Otherworldly Singer: Pure-hearted Wolves and Fiery Love

Danger!

As Zhou Qiqi's mind raced, she rushed towards Uncle Wu.

Uncle Wu and the female bodyguard did not disappoint her. One of them grabbed Zhou Qiqi's arm and pulled her to a safe place behind her, while the other launched a full-scale attack on the strange beast.

A roar sounded.

The beast was killed instantly by the Zhou family's guards.

The belated exclamations slowly rose.

"Oh my god! There's a strange beast!"

"A strange beast has actually broken into the academy?"

"Is anyone hurt?!"

"Was there a gunshot just now? Has someone been hurt?"

The teacher rushed forward to check on Jiang Man'er, who had been shot. Upon seeing her condition, the teacher's expression changed drastically: "She was shot in the abdomen and is bleeding too much! Call an ambulance immediately!"

Jiang Man'er's pupils widened slightly: "Teacher...I...am I going to die?"

The teacher quickly stuffed the beast bead into Jiang Man'er's hand: "Don't waste your energy talking, quickly absorb the energy."

Ning Xueting was terrified when she saw the blood on the ground. Her eyes rolled back and she fainted on the spot.

Qin Ye glanced at Ning Xueting, then quickly walked over to Jiang Man'er to check on her.

"Who fired the shot?"

Zhi Xiuwen asked, quite puzzled, "How could anyone in the academy be carrying a gun..."

Just then, three people in law enforcement uniforms ran in from outside.

When Zhou Qiqi saw Zhou Qiyuan, she asked in surprise, "Brother! How come you..." Her gaze fell on the gun that Zhou Qiyuan was holding up, and she immediately fell silent.

Zhou Qiyuan and his colleagues came in to check on the strange beast and the injured people.

"What's going on?!" the college teacher sternly condemned. "Armed violence is not allowed on campus! You have harmed our students!"

A male colleague next to Zhou Qiyuan said helplessly, "I'm so sorry, we were chasing a monster and accidentally shot and injured this student. I'm sorry for startling everyone."

Zhou Qiyuan walked over to Zhou Qiqi and asked with concern, "Little sister, are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Zhou Qiqi shook her head. "Why did a strange beast appear today?"

Another female colleague of Zhou Qiyuan explained, "Many strange beasts appeared on Xuefu Street, and we chased them all the way here. It's probably because that flying beast that broke into the city a while ago brought many other strange beasts with it."

When law enforcement intervened, the incident of Jiang Man'er being accidentally injured seemed like an accident and was ultimately dropped.

After the morning's chaos, Ning Xueting fell into a coma, and Jiang Man'er went to the hospital for treatment, which caused Zhou Qiqi's insistence on having someone investigate the two of them to be postponed.

With such a sudden and significant event, coupled with the rampaging of strange beasts outside, classes for the day were cancelled for the students' safety.

Back at the Zhou family home.

Zhou Qiqi thought that was it for today.

To her surprise, Xiao Xinghe suddenly appeared that afternoon.

***

"Xiao Xinghe! What brings you here!"

Zhou Qiqi was both surprised and delighted.

Xiao Xinghe was standing in the hall talking with Zhou Qiyuan.

He stood ramrod straight, like a pine tree. One glance was enough to draw you in with his imposing presence; his broad, powerful shoulders seemed capable of shielding you from any storm.

Beneath the leather jacket covering his body, his slender waist was visible, but the lines outlined by his T-shirt revealed that he had very muscular muscles.

Zhou Qiqi met him at night before, so she couldn't see him very clearly.

Now, under the bright lights of day, Xiao Xinghe's stunningly handsome face is revealed.

He is clearly a typical handsome man with striking features, with handsome eyebrows and eyes, deep and three-dimensional bone structure, and a refined yet sharp appearance.

When Xiao Xinghe saw Zhou Qiqi, a ray of sunlight fell into his eyes from the side. He smiled with extreme gentleness, yet because of his appearance, he seemed somewhat dashing and unrestrained.

Xiao Xinghe glanced at Zhou Qiyuan out of the corner of his eye, his smile fading slightly: "I ran into him on the way. I was a little thirsty, so I came in for a drink. I'll leave after I finish..."

The truth is that the whole city is hunting down strange beasts today. Zhou Qiyuan just ran into Xiao Xinghe while chasing a strange beast, and the two of them worked together to kill a troublesome beast.

Zhou Qiyuan saw Zhou Qiqi's joyful expression and her eyes that were practically sparkling with stars.

It seems my younger sister likes Xiao Xinghe?

