Chapter 1799: Solar System Upheaval! World Phantom!

Just as Xu Jingming was continuously slaying abyssal demons and harvesting particles on his end.

Human territory, the Milky Way, Blue Star.

Demon Capital, top floor of the Great Xia Empire Parliament Building.

Inside an elegantly decorated office.

Ling Shuang sat at the head of a spacious desk, a black classical long dress setting off her skin like snow.

The teardrop mole at the corner of her eye added a touch of unique charm under the sunlight streaming through the window.

At this moment, however, her expression was slightly solemn as she listened to Liu Wei's report before her.

"Madam Ling, this is Blue Whale Trading Company's financial report for last quarter."

Liu Wei stood respectfully, the virtual light screen in her hand constantly jumping with data:

"Third quarter interstellar trade volume increased 220% year-on-year, net profit reached 8.3 billion cosmic credits.

I have already followed your instructions and invested 60% of it into the Solar System planetary transformation project.

The first phase of the ecological domes on Jupiter and Saturn has been completed, capable of housing the first batch of 5 billion immigrants."

"Not bad."

Ling Shuang nodded slightly, red lips parting lightly:

"However, Liu Wei, the cooperation terms with Kalon Star need to be refined further.

They recently attempted to bypass the Trade Alliance's profit sharing through a subsidiary.

Although their methods were quite covert, they were still discovered by us."

A trace of cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes:

"With our current status.

Being able to cooperate with a single life planet is already giving them face.

If they weren't one of our early cooperation partners, the contract would have been terminated long ago.

Notify them, this time we'll let it slide.

If there is another similar action, Blue Star will unilaterally terminate cooperation.

And reserve the right to reclaim all dividends from the past three years."

"Yes!"

Liu Wei's heart trembled, and she hurriedly recorded it.

Among Lei Di's many wives.

Ling Shuang's strength might not be the strongest.

But she already faintly possessed the bearing of a harem's chief wife.

Not only managing Blue Star's internal affairs in perfect order.

Even interstellar trade and diplomatic affairs were handled with ease.

Usually gentle and charming, but once something involving Blue Star's interests occurred, her methods were so ruthless they made one's heart palpitate.

"Also, the Noah Empire sent a letter.

Hoping to open a fixed trade route directly reaching Blue Star."

Liu Wei continued reporting: "They are willing to pay 5 billion cosmic credits per year in route fees."

"The route can be opened, but route fees raised to 8 billion."

Ling Shuang's slender fingers tapped the tabletop lightly, tone brooking no refusal:

"Tell them, this is a preferential price given on account of Master Lu Wen's face.

If it were the Star Torch Empire negotiating, this figure would be 12 billion."

"Understood."

Liu Wei recorded swiftly, secretly admiring in her heart.

This kind of negotiating confidence came entirely from Lei Di Xu Jingming's current influence in the universe.

The report continued for over an hour.

After Liu Wei closed the virtual light screen, bowed respectfully, and exited the office, Ling Shuang finally let out a light breath.

She picked up the spirit tea beside the table and took a sip, beautiful eyes gazing at the azure sky outside the window.

It had been over three months since Xu Jingming left Blue Star.

She still would look toward the sky from time to time.

Expecting Xu Jingming to suddenly appear.

Whoosh—

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

A graceful figure walked in.

It was precisely Su Qingli.

She wore a white form-fitting battle suit.

Green silk like a waterfall, an absolutely beautiful face carrying a gentle smile:

"Frost Sister, busy all day again? Don't overwork yourself."

Hearing this, Ling Shuang turned her head, smiling charmingly:

"Qingli's here? Sit."

She gestured for Su Qingli to sit opposite, then said with a smile:

"We're Cosmic lifeforms now, no need to rest or sleep for thousands of years.

Just listening to some reports, doesn't count as tired."

She paused, her voice soft yet firm:

"Jingming is cultivating at the Star Qiong Academy over there; we can't fall behind.

On Blue Star's side, we must take good care of things so he can rest easy."

