Sky-cracking Rider

Bang! Bang! Chen Fei's eyes popped wide open. The ground also trembled slightly. "The KDK-1 suctionsonic smart missile you requested, two units, are in detached combat mode and can be detonated remotely, with the detonator and key inside the packaging box. Please store them promptly after checking." The blonde maid, with her model-like slim figure, nonchalantly placed two metal packaging boxes, larger than herself, in front of Chen Fei. Her gaze fell on the leg ring of the Little Bird, clearly not deceived by the two outwardly identical leg rings. This was the "Dragon Slayer Missile" that he requested, capable of satisfying whether air-to-air, ground-to-ground, or stationary detonation. Once detonated, everything within a two-hundred-meter radius would turn to dust—even a Giant Dragon couldn't withstand such terrifying lethal power. The weapon mockingly called "Dragon Slayer Missile" had now officially earned its name. Chen Fei was checking the missiles inside the box when suddenly a voice came from behind him. "Are you the one sent by the Chen Family?" "You are..." Just as he was about to turn towards the voice, a tingling sensation came from his neck, where a bronze-colored longsword was now pointed at his major artery. "Are you here to kill Her Royal Highness the Princess?" Chen Fei still finished his sentence, but his tone grew increasingly calm, and the air gradually thickened with tension. Such a rash action of drawing a sword meant only one thing—enemy, definitely an enemy! Little Bird darted away in a flash, disappearing from Chen Fei's shoulder, and the next second, it appeared on the wall behind his adversary, its tiny pointed beak brewing a deadly glow. The little creature, personally hatched and raised by Chen Fei, was bonded with him through a connection of life, far more reliable than any Contract Scroll. Dog system: Ding... The killing intent was ready to burst. "Wait, she's not..." "Wait for what?" Bang!—Boom! Suddenly, a large hole broke in the wall, dust billowing everywhere. Beyond was a small garden, now a mess on one side. Chen Fei shook his hand, his light-flecked silver lines fading beneath his skin as he stood calmly in his place, undisturbed by the fact that his opponent was a woman. He landed a fierce punch, the Black Tiger Heart Extraction style, right on his opponent's D. It should be D, perhaps D+ "She's not the enemy!" The blonde maid's reminder came just a step too late. "Jiu!" A beam of emerald light shot out, swiftly tracing a human silhouette amidst the rising dust and building debris. Xiao Jiu's reaction was still a beat too slow. "Puff!" The woman, now lying face-up amidst the broken bricks and concrete, spat out a mouthful of blood, her complexion deathly pale and breath barely there, her left hand still clutching the bare hilt of her sword, the sharp bronze blade now gone. Clearly, the sudden punch had knocked about seventy to eighty percent of the life out of her. "You..." The blonde maid, seeing the young woman's ghastly condition, couldn't help but glare at Chen Fei and hurriedly pressed her headset to call for help. "She's not Her Royal Highness the Princess, is she?" After speaking, Chen Fei suddenly started to worry, realizing he'd reflexively reacted too quickly. If he had disfigured the protection target given by the mission, the Chen Family Gate would likely be annihilated on the spot by an enraged Silan royal family. He quickly pointed and said, "Xiao Jiu, use 'Light of Redemption,' cast it continuously!" Since she wasn't an enemy, it was time to make amends. "Jiu?" Little Bird looked puzzled. Weren't they enemies? One would expect them to endanger each other, so why save someone? Despite not understanding, it listened to Chen Fei's commands, bouncing over to the woman's side. After brewing for a moment, a Light Orb emitting soft white light formed and quickly sank into the woman's chest, wrapping her entire being in bright light. A few moments later, another "Light of Redemption" was cast. The Low-Rank Light-based Spells might not excel in offense, but their healing power was undeniable. The Second Rank Light Healing Spell had an immediate effect, gradually stabilizing the severely injured woman's breath. The blonde maid spoke annoyed, "This lady is the Shadow Guard of the Princess, grown up with the Princess since childhood. You're in big trouble now." "My sword!" She finally noticed the oddity in her hand but moved her eyelids slightly without being able to open them, evidently not yet fully conscious. "Heh! Anyone who draws a sword should be prepared to face the consequences," Chen Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she wasn't Her Royal Highness the Princess herself, he didn't care about anyone else. Anyone daring to point a sword at his neck deserved to die—an idiot must pay the price for their foolish actions. Whoosh whoosh whoosh… Slight sounds echoed around, and several figures appeared inside the small garden, some of which Chen Fei had not seen before. They were likely the security forces of the mansion. Some people had yet to appear. "What happened?" Housekeeper Mars hurried over, only to see a large hole in the wall and a young woman lying among the bricks, cement, and plant debris, he exclaimed in shock, "Lize Jina, what happened to