Chapter 357: Chapter 213: Ning Fengwan's Defense Broken by “Proof of Love”, Black Tide Security's Sudden Inspection (4K)_2

The lead security officer didn't speak, but instead was the first to step into the door, entering the cabin, followed by several other personnel.

After they entered, they each went to a particular area, lifted their right hands, and pressed several times on the wristbands on their right hands. The wristbands suddenly emitted a deep blue conical light, scanning everything inside the cabin.

“Oh? It seems they are genuinely checking, and here I thought they were just using it as an excuse to extort money.”

Ning Yuantai stroked his chin and said.

“What did that man mean by 'special period'?” Xue Jing asked casually.

Ning Yuantai replied, “Recently, many incidents occurred in the Fifth Urban Circle. Over at Maple City, many sky pirate gangs suddenly wreaked havoc. Baocheng had a massive martial artists brawl a while ago, causing several blocks to be destroyed, countless innocents killed or injured… And Qingcheng, if not for your presence, that Heavenly Lodge Insect Mother would have claimed many lives.”

“I heard some things happened on the Inner Ring side too, but I haven't been around the Inner Ring lately, so I don't know the details.”

He lowered his voice and said, “… I heard it's the big shots clashing above. I dare not ask too much.”

Xue Jing nodded but remained silent.

The scanners used by the Black Tide Security personnel were unknown technology, and a quick sweep was considered a complete check, very efficient. In no time, the cabin had almost been fully checked, one of them entered a small compartment.

Just when Xue Jing thought the checking was about to end, suddenly, an alarm sounded from inside the small compartment.

“Beep————”

As soon as the prolonged alarm sounded, the expression of several Black Tide personnel standing outside the cabin changed.

Xue Jing also narrowed his eyes, his figure vanished instantly, and in the next moment, he was inside the small compartment.

At this moment, Miao Miao was curling up on a seat, her cat face filled with human-like innocence.

A conical blue light shone on her, turning her into a blue cat, with only the tail ring on her tail flashing red.

All the security personnel gradually entered the small compartment. The leader, after observing the scene for a while, spoke up with a stern tone:

“We need to take this cat.”

With that, he reached towards Miao Miao.

“Snap–”

Xue Jing grabbed his outstretched wrist.

The leader exerted a little force, trying to break free, but found his arm immovable, his brow furrowed immediately, and veins popped out on his arm as he exerted more strength to pull away.

But it was as if gripped by an industrial alloy mechanical claw, utterly immovable even though he was using all his strength, not even a millimeter of tremor, as if it were fixed in place.

“Don't touch it,” Xue Jing spoke slowly, his tone utterly flat.

The leader remained silent for a bit, then said:

“It has an 'anomaly'; by the rules, we must take it back for investigation.”

Xue Jing looked emotionlessly at him, his pupils tinged with silvery-white, spoke faintly:

“I won't say it again.”

The other security personnel quickly drew various firearms and batons from their waists, aiming them at Xue Jing.

The atmosphere on the scene immediately dropped to freezing, causing the air to stagnate.

With numerous weapons aimed at him, Xue Jing's expression did not change; meanwhile, Miao Miao narrowed her eyes, the Serpent Slayer Spearheads on her two front paws flickering with a cold light, and her emerald-like vertical pupils swept over the necks of the surrounding security personnel.

“… if you don't want to die, put down your weapons.”

The leader spoke.

Hearing this, everyone hastily withdrew their weapons aimed at Xue Jing.

Ning Yuantai also entered the small compartment. His gaze sharpened, his skin faintly reddened, a fine crimson airflow beginning to appear around him.

“Xue, your call?”

He looked towards Xue Jing, his expression eager, as if ready to attack the Black Tide Security personnel at a moment's notice.

“About this matter, I will report it truthfully and let the higher-ups handle it.”

The lead security officer noticed that the grip was tightening, feeling his wrist starting to ache severely. He hurriedly spoke to Xue Jing.

