Chapter 184: My Name is Miao Bei

Yun Qimu looked at his shiny little canine tooth and felt a slight flutter in her heart.

“I think you could—”

Before she could finish, Zhong Qiu and Wu Xingyu, standing beside her, both darkened their faces.

Zhong Qiu looked incredulous. This guy, who wasn’t even as good-looking as his own “little black face,” could actually win the goddess’s favor? Why?

Wu Xingyu was even more critical, his face cold as he picked the guy apart. “Dark skin, skinny—obviously doesn’t get enough to eat, how’s he supposed to provide for anyone? Squinty eyes, pointy mouth, monkey cheeks—looks like a schemer. Weak muscles, uncoordinated limbs—are you protecting Village Chief Yun, or is she supposed to protect you?”

The sunny, handsome young man was dumbfounded, as if struck by lightning. He asked in surprise, “Am I really that bad?”

Wu Xingyu shot him a look, telling him to reflect on it himself.

The sunny young man was unconvinced, thinking Wu Xingyu must just be jealous of his manly charm. He looked eagerly at Yun Qimu. “Miss Yun, what do you think I could do? Please, go on.”

Wu Xingyu’s beautiful face remained calm, but his dark eyes also turned to Yun Qimu, his gaze intense and pressing.

Yun Qimu:

She felt like this little pretty boy was questioning her taste.

With eyes as big as hers, as if she’d fall for his looks—what wishful thinking!

If she were to be attracted to anyone, it would be someone with Wu Xingyu’s godly face.

She didn’t like those rough, burly types—she preferred delicate perfection, and Wu Xingyu’s face fit her tastes exactly.

His eyes, nose, lips, even the little red mole at the corner of his eye—all hit her weak spots. If she really had to pick a husband from this crowd, she’d definitely choose Wu Xingyu. At the very least, just looking at his face would make her eat an extra bowl of rice every day.

So, she quietly finished her earlier sentence: “I think you could be my attendant. You’re obedient and follow orders well—perfect for a service job.”

The sunny young man:

His feelings were complicated.

All the energy he’d been holding in just dissipated.

After struggling with himself for a moment, he looked at Yun Qimu. “I’m really suited to be an attendant? Does that mean I have to sign a contract or something? Or how about just being your subordinate?”

Yun Qimu thought about it and decided it was feasible.

The sunny young man immediately perked up and blurted out, “Then I’ll be your subordinate! My name is Miao Bei. If I’m working for you, does that mean I get paid? And can I get one of those big apples you’re selling for free?”

Yun Qimu: “...”

She had reason to suspect this guy had ulterior motives and was just after her big apples.

Otherwise, why did he agree so quickly?

Zhong Qiu and the others were also stunned by how fast he’d switched sides!

Miao Bei looked at them with a sincere face. “It’s all for survival. If I can stick with Miss Yun and eat well, why wouldn’t I?”

Yun Qimu gave him a thumbs up. “You’re pretty sharp. I’ll take you as my little brother. From now on, stick with me and work hard. Now, take me to see that spaceship.”

“Sure thing, Miss Yun, this way please.” Miao Bei slipped right into his new “little brother” role, clapping his hands and making a “please” gesture.

Even the eight-foot-tall muscleman and the suave playboy behind them looked at him with new respect.

Their expressions were conflicted. If they couldn’t be Miss Yun’s man, maybe they could at least try for the “little brother” role?

Heck, there were even big apples to eat.

Unfortunately, before they could make up their minds, Yun Qimu was already leading her group away.

“The spaceship is at the south gate of Chaos City. We’ll have to cross the whole city to get there. Normally, it’d take about half an hour on foot, but with all the ‘traffic’ and obstacles right now, it might take longer.”

Miao Bei explained carefully as they walked.

Yun Qimu looked at him approvingly. “No problem, I’ve got a general idea of the route. You lead the way.”

“Okay!” Miao Bei rolled up his sleeves and stood in front of Yun Qimu, taking a deep breath as he prepared to fight his way through the “pig-headed” crowd. No matter what, he had to carve out a path for Miss Yun—maybe she’d rely on him more, and hopefully give him a couple more big apples.

Ever since he’d tasted one, he’d been obsessed with the flavor.

But his pockets were empty, and he couldn’t afford a second one, so being a subordinate wasn’t a bad deal.

But before he could act, a sudden, suffocatingly powerful aura swept over from behind.

Like a tiger descending the mountain, it crashed fiercely toward the brawling crowd.

The “pig-headed” men all froze, their eyes wide with fear as they looked in his direction.

Miao Bei: ...

He stiffly turned his head and saw Yun Qimu’s stunning, radiant face, her lips curved in a slight smile. But the light in her eyes was chilling, enough to make one’s hair stand on end.

Looking closer, he realized the powerful aura was bypassing him and pressing down on the unruly mob ahead.

Especially those directly in their path—their faces were all frozen in shock, and they instinctively parted to open a path in the middle.

Those further back, feeling the pressure ease, could still move, but it felt like the sky was collapsing right on their heads. The sense of imminent doom drove them to retreat to the sides.

Yun Qimu made no effort to hide that she was the one behind this. It was both a warning and a deterrent.

If you want to be her man or take advantage of her, it had to be with her consent.

Otherwise, you were nothing but a clown.

So, at this moment, all the men participating in the “chaotic brawl” in Chaos City understood very clearly: this beautiful, stunning Miss Yun, who owned a spaceship full of supplies, was no delicate noble lady—she was a thorny rose.

Beautiful and enchanting, but she’d prick you.

Not just anyone was qualified to pick or touch her.

The “pig-headed” crowd watched them leave, aggrieved but obedient.

The braver ones followed at a distance, hoping to join in the fun, while the more timid hesitated before blending into the crowd.

In short, no one was willing to give up on the spaceship’s supplies so easily—even just a glimpse would be worth it.

So, a mighty crowd made its way through Chaos City to the south gate, just as Miao Bei had said.

The spaceship was parked about three hundred meters outside the south gate. Its pitch-black, intimidating hull bore the huge, bright red characters for “SUPPLIES” on the prow—strikingly conspicuous.

Yun Qimu narrowed her eyes and strode toward the ship.

She pressed her hand to the sharpest point of the prow and gave it a gentle push.

[Spaceship authentication triggered. Only Yun Qimu of the Yun family has access. Are you Yun Qimu of the Yun family?]

Yun Qimu raised an eyebrow. “Yes.”

[Beep. Starting authentication. Please stand on the red line, Yun Qimu. The spaceship will now perform a full biometric scan.]

[Beep. Scan successful. Identity confirmed: Yun Qimu of the Yun family.]"
