was busy practicing while in the danger zone and had no time to think about the old man. When he left the Mercenary Association and followed Qin Chi home in the evening, Xu Qiao looked at the back seat and suddenly felt deserted: "No matter what you think, I actually hope he can stay here for a while."
Xu Qiao was raised by his grandfather, and it is easy for him to feel close to such a kind old man like Qin Jiuzhou.
Xu Qiao guessed that the Qin family was a wealthy family, but what she felt in Qin Jiuzhou was more the erudition, sophistication and calmness of a centenarian.
At first, Xu Qiao was a little uncomfortable going to Qin's house for dinner, but she was soon attracted by Qin Jiuzhou's conversation. Whether the old man was chatting about daily life or talking about the situation of strange beasts in the Northeast base, Xu Qiao listened with interest, as if he were sitting across from him. An old professor who is proficient in various fields, no matter what questions she asks, the old man can answer them.
Qin Chi: "He also likes you very much. Maybe he will come here again sometime."
He just hopes that the old man can control it a little. Once in six months is normal, but once in a month will make people doubt his ability.
"By the way, he prepared a gift for you."
At the red light in front of him, Qin Chi parked the car and took out a small gift box wrapped with a ribbon from the space.
Xu Qiao missed the old man even more, so he took it and opened it slowly.
Inside is actually an exquisite jewelry box.
Xu Qiao looked at Qin Chi who was driving, continued to open it, and then saw a diamond necklace.
The pendant is a five-petal flower design and consists of five green gemstones. Xu Qiao doesn't know much about gemstones and can't tell the specific texture of emeralds.
Xu Qiao was too embarrassed to touch the gem petals and the gold and diamond lace. He whispered to Qin Chi: "It looks very expensive..."
Qin Chi smiled and said: "The necklace is just a shell. I don't know what's underneath those abandoned cities." How many gems are buried? The real gift is the built-in space crystal core?
"
Qin Chi: "Well, there is one embedded in the back of each petal."
Xu Qiao: "... ..."
Qin Chi concentrated on driving, while Xu Qiao was shocked for a while, trying to sweep in his mental energy one by one.
The space in the five crystal cores is about the same, about 100 cubic meters each, and each contains a box of paper towels, a box of fruit, a set of women's A-class armor, a box of energy guns, and a combat off-road vehicle.
There is also a letter written by the old man to her.
The general idea was to ask Xu Qiao to accept this gift without any burden, because he regarded Xu Qiao as a child he had known for years. The general environment of the new era is like this. The old man's biggest wish for Xu Qiao is that she will be safe throughout her life. And safety is not something you talk about casually. Everyone must be prepared for the worst case if the base is attacked by a beast tide. Then once Xu Qiao falls to this Outside the base, vehicles, weapons, and armor are all necessities, and Xu Qiao has to rely on Xu Qiao to save little by little for other supplies.
Xu Qiao felt sour because of this letter.
Qin Chi said: "He was afraid that you wouldn't accept it, so he asked me to help deliver it."
Xu Qiao tried to liven up the atmosphere: "Are your family members accustomed to sending space crystal cores as gifts everywhere?"
When Qin Chi first moved here He gave Lu Yang a fifty-meter crystal core as a gift. The old man was even more generous, giving him five hundred-meter crystal cores in one go.
Qin Chi smiled and said: "As long as you keep the current pace of experience, you will be able to accumulate dozens of space crystal cores when you are a hundred years old."
Alien beasts are threats, but they are also resources.
Xu Qiao speculated: "Grandpa is not actually C-level, right?"
Qin Chi: "Yes, I lied because I was afraid you would be under pressure."
Xu Qiao: "It must be A-level, that's why I dared to cross the base to come to you. "
There are only a handful of S-level superpowers, and B-level ones aren't stressful.
Qin's father should also be A-level. Qin Chi's brothers and sisters have not reached the highest level in the family, so Qin's father has given Qin Chi extreme training.
Qin Chi did not deny it and advised her: "Take it. He has retired and has too many crystal cores to use."
