Chapter 0
Three days later, Jiang Xiao left.

Having successfully completed the mission of capturing Nicholas, Jiang Xiao's trip to Kang Ke Jin De had come to an end.

As for the reason... the mastermind behind the scenes had been found. However, everyone did not have the ability to arrest the person immediately.

First of all, that person, or rather, that force, was not in Asia. Although the mastermind was just one person, after a thorough investigation, their hidden identity was enough to represent many things.

Once the problem involved another behemoth, it was not something the Wei Yu Troupe could solve on their own. Putting aside whether they had the ability, the Wei Yu Troupe was simply not qualified.

Next, it was a matter for Kang Ke Jin De and China. Er Wei only needed to report everything truthfully.

Jiang Xiao left with the Black and White Candle Bear, leaving behind the contact information of Ms. Di Lian and researcher Yuan Zhu before leaving.

Hopefully, one day, Ms. Di Lian's expectations could come true, and the country would really restart the Dragon Cave exploration project.

The Northwest and Southwest Star Beast Joint Research Institute had obtained everything they wanted. Next was the cultivation of ordinary Candle Fire and Bamboo Bear combinations. This was a long process, and it was unknown what the final result would be.

Ms. Di Lian simply told Jiang Xiao to keep the communication open, as she might need to consult him on some issues or need his cooperation.

Jiang Xiao naturally agreed, and under the farewell of Hou Mingming and Zhao Wenlong, he boarded the military plane back to the Imperial Capital.

Outside the military plane, Hou Mingming and Zhao Wenlong stood with their hands behind their backs, their postures exactly the same, which made Jiang Xiao lose the interest to wave goodbye.

Sigh... these two, really...

If you don't want to wave goodbye, then don't come, okay? Showing off in the airport?

At this time, if Zhao Wenlong suddenly made a "fly you" gesture to the military plane, it would be very interesting...

Unfortunately, he wasn't that mischievous.

Jiang Xiao curled his lips, retracted his gaze from the window, and secretly complained in his heart: Two uninteresting souls!

The saddest one was Prince Bei Yu. Jiang Xiao had only taught him for more than half a month. In terms of dagger skills alone, Bei Yu was quite satisfied with Jiang Xiao's teaching, but Bei Yu had already taken a fancy to Jiang Xiao's Fang Tian Hua Ji (halberd), but it was a pity that he couldn't learn much, and was scolded by Jiang Xiao.

What's wrong with kids playing with other things, but they have to take the weapon of the God of War?

Look at your broken star chart, like a resentful woman in a boudoir!

You can play with daggers, scissors, white silk, or use poison, gossip, and spread rumors, which can barely be related to the star chart. What are you doing with the Fang Tian Hua Ji?

Have you ever seen a resentful woman take a Fang Tian Hua Ji to stab a mistress?

We have to be reasonable!

...

On the military plane, Jiang Xiao looked at the inner vision star chart boredly, and was quite satisfied with his performance in this stage.

He had investigated the road to the upper dimensions of the snowfield, picked up a little savage in a different ball, cultivated the White Birch Forest team by the way, and the mission on the Shou Ye Army side was also successfully completed. The most important thing was that with the permission of Ms. Di Lian, Jiang Xiao's Black and White Candle Bear could be shown to others!

"Hmm?" Jiang Xiao keenly discovered that in the inner vision star chart, on the fourth largest section, the original "Golden Red Candle Fire Cub (Mutation Black and White, Silver Rank Lv.0)", the word "cub" had disappeared.

In other words, the little guy has finally grown up?

And below, in the first dependence form, "Black and White Candle Bear Cub (Platinum Rank Lv.1)" had not changed. The Bamboo Bear still hadn't entered adulthood? But its size was already so big.

The Calamity Shadow Territory still had a great effect. Before coming to Kang Ke Jin De, before giving the Star Beast Research Institute to observe and study the Black and White Candle Bear, the Yingying Bear had been staying in the Calamity Shadow Territory and growing rapidly.

In the past two months, the size of the Yingying Bear has not changed much.

