Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

As Huo Wen’an said, Siwei Town was bustling today, and local residents could be seen everywhere on the streets.

They had all changed into traditional attire of the Divine Hidden Clan; the women wore scale-like skirts with beautifully crafted shell necklaces around their necks. The men also donned indigenous embroidered short jackets paired with wide-legged pants resembling a half-skirt style.

The residents of Siwei Town did not recognize Xu Xingguang or Huo Wen’an, and they were relatively unfamiliar with Zheng Lie and Cheng Yue, but they recognized Cheng Yue’s work uniform and the serpentine-patterned badge on her shoulder, representing the Pilot Mansion.

There were many stalls along the roadside selling handcrafted goods and snacks. Xu Xingguang tasted several items but wasn’t particularly fond of the texture of Siwei Town’s traditional food. The only thing she liked was a chilled snack made from coconut and potato starch.

”There are plenty of stalls selling jewelry over there.” Huo Wen’an pointed to a human-shaped path along the coast, where there were fewer people, but the path was narrow, making it inconvenient for Huo Wen’an in his wheelchair to go.

He said, ”If you want to go, let Cheng Yue accompany you.”

Xu Xingguang indeed liked those glittering trinkets and called Cheng Yue to walk along the path with her.

For some unknown reason, she felt a pang of palpitation in her chest, like something dangerous hidden in the shadows was observing her.

But Xu Xingguang looked around and found no abnormalities.

She stared at the horizon of the sea, thinking: Could it be that a tsunami is about to happen?

Yet the waves seemed very normal.

”What’s wrong, Miss Xu?” Cheng Yue noticed Xu Xingguang’s restless demeanor, looking around incessantly, with no interest in looking at the jewelry, and asked her, ”Are you feeling unwell?”

”Is it a heatstroke?” Though with a temperature of thirty degrees today, it shouldn’t be easy to get heatstroke.

Xu Xingguang shook her head, ”Nothing major, just feeling a bit stuffy. Cheng Yue, don’t you feel stuffy?”

Cheng Yue shook her head, ”The weather’s been good these days. Only when it’s about to storm does it feel stuffy. Do you feel very stuffy? Should we head back?”

Just as Xu Xingguang was about to nod, she caught a glimpse of a glimmering tassel bracelet in her peripheral vision. The bracelet comprised ten irregularly shaped special minerals resembling glass, identical to the tattoo on Xu Xingguang’s left hand!

Xu Xingguang’s pupils slightly contracted.

How could this be!

She instinctively looked down at her left hand’s necklace tattoo, confirming they indeed looked the same, suppressing the absurd feeling in her heart, she said to Cheng Yue, ”Wait here for me, I’m going over to have a look.”

Cheng Yue compliantly stood in place waiting for her.

Xu Xingguang approached the stall, observing carefully, growing increasingly alarmed.

”This...”

Xu Xingguang raised her head to look beyond the stall.

The stall owner sat on a rock behind the stall, holding a handmade oil-paper umbrella against the sun, making it impossible for Xu Xingguang to see him entirely, only that he was wearing a white suit.

He had waist-length white hair casually draped behind him, and since the hair color matched his clothing, she initially didn’t notice.

Does Siwei Town have such types of locals?

Sensing Xu Xingguang’s gaze, the person suddenly raised his head and stared directly at Xu Xingguang.

The gaze crashed unexpectedly into those blue, unfathomable eyes, and Xu Xingguang suddenly felt palpitations, a panic as though her soul had been instantly seen through.

Xu Xingguang was first captivated by the opponent’s excessively stunning and handsome appearance, then noticed the red thumb-thick small snake coiled around the man’s neck!

She also keenly realized that the pressure weighing on her heart, making her feel anxious and uneasy, originated from this person.

He was not from Divine Concealment Island!

Realizing this, Xu Xingguang’s mental alarm bells rang loudly.

She instinctively used her right hand to cover her left wrist, turning to leave. Just as she turned and stepped forward with her right leg, she suddenly heard the man say, ”Xu Qingtian sent me to greet you.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingguang’s eyes instantly widened.

She abruptly turned back to gaze at the man in white, her breathing becoming significantly heavier, ”Who are you?”

Xu Qingtian was her elder brother in the tenth cycle of reincarnation, and it was his assistance that allowed her to return to the real world.

To suddenly hear her elder brother’s name from an unfamiliar mouth in the Otherworld, how could Xu Xingguang not be astonished?

The man chuckled, his red lips slightly lifting as he introduced himself, ”Mo Xiao.”

Mo Xiao!

Upon hearing this name, Xu Xingguang’s legs slightly weakened.

”You are... You are the Divine Fox God Divination Master, Lord Mo Xiao?”

The place Xu Xingguang went in the tenth cycle of reincarnation was a modern cultivation world called the Holy Spirit Continent. Mo Xiao was the State Preceptor of the Divine Moon Country where she was, and later became the renowned Divine Fox God Divination Master across three thousand worlds.
