Chapter 513 Returning Home
It is more than 800 kilometers from Chaka Star Gate to Chang'an. It only takes ten minutes to see the super city ahead from the shuttle.
It is afternoon in Chang'an now, and the weather in March has warmed up.
Ji Xinghuo looked at the city skyline. The skyscrapers rising from the ground were shining in the sun. Countless maglev cars were speeding on the superconducting highway. The number of flying cars in the sky was obviously more, forming a sky route.
Today's Chang'an feels both familiar and strange to me.
The earth is in a period of rapid development, and science and technology are changing with each passing day. Chang'an is also the capital of the Asia-Pacific Community, with the largest collection of resources and talents in the world.
I haven't been back for just two years, and there have been a lot of changes.
Ji Daosheng withdrew his gaze and said, "You just returned to Earth to reunite with your family and friends. Take a good rest for a few days."
"Okay, Führer."
Ji Xinghuo nodded. The head of state's words revealed some information. After rest, he would start working.
"Who is our first target?" he said casually.
"South Asian Alliance."
Ji Daosheng replied quietly.
Ji Xinghuo was not surprised by this answer. He had learned the top-secret information from Li Hui long before he went to the star realm. The head of state had been secretly planning for many years to join the last piece of Asia into the Asia-Pacific Community.
But how to do it specifically, he is not interested in asking in detail now. Anyway, he just needs to be a thug.
The shuttle landed on top of a thousand-meter building.
After Ji Xinghuo and the others said goodbye to the head of state, the shuttle took off again and left in the direction of the head of state's palace.
Zhao Cangming and Lu Yunhai were still excited. Before getting off the plane, they took photos with the head of state.
"I want to pass this photo on to my son as a family heirloom."
"I'll set it as my avatar right away."
The words of the two made Ji Xinghuo dumbfounded, so he had to remind: "Any photo taken by an individual with the head of state cannot be posted randomly. It will be automatically processed when it is uploaded to the Internet. Only the official can publish it. You can just keep it yourself."
"Huh? You can't send it?"
Lu Yunhai felt very sorry. This was a great opportunity to show off among his classmates.
"Isn't Wuyanzhen enough for you?" Ji Xinghuo said with a smile.
"Enough is enough."
Lu Yunhai looked at the ferocious bird that had just landed from the sky on the roof, with flames and black smoke coming out of its broad wings, like a meteor. He suddenly became excited again, "I never dared to dream before that I could have a brilliant battle pet." ”
He looked at Ji Xinghuo and thanked: "I really benefited from you this time, and I got a big deal."
Ji Xinghuo patted Lu Yunhai on the shoulder, "It's a small matter."
At this time, someone in the flying car under the building and in the sky around him had already noticed Wu Yanzhen.
"Go to the Battle Pet Management Department to register yourself. Zangming and I will leave first." Ji Xinghuo said.
Any battle pets, mounts or controlled monsters brought back from the star realm must be registered as soon as they come out of the star gate. Only after passing the test and evaluation can they obtain legal status and travel on the earth.
Since the head of state came to greet him, the Star Gate Fortress was temporarily closed to traffic, so Lu Yunhai was unable to register in time.
There is also a battle pet management department in Chang'an, which can also be registered.
Lu Yunhai was the person whose name the head of state remembered, as well as a group photo. If anyone dared to covet Wu Yanzhen, all he had to do was show the photo.
It is basically impossible to have an accident.
Ji Xinghuo had no intention of going with Lu Yunhai, believing that he could handle it on his own.
"I'll ask you in two days to keep in touch." Lu Yunhai jumped on Wu Yanzhen's back, and his ancient hunting dog also climbed up.
"gone."
Ji Xinghuo nodded and reached out to grab Zhao Zangming's shoulder.
There was a boom.
A bolt of lightning shot into the sky from the roof of the building. Lu Yunhai didn't even see Ji Xinghuo's figure clearly, and he disappeared from the horizon in an instant.
"Damn, Starfire is so powerful now..."
Lu Yunhai couldn't help but sigh, and after feeling envious, he controlled Wu Yanzhen to take off.
Jingwei District is adjacent to the Central Administrative District and is one of the largest jurisdictions in Chang'an. It is full of high-rise buildings and heavy traffic.
A bolt of lightning that was not very dazzling flashed across the sky, and a few seconds later there was a faint sound of thunder, but it was extremely fast. It came all the way from the west and soon entered Jingwei District and landed in a high-end apartment building. Down.
The lightning dissipated, revealing the figures of Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Cangming.
"arrive."
Ji Xinghuo looked up at the more than 300-story building.
"Ugh..." Zhao Zangming couldn't hold it in any longer and ran to the corner. He felt like his stomach was churning and he vomited out everything he had eaten yesterday.