The cracking sound of bones snapping came from his wrist, the corner of his eye twitching slightly: “So… can you let go now?”

The silvery-white in Xue Jing's pupils gradually faded, returning to deep brown, as he released the leader's hand.

A deep red handprint was left on the leader's wrist, visibly thinner than the surrounding areas, as if the flesh had been pinched tightly.

He held his wrist with his other hand, took a sharp breath of cool air, looked warily at Xue Jing, and said, “… Let's go.”

The team of security personnel followed him out of the cabin, each getting on their own flying devices and leaving the area.

“Tsk, what a pity.” Ning Yuantai dissolved his red aura, his skin color returning to normal, his face full of regret.

Xue Jing looked out the cabin window, watching the departing backs of the security personnel, and said to Ning Yuantai:

“Yuantai, it's okay that I did this, right?”

Ning Yuantai patted his chest, “Of course, it's okay. Relax. You are one of us from The Sixth Agency. Letting them board the plane was already more than enough. Thinking they can take things from us too? It wouldn't be a problem even if we had slapped their faces hard!”

Xue Jing sighed lightly, “Sorry for causing you trouble.”

Ning Yuantai exclaimed, “What trouble? If I hadn't been giving you face, I would have already started a fight with that bunch from Black Tide…”

“But your cat…”

Ning Yuantai, with a thoughtful look, glanced toward Miao Miao, pausing on the platinum-colored ring encircling its tail.

“I see.” He nodded, saying considerately:

“You take a rest; I will make a call upstairs to explain.”

Having said that, he left the compartment.

After he left, Miao Miao looked innocently at Xue Jing.

“…Did I cause trouble again?”

Xue Jing mused, “No, based on past experiences, it should be my fault.”

He gradually reconciled with himself, beginning to believe he truly was a “Congenital Trouble-Magnet Sacred Body”

“However, this should just be a small matter with no follow-up. A brief contact and explanation to the officials of Yuan City and The Sixth Agency should suffice.”

Xue Jing thought for a moment, unsure, “…I guess.”

Miao Miao placed her two front paws on his knees, whispering in a young girl's voice:

“Jing, thank you.”

Xue Jing, lost in thought, turned to look at her, puzzled, “Thank for what?”

The emerald green vertical pupils of Miao Miao seemed to shimmer:

“Just now, you didn't hesitate to choose to protect me.”

Xue Jing smiled, stroking her head, and said:

“Wrong.”

Miao Miao: “Huh?”

“I didn't choose to protect you; it was never a question.”

Xue Jing, his eyes twinkling: “You are my family, protecting you is a natural instinct, with no consideration of benefits involved.”

“Jing…” Ning Fengwan's heart suddenly began to race, thumping loudly and annoyingly.

Xue Jing touched his chin, then suddenly took out the [Proof of Love] from his embrace and pressed the right button aimed at Ning Fengwan.

Numbers began to appear on the electronic screen, continuously jumping rapidly, soon reaching four digits and displaying specific numbers.

[2178]

[2181]

[2215]

[2257]…

The numbers kept rising, finally stabilizing at [2313].

Ning Fengwan, who had been touched, stiffened all over.

She knew what [Proof of Love] was, as Xue Jing had already explained its function to her before.

Previously, when Xue Jing had asked her if she wanted to try it, she had decisively refused, saying she feared hurting Xue Jing's feelings, as her affection level for him was very low.

Looking at the exaggerated four-digit number on the electronic screen, Ning Fengwan's mouth twitched, and she said with a forced smile:

“…You pressed the left side, right? I didn't expect your affection level for the Sect Hierarch to be so high, too bad I don't quite…”

Xue Jing spoke leisurely, “Right side.”

“…Then I must have remembered wrong; it's the right side that measures one's affection toward another, right?”

Xue Jing leaned back, looking down at Ning Fengwan with a smile that was not quite a smile, “Heh.”

“…” Ning Fengwan gritted her teeth, feeling both embarrassed and angry.

The number on the electronic screen dropped a little, changing to [2312].