As her words fell, Su Qingli stared at her intently, a teasing smile in her beautiful eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Ling Shuang felt uneasy under her gaze, glanced down at her clothes, and found nothing amiss.

"Nothing."

Su Qingli suddenly broke into a smile, that smile like the first thaw of ice and snow, breathtakingly beautiful:

"No wonder Jingming always feeds you first when he returns.

If I were Jingming, with such a virtuous and beautiful wife, I'd also choose you first."

"What nonsense are you spouting."

Ling Shuang's pretty face flushed slightly as she gave her an annoyed, playful glare.

"I'm not spouting nonsense."

Su Qingli rose with a beaming smile and walked to Ling Shuang's back.

Suddenly reaching out from behind, she embraced her, chin resting on her fragrant shoulder:

"Speaking of which, your chest seems to have grown a bit again, hasn't it?

Tsk tsk, no wonder Jingming always......"

She began to move her hands improperly.

"Ah! Don't mess around!"

Ling Shuang, somewhat annoyed and embarrassed, slapped away her claws, rolled her eyes beautifully, and said:

"You're a mother now—how can you still be as improper as Chu Xuan!"

Among the women, her and Su Qingli's children were conceived relatively early.

Nowadays, Su Qingli's daughter Xu Yue is already nearly ten years old.

Carved in jade and sculpted in ice, she is adorably charming.

"What's wrong with having a daughter? Does having a daughter mean you can't tease your own sisters?"

Su Qingli laughed mischievously, about to continue teasing her.

Suddenly——

"Woo——!!!"

The piercing alarm blared without warning, echoing throughout the entire room!

The holographic projection popped up automatically, the AI's image appearing, reminding:

"Mistress Ling, Mistress Su!

The planetary monitoring system has detected abnormal spatial fluctuations!

Coordinates: outside Jupiter's orbit, approximately 7.4 billion kilometers from Blue Star!"

"What?!"

The two women's expressions changed simultaneously.

Ling Shuang instantly rose to her feet, her alluring demeanor completely withdrawn, replaced by icy sternness:

"Pull up the real-time feed!"

"Yes!"

The AI waved its hand, and the virtual light screen switched the display.

In the vast starry sky, Jupiter, that enormous gas giant, slowly rotated.

And beside it, a blurry illusion was gradually solidifying!

"This is......"

Su Qingli's black pupils narrowed slightly.

Ling Shuang made a snap decision: "Go! To outer space!"

She waved her jade hand, and spatial laws surged.

"Whoosh——!"

Two graceful figures vanished instantly from the office.

In outer space beyond Blue Star, amidst the cold depths of the universe.

Ling Shuang and Su Qingli stood shoulder to shoulder, their bodily laws flowing naturally, isolating vacuum and radiation.

They gazed into the distance.

Only to see beside Jupiter, a colossal world illusion slowly emerging!

That illusion was immeasurably vast, seeming even larger than Jupiter itself!

Faintly visible within were the outlines of mountains, rivers, palaces, and towers.

As if a complete ancient world were about to descend from the void!

"What is this?!"

Su Qingli exclaimed in a low voice.

"Such a huge illusion! It seems a world is about to descend!"

Ling Shuang was equally shocked, but quickly calmed down.

And at this moment——

Whoosh whoosh whoosh——!!!

One graceful figure after another arrived in succession via transmission from the direction of Blue Star.

Ye Lan, Lu Yunji, Aimo Si, Song Qiuyun, Jiang Chuxuan......

Xu Jingming's many beloved women sensed the anomaly and rushed to outer space one after another.

At this moment, each and every one of them stared in shock at that increasingly condensed, massive illusory figure.

Last time when Xu Jingming returned, he gave them sufficient resources.

Helping them all reach the Universe stage.

Yet even so, with their strength, they were unable to probe the origins of this massive illusory figure.

"Stay alert! Block all information!"

Ling Shuang was the first to react, a decisive look appearing on her stunningly beautiful face:

"Perhaps some secret realm has emerged! I'll go contact Sister Ye Li first!"

As she spoke, she was about to enter the virtual universe to call for help.

However, she was still a step too late......