Not only was he vomiting, but his mind was also dizzy.
Ji Xinghuo felt a little sorry when he saw his miserable state. He had already slowed down a lot. He didn't expect that Zhao Zangming, as a super alien, couldn't bear it and had such a big reaction.
Shuiji's physical fitness is still a bit poor.
But in any case, he was super strange. Zhao Zangming quickly recovered his condition, leaving only his hands and feet feeling a little shaky, as if he was about to float.
"Are you okay?" Ji Xinghuo asked concernedly.
"It's okay, brother-in-law." Zhao Zangming shook his head helplessly and said in a low voice, "I am too weak."
"You have made great progress compared to two years ago, so there is no need to be so presumptuous." Ji Xinghuo smiled, then raised his head and looked through the walls and floors of the building, "Manying and Aunt Zhuo are both at home, let's go up now. "
This is the residence of Zhuo Yanran, the mother of the Zhao siblings.
Since the accident two years ago, Zhao Manying moved in with Zhuo Yanran, first to protect her, and second to avoid those fanatical fans who could not accept the retirement of the "Sword Immortal" and came to the door.
Enter the building from the main entrance and take the elevator.
Ji Xinghuo took out his mobile phone and turned it on. He immediately received a large number of messages, including contacts, emails, social accounts, etc. He had accumulated millions of reminder messages in two years, but most of them could be ignored.
He only checked the messages and emails sent by family and friends on the whitelist and found that there was nothing important.
The closest people knew that he had gone to the Star Realm.
Only those who didn't know would send messages, so there was no need to read them.
Ji Xinghuo sent a message in the family group, telling his brothers and sisters that he was back, but he had something to do now and would go home in a while.
There was an immediate response in the group.
"Third brother!"
"You are finally back..."
Ye Dongyun, Wang Zizhen and Liangqiu Feiyan were all sending messages quickly. Ji Xinghuo chatted with them briefly and the elevator arrived.
Zhao Zangming opened the door and went in, immediately alarming the two aliens guarding the door. They were bodyguards. They were relieved to see Zhao Zangming, and then they saw Ji Xinghuo walking behind them, and they became alert.
They didn't recognize Ji Xinghuo.
There were always seven bodyguards in the apartment of thousands of square meters, led by the legendary alien An Zhisu, who had been living in Zhuo Yanran's home with her people for the past two years.
Ji Xinghuo found out the situation when he was still more than 200 kilometers away.
An Yitian and An Zhisu, the legendary brother and sister, protected Zhao Manying and their family respectively, and the head of state sent people to secretly watch them. Neither family was attacked or assassinated, and Shi Hongyi had been silent.
"Wait a minute."
A super alien stopped Ji Xinghuo.
He looked up and down but couldn't see any information, but it was precisely because he couldn't see anything that it showed that there was something wrong with the person in front of him.
At least he was a super alien of the same level as himself, and he might even be a legend.
"He is my brother-in-law." Zhao Zangming said.
The bodyguard was about to ask about his identity, but was stunned when he heard this, and then he realized who the brother-in-law Zhao Zangming was talking about.
"Ji Xinghuo!"
The two bodyguards widened their eyes.
This person is the most powerful genius in human history, the 33rd on the global combat power list, the first on the legendary list, Zhao Manying's boyfriend, the famous Ji Xinghuo?
Ji Xinghuo nodded to them, and then entered the door. He saw three women at a glance, Zhao Manying, Zhuo Yanran and An Zhisu. They all heard the movement at the door and ran out of the training room without changing their training clothes.
"Zangming!"
Zhuo Yanran saw his son who had been away from home for more than half a year, and his charming face was full of surprise, especially seeing that his son had all his limbs intact and had no injuries on his body, he was even happier.
Ji Xinghuo's eyes fell on Zhao Manying.
Her figure was still tall and straight, and her training clothes could not hide her graceful curves. Her black hair was tied into a high ponytail, and she was beautiful and unparalleled. She was stunning just standing there, as if she was a banished immortal, making people feel ashamed.
Zhao Manying had been promoted to Legendary, and her strength had improved by leaps and bounds. It seemed that she had just broken through to the second stage of Legendary not long ago.
Their eyes met.
As her eyes moved, she seemed to have countless words to say.
"Manying."
Ji Xinghuo flashed in front of Zhao Manying, took her slender hand and held it, and whispered: "I'm back."
"Yeah." Zhao Manying nodded slightly.
She only said one word, her eyes focused on Ji Xinghuo, revealing full of concern and love. Even the most ignorant people could see her sincere feelings for Ji Xinghuo, which were implicit but firm.
Ji Xinghuo suddenly felt guilty and a little guilty. He turned to look at Zhuo Yanran and greeted, "Aunt Zhuo."
Then he looked at An Zhisu and nodded, "Senior An."
