Max Level Return—I'll Protect That Fragile One

”But I’m not speaking nonsense either. Miss Jin is indeed making things difficult for me because of my relationship with you. As your student, naturally, I can’t lose face.” Xingguang said confidently.

Hearing this, Elder Tan Nan did not reprimand her, only said, ”You did the right thing. She’s just a little girl from the City Lord Mansion, not enough to pose a threat to me. You are my student, and your identity as Elder Tan Nan’s disciple is always going to carry more weight than being the daughter of Golden Gate City’s City Lord.”

With Elder Tan Nan’s words, Xingguang felt relieved.

”I’m sorry, Granny Nan, I’ve caused you trouble.” Xingguang’s apology was sincere.

Elder Tan Nan, with a half-smile, said, ”You girl, always rebellious, no one can bully you. Even if you’re not my disciple, if someone gives you a hard time, you would still fight back immediately. No need to apologize with false sincerity, I find it amusing.”

Elder Tan Nan was straightforward, so Xingguang didn’t put up a pretense. ”Granny Nan, I was worried they might make you unhappy because of me. After all, this started because of me, and I genuinely feel bad about it.”

Looking at Xingguang’s eyes, which were more sincere than before, Elder Tan Nan felt comforted and shook her head, saying, ”It’s alright, they are in the wrong. But as for you...”

Elder Tan Nan had already seen the video of Xingguang embarrassing Jin Nuoyan in Mule Mall, and she was quite concerned about Xingguang being a Super Power User. ”How did you become a Super Power User?”

Xingguang simply said, ”I’m not sure either, one day I just woke up and found out I could move things without touching them.”

Elder Tan Nan frowned, saying in surprise, ”Logically, the Mortal World is a polluted field, and those left behind in the Mortal World were all infected without being able to awaken any superpower. How did you awaken a superpower?”

Unable to find an answer for the moment, Elder Tan Nan just waved her hand at Xingguang, saying, ”Alright, never mind, you can go back now. Oh, by the way.”

Remembering something, Elder Tan Nan told Xingguang, ”A distinguished guest from the Divine Hidden Continent will visit Wuyuan Town at noon tomorrow, specifically asking to see you.”

Hearing this news, Xingguang was also a bit surprised, ”Granny Nan, do you know who this honored person is?”

”I’m not sure.” Elder Tan Nan didn’t know the specific identity of the other person, but she had already received a call from the high management of the Central Yu Alliance, instructing her to prepare for the highest level of reception for the guest.

Thinking about it, the other party should be some significant figure from the Divine Hidden Alliance.

”Alright, I understand.”

Xingguang, holding the unfinished spicy rabbit dish, was about to leave, but Elder Tan Nan said, ”You can go, but leave the food behind.”

Xingguang was taken aback for a moment, then explained, ”I’ll prepare other dishes tomorrow and bring them over for you to taste then.”

Only then did Elder Tan Nan’s expression brighten, ”In that case, take it with you.”

Carrying the pot of spicy rabbit, Xingguang headed back via the path through the town’s leisure park. Aunt Zhao and the others, having finished dinner, were strolling in the park together.

Seeing Xingguang holding a pot of something, they all thought it might be some precious herbs, but the aroma wafting from the gap in the lid was truly mouthwatering.

Aunt Zhao and the others swarmed around, asking Xingguang what was inside the pot.

Xingguang opened the lid, and instantly, the tantalizing spicy aroma spread out, capturing everyone’s attention.

”Is this for eating? Miss Xu, is this a delicacy from your Mortal World?”

”Yes.” Xingguang said, ”This dish is called spicy rabbit, a famous delicacy from the Chuancheng area of the Mortal World. Would you all like to try it?”

”Yes, yes, yes!”

Xingguang used the communal chopsticks to pick a piece for each of them.

After tasting it, Aunt Zhao and the others couldn’t stop praising it. After eating a piece, Aunt Zhao wanted more, but the spicy rabbit in Xingguang’s pot had been all distributed.

Recalling the taste, Aunt Zhao suddenly sighed, ”Although the technological and cultural development of the Mortal World is behind ours, the happiness index of the people there might not be lower than ours.”

”Take this delicacy.” Aunt Zhao shook her head and sighed, ”Anyone who has tasted a well-cooked meal would never find nutrients flavorful. After all, it all comes down to the lack of land resources and food supply in the Divine Martial Realm, forcing us to develop nutrients to replace cuisine.”

”Pity those children who can only rely on nutrients from birth.”

Xingguang had always known about the resource scarcity in the Divine Martial Realm; otherwise, the Eastern Alliance wouldn’t have targeted the Infected Zone.
