The system is the proficiency panel

Inside the Xuantian City Lord's Mansion, the light of the formation flashed slightly, and the figures of Lin Ji and Xiao Ningxue quietly emerged. The defense formation in the mansion had no reaction to them, as if it was welcoming its master home. Lin Ji tapped his fingertips lightly, and the water state of mind silently dissipated, revealing the figures of the two.

In the office, Luo Youran was reviewing documents at her desk, her black hair cascading down her shoulders, her brows slightly furrowed, revealing a hint of fatigue. Garnier was floating beside her, with data streams flashing in his blood-red eyes, helping her deal with the complicated government affairs.

"The Third Mining District applied for an increase in the budget for the protective formation. The reason is..."

Before Luo Youran finished speaking, she suddenly heard a slight noise coming from the door. She looked up in confusion, and paused with the jade pen in her hand, leaving a small mark of ink on the paper.

The door slid open silently, and the sunlight shone in obliquely, outlining two familiar figures. Luo Youran's pupils suddenly contracted, and the jade pen in his hand fell on the table with a "click".

"Owner?"

Her voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible, as if she was afraid of disturbing a dream. The next second, she stood up suddenly, her purple clothes fluttering as she rushed to the door like a gust of wind, ignoring the scattered documents on the table and Garnier's surprised eyes, and threw herself directly into Lin Ji's arms.

"You Ran, I'm back."

Lin Ji opened his arms, caught her steadily, and his voice was as gentle as water.

Luo Youran hugged him tightly, her cheek pressed against his chest, greedily breathing in the familiar scent. Her arms were shaking with strength, as if she wanted to rub him into her bones and blood.

"Three years... you're finally back..."

Her voice was muffled and choked with sobs.

Xiao Ningxue stood aside, her lips slightly raised, her eyes full of tenderness. She had monopolized Lin Ji's time for a while, so she generously did not disturb the joy of their reunion.

A minute passed, and seeing that Luo Youran still had no intention of letting go, Xiao Ningxue coughed lightly and said lightly.

"You Ran, my husband has just returned and there are many things to deal with."

Luo Youran reluctantly let go of his hand, but still tightly grasped Lin Ji's sleeve, fearing that he would disappear again. She raised her face and looked at him carefully, her eyes tracing his eyebrows, nose, and lips, as if to fill in the blanks of the past three years.

"you lost weight."

She whispered, caressing his cheek with her fingertips.

Lin Ji held her hand and smiled.

"The food on Water Blue Planet is not as good as that on Kaiyang Planet."

Garnier was quietly floating on the side, watching the three people with bloodshot eyes. After spending a year with Xiao Ningxue and Luo Youran, she was already familiar with their calm and self-controlled appearance, but it was the first time she saw them so relaxed - the smile in their eyes was unreserved, as if the whole world only had the people in front of them.

"so good……"

Garnier murmured in a low voice, the data flow in her eyes slightly stagnated. She suddenly remembered the last time before the destruction of the Karel Galaxy, the Karel people hugging and crying. She hadn't felt such warmth for a long time.

Luo Youran then remembered that Garnier was still there, and turned around to say apologetically.

"Garnier, I'm sorry, I'll leave these matters to you for now."

Garnier nodded slightly.

"Okay, you go."

The three of them left the office and came to the pavilion in the courtyard. The setting sun cast a golden hue on the stone table in the pavilion. Luo Youran and Xiao Ningxue sat down, one on each side of Lin Ji, as if they had returned to three years ago.

"Tell me, what happened in the past three years?"

Lin Ji asked gently, his eyes moving between the two of them.

Luo Youran leaned on his shoulder, her black hair falling like a waterfall, and spoke softly.

"After you left, Ningxue and I followed your plan to gradually stabilize the territory of the Xuantian Empire and encourage population growth. Garnier's technology has greatly improved the lives of mortals. Now most cities have built spiritual power-driven trains..."

