164: Chapter 164 Star Beast Gathering

Xing Yaoyan followed the group to an inconspicuous corner.

She saw Yuehua tap the wall a few times, and a blue thread appeared on the wall.

"Clack, clack..."

Along with several crisp metallic clashing sounds, a secret passage suddenly appeared on the originally smooth wall.

"Snap!"

Moss snapped his fingers, and the passage was instantly brightly lit.

Everyone walked in one after another.

"Young Miss Xing Yan, what are you looking at?"

Moss deliberately stayed at the very back.

He saw Xing Yaoyan still standing there observing the environment inside, looking deep in thought.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking that while the environment here looks ordinary, I didn't expect it to have such a hidden paradise..."

Xing Yaoyan then shifted her gaze to Moss's face.

After confirming once more that she didn't sense any malicious red light, she finally walked in past Moss.

"Hum~"

A slight sense of dizziness flashed by.

Xing Yaoyan instantly realized she must have just passed through a Teleportation Spirit Array. She knew this so-called Star Nest couldn't possibly be inside this bar.

The main group had already disappeared around the corner ahead, so Xing Yaoyan quickened her pace to catch up.

A bright light flashed.

Xing Yaoyan was surprised to find herself standing on a vast grassland.

There were several independent houses around, and the sky was a brilliant river of stars; so although it still looked like night, the light was still very good.

The two men and two women from before were long gone, replaced by a young beast, a little girl covered in blue light patterns, and a boy and girl with horns on their heads.

"Ah~ it's still more comfortable here. The bar outside is full of the unpleasant smell of alcohol, and the cigarette smoke is very choking."

A familiar voice came from the little girl's mouth.

"You are... Yuehua?"

Xing Yaoyan looked at the Yuehua before her, who was almost a completely different person, with some surprise.

But before Yuehua could answer, a complaining voice rang out.

"Exactly, exactly. If it weren't for work, I wouldn't want to go back at all."

This was said by the young beast that looked like a combination of a tiger and a leopard; although it was called a young beast, its body was a circle larger than Xing Yaoyan's beast form when she had two marks.

"Chi Xie, you're still complaining? Having such a stable place for us to stay is already a huge blessing. Do you really want to go back to those hard days of hiding like before?"

The little girl with horns didn't indulge the young beast at all, running over and jumping onto his back.

Chi Xie only offered a symbolic resistance before lying on the ground and playing dead as if accepting his fate.

"Mo Yuling, control your temper. There are others watching, don't embarrass us."

Hearing the words of the other horned boy, Mo Yuling jumped off Chi Xie's back resentfully.

"I know, brother..."

Seeing that his sister was no longer causing trouble, the boy then turned to look at Xing Yaoyan, who was watching their interaction with great interest.

"Um, why haven't you released your disguise yet?"

"Me?"

Xing Yaoyan pointed at herself in confusion.

"Should I transform into my original form like you guys? Aren't you afraid I'll just eat you?"

After saying that, Xing Yaoyan struck a fierce pose. In the next moment, before the Star Beasts' eyes, a giant wolf head phantom quickly flashed across the young girl's face.

A tremor from the Soul instantly made them break out in a cold sweat.

Chi Xie's reaction was clearly the most profound; originally lying down, he suddenly shot into the air as if struck by lightning, then accidentally dove headfirst into a nearby pit, with his two legs kicking outside.

Looking at the terrified crowd before her, Xing Yaoyan suddenly found it a bit funny. She thought to herself that if they couldn't even handle a slight release of her aura, they'd be scared witless if she actually revealed her true form.

Since reaching the third rank, she had never transformed into her original form, but she had a feeling her wolf form should be much larger than before, with a body length reaching an astonishing ten meters or so.

She was actually quite surprised herself; the only other Star Beast present who was also in beast form like her was also at the third rank, yet his size was far inferior to hers.

Furthermore, he seemed to be a young beast, which overturned her previous idea that "advancing equals growing up."

"So... just how big am I..."

This question she had ignored long ago resurfaced in her mind.

"Young Miss Xing Yan, stop playing. The pressure from your Bloodline has terrified them..."

Moss's voice came from behind.

Xing Yaoyan turned around, and what met her eyes was an elegant man with a somewhat illusory figure, completely different from "Moss's" previous face.

"Dream Beast! She... she..."

Chi Xie finally pulled himself out of the pit and pointed at Xing Yaoyan in terror.

"Little Xie, I told you to be more composed. Isn't she just the main race of your Flame Tiger tribe, the Heaven-Swallowing Star Wolf? She won't actually eat you..."

"If I had known Young Miss Xing Yan was a Heaven-Swallowing Star Wolf, I would have paid you to join us!"

Upon hearing the words "Heaven-Swallowing Star Wolf," Chi Xie's tiger body visibly shuddered again, and he didn't dare look at Xing Yaoyan at all.

"Eh? When did you find out my race?"

Xing Yaoyan was a bit confused. It wasn't like she hadn't shown her power before him, but he hadn't recognized it then. So, the reason I was exposed...

Is this strange place!

"This is our Star Nest in Kyoto. It can be considered a small world, equipped with sensing devices that deeply analyze Astral Power. Of course, this definitely isn't human technology, but something made by Yuehua of the Intellectual Mechanical Clan!"

Xing Yaoyan then turned to look at the girl with the blue light patterns; she was holding her head high with a proud expression.

"Their Intellectual Mechanical Clan isn't like the robots in human concepts; they should be considered mechanical lifeforms. Every Machina lifeform automatically receives the public knowledge base stored on the terminal from birth. As long as their strength increases later, they can even build stellar-level world-destroying weapons."

"And that is Chi Xie. As I just introduced, he is a member of a subsidiary tribe of your Heaven-Swallowing Star Wolf. You have a very strong Bloodline suppression over him. So in the future, it's best if you suppress your aura a bit while you're here..."

"I... I'm not afraid..."

Chi Xie's voice was a bit shaky.

"Little kitty, you should wait until you can stand steadily before you talk, otherwise you have no credibility at all... Hahaha..."

Mo Yuling laughed so hard she was doubled over.

Seemingly having no way to deal with his sister's behavior, the boy with horns on his head held his forehead and shook his head.

"Hello, Sister Xing Yan. My name is Mo Youming, and that's my sister Mo Yuling. We are from the Starry Demon Race."

It seemed that after feeling her Bloodline pressure, the boy's tone had become significantly more respectful.
