Chapter 1137: Ai Mose

Central Zone of Xia Meng, temporary headquarters of the Silver Moon Guild.

The last rays of the sunset streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, gilding the entire room in a warm golden hue.

Leng Yuexi sat on a leather sofa, her slender fingers idly tracing the crimson bracelet on her left wrist.

The bracelet's surface flowed with patterns like molten lava, occasionally flashing with a faint glimmer.

"This Embrace of the Burning Sun..." she murmured softly, her gaze distant.

A perfect-grade elemental weapon had already stunned her.

But she never expected that when she infused her fire affinity into the Embrace of the Burning Sun, she received a complete legacy of a Supreme Being!

It even included an SSS-grade Spirit Refinement technique and a unique SSR-grade fire combat art.

"Are you still thinking about the gift Jingming gave you?"

Leng Yuechan walked out of the kitchen carrying a tea tray, giggling.

Today she wore casual attire; her long, slender legs in denim shorts glowed with an almost luminous pallor, radiating youthful charm.

Hearing this, Leng Yuexi snapped back to reality, a faint blush rising on her cheeks:

"It's just too valuable—a perfect-grade elemental weapon, even damaged, would be priceless at auction.

And inside it... there's an entire legacy belonging to a Supreme Being..."

"I checked the records—this Embrace of the Burning Sun was the elemental weapon of Master Rui Tian from the Second Civilization Era.

And Master Rui Tian still has one living student: the Flame Divine Sovereign of the Ember World."

Leng Yuechan relayed the information she had just uncovered.

"The Flame Divine Sovereign?"

Leng Yuexi's shy expression gradually turned Solemn. "I know him—this Supreme Being is always tyrannical, and he already had tensions with Jingming.

If he learns the Embrace of the Burning Sun is in my hands, he'll bring Jingming serious trouble."

After hesitating a moment, she could no longer sit still: "No, I must return this Embrace of the Burning Sun."

She originally intended to contact Xu Jingming directly, but couldn't reach him, so she came to his chancellor's villa in Xia Meng.

Though she still didn't see Xu Jingming, she met Ai Mose.

"Since it was given by Xu Jingming, just keep it."

Ai Mose said softly upon learning the sisters' purpose.

Her injuries had fully healed; her pale golden eyes, like amber, were covered by a black silk ribbon.

To avoid overwhelming the two sisters with the pressure of her SSS-grade ability, "Eyes of Fate."

As for Leng Yuexi's concerns, she paid them little mind.

Flame Divine Sovereign Lei Ding is merely Starlight Stage Two—he poses no real threat to Xu Jingming.

More than these worries, what truly concerned her were Leng Yuexi and Leng Yuechan.

She had thought Xu Jingming's romantic entanglements were already numerous, yet here emerged another pair of sisters.

"I heard you two met Xu Jingming in Myanmar. Can you tell me about that experience?"

Ai Mose asked softly.

For some reason, though she had already read all the records about Xu Jingming's past,

she couldn't help but want to understand it more clearly.

"Of course."

Seeing Ai Mose wasn't troubled, Leng Yuexi sighed in relief and began recounting with a radiant smile.

Perhaps because Ai Mose had lowered her aura, or perhaps because she recalled the details of her adventures with Xu Jingming,

she occasionally broke into genuine smiles as she spoke.

"Speaking of it, Jingming's had it hard.

Both parents dead—he had to build everything himself.

Myanmar? That's no place for someone of his level to be adventuring."

After recounting the entire story, Leng Yuexi concluded.

"That's true."

Ai Mose nodded slightly, recalling the files she had read about Xu Jingming.

Parents dead; upon entering university, he immediately plunged into the Wild Zones, battling cults.

Later, at Lei Ting Martial Hall, he always took on the most dangerous missions.

Even after winning the National Talent Exchange Championship, he still went to train in the perilous Dayangzhou.

The hardships along his path were plain even to her—let alone the dangers he personally endured.

"Perhaps it's precisely because his cultivation is so dangerous and intense that he acts that way."

Recalling the scene she had witnessed in the villa, Ai Mose suddenly understood.

For a prodigy like Xu Jingming, constantly immersed in killing, sometimes he truly needs an outlet.

"I should treat him better."

Thinking of how she had once struck Xu Jingming, Ai Mose felt regret—and resolved to find a chance to make amends.

After all, it wasn't Xu Jingming's fault—it was just the basic ability of the Ziwei Eye...

As she pondered this, a thunderous roar exploded from outside:

"Xu Jingming! Come out here!"

The aura of a Supreme Being was unmasked—Leng Yuexi and her sister turned deathly pale.

"Wait in the room."

Ai Mose's expression instantly turned cold; her figure vanished from where she stood.

When he reappeared, he was already in midair outside the Xia Meng Tower.

Several hundred meters ahead of her, a sea of crimson fire floated in the sky, the surrounding air warped by intense heat.

Lei Ding stood at the very center of the fire sea, his eyes filled with boundless rage.

The palpable pressure made all psychics within a radius of several kilometers struggle to breathe.

"Lei Ding, what do you want in Great Xia?"

The black ribbon on Bai Xi's fair, delicate face had vanished; her pale golden eyes regarded him coldly.

"Bai Xi, this has nothing to do with you."

Xu Jingming tricked me with a fake Embrace of the Blazing Sun—I'm merely settling accounts with him."

Lei Ding snorted coldly.

"Xu Jingming is my student—how could this not concern me?"

Bai Xi's slender eyebrows lifted slightly, refusing to yield an inch.

"Bai Xi, we both come from the Ember World—do you truly mean to block me?"

After a moment of silence, Lei Ding spoke again.

"It's not me blocking you—it's you who has gone too far."

Bai Xi's eyes blazed with golden light, her long hair shimmering brilliantly in the sunset's glow.

To come to the Xia Meng Headquarters and curse the Grand Councilor Xu Jingming is already a direct insult.

"Too far? You, a mere Starlight Stage One, dare call me excessive?"

Lei Ding, infuriated by Bai Xi's repeated interference, looked down at her and sneered:

"Don't push your luck. Don't think being the High Priestess of the Ember Sanctum gives you license to act as you please."

"What of the Ember Sanctum? I'd like to see how you, Bai Xi, plan to stop me!"

In truth, he had long despised Bai Xi.

He was the first Supreme Power of the Ember World.

Yet after Bai Xi appeared, all eyes in the Ember World turned to her.

When she led the Ember World back to Blue Star, she was revered by the entire Ember World!

To a man as domineering as him, this was utterly unacceptable.

After all, in strength, he was far superior to Bai Xi.

"World-Ending Crimson Lotus!"

Boom!!

With Lei Ding's roar, a crimson lotus of flame, hundreds of meters tall, slowly took shape in the sky.
