"This is for Jiajia."
"The Moon God's Blessing Talisman can preserve marriage and is a gift for Nannan..."
Outside the manor, Qin Siyu, dressed in a pink mid-length skirt, was checking a list, organizing the clothes and souvenirs bought over the period.
After confirming there was nothing missing, Qin Siyu nodded with satisfaction: "No problem, everything's prepared, Jiang Hou, help me pack it up."
"Alright." Jiang Hou, standing nearby, smiled slightly.
As Jiang Hou packed those items into the storage space, Natalie reluctantly stroked Qin Siyu's hair: "Behave yourself when you return, don't cause trouble for Hou."
Qin Siyu chuckled: "I know, he's a big shot now and can't be disturbed easily."
"It's not that exaggerated."
Meow~ At this time, a white kitty sitting on the steps lightly meowed and leaped onto Jiang Hou's shoulder.
Jiang Hou petted the kitty's head and greeted Qin Buyi and his wife: "Uncle, Aunt, we're heading back now, if anything comes up, just call."
"Take care, we'll be back in a couple of months." Qin Buyi waved his hand.
After the black car disappeared at the end of the manor road, Natalie sighed a bit: "They grow up and can't be held back; as soon as she heard Hou was returning to Yidu today, she started packing."
Qin Buyi smiled gently: "It's natural, they grew up together, and haven't really been apart all these years."
...
The special car stopped at the airport runway, and as Jiang Hou led Qin Siyu off the vehicle, Zong Zheng Nan Mo waved at them from a distance: "Jiang Hou, over here."
Around Zong Zheng Nan Mo stood Shentu Ni, Li Mengwu, and a dozen Transcendents heading southwest.
Aside from them, various Transcendents gathered around other hangar gates as well; these were the first batch of departing support members.
Due to the anomaly deep in the ruins, the originally projected week-long negotiation ended quickly.
Even the northern frontline, where the intensity of the war was supposed to be lower, had been demanded a ceasefire by the Ancient God Research Institute and the returning supreme entities from Demon Dragon Divine Hall.
Jiang Hou led Qin Siyu over; as they approached, aside from Zong Zheng Nan Mo and a few familiar faces, everyone else seemed a bit nervous and excited.
"War General Jiang."
"War General, Sir."
"No need for formalities, everyone."
Jiang Hou nodded, then greeted: "Zong Zheng, Brother Shen, and Li Tongxue."
The airport manager jogged over, saluting respectfully: "General, all personnel are present; Flight 0112 is up next to take off in five minutes."
Of course, personnel being present referred to Jiang Hou who was there to pick them up.
"Then let's not waste others' time, let's board the plane first."
Just as Jiang Hou finished speaking, the others were all looking at him without making a move; clearly, no one dared to leave before this prominent figure boarded.
Though Jiang Hou didn't seem to mind the identity issue, these people didn't dare to be careless.
Everyone present was Tiers Four and Five Transcendents, whereas Jiang Hou, a saint-level capable of killing a Half-Step Tier Eight face-to-face, was on a completely different level like a dragon compared to a tiger.
"Siyu, shall we go?"
"Yeah."
The young girl nodded and as she followed Jiang Hou up the boarding ladder, she instinctively glanced at the solemnly standing crowd around, feeling that Jiang Hou was becoming increasingly impressive now.
Meow~ The white kitty perched on Jiang Hou's shoulder licked its paws, and its eyes, pretty and red, glimmered with a hint of laziness.
There were only over twenty passengers on this flight, so it was very spacious, with most of the seats in the middle directly removed and replaced with small sofas.
The first-class cabin where Jiang Hou was sitting had only two comfortable sofas.
Yet as soon as the plane took off, Zong Zheng Nan Mo drew near, first smiling as he looked at Qin Siyu: "Qin Tongxue, mind if I have a moment with Jiang Hou?"
"Don't mind me, you guys talk." The young girl hummed a tune, looking with interest at the clouds retreating outside the window.
Thinking about returning home to Yidu soon, the young girl felt very happy.
"What have you been up to at the hotel the past couple of days?" Jiang Hou asked while grabbing two bottles of refreshing drinks from a small fridge nearby, tossing one to him.
Zong Zheng Nan Mo caught the thrown drink: "Drawing talismans; since breaking through the fifth tier, I've been more attuned to that mysterious chance, and my success rate has reached ten percent."
"Moreover, this morning, I successfully drew a Tier Four Five-Thunder Talisman, and once we return, I can apply to join the group."
Talking about this, Zong Zheng Nan Mo was a bit curious: "Jiang Hou, you've joined the God-sealing group, right? How is it? Are the people inside amazing?"
Jiang Hou nodded: "Indeed, they're very impressive; all are talented individuals."
So far, the two group members he'd met, both Li Jie and Hua Tian, had astonishing strength, able to 'hold their ground' against typical Tier Nines.
Speaking of this, Jiang Hou patted Zong Zheng's shoulder: "Thanks to your forewarning this time, otherwise I'd have been truly ambushed."
Due to Zong Zheng Nan Mo's prior divination, sensing something amiss, Jiang Hou immediately transformed into a giant beast outside the city, hauling Cangming Fire God Mountain down.
Or else, trapped by that grand array, even if he broke free later, it would be quite draining.
"It's nothing, not worth mentioning."
"Next time before any major incident, remember to consult me; though I can't help much in a fight right now, foreseeing your fortunes is still manageable."
With Qin Siyu around, Zong Zheng Nan Mo was quite tactful and only stayed for a short while before leaving.
Meow~ Zong Zheng Nan Mo had just left when the white kitty jumped over, rubbing its soft head covered in white fur against Jiang Hou's cheek.
"No discoveries these past two days?"
Meow~ The white kitty nodded excitedly, extending its paw and waving two tiny claws.
While in its mini form, Master Feitong couldn't 'speak,' but the understanding between it and Jiang Hou was long established; it was indicating it had found two targets, quite formidable ones.
These past two days, Jiang Hou hadn't gone to the ruins due to 'matters,' only leaving Feitong alone to explore.
Its task was to scout the area, trace the Black Sea for traces of Tier Seven or higher beasts, so once Jiang Hou arrived, he could directly engage.
"Seems like good luck." Jiang Hou was somewhat surprised.
Meow~ Of course, take a look at Master Feitong's caliber. The white kitty's tail slightly raised, showing pride in its eyes.
While Jiang Hou and the kitty exchanged, Qin Siyu across them propped her chin, wondering aloud: "Feels like you two are hiding something from me?"
Qin Siyu wasn't foolish; she had long observed that both Jiang Hou and the kitty Feitong turned mysterious every night.
Especially the kitty, often disappearing for a day or two, then suddenly reappearing on the third day.
Jiang Hou spoke gently: "It's not hiding from you, it just involves higher-level powers that can't be disclosed, or it would pose a danger to you."
The young girl tilted her head: "Can't even speak of it?"
"Correct."
"Got it." The young girl nodded obediently, not pursuing the matter any further.
As a Superpower User who awakened Word Spirit ability, she naturally understood the oddity of special kinds of abilities.
