167: Chapter 167 What adult would get angry with a child?

Sure enough, the strike that was meant to land hit its mark, but it struck a thin layer of golden armor that had suddenly appeared on the girl, dealing no damage at all.

"Crack!"

With a surge of strength in her fingers, the purple demonic blade shattered.

At the same time, the fireballs were completely absorbed. Xing Yaoyan immediately reached out and pinned down Chi Xie, who was still in mid-air with nowhere to land.

In the next moment, an unprecedentedly terrifying Aura manifested from her body, and the golden light on her hands became increasingly blinding.

"Wait! Don't..."

Seeing the girl like this, the Dream Beast was startled. Thinking she was going to get serious, it prepared to rescue the two Star Beasts from the hands of this Young Miss Xing Yan.

On the other side, Mo Youming and Yuehua seemed not to have reacted yet, their minds going completely blank.

"Sister... no!"

As if sensing the fear in Mo Yuling's heart, Mo Youming subconsciously let out a faint cry.

At that very moment, the powerful Aura vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.

Before everyone's eyes, the white-haired girl was gently stroking the heads of the two Star Beasts beside her, a bright, mischievous smile playing on her Face as if her prank had succeeded.

"Hahaha... Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

Saying this, she turned to look at the Dream Beast, whose own intimidating presence was slowly dissipating.

"Dream Beast, you too. Why such little trust in your partner? Tell me, how could an adult get angry at a child..."

The Dream Beast rubbed its Face awkwardly, thinking to itself:

That killing intent you just gave off felt so real, it made me look like I was overreacting...

Xing Yaoyan once again gave Chi Xie's head a rough, secretive rub.

This Flame Tiger's head was quite nice to pet. In terms of feel, it was actually very similar to Little Chaos, but Little Chaos had no fur; by comparison, this one felt even better.

However, Chi Xie didn't seem to have recovered yet, showing no reaction at all to her slightly rough movements.

Tsk... how boring...

Xing Yaoyan turned her attention to the Starry Demon girl under her other hand.

Mo Yuling and Mo Youming were the most human-like Star Beasts among this group besides herself. Looking at Mo Yuling's cute Face, her thoughts drifted toward the distant future...

If I have children in the future...

Pah, pah, pah! What am I thinking... I'm a man... I don't want to give birth...

Besides, even if I were to have one, with whom...

A Face flashed through her mind.

Snap!

Her straying thoughts came to a screeching halt, forcibly cut off by her own will.

"Ugh!"

The girl's strange soft groan caught her attention.

"What's wrong?"

Xing Yaoyan looked down at the cute little girl under her palm and saw her cheeks slowly turning red, like a ripe apple.

"Do you have a fever? But my hand doesn't feel like your head is hot... No! How could a Star Beast get sick..."

While Xing Yaoyan was completely baffled, Mo Youming's voice came from over there:

"Sister Xing Yan, you touched my sister's horns. In our Demon Race traditions, only family or romantic partners can touch each other's horns. Especially for females..."

"Oh! I'm so sorry..."

Xing Yaoyan smiled apologetically and quickly pulled her hand away from the girl's head.

It turned out she had been so lost in thought that she hadn't noticed her hand had subconsciously moved to the small horns on Mo Yuling's head.

"You can't just let it go like this, Sister Xing Yan... you have to compensate me..."

Mo Yuling's voice was very small, clearly lacking in confidence.

It seemed that after her confident, full-strength strike was so easily blocked by Xing Yaoyan, her Dao Heart had shattered. Then, being teased like that by Xing Yaoyan, she felt she was losing Face and could only express her dissatisfaction this way.

"Alright, what do you want?"

To her surprise, the white-haired girl actually squatted down in front of her, looking up at her and clearly agreeing to her somewhat childish venting.

The girl's eyes were very bright, her golden pupils seeming to contain countless brilliant starlights.

"I..." She was momentarily stunned.

"Your name is Chi Xie, right?"

Xing Yaoyan turned to look at the other Star Beast who was still dazed on the spot, a friendly smile on her Face.

"I really don't know how my clan treated yours, but please believe me, I'm probably not like the Heaven-Swallowing Star Wolf in your stereotypes."

"Indeed..."

Chi Xie lowered his head and muttered, looking quite embarrassed.

For some reason, the awkwardness of these two Star Beasts caused a ripple in Xing Yaoyan's heart.

She had long felt it; although she was usually very pragmatic, she was unexpectedly gentle when it came to Star Beasts.

She would feel sad for a dying Star Beast, she wouldn't abandon a damaged Star Soul, she had unconditional trust in Little Chaos and Xiao Dao in her Spiritual Sea, and she even felt this irrational closeness to these Star Beasts she had known for less than a day...

She didn't understand why; it was like a completely subconscious behavior, as if she was meant to be this way.

"Sister Xing Yan... can I see your true form? The beast form of the Heaven-Swallowing Star Wolf..."

The girl's voice rang in her ear.

"I can, but..."

Xing Yaoyan first looked at Chi Xie. She knew from everyone's snippets of conversation that this child of the Flame Tiger clan, a subordinate race to her Heaven-Swallowing Star Wolf clan, was terrified of her Bloodline Power. Thus, she had some reservations.

"I actually really want to see it too..."

To her surprise, Chi Xie seemed even more curious about her original form. It was like a child who knows a kettle is hot but sometimes just can't help reaching out to touch it.

"Alright, as you wish."

With a thought from Xing Yaoyan,

Golden light suddenly flashed on the girl. In an instant, a white wolf about ten meters long with pale golden stripes appeared right where she had been standing.

"This... this is the true form of the Heaven-Swallowing Star Wolf... so cool..."

Mo Yuling's mouth hung open.

"Chi Xie, look at how big Sister Xing Yan's wolf form is. You're both Three-Mark Level, why are you so much smaller than her?"

"I can't help it... I'm just a cub, Sister Xing Yan clearly looks like an adult, okay..."

Although his Bloodline continued to tremble under the pressure of Xing Yaoyan's Aura, Chi Xie still stared wide-eyed at the Star Beast that had caused his Flame Tiger clan to flee.
