Chapter 3 She Should Be the Younger Sister
Qiao Xiu looked at Qiao Ye gently, although his vision was still blurry.
Qiao Ye stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes. Curious: "What's wrong with your eyes? Are you blind?"
Qiao Xiu: "Just take a nap in the treatment cabin, don't worry."
Qiao Ye asked: "Where are we going now?"
Qiao Xiu: "Please tell me the interstellar coordinates."
Qiao Ye glanced at the coordinates on the screen and reported them.
Qiao Xiu stood up. He was 196 cm tall, and Qiao Ye thought he was very tall.
She didn't feel it just because of the brief contact just now, but now that the two of them were standing very close to each other, Qiao Ye could clearly feel that he had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, a straight body, a well-defined face, a smooth and beautiful jawline, and an absurdly good temperament.
It's a pity that he's blind.
"We can go to Planet 8484 first."
"What are you going there for?"
Qiao Xiu turned his head to look in Qiao Ye's direction, "8484 is a trading planet. I need to find a treatment cabin for treatment. We need to buy some energy for the mecha, and I also need to buy barrier patches for you."
"What are barrier patches for?"
Qiao Xiu sniffed it and thought that the little sister must have just differentiated, so the pheromone smell was not strong.
Qiao Xiu explained gently, "A guide's glands are like a woman's private organs. Sentinels are extremely sensitive to guide pheromones. The barrier patch can cover your glands and prevent your identity as a guide from being exposed."
Qiao Ye's brows twitched, and he uttered a despairing "oh." Then he controlled the mecha to fly in the direction designated by Qiao Xiu.
The voyage across the starry sea was very boring, so Qiao Xiu took out a sleeping bag from the mecha, and Qiao Ye curled up in the sleeping bag and fell asleep.
Qiao Xiu looked at Qiao Ye dimly. He was the chief sentry, the major general of the Third Army of the Ninth Army of the Empire, and the commander of the Greedy Wolf Army.
His Sentinel level is SS, and over the years, few guides have been able to affect his berserk value.
But Qiao Ye was able to easily calm his frenzy value, reducing it from 89% to 69%, a 20% reduction in frenzy value in one go.
This has never happened before.
What level of guide is his little sister?
There was a communication tone coming from the mecha, but he couldn't see it clearly, so he simply chose to answer it.
"Qiao Xiu?! Where are you now? Do you know that the entire Third Legion is looking for you like crazy?" A burst of roar was heard, and Qiao Xiu was glad that he was wearing headphones.
Lu Junliang, who belonged to the First Legion, had a good relationship with the Third Legion. The Lu and Qiao families had been friends for three generations, sharing a lot of information.
So Qiao Xiu didn't find it strange that Lu Junliang knew some information.
"Keep your voice down."
"What do you mean small? There's someone next to you. Who is it?" Lu Junliang looked over through the mecha's camera. The mecha was too small and everything was visible.
Lu Junliang yelled in surprise, "Woman!! Qiao Xiu, you actually hid a woman behind my back!"
Qiao Xiu: “…”
He rubbed his forehead: "Are you sick?"
Lu Junliang retracted his previous teasing and started gossiping about this woman seriously: "Who is she? She looks quite young. To be honest, she looks a little familiar."
Qiao Xiu raised the corners of his lips. Although he couldn't see clearly, he could vaguely feel that his little sister looked like their mother.
"It should be my little sister."
Lu Junliang was stunned for a moment, then moved closer to the monitor and looked at Qiao Ye with wide eyes.
"Your little sister who suddenly disappeared at the age of 3 and has been searched for for 15 years? My brother's fiancée, your little sister??"
Very few people knew about the younger sister of the Qiao family, but the Lu family, who was engaged to the younger sister, knew about it.
Qiao Xiu frowned, "I want to ask you something."
Lu Junliang couldn't help but said, "Go ahead and tell me!"
