Chapter 776: Leng Yuexi

May 15, 3:00 a. m.

Most citizens of the supercity Nixi had fallen asleep, but the Leng Yuexi sisters waited anxiously in the villa.

"Only three hours until dawn—why hasn't Jingming returned?"

Leng Yuexi furrowed her delicate brows, her white, lovely face filled with worry.

The competition was secondary; if Xu Jingming encountered trouble in the Wildlands, it would be disastrous.

"Sister, don't worry—your junior has a Grade Nine protective talisman; he'll be fine."

Leng Yuechan spoke up to comfort her.

"More than ten days ago, the aura of a Grade Nine Beast Emperor appeared near Nixi."

"A Grade Nine Beast Emperor—even with a Grade Nine protective talisman, Jingming couldn't withstand it."

Leng Yuexi shook her head, an indelible sorrow lingering in her eyes.

To return in time, Xu Jingming must have been in the Wildlands not far from Nixi.

The Grade Nine protective talisman awarded in the Talent Competition is a one-time consumable.

If he were unlucky enough to encounter that Grade Nine Beast Emperor, just two more attacks would shatter it.

"This..."

Leng Yuechan fell silent.

She too knew about the Grade Nine Beast Emperor that had appeared near Nixi recently.

The entire city had even entered Level One alert status—only lifted two days ago.

Time passed slowly as Leng Yuexi paced anxiously inside the villa.

Her beautiful eyes constantly scanned beyond the open villa gate, yet still no sign of Xu Jingming.

"No, he promised to be back tonight."

"It's already past three a. m. —if Jingming hasn't returned, something must have happened."

Leng Yuexi could wait no longer: "Xiao Chan, contact Commander Chen Xiu for me."

"Tell him to immediately gather all members of the Azure Fox Legion and wait for me at the square in front of the Guild."

"Commander Chen Xiu?" Leng Yuechan froze.

The Spirit Fox Guild, being multinational, naturally had its own legion.

That was the Azure Fox Legion—and Chen Xiu was its Grand Commander, overseeing the entire force, ranked at Grade Eight Mid.

"Sister, you want to take the legion into the Wildlands to find Junior Jingming?"

Leng Yuechan immediately understood her sister's intent, but hesitated:

"But Commander Chen Xiu currently supports Big Brother Leng Shu. He may not obey your orders."

Chen Xiu was also an elder of the Spirit Fox Guild.

After Father Leng Cang hinted at choosing an heir, he immediately sided with Big Brother Leng Shu.

"Big Brother Leng Shu?"

Leng Yuexi's gaze sharpened; without hesitation, she said:

"Then call Big Brother. If he's willing to deploy the Azure Fox Legion to assist me, I'll give up my claim to the inheritance."

She had limited power alone, but the Azure Fox Legion had two thousand members—each at least a Grade Three Adept!

There were also numerous Grade Five and Six Adepts, plus ten Grade Seven Masters.

With their help entering the Wildlands, the chance of finding Xu Jingming would rise dramatically.

"Give up your claim to the inheritance?"

Leng Yuechan widened her eyes, stunned by her sister's decisiveness.

After a deep breath, her gaze hardened slightly as she nodded: "Understood. I'll call Big Brother right away."

"Jingming, please don't get hurt..."

Leng Yuexi stepped to the villa's entrance, her white, lovely face gazing absentmindedly at the sky.

She desperately hoped to see that familiar golden glow in the heavens.

Whether or not her longing had any effect, a golden speck suddenly appeared in the pitch-black sky.

The golden speck flew swiftly, drawing nearer, soon swelling from a pinpoint to the size of a ping-pong ball.

The golden speck of light flew very fast, approaching from afar, and in no time at all it swelled from a single speck to the size of a ping-pong ball.

Leng Yuexi paused, then her face lit up with joy.

Leng Yuexi was momentarily stunned, and once she reacted, a trace of delight immediately surfaced on her pretty face.

He's back!

"Xiao Chan, don't call Big Brother—Jingming's back!"

Leng Yuexi kept her eyes locked on the golden streak, not turning as she spoke to Leng Yuechan.

