Chapter 666: 6 Billion Haul! Street Racing!
"Accompany Teacher Ling to meet your friend?"
Xu Jingming was a little surprised. "You don't need to go to Lei Ting Wu Guan tomorrow?"
Since coming to Moben, apart from cultivation and carrying out missions, Ling Shuang had spent almost all her time in the martial hall's office.
"No need."
Ling Shuang lazily sat down on the sofa opposite Xu Jingming, her long, slender, fair legs casually crossed beneath her long skirt:
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and the day after is the Spring Festival. No matter how busy I am, I still have to rest these two days, don't I?"
"Fair enough."
Xu Jingming smiled and nodded. "Tomorrow I'm free until the evening."
Tomorrow night is New Year's Eve. Although he couldn't return to Daxia,
gathering with his little aunt, Song Qiuyun, and the others in the virtual world was also quite nice.
"Alright, I'll come find you tomorrow morning then.
We'll first go to the commercial street to buy some gifts, then go find my friend."
Ling Shuang nodded slightly:
"By the way, I heard that members of the Tianming Sect appeared at the Holy See's celebration this morning. You shouldn't have run into any danger, right?"
In truth, just by looking at Xu Jingming's condition, Ling Shuang could tell nothing had happened to him.
Still, just to be safe, she still asked.
"I'm fine. On the contrary, quite a few Tianming Sect members were killed by me." Xu Jingming replied with a smile.
"That's good then. I'll head off now and come find you tomorrow."
"Okay."
Ling Shuang opened a spatial gate, stepped into it, and her graceful figure quickly vanished.
Xu Jingming, meanwhile, continued sorting through his spoils.
The second spatial ring he opened belonged to Cole.
Although this one was a seventh-tier upper-rank Grandmaster, his combat power wasn't particularly strong.
Even his spatial ring was extremely poor; everything inside added up was only worth around 1 billion Blue Star coins.
"Too poor — not even comparable to a purchasing supervisor from the Silver Moon Chamber of Commerce."
Shaking his head, Xu Jingming quickly sorted through all the spatial rings.
A total of 47 spatial rings, and the combined value came to roughly only about 6 billion Blue Star coins.
It was still those two spatial rings from the seventh-tier Grandmasters that made up the bulk.
The most common things inside the rings were blood and Blood Sha Pills, which were utterly useless to him.
"It's a no-cost deal after all. Getting a haul of 6 billion Blue Star coins isn't bad."
Xu Jingming said silently to himself.
Of course, in his view, the most important gains were still the Divine Blood Indicator and that Divine Blood secret art.
The next day, 9 AM.
After finishing his daily training, Xu Jingming received Ling Shuang's message about going to the mall.
He took a quick shower, changed into casual clothes, and headed out.
At the villa's entrance, a bright red convertible sports car was parked there.
Ling Shuang wore a pair of sunglasses, a simple white T-shirt, and light blue jeans.
White sneakers on her feet, she leaned lightly against the sports car.
The morning sunlight shone on her face, making her fair and delicate features look even more youthful and pretty.
This left Xu Jingming, who was used to Ling Shuang's classical, elegant attire, somewhat surprised.
"Your training intensity is that high? How come you look a little dazed?"
Ling Shuang took off her sunglasses, revealing the tear mole at the corner of her eye, and said in surprise.
"No, I was just amazed by your casual outfit, Teacher Ling."
Xu Jingming grinned.
Judging by her looks and figure, Ling Shuang didn't look like someone in her thirties at all.
She looked about the same as a woman in her twenties, only with a touch more mature charm.
"Smooth talker. Get in the car — we'll go to the mall first to buy gifts."
Ling Shuang rolled her eyes at Xu Jingming, exasperated.
"Teacher Ling, why aren't you using your spatial ability this time?"
Xu Jingming, seated in the passenger seat, asked in confusion.
"I use my spatial ability a lot. Occasionally I want to use ordinary means of getting around."
Accompanied by the low rumble of the engine, under Ling Shuang's control, the entire sports car roared and shot off.
"Teacher Ling, are you sure this counts as an ordinary means of getting around?"
Xu Jingming watched the dashboard, which had quickly hit 300 kilometers per hour after leaving the Lei Ting Wu Guan area.
He couldn't help but twitch his eyelid.
Although ability users had much faster reaction speeds than ordinary people and could easily dodge other vehicles,
this was a bustling downtown area, and traffic jams were very common.
At that speed, they would definitely crash into other vehicles.
Although with their powerful physiques they wouldn't be hurt, the other vehicles would be in trouble.
"Relax, no problem."
Boom!!
With Ling Shuang's crisp, melodious voice, the sports car's speed surged to 400 kilometers per hour!
The scenery on both sides of the road flashed by rapidly, and pedestrians on either side stared in astonishment at this clearly speeding supercar.
The wind churned up by the sports car even lifted the short skirts of several girls by the roadside.
A glimpse of what lay beneath.
"Teacher Ling, I think we should slow down."
Seeing the increasing number of vehicles ahead, Xu Jingming couldn't help but warn her.
He had killed many people, but that didn't mean he enjoyed killing the innocent.
"Don't worry, it's fine!"
On Ling Shuang's fair, delicate face, a rare hint of excitement appeared.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!...
The red sports car showed no sign of slowing, as if it existed in a different space from the other vehicles.
It simply pierced straight through them!
"Spatial ability?" Xu Jingming finally realized.
Ling Shuang's spatial ability could transfer objects into another dimension.
Ordinary cultivators couldn't even touch it.
He had seen this ability many times before.
"That's right. Now you're not worried anymore, right?"
With her foot on the accelerator, Ling Shuang drove the red sports car at 400 kilometers per hour through the city streets.
Along the way, it drew the attention of traffic police, but after sensing Ling Shuang's formidable aura, they deliberately ignored it.
In Moben, high-level cultivators hold kill licenses; killing a few people is no big deal.
Not to mention Ling Shuang was merely speeding, and hadn't affected anyone else at all.
Thus, the mall that normally required an hour's drive.
Ling Shuang reached it in less than ten minutes.
After arriving at the mall, Ling Shuang and Xu Jingming got out of the car.
The AI-equipped red sports car then automatically headed toward the parking lot.
"How was the speed? Pretty good, right?"
Ling Shuang asked Xu Jingming with a hint of lingering delight, her tone slightly proud.
"Definitely fast," Xu Jingming gave a thumbs-up.
Come to think of it, this was the first time he'd seen this other side of Ling Shuang.
"Let's go. First, pick out a gift."
Ling Shuang smiled, striding forward with her long legs, and Xu Jingming hurried to follow.
