I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw the security personnel sitting outside the aircraft saying in a cold tone:

"These are special times, and the requirement is that all vehicles and all people must be inspected, without any exceptions."

Ning Yuantai laughed, crossed his arms, and said, "What if I insist on not letting you in?"

Seeing this, Xue Jing asked, "Yuan Tai, what's wrong?"

“Brother Xue…” Ning Yuantai lowered his hands upon seeing Xue Jing, walked up to him, and whispered:

"He wants to inspect our plane. These security companies, relying on their law enforcement authority, are always looking for opportunities to extort money. This time, they've probably done it again, actually trying to extort money from our Sixth Agency..."

Xue Jing glanced at the security personnel outside the door, his gaze lingering on the one who was speaking first.

His right forehead and eye socket had no skin, but a layer of silver metallic coating. His eyeballs were prosthetic eyes that flashed red light, and he was staring at Xue Jing.

"That's the rule in Yuancheng now. It's an order personally given by the Chief Councilor. No one can have special treatment. Everyone who enters the city must be checked."

He said in a cold, hard tone.

Ning Yuantai chuckled, "Hey, I really don't believe it. What can you do if I don't let you in today?"

The leader of the Kuroshio security personnel did not respond.

Xue Jing thought for a moment and then said:

“This dragging on isn’t going to work. Since it’s a special time, let them investigate. There’s nothing shameful on the plane.”

Upon hearing this, Ning Yuantai scratched his head, "Since you've already said so, Brother Xue..."

He stepped aside and said with a smirk, "Come in."

The lead security guard didn't speak, but stepped through the cabin door first, followed by the other personnel.

After they entered, they each went to a section of the cabin, raised their right hands, and pressed the wristbands on their right hands a few times. The wristbands immediately emitted a deep blue cone-shaped beam of light, scanning everything inside the cabin.

"Oh? It looks like they're really checking carefully. I thought it was just an excuse to rip me off."

Ning Yuantai stroked his chin and said.

"What do you mean by the special period that person mentioned?" Xue Jing asked casually.

Ning Yuantai replied, "Recently, a lot of things have happened in the Fifth Metropolitan Area. In Fengcheng, many Sky Pirate Groups have suddenly been rampaging. In Baocheng, a large-scale martial arts battle took place some time ago, resulting in the destruction of several city blocks and countless innocent people being killed or injured... And in Qingcheng, if it weren't for your presence, that Heavenly Constellation Insect Mother would have killed countless people."

"I heard there have been some incidents in the inner ring area, but I haven't been there recently, so I don't know the details."

He lowered his voice and said, "...I heard that these are all people from above fighting each other, so I don't dare to ask any more questions."

Xue Jing nodded without saying anything.

The scanners used by the Kuroshio people were of unknown technology; they simply scanned the area and considered the inspection complete, which was very efficient. In no time, the entire cabin had been inspected, and one of them went into a small compartment.

Just when Xue Jing thought the inspection was about to end, an alarm suddenly sounded in the cubicle.

"drop------"

As soon as the drawn-out alarm sounded, the expressions of the several Kuroshio personnel standing outside the cabin changed.

Xue Jing narrowed his eyes, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant, appearing in the small cubicle the next moment.

At this moment, the cat is curled up in the seat, its face full of anthropomorphic innocence.

A cone-shaped 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 entered the small cubicle one after another. The leader watched this scene, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke in a cold tone:

"We're taking this cat with us."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand to the cat.

"Snapped--"

Xue Jing grabbed his outstretched wrist.

The leader tried to break free with a slight effort, but found that his arm was not moving at all. He frowned, the veins on his arm bulged, and he used all his strength to try to pull away.

However, it was as if he was firmly gripped by an industrial alloy mechanical claw. Even though he had used all his strength, he found that his arm remained completely still, without even a tremor, as if it were fixed to the ground.

"Don't touch it," Xue Jing said slowly, his tone completely calm.

"..." The leader was silent for a moment, then said:

“It has ‘abnormalities’ and according to the rules, it should be taken back for investigation.”

Xue Jing glanced at him expressionlessly, his pupils tinged with silver-white, and said calmly:

I won't say it a second time.

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

The atmosphere at the scene immediately froze, and the air seemed to freeze.