"Dū—dū—dū... Hello, Xiao Chan? What do you need?"

On the other end, after three rings, the call was answered—Leng Shu's voice came through.

On the other end, after the phone rang three times, the call was answered, and Leng Shu's voice came through from the other side.

In the living room, Leng Yuechan quickly hung up and ran to the villa's front gate.

Leng Yuechan in the living room hurriedly hung up the phone and jogged to the villa's front door.

Xu Jingming landed in the villa's courtyard, his golden Lei Ting receding, revealing his tall, muscular frame.

Xu Jingming landed in the courtyard before the villa, the golden Lei Ting over his entire body receding, revealing his tall, Gao Da, and sturdy build.

A cry of delight rang out, followed by a rush of fragrance—before Xu Jingming could react.

A delighted cry rang out, and a wave of fragrance swept over him. Xu Jingming hadn't even had time to react.

Leng Yuexi had already thrown herself into his arms.

He felt the soft, delicate body in his embrace, and the astonishing, oppressive fullness pressed against his chest.

Xu Jingming was dumbfounded.

What was going on?

"Tsk tsk, with an S-rank charm like yours, beauties throw themselves into your arms wherever you go.

But Leng Yuexi's ability isn't bad either—an S-rank fire-type ability. The children you two have will definitely have astonishing talent."

Eva's teasing voice sounded in his mind; she was still obsessed with having babies.

"I thought something had happened to you in the wilderness.

I was about to give up fighting for the inheritance and beg Big Brother to mobilize the legion to search for you in the wilderness."

Leng Yuechan's crisp voice came from behind, a faint trace of envy in her eyes.

"Xiao Chan! What are you saying!"

Only now did Leng Yuexi realize her gesture had been a bit too intimate.

She pulled away from Xu Jingming's embrace and, her pretty face slightly flushed, turned to scold her younger sister Leng Yuechan.

"So that's how it was." Xu Jingming hadn't expected Leng Yuexi would go that far for him.

Just because she worried he might have run into trouble, she was willing to give up the inheritance.

"Sorry, I ran into an eighth-tier king-class fierce beast on the way and it took a bit of time."

Looking at the beautiful woman before him, Xu Jingming spoke apologetically.

This gesture, however, made the usually cool-big-sister-type Leng Yuexi feel embarrassed, and she hurriedly waved her hands:

"No, no, I just misunderstood.

You're back, that's what matters. Let's go, back to the villa first to discuss tactics for the nine o'clock match."

"Alright."

Xu Jingming nodded and followed the two women into the villa.

"Baffling."

On the other side, Leng Shu, whose call had been hung up, wore a look of displeasure.

"What's wrong?" someone beside him asked.

"Nothing, it's that little brat Leng Yuechan—probably trying to disrupt our tactical arrangements."

Leng Shu shook his head and set his phone aside.

"The Young Lady's side doesn't have enough people, and now with Grandmaster Wu joining them, they can't possibly beat us."

Beside Leng Shu were six people in total; among them, a man in a long robe with a handlebar mustache said with a smile.

He was Chen Xiu, the Grand Commander of the Blue Fox Legion of the Spirit Fox Guild.

"Indeed." Leng Shu looked at the people before him, and a confident smile inevitably appeared on his face.

Wu Xuan, an eighth-tier upper Weida Master Zongshi!

On top of that, there was himself and Chen Xiu, two eighth-tier Zhongweida Sect Masters!

This inheritance struggle, he was sure to win!

"Don't worry, that seat will definitely be yours, Young Master. Even if the Young Lady has hired some Xu Jingming, it's useless."

The eighth-tier upper Weida Master Zongshi Wu Xuan was also among them, speaking with a faint smile.

"Well said!"

"The position of Guild Leader will definitely be the Young Master's!"

"An early congratulations to the Young Master on becoming the Guild Leader of our Spirit Fox Guild."

"..."

After Wu Xuan, the remaining eighth-tier Weida Sect Masters also hurriedly raised their glasses to offer congratulations.

"Good! For the nine o'clock match later, I'll be counting on all of you!"

Leng Shu raised his glass and drained it in one hearty gulp!
