Chapter 457: Chapter 310: The Precious Sword Gifted to the Beauty

Zhao Manying stepped forward with joy and laughter in her eyes, whispering, "Xinghuo, you’re back."

Her tone was light, revealing no fluctuations, as if Ji Xinghuo had simply stepped out for a daily errand and returned promptly.

But Ji Xinghuo could feel the depth of her affection at this moment.

More than a year of separation had not weakened Zhao Manying’s feelings for him one bit; on the contrary, like a fine vintage wine growing clearer with time, it had deepened, becoming more profound and lasting than before. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Ji Xinghuo also smiled, moving forward to take Zhao Manying’s hand, pulling her into his embrace.

Inhaling the fragrance of her hair and feeling the strong beat of her heart made him feel both guilty and touched.

"I’ve worried you, Manying," Ji Xinghuo said softly.

"It’s okay," replied Zhao Manying, "I trust your strength, knew you’d be fine, and that you’d return sooner or later."

Ji Xinghuo released her, a look of pride on his face, "Heh heh, of course. It’s been over a year. Manying, you’ve become even more beautiful. I kept thinking about you while I was in the Star Realm..."

"So, what did you think about?" Zhao Manying suddenly asked.

She was referring to the hundred-day love agreement, now long past its term, wondering whether to confirm the continuation of their relationship.

Ji Xinghuo could tell that although Zhao Manying casually posed the question, she was quite nervous inside.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he declared loudly, "How could I possibly give up on Manying? To have a girlfriend as wonderful as you, I must have saved the Milky Way in my past life. I’ll never let go in this lifetime!"

Zhao Manying’s expression went from anxious to elated in a split second, yet she retorted somewhat haughtily, "Smooth talker, as if I’m desperate for you..."

"But I’m desperate for you!" Ji Xinghuo wrapped his arms around his girlfriend again.

Feeling Zhao Manying’s graceful figure immediately sparked a desire in him. These days spent with Ren Mian, he had almost constantly been in heat; his body had become sensitive, easily ignited by the slightest provocation.

Like a startled fawn, Zhao Manying leapt away, her face blushing as she scolded, "You’re thinking of mischief as soon as you get back."

"Can’t help it, you’re too tempting," Ji Xinghuo shamelessly grinned.

"Hmph..."

Though Zhao Manying feigned shock, her heart was filled with sweetness.

Clearly not having mentally prepared herself, she sat down on the sofa and curiously asked, "What happened yesterday? Why did you forcefully storm the Star Gate?"

Ji Xinghuo sat down close to her, "Someone ambushed me at the Star Gate."

"Ah?" Zhao Manying was shocked.

She knew well the significance of the Star Gate; any force capable of setting an ambush there, whether official or a private organization, must be terrifying.

"Is this related to the two assassination attempts you’ve survived before?" Zhao Manying immediately guessed.

"Yes." Ji Xinghuo nodded. "This time they wanted to kill me for good. Fortunately, I was quick to react and strong enough to escape unscathed."

He reminisced, "You have no idea, so much happened in the day and night after I returned to Earth from the Star Realm. I personally took down three Legends, even caused a stir with the leader; today, who knows how many heads will roll. On the ladders of Legends and Heavenly Kings, I expect many names will vanish."

"Even the leader was alarmed! You’ve even slain Legends..." Zhao Manying’s eyes widened in astonishment.

Ji Xinghuo briefly recounted the events.

He had already shared some details with Zhao Manying; although related to the Qianyuan Association’s secrets, those would soon be public.

After listening, Zhao Manying realized just how thrilling Ji Xinghuo’s past 24 hours had been.

If Ji Xinghuo hadn’t become so much stronger, he might have lost his life.

"Thank goodness you’re back safe," she said, worried and relieved at the same time. "The Swordsmen of the Sword Bureau are so dangerous; I wouldn’t know how to face it if something had happened to you..."

"Hehe, if I wasn’t sure, I wouldn’t have come back," Ji Xinghuo feigned nonchalance, not wanting to worry her further.

Zhao Manying grasped his hand firmly. "I know you are strong, but sometimes, you can’t be too confident. There are always higher heavens and stronger people. When it’s time to hide, hide. Your life should always come first."

"Yeah, I understand," replied Ji Xinghuo softly, touched. He looked into Zhao Manying’s eyes for a few seconds, unable to resist kissing her.

Parting was sweet sorrow, and the two clung together on the sofa.

Ji Xinghuo almost lost control, but Zhao Manying’s words quenched the flame: "My period is here."

"Uh..."

He sat up, embarrassment on his face, "Hahaha, that is certainly inconvenient. You should rest more and drink lots of warm water."

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Zhao Manying was immediately amused, her embarrassment largely dissolving.

Mutants’ Evolution strengthens the body, gradually reducing inconveniences and weaknesses. This is especially true for female mutants; as they evolve, their menstrual cycle lengthens—once every few months, or even once every year or two, with little to no impact on the body.

After reaching Legendary status, their periods would completely disappear, but they could still control ovulation at will.

"Tell me about your experiences in the Star Realm," Zhao Manying moved closer to nestle in Ji Xinghuo’s embrace, "I want to hear."

"Alright..."

Ji Xinghuo truthfully recounted his experiences on the Bloody Plateau, his encounter with Xia Qingyu, participating in the war of the Red Emperor’s followers, and entering Earth Abyss Star, among others.

Of course, he completely omitted anything about Ren Mian.

"Your strength has grown too fast!" Zhao Manying exclaimed, her eyes sparkling. "In just over a year, you’ve surpassed me by more than just a level. The Star Realm indeed is where mutants should go, with dangers and opportunities hand in hand. I want to go too."