"Hmm..." Jiang Xiao pondered for a while. After all, this was a transport plane full of star warriors. Jiang Xiao planned to throw the Yingying Bear into the Calamity Shadow Territory the moment he was free to act, and continue to use the rich star power environment to nourish its body.

Speaking of which... Xia Yan and Han Jiangxue also had nearly two months less of Calamity Shadow Territory practice time.

Jiang Xiao sighed in his heart. He didn't know how the two of them were doing now. More than half a month had passed since they last parted.

The good thing was that it was only the end of May, and Jiang Xiao could make it to Hai Tianqing's wedding in late June.

Late at night, the transport plane stopped in two cities and finally arrived at its final destination.

Jiang Xiao didn't know what to say along the way. He even thought he was on a passenger plane.

A military transport plane that stopped midway?

It was fine to stop, but to wait for several hours? This was a passenger plane in a military skin, right?

Jiang Xiao lowered the brim of his training cap, holding the majestic Fang Tian Hua Ji, curled up in the corner, and fell into deep self-isolation...

Never mind if Bei Yu's star chart was a resentful woman in a boudoir, Jiang Xiao must be one at this time.

Even though Jiang Xiao was very low-key, the soldiers getting on and off the military plane also recognized Jiang Xiao's identity, but no one came to ask Jiang Xiao for an autograph.

"Heh..." Jiang Xiao got off the military plane and took a deep breath. The temperature in the Imperial Capital in late May was still okay, or maybe it was because of the late night, it was neither cold nor hot.

Jiang Xiao refused the military vehicle pick-up, and directly used a Space Teleport, disappearing without a trace.

He didn't care if the Earth allowed the use of star techniques or not!

If the higher-ups blamed him, then Er Wei would bear it!

This day's flight journey really suffocated Jiang Xiao. He was eager to return home, so he teleported directly back to the Ban Shan Feng Lin residential area.

The Imperial Capital was not an ordinary big city, especially the distance from the military camp in the western suburbs to the Ban Shan Feng Lin in the southern suburbs, which was not close, but Jiang Xiao still went straight to the rented house of Xia Yan.

At this time, Jiang Xiao's Space Teleport was only diamond quality. He wondered how far he could teleport after it was upgraded again?

If Jiang Xiao could teleport directly from Kang Ke Jin De to the Imperial Capital in the future, it would be perfect!

Goodbye to planes and high-speed rail~

This could greatly save time and costs, and this star technique would even have great strategic value!

No matter which corner of the earth Er Wei asked for help from, Jiang Xiao could arrive in seconds! What level was this!?

This was the top level of catching adulterers... uh, rescue level!

...

The living room of the house was dark, but the kitchen in the distance was lit.

Jiang Xiao was a little surprised and subconsciously looked at the watch. Three o'clock in the morning, sharp.

Did Xia Shiqi secretly get up to eat a midnight snack again?

Jiang Xiao put his schoolbag on the coffee table and carefully put the Fang Tian Hua Ji on the ground, tiptoeing towards the kitchen.

Jiang Xiao wanted to scare Xia Yan, but he saw a distressing scene.

Xia Yan was sitting at the dining table, or rather,趴 (pa - lying prone) on the dining table, with one hand holding chopsticks and the other holding a bowl of noodles, tilting her head and resting her head on the hand holding the chopsticks, sleeping soundly.

She was...

Jiang Xiao quietly walked in. Half of the noodles were left uneaten, and half a noodle was hanging on Xia Yan's face, which was also full of fatigue.

Did she fall asleep while eating?

What did she go to do? So tired?

Jiang Xiao gently patted Xia Yan's back and said softly, "Xia Yan, wake up."

"Hmm..." Xia Yan made a nasal sound in her dream, still sleeping soundly, but it seemed that subconsciously, she smelled the fragrance in the bowl again, and then... she actually moved the chopsticks!

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded. Xia Yan, who was fast asleep, actually started eating noodles again!

Eating and eating, Xia Yan actually woke up!

She opened her sleepy eyes, mumbled her mouth, and looked around blankly.

Jiang Xiao moved the bowl of noodles to the side, and with a little force, snatched it from Xia Yan's hand.

