Chapter 10

"Thank you." Luobi didn't feel surprised; after the communication was cut off, Wuyue quickly transferred 100,000 interstellar coins.

A cool night breeze blew past, and Luobi leaned back in a chair in the courtyard, lost in thought as she gazed at the vast night sky. It was now May in the year 8054 of the interstellar calendar. A year was no longer twelve months but eighteen months, divided into spring, summer, autumn, and winter. Winter was the longest, lasting six months, while spring, summer, and autumn each lasted four months.

It was early summer, and the temperature dropped slightly at night. Luo Hang called out from the window, "It's late, go to bed quickly."

"Got it." She responded impatiently and went back to her room.

Luobi tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Thinking about what happened during the day, she suddenly felt angry, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She was sometimes overly shrewd, but other times her reactions were slow. It took her a while to realize what was really bothering her.

She could accept Huachen breaking off their engagement for his own benefit, and even his infidelity wasn't entirely unforgivable. Men were like that, after all. At least he had the decency to propose the annulment of the engagement openly, rather than secretly making her feel uncomfortable. But the person Huachen had an affair with was none other than Luoyan, her cousin from her uncle's family. Just thinking about it made her furious.

She spent the whole night being angry. The next day, for the first time, Luobi didn't sleep in and sat by the window, seething. Huachen's affair with Luoyan was only because Luoyan had awakened her mental power and had the potential to become a stone gambler or an energy binder. So what if she was a binder? Who cared about that.

She had awakened too, not through a potion but naturally. She didn't even bother to mention it.

Some sounds came from outside, and Luobi looked out the window. A military hovercar drove in, and a man in a military uniform got out. Luobi glanced at the man, who was tall and handsome, a rare beauty.

This must be her current fiancé, Feng Ling.

As Luobi was thinking about Feng Ling, Guan Zhuting's voice came from outside the door: "Aibi, come out quickly, we have a guest."

Luobi said "Ah" and opened the door.

Guan Zhuting seemed a bit worried. Seeing Luobi come out slowly, she reminded her, "Deputy Feng is here, waiting for you downstairs!"

Downstairs, Luo Hang and Feng Ling were having a pleasant conversation, and Hu Ran, despite feeling unwell, was keeping them company. Luobi, who had just changed her fiancé, was still adjusting. After Hu Ran introduced them, Luobi sat quietly on the side.

Feng Ling, upon hearing that Hu Ran needed interstellar coins to buy spirit medicine, asked for Hu Ran's account and transferred one million coins.

Hu Ran looked at Luobi, who said to Feng Ling, "Thank you."

Feng Ling smiled, "No need to be so formal, we're family now."

Luobi didn't comment. This family change was really quick; it was Huachen yesterday and Feng Ling today.

Feng Ling didn't plan to stay long. After sitting for a while, he proposed to leave and gave Luobi his contact information before departing.

After seeing Feng Ling off, Luo Hang went directly to the main house. Luobi called out to Guan Zhuting, who was about to go inside: "Mom, can you accompany me to the stone gambling street?"

"Why are you going to the stone gambling street?" Guan Zhuting asked in surprise.

"The family needs interstellar coins. I'll try my luck; I've always had good luck, you know." They were still short by over a million interstellar coins. It was uncertain whether her father and Hu Ran could borrow any, or how much. Luobi decided to use her awakened mental power to earn some money at the stone gambling street.