Xu Qiao: "Okay, when grandpa comes next time, I will also give him a gift. Although It’s definitely not as valuable as this necklace, so it’s meaningful to make him happy.”
The safe community has arrived.
Before getting off the car, Xu Qiao said: "From now on, I will go to your courtyard around nine o'clock every night. You open the window in advance, and I will let Lotus in. Will he come back at ten o'clock?"
With the old man leaving, Qin Chi no longer has to be there. She's staying over there.
Qin Chi: "This is too troublesome for you. Why don't I give you the golden ball at nine o'clock every night, and I will take it back at ten o'clock."
Xu Qiao was about to nod, and the lotus flower stretched out its leaves to condense the water: "No, it says it has the fragrance of flowers." It just fell asleep, and soon woke up again as soon as it went back. ]
After getting Qin Chi's permission, the fire dragon cautiously stretched out a black claw blade and controlled the wind to change the water flow of the lotus: [Yes, you can let me sleep in the golden ball all night, even if the lotus leaves at ten o'clock, There is still the fragrance of flowers in the second bedroom. I won't wake up. You can call me back in the morning. ]
Qin Chi: "You have no credibility with me. I am responsible for Xu Qiao's safety."
The fire dragon claw blade pierced the back of Qin Chi's hand: [I will not attack Xu Qiao! ]
Qin Chi lowered his eyes.
Xu Qiao and Lianhua also saw a stream of bright red blood flowing out from where the claw blade had penetrated.
Lianhua was angry: [You actually hurt your own body, I don’t want to help you anymore. ]
The fire dragon quickly swept away Qin Chi's blood with the wind, and explained aggrievedly: [He always slanders me. If Xu Qiao said that you would attack Qin Chi, would you be angry? ]
Lotus: [She wouldn’t say that. ]
Fire Dragon: [Yeah, Qin Chi is that bad, and he even called me ugly...]
Before he could finish writing a line of words, Qin Chi forcibly took back the black claw blade that was shaking excitedly.
Xu Qiao felt embarrassed about breaking into someone else's quarrel with his mental body.
Lianhua looked at Qin Chi and expressed her own opinion: "You are wrong to say that. Even if it is really ugly, you can't say it to hurt its heart." ]
If Xu Qiao said it was ugly, Lotus might never want to show its face again.
Qin Chi corrected his mistake when he realized it was wrong: "Sorry, I will pay attention to it in the future."
Xu Qiao: "Then try what it wants first? If it... refuses to sleep peacefully, I will notify you in time."
Lotus: [If it dares to attack us or disturb our sleep, I will never help it again. ]
Qin Chi: "...Okay."
After the discussion, Xu Qiao took back his spiritual body, opened the door and got out of the car.
When they were saying goodbye in the stairwell, Qin Chi gave her a lunch box, looked at her and said, "As courtesy, I will still prepare meals for the two of you in the future?"
Xu Qiao was just thinking about whether to be polite, when he heard him add: "Of course. I will send you your share. Xiaoyang said that you like to eat while watching a drama. "
Xu Qiao: "...Thank you then." If
the old man is not here, the atmosphere will be really good if she goes to eat with Qin Chi alone. It was strange.
At nine o'clock in the evening, Qin Chi did not knock on the door, but told Xu Qiao with a message that he was outside the door.
Xu Qiao came to the door wearing slippers.
Qin Chi's shirt was still buttoned to the top, and he handed the golden bird stand in his hand to Xu Qiao, and whispered: "If there is any offense to it, please contact me in time."
Xu Qiao nodded with a smile.
After saying good night, Xu Qiao closed the door and walked into the second bedroom carrying the bird rack. Lotus flowers were already waiting in the large vat, and the curtains were tightly drawn.
Fire Dragon greeted Lotus enthusiastically: [Good evening, thank you for speaking for me in the car. ]
Xu Qiao, who had not yet left, saw him and was a little surprised by the courtesy of the fire dragon.
Huolong couldn't hear the sound of Xu Qiao's leaving footsteps, so he changed the line of water words: [I also want to thank Xu Qiao, don't worry, I won't offend you. 】
Xu Qiao smiled and said: "You're welcome, why don't you go to bed early? I'll go back to the room first."
