Chapter 862: Chapter 732: Three Days Apart

The four rookies are indeed resilient, having come from the Garbage Star. No sooner had they set foot off the starship, they were already exploring the city streets.

However, Qu Jianlei was quite vigilant and didn’t walk with them. He even reminded Bentley to conceal his aura.

To be honest, old Ben was a bit dazzled. Although he was over a century old, when had he ever seen such a spectacle?

Fortunately, he had decent self-control and forcibly suppressed his desires, accompanying Flower Scorpion instead.

Claire, on the other hand, was with Xiao Qin. The little girl was somewhat naive, but Xiao Qin, having grown up in Central City, had seen quite a bit of the world.

Unknowingly, it was already evening when the five of them hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Airbnb where Qu Jianlei had stayed last time.

The landlord still remembered Qu Jianlei. After collecting the rent, he didn’t even ask for their identities and left.

Claire clamored for the leader to cook. She had been longing for a meal ever since they couldn’t cook aboard the starship.

Qu Jianlei shook his head with a smile, ”Let’s wash up quickly and go out for a meal to experience the everyday life of normal society.”

The group quickly freshened up and headed outside to find a restaurant. The meal was not particularly high-end, just ordinary.

But Flower Scorpion felt deeply touched, ”To be able to eat so casually, in Central City... it would still require a high-end restaurant.”

Bentley glanced at Qu Jianlei, ”His property rental once housed such a high-end restaurant.”

Flower Scorpion nodded in agreement, ”I know, that Xiao... that person even pretended to be a chef once.”

Mentioning Xiao Moshan brought an immediate silence to the table.

Eventually, Claire broke the silence, ”Didn’t we say... there’s still late-night snacks to enjoy?”

With a truly fast metabolism, Flower Scorpion looked at her in surprise, ”You want to eat more?”

”The food here is just average,” Claire spoke frankly, ”but the atmosphere is quite peaceful.”

”Anyway, I feel it’s not as good as what the leader cooks. Let’s save some room for late-night snacks.”

Qu Jianlei chuckled, ”Before the late-night snacks, I’ll take you to a bar... it’s way better than the bars we know.”

The bars in the Gathering Area of the Garbage Star were filled with smoke and chaos, often erupting in violence.

Although the bars on the Celestial Handle Star also had occasional brawls, they were far superior to those of the Garbage Star.

As they were leaving, they passed by a private room, and Claire glanced inside with a slight frown.

”Alright!” Qu Jianlei patted her on the shoulder, sensing the girl’s emotional turbulence, ”You’ll get used to it.”

As they walked out the restaurant door, Claire murmured softly, ”So much leftover food could save so many people.”

The other three rookies pressed their lips together, saying nothing.

Old Ben and Xiao Qin were fine, both coming from Central City where they understood that some people live with such abundance — only the poor would finish every plate.

Flower Scorpion let out a cold snort, narrowing her eyes. She and Qu Jianlei came from the lowest level of the Gathering Area — the Hong District.

Thinking of the countless people who froze or starved to death each year, she was truly in a foul mood.

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, ”Some people are a waste of food just by being alive... but let’s have fun tonight first.”

The group initially planned to enjoy the bar and then try some late-night snacks, but unexpectedly, Xiao Qin and Claire got drunk at the bar.

Claire hadn’t drunk much before, and having just advanced to C-level, she mainly focused on combat skills and couldn’t expel the alcohol from her body.

As for Xiao Qin, she just wanted to get drunk, mumbling, ”Without you, how am I? I’m living an even more exciting life!”

Flower Scorpion was also slightly tipsy but could still take care of herself, seemingly able to switch to combat mode at any time.

Bentley and Qu Jianlei exchanged looks, ”Aren’t men supposed to be the ones who like drinking more?”

No matter what, with the two of them watching, the five of them still made it back to the Airbnb before midnight.

After getting out of the car, Bentley frowned slightly upon seeing a large SUV parked outside the Airbnb.

He could vaguely sense an A-level aura emanating from the vehicle, so he discreetly remained on guard.

Qu Jianlei raised an eyebrow in surprise, ”Why are you here?”

The SUV door opened, and a woman stepped out, radiating an A-level aura. It was none other than Xiang Xue.

She spoke with a grin, ”I’ve reached A-level. I heard from the landlord you’re back and came to show off a bit.”

She had stayed here for a while and had told the landlord to inform her if Qu Jianlei returned, which unexpectedly worked.

Upon hearing that they knew each other, Bentley immediately relaxed and turned to greet the three others.

Qu Jianlei nodded slightly, ”Congratulations. Aren’t you planning to explore elsewhere?”

”I was just about to leave when I heard you were here,” Xiang Xue scanned the others, ”Are these... your friends?”

”They are my comrades,” Qu Jianlei answered seriously, ”We came to the Celestial Handle Star for some fun and relaxation.”

