Chapter 227 - 227 Who Dares to Disobey, Gets Smacked with a Frying Pan! (4th Update)
Takeuchi Kiyoko’s eyes brimmed with tears as she looked at Xue An, reluctant to let him go.
Xue An smiled, “Since you call me master, then I will entrust this sword to you for safekeeping!”
With that, Xue An handed the Flowing Light Sword to Takeuchi Kiyoko.
Takeuchi Kiyoko looked shocked, and protested, “Master, this is absolutely not acceptable, isn’t this sword the one you carry with you at all times? If you give it to me, what will you use?”
“In my eyes, everything in the world can be a sword; I am not attached to this object. Take it, you will be guarding this place by yourself for a long time, and it’s inevitable that some will harbor ill intentions!” Xue An said indifferently.
Takeuchi Kiyoko’s expression turned grave, and she respectfully received the Flowing Light Sword, saying in a deep voice, “Master, rest assured, I will not discredit the power of this sword!”
Xue An nodded slightly and then turned to board the plane with An Yan and the others.
Takeuchi Kiyoko stood there, feeling an emptiness in her heart.
At a corner of the airport, far away, Benqiao Meijia watched Xue An’s receding figure, twisting the hem of her clothes forcefully, her knuckles turning white from the exertion.
When the plane took off and gradually headed towards Huaxia.
Amidst the higher echelons in Country R, a fierce debate was underway.
“Send the military now, a single artillery shell can bring down that plane! It would also rid our great Empire of Country R of a major threat!” a middle-aged man with a grim face said sternly.
“But this Xue An’s cultivation level is divine, and what happened last night was seen by all. If he survives, who could stand against him?” another person countered.
While everyone in the room was in heated argument, the Prime Minister sitting in the chief seat turned to look at Fujita Miki in the corner.
Normally, with her qualifications, she wouldn’t have the right to be here, but because she was the only one who had witnessed Xue An in action and survived, an exception was made to let her attend the meeting.
“Fujita, what’s your take on this?”
Fujita Miki’s eyes were vacant, and she was in a daze. Hearing the Prime Minister’s call, she was jolted back to reality.
“Ah, Prime Minister, I don’t know how to look at this matter, but Xue An said something to me.”
“Oh? What did he say?”
Fujita Miki paused, fear flickering in her eyes.
“He said… he has very little patience left! If provoked again, nobody knows what might happen.”
The room fell silent.
Even those who advocated shooting down the plane were now silent.
After a long while.
The Prime Minister let out a slight sigh, “Enough, let’s not speak of this any further, remember to completely seal off the news, otherwise… it would damage the face of our great Empire of Country R!”
“Yes!”
The plane landed smoothly.
As the family walked out of the airport terminal, An Qing was waiting at the entrance.
Upon seeing her.
The two little girls cheered and dashed over.
“Auntie!”
An Qing squatted down with a beaming smile, inspecting Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian carefully before nodding in satisfaction.
“Good, you haven’t lost weight!”
“Auntie, why do you check if we’ve lost weight?” Xue Xiang asked.
“Because if you had lost weight, that would mean your parents hadn’t taken good care of you. And then your auntie would be very, very angry!”
An Qing said, pulling out a big bag of snacks from her bag.
“Here! I prepared these especially for you two!”
“Thank you, Auntie!”
At this moment, An Yan let out a helpless sigh, “You’re nearly spoiling them rotten!”
An Qing chuckled, “If they do get spoiled, I’ll take care of it!”
Then, looking at Xue An, she gave a thumbs up with great admiration.
“Brother-in-law, impressive!”
Xue An smiled, “Impressive about what?”
“Tsk tsk, he wiped out most of R country’s martial arts experts with one punch, slashed through several Ninja clans, and even brought down the Tokyo Tower, and that’s not impressive?”
An Qing, who now held a high military position, had access to a lot of information unknown to the public.
After hearing this, Xue An laughed, “In my opinion, it’s just that the people of R country are too weak!”
“Hehe! Still impressive though!”
Upon returning to the An Family.
Chen Xiuhe and several of Xue An’s brothers all rushed over.
Qiao Le said excitedly, “Second brother, while you were away, our Tian Yuan products sold like crazy. Eventually, we couldn’t meet the demand and had to limit supplies. Now, every major power abroad wants to buy them.”
Xue An replied, “We still have to ensure domestic supply first, but we can mix in some subpar products to sell abroad!”
“Is… is that really okay?” Qiao Le’s eyes widened in surprise.
“Why not? How did they sell things to us in the past? Now we’ll just sell it back the same way, and it’s only slightly less effective, not deadly!” Xue An said indifferently.
“Great! That’s a good idea! Hehe, those foreign devils, none of them are any good, I get it now!” Qiao Le excitedly rubbed his hands together.
They made a fuss until late at night, then after freeloading a meal from Xue An, they each went their separate ways.
The two young girls, affected by jet lag, were so sleepy they couldn’t stand it, and An Yan took them back to sleep.
Xue An was lying in bed, resting with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, he felt a tremor in the room.
Xue An immediately stood up, and at that moment, An Yan also ran in with a panic-stricken face, plunging into Xue An’s arms.
“Husband!”
“What’s wrong?” Xue An quickly embraced An Yan.
“I was just falling asleep when I suddenly felt a jolt in my body, and then a very strange sensation. What’s happening?” An Yan was clearly scared.
The expression on Xue An’s face turned grave. Could it be the Seal was causing trouble again?
But upon closer inspection, Xue An couldn’t help but laugh.
“It’s fine, you’ve just made another breakthrough!”
“A breakthrough?”
Xue An nodded, then said with some amazement, “Wife, I think you might be a cultivation genius!”
“Others work hard for many years and might not achieve the breakthrough you did while sleeping. If this gets out, many people would probably die of shame!”
That’s right, An Yan had now broken through from the Zhenren Realm to the Xiaoyao Realm.
This progress astonished even Xue An.
After all, unlike his own return from rebirth, An Yan had started her cultivation from scratch.
It seemed his wife’s background was even more significant than he initially thought…
A mysterious smile appeared on Xue An’s lips.
At that moment, An Yan let out a sigh of relief.
As long as everything was fine!
Then, Xue An leaned down and whispered in An Yan’s ear, “Wife, now that your cultivation level is getting higher, does that mean…”
An Yan initially didn’t understand what he meant, but once she did, her face flushed red.
“That… I’m not feeling well these days!” An Yan said in a voice as small as a mosquito.
Xue An laughed heartily, “Just teasing you, silly girl!”
An Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly pinched Xue An’s waist.
Hisss!
Xue An inhaled sharply from the pain.
That actually hurt a bit!
Seeing this, An Yan quickly let go, her face full of concern as she blew on Xue An’s sore spot, “Sorry husband, I didn’t realize I had become so strong! Does it still hurt?”
Xue An shook his head, took An Yan’s hand warmly, and said, “The stronger, the better. Later on, I’ll get you an indestructible frying pan; if anyone dares to defy, you smack them good!”