Despite being pointed at by countless weapons, Xue Jing's expression remained unchanged. The cat, however, narrowed its eyes, and the snake-slaying spears that sprang from its two front paws gleamed coldly. Its emerald-like vertical pupils swept across the necks of the surrounding security personnel.

"...If you don't want to die, put down your guns."

The leader spoke up.

Upon hearing this, everyone withdrew their weapons from Xue Jing.

Ning Yuantai also entered the small cubicle. His gaze sharpened, and his skin turned faintly red. A subtle crimson aura began to appear around him.

"Brother Xue, what do you mean?"

He looked at Xue Jing with excitement, as if he was just waiting for Xue Jing's order to immediately kill these Black Tide security personnel.

"...I will report this matter truthfully and hand it over to my superiors for handling."

The lead security guard noticed that the iron clamp was tightening its grip and felt the pain starting to spread through his wrist. He quickly spoke to Xue Jing.

The bones cracked and popped, and his eye twitched slightly: "So...can I let go now?"

The silvery-white in Xue Jing's pupils gradually faded, returning to a deep brown, and he withdrew his hand from the leader's.

The leader had a deep red handprint on his wrist, which was noticeably thinner than the rest of his body, as if the skin and flesh had been squeezed tightly.

He gripped his wrist with his other hand, took a slight breath, glanced at Xue Jing warily, and said, "...Let's go."

A group of security personnel followed him out of the cabin, and each boarded their aircraft and left.

"Tsk, what a pity." Ning Yuantai dissipated the crimson aura around him, his skin color returning to normal, and said with a regretful expression.

Xue Jing looked out the porthole, watching the departing security personnel, and said to Ning Yuantai:

"Yuan Tai, is it alright that I did this?"

Ning Yuantai patted his chest, "Of course it's fine, don't worry. You're one of our Sixth Agency's people. Letting them onto the plane was already pushing their luck. They wanted to take things away from us? We'd give them a good thrashing!"

Xue Jing sighed softly, "I'm sorry to have troubled you."

Ning Yuantai sighed, "What are you talking about? If it weren't for giving you face, I would have already started fighting with these Black Tide bastards..."

"But your cat..."

Ning Yuantai looked at the cat thoughtfully, pausing for a moment on the platinum tail ring.

"I see." He nodded, and said tactfully:

"Please rest for a while, I'll go make a call to my superiors and give them some instructions."

After saying that, he left the small cubicle.

After he left, the cat looked at Xue Jing with an innocent expression.

"...Have I gotten into trouble again?"

Xue Jing pondered and said, "No, based on past experience, it should be my fault."

He gradually reconciled with himself and began to believe that he was a 'naturally born with a divine body'.

"However, this should just be a minor matter with no follow-up. The Yuancheng government and the Sixth Agency will probably just contact each other to explain and that will be the end of it."

Xue Jing thought for a moment, then said uncertainly, "...probably."

The cat placed its two front paws on his knees and whispered in a childish voice:

"Ah Jing, thank you."

Xue Jing was lost in thought when he heard this and turned to look at her, asking in confusion, "What are you thanking me for?"

There seemed to be a shimmering light in the cat's emerald-green vertical pupils:

"Just now, you chose to protect me without hesitation."

Xue Jing smiled and patted her head, saying:

"wrong."

Cat: "Hmm?"

"I didn't choose to protect you; there was never even a choice to be made."

Xue Jing smiled and said, "You are my family. Protecting you is my natural instinct, without any consideration for personal gain."

"Ah Jing..." Ning Fengwan's heart suddenly raced, pounding wildly.

Xue Jing stroked his chin, then suddenly pulled out the [Proof of Love] from his pocket and pressed the button on the right side towards Ning Fengwan.

Numbers began to appear on the electronic screen, constantly changing, and soon reached four digits, displaying the specific number.

【2178】

【2181】

【2215】

[2257]...

The number kept rising, eventually settling at [2313].

Ning Fengwan, who was just feeling touched, froze.

She knew about the [Proof of Love]; Xue Jing had already explained its function to her before.

Xue Jing had asked her before if she wanted to take a test, but she refused without hesitation, saying that she was afraid of hurting Xue Jing's feelings and that she had very low feelings for him.

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