her?" Little Bird was still beside her, releasing Light Healing Spells. "I thought she was an assassin!" Chen Fei spread his hands and did not feel he had done anything wrong. The saying always goes, those who draw swords must be prepared for the consequences, if you dare to point a sword at someone else, being killed on the spot is nothing to feel wronged about. "Fei Dani?" Mars did not intend to reproach Chen Fei, instead, he looked sternly at the blonde maid. He was not idle either, taking out a potion bottle, he unscrewed the cap and slowly fed the unconscious young woman. As rulers of a planet, the Royal Family of Cangqiong Star was never short of precious magic potions. The effect of the potion was in no way inferior to Little Bird's Light Healing Spells, as the young woman's pale, paper-like complexion gradually turned rosy, and her breathing became more stable and strong. The blonde maid turned pale, but still admitted honestly, "Just now, Lize Jina was pointing a sword at Chen Fei." She had not expected things to turn out this way. Her Royal Highness the Princess's Shadow Guard, Lize Jina, wanted to test Chen Fei, but encountered an unexpected backlash, nearly losing her life. "Foolish, why didn't you remind earlier, someone, take Fei Dani to the Solitary Confinement Room, wait for His Highness to return and then deal with her." Housekeeper Mars immediately understood what had happened. This was bullying the newcomer! The Royal Family found a bodyguard for Her Royal Highness, as a Shadow Guard who had grown up with her, Lize Jina was somewhat resentful and wanted to weigh Chen Fei's capabilities, but she underestimated his response. In the business of military contracting, who isn't walking on the edge of life and death; you either do not strike, but once you do, how can you possibly show mercy. The blonde maid did not defend herself, and was quietly taken away. "Mr. Chen Fei, you did well!" Though Housekeeper Mars's expression was somewhat ugly, he maintained his reason and did not unjustly anger at Chen Fei. The Princess's Shadow Guard was arrogant and reckless, even if it cost her life, it was not someone else's fault. Or in a way, it was the price one must pay for underestimating the heroes of the world. "Sorry, I did not control my strength!" Despite not being blamed, as a newcomer, Chen Fei still chose to keep a low profile. Keeping a low profile personally, while taking bold actions professionally, is one of the survival rules in the workplace. "Someone, take Lize Jina away!" Housekeeper Mars then had people move the young woman, who was out of life danger but still weak and unconscious, away from the scene. Gardeners and masons had already received orders, starting to prepare tools and materials, to clean up the chaotic scene. Suddenly, as if Housekeeper Mars heard something, he pressed his earpiece, then nodded at Chen Fei and said, "Mr. Chen Fei, His Highness will be back soon. Please get ready and accompany me to meet His Highness." "Okay, Housekeeper Mars!" Chen Fei nodded. "Good!" Mars immediately turned and left, Possibly agonizing over how to explain to the Princess that her personal Shadow Guard had accidentally been severely injured. This pressure could not easily be shifted onto Chen Fei. Then another maid approached Chen Fei. "Mr. Chen Fei, your room is ready, please follow me." Originally this was the job of the blonde maid Fei Dani, but since she was locked in Solitary Confinement, someone else had to guide Chen Fei to settle down in this mansion. Since he had accepted the commission, Chen Fei could not stray far from the person he was protecting; it was natural to settle down on-site. An hour later, dinner time. Chen Fei was led by the maid to the dining room. The spacious dining table was covered with a snow-white tablecloth, and various foods were arranged between the silver candlesticks. Even a dinner meant solely for the Princess was abundant enough to satisfy twenty grown men to the fullest. A dignified woman with an intellectual aura sat at the head of the table, calmly waiting for Chen Fei's arrival. "Chen Fei, this is the Princess of our Silan Dynasty, the second daughter of Her Majesty the Empress, Her Highness Lin Ziyu · Slan." Housekeeper Mars promptly introduced Chen Fei to the woman sitting at the head of the dining table. "Greetings, Your Highness, I am Chen Fei of the Chen Family." Demonstrating his lineage at this moment was a form of respect; Chen Fei went high profile this time and then bowed deeply. Normally, what was the Chen Family? It was plainly Chen Xiao'er! Even Boss Hana had not managed to uncover his true background. Her Highness of the Silan Dynasty nodded at Chen Fei and said, "The Chen Family shares some connections with our Silan Royal Family. Please, have a seat, Mr. Chen." She never exhibited an arrogant attitude that rejected others from afar. Partly it was indeed because of the family connections, and partly she was about to entrust her safety to him, and third, this princess who possessed the bloodlines of the Silan Dynasty and the Lin Family naturally had no airs about her. Housekeeper Mars immediately pulled out a chair for Chen Fei, right at the end of the table; the serving maids fluidly provided dining services for both, washing hands, cleaning faces, and serving dishes.
