Ma Que found it strange; from the beginning, he felt that Emilia had an antique air about her.
To be honest, he doesn't look like a space orc at all.
Their speech and behavior were also very refined, unlike those giant beasts, which were rude and had bad tempers.
Although the law has been widely known for a long time, people sometimes don't take it seriously, and sometimes they would rather be locked up in jail than not get into a fight.
Take Pingtou-ge, for example. He was the star fighter in their neighborhood. Last year, someone taunted him with their eyes when he went out, so Pingtou-ge fought a leopard that was stronger than him for three days and three nights until the law enforcement team arrived and arrested him, forcing him to stop.
It's said that the Pingtou-ge even had a broken hand, yet it's still so good at fighting...
Now, suddenly encountering a perfectly normal hamster beastman, I feel a little out of place.
night
When Quinn returned from outside, he seemed to be covered in injuries. When Luo Beishi saw him at the door, his pupils contracted sharply and his heart skipped a beat.
He ran over in his slippers, trying to hug Quinn, but Quinn reached out and pressed his head down as he lunged forward.
"Sweetie, hug me later, I'm covered in other orcs' blood."
The spacious, minimalist living room is decorated in dark gray tones, with a sofa and coffee table in the center.
A robot was working on the ground. Upon seeing Quinn, the robot spoke, "Master, you're finally off work. Your little master is waiting for you."
Quinn smirked upon hearing this. "Why aren't you saying anything?"
Luo Beishi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought you were injured."
Ma Que: "..." No one can be the boss.
"Boss, you're back. I'm going home now."
Quinn: "Yeah, thanks for your hard work."
Ma Que: "..." Stop pretending, okay? You're not like that, boss!
After Ma Que left, Luo Beishi took his hand and headed towards the restaurant.
"Old..." Quinn slammed on the brakes, realizing he'd almost blurted out "wife," and his face flushed. " Lia, what are you trying to do?"
"What can I do? Of course, I'll eat. I cooked dinner tonight. Don't take the nutritional supplements anymore; you should eat more natural foods."
Quinn listened to Lia's words, looked down at his clothes, and gently pulled his hand away from Lia's. "Allow me to take off my clothes first."
Lia: "Hmm."
Quinn was dressed in a black, temperature-controlled suit, though it wasn't very useful; there was no need to waste time on personal matters now.
But now that he has Lia, things are different. He has to pay attention to his image at all times and make sure he looks his best on every outing, so that if reporters take pictures and make them into news, Lia might see them too.
As Lia watched Quinn remove his clothes made of a special material, the fishy smell lessened considerably. He was now only wearing a white turtleneck, and against his black hair, the man's appearance was more than just handsome.
"Is it pretty, Lia?"
"Yes, I told you, Quinn is the most handsome orc I've ever seen, bar none."
These words made Quinn's heart pound. " Lia, you only say what I want to hear."
"Alright, dinner's ready. Tonight's meal will be simple. I learned some traditional cooking techniques and made a few dishes; give them a try."
Quinn sat down across from him, watching as Lia introduced the food, "This is steak in front of you, I've already cut it for you... and borscht, squid balls... ah, I don't know if it'll be good, you can try it first."
Quinn, without a word, picked up the fork on the table, put a piece of beef in his mouth, and after carefully tasting it, his taste buds were refreshed. It was chewy, had an endless aftertaste, and left a lingering fragrance in his mouth.
" Lia, you're amazing. This is the most delicious food I've ever eaten. But aren't you worried I'll take advantage of you by showing it off in front of me?"
Lia shook her head. "Even if you're using me, I'm willing. The Quinn I know would never betray me, wouldn't you agree?"
Quinn couldn't wait any longer; he smiled and nodded, then took another bite.
Luo Beishi felt much more at ease seeing that Quinn was enjoying the food. He had thought that his first attempt would fail, but he hadn't expected it to suit Quinn's taste so well.
Tonight's dishes were all relatively simple. The "Buddha Jumps Over the Wall" recipe described in ancient books is far too complicated. Also, because he was too lazy, he symbolically made a simple dish that sounded decent enough to satisfy a beginner's dinner. He never expected to be so talented, as if he had experience.
After dinner
Quinn used her Spiritual Power to instantly clean the kitchen and dining table spotless.
Luo Beishi had never seen anything like it, was utterly astonished. "My God, Quinn, you're amazing!! How come I didn't think of that!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Quinn's Spiritual Power, like a gust of wind, pulled him into Quinn's arms.
Lia: " Quinn, your Spiritual Power hasn't fully recovered yet, you need to restrain yourself."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Quinn picked him up and carried him up the stairs to the top floor. "I didn't have time to spend with you during the day, so let's enjoy the evening breeze together now."
"Um, Quinn, I need to talk to you about something."
"Um?"
Upon reaching the bench on the rooftop, the man placed his body on his lap and embraced him from behind. He used his Spiritual Power to remove the faint fishy smell, leaving only the natural fragrance of his body.
Lia felt the cool breeze around her. "I want to try growing edible vegetables in this soil."
"Oh? Recently, some people at the Academy of Sciences have also been trying to do this. I believe you can do it faster than them."
"Your Academy of Sciences is very powerful, encompassing multiple fields; no wonder you have so many enemies."
Quinn seemed to easily understand everything Lia said to him. "You're right. It's precisely because of the Academy of Sciences's continuous innovation that many noble traditions have been eliminated. Their cake and stick have been touched, so of course they're anxious."
Unfortunately, the changing times necessitate a change of blood. Even orcs cannot rely on the technology left by their predecessors and remain stagnant; they must look forward.
Previously, Luo Beishi only knew that Quinn was powerful, but under the starry sky tonight, he gained a deeper understanding of Quinn. Quinn's magnanimity was a height that he could never reach.
He only cared about his own family, while Quinn was able to continuously shape the future of the empire at the Academy of Sciences.
"Swoosh"
A gust of wind blew by, and a Xiao Bai white hamster landed on the man's lap. Quinn caught it in time, preventing the little cutie from sliding down.
"Why did it turn back again?"
"Ah, I was just thinking, this posture of ours seems familiar." Luo Beishi didn't speak, but conveyed the information through his Spiritual Power.
He took out a milky-smelling chestnut from his storage compartment; it was newly bought.
Quinn was both amused and exasperated. " Lia, you're so cute, aren't you afraid I'll eat you up in one bite?"
"Really? I bet Quinn won't."
"You're just taking this for granted. By the way, have you bought the seeds yet? I'll buy them for you."
"No need, I already had Ma Que help me buy it today, and I've already paid for it. I have money; I can buy a lot of things."
Quinn sighed, "Can't you let me help you? Are you afraid of bothering me?"
Lia: " Quinn, I don't want to be a stumbling block to your work. Actually, I just secretly want you to finish your work as soon as possible and go home."
Quinn picked him up and gently touched his furry body with the tip of his nose. He was so tiny; if you squeezed him even slightly, Lia would die.
He sniffed it carefully again. " Lia, you smell so good."
Feeling a tap on her back, Lia sighed, "It smells the same as yours, but you can smell mine and not yours?"
Quinn: "Hmm, I can't smell... the fragrant Baibai Lia."
Lia's furry body trembled, and her pink lips, which were biting a chestnut, paused for a moment. " Quinn, I'm wondering if you're a little bit of a pervert?"
