Chapter 87 - Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a Bun

Chapter 87: Chapter 85: Interstellar Internet Celebrity Raises a BunSu Qing dispelled the doubts deep in her heart, and her impression of Ye Qiu improved even further. Ye Qiu had a gentle appearance but her personality was far from delicate. Moreover, she was a graduate of Capital University, and Su Qing greatly admired her for being able to pull herself together and raise two young children on Capital Star after her husband’s sacrifice.

Being a very sociable person herself, Su Qing felt no aversion towards the outstanding school senior Ye Qiu, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

On the other side, Jiang Yuan was also very fond of the bashful and cute little brother Rong Chen. Despite still maintaining a cool young man’s demeanor, he was exceptionally patient while teaching him how to fly a kite.

"Big brother, can we play together again next time?" Rong Chen’s smile was very joyful, his entire face beaming with happiness, and he seemed much more lively than when he was at home.

Jiang Yuan kept a straight face but modestly nodded in agreement. His chubby little hand gripped the kite string a little tighter. Su Qing, who knew him well, understood that this was a sign of his happiness.

It’s truly rare—He’s learning to make friends!

On the way home, Su Qing tentatively asked her son: "How about letting little brother Rong Chen study with you?"

Jiang Yuan’s eyes lit up. He thought to himself that since little brother Rong Chen was so pretty and had such a soft personality, he would surely be bullied if he went anywhere else. It would be better for him to protect Rong Chen. Thus, he nodded to his mom in agreement.

"You, eh." Su Qing patted her son’s head and sighed in her heart. Why can’t you express your wishes directly? Why do you have to be like your father, making me guess all the time? It’s exhausting not just for you, but for me too!

On the ride, Su Qing had already investigated the backgrounds of Ye Qiu and Rong Yu. Both were orphans and graduates of Capital University, more outstanding than she had expected, and with no entangling interests behind them, they were also innocent in nature. Considering her son liked them, and seeing them as very suitable playmates, she wouldn’t mind lending them a helping hand if they grew up to be good-natured.

A month later, at the strong recommendation of Su Qing, Rong Chen enrolled in the Capital Star Military Region Kindergarten.

As it happened, Rong Yu was a martyr, and as the child of a martyr, Rong Chen was indeed eligible for admission, but although the military academy’s promotion rate could not compare with Qixing Academy, its educational resources and security were the best. Every year there were countless students who wanted to enter, and naturally, there was a set of assessment systems. Usually, children of low-level military personnel with no background seldom got admitted.

Rong Chen’s admission was due entirely to the status of Su Qing’s connections, aside from his identity as a family member of a martyr.

The military academy nearly brought together the children of the entire military high command, and its security was not inferior to the military headquarters. Although Qin Shu worked in the military, her family was politically aligned, and they absolutely had no say in the military academy.

Taking into account Rong Chen’s safety and having Jiang Yuan inside to protect him, Ye Qiu had no reason to refuse. It was only then that she learned that Su Qing’s husband, Jiang Shan, had already attained the rank of major general and commander, and the Jiang Family behind him was one of the three great families, alongside the Qin Family.

However, even after knowing Su Qing’s identity, Ye Qiu did not rush to ingratiate herself with her, which made Su Qing regard her even more highly. Su Qing knew that Ye Qiu was on good terms with Qin Shu; although she did not interact much with Qin Shu, given the Qin Family’s status, Ye Qiu had no reason not to know. But over the years, she had never seen Ye Qiu curry favor with the Qin Family. Seeing that Ye Qiu treated her with neither servility nor arrogance only increased her fondness.

Moreover, although Ye Qiu was an orphan, she was well-spoken and had her unique insights in many areas. After several conversations, Su Qing had come to admire her greatly and immediately considered her a confidant.

Upon learning that Ye Qiu was now earning money as a streamer on Star Cloud Live because of her need to take care of her children, Su Qing went to support her that very evening.

Searching for the streamer’s name "Yi Ye Zhiqiu," she quickly found a live room titled "Interstellar Strongest Body Technique."

Having tasted the delicacies prepared by Ye Qiu, which were very delicious, Su Qing had assumed she was a food streamer. But this?

Su Qing was taken aback. The Ye Qiu she knew was not one to make empty boasts, so what did this "Interstellar Strongest Body Technique" mean?

With questions in mind, Su Qing clicked into the live stream.

By this time, Ye Qiu was able to perform the Level 1 Body Forging Technique very fluently. Her movements were slow but carried a certain charm, and Su Qing was mesmerized without realizing it. In the blink of an eye, two hours had flown by.

It wasn’t until Ye Qiu was about to end the live stream and stood on the Body Technique testing device that Su Qing came to her senses.

"Analysis results: citizen bone age of twenty-six, Body Technique Level 5."

How is that possible?

Su Qing stared at the test result, astonished, wondering just how talented Ye Qiu was. But if she was so exceptional, why hadn’t the Military Department recruited her?

Her husband, Jiang Shan, was thirty-eight years old this year, with a Body Technique Level 7. Although reaching interstellar martial arts level 3 is a major threshold – with some people remaining at level 3 forever, and some at level 6 – only those who reach level 7 can be considered experts. But one must acknowledge that Ye Qiu is only twenty-six this year.

However, the younger the age, the more opportunities there are to advance. Little do people know that Yun Cheng, hailed as the interstellar number one talent, only stepped into Body Technique Level 5 at the age of twenty-three.

Although Ye Qiu was three years behind Yun Cheng, it is worth noting that she is just an orphan with no resources for cultivation, whereas Yun Cheng has the support of the interstellar first family, the Yun Family, behind him. Moreover, women’s physical constitution is generally weaker than men’s, so a woman like Ye Qiu who has reached Body Technique Level 5 at twenty-six could absolutely be called a genius.

What’s more, she has given birth to two children, which delayed her cultivation for two years. Considering this, Su Qing fully recognizes the "Interstellar Strongest Body Technique" live stream.

She opened the first live stream video of Ye Qiu and a minute later, when she saw the initial test result showing Level 4 Body Technique, she was flabbergasted.

How is that possible? In just one month’s time, did she really level up by just practicing the Body Forging Technique proclaimed to be created by her master?

She also saw the data on the testing device. Although she had reached Level 4 Body Technique, her bones and veins were still far from the peak of Level 4. Normally, even with the support of medicine, it would take at least a year for an average person to potentially reach level 5.

However, she had just witnessed with her own eyes that Ye Qiu had shortened this time to a mere month.

This was a very frightening set of data, and Su Qing dared not imagine the storm it would cause if the Military Department became aware of this video.

She calmed her mind and observed the following videos with even greater attention.

Gradually, she also noticed a peculiar aura in Ye Qiu’s movements. From initially only being able to practice a few moves to increasingly smooth and coordinated movements that were graceful yet powerful.

The movements seemed very simple, but she, as a family member of a high-ranking military official, understood that some of them were already pushing the body to its limits.

After watching a few videos, Su Qing felt an urge to try for herself. As Ye Qiu provided a breakdown of the moves in the videos, she immediately went to her own cultivation room.

But after five minutes, Su Qing received a severe blow. Although she was already thirty-one years old this year and had Body Technique Level 5, she could not even complete the first segment of the level 1 movements!

And just within minutes, she was already drenched in sweat. Watching Ye Qiu’s fluid movements, Su Qing’s eyes grew even more fervent; she would not give up.
