Chapter 135 Frivolous?

Huidu-brand tranquilizing incense can be found almost everywhere throughout the Huidu Dynasty, and its reach even extends across a major portion of the Yuanlan Empire.

In the Huidu Dynasty, out of every ten boxes of tranquilizing incense, nine are of the Huidu brand. Because it was registered earliest and carries such an official-sounding name, this brand of incense has essentially functioned as the official tranquilizing incense of the Huidu Dynasty ever since its inception. Through the unremitting and arduous efforts of the Huidu Tobacco Company, the distribution rights for one planet after another in the other dynasties of the Yuanlan Empire have also been successfully secured.

Nowadays, whenever a citizen of the Huidu Dynasty finds themselves wandering in a distant land and catches sight of someone pulling out a stick of Huidu-brand tranquilizing incense, a profound sense of familiarity washes over them. Whether they need to ask for directions, seek assistance, or even consult someone on relatively private cultivation insights, simply offering a stick of Huidu-brand tranquilizing incense alters the outcome entirely.

As the heir to a corporate empire of cosmic-state magnitude, Veline would be showered with flattery by numerous individuals harboring ulterior motives, even if her appearance were as ugly as a humanoid swinebeast. Not only is she far from ugly, however, but her looks are exceptionally striking, surpassing even those of certain celebrities.

Who could have ever imagined that the esteemed young miss of the Huidu Tobacco Company would conceal her identity and secretly work as an ordinary cultivation auxiliary instructor in the relatively underdeveloped District 100 of Huidu Star?

"Hmph! To escape you swarming bees and buzzing butterflies, this young lady even hid all the way out here, and yet you still refuse to let me go?! It seems I must teach you all a thorough lesson this time!" Inside the cultivation hall, Veline walked toward the lounge with a countenance full of vexation, a wicked curve playing at the corner of her lips.

She believed that, with her advanced Nebula-grade strength, not a single one of those all-show-and-no-substance poseurs could withstand even a single punch from her!

Who would ever suspect that the dignified young miss of the Huidu Tobacco Company was actually a cultivation prodigy who had broken through to the advanced Nebula-grade at the tender age of twenty-two?

"Ah! Jerks!" Veline stared at the surveillance footage projected by the smart computer, her pretty face flushed red with anger, her fists clenched so tightly that her fingertips had turned somewhat pale.

Golden Sage Begonia, Six-Leafed Sword Orchid, Crane-Bend Vine, Othershore Lotus...

Jerks! Detestable jerks!

The exotic flowers and rare plants that she had painstakingly collected over such a long period, tenderly cared for day in and day out, and treasured as precious gems had all been destroyed by those two obnoxious bastards!

Dammit! That younger jerk actually stepped right on her most beloved Golden Sage Begonia and snapped it in two!

And you're still stepping on it?!

You even ground it down with your heel?!

Veline gazed at the projected surveillance footage before her, listening to their shameless dialogue, and her fury ignited.

You still want to run away?!

Are your brains fried? The surveillance videos cover every angle with complete three-dimensional imaging—where do you think you're running to?!

So what if it's just a few Yuanlan coins?! This young lady's collection cannot be measured by your paltry pocket change!

If we are talking about wealth, this young lady could crush you to death with sheer money!

Just wait! If I don't give you a lesson you'll remember for a lifetime, you really won't know the fierce temper of this young lady!

Shortly after, the little kids at the cultivation hall watched as Teacher Xiaolin, usually so gentle, stormed out through the doors of the hall. Without even looking back, she boarded an anti-gravity force-car, hovered more than two meters above the ground, and sped off into the distance. Stunned, the students halted their cultivation practices one after another and exchanged bewildered glances...

Consumed by burning rage, Veline threaded her way through the bustling traffic along the route, driving at top speed toward her home. If the traffic laws of Huidu Star hadn't strictly stipulated that, apart from the city defense forces, all cultivators below cosmic grade were prohibited from flying through the air on their own, she would have loved to ditch the anti-gravity car right then and there, descend directly from the heavens, unleash her cosmic stellar power, and blast those two bastards into oblivion!

