Starforce Warriors

Wushuang City suffered heavy losses. As the main culprit, Li Xiaofei had become a thorn in the side of many in power. However, his status within the Exploding Star Gang only grew more secure.

During the banquet, Li Xiaofei picked up some unexpected information from the idle boasting and gossip of the gang's upper ranks. Since Cao Shaoang had been a government official, his death had made the auction house incident far more complicated.

At first, the power struggle surrounding the case nearly overturned the conclusion that Hu Shuo had set that night.

Wei Xiaotian had made a great sacrifice at a critical moment. Not only had he distributed a substantial amount of financial benefits, but he had even sacrificed his dignity. He attended the drinking parties of several noblewomen for three consecutive nights. It was only with Director Hu's intense maneuvering that they finally managed to settle the matter once and for all.

Otherwise, even if nothing else happened, Cao Shaoang's death alone would have landed Li Xiaofei in the Internal Affairs Bureau's dungeons with no escape.

"You're truly my dear big brother," said Li Xiaofei as he stood up and raised his glass in a toast.

If a big brother couldn't take a hit for his little brothers in critical moments, what kind of big brother was he?

That night, after returning to his residence, Li Xiaofei had just finished taking a bath when—

Knock, knock.

There was a soft knocking at the door. Miss Fan, embodying both purity and seduction, hesitantly stepped inside. Words were left unsaid as she began to undress under Li Xiaofei's questioning gaze.

No doubt about it, she was a born actress. That perfect blend of shyness and determination was exactly the kind that could set a man's blood on fire.

Li Xiaofei was momentarily stunned. Then, he immediately understood what she meant. Faced with this purified, Great Dao-enhanced version of Fan Lingling, he didn't hesitate in the slightest and pinned her down right away.

There was no need for words; this was nostalgia. How could he possibly let an opportunity like this slip away?

The night was a fierce battle. By the end, she felt like she had been torn apart. That heavenly yet hellish sensation, the repeated ascents to ecstasy followed by plunges into exhaustion, was something she had never experienced before.

Are these aliens... really just beasts?she wondered.

But she didn't dare slack off. Instead, she poured every ounce of effort into pleasing and serving the man before her. She was doing everything in her power to satisfy him. By the time dawn arrived, she felt completely broken.

The storm had passed, but moving even a single finger felt impossible. But within just a few breaths, a strange energy began to spread through her body and return her strength. Her exhaustion faded like mist under the morning sun. She had never felt this incredible before.

"Master..." said Miss Fan. She hesitated as she looked at the man floating by the bedside, uncertainty flickering in her eyes. "Can I... ask you for a favor?"

"No," replied Li Xiaofei, refusing without a second thought.

"I..."

"I know exactly what you want to ask. Forget it. I won't send you back, and I can't send you back."

Li Xiaofei pulled up his pants and immediately cut ties. Miss Fan's expression dimmed. Even though everything about this alien world seemed mysterious, she had still wanted to go back.

Here, she was nothing more than cargo, a gift, a pretty but powerless slave. Of course, she longed to return. Back in her world, she was a superstar. That timeline was where she truly belonged.

"You're lucky you ran into me," Li Xiaofei said. "Surviving this mess is already a miracle. Don't expect too much."

Miss Fan lowered her head, looking pitiful and fragile, but Li Xiaofei was completely unmoved. He finished dressing and walked straight out the door.

Bang.

The door shut behind him.

Just as Li Xiaofei was about to call for Huang Dinggou and figure out a way to gather resources for Taoyuan, his phone suddenly rang. It was Director Hu from the Demon Hunting Bureau.

Li Xiaofei picked up and listened for a few seconds. A strange expression appeared on his face. He asked, "What? You want me to send her back? You're joking, right?"

"Do I sound like I have time for jokes?" Director Hu replied coldly. "This is an order from above. You're to personally escort all the 'contraband' back to their respective base planets."

"From above?"

"Don't ask too many questions. Just do as you're told. Also, stay sharp during the mission, try not to get yourself killed."

"Wait, so you're saying this mission isn't simple?"

"Fine, I'll tell you. The higher-ups want to use this opportunity to investigate the smuggling operations and dig deeper into Eden's network."

"Damn. So, basically, you're using me as bait again. Can I refuse?"

"Of course... not!"

"Then can I at least make some demands?"

"Don't push it."

"I won't. Just some gear, armor, and supplies. That's reasonable, right?"

"Fine. Make a list. I'll pull some premium stock from the official armory for you."

"Your humble servant will follow you through fire and water, my lord!"

"Scram."

"Got it!"

Li Xiaofei hung up. He turned around and walked back. When he entered the room, he saw Miss Fan sitting on the bed in a daze. Her hair was disheveled, and her delicate brows were furrowed with sorrow.

He walked over and said, "Considering how dedicated you were last night, I've changed my mind."

Miss Fan was momentarily stunned.

"Really?" She asked. A sudden light ignited in her mesmerizing eyes. "Master, you're really willing to send me back?"

Li Xiaofei sighed and said, "What can I say? I'm just a morally upright, kind-hearted, soft-hearted, and compassionate young man of the new era."

Miss Fan burst into tears of joy. She immediately jumped into Li Xiaofei's arms, rubbing against him like a kitten, until he lost control of his 'gun' and accidentally fired.

Another stormy night followed. By the time it was over, Miss Fan once again felt the tangible benefits of their union. She realized that her skin was smoother, and her body more supple and curvaceous. Her nearsightedness had vanished, and, most importantly, her energy levels had never been higher. Even her strength had increased!

Can sleeping with an alien really have such incredible benefits?

"Master, you spent a fortune to redeem me. I will always be yours. You can do whatever you want with me," Miss Fan whispered passionately.

Li Xiaofei traced a hand over her flawless back and murmured, "I'm glad you understand. Not only did I spend money, but sending you back is also a huge risk... Sigh, a sentimental man like me is always misunderstood."

Spent money, my ass. Ever since that night at the auction, after he triple-killed Zhou Chenguang with a single shot, no one had dared to take his money anymore. He got everything for free.

Three days later, Li Xiaofei and his group left Ding-8 District and headed toward the core of Chongque City, Jia-2 District. Jia District was the heart of Chongque City. Only those with special authorization from the City Lord's Office were permitted to enter.

Even the powerful council members of the Parliament had no right to step foot inside. This was the domain of the Military Division. Chongque City served as a gateway to the hundred thousand base planets. They constantly recruited soldiers and selected geniuses for the Star Battlefield. The Jia District was the operational hub that made it all possible.

The Supernatural Formation Arrays within this district were the only legal means in the entire universe to travel to the hundred thousand base planets.

As such, the area was heavily guarded. It could be said that ninety percent of Chongque City's top-tier combat forces and strongest warriors were stationed in this district. The closer they got to Jia-2 District, the tighter the security became.

"Once we're inside, don't look at anything and don't ask anything. Just follow me and stay quiet," said Li Xiaofei, warning the two women behind him.

Miss Fan and the sword maiden, Ah Qing, nodded.
