"Zeus?" Leng Lingxi smiled, her smile was very beautiful. With her delicate features, burgundy short hair, and brown eyes, paired with her excellent figure, she could attract any man's attention.

"What a special name, I seem to have heard it before," Leng Lingxi said with a smile.

"Oh?" The young man looked at her with interest.

"Ever since someone called himself this name, many others have imitated him. However, just because you're called Zeus doesn't mean you are the real Zeus!"

"Hehe!" The young man laughed.

Leng Lingxi's eyes suddenly became sharp, "This space shuttle has thirty-two first-class seats, fifteen of which have been sold. I know the identities of the other fourteen people clearly. Can you tell me where you come from? Choosing to come to me just as I wake up from deep sleep seems like you have a purpose. Don't think that just because you look good, you can use your charm on me. Since you're here, you have no chance of escaping. However, I must admit, you are very clever. We have about twenty people on this trip, each in different cabins, and you managed to find me. That's quite astute. Unfortunately, you've met me. If you think we women are easy to bully, you are greatly mistaken!"

"Hehe!" The young man was still laughing.

Leng Lingxi leaned back in her chair, "You're laughing so happily, but I wonder how long you can keep it up. Introduce yourself, tell me who you are, and then surrender honestly. At least, I won't kill you; I'll hand you over to the interstellar police of Luoxing. If you want to avoid physical pain, just listen to me."

"Hehe!"

Leng Lingxi's smile suddenly disappeared, "Stop laughing! If you had known when to back off, I might have let you go. But you called yourself Zeus. If I don't beat you to the point where you can't take care of yourself, I won't be Leng!"

The young man looked at her with some surprise, "Why?"

Leng Lingxi undid her seatbelt, stood up, and looked at him coldly, "Because you dared to impersonate my idol and use his name!"

"Hehe!" The young man laughed again.

Leng Lingxi said disdainfully, "You're still laughing after I've seen through your identity?"

The young man smiled, "Do you know why I'm laughing?"

Leng Lingxi was taken aback, "Why?"

The young man said seriously, "In certain specific situations, 'hehe' means 'fool'!"

Leng Lingxi's eyes, which had been dazed, gradually became sharp, "You're asking for it, and I'll give it to you!"

"Hehe!"

Leng Lingxi hadn't been this angry in a long time. She had to admit that this man had completely ignited her anger!

A bone-chilling cold suddenly burst forth, and Leng Lingxi's eyes almost instantly turned white. She made a grabbing motion with her right hand, her fingers spread, and five streams of white energy immediately swept toward the young man. If you looked closely, you could see that these white streams were made up of countless ice fragments. The temperature in the first-class cabin dropped by more than ten degrees in an instant.

Ice seal! Ice prison!

Confidence comes from strength, and Leng Lingxi was very confident. She was sure that with her ice ability, she could instantly freeze and freeze even an elephant. She hated this man who called her a fool and decided to give him a lesson he would never forget.

Seeing that hateful smile about to be frozen, Leng Lingxi felt a great sense of relief. At this point, he had no chance of dodging or defending! It was impossible to bring any weapons on the space shuttle.

Just as she was feeling smug, her beautiful brown eyes suddenly widened, filled with disbelief. Because the man, the one who called himself Zeus, suddenly shattered!

Yes, shattered.

His body shattered into countless fine blue-purple electric sparks just before her ice ability hit him, breaking through the ice seal and passing by Leng Lingxi.

How is this possible? No!

Realizing something was wrong, Leng Lingxi's body began to tremble uncontrollably and she collapsed. A long, strong hand was pressing on her shoulder, surrounded by electric sparks.

The shattered young man stood behind her, letting Leng Lingxi collapse into his arms.

Leng Lingxi's eyes widened, her mind blank. Did I lose? Did I lose so quickly? I didn't even see how he did it.

No, this can't be!

As an ice ability user with a sixth-level genetic talent, a guard for the Luoxing Tianyu Auction House, a genius mech pilot, and the youngest king-level mech pilot in the Northern Alliance, how could I lose?

At the age of three, I awakened my ice ability and was rated as a sixth-level genetic talent, a genius among geniuses. At eight, I piloted a mech for the first time. At twelve, I was admitted to the mech academy as an exception. At fifteen, I became the sixteenth youngest third-level mech pilot on Luoxing. At seventeen, I was a second-level mech pilot. At eighteen, a first-level mech pilot. At nineteen, a special-level mech pilot. At twenty-one, I am already a king-level mech pilot.

How could I lose?

Leng Lingxi screamed in her mind, but she couldn't say a word. A faint, top-tier Giorgio Armani Men's Three Crown light fragrance wafted from behind, not strong but memorable, with notes of Somali frankincense and Saffron.

"You're too young and too inexperienced," the young man's voice echoed in her ear, and his long fingers landed on the zipper of her sportswear.

He gently pulled it down, and the cold air made Leng Lingxi's skin shiver.

Under the sportswear, besides a deep blue lace bra, there was also...

"I didn't mean to offend, but since you hid the item in your cleavage, I can only say sorry," the young man's voice sounded like that of a demon to Leng Lingxi.

A silver necklace was pulled out by his long fingers, and inevitably, he touched her skin, which turned red from the shivering, like a peony flower was tattooed on it.

In her twenty-one years of life, this was the first time a man other than her family had touched her body, and it was...

A silver necklace with a pale golden pendant, intricately crafted with a transparent silver diamond in the center.

The young man supported Leng Lingxi's body, gently placing her back in her seat and fastening her seatbelt. He touched the pendant a few times and then lightly pressed the gem.

The air slightly distorted, and a small light portal, about a foot in diameter, quietly opened in the air. Spatial technology!

Leng Lingxi struggled desperately, but her body wouldn't obey her brain.

Reaching into the light portal, the young man felt around and pulled out a small box.

The box was not large, made of black metal, and had three password locks. These were the most precise electronic password locks, requiring three thirty-two-digit passwords to be entered within one minute to open. If one was wrong, they had to be re-entered. If entered incorrectly three times, the internal self-destruct mechanism would activate.

The young man pinched the necklace again, and the light portal closed, the faint silver light from the necklace disappearing. He leaned close to Leng Lingxi, put the necklace back around her neck, and even placed the pendant outside her cleavage. He then zipped up her sportswear.

Leng Lingxi glared at him, wishing she could tear him apart.

"You won't get the password from me!" Leng Lingxi said coldly, realizing she had regained the ability to speak.

The young man shrugged helplessly, "You don't know it, so I didn't expect to get it from you."

"How do you know?" Leng Lingxi almost blurted out.

"Hehe!"

"Go to hell!" In the past twenty-one years, Leng Lingxi had never been so annoyed by a word!

The young man was not angry, and his eyes were filled with pity and regret, "I'm sorry, I deeply regret your situation. However, you are a woman of taste and discernment. Goodbye."

If you don't collect and vote, I'll just "hehe"!