Xiang Xue noticed there were three women among them, raising an eyebrow. But after sensing their aura, her eyes widened.

”Your comrades... are impressive, and there’s even a Dark Attribute among them?”

Although the opponents were just three B-levels and one C-level, three of them had mutated attributes, which truly surprised her.

”Come in and chat,” Qu Jianlei invited her into the yard, ”Want to drive the car in?”

Xiang Xue was really not the type to be overly polite, she drove the car straight into the yard, ”I was just thinking where to go next, and here you are.”

Bentley and Flower Scorpion went to greet the two, while the two of them sat in the living room chatting casually.

Xiang Xue really felt she was about to advance after separating last time.

Since Panda left, she simply went through official channels and applied to the Awakened Management Division.

Her records were documented officially, able to withstand scrutiny and met protection requirements, so she was assigned to the military region’s cultivation room.

Anyway, she wasn’t short of money, after a month of retreat, she successfully advanced to A-level.

She sincerely wanted to show off to a couple of friends, but unfortunately, on Celestial Handle Star, she had no one to show off to.

It’s not that there were no acquaintances here, but those acquaintances... either inconvenient or not worth showing off to.

So she spent another month or so stabilizing her realm, but even so, her aura was still not very stable.

”Congratulations,” Qu Jianlei said with a smile, casually pulling out two A-level crystals and lowering them over, ”Consider them my gift.”

”Thanks, but I don’t want them,” Xiang Xue waved her hand, stating bluntly, ”You weren’t even there at the time!”

”If I accepted your gift, wouldn’t I have to give you a gift for advancing to Supreme next?”

No way! Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly, my comrades are not even enough!

He put away the crystals and gave a thumbs up, ”You really are a clever one!”

”It’s mainly because I’m poor,” Xiang Xue answered candidly, ”I’ve been on Celestial Handle for half a year, why don’t I be your guide?”

Qu Jianlei blinked and couldn’t help asking, ”You don’t have anything serious to do?”

”What serious things should I do?” Xiang Xue looked at him perplexedly.

”I don’t worry about food and drink, nor am I short of money, and I’m not lacking in cultivation resources... just going around playing is fine.”

This answer was indeed quite extravagant, but it was the truth—she lacked nothing and had nothing she must do.

However, Qu Jianlei didn’t find anything wrong; both of them came from different backgrounds, bearing different responsibilities and duties.

”By the way, has the Divine Text Association continued to give you trouble?”

Just then, Bentley and Flower Scorpion had just settled the two drunkards and entered the living room.

The two were taken aback upon hearing, ”Divine Text Association?”

Xiang Xue glanced at them and nodded slightly—she was now A-level, able to have this attitude towards B-levels, which was already quite good.

Then she looked at Qu Jianlei again, ”The Divine Text Association hasn’t had the time to bother me lately, seems like something big happened over in Hope Star Realm.”

Flower Scorpion and Bentley exchanged a glance, while Qu Jianlei asked without showing any emotion, ”What big thing happened?”

”Apparently more than one Supreme died,” Xiang Xue replied carelessly, ”The Divine Text Association dispatched a lot of power over there.”

Qu Jianlei blinked and asked curiously, ”How many Supremes went?”

”I’m not interested in digging into these,” Xiang Xue waved her hand and answered blandly, ”Barely got rid of these troublesome guys.”

”Then you can get rid of me too,” Qu Jianlei said with a laugh, ”I’m a trouble magnet, tie yourself to me and nothing good will come of it.”

”We’re not the same,” Xiang Xue replied without a second thought, ”We’re comrades in adversity; your business is my business.”

Qu Jianlei saw his two comrades looking puzzled, so he smiled.

”Alright, enough with the riddles, this is Xiang Xue, who also received improved cultivation techniques.”

Bentley looked at her thoughtfully and nodded slightly, ”So you’re Xiang Xue.”

He had indeed heard Jian Lei mention this name, seemingly her family... was into tomb raiding?

Flower Scorpion truly hadn’t heard of this name; she nodded without showing emotion, ”If she’s the boss’s ally in adversity, then she’s one of us.”

To be honest, she didn’t believe in the words ”ally in adversity,” the boss explicitly said there are no trustworthy people outside.

”Hmm?” Xiang Xue’s eyebrow raised, her perception was sharp, she sensed these two B-levels were not very polite to her.

At the very least, absolutely not respectful enough!

She was also straightforward by nature, ”You both seem to have a bit of a rift with me, did I do something wrong?”

”No,” Bentley replied blandly, ”It’s just that you have a Supreme father, naturally not needing to do anything.”

”While we have a lot to do, battling life and death is common... we’re not the same type.”

He felt he had made himself clear—you are a Fugui flower, we are roadside grass, we don’t mix in the same circles.

You could even say, fundamentally not the same species, so opinions really are irrelevant.

To his surprise, Xiang Xue was not angry but pleased, ”Oh, so he actually told you guys about me?”
