Starforce Warriors-Chapter 322: Who The Hell Is This Chick?
Chapter 322: Who The Hell Is This Chick?
Li Xiaofei, stark naked and dressed in nothing but a tattered bath towel, stumbled out from the broken doorway, covered in dust. He was furious.
“Goddamn it!” Without any care for his image or reputation, the president cursed, “Which son of a bitch decided to mess with me right now?! I'm gonna kill him!”
There was dead silence. Even Clove seemed somewhat surprised by the sight of Li Xiaofei’s naked, muscular body barely covered by the bath towel. She was taken aback by the sheer primal masculinity emanating from him. The words she had prepared caught in her throat.
Meanwhile, this was the first time the Cloudy Sky Gang members had ever seen their boss in such a state. He looked utterly disheveled. But why did it seem a little amusing?
Realm of Traces?

Li Xiaofei’s heart skipped a beat as he finally pieced together what was happening. They had come for the troublesome fox. And they had arrived faster than expected.
The tall, blonde, blue-eyed woman in front of him was radiating an aura at the peak of the Five Spirits Realm.
A powerful opponent!
Li Xiaofei couldn’t help but shiver. Hu Yuer was still inside the room.
Does this count as getting caught in the act?
"Heh, Li Xiaofei?" Clove was actually rather pleased. "Who’s in the room behind you? Hand them over!"
What an unexpected windfall. Catching both Li Xiaofei and the Yinji Moon Fox in the same room would confirm their collusion and make things so much easier. It was like killing two birds with one stone, and it would save her from executing a series of complex plans. This was a perfect trap.
"None of your damn business," Li Xiaofei retorted, trying to sound tough despite his fear. "Has it suddenly become a crime under The Saints' Sayings for me to indulge in a bit of... private activity?"
"Stop wasting time," Clove sneered coldly. "Tell the woman inside to come out."
She gestured sharply.
Zzzzzz...
The barrels of the power armor’s guns began to spin as they charged up.
The Cloudy Sky Gang fighters, seeing their boss threatened, drew their swords and cocked their bows as they surrounded the members of the Realm of Traces. The air grew thick with tension.
A glint of icy resolve flashed through Clove’s eyes.
"How dare you disrespect an officer of the Inquisition?"
She was already harboring murderous intent.
Li Xiaofei raised his hand and said, "Stand down."
The Cloudy Sky Gang fighters retreated slowly.
Yang Cheng realized the gravity of the situation and knew this wasn’t the time to act rashly. Even though their intruders had barged in and harmed many of their own, these were officers of the Star Council. A direct conflict would only bring greater harm to the Cloudy Sky Gang. He worked hard to restrain his people as they swiftly withdrew.
Li Xiaofei, still wrapped in his bath towel, said, "Even if you’re officers of the Star Council, that doesn’t give you the right to kill and injure people at will on Great Xia’s soil. You owe me an explanation."
"An explanation?" Clove laughed mockingly. "Li Xiaofei, you clearly don’t understand your situation. You’re guilty of colluding with and harboring a star beast: the Yinji Moon Fox. That’s a crime of the highest order. The Cloudy Sky Gang’s obstruction of her capture only makes things worse. Today, you will face justice."
"I have no idea what you’re talking about," Li Xiaofei replied, his legs exposed to the cold wind and his hair fluttering. "The Yinji Moon Fox? Harboring a star beast? You're just making baseless accusations to frame me."
He was trying to buy time. If that sly fox had any sense, she'd be making her escape. She was an expert at slipping away. As long as she wasn’t caught in the act, there was still room to deny everything.
Clove, however, had no patience for stalling. She swiftly lunged forward as she headed straight into the room. But Li Xiaofei moved to intercept.
Boom!
The two clashed. Visible shockwaves rippled outward like tidal waves.
"How dare you?!" Clove roared in fury. "You actually dare to obstruct an investigation by a Realm of Traces inspector?"