...

"Bai, you have to admit, this house actually looks quite sci-fi. What kind of material is this ground built from? It can even repair itself!" Blue Sky was currently standing in the courtyard, looking around and critiquing the architectural style of Huidu Star, when he suddenly heard a mechanical roar. Moments later, he stood dumbfounded as a young woman of pleasant appearance drove a strange-looking small machine down from a height of over two meters right in front of him. Pouring out a stream of fluent Huidu Star local dialect, she let loose a furious barrage of shouts at him.

Although he could not understand a single word she was saying, Blue Sky was certain that these were by no means pleasant words...

After translation by Bai, he learned that this beautiful woman was actually the owner of the premises. A look of apology immediately surfaced on his face, and he said in his standard universal cosmic language, "Look here, beautiful, I'm truly sorry, we didn't mean to—uh?!"

Before he could finish his sentence, the young woman opposite him cut him off with direct action. Clenching her small fist tightly, enveloped in a layer of cosmic stellar power, she threw a punch straight at his chest without another word!

Upon seeing this, Blue Sky's expression instantly turned cold, irritation flaring within his heart. This alien woman was simply too unreasonable! Granted, they had damaged her courtyard, but they were just some broken flowers and grass—was there any need to resort to fists right off the bat? Moreover, she had even coated her attack in Nebula-grade cosmic stellar power!

Had that blow truly landed solidly, even though his body wouldn't sustain injury, a wave of pain would have been unavoidable.

Amidst his annoyance, thinking he ought to teach her a small lesson, Blue Sky projected his spiritual power instantly, condensing it into a fist imprint that collided head-on with Veline's punch.

"Boom!"

A muffled impact rang out. Veline's lovely face changed abruptly as she felt as though her fist had struck the hardest alloy imaginable. Her entire body was sent flying backward by the ferocious force unleashed by her opponent, only coming to a halt after crashing into a wall four or five meters away. She stared in astonishment at Blue Sky, who hadn't even furrowed a brow, a lingering trace of fear flashing across her face.

Just now, under the sway of her churning emotions, she had unwittingly unleashed her full Nebula-grade strength. Fortunately, this person was immensely powerful; otherwise, that single strike might well have cost someone their life.

One had to realize that not every young person who appeared to be Blue Sky's age possessed formidable strength; the majority lingered around the Star-Glittering grade or even the 81st Energy-Gathering grade.

Of course, Blue Sky had also measured his strike with precision, intending only to cause her a brief spasm of pain without truly harming her, lest the situation become genuinely difficult to resolve.

According to Huidu Star law, trespassing alone was punishable by detention; if someone were actually injured, heaven knows what the consequences might be!

To his surprise, however, after taking the hit, the woman did not fly into a raging fury as he had anticipated. Instead, she said with lingering apprehension, "Good thing your strength isn't weak. Is this spiritual power? How can your spiritual power be so strong?"

This time, the young woman also spoke in the universal cosmic language, though her delivery was somewhat unpolished and lacked the standard precision of Blue Sky's speech.

"What? Surprised? If my strength hadn't been sufficient, that blow just now would have left me severely wounded. Is this how you Huidu Star people treat your guests?" Blue Sky's lingering anger had not yet dissipated, and his tone carried a sharp edge.

"Hmph! Guests? What kind of guests are you? Are there guests who go around wrecking other people's homes like this? Are there such frivolous guests? Beating you was letting you off lightly!" Veline had still harbored a shred of lingering fear moments ago, but seeing the hostile tone of her opponent, that fear vanished entirely, replaced once more by rising irritation.

"Frivolous?" A look of bewilderment instantly crossed Blue Sky's face. Huidu Star possessed such an advanced level of technology; could it be that they were extraordinarily conservative when it came to such matters?

Calling someone "beautiful" was considered frivolous?!
