Chapter 703 -659: Astonishing Trade Revenue_2

This duel had long been the talk of the town. If Lin Hao lost, he would become a servant to Han Xian’er; but if Han Xian’er lost, she would serve as a maid to Lin Hao.

The people of Luojing City had been debating this matter for several months, all worried for their Hidden Crown Prince.

Although the Hidden Crown Prince had extraordinary talent, he was merely of the Sixth Realm. If he lost, would they truly let their esteemed Hidden Crown Prince act as a servant or labor animal for Han Xian’er?

Yu Huaxuan was greatly looking forward to it. If Lin Hao lost, what would be the reaction of Luo Wangshu and his apprentice? And would Lin Hao really adhere to the wager?

“Just a few days from now.”

Cui Peipei stood with her hands behind her back, a cold sneer curling at the corners of her lips. “I have already planned to leave the Great Song in a few days, so according to the terms of the duel, the matter of the Divine Tablet should come to an end.”

The reason Han Xian’er hadn’t appeared was that she was staying at the inn, cultivating an Eight Realms Super Monarch Secret Sword.

Over the past two months, Han Xian’er, under Cui Peipei’s guidance, had been rigorously training in this sword technique, all in preparation for the decisive strike in the upcoming duel.

Cui Peipei believed that no matter how strong Lin Hao’s true combat prowess was, he couldn’t possibly be a match for Han Xian’er.

—Luo Wangshu had overestimated herself!

Yu Huaxuan laughed heartily upon hearing this. “Then I am very much looking forward to it. Oh, by the way, if I’m not mistaken, a perfect opportunity is just around the corner. In a few days, the Great Song will hold its port opening ceremony. During such an occasion, if your apprentice and Lin Hao settle their duel before the eyes of countless witnesses, wouldn’t that be delightful?”

Zong Xiushan, standing nearby, also appeared thoughtful. “That seems like a good idea.”

He was staying at the inn as well and knew precisely how formidable Han Xian’er’s Eight Realms Super Monarch Secret Sword was.

Cui Peipei realized the two were deliberately stirring things up, yet she couldn’t help but be moved.

Externally, however, she remained calm, snorting softly before continuing to fly forward. She intended to inspect the newly-built shops and buildings constructed by the Outer Heaven Demons, and perhaps engage in some interactions while she was at it.

At the Security Bureau headquarters, Xue Lingxue trudged towards the dock with a splitting headache.

She had just substituted for General “Thunder” at the Tianji Star Trade Surveillance Center, presiding over a work meeting focused on strengthening surveillance over major Star Ports and privately-operated dock zones.

Since the surveillance center had just been established, they were severely understaffed, requiring substantial effort and energy to coordinate personnel and organize tasks.

Additionally, the newly incorporated anti-smuggling fleet also needed connection and adjustment.

To put it simply, they aimed to consolidate power while discreetly infiltrating their agents.

The strategy was to gradually transfer those unwilling to live aboard ships out of the 201 Rapid Response Squadron, replacing them with personnel from the Security Bureau system, thereby progressively taking control of the fleet.

At present, they didn’t expect the anti-smuggling fleet to truly eliminate smuggling activities; as long as they could exert a certain level of deterrence, manage the areas around twelve satellites, and raise the costs for smugglers, it would suffice.

Her next task was to board her personal transport ship and meet with the flagship and Fleet Commander of the anti-smuggling fleet.

The Hidden Crown Prince of the Great Song had successfully sowed discord within the Longevity Association, and the “two peaches kill three scholars” strategy was already taking effect, causing intense internal strife within the Longevity Association.

Thus, there were matters Xue Lingxue needed to report to this individual.

However, just as Xue Lingxue was about to step into the dock zone, her heart suddenly tightened in alarm.

Her boss had treated her quite well, providing her with a complete set of armaments fifteen days ago. The upgrade included an SSS+++ grade implant, “Divine Senses Awareness,” granting Xue Lingxue a degree of mental surplus.

The immense sensing ability allowed her to instinctively retreat backward, and the two accompanying Dragon Slayer 8SS+++ units reacted simultaneously. Not only did they combine forces to blockade Xue Lingxue’s front with gunfire, but they also deployed two layers of impenetrable Force Field Shields.

Yet, a pair of red sword glows, one large and one small, pierced through the alloy doors and effortlessly shredded the immensely strong shield layers. The sword glows continued their fluid assault, slicing through the Dragon Slayer 8SS+++ units’ ammunition and forcibly severing their wrists.

As the crimson sword glow struck toward Xue Lingxue’s front, her mind went blank.

Her “Ice Thunder Emperor Dragon,” having just disengaged from its Sleeping Cabin, was too far away to intervene in time. Its sniper cannon could only fire from 160 meters away.

The two Emperor Rank Seventh Realm masters accompanying Xue Lingxue had just managed to react.

Am I going to die? Xue Lingxue thought, in the Security Bureau headquarters, slain by an assassin?

In that instant, Xue Lingxue saw a towering figure, two meters tall, appear in front of her.

—It was the Sixth Realm guardian code-named “1” that Lin Rui had arranged for her!

Xue Lingxue couldn’t quite understand Lin Rui’s reasoning. This guardian wasn’t particularly powerful, at merely a Sixth Realm Emperor Rank. Compared to her current strength and status, it could no longer provide sufficient protection.

In addition, if not for the fact that “1” possessed a Battle Dragon, Xue Lingxue would have doubted whether the being was even alive, as she felt no trace of life from it.

Yet Lin Rui, despite arranging two 7S combat teams for her security, still insisted that “1” stay by her side and specifically instructed Xue Lingxue to keep “1” as close to her as possible.

Although Xue Lingxue didn’t understand, she complied with Lin Rui’s orders. For some reason, she felt a faint sense of familiarity and closeness towards this icy, lifeless “1.”
