Everyone chose to return directly to Earth instead of going back to the supply point.

After a journey that wasn't too long, Hai Tianqing brought the team to the entrance of the Arsenal and instructed, "Don't provoke anyone, don't make any sudden moves. Keep your hands up. You've already been through enough trouble."

"Relax," Xia Yan drawled.

With that, Hai Tianqing raised his hands high and disappeared into the portal ahead.

Jiang Xiao stood in the grassland, looking back at the beautiful and pleasant environment of the Arsenal. He couldn't imagine how dangerous it was.

In comparison, the extreme environment of the snowy plains was more "comfortable."

Jiang Xiao raised his hands and walked out, only to be greeted by countless dark gun muzzles.

Although there were guardians guarding the edge of the forest, and the space door opened in the Arsenal's grassland, under normal circumstances, the Savage and Ape-Ghost teams only lived in the forest.

However, there was still a double layer of insurance here. If any extra-dimensional creatures bypassed the gatekeepers inside the Arsenal and accidentally entered Earth, they would face a frenzied barrage of gunfire.

Jiang Xiao stood at the bottom of the deep pit, swallowed, and looked up at the surroundings. Layers of firearms from low to high were aimed at him.

"Go, don't stop." Xia Yan's voice came from behind. She raised her left hand and patted Jiang Xiao's back with her right, gently pushing him forward.

Under the guidance of two soldiers, the group walked through the sewer they had come through and finally returned to the egg-shaped building.

After showering and washing up in the changing room and changing into clean clothes, the group finally walked out under the care of the soldiers.

So cold.

Jiang Xiao couldn't help shivering. Although he was wearing enough clothes, the climate in Beijiang at the end of November couldn't compare with the pleasant climate of the Arsenal.

There were no sunrises or sunsets in the Arsenal. The sun was always hanging in the same position, which was very strange.

When everyone came out, it was already noon.

Even at noon, the temperature in Beijiang Province was still very low.

"This mission was quite successful. You've seen the environment of the Arsenal, and you've personally experienced the characteristics and habits of the Savage and Ape-Ghost species." Hai Tianqing drove away slowly, his voice returning to its usual warmth. "And you've experienced several battles, and the team has worked together well. What you've gained is far more than you think."

There was silence all the way. The children seemed a little tired until the car slowly stopped at the entrance of the Garden District. Hai Tianqing in the driver's seat turned to look at the siblings. "Alright, take a day off and report to school the day after tomorrow. Attend classes as normal."

"Xuexue, come home with me," Xia Yan said, clinging to Han Jiangxue's arm pleadingly.

"I'll go home and rest for a while, and change my clothes. It's already very cold," Han Jiangxue said softly. "I'll go to your house when I go to school the day after tomorrow and let you guide Xiao Pi."

"Oh dear, what clothes?" Xia Yan said quickly. "Let's go shopping and buy some."

"You're really clingy," Jiang Xiao muttered. Taking advantage of Xia Yan's lack of reaction, he quickly opened the car door and got out.

"Hehe." Han Jiangxue covered her mouth and smiled, rubbed Xia Yan's head, and opened the car door as well.

Xia Yan's face was puffed up with anger. That damned Jiang Xiao, always ruining my good deeds.

"Seriously, Xuexue, it's almost winter, and I should change my clothes too," Xia Yan said, holding Han Jiangxue's arm and begging, "And we have to sell the Star Beads we got in the Arsenal. You have to go with me. I don't want to go shopping or to the commercial bank all alone."

"Um..." Han Jiangxue was a little embarrassed. Everyone wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, throw the Star Beads to Xia Yan, and be done with it.

Han Jiangxue knew that according to Xia Yan's personality, she would also hand the Star Beads over to her family and let her family handle the rest.

After thinking about it again and again, Han Jiangxue still felt that she shouldn't trouble Xia's parents, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"Yeah~" Xia Yan cheered happily. If there weren't people around, she would have been lying on the back seat, frolicking and rolling around.

"Xiao Pi, come back, we're going with Xia Yan," Han Jiangxue said to Jiang Xiao outside the car window.

"Uh, I'd better go home. I'm very tired and want to sleep. I'll be on time for school the day after tomorrow," Jiang Xiao waved his hand and refused.

Han Jiangxue frowned. She had a lot of things she wanted to talk to Jiang Xiao about. Why would Jiang Xiao reject her?

Was he really that tired?

Han Jiangxue's heart softened. Thinking about Jiang Xiao's experience in the Arsenal, she was hesitant between taking Jiang Xiao away and letting Jiang Xiao be alone.

He had grown up. Since he wanted to be quiet, maybe she should really respect his choice?

After thinking about it again and again, Han Jiangxue nodded and said, "Alright."

Xia Yan became vigilant. Something out of the ordinary must be a demon!

What was wrong with this younger brother?

Why wasn't he protecting his sister?

Something was wrong!

Did he want to cover his tracks and do something shady?

