Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Divine Xia Country is the fifth world that Xu Xingguang reincarnated into. Before this, she had already experienced the Food World, the Beast Taming World, the Medicine World, and the male-dominated Ancient Country Era.

She lived to the age of 78, dying of natural causes in the Food World; to 160 in the Beast Taming World; to 280 in the Medicine World; and to 69 in the Ancient Country Era.

Strictly speaking, the year she was born in the Marshal Mansion of Divine Xia Country, Xu Xingguang was already a six-hundred-year-old monster.

Raised in the Marshal Mansion since childhood, she was taught by the teachers her father selected for her from the age of three. She had to learn both cultural knowledge and receive martial training.

When Xu Xingguang was 9, her mother died unexpectedly, and she began living a military life with her father.

Wherever the Marshal’s army went, Xu Xingguang lived there, and her teachers moved there too. Though she was from the Capital City, she was unfamiliar with it.

Years later, the Monarch became bedridden with illness, and the Marshal took her back to the Capital City, to Royal City to pay homage to the Monarch.

That was the first time she saw the Prince.

The small boy was sitting upright in his chair, his height still shorter than the chair, looking like a little bean sprout.

He wore a gold-brown small suit, his pretty and handsome little face stern, holding a pen and handling state documents under the guidance of his literature teacher.

To meet the Monarch, the usually unkempt Marshal specially ordered someone to dress up Xu Xingguang.

She wore a dress with a ladylike design and flat sandals, awkwardly standing behind the Marshal.

She couldn’t help but tug at her skirt, irritated by the wind beneath, feeling uncomfortable.

That reincarnation of Xu Xingguang had inherited the looks of her painter mother, whose fingers never touched spring water, with a bright and seductive face, but her gaze and aura resembled her father.

This impressive presence made it difficult for people to look directly at her.

As soon as she entered the Monarch’s palace, she was noticed by the young boy.

The young boy tightly gripped the pen in his hand, forgetting to write, as he asked Xu Xingguang in surprise, ”Are you the fiancée my father chose for me?”

”Fiancée?” Xu Xingguang asked her father, ”Dad, when did you find me a fiancé?” Pointing at the small boy on the chair, she curled her lips disdainfully and said, ”I don’t play by the parental orders and arranged marriage deal.”

The Marshal’s face turned dark, quickly reminding Xu Xingguang, ”This is the Prince.”

Xu Xingguang then gave a standard military salute to the little boy on the luxurious chair, ”Good morning, Your Highness.”

The young boy was somewhat stunned, asking the Marshal, ”Marshal Lin, is this lady your daughter?”

Marshal Lin laughed heartily, putting his arm around Xu Xingguang’s shoulder, introducing to the young boy, ”Your Highness is truly smart, you guessed it right. She is my only daughter, named Lin Piaopiao, grew up with me, doesn’t understand the Capital City customs, doesn’t know monarch etiquette. Please don’t be mad at her.”

”Lin Piaopiao.” The young boy probed Xu Xingguang’s eyebrows filled with killing intent and blazing fire, commenting, ”It’s a nice name.”

After returning to the city, Xu Xingguang only stayed briefly in the Capital City for half a month before following Marshal Lin back to the battlefield.

Two years later, Marshal Lin died in battle, and 17-year-old Xu Xingguang vowed to join the army, becoming a regular soldier in the Lin Family Army. Holding Marshal Lin’s ashes, she returned to the Capital City, where the newly enthroned Little Monarch personally went to the airport to greet her.

He looked a bit taller than two years ago, but when he looked at Xu Xingguang, he still had to gaze upward.

That year, both of them lost their fathers.

Xu Xingguang took only three years to climb from a low-level soldier to the Young Marshal of Lin Family Army.

At 20, Xu Xingguang led Lin Family Army back to the Capital City barracks, heading to Divine Xia Country’s royal family to meet the Monarch.

She wore a military uniform, bearing the Lin Family Army’s emblem on her shoulder, kneeling on one knee, calling out just like her father used to, ”Lin Piaopiao of Lin Family Army, greets His Majesty.”

The young Monarch stood up from his throne, ignoring the surprised looks from his officials, walked up to her, leaning down, supporting her arm, lifting her up.

Xu Xingguang suddenly realized her young Monarch had grown much taller, able to meet her gaze.

He asked her, ”Young Marshal Lin, would you be willing to lead Lin Family Army to fulfill your father’s wish, becoming Divine Xia Country’s National Defense Army?”

”Lin Family Army is willing to become Divine Xia Country’s National Defense Army.” Suddenly changing her tone, Xu Xingguang boldly questioned Divine Hidden Crane in front of all the major officials of Divine Xia Country, ”We are warriors, protecting the nation is our mission. But Lin Family Army’s soldiers, are all people made of flesh and blood. I wonder if His Majesty is worth Lin Family Army charging for you?”
