Chapter 175: Descent

“Boyfriend?” Xu Xin widened her eyes and looked at her older brother Xu Gang beside her. Didn’t her brother know… she and Luo Feng hadn’t established their relationship yet?

“Boyfriend?” Luo Feng wore a strange expression and remained silent.

In his heart, however, he had developed a certain fondness for Xu Gang, this “younger brother-in-law.” Although Xu Gang seemed to place too much importance on status, it was understandable. The first time they met, Luo Feng had disliked him intensely. But to be fair, back then Xu Gang had indeed acted for his sister’s benefit. Now, he was even actively pushing Luo Feng and Xu Xin’s relationship forward…

Having such a considerate younger brother-in-law wasn’t so bad.

“Luo Feng,” Xu Gang smiled. “Back when we first met, I was quite rude to you. I hope my future brother-in-law will forgive me and grant me some face…”

In an instant, Luo Feng’s status had upgraded from Xu Xin’s boyfriend to “future brother-in-law.”

“Brother!” Xu Xin couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Ahh,” Xu Gang let out dramatically. “My sister is shy now. Luo Feng, I’ll treat you to dinner later. Now I’ll go first with Uncle Bo and the others. We’ll leave you two alone.” So saying, he grabbed Sun Chao’s arm, “Sun Chao, let’s go. We shouldn’t disturb their private moment.”

Sun Chao looked stiff and awkward, and was dragged away.

…

Sun Chao and Xu Gang walked out of the airport exit and departed in three separate cars with the rest of the family.

Inside the stretched luxury car.

Sun Chao and Xu Gang sat in the back seat. Xu Gang was no longer as playful as before. He calmly glanced at Sun Chao beside him: “Sun Chao, don’t interfere with my sister and Luo Feng’s relationship. Otherwise, the consequences…”

“We’ve practically grown up together. Let me remind you as your older brother: my sister and Luo Feng’s relationship has full support from the top level of the Xu family. Whoever dares to disrupt it will have no good days ahead, even if your father protects you,” Xu Gang said in a low voice. “My sister and Luo Feng’s relationship is currently the most important matter for our family.”

Sun Chao remained silent.

After a long pause, Sun Chao finally asked, “Xu Gang, this Luo Feng… could he be the Luo Feng from the Limit Martial Arts Gym?”

“Oh, you know about him?” Xu Gang smiled.

“Two days ago, when I was overseas, my father mentioned this Luo Feng during a phone call. He said Luo Feng has been making quite a name for himself inside the War God Palace,” Sun Chao exhaled deeply. “Earlier at the airport, your words angered me, but at that moment, the name ‘Luo Feng’ sounded familiar. Only after getting into the car did I remember.”

Xu Gang looked at him with a smile: “Still thinking about pursuing my sister?”

“Pfft, no way.”

Sun Chao glared at Xu Gang. “My interest in your sister has always been ignored, and she’s never given me any face. But I didn’t care back then… I thought it was because we hadn’t spent enough time together. That’s why I specially came back from overseas with you this time. But I never expected her boyfriend to be this Luo Feng. I can’t compete with him. If I really tried, I’m afraid my father would break my legs!”

Sun Chao’s father was a World Warrior-level expert, serving as a guest warrior for the Xu family.

Because of his father’s status, Sun Chao had the qualification to manage a small portion of the Xu family’s business in America. He clearly understood… his father was far inferior to Luo Feng. Would he dare provoke him? Competing for someone else’s girlfriend, especially Luo Feng’s girlfriend? Was he looking for death?

“You didn’t even tell me earlier that Xu Xin had such a boyfriend,” Sun Chao complained.

“You’re blaming me? Our schedule was so tight this time, and I was busy checking the family’s business in America. From beginning to end, I only met you three times while we were in America. How would I know you came back specifically to pursue my sister? Weren’t you the one who said you missed home and wanted to see your parents when you came back?” Xu Gang glared.

Sun Chao was speechless.

Wasn’t that just an excuse… This trip back had been for nothing. Well, at least he could go back to visit his parents. As for Xu Xin, on one hand, she had no interest in him, and on the other, thinking about Luo Feng’s legendary status made Sun Chao shudder inwardly. Man… he was the “Invincible War God.” Killing him would be as easy as eating or drinking.

…

It was just after eight in the evening. Night had descended, and the faint glow of streetlights spilled across the concrete pavement.

Luo Feng and Xu Xin walked side by side on the road. They had just finished dinner, and now Luo Feng was escorting Xu Xin home.

“The rich really live differently. With such limited land in the base city, the rich still have such quiet, sparsely populated areas,” Luo Feng remarked. “In other residential areas, the streets would be full of cars and people at this time. But in this wealthy district, there are very few people.”

Xu Xin gave Luo Feng a blank look: “You talking about the rich? Are you not rich yourself? The total liquid assets of our family don’t even compare to your intelligent fighter jet!”

Although the Xu family was one of the twelve major families in the country and quite wealthy, most of their wealth was in fixed assets and investments. Their actual liquid assets were indeed less than Luo Feng’s intelligent fighter jet.

“How do you know about the intelligent fighter jet?” Luo Feng was surprised.

