Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”Heh.” Just then, a deep, clear man’s laughter came from the southern dense forest.

It was the direction where 004 had been hiding before.

The survivors opened their eyes and looked toward the southern forest, only to see a man in black emerge from behind a tree.

They were some distance away, and it was nighttime, so they couldn’t clearly see the man’s face.

But they recognized the stone giant axe in his hand as the signature weapon of 012 Combat Doll, yet the figure was clearly not 012 himself.

He killed 012.

Who is he?

Huo Wen’an dropped the giant axe in his hand, raised both hands in a gesture of surrender, as if frightened, and cautiously approached Xu Xingguang, pleading ingratiatingly, ”Boss, I have points. I’ll give you all my points, please spare my life, okay?”

Xu Xingguang’s expression did not change, she looked at him without speaking.

She waited until the man got closer, then suddenly reached out her right hand and grabbed the man’s neck.

He’s done for!

The survivors all believed that man was doomed.

But the next second, they witnessed a scene that left them utterly astonished—

The mysterious female boss who had once demolished the Hell Palace prison system with a punch suddenly grabbed the collar of that man in black and tilted her head up to kiss him!

Oh my god!

At this point, the survivors didn’t even dare to breathe heavily, fearing the sound of their breathing would disturb the two being intimate.

In the unfamiliar Divine Martial Realm, separated for more than a month, not only did Huo Wen’an miss Xu Xingguang, but Xu Xingguang also yearned for Huo Wen’an.

Especially a thousand-year-old singular creature who, once having a taste of love, couldn’t get enough.

She dreamt of Huo Wen’an for several nights.

Huo Wen’an without clothes, Huo Wen’an dressed yet undressed by her, Huo Wen’an gasping for breath, Huo Wen’an with a pained yet satisfied expression.

Those were all dreams that, upon waking, left Xu Xingguang feeling a deep sense of loss and longing for Huo Wen’an.

The two kissed passionately by the lake for a long while, realizing that if they continued, she would lose control and behave wildly with Huo Wen’an right there. Xu Xingguang then restrained herself and pushed Huo Wen’an away.

She turned around, took a deep breath several times, waiting for her breathing to calm down, then turned back to look at Huo Wen’an.

Huo Wen’an was also exhaling.

Their gazes met, and they both couldn’t help but smile.

Huo Wen’an raised his left hand, shaking the Luo Fei Ring with its eerie blue glow on his ring finger, his gaze profound. ”It lit up, and I knew you were here.”

Xu Xingguang touched the Luo Fei Stone Ring on Huo Wen’an’s ring finger, remembered something, and asked, ”You left the terminal brain and staff, and the Huo Family’s ancient python pattern ring to Zheng Qin, why didn’t you take this off?”

Huo Wen’an raised an eyebrow and said honestly, ”I couldn’t bear to.” It’s a wedding ring, with a different significance.

Xu Xingguang smiled, quite satisfied with this answer.

Huo Wen’an looked down at Xu Xingguang’s dress, saw that 004’s blood had stained her beautiful skirt, furrowed his brow, and said, ”Don’t keep this dress, it’s dirty.”

”Mm.”

”I didn’t think you would really come to Bai Ze Island.” Huo Wen’an always thought Xu Xingguang was joking in the video that day.

Honestly, when he saw the Luo Fei Stone emit a blue light and realized Xu Xingguang was in this Toy Pool, his heart lost its rhythm for Xu Xingguang.

It was more intense than ever.

”Xingguang, why did you come to Bai Ze Island?” Huo Wen’an knew the answer in his heart, but he still stubbornly wanted to hear Xu Xingguang say it herself.

What he wanted, after all, was just that simple phrase, ’I love you.’

But Xu Xingguang’s answer surprised him.

She said, ”Once you were the Monarch of Xia Country, and I was a soldier of Xia Country. To fight for you and protect our country was my duty as a subject.”

”Now, you and I are husband and wife, we once swore to share good times and adversity together. Your hatred is my hatred. Naturally, I am here to accompany you.”

”Brother A Zui.” Xu Xingguang pointed to Huo Wen’an’s chest, her beautiful eyes calm, and said, ”The love I want is one where we are evenly matched, supporting each other, do you understand?”

Huo Wen’an always thought ’I love you’ was the most moving confession in the world.

But Xu Xingguang’s words carried far more weight than ’I love you.’

She spoke not of love, but of mutual support.

”Thank you for coming.” Huo Wen’an had to admit, seeing Xu Xingguang here made him truly happy.

Thinking of something, Xu Xingguang pointed overhead.
