A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 313: Checking the Progress

Now, both sides were poisoned.

Yun Xie held the others back and coldly interrogated the disfigured Fox Ear. "What kind of poison did you use?"

"Heh. A new poison developed by Dr. A."

"After being poisoned, you gradually lose all sensation, but your mind stays active. Your body becomes more and more flawless, like white jade."

"Eventually, you become completely immobile, like a living statue. You can’t eat, can’t drink, can’t see, can’t hear... but your mind remains perfectly conscious."

"Heheheh..." Fox Ear let out a strange laugh.

The corrosion on his body was too extensive, and combined with the poison, he could no longer even revert to his human form.

"However, if you promise to heal me and let me go, I’ll give you the antidote."

Lan Yuyan could already feel the sluggishness setting in, but he refused nonetheless. "Yun Xie, we can’t let him live!"

Of course, Yun Xie didn’t want to leave such a venomous fox lurking in the shadows either.

If he were the one who had been poisoned, he would have acted just as recklessly.

But he couldn’t. He had to consider Jiang Qin’s feelings. ’She might seem aloof most of the time,’ he thought, ’but I know she would never have married Lan Yuyan if she hadn’t truly accepted him.’

’Each of her partners holds a special place in her heart. If they didn’t, why would she have agreed to marry any of them?’

Losing any one of them would be a devastating blow to her.

She had already experienced more than enough partings, both in life and death—so many that she’d become wary of life itself.

She didn’t dare open her heart completely to anyone, afraid of betrayal and terrified they might die young.

If it happened again, especially with someone so close, the damage it would cause her was unimaginable.

That was why Yun Xie wasn’t ready to give up on Lan Yuyan.

’As for Fox Ear... I’ll just have to find another way to deal with him later.’

Having made up his mind, he agreed to Fox Ear’s terms, making Lan Yuyan so frantic he could barely breathe. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Yun Xie fitted Fox Ear with a collar that tracked his location and suppressed his spiritual power, then bound him and brought him back to the Federation.

Worried that the Law Enforcement Team would apprehend him the moment they landed, Yun Xie had to go to great lengths to conceal his presence.

He didn’t dare take him to the Main Star. Instead, he took him to another planet, found a private hospital, and began the treatment.

...

Upon returning to the Federation, Jiang Qin posted on the Star Network that very day to announce she was safe.

Everyone went wild.

[Whoa, she’s back already? Miss Jiang’s partners really have some skills.]

[Females abducted by Star Thieves rarely make it back, let alone someone like her who comes back safe and sound every single time.]

[Good to have her back. I’m not a fan, but without her, the Federation’s entertainment industry would probably stagnate for a decade.]

[Qin Bao is finally back! I’m so happy!]

[You’ve been through so much, sweetie. Don’t work for a while, just rest up at home.]

[Seriously impressive. Being rescued this quickly again shows she has powerful people around her.]

[The fighting on the front lines is intense right now. Her partners are all High-level Beastmen, I wonder if they’ll join the military?]

[What is the poster above trying to imply? If her partners go to the battlefield, who will protect her?]

The previous poster replied self-righteously: [What danger could there be in the Federation? The warriors on the front lines are bearing all the risks for us.]

Her fans saw this and were furious, flooding the comments to attack the user for trying to guilt-trip them.

They didn’t let up until he deleted his comment and disappeared, which finally satisfied them.

Jiang Qin had just been kidnapped again, so they already felt her situation was precarious; if anything, they wished she had more bodyguards.

And now people were actually trying to take her protectors away from her. It was outrageous.

It wasn’t that they weren’t patriotic, but the Federation was hardly short on people. It was nowhere near the point of having to force people onto the battlefield.

However, Jiang Qin was oblivious to all this. She was too busy wondering why her partners hadn’t returned yet.

Shi Lichuan was on his way back, but there was still no word from Cang Hong, which was worrying.

She had been waiting for news from Yun Xie and Lan Yuyan, and a message had only just arrived.

Long Hao noticed that Jiang Qin, who had been looking worried for two days, finally seemed to relax. He couldn’t help but ask:

"Did you hear from them?"

"Yes, they’re together. They said they had to take care of something on the way, so they won’t be back right away."

"Tsk. After the huge scare you went through, they’re not rushing back to see you? They’d rather go handle some stupid errand? That shows they don’t care about you at all..."

At his words, Jiang Qin felt a wave of exasperation. She told him in a solemn tone, "Don’t say things like that again."

"I trust them, and I hope all of you can get along. Please don’t say things that call our family into question like that again."

She was aware of the drawbacks of Interstellar families, so she never demanded that they all trust one another, much less forced them to integrate into this household.

After all, trust between people is the most difficult thing to build.

She understood and empathized with that.

But she couldn’t accept them being the ones to say such divisive things.

Seeing Long Hao’s displeased and hurt expression, she quickly tried to explain. "I know you’re just feeling indignant on my behalf, but they really are good people. They’re very good to me."

"So it must be something extremely urgent. Otherwise, they would have rushed back at the first possible moment."

"Besides, they made absolutely sure I was home safe before they went to take care of it."

"Hmph. Let’s hope they’re worthy of your trust. If it were me, I would have come back as fast as possible."

"Does that make me sound too clingy?"

Jiang Qin was speechless. "Of course not. I like clingy. I’m terrified of being lonely."

’Whether that’s true or not, it’s not hard to humor him a little.’

"Ahem. Well, you don’t have to be afraid anymore. I won’t leave your side."

"Well... that’s not really necessary. When it’s time to work, you should still focus on work."

Speaking of work, Jiang Qin’s thoughts drifted to her two series.

’Anyway, I’ve rested for two days. That’s enough.’

Acting on the thought, Jiang Qin took Long Hao directly to the Tianwen Entertainment film set.

"Miss Jiang, you’re finally back!" Jiang Lin was thrilled to see her.

"Director Jiang, long time no see."

After greeting various members of the crew, Jiang Qin asked, "How far along is the filming for Strange Tales?"

"We’re wrapping up the final segment. The artists have finished the opening theme, ending theme, and insert songs. As soon as post-production is complete, it’ll be ready to air."

"Right now, it’s scheduled to premiere in early May."

Jiang Qin nodded. She looked through the footage stored on the camera, her expression satisfied.

"Director Jiang, your command of the camera work is getting better and better."

"Haha, that’s all thanks to your guidance, Miss Jiang. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to shoot this kind of material."

She had a feeling that once Strange Tales aired, her career would take off. ’I might even win an award,’ she thought.

In Jiang Lin’s mind, the only thing in the entire Interstellar entertainment scene that could top Strange Tales was Jiang Qin’s other project, the still-unfinished My Date with a Vampire.

As for Thompson, Four Seas Entertainment, or those martial arts films from the Empire—in her eyes, they were all just small fry.
