Chapter 23
I'm Still a Tough Guy Today!

After careful consideration, Hawkeye Mihawk agreed to Fang Ming Jing's request.

On the one hand, he didn't really feel anything about the concept of "crossing over." On the other hand, it was also because of the well-established rules surrounding the Chat Group's cross-world feature.

One of these rules was that members of the Chat Group could not engage in hostile actions against each other.

Another rule was that when a member of the Chat Group crossed over to another member's world, the members of the original world had the right to recall them at any time.

With these two major rules in place, Hawkeye Mihawk didn't feel there was anything to worry about.

However, while he was ready to go whenever, Fang Ming Jing was not in such a hurry.

Because it was already late in the evening——

“……I'm full.”

Fang Ming Jing held a half-shelled lobster in his hand and said to Gu Shi Yun.

He had only managed to eat two out of the ten lobsters.

Gu Shi Yun wasn't surprised by this, she smiled with a touch of helplessness, then held him in her arms and wiped his hands with a soft silk handkerchief.

“You, you said you were going to eat ten… Little brat.”

Her tone was full of pampering.

This made Fang Ming Jing feel strangely languid.

Children always seem to get sleepy after eating their fill, and even though he was the Saint Son of Chong Xiao, this was no exception.

“I'm not……”

He mumbled with a whine.

But even his voice was soft and weak.

Because being held by his auntie was incredibly comfortable, Fang Ming Jing didn't want to fight the sleepiness, so he closed his heavy eyelids after finding a comfortable position in the beautiful woman's arms.

…He had not slept at all during his time in the Secret Realm.

“Jing’er?”

Asleep already?

At first, Gu Shi Yun hadn't noticed, but when she heard his even breathing, she subconsciously lowered her voice.

She looked at his adorable sleeping face, feeling the rise and fall of his breath against her chest. Even though she wasn't doing anything, it filled the beautiful woman with a warm sense of happiness.

She wanted to hold him a little longer.

She wanted to kiss him a little more.

Thinking about how this child would always call her "Auntie" with such fondness the first thing after waking up, Gu Shi Yun felt a genuine joy in her heart.

He was her life…

So, no matter what happened, Gu Shi Yun would love him. No matter what she faced, she would protect him. As long as it was something he wanted, she would get it for him, no matter what it was.

“Princess, Little Saint…”

The maid Qing He entered at this moment, but upon seeing Fang Ming Jing asleep, she immediately became cautious.

“What is it?”

“A letter arrived from the court.”

“Just leave it there.”

“Yes.”

While she didn't say it before, Gu Shi Yun was a member of the Holy Land and also the princess of the Yun Ze Empire. While it couldn't be compared to the three great imperial dynasties, it was still a very powerful nation.

“Hum~ hum~”

Late at night.

Fang Ming Jing, having just bathed, sat on a stool, swinging his feet that couldn't reach the ground. Behind him, Qing He was helping him dry his wet hair.

“Little Saint Son seems in a good mood?”

“Yes, I'm very happy to be back home.”

Although the outside world was interesting, Fang Ming Jing still found it more comfortable to be at home.

However, the main reason was that he was looking forward to what he was going to do in a few days.

He had already discussed it with Hawkeye Mihawk, and they decided to use the Chat Group's cross-world function to go to the other person's world at noon three days later.

Fang Ming Jing was very interested in the world of One Piece.

Strange Devil Fruits, mermaids, and so on. Even just looking at the vast ocean made him happy. He even wanted to see how stupid the Celestial Dragons were.

“Little Saint Son caused quite a stir on your trip this time.”

“Really?”

“Of course, it’s said that Little Saint Son is now ranked first on the Prodigy List, surpassing the heirs of the three great dynasties and the six great families.”

“The Prodigy List?”

“Don't you know, Little Saint Son?”

“I know, I just think it's boring.” Fang Ming Jing pouted disapprovingly, “If it only had my name on it, that would be a different story.”

Qing He couldn't help but be speechless.

The so-called Prodigy List was actually set up by a sect called "Tian Yan Zong." In the words of the Holy Lord Jiang Jiu Ge, the people in that sect were all a bunch of fortune-tellers, but this list had a pretty good reputation.

The ranking on the Prodigy List was mainly based on potential.

If you just looked at cultivation level, Fang Ming Jing's early Condensation Realm was not even in the top ten. But to top the Prodigy List based solely on potential, no one had any objections.

The moment the Chong Xiao Secret Realm ended, the information about the current Saint Son of the Chong Xiao Holy Land came into everyone's view.

Ten years old and in the Condensation Realm…

The Great Sun Sacred Body, unseen for ten thousand years…

And finally, he killed the renowned Liu Guan Zong, who was also on the Prodigy List, by transcending his realm while still at the early Condensation Realm…

The information recorded in these reports made everyone realize that the current Saint Son of the Chong Xiao Holy Land seemed to be even more monstrous in terms of talent than all the previous Saint Sons!

“It's done, Little Saint Son.”

“Oh oh.”

Hair dried, I'm still a tough guy today!
