Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”Alright.”

At that moment, heavy footsteps approached the main hall.

Xu Xingguang raised an eyebrow, turned around, and saw a small... a big pig wearing a camo T-shirt with a large gold chain and ID tag around its neck, striding in boldly with its sturdy limbs.

”Huo Wuyi,” Xu Xingguang called out to Huo Wuyi.

Huo Wuyi heard Xu Xingguang’s voice and, like a person, stopped in its tracks and looked up.

Recognizing her as ”Mom,” Huo Wuyi made pig-like grunts and immediately ran towards Xu Xingguang.

It stood next to the dining chair, affectionately rubbing its snout against Xu Xingguang’s arm.

Xu Xingguang touched its large ears and then patted its considerably thicker back, commenting, ”You’ve gotten sturdier.”

Huo Wuyi wasn’t fat at all.

With a balanced diet and proper exercise, it had grown into a mighty and strong big pig.

Xu Xingguang bent down, supported Huo Wuyi’s belly, and lifted the entire pig up. Feeling the heavy weight in her arms, Xu Xingguang estimated, ”It’s about a hundred pounds now.”

Uncle Xia explained from the side, ”105 pounds.”

”Good boy, following your dad, eating well and growing fast.”

Huo Wuyi grunted, still behaving like a little piglet, acting cute in Xu Xingguang’s arms.

”Put it down, it’s too heavy,” Huo Wen’an hadn’t been held by Xu Xingguang like that, so he was somewhat envious of Huo Wuyi.

Only then did Xu Xingguang let go of Huo Wuyi and lifted the large gold chain around its neck to examine it.

The large gold chain had a wear-resistant gold-plated tag hanging on it, engraved with Huo Wuyi’s identity information, stating—

Huo Wuyi

Big Pig

Male.

Dad Huo Wen’an, Mom Xu Xingguang.

If lost, please call 1XXX...

Generous reward!

Xu Xingguang laughed and asked Uncle Xia, ”Where does it usually live?”

Uncle Xia pointed to the spacious lawn outside the palace and said, ”The swimming pool on the east side of the lawn is its territory. Pilot built a house for it underground, equipped with a shower room, dining area, and playroom. By the way, Wuyi can even go to the toilet by itself.”

When Pilot first brought home a pig and planned to keep it as a pet, Uncle Xia really couldn’t understand it.

Uncle Xia, a native resident of Divine Concealment Island, had been living off fishing for generations, and they didn’t eat pork. But he knew that inland populations used pork as a primary meat source.

Even if someone wanted to keep pigs as pets, they would choose relatively smaller pet pigs.

A big pig like this was said to grow over three hundred pounds.

What use could it possibly have?

However, after witnessing Huo Wuyi’s intelligence, Uncle Xia gradually changed his perspective on this pig. Sometimes after work, while basking in the sun on the lawn, Huo Wuyi would run over to keep him company.

Perhaps it was a sign of growing older, having a pig accompany him made Uncle Xia feel quite lively.

Knowing that Huo Wuyi could even go to the toilet by itself, Xu Xingguang rubbed its ear more vigorously, praising it, ”Our Wuyi is quite promising. Come, show me your home!”

Huo Wuyi could understand Xu Xingguang’s words.

It first ran over to Huo Wen’an, rubbed its snout against Huo Wen’an’s silk pant leg, and then turned to slap Huo Wen’an’s calf with its thick tail.

Huo Wen’an patted its back, saying, ”Go ahead.”

Only then did Huo Wuyi eagerly follow Xu Xingguang to show her its home.

Uncle Xia and the maids had long appreciated Huo Wuyi’s intelligence, but seeing it obediently leading Miss Xu to visit its house, they couldn’t help but murmur: Even pigs are this smart, yet some people still can’t understand words.

Huo Wuyi’s swimming pool was already built, with its pool floor adorned with shiny transparent minerals that sparkled in the sunlight.

Like a bomb, Huo Wuyi jumped into the pool with a crash.

Huo Wuyi swam in the water, paddling its short, thick limbs and having a great time. With nothing else to do, Xu Xingguang moved a chair to the poolside, opened a live streaming room, and started streaming for Huo Wuyi.

Ever since her falling out with You Mingyue, her streaming account had been exposed; now everyone knew Little Star was Xu Xingguang.

Xu Xingguang hadn’t streamed for a long time, and seeing her suddenly go live, her fans, haters, and casual viewers all crowded in.

The streaming room became crowded all at once, with various gifts flying around, making it difficult for fans to even see Huo Wuyi clearly.