Half asleep and half awake, she was still very protective of her food...

"Little rascal, you're back." Xia Yan looked at Jiang Xiao vaguely, with a vague smile on her face, stood up vaguely, and reached out to hug Jiang Xiao's neck.

Jiang Xiao said, "Should I heat up the noodles for you?"

"No need." Xia Yan's head rested on Jiang Xiao's shoulder, rubbing left and right, the soup on her mouth and the noodles on her face were all smeared on Jiang Xiao's clothes...

Jiang Xiao hesitated again and again, and said, "Why don't you wake up, wash up and then go to sleep."

In his ears, there was Xia Yan's even breathing, and there was no more response.

Awesome, my Yan!

She can sleep while standing?

She can fall asleep while eating noodles, and wake up while dreaming!

She can talk after waking up, and fall asleep again while talking!

How many days and nights has she not slept?

At this time, it was obviously inappropriate to wake her up to wash up.

Jiang Xiao gently picked up Xia Yan and returned to the living room, turning on the Calamity Shadow Territory.

The Calamity Shadow Territory was not only a holy place for cultivation, but also a good place to recuperate.

There was obviously nothing wrong with her body. With such a large Imperial Capital star warrior team and such a large wasteland reclamation apprentice army, it was completely possible to find a medical star warrior to help her heal her body and restore her vitality.

She was so tired, it should be mental fatigue.

Jiang Xiao jumped into the Calamity Shadow Territory and came to the single bed, putting Xia Yan on it.

After thinking about it, Jiang Xiao also summoned the Yingying Bear and the Black and White Candle Fire. He also specifically said to the Black and White Candle Fire: "Don't be naughty! Don't disturb this big sister sleeping!"

"Ugh..." The Black and White Candle Fire jumped out of Jiang Xiao's star chart. Just as it was about to run wild, it was scolded. Suddenly, the Black and White Candle Fire was unhappy, pouting, and lowering its head (face).

Ring~ Ring~

Two Swaying Bells floated down. Reunited with old friends, they were extremely happy, circling around the Black and White Candle Fire: "Yi Yi~"

"Go play over there, play as you like, just don't disturb her." Jiang Xiao squatted down and smiled, pinching the Q elastic little face of the Black and White Candle Fire.

"Ugh!" The Black and White Candle Fire was happy again, the pair of candle eyes burned more vigorously, chasing the two Swaying Bells, jumping and running away.

Beside Jiang Xiao, only one Yingying Bear remained.

As for the Yingying Bear... there was nothing to tell it. Jiang Xiao was still interacting with the Black and White Candle Fire, and the Yingying Bear had already fallen asleep on the ground...

Jiang Xiao put his hands on his hips and looked helplessly at the furry, round Yingying Bear, and could only shake his head and sigh.

Jiang Xiao turned his head and looked at Xia Yan sleeping soundly on the bed. He still didn't trust other medical star warriors, so he raised his right hand and threw a Silver Blessing at Xia Yan.

"Hmm..." Xia Yan mumbled in her dream, whispered softly, turned over, and continued to sleep soundly.

Jiang Xiao jumped out of the Calamity Shadow Territory, put the Fang Tian Hua Ji in it, and closed the space door casually.

In the Calamity Shadow Territory, it was quiet, and there was a faint sound of bells.

One minute later, the door of the Calamity Shadow Territory opened again, and Jiang Xiao jumped in with Han Jiangxue sleeping in his arms.

He just wanted to see Han Jiangxue's state. As expected, in her bedroom, Jiang Xiao saw Han Jiangxue with the same tired face...

There was only one single bed, and Jiang Xiao couldn't kick Xia Yan off.

In a dilemma, Jiang Xiao saw the round one lying on the ground.

"Well, you are still a bit useful." Jiang Xiao carefully put Han Jiangxue down and let her lie down, leaning on the furry body of the Yingying Bear.

He took off his Shou Ye Army uniform, draped his coat over her, and closed the door of the Calamity Shadow Territory.

Looking at the two of them sleeping soundly, Jiang Xiao was secretly puzzled in his heart. What mission did they go to perform?
