Chapter 666: 6 Billion in Loot! Speeding!

"Accompany you, Teacher Ling, to meet your friend?"

Xu Jingming was slightly surprised, "Aren't you going to the Thunder Martial Arts Gym tomorrow?"

Since arriving in Mocheng, Ling Shuang had spent almost all her time outside of cultivation and missions in the gym's office.

"No."

Ling Shuang lazily sat down on the sofa opposite Xu Jingming, her long skirt revealing pale, slender legs casually crossed.

"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, the day after is Spring Festival—no matter how busy I am, I need to rest these two days, don't I?"

"That's true."

Xu Jingming nodded with a smile, "I'm free until tonight."

Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve; though I can't return to Daxia.

But gathering with my aunt and Song Qiuyun in the virtual world is still quite nice.

"Alright, then I'll come find you tomorrow morning.

We'll first go to the shopping street to buy gifts, then visit my friend."

Ling Shuang nodded slightly:

"By the way, I heard the Holy Church's morning ceremony was interrupted by the Sect of Destiny—were you in any danger?"

In truth, just by observing Xu Jingming's condition, Ling Shuang could tell he hadn't been harmed.

Still, for safety's sake, she asked anyway.

"No problem—I killed quite a few of them myself," Xu Jingming replied with a smile.

"Good. Then I'll leave now; I'll come find you tomorrow."

"Alright."

Ling Shuang opened a space gate and stepped inside, her slender figure vanishing quickly.

Xu Jingming continued organizing his loot.

The second space ring he opened belonged to Cole.

Though he was a high-tier seventh-rank master, his combat strength wasn't particularly strong.

Even his space ring was extremely poor—everything inside totaled only about one billion Blue Star credits.

"Too poor—even a procurement manager from the Silver Moon Trading Company has more."

Shaking his head, Xu Jingming quickly sorted through all the space rings.

There were forty-seven space rings total, worth roughly six billion Blue Star credits altogether.

Most of the value came from the two rings belonging to seventh-rank masters.

The rings contained mostly blood and Blood Demon Pills, which were useless to him.

"At least it's profit with no investment—six billion Blue Star credits is still decent."

Xu Jingming thought silently.

Of course, in his view, the most important gains were the Blood Divine Indicator and the Blood Divine Secret Technique.

The next day, nine a. .

After completing his daily training, Xu Jingming received a message from Ling Shuang saying she was heading to the mall.

He quickly showered, changed into casual clothes, and stepped out.

At the villa entrance, a bright red convertible was parked.

Ling Shuang wore sunglasses, a simple white T-shirt, and light blue jeans.

She wore white sneakers and leaned casually beside the car.

The morning sunlight fell on her face, highlighting her pale, refined features—she looked youthful and radiant.

This surprised Xu Jingming, who was used to Ling Shuang's classical, elegant attire.

"With such intense training, how come you look a bit dazed?"

Ling Shuang removed her sunglasses, revealing the tear mole at the corner of her eye, looking surprised.

"No, I'm just stunned by your casual outfit."

Xu Jingming grinned.

In terms of appearance and figure, Ling Shuang didn't look like she was in her thirties at all.

She looked more like a woman in her twenties, just with a touch of mature charm.

"Smooth talker—get in the car. First, let's buy gifts at the mall."

Ling Shuang gave Xu Jingming a half-irritated glance.

"Teacher Ling, why aren't you using your space ability this time?"

Xu Jingming asked, settling into the passenger seat.

"Using space ability too much—I sometimes just want to try ordinary transportation."

With a low engine roar, under Ling Shuang's control, the entire car shot forward with a bang.

"Teacher Ling, are you sure this counts as ordinary transportation?"

Watching the speedometer climb past 300 kilometers per hour as they left the Thunder Martial Arts Gym zone,

Xu Jingming couldn't help but blink.

Though cultivators' reaction speeds far exceed ordinary people's, allowing them to easily dodge other vehicles,

this was a busy urban district where traffic jams were common.

At this speed, they'd definitely crash into other cars.

Even if their strong physiques wouldn't be harmed, other vehicles would suffer.

"Don't worry—it's fine."

BOOM!!

At Ling Shuang's clear, melodious voice, the car's speed surged to 400 kilometers per hour!

The scenery on both sides of the road blurred past; pedestrians stared in shock at the obviously speeding supercar.

The wind from the car even lifted the short skirts of some girls on the roadside,

offering a glimpse beneath.

"Teacher Ling, I think we should slow down."

Seeing more and more vehicles ahead, Xu Jingming couldn't help but warn her.

Though he'd killed many, that didn't mean he enjoyed killing innocents.

"Don't worry—it's fine!"

On Ling Shuang's pale, refined face, rare excitement flickered.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!...

The red sports car didn't slow at all, as if existing in a different dimension from the other vehicles.

It simply passed straight through them!

"Space ability?" Xu Jingming finally realized.

Ling Shuang's space ability could shift objects into another dimension.

Ordinary cultivators couldn't even touch them.

He'd witnessed this ability many times before.

"Exactly. Now you're not worried anymore?"

Pressing the accelerator, Ling Shuang drove the red sports car at 400 kilometers per hour through city streets.

Police noticed along the way, but after sensing her formidable aura, they pretended not to see.

In Mocheng, high-rank cultivators had a license to kill—killing a few people was no big deal.

Especially since Ling Shuang was only speeding and hadn't harmed anyone.

Thus, the mall—which normally took an hour to reach by car—

Ling Shuang arrived at in under ten minutes.

Upon reaching the mall, Ling Shuang and Xu Jingming got out.

The AI-powered red sports car automatically headed toward the parking lot.

"How was the speed? Pretty good, right?"

Ling Shuang asked Xu Jingming, a hint of pride in her tone.

"Definitely fast," Xu Jingming gave a thumbs-up.

To be honest, this was the first time he'd seen this side of Ling Shuang.

"Come on, let's pick out gifts first."

Ling Shuang smiled and strode forward with her long legs; Xu Jingming hurried to follow.
