Starting from Douluo Continent, I've become a god through daily check-ins.

Chapter 306 Return

"Did you admit it?" Ichigo asked.

Ling Er said, "Whatever, I'm going to see Darling." With that, she turned and walked towards the ward.

Ichigo quickly stepped in front of Zero-Two, looking at him and saying, "When you first came, I couldn't accept it, but as you gradually integrated into the team, I thought... we were finally comrades."

Zero Two lowered his head, seemingly enduring something as well. "Comrades? That kind of thing doesn't matter at all."

Ichigo was startled. After regaining her senses, she gritted her teeth and said, "Stop talking and get out of the way." With that, she reached out and pulled Ichigo away.

Ichigo grabbed Zero's hand. Zero was startled, then slightly raised his head to look at Ichigo in front of him. Ichigo said, "I don't care what you think, I will never allow you to see Zero again!" Ichigo looked up, tears glistening in the corners of her eyes. Seeing Ichigo like this, and hearing what she said, Zero clenched his teeth, his left hand also gripping tightly.

"You've lied to Zero and everyone else from the very beginning. There's no place for you here anymore!" Ichigo said.

……

Zero slowly opened her eyes, looking at the chandelier on the ceiling. Her gaze shifted to the right, to the right of the hospital bed, where Ichigo and Kokoro were talking about something. Seemingly hearing a sound, Ichigo and Kokoro looked over together.

"zero!"

"Very good."

Mei was somewhat surprised, while Xin seemed relieved.

"Yo! Welcome back." Goro's voice rang out from the right. Zero turned his head to look to the right, where Goro, Tai, and Kumo were.

"Ah, I thought you were really going to die this time." Miku said, giving Zero a hard pat on the shoulder. "You're finally alive."

"If you rest well, you'll recover quickly. That's great, Zero," Tai said.

Zero asked, "Um, what about Zero Two?"

Upon hearing "Zero Question 2," everyone hesitated. No one spoke until Ichigo finally said, "That girl didn't come. I didn't let her come. You know why, right?"

Zero touched her neck and chuckled. "Just because of that? To be honest, killing me wouldn't be enough for her."

After speaking, Zero lowered his hand, and the mark on his neck disappeared at a visible speed. Everyone was shocked, but this was not the end. Zero's hair turned from black to silver-white and grew wildly until it reached his waist before stopping.

"Zero..." Ichigo exclaimed in surprise.

Ling smiled slightly. "I remember now, about the past. My name isn't Ling, it's... Jing Chen."

After Jing Chen finished speaking, everyone could clearly see that his eyes were completely different. That look wasn't the confusion of zero, but a look filled with an abyss, filled with a galaxy!

Suddenly, a person appeared in the ward. Upon closer inspection, wasn't this the mysterious person who had appeared with Jing Chen to rescue Wu Lang? The mysterious person arrived and immediately saw Jing Chen sitting on the hospital bed. He smiled and said, "You've finally returned." The mysterious person removed his black robe, and the face beneath the robe was exactly the same as Jing Chen's! Everyone was bewildered. What was going on?

"You've endured all this alone for so long, it must have been tough for you," Jing Chen said to the person who looked exactly like him.

The mysterious man shook his head. "It's not hard work, Venerable One. Everything I've done is just to make waiting for you to come back less tiring."

Jing Chen smiled, waved his hand, and the mysterious man vanished, leaving only a black robe on the ground. All eyes were on Jing Chen, who said, "I caused you a lot of trouble before I lost my memory, and I thank you for your help."

"So now... are you Zero, or Jingchen?" Wulang asked.

Jing Chen said, "I am still the Jing Chen you all know. You can all go out now, Mei, you stay."

Everyone nodded and left one by one. Mei sat on the edge of the bed, watching her companions leave one by one. The door to the ward closed, and Mei turned to look at Jing Chen. She didn't know why Jing Chen had called her, but she guessed it was probably because he wouldn't let Ling Er visit him.

Jing Chen smiled, unable to hold back his laughter at Mei's nervous expression. Mei looked at Jing Chen with a puzzled expression, and Jing Chen said, "Mei, I want to hear your honest answer. Do you like me?"

"Huh?" Ichigo was startled, her eyes darting around, looking somewhat uneasy, her face slightly flushed. "Why, why are you asking this?"

"I just want to know the answer. I really like Berry, I really, really like her. But I'm afraid you don't like me, so I want to know your answer," Jing Chen said earnestly.

Seeing Jing Chen's expression, Mei fell silent, lowering her head to look at the white blanket. After a long while, Mei said, "I like you."

Jing Chen smiled and pulled Mei into his arms. Mei was a little surprised and hadn't quite processed what was happening. Jing Chen didn't care whether she reacted or not and kissed her directly. Mei's eyes widened, completely unprepared. After a long while, Jing Chen slowly released Mei, looked at Mei panting heavily in his arms, and smiled.

"Remember what I said before? You can only kiss the most important person to you. So, from today onwards, you're mine," Jing Chen said with a smile.

Mei lay in Jing Chen's arms. After hearing his words, her face flushed crimson, and she buried her face in his chest. That kiss wasn't just a simple kiss; it made Mei understand many things. She also learned that Jing Chen's background was far from simple. Moreover, she learned that Jing Chen didn't only have her as a woman…

However, Mei didn't want to think about anything else right now. Just being able to stay by Jing Chen's side was enough for her. Jing Chen said, "Mei, 02..."

"You're not still thinking of going to see her, are you?" Mei suddenly looked up at Jing Chen and asked.

Jing Chen gently ruffled Mei's hair. "Don't worry, I've regained my memories now, she can't hurt me. After seeing those things, don't you understand my strength?"

Mei puffed out her cheeks in a huff. Seeing Mei's adorable expression, Jing Chen couldn't resist pinching her cheek, which instantly turned Mei's face bright red.

"Alright, go out and deal with those people outside for me. I need to go back," Jing Chen said.

"Okay, can you take me to see it next time?" Ichigo asked.

Jing Chen gently brushed Mei's nose. "Don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Mei got out of bed and went outside to explain to the group of people that Jing Chen still needed to rest. She told them to go back first. Jing Chen waved his hand, creating an illusion to confuse the cameras, then opened a portal and went inside.

A flash of white light streaked before his eyes. Jing Chen instinctively closed them, and when he opened them again, he was already at the entrance of the Hundred Flowers Garden. He smiled lightly, just about to step inside, when the garden's gates suddenly burst open, and a dozen or so women rushed out. These women were naturally Xiao Wu and her companions.

Jing Chen opened his arms to welcome the women's embrace.
