Chapter 61 The Captain Suspects Nothing...
The captain, unsuspecting, assumed the person in charge wanted to confirm again. "Of course, Sister Yun, aren't we going to the Orc Autonomous Starfield in the Ninth Star Sector this time? The higher-ups are really in a hurry, with one mission after another."
After speaking, the captain, seeing the person in charge's still solemn expression, assumed she was worried about the safety of the trip, and spoke again, "Sister Yun, don't worry. Although that place is chaotic, we'll unload the cargo and leave without lingering. Don't worry."
Pei Qing didn't know the specifics, but she understood that the captain had misunderstood. She nodded and patted the captain's shoulder, "Yes, I trust your abilities. By the way, where's the restroom?"
The captain was so flattered that he was practically dizzy, his face flushed. He didn't even think about why Sister Yun had asked where the restroom was, and just pointed casually, "It's over there, sis. Are you feeling unwell?"
"Um, a little," Pei Qing replied haphazardly, and headed towards the bathroom.
She went into the bathroom, locked the door, turned on the tap—all in one smooth motion—and the green indicator outside turned red. Pei Qing could finally catch her breath, loosened her tie, and plopped down on the toilet.
A few minutes later, the sound of flushing water rang out. The team members who had been watching outside the door quietly left, laughing and joking with their companions. "I was wondering why Sister Yun was in such a good mood today. She didn't yell at me at all. She even smiled and nodded at me just now. It's like she's changed her personality. Turns out she's been holding in her diarrhea! Hahaha!"
"I see!" his companion exclaimed in sudden realization. "I was wondering why she seemed like a completely different person today. Turns out she was holding her breath. No wonder!"
Pei Qing was unaware that people outside were talking about her, and even if she did, she wouldn't care. She got up, casually scooped up some water and splashed it on her face, wetting the shirt in front of her chest.
The coolness sobered her up considerably, and she braced her hands on the edge of the pool, contemplating her next move.
The Orc Autonomous Starfield was a good choice; riots broke out there from time to time, caused by all sorts of trivial matters, big and small, such as class interests, shady dealings, or discontent among local reactionary groups. The welfare center's news always reported on it, and she was forced to listen to it every time she ate breakfast.
As it is an autonomous star system, the orcs have immense power in this star system. To prevent war and turmoil, even people coming from the capital star need to go through layers of approval and questioning before they can obtain basic permission.
There, pure-blooded orcs naturally held the highest privileged status, followed by hybrid races with orc blood, then the Zerg, omnics, and so on. It was said that racial discrimination existed even among orcs, mainly concerning combat prowess, but Pei Qing wasn't particularly familiar with it.
"Beep—Beep—Beep—! Do not open! There is a user inside, please do not open!"
The bathroom's smart voice alarm went off, startling Pei Qing. She quickly tidied her appearance and looked up to see someone trying to open the door!
With a "click," the bathroom door opened from the inside.
Woman A's shirt cuffs were slightly damp. She leaned against the doorframe with one leg slightly bent, looking impatient. "What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing. Sister Yun, we were just a little worried about you..." The team member who tried to open the door scratched his head, a little embarrassed. "Um, if you're still not feeling well, how about taking some medicine?"
Pei Qian sighed, wearily tapped her forehead, and said in a low voice, "No need, I just need to rest for a while. How much longer is our journey?"
"There's probably about a day left. Sister Yun, why don't you go to the rest room and lie down for a while?" the team member asked cautiously, afraid that this sister might take her anger out on someone if she was in a bad mood.
"good."
Knowing that saying too much would only lead to more mistakes, Pei Qing simply stopped communicating with the fleet members and spent the whole day lying in the lounge, with meals brought to her room three times a day.
"Lying flat feels so good," Pei Qing thought as she picked through her fruit slices.
Time flies, or rather, happy times are always so fleeting.
The next morning, the transport fleet docked as scheduled at the spaceport of the central star of the Orc Autonomous Starfield.
Pei Qing put on her coat and stepped off the starship. The airport manager quickly greeted her, "Ms. Yun Ting, it's a pleasure to meet you! We were able to make up for the deficit thanks to your timely arrival. Otherwise, we really wouldn't know what to do. Those despicable space pirates..."
The airport manager rambled on and on, but Pei Qing let it all go in one ear and out the other, nodding perfunctorily the whole time.
When the incessant chatter finally stopped, Pei Qian subtly withdrew her arm, which had been forcibly held by the airport manager, and smiled politely, "I'm so sorry, I'm not feeling well and need to go to the restroom. Please excuse me for a moment."
"Oh, okay, please make yourself at home."
Pei Qian quickly made her way to the toilet, thinking about how to escape as she walked. She absolutely couldn't stay on the central star. Lost in thought, she didn't pay attention to her surroundings and accidentally bumped into a strong female lion-orc.
"Oh, sorry!" She stumbled from the impact, and the scarred lioness-orc waved her fist, her tone irritable, "Hey! Watch out! Foolish human girl!"
Pei Qing smiled apologetically and followed the woman into the restroom. 'Accidentally', she saw the electronic starship ticket that the woman had tucked into her pocket. The destination on the ticket was Karl Star, number PL4377.
Perhaps we could try going to this planet? The woman's eyes gradually darkened.
Five minutes later, the sound of flushing water came from the bathroom. The lioness-orc finished washing her hands and calmly walked out.
