Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

The two of them gazed up at the dazzling starry sky overhead, able to hear each other’s thunderous heartbeat.

"Are the stars above us really stars?" Xu Xingguang tugged at the corner of her mouth, whispering to herself, "Why can’t they just be starry sky monitors?"

Boom!

As Xu Xingguang questioned the starry sky above her head, a red beam of light suddenly shot out from a dark screen, and that starburst blossomed into a giant firework on the screen.

Hearing the commotion, the staff sitting below the screen simultaneously looked up in surprise at the enormous virtual screen above them.

On that virtual screen was an image.

If Xu Xingguang and Huo Wen’an were here, they would discover that the image was a map of the world they lived in!

No!

No, that wasn’t a map, but a real-time surveillance image!

On the image, Xia Country, Great Sheep Country, Country Y, and other nations were proportionally reduced and presented on the screen. In the monitoring on the screen, half was dark and half bright, representing night and day.

On the map symbolizing night, all countries and cities were arranged around a mountain range that seemed vertical. And that mountain range was the famous Kunze Mountain Range!

The red firework bloomed at the center of the southern seas of Xia Country, its explosion so dazzling that, for a moment, its radiance outshone the lights in the office hall.

Gazing at the magnificent firework, silence fell over the office hall.

It wasn’t until the firework faded that a voice in surprise said, "What is that...?"

Someone answered, "Someone in the Mortal World discovered the truth of the star chess game."

"How is it possible..."

"More than two thousand years, and someone has seen through the truth of the star chess game!"

"Quick! Immediately report this news to the Divine Martial Hall. Someone in the Mortal World discovered the truth of the star chess game, there might be chaos!"

"Yes!"

Another person said in a cold tone, "Quickly lock down this person’s identity information for me!"

In just four or five seconds, a technician found the identity of the other party, "Xu Xingguang, Mortal World, Yujiang City, Xia Country, this year..." The technician hesitated, then said in shocked disbelief, "22 years old this year."

years old.

Hearing such an unbelievably young age, the technicians in the office hall were all stunned.

"So young, how could she see through the truth of the star chess game?"

"It feels like the secrets of the Mortal World are about to be uncovered."

On Divine Concealment Island, Xu Xingguang had no idea that her words had already caused a great upheaval in the Divine Martial Realm.

The two of them finished the bottle of wine, most of it ending up in Xu Xingguang’s stomach, with Huo Wen’an only sipping two glasses. His mind preoccupied, he hadn’t savored its taste.

Noticing the bottle was empty when he was about to refill his glass, he realized it was already finished.

"Did you drink it all by yourself?" Seeing Xu Xingguang’s slightly flushed cheeks and misty eyes, he shook his head helplessly and sighed, "You didn’t leave me any, I still haven’t tasted it."

Xu Xingguang suddenly raised her left arm, wrapped it around his neck, and pulled him closer.

They were immediately close.

Huo Wen’an stared at the stunning face so near, swallowing unconsciously. "You..."

Xu Xingguang’s nose touched Huo Wen’an’s, brushing gently against him.

Huo Wen’an’s eyes turned dark, and his voice was hoarse as he asked Xu Xingguang, "What do you want to do?"

"Didn’t you say you didn’t taste it?" Xu Xingguang lightly brushed against Huo Wen’an’s lips, leaving a hint of alcohol and lipstick, "Do you want to taste it?"

Xu Xingguang’s effortless demeanor made Huo Wen’an feel... bashful.

And stimulated.

"Xu Xingguang, other than me, have you kept other men?" Huo Wen’an pinched Xu Xingguang’s waist, somewhat jealous, examining her, "In your past lives, you must have kept others, right?"

Xu Xingguang raised an eyebrow, saying, "I’m so outstanding, of course, many excellent people appeared around me, and you wouldn’t believe it if I said I’ve never been tempted."

But in truth, she’s never truly experienced love.

Love, it’s addictive, once touched it’s hard to quit.

She somehow felt she couldn’t really lose herself in the reincarnation world, she had to return to the real world. Thus, regarding feelings, Xu Xingguang remained restrained.

Huo Wen’an held Xu Xingguang’s head and kissed her while asking, "Did they kiss you like this too?"

"Would they dare?" Xu Xingguang raised her eyebrows, suddenly exuding the imposing aura of a general commanding thousands of troops in battle.

Huo Wen’an slightly frowned, biting Xu Xingguang’s lip heavily, asking again, "Then, did you ever kiss them?"

Xu Xingguang suddenly fell silent.

Huo Wen’an understood, and in anger, laughed, sarcastically saying, "Our Xingguang, so experienced, knows both men and women, truly fortunate."

How was Xu Xingguang supposed to reply?

She didn’t want to lie to Huo Wen’an, so she simply remained silent.

Huo Wen’an chuckled bitterly, gritting his teeth and scolding, "Player!" Thinking the term ’player’ wasn’t accurate, he changed his tone and scolded, "Casanova!"

After some thought, feeling neither ’player’ nor ’Casanova’ were sufficient to describe Xu Xingguang, Huo Wen’an angrily cursed, "Scoundrel!"

This time he finally got it right.

Xu Xingguang directly silenced him with her hand, "Shut up, focus!"

That night, Xu Xingguang, with ten lifetimes of single experience, sent Huo Wen’an to paradise.

Returning to the Pilot Mansion, Huo Wen’an’s face was still flushed, and when Zheng Lie came to report something, he was also turned away by him.

"Whatever it is, discuss it tomorrow morning." Huo Wen’an led Xu Xingguang back to the room.

Huo Wen’an was a capricious person, Zheng Lie was used to it, so he didn’t notice anything unusual about Huo Wen’an.

The next morning, Ye Mingluo arrived at the Pilot Mansion, had breakfast with Huo Wen’an and the others, and then heard Xu Xingguang ask, "How many pages have you read of that medical book?"

Ye Mingluo said, "Up to the Chapter ’Ghosts Cry’."

Nodding, Xu Xingguang began to quiz Ye Mingluo on his studies in front of Huo Wen’an.

Ye Mingluo had a good memory, able to answer mostly correctly.

Seeing he was truly diligent, Xu Xingguang then said, "Today, I will prepare the first prescription for A Zui, and you’ll assist me."

Hearing this, Ye Mingluo was thrilled, "Alright, Master!"

Huo Wen’an’s organ failure was severe; in Western medicine, organ failure is irreversible, and regular herbs indeed cannot repair failing organs. However, Xu Xingguang had many miraculous herbs and was 100% confident she could cure Huo Wen’an.

Xu Xingguang casually remarked, "It seems there’s no traditional Chinese medicine clinic on Divine Concealment Island, it would be great if there were."

While she spoke unintentionally, Huo Wen’an noticed, considering Xu Xingguang would frequently use a pharmacy, he called Uncle Xia, instructing him, "Uncle Xia, find some people to clean the building on the east side, from now on, that building will be converted into Madam’s herb storage."

Uncle Xia was shocked, once again surprised by the Young Helmsman’s regard for Miss Xu. "Alright, I’ll go clean up right away."

Uncle Xia originally thought the Young Helmsman and the Old Helmsman were father and son but had nothing in common.

But now Uncle Xia changed his view.

The father and son duo did have something in common, they both were hopeless romantics!