Xiao Ningxue took over the conversation and recounted the development of the Silver Thunder mecha, the emergence of the abyss rift, and the formation of the expeditionary force. Her white hair shone softly in the sunset, and her tone was calm, but she couldn't hide the pride in her eyes.

Lin Ji listened quietly, nodding from time to time, and asking for details from time to time. When he heard about the specific effects of the blood marrow crystal, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes; when he learned that mortal pilots fought one after another, he couldn't help but be moved.

The setting sun gradually sank into the horizon, and the stars quietly emerged. The three people in the pavilion were unaware of this, and were still immersed in the joy of reunion. The three years of separation seemed to be completely made up at this moment.

The night breeze blows gently, bringing a faint scent of flowers.

……

The morning sun shone through the window lattice into the house, casting mottled light and shadows on the floor. Lin Ji opened his eyes and felt the soft touch of the person in his arms. He looked down and saw Xiao Ningxue curled up on his chest, her white hair spread on the pillow like snow, making her skin look like jade. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, as if she was still immersed in a dream, but there was a hint of satisfaction at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Ji gently stroked her hair, his fingertips lingering on her cheek, his heart filled with infinite tenderness. After three years of separation, the warmth at this moment seemed particularly precious. He lowered his head and placed a kiss on her forehead. Xiao Ningxue seemed to be aware of it and moved slightly, but she did not wake up. Instead, she rubbed against his arms, like a lazy cat.

Lin Ji couldn't help but chuckle, and was about to tease her again when there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Master, Ningxue, it's time to get up!"

Luo Youran's voice came from outside the door, with a hint of resentment in her tone and a slight stomping sound.

Xiao Ningxue then opened her eyes dazedly, met Lin Ji's smiling eyes, and her cheeks flushed slightly. She was about to speak when the door was knocked twice again, this time with more force.

"If you don't get up now, the breakfast will get cold!"

Lin Ji shook his head helplessly and gently pinched Xiao Ningxue's face.

"It looks like someone can't wait any longer."

Xiao Ningxue snorted softly, sat up slowly, gathered her messy white hair, glanced in the direction of the door, and whispered.

"She must not have slept well last night."

Lin Ji laughed, stood up, put on his outer robe, walked to the door and opened it.

Luo Youran was standing outside the door holding an exquisite food box. Her purple dress made her skin look as white as snow. When she saw Lin Ji open the door, her eyes lit up, but then she curled her lips and said in a sour tone.

"Are you finally willing to give it up?"

Lin Ji reached out to take the food box, pinched her cheek lightly and smiled.

"Thank you for your hard work, Youran."

Luo Youran's ears turned red, and she snorted softly, walked around him and walked into the house, her eyes fell on Xiao Ningxue who had just stood up. Xiao Ningxue was lowering her head to tie her belt, and there were still a few faint red marks on her snow-white neck. Luo Youran narrowed his eyes and said in a teasing tone.

"You looked like you had a good rest last night?"

Xiao Ningxue paused, raised her eyes and glanced at her lightly, but did not respond, only her ears turned slightly red.

Seeing this, Luo Youran felt inexplicably better and placed the spiritual food in the food box on the table one by one. The crystal clear spiritual rice porridge exuded a faint fragrance, a few plates of spiritual fruits and side dishes were bright in color, and there was also a pot of warm spiritual tea, the fragrance of the tea was curling and refreshing.

Lin Ji walked to the table and sat down, put his arm around Luo Youran's waist, asked her to sit next to him, and said gently.

"Stop making trouble and eat together."

Luo Youran then smiled, leaned on his shoulder obediently, and spoke softly.

"Master, you won't leave suddenly again when you come back this time, right?"

Lin Ji rubbed the top of her head and spoke in a firm tone.

"No, at least not in the short term."

Xiao Ningxue also came over and sat down on the other side of Lin Ji. The three of them sat around the table and enjoyed a long-lost warm breakfast.
