Chapter 512: Chapter 9: I’m a Woman (9)

Luo Xiao was very happy. After all, Shen Jian agreed. Next, she had confidence that as long as they were together, one day Shen Jian would realize she was the best person for him. However, when she saw the necklace around Shen Jian’s neck, her eyes narrowed.

Pretending to notice it casually, Luo Xiao said nonchalantly, “That’s really great, with you around, we two brothers will always have something to do when we’re bored, after all, the Thief Gang needs to be found. Hey, Xiao Jian, your necklace looks nice, who gave it to you?”

Shen Jian’s heart moved, and he smiled as he said, “Family was worried, the necklace is nothing, just sturdy enough to be useful. It’s just the beads, wasn’t there a time when Lucky Beads were popular? Since this trip is far away, they put it on me.”

Luo Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. If it was given by family, then there’s nothing to worry about. Lucky Beads, huh? Hopefully, they’re as useful as the name suggests.

After Luo Xiao finished communicating with the Alliance, she was ready to depart, and Shen Jian also went to bid farewell to his little friends and family members.

Li Shuning was also among the farewells, after all, she had already expressed that she didn’t want anything from Shen Jian.

She truly wished the two of them a safe journey.

After they left, Li Shuning took the few fruits she got earlier, thought for a moment, and told her family that she was going into closed retreat.

When she came out again, she demonstrated the strength of the Fifth Rank.

After all, eating those fruits should have some effect, right? Although, in reality, she didn’t eat them.

Now that Shen Jian was not around, and she was in her own home, many things became much more convenient.

She thought it over and asked the butler for an empty workshop.

She was planning to revamp her hovercar.

That hovercar had been used in many worlds, and although it was well-maintained, it still had some issues.

In this world, she also had a hovercar, pink and very small and exquisite.

Comparing this interstellar world to the first one she encountered, many things were similar. Although hovercar technology had some differences, it was largely similar.

Because she couldn’t explain the origin of the old hovercar, Li Shuning’s workshop was closed, not allowing others to come in and out.

The Little Princess’s orders must be obeyed, after all.

In these days, no one came to Li Shuning’s place, saving a lot of trouble.

In the end, she still couldn’t bear to part with the original hovercar, especially the AI on it.

Li Shuning thought about it and asked Xiao Six whether if she modified the hovercar here, and then took it away, would it be considered a new item or not?

Xiao Six told her, as long as it’s not a large-scale renovation, it won’t be considered a new item.

Li Shuning was reassured.

For the exterior, she still used the original hovercar. The alloy used back then was very sturdy, but there was some corrosion, so she revamped the exterior and reworked some of the interior fittings.

After half a month, the hovercar was completely renewed.

The AI was still the original AI.

However, the hovercar from this world ended up quite pitiful. Many parts were removed, and it was completely dismantled.

When Li Shuning came out of the workshop, her brothers came to see her and discovered that the Little Princess had been dismantling a hovercar and even scrapped one.

The Li Family wasn’t short on money. Seeing the anxious look on Li Shuning’s face, they couldn’t bear to scold her and even bought her a new one.

As for the original one, it was sent away directly.

They didn’t ask where the missing parts from the car went, to avoid mentioning the Little Princess’s sad matters and bringing her to tears, which would be disastrous.

In the storyline, several brothers were killed.

If the brothers were more powerful, or if she was by their side at the time, maybe everything could be changed, right?

Later on, Li Shuning often asked her brothers to accompany her in sparring.

Li Shuning behaved normally, from fumbling at first to directly suppressing the weakest Sixth Brother later. As for Fourth, Third, Eldest, and Second Brothers, they were not defeated. They were worried about hurting Li Shuning. Li Shuning, however, was not worried; she wasn’t truly just a Fifth Rank. When one side held back, it naturally couldn’t exert full strength.

Because of continual sparring, the brothers also became more serious and gradually became more motivated. After all, having a younger sister stronger than themselves felt strange.

After all, in their hearts, the little sister was the Little Princess they had to protect. Now that the Little Princess was stronger than them, they couldn’t let that happen; they were the brothers after all.

Therefore, the brothers also started cultivating diligently.

As for Luo Xiao and Shen Jian, Li Shuning always saw what she wanted to see through the Lucky Bead. However, since the two hadn’t yet broken through that boundary, Luo Xiao was still acting with restraint. What was seen couldn’t really say much, only that these two brothers had a good relationship.

Li Shuning laughed, it seemed the stimulus wasn’t enough.

Time passed quickly, three years went by, and Li Shuning now exhibited Sixth Rank spiritual power.

Even Li Shuning’s brothers’ strength had improved.

As Li Shuning grew older, her family began considering marriage for her.

Li Shuning said nothing, letting her mother fuss over it on the other side.

Sure enough, the Shen Family started to get anxious.

Nowadays, Li Shuning, besides her family background, had her own strength that was very attractive.

If Shen Jian didn’t return soon, he might lose his wife.

So Shen Kezhong contacted Shen Jian, urging him to return quickly.

Shen Jian was now also Sixth Rank in body technique.

Hearing that the Li Family was considering suitors for Li Shuning, Shen Jian was also anxious and went to Luo Xiao, saying he wanted to go back.

Luo Xiao remained composed. Over the past three years, she had become much closer to Shen Jian, sometimes chatting late into the night and then sleeping in the same room.

Shen Jian said he wanted to return, she naturally agreed. Afterwards, through indirect inquiries, she learned that Shen Jian wanted to return because of Li Shuning.

This made Luo Xiao furious.

No, I won’t allow it. Over the past three years, their relationship deepened, but it hadn’t reached the point where Shen Jian would openly express his feelings. Why did Li Shuning suddenly reappear at this critical moment? She absolutely would not allow Shen Jian to leave her.

She must act fast but not excessively, ensuring everything seemed natural, to prevent Shen Jian from becoming suspicious. If he did, all efforts over the past three years would be in vain.

“Xiao Jian, it’s quite far from here to Purple Cloud Star. Normally, it would take at least over a month to arrive. I see you’re in a hurry, I know a route, but we’d have to pass through several wormholes, which would make the journey much quicker. However, as you know, traversing wormholes carries some risks. Our starship is quite good, so I think there shouldn’t be much of a problem.”

Shen Jian considered it, traveling through wormholes would be faster, so they decided to take the wormhole route.

Luo Xiao turned away, a smile curling on her lips.
