Chapter 510: Chapter 7: I’m a Woman (7)

Shen Jian kept walking forward, not speaking to Luo Xiao.

Luo Xiao was really furious now, directly rushing over to block in front of the two.

“Jian, what’s going on? Why are you treating me like this? I thought we were good friends.”

Shen Jian sneered, “Good friends? Are good friends for scheming against? Admiral Luo, I dare not make friends with someone like you, please step aside.”

“Jian, how could I scheme against you, has someone been gossiping in your ear?”

Luo Xiao glared coldly at Li Shuning, thinking that this petty woman, since she wasn’t around for a while, must have been badmouthing him to Shen Jian, right?

Li Shuning could tell from Luo Xiao’s expression what he was thinking.

With a sneer, Li Shuning completely ignored Luo Xiao.

Luo Xiao became even angrier, reaching out his hand, intent on hitting Li Shuning.

Shen Jian wanted to stop it naturally, but considering Luo Xiao’s cultivation level, how could he stop it? Moreover, seeing Shen Jian protect Li Shuning, Luo Xiao’s fury burned even more, causing his strength to be uncontrollably strong. Li Shuning’s gaze sharpened, and in the next moment, a spiritual shield appeared in front of her. However, Luo Xiao’s strike was vicious, and the shield only lasted a few seconds before shattering.

But Li Shuning’s interception gave Shen Jian some time, and he immediately stood in front of Li Shuning.

Shen Jian glared coldly at Luo Xiao, “Admiral Luo preparing to kill someone? Then kill me first.”

Luo Xiao’s gaze grew colder and his anger more intense. Why was Shen Jian still defending that woman? What was so great about that woman?

Li Shuning then directly contacted her family: “Dad, Admiral Luo wants to kill me. I’ve already used the light computer to record a video and sent it to you. If I die, it’s because Admiral Luo killed me.”

Luo Xiao suddenly sobered up, remembering that this world was not her original one.

In her original world, even if she killed someone from the Imperial Family, the Imperial Family wouldn’t dare say a word.

In this world, strength was the highest authority, and this woman’s father was also a Tenth Rank powerhouse. More importantly, she had several brothers, each with impressive battle achievements.

Looking at Shen Jian’s icy face, Luo Xiao’s heart ached, realizing she had lost her rationality again.

She threw a hateful look at Li Shuning, knowing that if it hadn’t been for Li Shuning’s earlier sneer, she might not have made a move.

And Li Shuning actually recorded a video, clearly having planned this well in advance. Damned, she was set up.

In fact, Li Shuning hadn’t anticipated Luo Xiao would act, but as an extremely powerful figure, though she put up a shield and let Luo Xiao break it, she had quietly activated the light computer on her wrist when Luo Xiao moved.

Serves them right for getting caught red-handed, daring to attack her. If the original owner had stood here, they might already be dead.

A strike from a Tenth Rank powerhouse, the original owner couldn’t withstand it.

Just now, Luo Xiao struck with rage without leaving any room for mercy.

When Li Xing received the message from Li Shuning, he was furious.

Did they take Li Xing for a dead man, daring to attack his little princess like this?

Shen Jian was also angry, “Admiral Luo, although you are an admiral, instead of fighting the enemy, you attack an Alliance citizen like this. Really impressive.”

Luo Xiao suddenly deflated, “Shen Jian, I don’t know why you’re suddenly cold to me. I treated you as a friend. I don’t have many friends, and your attitude made me act rashly. I’m sorry, this time I overreacted. After dealing with Alliance matters, I rushed over to meet my friend, but didn’t expect…”

Luo Xiao left, back a bit dejected.

However, Shen Jian was unmoved.

At this moment, he was resolutely convinced that Luo Xiao had ill intentions.

So Luo Xiao’s display of weakness was utterly ineffective.

It wasn’t long before Li Xing arrived with his people.

In the video, Luo Xiao’s actions were truly blatant.

Li Xing could even imagine, if his Ningning hadn’t been clever, she might have been beaten to death with nowhere to complain.

Afterwards, Li Xing submitted the video to the Law Alliance Department.

As for how the Alliance would handle it, Li Xing didn’t care, today a feud with Luo Xiao was established.

Although the Alliance valued Luo Xiao, they also placed importance on seasoned Tenth Rank experts like Li Xing.

Moreover, Luo Xiao’s act of attacking a low-rank Spiritual Ability User crossed certain boundaries.

The Alliance punished Luo Xiao; first, Luo Xiao had to compensate Li Shuning with ten million Alliance Coin as a fright fee. Second, Luo Xiao had to ensure not to cause trouble for Li Shuning again. Third, Luo Xiao had to give Li Shuning five Condensed Liquid Fruits as compensation.

Condensed Liquid Fruits are very beneficial to Spiritual Ability Users.

Of course, these fruits are not cheap and quite rare.

However, Luo Xiao had them. After years of suppressing bandits, not to mention five, even ten were available.

It’s not just a punishment, but also a warning.

Nowadays, the Alliance imposes certain constraints on cultivators.

If cultivators become lawless due to their strength, the Alliance would face a dire fate, making external resistance against the Insect Clan moot with internal chaos first.

Luo Xiao didn’t say anything, directly agreeing.

On the same day, the Alliance Coin and fruits were delivered to the Li Family.

This matter was thus considered concluded.

Afterwards, Luo Xiao frequently sought out Shen Jian, unable to understand why Shen Jian’s attitude had changed so drastically.

Without figuring out this relationship, she was unwilling to give up.

Shen Jian couldn’t stand Luo Xiao’s persistence.

Ultimately, he shared his thoughts.

Essentially questioning Luo Xiao if she had ulterior motives for approaching him, why events on Sky Blue Star happened so, and when returning to Purple Cloud Star, why so many incidents occurred.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xiao quickly explained, stating while on Sky Blue Star, she wasn’t physically injured, but her spiritual power was harmed. Within the Thief Gang was a Spiritual Ability User who severely damaged her spiritual power.

Under such circumstances, given her short acquaintance with Shen Jian, she indeed deceived him, but at the time it was for her own safety, after all, she had many enemies. Although not a Spiritual Ability User, the damage to her spiritual power affected her abilities.

Shen Jian thought for a moment and found truth in it.

As for taking so long to return, Luo Xiao smiled wryly.

She explained that at the time, the starship had incurred damage in war, but because it had to return, she planned to escort him back, otherwise, they would’ve waited for repairs before departing.

Due to the starship’s extensive damage, some predictions couldn’t be made at all.

Luo Xiao apologized to Shen Jian, admitting her concealment was wrong, but she genuinely considered him a friend and didn’t want to lose him.

Shen Jian said nothing at the time. After returning, he thought it over and felt Luo Xiao’s words made sense, softening his heart.

Since Luo Xiao’s defense that day, their relationship seemed to improve again.
