Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

Ying Huai and Ying Zhongmei carefully took the token with both hands and hung it around their necks. Without this item, they wouldn’t be able to enter the Medicine King Tower or the Divine Martial Realm.

Then, looking at Xu Xingguang, she received the token with one hand, felt it, and casually tossed it into her canvas bag.

That careless demeanor irritated Ying Jing again.

”Tomorrow night, at nine o’clock sharp, we will open the Medicine King Tower and head to the Divine Martial Realm!”

Seeing the contestants coming out, Ying Huai with a black round token hanging around his neck, Zheng Lie quickly put down his teacup, ”Pilot, the lady is out.”

Huo Wen’an had already stood up and went to greet Xu Xingguang.

Huo Wen’an noticed that Ying Huai and another lady both had the same style black round token hanging around their necks, with an image of the Medicine King Tower on it, while Xu Xingguang did not.

He then asked Xu Xingguang, ”Xingguang, where is your token?”

He was certain Xu Xingguang had made it into the top three.

Ying Huai glanced at Xu Xingguang’s canvas bag and reminded her, ”Sister Xingguang, you can’t lose the token, you need to keep it safe.” Ying Huai quickly sneaked a glance at Huo Wen’an and then ran off with the token around his neck.

Only then did Xu Xingguang take the token out from her canvas bag and casually tossed it into the air.

Huo Wen’an caught the token and said, ”There’s a power inside this token.” After regaining Divine Hidden Crane’s memory, Huo Wen’an’s sensing power far exceeded before.

Upon touching the round token, he felt a faint power slide past his fingertips.

He said, ”This round token should have the power of the Medicine King infused in it.”

Nodding, Xu Xingguang recounted the story of Ying Jing disguising as Old Madam Ying to Huo Wen’an and the others.

After listening, Huo Wen’an said, ”So this token was given by that woman? As long as you have this token, you can enter the Divine Martial Realm?”

”It should be like that.”

Huo Wen’an furrowed his brows and said, ”The barrier between the Divine Martial Realm and the Mortal World was established by the top superpower users two thousand years ago. Holding a round token with the Medicine King’s power wave can enter the Divine Martial Realm’s Ying Family.”

”Perhaps having a passage token with other superpower user’s power wave can enter other factions of the Divine Martial Realm.” A trace of shadow flickered in Huo Wen’an’s eyes as he said, ”It seems that as long as you have a passage token, you can enter the Divine Martial Realm.”

Xu Xingguang glanced at Huo Wen’an and asked him, ”What are you thinking?”

Huo Wen’an tossed the token back into Xu Xingguang’s arms and suddenly asked, ”That woman named Ying Jing, where is she?”

Xu Xingguang was taken aback, then smiled, ”She wants to personally escort us to the Divine Martial Realm, she will stay in the Ying Family until departure.”

”That’s fine.”

At night.

Ying Jing was sleeping in a daze when her neck suddenly felt cold.

When that cold object pressed against her neck, she felt a surge of fear.

Although she wasn’t a combatant superpower user, she was still a strong person who had awakened a superpower, even though her ability was the rather useless ’assisting plant growth.’

But as long as a person awakens a superpower, their sensory abilities are generally stronger than ordinary people. In the unfamiliar Mortal World, her vigilance was already heightened.

However, she hadn’t noticed anyone entering her room! Ying Jing opened her eyes and saw a man in black standing by the bed, his figure and appearance almost completely blending into the night, with only a vague silhouette visible.

Ying Jing looked at her neck, unable to clearly see whether the weapon pressed against her was a sword or a dagger.

”What do you want to do?” Ying Jing pretended to be calm, ”I am the escort sent by the Ying Family. After tomorrow night, if I haven’t Returned Home, the Ying Family will definitely investigate my situation.”

”By then, you’ll regret it.”

”Who said I’m going to kill you?” Huo Wen’an stepped onto the bed, using the Divine Hidden Sword to restrain Ying Jing’s movements.

”I came to ask for something from you.”

Ying Jing was stunned. ”What?”

”The passage token, do you still have any?”

Ying Jing’s eyes flickered slightly.

She never expected someone to target the passage token. ”No.” Ying Jing sneered, ”Do you think the Divine Martial Realm is a place you can just go to as you please?”

”The passage token is extremely precious, and I only brought three on this trip.”

Afraid Huo Wen’an wouldn’t believe her, Ying Jing, holding back her humiliation, whispered, ”I am insignificant within the Ying Family, just a little errand runner coming to the Mortal World. Each family has only a fixed number of passage tokens.”
