The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 490: Furious to the Point of Vomiting Blood

Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Furious to the Point of Vomiting Blood

Nian Shutong, upon departing, started his pace normally but it quickened as he went.

"Lieutenant Xiong, it’s a pleasure to meet you."

"Ha Ha Ha! What a coincidence."

"Did you come here in a starship?"

"Yes!"

"I wonder if it’s possible for us to hitch a ride?"

"Sure! You’re not strangers to us."

Lieutenant Xiong wasn’t shooting in the dark; after all, Nian Shutong could be considered a partner of the Legion.

As the two of them kept talking and hadn’t yet reached where the starship was docked, a heart-wrenching, almost cannibalistic shout tore through the sky.

"Ah————"

Nian Shutong didn’t even pause his steps but instead suggested to Xiong Da, "How about we run?"

Xiong Da nodded in understanding and readily agreed, "Okay!"

"Everyone, on the mark, get set, run!"

With that command from Xiong Da, the Legion that followed ran in unison.

"One, two, one. One, two, one."

"One, two, three, four!"

Their orderly steps and energetic chants were quite inspiring.

Fu Yunhe, who’d been carrying Dou Dou, cast a somewhat nostalgic glance.

Nian Shutong and Xiong Da tacitly took the lead in the run, putting aside the anguished roars for now.

At this moment, the scholar with a pale face had bloodshot eyes, looking like a madman as he ran out of the mining site.

The people who had been waiting outside immediately surrounded him.

"How was it? How many Crystal Stones are inside?"

"There should be many, judging by the density of the energy in this Crystal Stone."

"That’s great! I didn’t expect we’d have Crystal Stones here, so there’s no need to go to the Insect Race."

"You don’t know, hundreds of years ago, interstellar space did have Crystal Stones, albeit few."

"Who cares about that! I’m more concerned about when we can start mining?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

"Yeah, yeah, when can we mine?"

"How will it be distributed?"

The people outside were talking over each other, not giving the scholar a chance to speak, and he also realized a problem—he couldn’t speak!

It was as if someone was strangling his throat, his voice box wheezing with each breath, yet he couldn’t make a sound.

At this point, his eyes were so red they seemed about to burst, and his pale face turned as red as a rabbit’s backside, with veins popping out and his chest heaving violently.

But to others, could this state look like he was simply too excited?

A huge mining site!

"Chi Family’s man, will you just speak? How are we going to distribute it?"

"Yeah, yeah, you have to let go of more this time. We’ve invested money too."

"How many Crystal Stones are actually inside? Let us take a look!"

"Exactly, it’s always you who get the first pick, and we get the leftovers."

"Things should change this time, right?"

There was another round of talking, and still, the scholar couldn’t say anything.

Inside the mining site, aside from the roar he let out when he saw the bare walls, he couldn’t make a single sound.

At this moment, the scholar wanted to clear the way and let the others inside to take a look.

But he was stuck right at the entrance, and what was worse, he couldn’t move at all now.

His legs were rigid as if glued to the spot, and even the hand he wanted to point inside the mine with couldn’t be moved.

The scholar’s heart had gone from rage to fear. Just who was this woman?

He doubted nothing, his current state was all that woman’s doing.

Now that he thought about it, it seemed like everything that had just happened was deliberately arranged.

They had eagerly come, lost face by forcing the sale of the mine, paid a steep price, and in the end, they bought an empty mine.

The scholar turned red with rage, and a surge of blood rose from his stomach, reaching his throat before he spat it out.

"Pfft—"

"What have I done to you?"

"Why are you throwing up on people?"

"Does the Chi Family want to monopolize the mining field again?"

"What are you doing? We didn’t touch you!"

"Don’t try to pin this on us!"

The people around, in a rare moment of unity, all thought the scholar’s vomiting blood was a tactic.

A strategy for the Chi Family to take over the mining field.

Most importantly, it was not as if they had never done such a thing.

When it came to the Chi Family, they really were desperate for profit, stopping at nothing, and there was not an ounce of trust in them.

In their eyes, the Chi Family was just a slightly higher status gang of scoundrels.

The chatter of the crowd ground the scholar’s teeth down to nubs, two of which he spat out as he cried out in agony.

Finally, a subordinate from the Chi Family stepped forward and noticed the unusual state of the scholar.

"Housekeeper Bai, are you alright?"

Are you alright?

The fire in Housekeeper Bai’s eyes as he glared at the person asking. What do you think? Did he look alright?

The questioner was uncertain, only stepping forward to offer a helping hand, trying to get some instruction to assist Housekeeper Bai.

Meanwhile, in the midst of the frantic attempt to communicate and the crowd that suspected everything to be a ruse by the Chi Family, Nian Shutong and Xiong Da had already reached the Legion’s starship.

The moment she saw the starship, Nian Shutong looked back, her tear mole at the corner of her eye becoming more enchanting, and the smile on her lips more intriguing.

"Please!"

Xiong Da’s invitation was met with a cooperative, gentle smile from Nian Shutong.

"Thanks a lot."

Her response carried several layers of gratitude that Xiong Da understood.

He led Nian Shutong and the others onto the starship, and with a hearty laugh, he said, "You must treat me to some good food."

"That’s a given, if you have the time, we’ll invite you over to our place alone, everything’s available."

Nian Shutong spoke very sincerely, and Xiong Da, who knew their status, naturally wouldn’t be stingy.

Xiong Da was indeed a bit tempted, but he still declined, "I would love to! But I can’t, I must report back."

Nian Shutong understood, a first officer of a legion couldn’t just up and leave, but she continued, "Whenever you’re free, we’ll always welcome you."

"Buddha Jumps Wall, Peking duck, barbecue, spicy hotpot, your choice."

The dishes Nian Shutong listed made Xiong Da salivate.

"Okay! Okay! Stop listing dishes, it’s too much of a test of willpower."

Their laughter at Xiong Da’s words marked their straightforward nature as they walked together into the starship’s interior.

Once they reached a place to rest, Xiong Da suggested the group take a break.

Nian Shutong refused, "We merely exercised our lips for a while, I’m truly not tired."

"If you don’t mind, take us, Xiao He, to the kitchen; we’ve brought some ingredients and want to cook a meal for everyone."

Xiong Da liked Nian Shutong’s straightforward and candid manner, how she did things efficiently in his style.

"Alright! Follow me."

Fu Yunhe stood up to follow, Dou Dou switched to holding Nian Shutong’s hand, and they both followed suit.

They reached the Legion’s kitchen, and Fu Yunhe scanned the ingredients; there was no shortage of seafood.

"Today let’s treat the Legion to a feast."
