At this moment, the out-of-control passenger jet had already soared ten thousand meters into the sky.

But soon, it would dive again, only to shoot straight back up into the clouds. Its path resembled a sine wave, rising and falling dramatically. Once the fuel ran out, or if the damage to the wings worsened and caused the fuselage to disintegrate, all two hundred-plus lives on board would be lost.

Inside the cockpit, Yun Wanzhou had accepted her fate. She had already done everything that could and needed to be done. Now, she could only leave it to destiny.

"Miss Yun, can you hear me?"

Suddenly, Luo Xiu's voice resounded in her mind.

"Mister... Mister Luo? How are you..."

"I'm communicating with you using Divine Sense. What's the situation on your end?"

Yun Wanzhou replied, "The plane's control systems have completely failed. There's nothing I can do. Thankfully, the engines are still running at maximum power, so we can glide for a while longer."

Luo Xiu said, "Do your best to contact the airport. I'm going to hold up the plane and bring it down to the designated airport."

"Hold... hold up the plane?"

Hearing this, Yun Wanzhou's eyes widened, thinking she must have misheard.

Luo Xiu said, "Don't panic. First, protect yourself and calm the passengers. Don't worry. With me here, no one will be hurt."

"Okay, I will."

A sudden sense of peace washed over Yun Wanzhou, and she stopped overthinking. She immediately began trying to contact ground control.

Shortly thereafter, Yun Wanzhou gradually felt the plane stabilize, the turbulence ceasing. After a moment of careful observation, it felt as if a powerful new engine had been attached to the bottom of the aircraft.

In just a few short hours, the entire population of Hua Country had their eyes fixed on the passenger jet, their hearts twisting with anxiety for the more than two hundred passengers on board.

In the Imperial Palace of the Capital City, Di Xuanji and Lu Nianjiao stood before a large screen, watching the live news reports with deeply furrowed brows.

Lu Nianjiao said, "According to the radar display, it seems to have stabilized."

Di Xuanji replied, "Let's just hope it lands safely."

Meanwhile, all major military commands had received Di Xuanji's orders, urgently dispatching fighter jets high into the sky to search for the missing passenger jet.

When the pilots finally found the aircraft amidst the clouds, they were stunned by the scene before them. A young man was flying underneath the passenger jet, holding it up with a single hand! This shockingly impactful sight left all the pilots speechless.

***

Back in the Imperial Palace, Di Xuanji suddenly received a phone call. It was from one of the military commands. After she hung up, a smile bloomed on her face.

A curious Lu Nianjiao asked, "What's going on? You look so happy."

Di Xuanji replied, "It must be Little Mule."

Lu Nianjiao's beautiful eyes widened in surprise. "Little Mule?"

Not long after, Di Xuanji's personal computer received several photos from the military command. In the photos, a blurred figure could be seen holding the jet, guiding it in for a smooth landing.

「Two hours later, at Sea City International Airport.」

Under the watchful eyes of onlookers and media reporters, the passenger jet descended steadily, slowly, and almost vertically.

The fire trucks already stationed at the airport moved into position at once, with ambulances and paramedics following closely behind.

The crowd stared in disbelief. A landing like this defied the laws of physics.

Only when the plane had safely touched down and they saw the figure holding it up from below did it finally dawn on everyone what was happening. But this realization was immediately followed by a greater mystery that filled their minds: what kind of person could possibly hold up an airplane and land it from so high in the sky?

The media reporters had no time to ponder this. They immediately raised their cameras and began snapping photos frantically.

"Daddy!"

The moment she stepped off the plane, Lin Shan Shan spotted Luo Xiu waiting and happily threw herself at him. Luo Xiu caught her in his arms and lifted her high into the air.

"Were you scared?"

Lin Shan Shan said with a proud pout, "Not at all. Shan Shan is very brave."

"Besides, Shan Shan knew that Daddy is a superhero and would definitely come to save me." As she spoke, her face was filled with nothing but pride.

Luo Xiu gently set her down. "Go straight home with Grandpa later, okay? Daddy has to go fight some bad guys."

"Okay, go, Daddy, go!"

Luo Xiu glanced at Yun Wanzhou, who was standing nearby with tear-rimmed eyes, and gave her a nod of gratitude. If it weren't for Yun Wanzhou keeping her composure in the face of danger, Luo Xiu couldn't imagine what would have happened.

"Captain Yun, thank you for your hard work."

Yun Wanzhou looked at him with a peculiar expression.

Just then, Lin Youpeng stepped forward and patted Luo Xiu on the shoulder. "When you go to the front lines... be careful."

"I will."

Lin Youpeng's lips parted as if to speak, but he stopped himself, suddenly breaking into laughter instead. "Luo Xiu, let's have a drink sometime when you're free."

"Sure."

***

Amidst the astonished gasps of the onlookers, Luo Xiu shot straight into the sky, leaving a thunderous sonic boom in his wake. In the blink of an eye, the god-like man vanished from sight, as if he had never been there at all.

But in an incredibly short time, his photo spread like wildfire across all major online platforms. Some netizens even recognized him.

"Isn't that god-like man the Martial Champion from the Heavenly Martial Grand Ceremony?"

"It really is! That's Luo Xiu!"

"He's practically a god!"

"..."

「Sea City Riviera Villa District.」

When Zhang Cui saw Lin Shan Shan return home, she cried tears of joy and hugged her tightly. She had already seen the news and the photos that had gone viral online.

"Oh, thank goodness, Shan Shan! You scared Grandma to death!"

"Grandma, Daddy came and saved me. He also defeated a lot of monsters. He's even stronger than Mommy."

Zhang Cui looked up at the distant sky, wiped away her tears, and murmured, "Luo Xiu... thank you."

Just then, her phone rang. Zhang Cui took it out and saw it was a call from Lin Xiyue.

"Mom, I saw the news. Is Shan Shan alright?"

Zhang Cui smiled. "It was all thanks to Luo Xiu. If it weren't for him... I can't even imagine what would've happened."

Lin Shan Shan quickly snatched the phone. "Mommy, Mommy, I saw Dad! Just like you said, he really is a superhero!"

Lin Xiyue was silent for a moment, then said, "You be a good girl and stay at home. Listen to your grandma and grandpa."

Lin Xiyue had just seen the photos online of Luo Xiu holding Lin Shan Shan high in the air at the airport, so she had a general idea of what happened.

***

「In the military tent.」

Lin Xiyue gently put down her phone and murmured, "Luo Xiu, could it really be you?"

"Or could it be... you are Asura?"

***

「Huya Mountain.」

As soon as Luo Xiu landed, Master Ping, Da Qian, and Little Pouch rushed over to meet him.

Master Ping said urgently, "Kid, we have a problem! A big one!"

Hearing this, Luo Xiu frowned. "What could possibly make you this flustered?"

Da Qian spoke up, "After we chased that big iron bird, we came back to find the Flower Demon had vanished."

"Vanished?"

Luo Xiu's expression hardened at the news. He immediately released his Divine Sense to search for her, but found nothing.

Master Ping let out a sigh. "If she returns to the Holy Boi Religion, things could get very troublesome."