The fire dragon nodded, and the dragon's horn hit the inner wall of the golden ball, and the golden ball shook slightly.
Xu Qiao left and closed the door from outside.
Inside the door, Lianhua became interested in the golden ball containing the mysterious spiritual body: [Did he buy this golden ball specially for you? ]
Fire Dragon: [The gold I found myself, he just put some effort into it. ]
Lotus: [How normal is your situation? Is it mentally draining to stay in such a small place? ]
Fire Dragon: [My normal state is super big. When I can meet you, will I take you to fly in the sky? You don't have to worry about mental power. If you don't help me sleep, the mental power he uses to force me to sleep will be much more than putting me in a ball all night. ]
Lotus: [Xu Qiao likes flying very much, but Qin Chi doesn't keep his word, and he didn't follow through on his promise to take her to practice. ]
The fire dragon recalled for a moment and remembered that it was the time when Meng Li's mother turned into a beast.
Fire Dragon: [Of course he wants to take Xu Qiao to fly, but he doesn't want to take advantage of Xu Qiao. Just like tonight, he was afraid that Xu Qiao would mind sitting with him for dinner, so he said he would send a box lunch to Xu Qiao. ]
Lianhua: [When did he take advantage of Xu Qiao? 】
Fire Dragon: 【While flying, Xu Qiao not only grabbed his wrist, but also hugged his waist and leaned in his arms. ]
Lotus: [Xu Qiao flew for the first time. Those were instincts. If she wasn't angry, Qin Chi didn't take advantage of her. Last time, a rogue cat deliberately rubbed her calf. It was called taking advantage. ]
Fire Dragon: [I know! I was so angry that I wanted to rush out and burn the cat to death, but Qin Chi wouldn't let me! ]
Lotus: [If someone bullies us, isn't he angry? 】
Fire Dragon: 【He is not happy either, but he has said before that he must learn to control his temper and act in accordance with the law, and cannot kill casually. ]
Lianhua: [Xu Qiao also taught me this, but I can tolerate some things, but I can't help it when I encounter gangsters. 】
Fire Dragon: 【Me too, Qin Chi keeps doing some things even though he doesn't like it, I would have run away long ago. ]
Lotus: [What doesn’t he like? 】
Fire Dragon: 【Telling it out will involve his secrets, and he won’t let me tell them. ]
Lianhua: [Then don't tell me. Xu Qiao knows that he has many secrets, but she never asks. This is called respecting Qin Chi's privacy. 】
Fire Dragon: 【Xu Qiao is so nice, and so are you, I like you both. ]
Lotus: [Wait, Xu Qiao is looking for me. 】
The lotus disappeared and appeared next door in a blink of an eye.
Xu Qiao asked in confusion: "Are you guys chatting?"
If the Lotus Spiritual Body is released normally, it will not consume much mental energy, but in the past half hour or so, Xu Qiao has been able to feel a trace of extra and continuous mental energy consumption. One guess is that the lotus is controlling water and writing.
It doesn’t matter if we chat for a few words, but what can we talk about for half an hour?
Lianhua focused on the key points and relayed them.
Xu Qiao: "...You know, the more you use your tablet before going to bed, the more likely you are to become hyperactive and have insomnia. The same goes for chatting. Promise me, when it comes over in the future, you will concentrate on letting it sleep and chat as little as possible, okay? I'm really curious. You can ask about it when we meet during the day, but you can't reveal any of my thoughts, and you can't use it to inquire about Qin Chi's private life. "
Lianhua nodded obediently.
Xu Qiao hugged his spiritual body and kissed it.
She sent Lotus to the second bedroom again, and reminded the spiritual body in the golden ball that it was time to sleep in the tone of a therapist instructing a patient.
Fire Dragon: [Okay, I'll sleep right away. ]
Qin Chi also urged him several times, but it just didn't listen.
After Xu Qiao left, Huolong asked Lianhua tentatively: "Do you really want to sleep?" 】
Lotus: [en]
Xu Qiao shouldn't be able to notice this small amount of mental energy consumption, right?
