Chen Xiaobei was growing increasingly uncomfortable. It was now apparent that Ling Qingfeng had also come to win over Luo Puti’s heart.
The people of high-ranking starfields were really liberal indeed!
Ling Qingfeng had this dreamy look in her eyes as she spoke, “Not only is Saint Duke’s Princess Luo Puti beautiful, but she’s cold and steely like an ice mountain! It makes me want to subdue her and add her to my harem!”
This tomboy was indeed very good looking but the iciness and temper in her eyes were very similar to Luo Puti’s.
“You have a harem…” Chen Xiaobei flinched.
For all intents and purposes, it would seem that people from high-ranking starfields were not only just liberal, but they were extremely freethinking as well!
“Let’s not get into these useless things. Go back and have a good rest. We’ll be going to the imperial city early tomorrow morning!” Ling Qingfeng got up, took out ten medium-grade Spiritual Stones, tossed them on the table and walked out.
“Didn’t we agree that I was paying?” Chen Xiaobei caught up with her.
“That’s such a small amount. Whoever pays makes no difference!” Ling Qingfeng said coolly.
Chen Xiaobei could not help but be taken aback.
10 medium-grade Spiritual Stones was equivalent to 10,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones!
At the moment, Chen Xiaobei had 192 million low-grade Spiritual Stones, but to him, 10,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones for food and drinks were exorbitant!
Now, Chen Xiaobei knew that a high-ranking starfield was an excellent place to earn an obscene amount of Spiritual Stones!
…
Ling Qingfeng brought Chen Xiaobei back to the villa. The building was now burnt to the ground.
All that commotion drew the attention of Saint Duke’s government officials.
About a dozen soldiers in stellar uniforms had gathered at the scene, examining the remains, trying to figure out what had taken place.
The bastard Li Zijian was among the crowd. He looked rather pleased when he asked, “Baihu Fu, did you find any bodies?”
Bai Hu! A government official!
Apparently, a high-ranking starfield employed the same hierarchy as Greenhill’s Black Phantom Bureau!
Baihu Fu walked from the scorched building, shaking his head. “No, we didn’t find any bodies… Childe Qingfeng is the elite who’s ranked eleventh on the Nine Zones Earth Leaderboard, so how could she have died so easily?”
Liu Zijian smiled, “Of course Childe Qingfeng wouldn’t die! I am talking about someone elses’ body!”
“There are no bodies at the scene.” Baihu Fu shook his head.
“What?! You have look again closely!” Liu Zijian’s brows furrowed. “How could a an outsider in his twenties have survived Childe Qingfeng’s hands?!”
Baihu Fu looked at the man. Once again, Liu Zijian had caused harm to someone.
But because Liu Zijian’s master was Saint Duke’s Eight Marquis, Baihu Fu could only open one eye but was forced to close the other. Liu Zijian would not be questioned.
“Lord Jian,” Baihu Fu said. “We’ve searched the entire place. There really isn’t a body! Perhaps Childe Qingfeng turned that person into ashes and left no body?!”
“Just keep searching! You will surely find some evidence!” Liu Zijian insisted stubbornly.
“Hey, jerk! Are you looking for me?” A voice suddenly called out.
Everyone turned their head to look when they heard the word ‘jerk’.
Someone actually called Liu Zijian a jerk!
The audacity!
Chen Xiaobei and Ling Qingfeng approached the house, walking shoulder to shoulder at a leisurely pace.
Even Ling Qinfeng winced at the name-calling.
Back at the restaurant, she had reminded Chen Xiaobei not to aggravate Liu Zijian again, but upon their meeting, Chen Xiaobei honoured him with the title ‘jerk’!
Ling Qingfeng thought that she was already very uncompromising; who knew that Chen Xiaobei was even more so than she was!
“How… is it you…” Liu Zijian looked like he had just seen a ghost. “How are you still alive, and you’re now with Childe Qingfeng?! Didn’t Childe Qinfeng fight you?”
“Is your brain full of shit? If she didn’t, then why would the villa be burnt to ashes?” Chen Xiaobei snapped.
“If that’s true… There’s no way you would still be alive!” Liu Zijian swallowed. “Childe Qinfeng is a young prodigy! If she attacks you, you’re sure to be dead!”
The Saint Duke soldiers who had been listening in on the conversation nodded in unison.
Other than the 10 on the Nine Zones Earth Leaderboard, no one under thirty years of age could compete with Ling Qingfeng.
“Mr. Chen is not weak. We came to a draw!” Ling Qinfeng said. “We had a good sparring session. And the result is a draw! After that, we went for a drink.”
“What? A draw? How is that possible?”
The people all around looked cynical, especially Liu Zijian. His beady little rat eyes glared at Chen Xiaobei so hard it looked like they were going to explode.
To Liu Zijian, Chen Xiaobei was just another outsider in his early twenties with no faction background, nor any royal connections who had come to Saint Duke’s capital planet through the elimination competition.
An inexperienced young man like that should have died in Ling Qingfeng’s hands.
Liu Zijian thought that he had Chen Xiaobei all figured out; he did not even dream that it would possible for Chen Xiaobei to score a draw against Ling Qingfeng!
This indicated that this apparently unseasoned newcomer Chen Xiaobei, was going to be climb up the Nine Zones Earth Leaderboard upon his debut!
He would at least be ranked ar eleventh place together with Ling Qinfeng!
The Saint Duke soldiers now looked at Chen Xiaobei with awe and admiration, and some even displayed fondness.
The Nine Zones Earth Leaderboard was an elite ranking for those under thirty.
Age was the biggest advantage of these elites on the leaderboard.
As long as their names were on the board, they would all be able to enjoy a limitless and optimistic future – a one in a million, blessed and favored by the gods!
As long as they did not come to a premature end, in the near future, those whose names were on the list would become the true master of a zone and completely dominate in their respective fields!
Liu Zijian was suddenly all chummy.
“Childe Chen! Childe Qingfeng!” He said with high esteem. “This… This villa is destroyed. I’ll arrange new living quarters for the both of you immediately!”
“Mm, hurry up! I’m knackered!” Ling Qinfeng said.
For the sake of saving the Eighth Marquis’ reputation, Ling Qingfeng deliberately changed the topic so that that Chen Xiaobei would not probe Liu Zijian further.
However, Chen Xiaobei was too occupied with the idea of entering the palace the next day to even care about getting even with Liu Zijian.
After that, Chen Xiaobei and Ling Qingfeng were later assigned to the villa that wasinitially prepared for Chen Xiaobei.
Although Ling Qingfeng was very attractive, Chen Xiaobei was not in the least bit attracted to her at all.
They slept separately and did not speak for the rest of the night.
The next morning, the air outside the villa was abuzz.
The time to enter the palace had arrived!
