Chapter 452: Chapter 452

To Qian Qi, the Charcoal skill was rather dispensable, but what kind of skill is "Softening"?

Could it be that it can soften hard objects?

Qian Qi picked up a stone, reached out her little hand to touch it, and released the skill: "Softening!"

However, the stone in front of her remained hard, showing no sign of softening.

She scratched her head in confusion.

Qian Qi touched the back of her head in horror and found her brain had caved in.

She let out a sharp, explosive sound.

Xi Pingzhe, who was on the tree with a telescope keeping watch, was stunned and opened his mouth wide upon seeing this scene.

Master! Master, your head!

[Hahaha~] The system laughed until it cried alongside, [Qian Qi, you’ve flattened out!]

"Stop laughing at me! What on earth is going on?" Qian Qi frantically pinched her own head, but accidentally squashed several more places, instantly breaking into a sweat.

What kind of rubbish skill is this, instead of softening the target, it softens me?

The system was schadenfreude, satisfied as it appreciated her predicament: [How fitting to your character, Little Qiqi, with a mind full of pitfalls?]

You’re the one with a mind full of pitfalls, your whole family’s mind is full of pitfalls!

After pinching for a long time, Qian Qi finally found the pattern, flicked her brain back to its original shape.

This "Softening" skill is similar to the face and body shaping in some modeling games; when her spiritual power concentrates on one spot, she can shape it into any desired form.

And it can last for three days.

However, this softening skill also has cooldown time; after being used once, it requires a one-month cooldown before it can be used again.

After all, randomly reshaping the body isn’t a joke; it needs rest.

Qian Qi felt this skill was even more of a chicken rib than Charcoal.

At least Charcoal can still be used to start a fire and cook a meal, what use does Softening have?

Oh, it actually is useful, she can flatten her own face to scare people.

Qian Qi couldn’t resist trying it.

A few minutes later, the system looked at faceless Qian Qi in silence.

System: [It wasn’t given to you to play .]

Faceless is just about it, she pinched herself into a rectangle, smeared the nearby blue magic plant juice on, and drew a "＾＿＾" face, who is she implying?

Qian Qi cupped her face with her hands, "Does it look good? Are you captivated? Is your little heart racing, feeling like you’ve fallen in love with me?"

The system couldn’t bear it any longer, gave her a knock on the head.

She became even flatter.

[Stop fooling around!] The system rubbed its nonexistent brow, [Su Ang has seen you!]

Qian Qi quickly rounded her head, "What’s going on?"

The system looked meaningfully at the layer of dense spiritual power from someone wrapping around her, [Oh well~ what else could it be~ naturally, someone is concerned about you~ don’t you realize after all this time, making such a big scene, why hasn’t the Family Army or the Magic Beasts come over?]

Isn’t it because someone is blocking them for you ＾＿＾~

"But how could he see—" Qian Qi paused, suddenly remembered that Spiritual Awakeners could detect the surrounding terrain and biological contours.

That means if Su Ang activated Spiritual Detection, he would now see...

A little Qian Qi, her head being a pit one moment, round the next, then again a flat rectangle...

Qian Qi angrily punched the ground, "Why didn’t you tell me earlier!"

The system spread its hands: Of course, to let you be embarrassed.

Moyu cautiously looked at Qian Qi, "Contractor, your head..."

Qian Qi’s fierce gaze swept over, "Hm?"

Moyu quickly raised its wings, made a zipper-pulling gesture over its mouth.

It keeps quiet, it will definitely keep this secret, and it will absolutely not tell the other Contracted Beasts!

Finally returning her face to normal, Qian Qi hurriedly found a Low-level Magic Plant, pulled one off and used the clear juice inside to wash her face clean.

Only then did she cough lightly and walked toward Su Ang’s direction.

Originally thought there was only Su Ang, didn’t expect Sheng Qing, Xu Jinghong, and Xi Pingzhe were also there.