Five minutes later, Yun Ting walked out of the bathroom in a daze. What was wrong with her? Why was she so dizzy? Looking around, she suddenly realized that she was at the spaceport of the Orc Autonomous Starfield, carrying out a transport mission.
Yes, that's right. Yun Ting rubbed his inexplicably throbbing temples and stepped into the starship.
In the passenger rest area not far away, the lioness-orc turned her head, her scarred face expressionless as she looked at the transport starship taking off, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Attention passengers bound for Karl! Attention passengers bound for Karl! Please proceed to the boarding gate for ticket inspection as soon as possible! The starship has arrived!"
Pei Qing turned on her personal computer, brought up the starship ticketing interface, and after confirming that the flight was correct, she got up and headed to the boarding gate. Everything went smoothly from then on, and she was able to sit on the starship bound for Karl Star as she wished.
The starship's voyage was quite long, and it was lunchtime. The hot flight attendants pushed food carts and distributed meals to each passenger.
These orc flight attendants are all beautiful and have their own unique features. In the orc autonomous star system, their beast-like characteristics can be revealed without any concealment, and no one will feel uncomfortable about it.
The scene before him was pleasing to the eye. Pei Qing leaned back in her chair, her gaze sweeping over every view. The orcs were bold and unrestrained, passionate and unabashed, unabashedly radiating their charm.
One of the handsome black cat-and-beast male Omegas blinked his watery, pale green cat eyes, his fluffy tail subtly wrapping around her calf as he passed by. Along with a sweet fragrance, a pink sticky note fell to the ground beside her drink.
Pei Qing chuckled to herself. She reached for her drink, and the black cat-orc's soft, delicate fingertips scratched her palm, causing a slight itch.
The orc leaned down, the ends of his hair brushing against her face, the flight attendant's uniform subtly splitting open in a large arc, the pink stamens contrasting beautifully against the snow-white background.
A deliberately soft, cloying voice whispered in my ear, "Tonight, we have the whole night together~"
Just as woman A was about to turn her head, a soft body beside her turned around, casually blew her a kiss, and then gracefully left.
Ha, noticing several hostile gazes directed at her from all around, Pei Qing couldn't pretend she didn't see them. She could only chuckle softly. Why did all sorts of troubles always try to provoke her?
All she did was glance at the little black cat a few more times, right? Why is she holding such a grudge? No, it's less about holding a grudge and more about using her to distract herself.
She wasn't oblivious to how popular the pretty little black cat was; as he pushed the food cart past, dozens of hands tried to casually touch him, though he skillfully deflected each one. Pei Qing had been keeping an eye on the food cart (looking at the beauty was secondary; she was mainly hungry), and naturally, she didn't miss the flash of annoyance in his eyes.
The food truck will come again during dinner time. Rather than being forced to accept other people's disgusting advances, it's better to find a strong 'competitor' as a target. After all, when faced with the fact that the grass is already taken, most people will set their sights on the so-called 'owner'.
Pei Qing touched the scar on her face. Was a scar really that effective? Orcs were a race that highly valued strength, and scars were their badges of honor. Therefore, cosmetic medicines that primarily removed scars had no market here.
The more scars a hunter has, the stronger he is; this is an age-old truth.
Li Miaomiao pushed the food cart back to the lounge with light, cat-like steps. After tidying up, she collapsed onto the sofa.
"I'm exhausted! Working non-stop for days on end, how can anyone live like this!" The fox-orc male O, who was also slumped over, complained in a shrill voice.
"You sly fox, you actually get tired? When you're seducing customers and sleeping with them, don't you ever feel tired?" Li Miaomiao retorted to her best friend without any politeness.
"Pshaw, how can that be the same? I sleep with people for pleasure, what's the point of having pleasure at work?"
"...Fine, whatever you say makes sense." Li Miaomiao idly fiddled with her personal terminal. They couldn't bring it to work; they could only play with it for a while when they returned to the break room.
"Don't talk about me, hey, what's gotten into you today?" The fox-orc male Omega leaned closer, his narrow eyes gleaming with gossip. "Don't you never give passengers your contact information? You didn't even fancy that famous diamond bachelor from the wolf clan last time, what's wrong with you today...?"
"That's because I have high standards for people. Do you think everyone is like you, indiscriminate in their desires and only cares about being good in bed?"
Li Miaomiao didn't know what was wrong with her today. When she saw the lion-orc's eyes, she felt a strange flutter in her heart. Coupled with the disgusting gazes from those around her, she impulsively...
"You talk like your cat race is some kind of loyal and unwavering race. I call this living for the moment. What do you know, kid?" The fox-orc moved back, his bright red fingernails fiddling with the new communication methods he had acquired on his personal terminal, and rolled his eyes.
"You talk like you're so old, when you're only two years older than me..."
In fact, Li Miaomiao knew why her best friend always said that he was young. After all, including the hot period that hadn't started yet this month, he had only been mature for less than four months. For some reason, his physical development was much slower than that of his peers.
Could it be that the peak season is approaching this month? Is that why she acted so impulsively? Li Miaomiao thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. She hugged her plush toy and lay on the sofa, scrolling through her computer.
"Ding-dong!"
One of the contacts at the top of the list suddenly lit up their previously grayed-out profile picture, and I sent them a message after a long time.
