A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 314: Trapped
On their third day on the Federation Main Star, Bai Ruo and Bai Xiaojie became official citizens of a Third-class Planet.
They also received the cheapest model of Light Computer.
Jiang Qin had arranged for them to live in the empty room next to Xie An’an and her sister, and enrolled Xiaojie in a nearby school.
As for Bai Ruo, she was following Xie An’an, learning everything she needed to know.
For the siblings, their new life felt like Heaven.
They finally understood what the people of Red Leaf City meant when they talked about Heaven.
A young woman with leopard ears knocked on their door, smiling. "Ruoruo, Xiaojie, are you two free right now?"
The siblings quickly nodded. "Sister An’an, we’re free!"
"Haha, don’t be so nervous. It’s nothing serious. Miss Jiang asked me to take you out for a walk.
She also gave you a month’s salary in advance so you can buy anything you need. We’ll also swing by the school so Xiaojie doesn’t get lost next week."
Actually, only Bai Ruo was earning a salary. Xiaojie’s funds were a stipend from Jiang Qin personally.
"Thank you, Sister An’an!" Xiaojie quickly said his thanks.
The two of them followed closely behind An’an, like little chicks trailing after a mother hen.
....
First, Xie An’an took the two to a shopping mall.
Looking at the bustling high-rises, the smooth, white floors, the ubiquitous Flying Cars and robots, and the bright lights everywhere, Bai Ruo felt as if she had stepped into another world.
’So this is how different other planets are from the Chaotic Star.’
’The sky outside actually has blue skies, white clouds, and a sun.’
’The ground isn’t yellow sand, you don’t have to conserve power, and everyone has access to the network.’
’Nutrient liquid isn’t smelly and sour, and the water isn’t brown or black.’
Walking down the street, Bai Ruo lowered her head in fear as many people stared at her.
She covered her face with her hands, her whole body trembling.
Xiaojie instantly became like an angry little cub, stepping in front of her and glaring furiously at the males who were staring unblinkingly at Bai Ruo.
Xie An’an quickly scolded them, "What’s wrong with you all? Don’t you know it’s incredibly rude to stare at a female like that?"
This terrified the Bai siblings. They nearly fell to their knees to beg these Beastman lords to forgive their rudeness.
’What if the Beastmen get angry and attack Sister An’an?’ Bai Ruo even considered whether she should offer herself up to please them, just to get them to spare Xie An’an and Xiaojie.
But in the next second, the Beastmen actually started apologizing!
"Our apologies. We ask for the two ladies’ forgiveness for our rudeness."
"I’m sorry, it’s just that this young lady is so beautiful, I was completely captivated. But I absolutely meant no harm."
"We’ve frightened the young lady. May I add you on my Light Computer and transfer you some compensation?"
Xie An’an knew the siblings were rather poor, so she quickly gave her own account information to the male.
"Give it to me, and I’ll transfer it to her."
She didn’t feel the least bit embarrassed. After all, these men had genuinely frightened Bai Ruo.
’Besides, their offer to add her Light Computer for compensation is just a pretext to try and secretly lure an innocent young girl.’
So she decided she would help Bai Ruo get the compensation and then delete them.
’Hmph, I’m not as pure and naive as Xiao Bai Ruo.’
***
Only after the Beastmen had transferred the compensation and left did Bai Ruo’s legs go weak. She almost collapsed, but thankfully, Xiaojie, who was beside her, caught her in time.
"Ruoruo, you’re way too timid."
Bai Ruo’s face was full of admiration. "Sister An’an, you’re amazing! How could you dare to speak to those Beastman lords like that and even demand compensation from them!"
Only Xiaojie looked worried, afraid the Beastmen would retaliate against them.
’As a male, I’m not afraid for myself, but my sister and Sister An’an...’
But Xie An’an just said, "What’s the big deal? We were in the right.
I used to be afraid of offending Beastmen too, but after being with Miss Jiang for a while, I understood. As long as we’re in the right, we have nothing to fear in an orderly city.
Take those Beastmen just now. If we had called the Law Enforcement Team, they wouldn’t just have had to pay compensation; they’d have been locked up for a few days.
It’s just that they didn’t have malicious intent and offered to pay up, so I figured it was better to let it go."
Xie An’an instructed the siblings, "The Law Enforcement Team patrols every district in Central City. Next time you run into something like this, if the other party is being unreasonable, just dial the emergency communication number.
As long as you’re in the right, just find the Law Enforcement Team when there’s trouble. They will help you.
You are a proper citizen. You don’t have to bow your head to anyone, and you shouldn’t feel inferior or just do whatever people tell you to.
In Central City, everyone is equal. Everyone has to obey the law.
If you ever run into a situation you don’t know how to handle, contact me. If I can’t solve it, I’ll contact Miss Jiang."
It was the first time the siblings had ever heard such words, and the first time they had ever felt respected.
For the first time in their lives, someone told them they were people too, and that they had legal rights.
Tears streamed down Bai Ruo’s face, and Xiaojie’s eyes reddened as well.
Xie An’an understood their feelings all too well. She had once been just as subservient in the face of Beastmen.
So she knew exactly what it felt like to finally be able to walk with your head held high.
"Alright, alright, we’re supposed to be having fun today. You have to be happy! Otherwise, if Miss Jiang finds out you were crying, she’ll think I didn’t show you a good time."
The siblings quickly wiped away their tears.
"Sister An’an is wonderful. We couldn’t be more grateful."
"Then cheer up. Stick with Miss Jiang, and things will only get better for you from now on."
"Mhm." A fire had been lit in the siblings’ hearts.
’We have to work hard and repay Miss Jiang!’
....
Back home, Jiang Qin’s heart was still ill at ease.
There was news of Yun Xie and Lan Yuyan, but still no word from Cang Hong.
She had no choice but to find Yuan Ling, who was temporarily staying with her, and ask, "Yuan Ling, can you help me send another message to Cang Hong?"
"I’ll just locate him for you directly."
"You can do that? Thank you, Yuan Ling!" Jiang Qin said, pleasantly surprised.
"Don’t mention it. It’s nothing."
Yuan Ling connected his Light Computer to a machine, performed a few quick operations, and a map with a red dot on it appeared.
"He’s still on the Chaotic Star. His current location is a city.
According to the tracking data, he’s been in that location for ten days."
This was clearly unreasonable. Five days ago, he still hadn’t heard from Jiang Qin, so there was no reason for him to stay in one place for so long.
And three days ago, he should have received the message Yuan Ling sent, yet he still hadn’t made a move.
Yuan Ling speculated, "He’s most likely trapped, or something is holding him up."
