Chapter 577 - 577: Junior Brother, When Did You Become So Reserved?

During his time at the hotel, Jiang Xinghai had been in a state of deep seclusion.

Sixteen hours of arduous cultivation. Every breath he took was infused with his obsessive pursuit of power.

Now, the scabs of dried blood on his body were cracking and flaking off.

The skin underneath was as tender as a newborn's, a sight he himself found incredible.

'Is this what it means to be truly reborn?'

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, as if it could pierce the air and shoot into the heavens.

He could feel the new power within him, seemingly ready to burst forth with boundless vitality.

At this moment, he felt his own transformation—a qualitative leap, an ascension of both his power and his soul.

Having successfully shattered the shackles of the Celestial Destiny Realm and stepped into the Human Emperor Realm, he let out a long sigh.

All his previous efforts had not been in vain!

From now on, his path would be even broader!

A twenty-five-year-old in the Human Emperor Realm. How many others like him could be found in the entire Dragon Country?

With this level of strength, he was now filled with confidence about going to the Imperial City to find Mr. Long, Ji Xiao.

"Nightingale, are you there?"

Feeling the changes the Human Emperor Realm had brought him, Jiang Xinghai slowly rose and walked toward the large floor-to-ceiling window.

"Young Master Jiang, I'm here."

The door pushed open to reveal Nightingale. Dressed in a white tank top and black leggings, her hair neatly styled, she exuded a dashing and heroic air that made it impossible not to look.

"Ah!"

She froze when she saw Jiang Xinghai standing completely naked in front of the window, his back to her.

"Go buy me a set of clothes. It's time to go out for a bit."

Jiang Xinghai turned, showing himself to Nightingale without any trace of shame.

"O-Okay..." Nightingale hurriedly lowered her head.

But she couldn't resist raising her head again. What a sight it was.

Jiang Xinghai's skin was like new, and his streamlined muscles resembled those of a swift Leopard, poised to strike at any moment.

It was simply mesmerizing.

Although Nightingale had made love with Jiang Xinghai once on the yacht at sea, she hadn't had time to observe him like this back then.

Now, the sensory impact was just too intense!

"So beautiful. Your skin is even more supple than a woman's..." Nightingale finally commented.

"Do you want to have it?" Jiang Xinghai's lips curved into a slight smile.

"Yes!"

Nightingale didn't deny her desires. Without waiting for Jiang Xinghai's response, she leaped right onto him.

Having just reached the Human Emperor Realm, Jiang Xinghai was in a state of complete relaxation. He also needed to absorb some Primordial Yin Power, so he naturally indulged Nightingale fiercely.

"Oh no, we missed lunch, and I still haven't bought you clothes."

Nightingale reluctantly got out of Jiang Xinghai's embrace and hastily started to get dressed.

Jiang Xinghai was enjoying himself. "No rush. Just buy a set of casual clothes, something comfortable."

"Okay, there's a specialty store downstairs. Wait for me." Nightingale dashed out of the room.

A dozen or so minutes later, she returned, carrying several sets of casual wear.

There were black, white, and gray outfits.

She first put the clothes in the washing machine, and while they were drying, room service delivered their lunch.

By the time they finished lunch, it was already three in the afternoon.

"I wonder if Cao Shan and Zheng Wuji are getting antsy waiting," Nightingale joked.

Yesterday, Jiang Xinghai had made a bold declaration that he would go in the morning, but here it was, afternoon, and he was only now getting ready to act on it.

"Our being a little late just means they get to suffer a little later. They should be thanking us."

Jiang Xinghai smiled profoundly. "Besides, my Second Senior Sister isn't here yet. If the two of us go and can't do anything to Zheng Wuji, wouldn't that be a shame?"

"That's true," Nightingale nodded.

Jiang Xinghai lit a cigarette and glanced at the time. "Did my Second Senior Sister give an exact arrival time?"

"She just said this evening at the latest," Nightingale shrugged.

"In that case, let's go wait at the airport. I really miss my Second Senior Sister."

Dressed in a white casual outfit, Jiang Xinghai headed straight for the airport with Nightingale.

After arriving at the airport, Jiang Xinghai and Nightingale waited at the arrival gate.

They wandered around, enjoying the scenery inside the airport and checking the time occasionally.

"Time flies. It's already five o'clock," Nightingale said, looking at her watch.

"She should be here by now, right?" Jiang Xinghai was a little exasperated.

「Half an hour later.」

A flight landed, and amidst the bustling crowd, a short-haired woman pulling a suitcase appeared in Jiang Xinghai and Nightingale's line of sight.

The woman's looks and figure were practically flawless!

She was tall with a fluid grace, like a willow catkin swaying in the wind. Her slender waist highlighted her feminine charm, while the curves of her hips and thighs were enough to set one's imagination racing.

Even passersby couldn't help but cast appreciative glances her way.

Her facial features were like a masterpiece meticulously carved by an artist. Her perfect proportions and delicate contours were breathtaking and irresistible.

Her unhurried demeanor and confident smile commanded respect.

Zhong Yunman!

Three-Star of the Western Territory!

Jiang Xinghai's Second Senior Sister!

"She's here!" Nightingale couldn't help but rush forward.

Jiang Xinghai simply stood rooted to the spot, the corners of his eyes slightly moist.

They had been apart for over half a year, and now they were finally reunited.

"Second Senior Sister, you're finally here!" Jiang Xinghai was overjoyed. He started to open his arms for a hug but then pulled them back.

Zhong Yunman strode forward and threw herself into Jiang Xinghai's arms. "Little Junior Brother, since when did you become so reserved?"

The powerful impact of her embrace made Jiang Xinghai jolt, and he instinctively shrank back.

His Second Senior Sister's figure was truly too outstanding.

"Second Senior Sister, I missed you to death! Quick, give me your luggage." Jiang Xinghai held his breath, afraid his imagination would run wild.

In the past, when he was with his Second Senior Sister, he had not yet cultivated the Dragon Locking Secret Technique.

Now that he had reached the Great Achievement stage, he had no resistance to any beautiful woman.

A teasing look appeared on Zhong Yunman's lips. "Little Junior Brother, it hasn't been that long. Have you grown distant from your Second Senior Sister already? Since when did you get so timid?"

"I... don't think so," Jiang Xinghai said with an embarrassed laugh.

"Let me see if you've grown again." Zhong Yunman looked Jiang Xinghai up and down, her gaze intentionally lingering on a specific contour before she pursed her lips and smiled. "I can't tell right now. I'll have to take a good look tonight."

"Okay," Jiang Xinghai grinned.

"Let's go. We can talk on the way." Zhong Yunman linked her arm with Jiang Xinghai's and started walking toward the exit.

Nightingale followed behind, pulling the suitcase with an envious expression.

'She knew her fated connection with Jiang Xinghai could go no further, but in her heart, she would always silently wish him well.'

"Zheng Wuji? Fine. If my Little Junior Brother wants to teach him a lesson, then I'll help you teach him a lesson!"

On the way, Zhong Yunman learned of the upcoming plan from Jiang Xinghai and made her decision without hesitation.

Before she left Kunlun Mountain, their Master had repeatedly instructed her to protect her Little Junior Brother at all costs.

That was, of course, the very reason she had come here from the Western Territory.

「Not long after.」

Under the moonlit sky, the three of them boarded a yacht and headed straight for Cui Mountain Island.
