CHAPTER 513: CHAPTER 505: QIAN 7, WERE YOU DUMPED?

This question was asked... Qian Qi hesitated for a moment, unsure how to answer.

She and Su Ang had kissed; from now on, shouldn’t they be boyfriend and girlfriend?

Seeing Qian Qi hesitate, a tightness formed in Su Ang’s chest, causing him to panic.

Does she really have a boyfriend from another place?

Then what does that make him?

No, he seemed like he was never anything significant. He was always forcefully staying by her side, even forcibly kissed her—although at that time it was through a helmet, but...

But it was really him overflowing with love, not her.

She just agreed that he could kiss her eyes.

The recent kiss might have been impulsive, without any romantic implication.

Su Ang had seen during a mission instance that there was a pair of very close and harmonious cooperative male and female allies. During a battle, the two almost sacrificed themselves, and after surviving, they embraced and kissed excitedly.

But they both had their own partners.

Later, the pair dissolved their combat duo, drifted apart, and formed new combat teams. When they met again, they were merely acquaintances, nodding lightly without any interaction.

Su Ang didn’t want to end up like that with her.

He shouldn’t have tempted her, leading her to breach ethics and morals. Perhaps she was already starting to regret, even planning to explain to him that she felt nothing for him—

Possibly, to ease her guilt towards her boyfriend, she might not want to see him again...

Qian Qi was just about to cheekily say, "Of course I have a boyfriend, isn’t it you?" to establish their relationship when she saw Su Ang suddenly let go of her hand, turn his face away, and said lightly, "I was just asking casually, and this kiss had no other meaning."

Qian Qi: ???

Was she dumped?

The system had just entered the cave and heard this explosive news.

[Qian Qi, you were dumped?] The system panel widened its big white eyes. A moment later, it emitted a series of silent laughs, [HahahaHAHAhahaha— so tragic! How can you be so pitiful hahaha— I’m going to remember this epic bombshell day forever! Snap snap—]

On the system panel, two pixelated little white figures appeared instantly. One spoke coldly, "I was just asking casually, and the kiss had no other meaning," while the other quietly shed tears, looking very pitiful.

Qian Qi: ...

MMP.

Not crying.

...

...

...

Arriving at the corpse site of the Fire Stream Dragon, the system opened its big mouth like slurping noodles and swallowed the entire Fire Stream Dragon corpse into space.

Qian Qi watched silently, thinking that she guessed right, this dog system is big enough.

She didn’t know what materials it was made of. If she had the chance to return to her world, perhaps she could hand it over to the country to research some new protective shield?

Or a garbage storage place, that’s completely OJBK~ It’s so shameless.

System: Achoo!

Su Ang saw this scene and wasn’t really affected, thinking her Contracted Beast’s primitive form was large, possibly a guardian type Contracted Beast.

His mind was more preoccupied with who her boyfriend from another place was, why that person wasn’t with her, if she knew her situation was dangerous and kept the distant boyfriend away to protect him.

If... he were to investigate, would it offend her?

He wanted desperately to know what kind of person captured her heart.

Su Ang was well aware of his external conditions. His past was filled with crazy screams from people of all genders and ages; as a teenager, some even barged into his temporary residence with nefarious intentions. He knew that his looks, his family background were top-tier, his combat power was top-tier too, and in informal surveys, he was deemed the ideal boyfriend choice throughout Central State.

Xi Ye often teased him about this.

So did he lose due to his inner self?

What kind of inner qualities would Qian Qi like? Someone genuinely compassionate and eager to save the masses?

Su Ang was experiencing jealousy for the first time.

As if a clawing beast rampaged inside his chest, recklessly consuming his rationality. The more he thought, the more it felt like a poison-laden blade brutally stabbed his heart, unveiling flames fiercely burning within, seemingly intent on incinerating his soul entirely.

He wanted to replace the opponent, wanted to disparage the opponent, wanted the opponent to have never existed.

Dying of jealousy.

What should he do in the future?

Could he still stay by her side?

Su Ang looked at her, the girl seemed normal, but he could clearly sense she was avoiding him, avoiding his gaze.

Even if he said the kiss had no meaning, would she still distance herself?

Then why lie.

The silver-haired youth regretfully hung his head, secretly regretting his actions earlier, pondering how to fix it.

The system glanced at Su Ang and then at Qian Qi, always feeling things weren’t as it thought.

Could there possibly be a misunderstanding between the two?

No way, it still wanted to help Qian Qi have kids! Cute chubby little Qian Qi!

The system lifted the corner of its panel, poking Qian Qi’s head, [Qiqi, why don’t you ask again? Maybe he didn’t mean it that way?]

"Then what else could it mean, tell me, I’m listening." Qian Qi crossed her arms and looked at it coolly.

The system racked its brains, deciding to seek help from the soap-opera loving Moyu, [Release Moyu, it might know!]

Following the advice, Qian Qi released Moyu. After hearing the description, Moyu seriously said, "Is it possible he misunderstood that you have a boyfriend, and to avoid putting you in an awkward position, he said it was meaningless?"

Qian Qi scoffed with a cold eye-roll, "Who doesn’t know I have no boyfriend?"

If she had a boyfriend, she’d be carrying him on her waist, introducing him to all her friends! Would she be kissing here with him?

In essence, Su Ang just didn’t want to take responsibility!

Or perhaps he’s insecure, thinking his kissing skills are inferior to hers, unable to bear losing face, hence said those words to hurt her!

Too hurtful.

Too hurtful!

Qian Qi rubbed her aching heart, feeling that only treasures could comfort her.

Hmm? Treasures?

Qian Qi felt like she might have forgotten something more important.

Speaking of which, she turned and asked, [System, does this dragon have a Treasure Cave? Isn’t it legendary that dragons love shiny things?]

[Yes, the Fire Stream Dragon loves collecting treasures.] The system nodded, [However, in this instance, there isn’t a real Treasure Cave, just a temporary one.]

It patted its panel proudly, [It’s all in the stomach, along with the Evolution Materials, all prepared for you!]

Qian Qi: ???

Qian Qi looked surprised, not understanding why the system suddenly turned so kind.

Perhaps, the pre-memory-loss version of herself managed to fool the system good?

Forget it, doesn’t matter! As long as she has the treasures!
