Chapter 4

Hua Chen was somewhat surprised by Luo Bi's readiness. He was a second-level mid-stage innate Thunder Flame Warrior, with a strong A-grade gene. Not long ago, he had been appointed as the captain of the Fifth Combat Team of the Scorching Emperor Star. In every aspect, he was superior to Luo Bi, an ordinary person. Logically, Luo Bi should have strongly opposed the annulment of their engagement after hearing about it.

Hua Chen had long been prepared to deal with Luo Bi's纠缠 (entanglement), but he didn't expect the annulment to be so easy. A hint of doubt appeared in his eyes, but he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless of Luo Bi's intentions, it was good that the engagement could be smoothly annulled.

"Please return the storage ring I gave you," Hua Chen said, asking for the valuable item he had given away.

Luo Bi looked at Hua Chen as if she were seeing him for the first time, finding it unbelievable. She continued to chuckle, thinking to herself, "You propose to end the engagement and still want your storage ring back? Dream on!"

Luo Bi, who was good at pretending, feigned difficulty: "It's impossible to return it to you. Uh... about ten days ago, I went to the mining area to try my luck and left the storage ring there."

In the interstellar age, all energy comes from a special mineral called Bifei. Bifei is encased in hard rock and can be refined into energy for human survival as well as energy liquid needed by Thunder Flame Warriors, making it a very scarce resource.

Scorching Emperor Star is a marginal planet in the empire with medium-grade mineral resources. Because Bifei stones are scarce and expensive, many people go to abandoned mining areas that have been heavily mined, hoping to find leftover Bifei stones by luck. Luo Bi was one of them.

In her spare time from work, Luo Bi would visit the mining area from time to time. Occasionally, she would extract a few low-quality Bifei stones, which would sell for over a thousand interstellar coins a month. Compared to other ordinary people, this wasn't a lot, but it wasn't insignificant either. Her luck was slightly above average, and she controlled it well. No one noticed that she had already awakened her mental power, and no one would think that someone would hide their awakening and not want to become a prestigious Conductor.

The mining area was vast, and if something like a ring fell there, it would be impossible to find.

Luo Bi used this excuse because she didn't want to return it. Unless she was crazy, she wouldn't do so.

Luo Bi stopped twirling the teacup by its handle and instead used her index finger to play with it, enjoying herself. She had no intention of drinking the tea today. Now that she had been jilted, she had no mood for tea.

"You... lost it." Hua Chen was slightly annoyed. The storage ring was a first-level storage device, with only three cubic meters of space, worth 300,000 interstellar coins. For him, it was a significant amount, but since the engagement was annulled, he didn't want to give it away for free. He didn't believe her when she said she lost it, but since Luo Bi insisted, what could he do? As an innate Thunder Flame Warrior, he couldn't use force against an ordinary woman!

Hua Chen's slight guilt was completely overshadowed by his anger: "That's 300,000 interstellar coins. Didn't you look for it?"

"I looked, but I couldn't find it." Luo Bi lied with a straight face, determined not to return it.

"You... ." Hua Chen's eyes turned cold: "I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I don't want the storage ring anymore; consider it compensation for me proposing the annulment." With that, he gave Luo Bi a contemptuous look and walked away.

Because Hua Chen hadn't controlled his volume, he attracted the attention of people nearby, including a few familiar faces who were likely imperial soldiers.

As the curious gazes fell on her, Luo Bi, even though she was angry, felt somewhat uncomfortable. She slowly lifted the teacup lid to smell the tea, pretending not to notice.