Zhou Qiyuan thought about it and realized it made sense. Generally, if a little girl is in danger and a handsome guy saves her life, she'll definitely develop a good impression of him. He guessed his usually a bit arrogant sister would be no exception.

Thinking of the Divine Dragon Mercenary Group behind Xiao Xinghe, and Xiao Xinghe's own abilities.

After a moment's thought, Zhou Qiyuan took the initiative to say, "Brother Xiao, please don't say that. We are all very happy that you could come to our place. Look at Qiqi, she welcomes you very much."

Zhou Qiqi nodded repeatedly, looking at the handsome man with a smile: "Shall we have a casual dinner together tonight?"

Zhou Qiqi didn't think Xiao Xinghe liked her. The reason he had such a high index in the system's data was probably because he thought he liked her at the moment.

Didn't you see the system notification that was designed to detract from the attention of vassals, preventing them from having the option to 'gain'?

Even regarding the benefits she provides, one can possess domineering abilities.

But this proves that vassals are not necessarily completely loyal.

Zhou Qiqi wasn't trying to be love-struck; Xiao Xinghe's good looks and physique were enough for her to extend an olive branch, after all, she was a woman who only cared about beauty and momentary pleasure.

Just like before she transmigrated to this world, she was a crazy woman who dominated both the workplace and the dating scene.

The marriage incentive system in this world is quite favorable to Zhou Qiqi. It seems that she can use her intention to marry multiple people to deceive multiple men into playing with her.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiqi's smile deepened.

Zhou Qiyuan thought to himself that his younger sister really did have feelings for Xiao Xinghe.

He asked the stunned Xiao Xinghe, "Brother Xiao, if you're alright, let's have a meal together. And while we're at it..." Zhou Qiyuan had a ulterior motive, "Could you help my sister supervise her daily training? She's been adding regular combat training lately. You're a practical expert in this area, so if you have time, why don't you teach her?"

Xiao Xinghe's heart stirred: "This..." He slowly curled the corners of his mouth, "I do have time today, heh, then I shall respectfully accept your offer."

Zhou Qiyuan picked up the gun on the table, downed his drink in one gulp, and said to them and the villa's servants, "I have to continue patrolling. Qiqi, you take good care of the guests."

Uncle Wu, who had been standing in the background the whole time, stepped forward and said, "Young Master, don't worry, Old Wu will take good care of Mr. Xiao."

Zhou Qiyuan nodded.

He exchanged a glance with Uncle Wu, then quickly left the villa.

"Aren't you going to work today?" Zhou Qiqi asked curiously. "Are mercenary groups usually very free?"

Xiao Xinghe pulled out a chair for her and said, "Sit down. You asked about my usual work? Our mercenary group uses a points system. As long as we hunt enough exotic beasts and complete the mission, we can earn work points. The rest of the time, whether we rest or hunt on our own, we are very free."

Zhou Qiqi enjoyed the handsome man's service and obediently sat down. Looking at Xiao Xinghe sitting opposite her, she chatted with him with great interest.

Wow, you guys have so much freedom in your work!

"It is indeed very free, but this job requires sufficient strength to be competent. Going out to hunt exotic beasts, whether alone or in a group, carries a certain degree of danger."

The two chatted warmly.

Seeing that Xiao Xinghe and Zhou Qiqi were chatting so happily, Uncle Wu secretly reported to the head of the family.

While sending the message, he was thinking to himself, "Xiao Xinghe is indeed a promising talent in the mercenary group. If it weren't for his outstanding appearance and the difficulties he faced from his battalion commander when he was in the army, he should have a position in the military now, instead of retiring and ending up in a mercenary group."

Good soldiers are sought after by all schools and sects.

However, due to a dispute with others in the camp when he was young, and the fact that his family was targeted by certain people and almost lost their lives, Xiao Xinghe refused to accept any offers of help from certain families.

"Such a talented young man, if he could be with the Fifth Miss and marry into her family, that would be really good, very suitable!"

By marrying into another prominent family, one cannot control the man's family.

Xiao Xinghe's family was quite ordinary, making him easily manipulated by the Zhou family. A man with such talent and ability would be a perfect match for Zhou Qiqi!

"Even if Xiao Xinghe is after Miss's red-tier song sheet, as long as we win over his family to the Zhou family, he won't be able to cause any trouble..."

As Uncle Wu watched the two chatting happily, he thought about it and felt it was wonderful.

Just as I was about to go over and remind the two of them to go to the basement for training, a deafening roar suddenly came from outside!
