At Jiangnan Base City, in the Southeast Military District, Ye Yu, Tang Xiang, and Fu Junyu woke up.
Tang Xiang and Fu Junyu were overjoyed and deeply moved to reunite with sisters they had once thought lost in battle.
After a moment of excitement, the two women quickly left with the remaining nine high lord-level beast hearts.
In total, they had slain eighteen high lord-level beasts.
They had consumed nine and still had nine left.
As for Commander Li Dawei of the Southeast Military District, Ye Yu had already met him at the Temple of the War God.
They exchanged contact information and agreed that if the base city was ever in danger, they could call on Ye Yu for help—to summon the divine dragon...
Oh no, rather, to summon Ye Yu and his team!
Now that they had fighter jets, it didn't matter from which direction a beast tide came at Jiangnan Base City—Ye Yu could arrive in just a few minutes.
With cloaks swiftly crafted from the Silvermoon Wolf King's pelt, the trio immediately set off for Yangzhou.
An entire wolf pelt had been turned into fourteen sets of cloaked robes, exquisitely crafted, soft to the touch, and incredibly comfortable.
The design was exactly to Ye Yu's taste.
The seams were stitched with silk from high lord-level spiders.
Seeing the fourteen cloaks, both Tang Xiang and Fu Junyu fell in love with them at first sight.
Women, after all, love beauty—it's in their nature. Four of the cloaks had even been custom-made to fit their figures.
When they returned home to Yangzhou, Xu Xin and Liu Ting—who had been waiting eagerly—pounced on them.
Ye Yu scooped Liu Ting into his arms, holding her by the thighs and waist, and strode straight into the room.
Having gone seven days without any "intimacy," both Xu Xin and Liu Ting could no longer wait.
They didn't even care that Tang Xiang and Fu Junyu were right there watching.
Tang Xiang and Fu Junyu, watching the trio disappear into the room, could only sigh and leave.
They couldn't resist pulling out their custom-made clothes and snapping pictures to show off to the sisters they had just reunited with.
Clothes made from the pelts of high lord-level beasts weren't something just anyone could wear.
The next day.
Ye Yu was awakened by loud noises. He gently pushed aside Xu Xin and Liu Ting, who were still fast asleep.
As expected, the two women had once again fainted from exhaustion the previous night.
Ignoring the alluring scene of bouncing curves and fair skin, Ye Yu quickly washed up and headed to the rooftop.
When he saw two intelligent fighter jets descending from the sky, his eyes lit up.
One was a Heaven-Earth-Class intelligent fighter, and the other a King-Class fighter.
Ye Yu kept one of the three Heaven-Earth-Class jets for himself.
The other two: one was sent by the Limit Martial Hall to Tang Qin in the capital, and the other was left with Jiang Fang at the Hongning Base City.
Ye Yu had originally intended to give them these jets.
With them, they could return at any time.
Seeing the charming and sultry Yaorou personally delivering the jets, Ye Yu greeted her happily with a big hug.
With her warm, fragrant body in his arms, Ye Yu wasn't feeling particularly romantic—his attention was all on the two jets.
Yaorou didn't object, letting him hold her while giving him a flirtatious side-eye.
However...
When she felt the masculine aura radiating from Ye Yu, Yaorou's heart fluttered despite herself.
She hadn't felt this way at the War God Temple yesterday—just thought Ye Yu had a strange charisma, something that made people naturally like him.
But now, seeing him in person, she couldn't help but feel—
How to put it?
That she just wanted to get closer to him. His presence stirred her deeply, and a flush crept onto her alluring face.
"What's happening to me? Am I... craving a man? That can't be! I've seen so many outstanding men—how can I lose myself over one boy?"
"Yaorou, get a grip. You're not some little girl anymore. Don't turn into a love-struck fool..."
"So he complimented you a bit—don't tell me he's stolen your soul too!"
Yaorou quickly calmed herself and stepped away from Ye Yu.
But she couldn't help glancing at him again and again.
The more she looked, the more attractive he seemed, and the more her heart stirred. She couldn't resist wanting to get closer.
Ye Yu, however, paid no attention to her thoughts, his eyes locked on the two fighter jets in front of him.
Both jets were triangular in shape, with sleek silver-white bodies that looked like works of art.
Their metallic sheen wasn't harsh on the eyes at all.
The Heaven-Earth-Class jet at the front was about 30 meters long, 20 meters wide, and over 6 meters high.
The King-Class jet behind it was about 23 meters long, 14 meters wide, and over 5 meters high.
The two jets sat silently on the rooftop—majestic and awe-inspiring.
Seeing that Ye Yu was ignoring her, Yaorou felt a twinge of disappointment.
Still, she stepped forward to explain:
> "The Heaven-Earth intelligent fighter reaches speeds of Mach 20—about 24,000 kilometers per hour."
> "It can circle the Earth in less than two hours."
> "Its durability allows it to withstand attacks from typical King-Class beasts. But at Mach 20, those beasts can't even catch up."
> "If you encounter a high lord-level beast, just fly straight at it—the wings are sharp enough to slice it clean in two."
> "The King-Class jet is a lot weaker. It only reaches Mach 10 and can only resist attacks from high lord-level beasts..."
At this, Tang Xiang and Fu Junyu, standing behind Ye Yu, gasped.
After six days of intense battle, they understood well the threat of high lord-level beasts.
Even a King-Class jet couldn't be harmed by such monsters—nor could they even catch it.
They couldn't help but open their lips in amazement at the power of the jets.
> "Come, I'll help you confirm your identity in the system and bind the jet to your wristband."
> "Once it's registered, no matter where you are, you only have to call through the smart wristband, and the jet will fly to you."
As she spoke, Yaorou naturally took Ye Yu's hand and led him toward the Heaven-Earth-Class jet.
Feeling her soft, fair hand, Ye Yu paused for a moment, then tightly gripped hers in return.
Yaorou hesitated briefly, then smiled subtly.
Since she was already moved, she decided to act on it.
She was decisive by nature—and more aware than anyone else present of how rare opportunities were.
She had survived the Great Nirvana Era and knew the fragility of life.
Even someone as powerful as her—a planetary-level fighter—couldn't predict whether accident or tomorrow would come first.
As the personal guard of Hong, the world's strongest, she had a clearer understanding than most of just how tense the global situation had become.
According to the Limit Martial Hall's research, a new Beast Emperor had emerged from the ocean.
It was the third Beast Emperor to appear in the past decade. Hong had slain one of the first two.
From its remains, the Martial Hall had developed materials even stronger than SS-grade.
They called it SSS-grade.
The other Beast Emperor had escaped and disappeared into the deep sea.
