While Asta was staring blankly at the photo, she suddenly noticed her phone had lost connection.
After checking, she found that sothing had gone wrong with the space station's system.
It might have been an aftereffect of the last intrusion.
Asta didn't think much of it and began organizing personnel to conduct a full system overhaul of the space station.
Far away on the Luofu, Levi clapped his hands. "Done!"
He waved away the virtual screen in front of him and carried Qingque over his shoulder as he walked briskly toward ho.
Originally, he had planned to hide on another Xianzhou ship for a while. After all, if Asta recognized him, then Herta would definitely know his identity too.
Plus, he had spoken with Jing Yuan before. With Herta's capabilities, she could absolutely find out where he lived.
However...
Just now, through a backdoor he had left behind, he discovered Asta still hadn't recognized him.
So he decisively cut off the space station's systems and then used so small tricks to clean out a wave of data inside it.
And he pinned the bla for all of it on Silver Wolf.
Silver Wolf already didn't get along with Herta. Invading and damaging Herta Space Station was completely reasonable for her.
It just ant poor Silver Wolf had another bla pinned on her for no reason.
But she had already committed plenty of incidents. One more wouldn't matter.
And if it made Herta suffer a loss, she might even be happy about it.

Everyone chatted idly in the group.
During this ti, Kiana never appeared. No one knew what she was doing.
Lumine caught up with Paimon, who had been hurrying along, only to find her lying on top of the backpack with her eyes closed, looking peaceful.
She picked her up and shook her twice. After realizing she was just asleep, she stuffed her back into the backpack and continued on.
———
On the Astral Express, Stelle curled up in her room, yawning while looking at the chat group.
[Stelle: I can't hold on anymore.]
She had stayed up cultivating all night. She originally wanted to take a nap at noon, but then sothing happened on Levi's side.
Which made it impossible for her to nap.
[Stelle: I'm going to rest first, you guys keep chatting…]
"Ha~ If I don't sleep now, I might just ascend!"
[Elysia: I've got things to do too, logging off first. While I'm gone, rember to miss .]
Even though she said she was leaving, Elysia actually stayed in the group for a while before going offline.
———
After so ti, Levi also arrived ho.
As soon as he pushed open the door, the first thing he saw was Tingyun's gaze.
"Is it already resolved?"
Tingyun's eyes looked him up and down. Seeing there were no traces of battle on him, her expression beca sowhat puzzled.
The commotion from the Alchemy Commission earlier had been so big that she could see it clearly even from the Exalting Sanctum.
'If Levi had fought Phantylia, how could his clothes still be this neat?'
'Could it have been sothing else…'
"No need to guess. That was the sound of fighting Phantylia."
He tossed Qingque onto the sofa and stretched his arms to loosen his body.
Under her gaze, he revealed a disdainful expression and said in an extrely show-off tone, "A Lord Ravager is nothing special."
Tingyun: "..."
Looking at Tingyun in front of him, Levi suddenly thought of sothing and rubbed his chin as he slowly said, "Look, I saved you again and even helped deal with the one who attacked you. Shouldn't you show a little appreciation?"
Tingyun froze, not expecting him to suddenly say that.
But he had indeed helped her a lot. Just the fact that he eliminated Phantylia who had impersonated her ant she should show her gratitude.
But right now she had no money on her, and her jade communicator had been lost in space. She could only wait until she returned ho to prepare a proper thank-you gift.
'A thank-you gift?'
'Like I'd care about that!'
Levi put on a serious face.
———
[A Mont Later]
"Benef…actor?"
"Right! Say it more naturally!"
"Benefactor…"
"Drag the sound out a bit!"
"Benefactor~"
"Perfect!"
Seeing Levi looking so excited, Tingyun looked at him like she was looking at a pervert.
Although based on what he had done, calling him "benefactor" was normal.
But actively asking her to call him that no matter how she looked at it felt like perverted behavior.
Noticing Tingyun's gaze, Levi cleared his throat and restrained so of the excitent on his face.
"For now Phantylia has been dealt with. If you want to leave, you can go."
Tingyun blinked. "Then this little lady will take her leave first. I'll co another day to properly thank you for saving , benefactor."
After saying that, she prepared to leave and go to the Sky-Faring Commission to explain the situation to Yukong.
"Don't tell anyone I was the one who saved you."
'Hiding his identity…'
Usually hiding one's identity ant not wanting trouble from one's actions.
But with his strength, soone who could wrestle with a Lord Ravager, was that really necessary?
Not just the Luofu, even other Xianzhou ships wouldn't dare casually trouble him.
Tingyun understood that point.
Watching her departing figure, Levi prepared to physically wake Qingque when suddenly a voice sounded beside his ear.
"Why is she in your house?"
"!!!"
Levi felt like his heart almost stopped. Looking at Qingque, who had sohow woken up, he clutched his chest with a pained expression.
"Kiana didn't kick to death, but you almost scared to death!"
"If you don't do anything guilty, you won't fear ghosts knocking. You were scared because you've done sothing guilty!"
Qingque tidied her hair and said seriously, "Explain honestly. Why is she in your house!"
"I picked her up in space…"
"Ow! I really did pick her up in space!"
"Hey hey hey! Don't get so close!"
As Levi stepped back, he lost his footing and fell backward. Qingque, being too close, fell right on top of him.
The two stared at each other wide-eyed. After Qingque reacted, she imdiately stood up.
Her small face turned slightly red. Pretending to be calm like nothing happened, she cleared her throat.
"I see it's getting late. What are we having for dinner?"
Levi didn't answer. He touched his mouth and silently walked into the bathroom.
Qingque didn't know what he was going to do.
Soon, the sound of brushing teeth ca from the bathroom.
Along with Levi's displeased voice, "You damn well have bad breath!"
"Bullshit!", Qingque instantly exploded, her face turning even redder than before.
But this ti it wasn't from embarrassnt. It was from anger.
She paid great attention to personal hygiene. How could she possibly have bad breath?!
Hearing the brushing sounds, Qingque directly barged into the bathroom.
Levi's miserable screams imdiately followed.
"Ugh! Don't dig at my throat!"
'Just in ti to settle the score for him calling flat earlier.'
Levi's terrified voice rang out, "Wait! What are you doing!"
"I'm checking if you're injured."
"If you're checking then check, why are you pulling down my pants!"
"..."
"Wait! Don't!"
"..."

[Artisanship Commission]
Kafka, Silver Wolf, and Blade were discussing what to do next.
The Luofu script mainly revolved around the Astral Express, helping them obtain favor from the Xianzhou.
But now, their most important thod of gaining that favor, Phantylia, had appeared early and seed to have been defeated by soone.
Without Phantylia, that Lord Ravager, none of the events happening on the Luofu would be enough for the Astral Express to earn the Xianzhou alliance jade signal.
If they staged sothing themselves and played the villains, they would most likely be seen through by Jing Yuan.
If that happened, not only would the alliance fail, they might even beco enemies. That wouldn't be fun at all.
Kafka let out a helpless sigh. "We can only take it one step at a ti."
She could only hope that the Abundance faction, which hadn't shown itself during the chaos, might create a big disturbance on the Luofu for them.
But that hope was rather slim.
If they really had the ability to cause major disturbances, why had they stayed quiet for so many years, why only start to act after Phantylia appeared.