An Zhisu nodded.
She is a legendary Fiery Maniac, but her personality is the opposite of her brother. She is cold and doesn't like to talk.
An Zhisu waved to the bodyguards and asked them to return to their posts.
"Xinghuo, sit down quickly." Zhuo Yanran had long regarded her daughter's boyfriend as half a family member, but today she suddenly came back with her son and asked curiously, "Xinghuo, how did you meet Zangming?"
Ji Xinghuo and Zhao Manying sat side by side and smiled, "I met Zangming in the Star Realm..."
He briefly described what happened.
Zhuo Yanran is neither an alien nor has she ever been to the Star Realm. There is no need for her to know many things.
And it is not convenient to say that there are bodyguards at home.
After chatting for a while, Ji Xinghuo gave Zhuo Yanran two potions that can delay facial aging.
This is a product of an alien race under the jurisdiction of the True Dragon Dynasty. The price is not high, and each piece is only a few dozen ether crystals.
Ji Xinghuo bought twenty pieces at once as small gifts for family and friends.
Zhuo Yanran didn't want to accept it at first.
But when she heard that it could delay facial aging, and the effect of one piece would last at least five years, and two pieces would last for ten years, she couldn't take her eyes away immediately.
Even An Zhisu next to her showed a heartbeat.
Ji Xinghuo smiled secretly.
This kind of thing that can maintain youth is fatal to women, and they can go crazy for it.
After accepting the gift, Zhuo Yanran smiled happily and asked Ji Xinghuo to have dinner with her, and she wanted to cook it herself.
"Aunt Zhuo, I have to go home first. I will definitely come back to taste your cooking another day." Ji Xinghuo said goodbye. At this time, Zhao Manying had changed into exquisite clothes and put on makeup. She said, "Mom, I will take Xinghuo home. You don't have to wait for me for dinner tonight."
Zhuo Yanran naturally knew her daughter's thoughts and was happy for her daughter from the bottom of her heart. She smiled and said, "You go."
The more she looked at this prospective son-in-law, the more she liked him.
Ji Xinghuo took Zhao Manying's hand and walked to the balcony. He jumped up and the two of them turned into lightning and rushed into the sky.
Breaking through the sound barrier, the scenery on both sides retreated like lightning, causing distortion in the field of vision.
Zhao Manying looked normal.
She leaned in Ji Xinghuo's arms, feeling his strong heartbeat, and their eyes met. Everything was self-evident.
After flying out of Jingwei District, Ji Xinghuo suddenly lowered the altitude. Not far ahead was Weiyang Building where she had lived for many years. She had rarely come back to live in the past two years. Qindu Tianwu Center, where Ji Xinghuo rented, was not far away.
"Didn't you say you were going home?" Zhao Manying blushed.
"Yes!"
Ji Xinghuo replied as a matter of course, "Isn't this our home?"
As he spoke, he landed at Weiyang Building and entered Zhao Manying's home directly from the balcony. Although no one lived there permanently, the housekeeping robot kept it clean and tidy.
Looking around the living room, everything was the same as before.
In front of the wide and huge one-way floor-to-ceiling window, Ji Xinghuo grabbed Zhao Manying's hand and hugged her into his arms.
"Manying."
Ji Xinghuo whispered.
Zhao Manying stared at his eyes infatuatedly, and the next second, the emotions she had been brewing for two years burst out, and she put her arms around Ji Xinghuo's neck, and the response was so enthusiastic that Ji Xinghuo was surprised.
This battle was so fierce that even the road was wiped out.
After it was over, the two lay on the sofa.
"Manying, you are finally blessed after a long drought." Ji Xinghuo recalled the excitement just now and joked, "I think I have realized the true meaning of this sentence."
Zhao Manying's face still had lingering charm, she raised her eyes, "Aren't you?"
"Of course!"
Ji Xinghuo did not show any abnormality on the surface, but in her heart she secretly said that it was a close call, and she almost exposed her true identity.
Zhao Manying smiled and snuggled in his arms without saying anything.
The living room was quiet for a few seconds.
The atmosphere was charming, but Ji Xinghuo always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he changed the subject, "I almost went to the True Dragon Dynasty this time when I went to the Star Realm. Not only did I become a Heavenly King, I also gained a lot of spoils, and I also brought you a few alien species. You will definitely like it."
"Qinghong!"
Ji Xinghuo called out.
Qinghong ran over from the guest room next door, his body swelled and grew larger. He had a backpack hanging on his side. He took it off and threw it to Ji Xinghuo, then ran back to continue watching his cartoons and eating takeout and snacks.
Ji Xinghuo took out several prepared alien species from his backpack and suspended them in front of him. Zhao Manying was shocked at just one look.
Several of them were meteorite alien species!