Xia Yan hugged Han Jiangxue's arm tightly. In any case, the result was very good.

Therefore, Xia Yan unexpectedly didn't tease Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao waved goodbye to the car and watched Hai Tianqing drive away before turning around and walking into the Garden District.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go back to Xia Yan's house to train, but because he had seen something extraordinary.

In his line of sight, a black sedan was parked far away on the right side of the main road inside the district.

Jiang A0s686?

Was this woman still here?

Or... did she not want to drive anymore? Had someone picked her up?

Filled with doubts, Jiang Xiao quickly walked over, his eyes widened. In the distant center of the district, the car was still parked in the same spot as that night, without moving.

If it is a blessing, not a curse. If it is a curse, it cannot be avoided.

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath, strode forward, and as he took out his access card to open the stairwell door, a small motorcycle chased after him.

Click.

Jiang Xiao had just opened the door when he heard the voice of a delivery guy behind him, "Wait, wait."

"Ah." Jiang Xiao leaned against the stairwell door and turned to look at the delivery guy in blue uniform. His work clothes and blue helmet had three large characters written on them: "Not Full Yet."

"It's after 3 p.m. Is this lunch or dinner?" Jiang Xiao asked idly, starting a conversation.

The delivery guy parked his motorcycle, carried two large bags, and ran over in a hurry. "Thank you, thank you. Who knows, but this customer ordered quite a bit. It should be a gathering of friends."

Jiang Xiao let the delivery guy in, walked to the elevator entrance, and said while waiting for the elevator to come down, "Smells really good."

The delivery guy smiled and didn't respond.

"What kind of delicious food is it? I'm already hungry from the smell." Jiang Xiao walked into the elevator and glanced into the big bag. "Which floor?"

"7th floor, thank you," the delivery guy said.

Jiang Xiao paused slightly and pressed "7."

"70 what?" Jiang Xiao continued to ask.

The delivery guy thought for a while and replied, "701."

Jiang Xiao took the bag in the delivery guy's right hand with one hand.

"Hey, don't snatch it. Don't spill the soup inside," the delivery guy said quickly.

"It's okay, if the soup spills, I'll let her drink it with a plastic bag," Jiang Xiao said casually and looked at the small note inside.

Delivery guy: ???

Jiang Xiao secretly clicked his tongue. What the hell was all this stuff?

Sweet and sour fish, boiled fish, tomato fish, cod stewed with tofu, fish-flavored shredded pork, tuna roll rice...

It seemed like there was a strange thing mixed in.

"Do you know the owner of this house?" the delivery guy asked.

"Ah." Jiang Xiao said casually, "She's my girlfriend, a dead otaku. She doesn't go out and orders takeout at home every day."

The delivery guy looked Jiang Xiao up and down and said uncertainly, "You shouldn't be very old, right?"

Jiang Xiao reached out and took the other bag in the delivery guy's hand and said, "Don't look at me being young, but I'm very brave. You might not believe it if I tell you, but my girlfriend is a goddess of temperament, with fair skin, beautiful appearance, and long legs. Tsk tsk..."

The delivery guy twitched the corner of his mouth awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

"I'm telling you, those long-legged older sisters these days like the little boy type," Jiang Xiao looked at the delivery guy, who was at least 1.85 meters tall, and said, "Your height won't work."

After the words fell, the elevator fell silent.

The elevator came to the 7th floor. The delivery guy pressed the "Open Door" button with one hand and watched Jiang Xiao walk to the door of 701.

He not only wanted to verify whether Jiang Xiao was bragging, but also was afraid that his takeout would be stolen by this kid.

Since both hands were carrying food, Jiang Xiao bumped his head against the door.

Delivery guy: "......"

Click!

A dozen seconds later, the door opened.

The delivery guy's face was shocked. This kid wasn't joking? It really was a young and beautiful long-legged older sister!?

And this woman... what kind of temperament was this?

Those beautiful danfeng eyes played a finishing touch on her cold face.

The woman opened the door, lowered her head, and her originally expressionless face showed a slight look of astonishment when she saw it was Jiang Xiao, and said in a hoarse voice, "You're back."

Jiang Xiao didn't respond. He stepped forward and directly buried his head in Er Wei's warm and soft chest.

The most annoying thing was that this woman didn't push Jiang Xiao away, but her body trembled slightly and she was a little at a loss.

Er Wei didn't quite believe that this extremely strong and unyielding child would show such a side.

A few seconds later, Er Wei slowly raised her hand and gently rubbed Jiang Xiao's head, "You're tired."

Pa! Pa! Pa!

The delivery guy was in the elevator, pressing the close button like crazy.

Um.

The mentality is a bit broken...

Jiang Xiao didn't respond, holding the food in both hands, his face still buried in her dark red sweater, and sighed deeply.

Er Wei's voice was hoarse. Very rarely, her tone had a hint of intonation, "Did you suffer any grievances?"
