187: Chapter 187 Mother?

"Hahahaha!!! Yes! This is the feeling!"

As soon as the two of them entered, they heard a piercing burst of laughter.

The bar was a total mess. Standing right in the center of the chaos was a ragged, incredibly unkempt middle-aged man. He was pouring beer from a bottle into his mouth while his body swayed and twisted haphazardly, looking for all the world like a complete drunkard.

"Oh? I knew more than one would come. This is great..."

Upon seeing the two newcomers, the man's eyes seemed to light up instantly.

In the next moment, a thick, bloody Aura surged from his body.

"Roar!"

One of his hands suddenly bulked up to an enormous size, and slowly, a pair of giant beastly claws appeared at his sides.

He reached up and thrust his hand violently toward the ceiling, instantly punching a large hole through it and sending a shower of electrical sparks flying.

Almost a second later, the massive claws, carrying a terrifying Aura, slammed down directly toward Xing Yaoyan.

Clang!

Xing Yaoyan slightly lowered the hand she had already raised. In front of her, Crow was gripping his straight blade tightly, straining to block the attack of this half-human monster.

"Wolf! Go evacuate the crowd first, then go meet up with Owl. Although this guy only has a fourth-rank Aura, his strength is approaching the fifth rank. I'll hold him off!"

Crow shouted directly without looking back.

Clang!

Another sound of metal clashing rang out. Crow, who was significantly smaller than the giant claws, actually managed to force them back.

The ferocious Aura made Xing Yaoyan frown involuntarily.

She could tell something was wrong with this man.

Although the Aura on him was very similar to those from the Star Cult, his strength was terrifyingly high, which was highly abnormal.

Furthermore, she had a feeling that although his Aura looked daunting, his life force was rapidly declining, as if this were a final burst of energy before death.

"Fine."

Xing Yaoyan didn't hesitate for a moment, quickly bypassing the two combatants and running deeper inside.

From the current situation, things seemed much better than the worst-case scenario she had anticipated. At least Chi Xie and the others' identities as Star Beasts hadn't been exposed yet. Now she had to hurry and check on Qian Mo; he was with Chi Xie.

The place was a chaotic mess. Panicked crowds would bump into her from time to time, and some people, upon seeing her uniform, would run over and desperately grab her wrist, babbling incoherently for her to save them.

If it were Crow or other members of the Birdcage, they might have comforted them kindly or even escorted them to safety.

But Xing Yaoyan was not them...

"Get lost!"

An invisible shockwave suddenly erupted from the girl, knocking back everyone trying to crowd around her by several meters.

Due to the girl's terrible attitude, some people even tried to step forward to argue.

But in the next moment, Xing Yaoyan simply glared at them. It was as if a monster even more terrifying than the one they had just seen appeared before their eyes; that invisible, horrific Aura nearly caused their hearts to stop.

"If you don't get lost... heh heh..."

The girl gave a cold laugh, revealing her sharp fangs.

"Ahhh!!!"

Several women in the crowd screamed in terror and ran away, knocking over bottles and jars on the tables.

The others also didn't dare approach this psychotic Enforcer. Although in the panic they could vaguely see she was a pretty girl, the murderous Aura she emitted was enough to scare them senseless.

In an instant, a circular empty zone formed with Xing Yaoyan at the center.

"Move, move..."

But she wasn't done. Xing Yaoyan anxiously pushed through the crowd, parting them to both sides. The Auras here were already chaotic, and with so many people rushing about, the already difficult-to-track Auras of Qian Mo and the others became even fainter.

She had heard from the Dream Beast before that although this bar looked small from the outside, it was actually quite large. This was just the first floor; there were second and third underground levels for casinos and fighting rings... and the Star Nest was about a hundred meters underground.

This meant that if she accidentally took a wrong turn, she would undoubtedly waste a lot of time.

"Damn it..."

The surging crowd seemed endless. Xing Yaoyan looked at the panicked faces while the chaotic noise filled her ears.

Her shoulders trembled slightly.

An inexplicable surge of anger rose in her heart.

She really wanted to kill all these annoying people...

Suppressing the irritability in her heart, Xing Yaoyan finally broke through the flow of people and arrived at the place where the two Auras had disappeared. This was the VIP room Moss had brought her to before.

For some reason, the extremely noisy crowd outside had eerily vanished here. The hallway looked tidy, without a trace of chaos, as if it were isolated from the world.

She walked over slowly and pushed open the exquisite door of the VIP room.

The VIP room was no longer 'distinguished' at all. The chandelier lay shattered on the floor, blood stained the carpet, and the walls were covered in deep claw marks, looking like a scene from a horror movie...

However...

Sitting on the sofa was a thin, unnaturally pale little girl. Though her body was small, her hair was very long—silver-white hair like the Milky Way that almost reached the floor.

The table in front of her was piled high with a mountain of food, which she was currently devouring ravenously.

She wore a small white dress adorned with gold thread. Even though she was eating so fast that food was all over her face, miraculously, her dress remained perfectly clean.

Xing Yaoyan swallowed hard. For this girl to be eating so heartily in such an environment... she had to be a major boss!

Sure enough...

*Burp~*

The girl let out a cute burp and turned her head slightly to look toward the young woman.

An exquisite and adorable face appeared before Xing Yaoyan's eyes.

But... in the next moment, an incredibly strong sense of danger exploded in her mind.

Wait... I can't beat her... This girl is very wrong... I'm going to die! Die! Die!

She could feel the dangerous red light emanating from the girl growing deeper and deeper.

As a side note: her danger perception could not only detect things that threatened her but also indirectly reveal the opponent's strength. With this unprecedented level of danger, this girl was definitely at the seventh rank, or perhaps even higher...

Eighth rank... Ninth rank...

How is that possible... Why would the Star Cult send someone like this here? Why am I so unlucky to run into this bringer of death?!

"Another one disturbing my meal... I hate it..."

A soft, sweet voice came from her mouth, muffled by the food she was still chewing, giving her an almost cute feeling...

Cute... Why do I think she's cute! I'm about to die!

She saw the little girl reach out a small hand toward her. In an instant, an infinite, terrifying Aura completely locked onto her.

Under the pressure of this girl's absolute strength, she didn't have the slightest room to resist...

It's over... I just reached the Four Marks... What kind of god-awful matchmaking is this!

Just as she closed her eyes to wait for death... suddenly, she felt the terrifying killing intent abruptly vanish.

At the same time, she felt a weight on her waist, as if a small cat had latched onto her.

"Waaaah~~ Mama... You're finally back!"
