Xue Xi was jolted awake from her deep sleep by the alarm she had set. Her mental power instantly spread out, and she saw Ai Chen approaching her door. Glancing at the dark sky outside, Xue Xi wondered what this girl was doing sneaking around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping.
Sensing that Ai Chen was about to knock, Xue Xi simply opened the door with a thought just as Ai Chen reached for it.
Ai Chen didn't find anything strange about it. After all, Xue Xi was a World Lord. She entered the room and saw Xue Xi, bleary-eyed with sleep, getting ready to crawl back under the covers. Though the trust Xue Xi showed her warmed her heart, this was no time for sleeping.
She hurried over and caught Xue Xi's head just before it drooped back onto the pillow. "Little Xue Xi, didn't we come here to sightsee? While you were asking that stallholder for information today, I heard something else about Liyuan Planet elsewhere. Want to hear about it?"
Xue Xi rolled her eyes at her. "Sis, I let you in in the middle of the night. If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you beating around the bush?"
The slightly ruffled puffball covered her mouth and giggled. "All right, all right, I'll tell you. What that stallholder said today was only what's on the surface. Liyuan Planet didn't become the commercial leader of the Mimeng Star System just because of the Liyuan Sacred Fruit. The fruit does work well, but production is limited, and there are plenty of restrictions on its use. It's not enough to drive the economy of an entire star system."
Xue Xi's interest was piqued. "Then what is it?"
Ai Chen spread her hands.