Qiao Xiu asked, "Have you ever encountered a guide who could easily sort out the spiritual power of an SS-level sentinel?"
Lu Junliang said without hesitation, "I've never seen or heard of such a thing before. General Qiao, if you encounter one, you must tell me. I'll set up an altar and worship her!"
A guide who can easily sort out the mental power of an SS-level sentinel is comparable to a national treasure.
Lu Junliang stared at Qiao Ye and said eagerly, "Qiao Xiu, you still recognize the marriage between my brother and your sister. My brother Lu Chi is also very handsome. Last year, he was promoted to an SS-level sentinel. This year, he will attend the Imperial Military Academy. The principal has already appointed him as the chief of this class. How about it, can he be a good match for your sister?"
Qiao Xiu looked at Lu Junliang with blurry eyes and said, "I'll cancel this marriage when I return to the empire."
Lu Junliang: “???”
Lu Junliang replied with the exact same words: "Are you sick?!"
Lu Junliang spoke quickly: "Wait a minute, my brother and I are in the 84th star system, just wait for me!"
Qiao Xiu hung up the call and then used voice control to fly the mecha.
Not long after, another call came.
Qiao Xiu vaguely realized that it seemed to be a call from the Third Army and answered it.
Qiao Xiu: "Ji Ming, take a few people to Planet 8484."
"Brother Qiao Xiu." A female voice came.
Qiao Xiu paused, thinking for a long time, but he couldn't figure out who the voice was: "Who are you?"
"Brother Qiao Xiu, I'm Shang Aoxiang."
Shang Aoxiang? An Imperial SS-rank guide, a genius guide.
Qiao Xiu suddenly remembered that his father had previously sent a high-level guide to his army. He hadn't heard Ji Ming report on this guide in recent days, so he had overlooked him.
Shang Aoxiang said worriedly, "Brother Qiao Xiu, I heard that your spiritual sea has gone berserk. Are you going to Planet 8484? I'll go over and sort out your spiritual power right away."
Qiao Xiu frowned and said, "You can call me Major General or Commander. Also, you are the guide of the Third Army. When I'm away, you must follow Ji Ming's instructions."
…
"George, wake up, we're here."
Qiao Ye rubbed his eyes dazedly. What he saw before him was no longer the vast starry sky, but a rich planet.
The shopping star is brightly lit and prosperous.
Qiao Ye looked confused.
How long had she slept? How come she landed directly on the ground when she woke up? Was she already on Planet 8484?
The cabin door opened. Qiao Ye jumped out of the mecha first, followed by Qiao Xiu. He moved his fingers, and before Qiao Ye could see clearly, the huge mecha was folded up.
Qiao Ye looked at the empty place where the silver mecha should have been, and her face was full of curiosity.
"Is this the 8484th planet?"
"Yes." Qiao Xiu said, "I'll treat my eyes first. After my eyes are healed, there's something I want to tell you."
Qiao Ye looked around excitedly as if she had entered the Grand View Garden.
Qiao Xiu walked behind her. Although he couldn't see clearly, he didn't bump into her.
Qiao Ye said: "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I feel like there are fewer women than men."
Shopping is a woman's nature. In such a shopping planet, there are actually more men than women.
Qiao Xiu replied softly, "A hundred years ago, the Zerg Queen released a poison into the human race, attempting to prevent them from giving birth to females and ultimately exterminate humanity. Although humans later developed an antidote, there are still fewer females than males in human offspring. Birth rates vary from planet to planet, but according to recent interstellar statistics, the male-to-female ratio is 2:1. It's truly unbalanced."
Qiao Xiu turned his head to Qiao Ye and said, "George, interstellar women are rare, and guides are even rarer. Female guides are like treasures, and each one is recorded. Resources are allocated and they are given special protection."
Qiao Xiu changed the subject and continued, "However, being recorded and protected isn't necessarily a good thing. This is because these guides are also being monitored by the Empire."
