"You're not really planning to start your own city, are you? You're an eight-winged angel now, don't you plan to return to the Holy City in glory?" Hua Zhanhong asked, a cigarette between his fingers, looking at Luo Xiao with suspicion.

For the wandering angels, reaching a certain level of cultivation usually means encountering a bottleneck when they have eight wings. At this point, they need to do something big: increase their fame, accumulate enough prestige and power, and finally return to the Holy City in glory.

Only by relying on the secret methods passed down through generations in the Holy City can the angelic soul embryo's status and its own strength be further enhanced.

But this is not absolute.

There was once a brilliant and talented wandering angel who cultivated himself to sixteen wings, but never set foot in the Holy City until his death.

It wasn't until a certain emperor-level demon was born that the long-hidden sixteen-winged angel had no choice but to take action, thus exposing himself to the world's attention.

"Why would I go back to the Holy City? To listen to those old fogies pray?" Luo Xiao retorted, his tone tinged with disdain.

He is now a rare "double victim".

If, upon returning to the Holy City, those angels and charlatans discover something amiss, I'll likely be hunted down as if it were another angel's triumphant return mission before I even have a chance to improve my strength.

There are also power struggles within the Holy City. An angel burdened with the power of suffering might become a stepping stone for other angels to return to glory.

Although he didn't think that with the White Jade Qilin as a supreme treasure, the Holy City could still see through his disguise, he was just being cautious.

He had no intention of returning to that so-called "holy land of magic" until he had cultivated his light or water magic to the level of forbidden spells and possessed the absolute strength to protect himself.

"Alright, whatever you want." Hua Zhanhong didn't ask any further questions. Judging from Luo Xiao's behavior over the past few years, staying in the country would only bring him benefits and no harm.

Regardless, this is a potential forbidden spell-level combatant.

As long as there are no downsides, as a high-ranking military officer, he would naturally be more than happy for Luo Xiao to stay in the country for a few more years.

"Let's not talk about that. What about your cousin?" Hua Zhanhong changed the subject.

"I'll go get her."

Luo Xiao turned and entered one of the Mu family's villas. In the living room on the second floor, Mu Nujiao and Mu Nuxin were both there, talking quietly to each other, the atmosphere somewhat cheerful.

"Brother Luo Xiao, you're back?"

Mu Nuxin, with her sharp eyes, saw Luo Xiao enter and immediately abandoned her sister to run over, affectionately hugging his arm. Her big eyes sparkled, as if they held stars.

"Xin Xin, I've got something that can help you awaken your magic. Do you want it?" Luo Xiao rubbed her head and asked with a smile.

"It can help me awaken magic? Really?!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Nuxin's pupils contracted sharply, and an astonishing light flashed in her eyes. How could she not want to awaken magic?

In this world where magic reigns supreme, being unable to awaken magic means being a useless person.

She can't even control her own life. She can't decide who she will marry, how many children she will have, or even what clothes she will wear.

Only by awakening magic and mastering power can she take her destiny into her own hands!

"It seems you really want to awaken." Luo Xiao smiled as he looked at her excited expression.

"Mmm! When do we start? Now?" Mu Nuxin nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.

"There's no time like the present, let's do it now. Come on, Jiaojiao, you come too." Luo Xiao looked up at Mu Nujiao, who was standing not far away.

"What rare treasure have you found?" Mu Nujiao stepped forward and couldn't help but ask.

The Mu family had considered ways to help Mu Nuxin awaken, but since the Awakening Stone couldn't awaken her, only two extremely difficult methods remained.

One is "self-awakening," which means that in the moment when life is on the verge of collapse and the spirit is in a state of extreme mental breakdown, there is a chance to forcefully break through the shackles.

But the probability is shockingly low. Throughout history, so many ordinary people have died tragically, and probably less than a hundred have been able to awaken to self-awareness.

Another method is to use a heaven-defying treasure of a higher rank, utilizing the supremely pure energy contained within it to forcibly activate the magical talent within the body.

Such a treasure, let alone the Mu family, even if all the aristocratic families in China were added together, probably wouldn't be enough to collect even half of it. So where did Luo Xiao get it from?

"You'll know when we get there, don't ask any more questions." Luo Xiao didn't explain, but smiled mysteriously.

Mu Nujiao was full of doubts, but she knew that Luo Xiao would not harm her sister, so she could only pull Mu Nuxin along and follow behind, walking out of the Mu family territory.

Outside the territory, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a simple military overcoat.

Their usually dignified grandfather, Mu Zhanxing, was standing beside the man, his posture extremely humble, his words full of reverence and politeness.

"...That's all for now. I'll have my adjutant handle the rest."

When Hua Zhanhong saw Luo Xiao come out, he stopped talking to Mu Zhanxing and waved goodbye to Luo Xiao after a brief farewell.

The four of them boarded a special military-plated off-road vehicle and sped towards the Oriental Pearl Tower, eventually arriving at the Awakening Room there.

Throughout the journey, the two sisters, Mu Nujiao and Mu Nuxin, dared not utter a sound. They couldn't understand who the middle-aged man driving was, nor could they comprehend why their grandfather was so obsequious to him.

However, judging from the faint yet profound aura emanating from the other party, he was definitely a military mage with terrifying strength!

At least a master of four super-level skills, or even a powerful expert with one foot in forbidden spells!

Otherwise, Mu Zhanxing would never have shown that kind of expression.

"A forced awakening requires the Awakening Room?"

After getting off the car, Luo Xiao looked at the somewhat luxurious Awakening Room in front of him and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"Of course you need one. Without the Awakening Stone as a medium, how can you guide the energy within your body? Rely on self-awakening? That would kill you." Hua Zhanhong glanced at him as if he were an idiot.

"Oh, I don't know, I'm not sure, you decide." Luo Xiao shrugged, looking like he was proud to be illiterate.

The group entered the Awakening Room.

There was only one middle-aged man in the room, holding a high-powered magnifying glass and frowning as he examined an awakening stone on the table, seemingly trying to figure out how to remove the excess impurities.

Hua Zhanhong walked over and patted the man on the shoulder.

"Who is it! Can't you see I'm busy..." Guo Liyu, who was about to lose his temper after being disturbed, turned around and saw a special red and gold-embossed ID card shoved in his face.

He glanced at it subconsciously, and froze instantly.

Good heavens! The commander of the Southern Military Region?!

Why would such a big shot come to his dilapidated Awakening Room?

"Your manager here? It's an emergency. I'm requisitioning your Awakening Stone on behalf of the Southern Military Region." Hua Zhanhong put away his identification, his tone leaving no room for argument. "I need the highest quality plant-based Awakening Stone, immediately!"

"No, no problem! I'll go prepare right away! Commander, please have a seat, please have a seat!"

Guo Liyu was so startled that his hand trembled, and he almost dropped the magnifying glass. He immediately put down his precious possession and rushed into the constant-temperature warehouse where the Awakening Stones were stored to search for them.

Military leader?!

Mu Nujiao and Mu Nuxin, who were following behind Luo Xiao, were completely dumbfounded. Their two beautiful eyes were wide open, big enough to fit two eggs.

They never expected that this middle-aged man, who had been chatting and laughing with Luo Xiao all the way and seemed incredibly easygoing, was actually a military commander!

That's the military leader, a forbidden spell level expert, a true national protector level mage, someone whose every stomp of his foot makes the whole country tremble!

No wonder Grandpa was so polite to him. If he hadn't been so polite, a single word from the other party could have easily wiped out the entire Mu family!