"They wouldn’t have seen too, right?" Qian Qi looked at Sheng Qing holding a sniper scope and Xi Pingzhe holding binoculars, secretly asked the system.

[You were crouched under that blue Magic Plant, they couldn’t see you.]

Qian Qi breathed a sigh of relief, it’s fortunate that the blue Magic Plant grew very tall, so she was crouched inside, Sheng Qing and Xi Pingzhe couldn’t see.

Su Ang looked at Qian Qi’s round little head, asked nothing, kept his hands in pockets, said lightly, "Let’s go."

Qian Qi didn’t know why, just felt a bit guilty, obediently followed behind Su Ang.

Xi Pingzhe and Sheng Qing immediately lifted their feet to follow, but had their collar grabbed by Xu Jinghong.

"What the heck!" Xi Pingzhe turned back, glaring at Xu Jinghong, what was this person pulling him for, any slower he wouldn’t catch up to Master!

Sheng Qing also turned back to look at Xu Jinghong, his cold gaze seemed to say: Let go, I want to catch up to Qian Qi.

Xu Jinghong furrowed his brows, feeling very powerless against the two’s dullness, "Why do you two want to follow, being a third wheel?"

Didn’t they notice the atmosphere between the two was very subtle?

Xi Pingzhe widened his eyes sharply, turned back immediately, shifting his glare to Su Ang.

Sure enough, Su has improper thoughts about Master! Damn it! He doesn’t agree to this match! ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ NovєlFіre.net

Sheng Qing also turned back, tapping his chin in thought, after a while had an epiphany, "Turns out sleeping on the same bed isn’t a way to be friends, it’s a way to be boyfriends?"

Xi Pingzhe’s little face turned into a shocked scream face: Sleeping on the same bed? What else happened that I don’t know?!

Sheng Qing continued thinking, finally understanding, finally realizing, "But as I remember Sikong Wang also... could it be he is also competing to be Qiqi’s boyfriend?"

Xi Pingzhe screamed like a groundhog: Ah—!

He doesn’t agree to either of the matches!

Qian Qi had no idea what astounding misunderstandings the three behind her had passed along through gossip.

She looked at the night, looked at the ground, then sneakily glanced at Su Ang, trying hard to find a topic, "Senior, why are you wearing a white trench coat this time, didn’t you always wear that black trench coat before?"

The silver-haired young man glanced at her with a side-eye, asked back, "Not good looking?"

"Good looking, good looking!" Qian Qi nodded like a pecking chick, "Very good looking."

Su Ang chuckled lightly, "Mm."

After speaking, he didn’t say anything more.

Qian Qi rubbed her little hands, made sure Su Ang had no questions or anomalies, then boldly asked, "Senior, why are you not sleeping this late, what are you doing here?"

"Insomnia, just out for a walk." The silver-haired young man’s words couldn’t be called true or false, he leisurely strolled through the woods, only stopping when the bloody scent of a Magic Beast’s death wafted over from not far away, he turned to look at the girl.

"Having so many Moyu, probably no one’s finding food for them this time?" His lips curved slightly, the pitch-black pupils reflecting the girl’s face in the moonlight glinted with spots of light, slight imperceptible anticipation rolling within.

Qian Qi glanced at the ground not far away, where the Magic Beast’s corpse looked like it had been meticulously diced by a five-star chef: ....

Wow, you’re really amazing.

With her fist against her lips, giving a slight cough, Qian Qi patted the Moyu beside her.

Moyu immediately spoke up, "Thank you, Senior."

Qian Qi smacked Moyu again, hating its inability for its own good.

Moyu looked confused and aggrieved, why hit it, wasn’t that what she wanted to say in her heart, what she conveyed and intended was just that!

Qian Qi gave it another sidelong glare.

The strong intent came through, this time Moyu comprehended, quickly bowing obediently, "Thank you, Commander Su, for finding food for my brethren."

Su Ang turned his head back, lips couldn’t help but lift up again.

His voice low and cheerful: "Mm, you’re welcome."