Earlier during dinner, Luo Feng had already realized that although Xu Gang and others had tried to hide his identity while overseas… eventually, the truth couldn’t be concealed. After the “War God Palace Auction” incident, Luo Feng’s fame had grown even greater. Xu Xin had learned about this news through the internal forum of the HR Alliance.

“Director Luo,” Xu Xin smiled, “your flying fighter jet is parked at Mingyue Community, yet no pilot enters or exits. Could it be that you are the pilot?”

Luo Feng was at a loss for words.

Pilots? Every flying fighter jet pilot required long-term training. Even the most talented individuals couldn’t become fighter jet pilots without extensive training.

Luo Feng wasn’t a pilot, so the HR Alliance officials naturally guessed that his fighter jet must be an “intelligent one”! Ordinary warriors might not know, but the powerful figures within the HR Alliance were well aware that a “King-Level Intelligent Fighter Jet” had an internal preferential price of 180 billion Huaxia Credits for high-ranking inspectors and investigators within the Limit Martial Arts Gym.

Want to buy one for the major countries or the HR Alliance?

Sure!

Just offer a sufficiently high price. Want to buy it for two trillion? Dream on!

“How about we take a ride in the intelligent fighter jet?” Luo Feng suggested.

Xu Xin couldn’t help but feel tempted but looked at her watch: “It’s getting late. If we go now, we won’t get back until almost 11 or 12.”

“It’ll be quick,” Luo Feng smiled and then ordered, “No. 1, come here.”

“What are you doing?” Xu Xin asked in confusion.

Luo Feng smiled mysteriously and then looked up at the sky.

Xu Xin, puzzled, also looked up.

A streak of light halted above them. It was a deep blue triangular fighter jet slowly descending from the sky. Xu Xin looked up at the triangular jet in the air, her mouth agape in astonishment: “So fast…”

“The intelligent fighter jet’s top speed exceeds ten times the speed of sound. As long as I’m on Earth, I can issue commands from a long distance,” Luo Feng smiled and pulled Xu Xin’s hand. “Come on, let’s go up!” Instantly, blades emerged from Luo Feng’s neck, and 365 blades quickly solidified into the Run Tian Shuttle. Luo Feng stepped onto the Run Tian Shuttle, holding Xu Xin’s hand with one hand and wrapping the other around her waist.

Whoosh!

The Run Tian Shuttle soared upwards, and the hatch of the intelligent fighter jet above automatically opened.

“This… this…” Xu Xin stared in shock at the ground below.

Was she flying?

Then Xu Xin realized—it was Luo Feng who was holding her!

“Xu Xin,” Luo Feng hugged her waist, his body pressed against hers, feeling the warmth radiating from her soft body. He couldn’t help but lower his head and look at her, a surge of emotion rising in his heart. He leaned down… and kissed her.

Caught in the wind mid-air, Xu Xin felt a bit dazed and had her first kiss stolen like this.

Their lips parted.

Luo Feng looked down at Xu Xin’s blushing face and whispered softly, “From now on, you, Xu Xin, are my girlfriend.”

“You’re so domineering,” Xu Xin couldn’t help but glare at him. “What if I don’t agree?”

“I’ll let go, and you’ll fall,” Luo Feng smiled slightly, deliberately loosening his grip slightly.

Xu Xin’s body swayed in alarm. Looking down at the trees and streets far below, she quickly said, “Be careful! We’re at least seventy or eighty meters above the ground.”

“Still want to refuse?” Luo Feng chuckled.

“Hmph,” Xu Xin let out a soft hum with a smile. “I thought you were afraid to confess because you never did all this time.” Indeed… Luo Feng often video chatted with Xu Xin, sometimes for one or two hours. Although they hadn’t explicitly defined their relationship, their conversations had already been like those of a couple.

They were just missing the confession.

“Because in the past, I didn’t have enough strength. I didn’t want you to worry and fear for me,” Luo Feng said softly.

Xu Xin’s eyes slightly reddened, and she buried her face in Luo Feng’s arms.

So…

The intelligent fighter jet hovered in mid-air. Beside it, Luo Feng embraced Xu Xin, his feet on the Run Tian Shuttle. They remained like this for a long time…

…

This night was destined to be extraordinary.

Outside Earth’s atmosphere.

Stars dotted the sky. The vast universe was mysterious, and no one knew what secrets it held.

Whoosh!

A golden streak of light rapidly approached from the cosmic stars, moving at an incredible speed close to the speed of light, directly heading towards Earth! This golden streak quickly pierced through the atmosphere and fell toward Earth!

Earth, the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of nautical miles away from the islands previously known as the “Hawaiian Islands” before the Great Rebirth.

Whoosh!

The golden streak of light cut through the sky and plunged into the sea. Strangely, despite its near-light-speed descent, it didn’t cause the slightest change on the ocean surface, which remained as undulating as before. Not only the ocean surface remained unchanged, but every satellite and monitoring device on Earth failed to detect the golden streak!

Deep in the ocean!

At a depth of over three thousand meters, the golden streak had vanished, leaving behind only an oval black egg about twelve meters in diameter. On the black shell were strange golden patterns. On Earth, so-called “dragon eggs” were only about one meter in diameter.

At this moment—

Silence reigned!

Satellites from every country on Earth, even the special monitoring equipment from ancient ruins, continued to operate normally as usual. Not a single one detected its arrival!
