Otherworldly Singer: Pure-hearted Wolves and Fiery Love

Chapter 28 "Flowers and Swords": Your Personal Knight

"If I bet right, I'll have another handsome thug. If I bet wrong, I'll tell the Zhou family that they gave the Red Steps Song Score to this guy, and then I'll have them tie him up and bring him back to me, so he'll have to pay it back with a thud!"

Zhou Qiqi felt uneasy, but as she sensed the energy within her body slowly recovering, she exhaled a breath of stale air.

Even if the system gives you prompts.

But people are individuals, and even if a man likes a woman, he may not necessarily guarantee that he will be loyal to her.

Therefore, Zhou Qiqi couldn't help but suspect that the other party would take the things and run away, breaking their promise to her.

But she needs a pawn that exists outside the established families, and she will have to take that step sooner or later!

Otherwise, if she were to continue publishing red-tier song scores, and those noble families and nations were to realize just how high her value was, and how astonishing the significance of her existence was!

It will definitely attract many assassins to carry out the assassination.

Tonight at the Mercenary Association, Zhou Qiqi learned that someone had put a bounty on her head.

To prevent Zhou Qiqi from being assassinated, and to protect her sheet music, the Zhou family will definitely restrict her! They might even lock her up and prevent her from leaving!

Will Zhou Qiqi still have any freedom in the future?

"I can't just sit here and wait to die!"

Even though she was reborn in another world, for her, life is precious, but freedom is even more valuable!

We must plan ahead.

You must have different options for your own escape route.

Xiao Xinghe was a handsome man, offering her a pleasant experience both visually and aurally. Plus, he seemed to like her, and his ability to handle so many assassins showed he was a seasoned expert honed through countless life-or-death situations. Hiring him with a red-tier song score was a worthwhile investment.

Investing always involves taking some risks.

If Xiao Xinghe is 'identified' by the system, she can try investing once.

Moreover, now that she has completed the sheet music, her internal energy has increased and recovered.

If Xiao Xinghe shows any abnormality, she can abandon the song sheet and use the activated beast bead to escape with her beast wings!

The place where they are standing now is not far from the guard troops at the city gate!

"I need to increase my strength to survive in this world of alien beasts. So, not releasing the song sheet is not an option... Similarly, the Zhou family is my backer now, and I still need to use the song sheet to help the Zhou family improve their overall strength. But increasing strength and status will attract enemies. If I become too valuable in the future, and the hostile forces become too numerous, the Zhou family will have to conceal my existence. Then I will find my own underlings to escape and hide under assumed names..."

She is not strong enough in terms of strength and other aspects right now, and she still needs to grow. It is impossible for her to leave the Zhou family now.

"I'm not a genius to begin with, and I'm not as good as these experts in combat... so for now I still need to rely on others. At this stage, I can still rely on various constraints to do my dirty work, so I should make my bets sooner and invest in some talent."

Zhou Qiqi thought through the pros and cons and future development of herself clearly, took a deep breath, and began to activate the energy of the mid-level beast bead in her hand.

Get rid of distracting thoughts.

The accompaniment started playing quickly.

"La la la..."

In an instant, the red light shone on Xiao Xinghe's dazed gaze.

"On the battlefield where time and space intersect, I fight against my own vulnerability, first I get hurt, then I heal..."

"Completely indifferent to your gaze, like a cold gust of wind passing by, I, defeated and disoriented, unable to distinguish between hidden arrows and open attacks, have been wounded..."

"Heartbreak is silent, hope always turns to disappointment, what is heaven really like..."

"Flowers fly like snowflakes~ Petals disguise themselves as a kind of resilience..."

"The clear sky after the heavy rain~ A rainbow adorns the melancholy of dreams..."

"Heroes showed mercy with their swords, and we watched as innocence vanished from the world..."

"I lay down my armor, looking forward to setting off again after being reborn..."

The delicate beauty of the flowers and the fierce battlefield scenes flashed through Xiao Xinghe's mind all at once.

In his mind, it was as if he was fighting fiercely on the battlefield one second, and the next second he was in a beautiful flower field, where a woman whose face he couldn't see was reaching out to him.

It seems the woman smiled and said to him: Stand up, you are strong, you are amazing, don't feel alone, be a hero again, I will understand you.

That feeling struck Xiao Xinghe's heart instantly.

It sent a shiver down his spine, a surge of intense pleasure washing over him, causing him to tremble uncontrollably. A hint of panic flickered in his usually calm and playful eyes.

He clenched his fists, his whole body tense, watching the singing girl, so nervous he forgot to breathe. An overwhelming sense of exhilaration eased his recent tension and the melancholy and bewilderment he felt.

He gazed at Zhou Qiqi as if she were the whole world.

Unfamiliar emotions, like wildfire, ignited Xiao Xinghe's reason. An impulse burned within him, rapidly spiraling out of control, exploding in his mind.

She had just finished singing when a notification popped up on the system panel.

[Reminder: According to the test, [Xiao Xinghe]'s advanced attachment and attention level towards you is 72 points.]

Along with the added prompts, there is an additional 10 points of attention.

Xiao Xinghe then provided her with 10 more days of health.

Singing a song moved this man so much that his feelings for her deepened?

Is this guy going to become her die-hard fan?

Zhou Qiqi hesitated for a moment before suppressing her thoughts. She picked up the red sheet music floating in front of her and quickly walked over to Xiao Xinghe, handing it to him.

"Here you go, I've paid the full employment fee!"

"Now you'd better carry out the contract properly, protect me, and fulfill the orders I give you."

Xiao Xinghe looked at the red-stairs song sheet, then chuckled and took it.

He held the thin, strangely textured sheet music in his palm.

That feeling is absolutely correct.

Did I really obtain a red-tier sheet music that is extremely rare and even many top players cannot get their hands on?!

Confirming that everything was real left Xiao Xinghe somewhat dazed.

He lowered his eyes, then opened them again in surprise.

Xiao Xinghe smiled and couldn't help but joke at Zhou Qiqi: "Heh... what if I take the things and run away? Zhou Qiqi, you have too high an opinion of human nature."

Zhou Qiqi looked at the number 72, grinned, and shrugged: "It doesn't matter. If you don't answer, plenty of others will. If you're not happy, I'll just find someone else who knows what's good for you..."

Xiao Xinghe's lips curled into a smile: "I didn't say I wouldn't agree, I'm very sensible!"

He solemnly tucked the red-stairs song sheet into his clothes.

A cool evening breeze was blowing.

feeling good.

Strands of black hair fluttered across his forehead.

He felt quite calm, but he knew that the girl in front of him had just injected something into his heart, making his entire heart feel full.

Was it this lively girl, whom he found unforgettable at first glance, whose trust and generosity changed his mindset?

Or was it because he had long been captivated by the charm she gradually revealed, which ignited a desire within him to be loved by her, and now that he had received a response, he was satisfied?

Amidst his jumbled thoughts, Xiao Xinghe's eyes darkened as he looked earnestly at Zhou Qiqi: "My dearest Zhou Qiqi..."

He thought for a moment, smiled, and knelt on one knee.

Under the cover of night, Xiao Xinghe took Zhou Qiqi's hand, lowered his head, and placed a light yet heavy kiss on the back of the girl's fair hand.

“…Xiao Xinghe will be your personal knight from now on.”
