Chapter 385: Star Gold Framed and Imprisoned (33)
The hover car shuttles through the air, and its speed does not cause any noisy noise.
Xing Lu saw a huge floating city above the city center.
That's where the royal family lives, and the federal center is also above.
The carriage was silent, with only the sweet female voice reporting on the radio.
After arriving at the station, Xing Lu walked out of the station.
Standing on the spotless white streets and looking around this city full of futuristic technology, Xing Lu couldn't help but sigh at its beauty and holiness.
A round drone passed by Xing Lu. It was a small cleaning light ball that patrolled 24 hours a day and could absorb and decompose fallen dust particles.
Genetically edited green plants are planted on both sides of the road. They look nothing special during the day, but at night the leaves of the plants can convert the ultraviolet rays absorbed during the day into soft fluorescence, and the whole city looks like a river of stars.
Xing Lu unconsciously slowed down her pace.
She first went to a high-end hotel near the site to check in.
The hotel room is more than three times larger than the rental house rented by the original owner, and even the lighting is top-notch.
The sunlight shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the spotless white bed, and Xing Lu couldn't help but sigh that this was life.
No wonder everyone wants to come to the main star.
Xing Lu turned on the huge oval monitor opposite the bed, which was reporting the latest news.
Xing Lu lay on the soft bed, listening to the news and browsing her computer.
Morris had such a big incident, but not a single splash was leaked.
Xing Lu browsed through the news in major media outlets, all of which were about the prince and the Xing family.
The Crown Prince Zong Yu's case was overturned, and the real traitor was executed.
The emperor specially commended the Xing family for their contribution to overturning the verdict and even personally had a few words with Xing Xue, the daughter of the Xing family.
Everyone speculated that the Crown Princess might be Xing Xue.
Today happened to be the 99th birthday of the old man of the Xing family, so the Xing family held a grand birthday banquet.
It just so happened that Xing Lu was originally thinking about how to gather these people together, but this group of people had already dug a hole for themselves.
...
That night, Xing Lu appeared at the guest entrance wearing a bright red strapless dress and bright red lipstick.
"Miss, the banquet has already started half an hour, and you—" The servant looked at the woman who suddenly appeared in front of him with a puzzled look.
Xing Lu took out the prince's interstellar pass from her handbag, tore off the signal blocker on it, and showed it to the reception attendant.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very busy with official duties, so he asked me to come here on his behalf to wish Old Master Xing a long and healthy life." Xing Lu raised her standard smile. "This is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's interstellar pass."
The attendant took out an instrument to scan, and it turned out to be the Crown Prince's belongings.
This is the prince's status symbol.
Even if he comes in person, he doesn't even need to show an invitation.
The attendant quickly bowed and extended his hand: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your honor. Please come in, I will report to the master now-"
He was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"No, I'll go myself."
Xing Lu smiled and put the pass back into her handbag. After passing through a security gate, she walked gracefully into this ancient oriental manor.
...
Crown Prince Zong Yu, who had just jumped from Samuel Star to the main star space station, was looking through the documents sent by the commander-in-chief in the office of the spaceship.
The adjutant then knocked on the office door.
"Your Highness, the signal tracking source has appeared in the A-8 area of the main star."
Zong Yu raised his head from the large desk.
"The specific location is at the Xing family manor." said the adjutant.
Xing family......
The adjutant said, "It's the old man's birthday today, and the Xing family manor is hosting a banquet. The invitation has been sent to your email."
Zong Yu looked down at another document.
That is Xing Lu's complete information.
She was clearly the daughter of the Xing family who should have lived a life of luxury, but she was abandoned by her profit-driven clansmen and exiled to such a harsh planet.
No wonder he has such a bad temper.
If he had a good temper, he would have been eaten to the bone.
"Don't act rashly, operate in secrecy," Zong Yu said. "Don't reveal a single word to the Xing family."
"Also, connect to the Xing family's surveillance network. I want to see the real-time footage."
The adjutant nodded and quickly went out to arrange the work on land.
The prince's subordinates were very efficient. Before long, the virtual screen projected on the prince's desk showed the image of the Xing family manor.
-
Two armed security guards stood on either side of the banquet hall's entrance, and there were two patrol teams walking in the maze-like front hall garden.
One of the leaders, who was dressed in a black uniform, saw a woman in a red dress walking out of the garden.
The people behind him looked alert.
The other person was walking lightly, smiling, and was taking something out of her handbag.
"Ma'am, you—"
The shining blade is unsheathed.
No one reacted.
With a slash of the sword, the leader fell to the ground before he could finish his words.
Before blood spurted out of his throat, the second knife had already pierced the heart of the person behind him.
The small cleaning light ball flew over quickly, trying to absorb the splattered blood, but was hit by a laser cannon the next second, sparks scattered and it fell to the ground.
"Be alert--" The terrified man had just opened his mouth when a sharp blade pierced his neck.
Laser cannons shot out in all directions like beams of light, and the scene flickered with light and shadow, like a bunch of fireworks.
"What's going on! My ability isn't...ah——"
The red skirt swallowed up the splattered blood, and its color became brighter.
A minute later, Xing Lu walked up the stairs, stepping on corpses and blood.
She wiped away the blood from her nose without a care.
Someone tried to suppress her with mental power, and it took some effort to resist the pressure of the mental power.
But Xing Lu vaguely felt that her mental power level seemed to be expanding upwards.
Does this mean that a person’s mental strength is not fixed from childhood to old age?
Xing Lu tidied up her hair that had just been scattered during the fight, then pushed open the door of the banquet hall with a smile.
At this moment, in the banquet hall, the guests were dressed in high-end dresses, walking on the glittering floor, holding crystal glasses of time and space champagne, talking and laughing.
Everyone clinked glasses in a harmonious atmosphere.
Amid the sound of soothing music, the door was kicked open.
The loud noise attracted everyone's attention and everyone looked towards the door.
A woman in a red dress walked slowly into the banquet hall, accompanied by the sound of piano music and the crisp sound of high heels.
Everyone first saw the woman's black hair, snow-white skin, and dark pupils.
She was tall, with a curvy figure, and her red dress was bright and eye-catching under the light, as if it were dyed with blood.
At the second glance, everyone saw a blade of light in her hand.
Blood continued to flow down, gathering at the tip of the knife and dripping all the way.
Outside the open door, blood and corpses piled up together, like the notes of a death song.
In the silence, the woman smiled slightly:
"Everyone, the debt collectors are here."
