things, Qiong Xing did no such thing.

He increased his companions and made a family with his own strength.

As if saying he did not need such things, he did not live merely accepting what was given, but found and gained things by himself.

"Even so, Qiong Xing would say that he still loves you. So you should just do what you can do for him."

Qiong Xing would surely never deny what was lacking or what could not be done.

Rather, he would say it was fine to cooperate with someone and would say, "You have Solinus, don’t you?"

"Yeah. I’m worried about Qiong Xing, so let’s finish the troublesome work quickly."

Solinus nodded in agreement and the two of them worked hard together.