Li Xiaofei wasn’t backing down. He sneered, "There’s no Yinji Moon Fox in there like you claim. This is a private residence. If you want to search it, show me a warrant."
"You clearly don’t know the meaning of the word death," Clove retorted coldly. "Obstructing an inspector? I’ll make sure you wish for death."
With that, she struck again.
The Yiggs Union’s combat techniques were different from the Great Xia’s ancient martial arts. They weren’t as sophisticated as the refined techniques of Great Xia’s martial lineage. Their style leaned more towards boxing, military combat, and free fighting.
However, what they lacked in finesse, they made up with their naturally robust physiques. The way they cultivated starforce qi was unique, as they tempered their bodies to extreme toughness. Even a seemingly simple strike from Clove carried a massive, destructive force.
Clove was a classic example of the Yiggs Union's martial arts. She was tall, her cultivation solid, and her physique formidable. Every punch she threw was wrapped in a golden aura as her strikes tore through the air like a torrential flood, obliterating everything in their path.
But unfortunately for her, she was facing Li Xiaofei. President Li’s physical body was monstrously strong, even by Great Xia's standards. He was a true anomaly among martial artists.
Calmly standing in place, he casually held his bath towel with one hand and used the other to effortlessly block Clove's heavy punches.
Clove felt a jolt of shock from the first clash. The rebounding force from the impact made her realize that she could barely withstand it. However Li Xiaofei’s face lit up with delight. He was pleasantly surprised to discover that after his recent dual cultivation session, his physical strength had taken a qualitative leap forward. The Yi Jin Jing, which had only seen slight progress before, now seemed on the verge of major success.
The heart moves, and strength follows. Contracting and releasing are done naturally, flowing out without conscious effort, like the rise of the tide or the thunder's roar.
Li Xiaofei finally understood the true meaning of those words. After a few more exchanges, the look of shock and anger on Clove's face only grew. She had seen all of Li Xiaofei’s intelligence reports and watched various combat videos of him.
As an inspector of the Realm of Traces, studying her opponent was her first priority. She believed she had completely analyzed this Great Xia prodigy, and knew his cultivation level inside out. But once she engaged him, she realized he was nothing like she had thought. If she wanted to take him down on her own, she would have to resort to power weapons.
Boom!
They collided again, their forms separating as shockwaves exploded between them. Clove’s emerald green eyes glinted with undisguised killing intent as her fingers hovered over her power weapon.
She said, "Since you’ve chosen death, I’ll grant it to you."
Damn it.
Li Xiaofei’s own killing intent started to surge.
This foreign woman is wielding her authority like a weapon and dares to act arrogantly on Great Xia’s soil... Might as well finish her off.
Both of them were ready to kill. The atmosphere became unbearably tense. An invisible pressure radiated from the two of them, spreading wildly.
Just then...
“Brother Xiaofei.”
A lazy and sultry voice that was so intoxicating that it seemed to seep into one's very soul floated out from the destroyed office.
What a heart-stirring voice. Even Clove, who was filled with murderous intent, couldn’t help but feel an inexplicable sense of pity and tenderness well up inside her.
God.
Clove fought the sudden urge to protect the owner of that voice. Li Xiaofei, on the other hand, shuddered violently. An indescribable tingling sensation erupted from the base of his spine, racing up his back and slamming into his brain as if it would blow his skull right off.
It didn’t stop there either. The power armor elites around them, the young man operating the tracking device, and even the members of the Cloudy Sky Gang watching from afar; everyone was frozen in place, their faces showing an expression of blissful longing like love-struck fools. It was as if their souls had been yanked from their bodies by the sheer force of that voice.
In the next moment, a stunning young woman, draped in a bath towel, stepped gracefully out of the shattered office like an angel descending from heaven. She wore black high heels and her bare legs as pale as snow as she moved with an almost otherworldly elegance.
The world fell silent. Every pair of eyes was glued to her figure.
Li Xiaofei’s face was a picture of disbelief.
Who the hell is this chick?
