Su Yaoyao looked at Pani. The adorable little rabbit Beastman was watching her with a look of pure anticipation, his big eyes blinking rapidly as he shouted words of encouragement.

A surge of motivation filled her, and she ran a full 1000 meters.

On a training ground brimming with masculine energy, Su Yaoyao, a small female, running with all her might, was undoubtedly a unique and beautiful sight.

Her cheeks were flushed, and the stubborn look in her eyes was incredibly cute.

Finally, feeling as if her body had fallen to pieces, Su Yaoyao collapsed onto the soft lawn, gasping for breath.

She panted heavily, her heart pounding like it would burst from her chest. Sweat streamed down her forehead, soaking the grass beside her.

’You really shouldn’t let yourself be tempted by a handsome face. I just wanted to do a simple workout, but I lost myself in all of Pani’s cheering and pushed myself too hard. Great. Now I’m completely exhausted.’

As she gasped for air, Su Yaoyao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’Still,’ she thought, recalling her run, ’I feel like I broke through my limits. There’s a special kind of accomplishment in that.’

Just then, Pani gently knelt beside Su Yaoyao. He pulled a clean handkerchief from his pocket and carefully began wiping the sweat from her face, murmuring:

"Yaoyao, you’re amazing! You managed to run the whole 1000 meters. I knew you could do it!"

Hearing this, Su Yaoyao’s heart swelled with pride. A smug smile spread across her face as she looked at Pani and said, "You’re just a sweet talker, Pani. But I really am exhausted."

Seeing how tired Su Yaoyao was, Pani’s heart ached for her. Wanting to make her feel better, he quietly released his Spiritual Body—a little rabbit.

Suddenly, Su Yaoyao felt something fluffy rubbing against her.

She propped herself up curiously to see Pani’s pet rabbit staring at her obediently with its pink eyes. "A bunny!"

Su Yaoyao cried out excitedly, her energy instantly restored. Ignoring her exhaustion, she scooped the rabbit into her arms and began stroking it gently, unable to put it down.

Pani watched her happy expression, the corners of his mouth lifting into a gentle smile. He was used to Su Yaoyao’s affectionate stroking, as long as she didn’t touch any sensitive spots.

The first time this little rabbit had met Su Yaoyao, it had been very timid and shy, always dodging away from her.

But now, it rested docilely in Su Yaoyao’s arms, occasionally nuzzling her palm with its head. It didn’t seem afraid of her at all anymore.

This made Su Yaoyao very happy.

Pani smiled and said, "It seems even the bunny thinks you’re amazing, Yaoyao. That’s why it’s being so affectionate."

"Is that so?" Su Yaoyao cuddled the rabbit, kissing its fluffy head again and again before gently stroking its long ears. The rabbit closed its eyes in comfort, enjoying the gentle touch.

Watching Su Yaoyao’s intimate interaction with his Spiritual Body, and feeling the shared sensations, a blush suddenly crept onto Pani’s face.

He realized he was acting strangely and quickly stood up, afraid Su Yaoyao would notice his shyness.

But Su Yaoyao, still lost in the joy of playing with the little rabbit, didn’t notice Pani’s subtle reaction at all.

At that moment, the surrounding soldiers were on their break and began to gather around. They had all seen Su Yaoyao’s determined run during their training, and now they didn’t hold back their praise.

"The human female is incredible!" a tall Beastman Warrior exclaimed in amazement. "Females in the interstellar alliance are used to being pampered. I’ve never seen one train so hard."

"Yeah, and so full of energy!" another soldier chimed in, his eyes filled with approval.

As the soldiers showered her with one compliment after another, Su Yaoyao felt a bit overwhelmed by the flattery. She lowered her head, but couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from turning up.

"I’m not as good as you all say," Su Yaoyao replied modestly, though her heart felt as sweet as honey.

Suddenly, as if she had just remembered something, Su Yaoyao’s eyes lit up. "Oh, right! I’m planning to perform a soothing for you all to train my spiritual power."

The moment she said this, the training ground erupted into chaos.

"What?! Did I hear that right? The little female is going to perform a soothing for us?!" a young soldier asked, his mouth agape with disbelief.

"Oh my god! I thought I’d have to rely on Rage Suppressors for the rest of my life!" another soldier exclaimed, jumping up and down with excitement and anticipation.

By this time, Bai Lian and Reg had walked over. When they heard what the little female said, worried expressions appeared on their faces.

Bai Lian’s brow furrowed slightly, his eyes filled with concern. "But Yaoyao, your body..." He trailed off, but his deep anxiety was clear.

The excited soldiers instantly calmed down. That was right—the human female’s body was very fragile. Wouldn’t performing a spiritual soothing be harmful to her?

Gerry crossed his arms, his expression grave. "I disagree." ’The last two times the little female performed a soothing, didn’t something go wrong?’

Pani’s eyes reddened as well, and he shook his head fiercely. Su Yaoyao’s health was more important than anything.

Su Yaoyao smiled, patted her chest, and said confidently, "Don’t worry. I’ll start with the simplest First-order Soothing."

’After the cautionary tale with Bai Lian, I wouldn’t dare recklessly perform a Spiritual Link on someone else again,’ she thought.

Seeing their worried expressions persist, Su Yaoyao continued to reassure them:

"I understand your concerns, but this is my choice. I want to use my own strength to help everyone, to protect the interstellar community alongside all of you."

Although Su Yaoyao’s tone was gentle, it carried an undeniable strength that let everyone around her feel her resolve.

Pani, moved by Su Yaoyao’s determination, gave a small nod. A helpless but fond smile appeared on his face as he said, "Alright, Yaoyao. Since you insist, I’ll support you."

Bai Lian gazed at Su Yaoyao, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions: worry, admiration, and a touch of helplessness. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

He heaved a heavy sigh, as if weighing the pros and cons, and finally relented.

He gave a slight nod, his voice tinged with a warning. "Alright. Since your mind is made up, I won’t stop you. But you must pay attention to your body. If you have any problems, tell us immediately."

Su Yaoyao’s gaze then shifted to Reg, who was still scowling and refusing to budge.

If he didn’t give in, the soldiers would surely feel apprehensive.

Su Yaoyao tugged on Reg’s sleeve, her voice a long, drawn-out, wheedling tone. "Reggie~? Pleeeease~?"

Reg’s face instantly turned beet red. ’What did the little female just call him?! Reggie?!!!’

’Who could possibly resist that?!’
