"Hey, sir, don't listen to her nonsense; that woman just spouts off any old thing."

"Hmm..." Li Xiang seemed to have a silent mental struggle and after a while, he lightly nodded as if he had understood.

"Sir, have you decided to take our shuttle?"

He nodded, then shook his head. Li Xiang ultimately decided to board the beautiful Bellis's shuttle.

"Sir, our rates are the cheapest in all of One Mango Star. If you think it's not fair, we can negotiate further. Wouldn't you consider it?"

"Price is not the problem, that shuttle has a beautiful woman." Li Xiang pointed to the large passenger shuttle where Bellis had disappeared.

"We also have beautiful women here." The man who was speaking suddenly hinted to his companions behind him, thinking in his heart 'what the hell does this mean, are you here for a holiday or to watch the beautiful women? Shit, wait till we get to the place, I'll kill this fool.'

In a short while, a dark-skinned woman, dressed glamorously, then came out of the small shuttle. The wilderness in her demeanor frightened Li Xiang so much that he took several steps back: "This... this is not a beauty, this is a warrior!"

The glamorous woman was taken aback, 'damit, how did I become a female warrior? At least, despite my dark skin, I am not bad looking.'

At his words, the man's face also changed obviously, clearly feeling ridiculed. He threatened with a cold voice: "Young man, do I really need to invite you up?" It seemed that this coward may yield under the pressure.

Li Xiang shivered, "Really... really?"

The man didn't answer him, just sneered coldly.

Li Xiang, being timid as a mouse, got the fright of his life. At first, he was staring at the man in a daze. Shortly after, he didn't know what got into him, but he began screaming for help, shouting that someone wanted to kidnap him.

The man broke into a cold sweat as soon as he heard the noise. Their reputation was bad enough already; if the authorities of One Mango Star got wind of this, they'd be for the chop. He quickly moved to cover Li Xiang's mouth, vowing to teach the pig-like fool what cruelty really is.

However, he ended up grabbing thin air. Just as he lunged forward, Li Xiang squatted down hugging his head. The man's body went straight over Li Xiang's head. Whether it was not enough momentum, or simply coincidence, as he landed, Li Xiang instantly soared back up, hitting the man's crotch with his head. The man immediately fell to the ground writhing in pain, clutching his crotch.

"You... you fucking don't go..." The man rolled around on the ground, gritting out his words.

Realizing he had got himself into a pickle, Li Xiang was initially frozen on the spot, seemingly frightened. He only started to dash away when a few people from afar sensed something was wrong and started towards him. It must be said that Li Xiang, though he seemed weak, could run pretty fast when he had to, even faster than a dog. It was only when he had almost reached Bellis's shuttle that the people pursuing him finally caught up.

"Boy, if you don't want to die, come back with us immediately."

At this point, an old man emerged from the interior of Bellis's shuttle: "One-eyed, I don't care who this person is, but please keep the peace on my shuttle."

"Mr. Bell, we just want this person."

The old man glanced at Li Xiang and said: "That's your business, it's his freedom to come and go as he pleases." After that, he turned and left. The bored Bellis was actually attracted by their conversation.

"So, boy, I'm just asking if you'll come down or not." The man chasing him had a threatening look on his face, as if if Li Xiang didn't agree, the next second he would forcefully drag him down and tear him to pieces.

"No... I... I won't go."

"Boy, we're giving you another chance to rethink your answer." As he spoke, one of them's fist was clenched so tightly that the bones clicked ominously.

Bellis, her brows furrowed, emerged from the shuttle and spoke: "If he doesn't want to go, how can you forcefully take him."

"Hehe, sweetheart, where did that come from?" The one speaking was Li Xiang. The cowardliness from before disappeared from his face as he appeased her with a smile: "Don't worry, sweetheart, I'll take care of your business. I was just messing around with these idiots. Isn't it good for you to just watch the play on the side, why would you stop it?"

Bellis nearly laughed out loud. This guy seemed so silly, who would have thought he would be this cunning? His shocking about-face caught everyone off guard. Initially, the group who had chased after him thought that this kid was definitely going to suffer. But as the conversation went on, they realized that they had been played by a fool. Wasn't this saying they were lower than a fool?

Was this really the case? No, Li Xiang was at the bottom of the social ladder, backed into a corner and desperate. But he was not a mindless pig. If someone forcefully invited you onto a ship and you still couldn't guess what it meant, then you were living in vain.

Before leaving, Li Xiang left them with a middle finger. There was no time for a handshake. He then made a beeline for Bellis's shuttle, preparing to pay for a ticket. As he entered, he was stunned to see that the expressions of the passengers inside were also not very friendly. Many of the nearby passengers had seen what had happened. Some overtly tough guys even gestured at him as if ready for a fight, scaring Li Xiang into a stumble, almost falling over.

Fortunately, Li Xiang's fall was stopped by a slender finger. It belonged to a girl who was reading a book, and despite her delicate appearance, it couldn't be denied that she was a highly skilled individual. In fact, everyone had witnessed this incredible scene. One person casually resisting a grown man with the gentle ease of a single finger, her strength was definitely of a third rank at least.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes ..." Li Xiang kept muttering 'yes' but couldn't make any sense of it, while his eyes darted here and there over the girl's chest.

"You can leave now, don't disturb my reading."

Li Xiang managed to apologize after holding it in for a long time.

The girl gently closed her eyes and ignored him. It seemed that by conversing with a man like him, she was lowering her own value. However, compared to the other passengers around, she seemed a lot more approachable.

And so, Li Xiang began his journey through the stars on the Infinite Power, without hiding anything...

The journey through the stars is a long and boring process, but that's only if you're alone. If you're surrounded by a group of beasts, chances are you won't feel so good. Li Xiang was currently feeling an unprecedented pressure, or at least, that's how he looked in other people's eyes.

The only people willing to talk to Li Xiang now were the girl who always seemed to be reading something, a few old men, and a couple of children. Although most of the time the girl paid no attention to what he was saying, but occasionally when her mood was good, she would respond with a few words. Her responses were generally very concise, but they always hit the nail on the head. One time, when Li Xiang was being bullied again, she had spoken a single phrase that put an end to it. It had moved Li Xiang so much, he was ready to offer himself to her.

The status of this shuttle's passengers determined Li Xiang's own status. All of them were either smugglers, illegal immigrants, or criminals who had committed some offence. No wonder he was the only easy target among them.
