A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 295: Little White Mouse

It wasn’t until Jiang Qin was standing right in front of him that Long Hao realized it was real—Jiang Qin had really come.

’And she found me when I’m in such a pathetic state...’

Long Hao said, somewhat dejectedly, "This is fine, too. At least I get to see you one last time before I die.

It’s just... I’m too pathetic right now. I want to hold you, but I can’t even change back to my human form."

The tiny Black Dragon lay on the yellow sand, looking very much like a little black snake.

If it weren’t for his dragon head, who would believe this was a dragon?

Heart aching, Jiang Qin picked him up from the ground and cradled him in her palm.

"It’s okay. I can hold you."

Long Hao’s voice was hoarse. "That monkey... is he your new partner? He’s very strong. Have him protect you and escape. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

News about me has leaked. A lot of people are on their way. Baofeng City... isn’t safe."

The Flying Monkey had already been recalled. Long Hao didn’t see it, but he didn’t think much of it, assuming it had just gone somewhere else.

Jiang Qin didn’t explain. She just tucked Long Hao into the pocket of her coat.

Then she manifested an ordinary Alien Beast for travel, picked up Bai Ruo, and headed straight for Baofeng City.

The guards at the city gate were different from those in Red Leaf City. Here, besides registering your information, you also had to pay an entrance fee.

Jiang Qin didn’t bother asking if Bai Ruo had any money; she just paid for them both.

After entering the city, the first thing she did was look for a place to stay.

Cities like this never had a shortage of empty houses, so she quickly rented a vacant two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment on the second floor of a rundown building.

After opening the door, Jiang Qin gave the room on the left to Bai Ruo.

"You can stay here for a couple of days. Get a feel for what Baofeng City is like."

She was the one who had brought Bai Ruo out, after all, and she didn’t want the girl to escape one perilous situation only to fall into another. So, she planned to stay for a day or two, which would also give Long Hao some time to recover.

Back in her room, Jiang Qin quickly took Long Hao out of her pocket.

He had already fallen unconscious. She quickly shook him awake and asked, "Do you have any potions? Or did you bring a Healing Pod?"

"No... I was seriously injured, and I lost my Space Button. My Light Computer was smashed, too."

’Alright then.’ Jiang Qin could only let him sleep for now while she went out to wander around the city.

She soon found a young Half-beastman boy loitering in the city.

She paid him 10 Star Coins and asked, "Where can I buy potions in the city?"

After taking the Star Coins, the boy’s face lit up. "Are you looking to buy potions, milady? I can take you there."

"Alright, lead the way."

The goat-horned boy led her to a three-story stone building.

"Milady, this is the only shopping tower in the city. Whatever you want to buy, you can find it here."

Jiang Qin handed him 50 Star Coins for his guidance and went inside alone.

"Welcome." A male and a female Half-beastman attendant quickly came forward to greet her.

"Milady, what can I help you find? I can show you around."

"Do you have any healing-type potions? I got a little injured while hunting in the wild."

Baofeng City had no hospitals, so if she wanted to treat Long Hao’s injuries, her only option was to buy potions.

But on Chaotic Star, potions were also exorbitantly expensive.

Sure enough, they had Basic Healing Potions for sale, but the price was as high as thirty thousand Star Coins.

The price was more than ten times higher than normal.

And this was just a basic potion, whose effect was only slightly faster than using gauze and medicine.

It could help a small wound scab over, but for a major injury, it only had a limited hemostatic effect.

Given the severity of Long Hao’s injuries, he would need to drink several bottles at a bare minimum.

Jiang Qin had no choice but to sell some of her things for money again.

"Do you buy used items here?"

"We do, milady."

She took out two formal gowns from her small plantation.

One was gold, the other red, both in an extravagant and opulent style.

"These two are old gowns belonging to my partner. She only wore them once. Take a look and see how many Star Coins you’ll offer for them."

The two attendants grew a little excited. It was rare to see such bright colors on Chaotic Star, and these two gowns looked like they would sell easily. ’When they do, the boss will definitely praise us!’

So, they quickly inspected the gowns, and after confirming there was no damage or dirt, they went to notify the manager to come and appraise them.

Soon, they brought over a young man.

He had no bestial features, so he was likely a Beastman.

Sure enough, compared to the deferential attitude of the Half-beastman attendants, he was clearly more confident.

After a polite nod, he began to inspect the gowns.

"Miss, your gowns are very well-preserved, and there’s indeed nothing wrong with them. But they are second-hand clothes, after all, so we certainly can’t offer a very high price.

If you’re willing, we can take them for fifty thousand Star Coins each. We’re only offering this much because they are Advanced custom-made gowns."

’That’s a bit more expensive than the one I sold in Red Leaf City,’ Jiang Qin thought. ’Of course, these two gowns are also a higher grade than that one.’

Jiang Qin agreed.

"Would you like cash, an anonymous card, or a Light Computer transfer?"

"I’ll take cash."

Interstellar cash came in the form of coins.

Small, round coins made of a special material.

Purple was worth 1,000, gold was 100, silver was 10, and copper was 1.

"I want three bottles of Basic Healing Potion. Give me the remaining ten thousand Star Coins in small-denomination cash."

"Of course, miss."

The manager agreed with a smile. Only after an attendant handed her the potions did he add, "Miss, Baofeng City has a rule that outsiders can only purchase three potions per month. You’ve now used up your quota for this month."

In other words, even if she had the money, they wouldn’t sell to her again if she came back.

Jiang Qin could only nod calmly, tucking away the Star Coins and potions before leaving.

***

When she returned to the rented apartment, the first thing she saw was Bai Ruo cleaning the living room.

She had taken off the robe that had been wrapped around her body.

The petite girl had a pair of perfectly round, white ears on her head, and her skin was even fairer than that of a Caucasian person.

She had round almond eyes and a face with a touch of baby fat.

In that moment, Jiang Qin finally understood why people coveted her.

Even though she was just a female Half-beastman, her looks were simply too outstanding. She was the type to awaken a male’s protective instincts.

"M-Milady, you’re back."

Shy and nervous, a faint pink blush crept onto her skin, making her look even more lovely.

"Mhm," Jiang Qin grunted, handing her the nutrient liquid from her bag.

"When I’m busy, just drink the nutrient liquid. If you run out, ask me for more.

If you go out, remember to disguise yourself and hide your face."

"O-Okay, milady."

"If there’s nothing else, I’m going back to my room. Knock if you need something."

"Mhm." The little white mouse nodded furiously.

...

Back in her room, Jiang Qin immediately fed the Healing Potion to Long Hao. Then, she took out the harmonica she kept in her small plantation and began to play....

This harmonica was a custom-made gift that Lan Yuyan had specially commissioned from a master craftsman for her. She liked it very much, which was why she kept it in the small plantation.

Of course, the main reason was its small size.
