252: Chapter 252 Miss Xingyan!!!

Without any surprise, the boy's hand gripped the mass of purple mist tightly.

And the next moment, the purple mist merged into the boy's hand without any obstruction, turning into streaks of purple patterns that rapidly spread up his arm.

In the blink of an eye, half of his body was completely covered by the patterns made of purple mist, looking as if he had instantly acquired a glowing purple tattoo on one side.

At the same time, Yun Lan let out a low growl, appearing to be in great pain.

"Huan Wuxing, is this guy going to be alright..."

Xing Yaoyan was also uncertain for a moment.

From the bottom of her heart, she did not want anything to happen to him, as he was, after all, a friend of Qian Mo.

In truth, she didn't want him to risk absorbing this special Breath of the Abyss either.

But she knew even better that the Star Cult had long since locked onto his approximate location; if she didn't take him down first, then once other Star Cult Priests made their move, he might suffer a fate worse than death.

It would be better to take him under her own command, where under her care, it would at least be better than falling into the hands of other Star Cult Priests.

Of course, if she said she had no selfish motives at all, that would definitely be a lie...

"Oh my~ it's a normal phenomenon, not everyone has as strong a resistance to the Breath of the Abyss as you do.

Honestly, for an ordinary person to ingest even a wisp of this Breath of the Abyss would be a life-or-death struggle.

It's also because of his identity as a Star Gazer that the Cult Master gave you this level of Breath of the Abyss."

Huan Wuxing explained, and through Xing Yaoyan's perspective, she was clearly watching the boy's painful appearance at this moment.

Suddenly, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, as if she had discovered something interesting.

But she didn't say anything more...

Fortunately, the surrounding area had been wrapped in Power Of Will by Xing Yaoyan beforehand, which served as an excellent barrier, so although Yun Lan's commotion looked quite significant, it did not actually attract anyone's attention.

After receiving confirmation from the "professional," Xing Yaoyan was no longer anxious.

Recalling the series of events that happened today in her mind, she still felt like it was all a dream.

First, meeting the uncle close to Qian Mo, then encountering an assassination attempt led personally by the Yao Race royalty; she had originally thought the matter had come to an end.

Yet, just when she was happiest about getting her ID card, news came that Uncle Yun had committed suicide and Qian Mo had been captured...

She had consciously used the power of the Star Pattern for the first time, and by taking advantage of the opponent's carelessness, she had luckily managed to suppress a Tier 7 Esper while being at a lower level.

Then came the secret visit from Tushan Qing, and the subsequent stone gambling with Hu Wang...

"Sigh..." Xing Yaoyan let out a sigh.

From that seemingly mocking consolation from Hu Wang, she could read one piece of information: this matter regarding Qian Mo must be solved by him personally, and could only be solved by him personally; she would only end up making things worse.

After calming down and thinking about it, it seemed she really couldn't help him with anything...

She turned her head and glanced at Yun Lan, who was still digesting the Breath of the Abyss.

At this moment, the boy was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his forehead covered in fine beads of sweat, while Little Guy was on his shoulder, looking at him with a worried expression.

Isn't it just like me before...

"Little Guy, come here to me, and you can go back after he finishes absorbing it." Xing Yaoyan reached out her hand to it.

"You can't help him; he has to pass this trial on his own, and besides... this is his own choice."

Although there was also an element of her half-pushing and half-forcing it...

Little Guy looked a bit hesitant, and its gaze towards her still carried vigilance.

"Sigh... it seems I acted a bit too much, even a Star Beast like you thinks I'm a big villain..."

Xing Yaoyan covered her face a bit sentimentally.

"But from the fact that I can understand what you're saying, you should have realized something, right... We are of the same kind, oh..."

As she spoke, Xing Yaoyan also deactivated the operation of Hidden Edge.

In Little Guy's perception, the aura on this "bad woman" before it instantly changed, shifting from the previous spiritual aura to an extremely pure Astral Power aura.

Not only that, with the deactivation of Hidden Edge, Xing Yaoyan's appearance was also revealed.

For a moment, her beautiful figure, combined with the aura that made all Star Beasts feel holy and close, was truly like an angel descended from heaven...

"Heixiu..." Little Guy subconsciously jumped onto her hand, while simultaneously spitting out a syllable.

"Eh? Even you know I am the Navigator; this codename of mine is recognized by all Star Beasts..."

Xing Yaoyan scratched her head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"You're asking me why I took away the Star Souls of other Star Beasts? And asking why I attacked your friend? Sigh... it seems you still don't understand the situation..."

Little Guy's tone carried a sobbing sound, as if it didn't understand why a Star Beast like itself, which radiated such a friendly aura, would do such a thing.

Xing Yaoyan's heart softened, and since she had to wait for Yun Lan anyway, she simply began to explain it to it patiently...

A few minutes later.

"How about it, now you know I'm not a bad person... And if this guy hadn't met me today, if it had been some other Star Cult Priest in the future, they wouldn't be as easy to talk to as me." Xing Yaoyan pointed to the boy over there and said with a serious face.

This black ball nodded while listening, but looking at its slightly dull eyes, Xing Yaoyan knew that given its intelligence, it still couldn't understand much.

However... this guy is just too cute!

Little Guy suddenly felt the hand holding it start to move restlessly; at first, it was tentative, but later it started to become presumptuous...

In Xing Yaoyan's spiritual sea, Little Chaos quietly watched the black ball being petted through Xing Yaoyan's eyes, its whole body exuding sourness, looking like an incompetent husband.

"No way, you're even jealous of this?!" Huan Wuxing expressed that while she didn't understand it at all, she was greatly shocked.

And the blue ghost fire within Xiao Dao's bone mask flickered slightly as it made a face-palming gesture.

It had always looked down on this "earliest tenant," and now it looked down on it even more...

Xing Yaoyan paid no attention to the little drama in her spiritual sea, because all her attention at this moment was on the cute black ball in front of her.

This soft feeling was too addictive, even better than how Little Chaos felt at the beginning...

And just as she was immersed in it for a moment, a somewhat astonished voice suddenly rang out: "What are you doing to my 'Little Guy'!"

"Ah! Nothing... nothing at all..." Xing Yaoyan was startled and guiltily stopped the movement of her hands.

She turned around, thinking about how to explain...

"Young Miss Xing Yan!!!"

This time the boy's voice was even louder, almost shouted out.

"Aow..." Xing Yaoyan only then realized that due to a moment of nervousness, she had actually forgotten to hide her appearance again.

"Hi~ good evening, Yun Lan. The weather is really nice today; I was just taking a walk and suddenly saw you here..." Xing Yaoyan walked a few steps towards Yun Lan with a smile on her face, as if greeting an acquaintance.

"Don't move!" Looking at the White-haired girl in front of him, who was wearing the exact same clothes as that Star Cult Priest from before, Yun Lan seemed to understand many things in an instant, "Let me sort this out..."

"Sigh... forget it, if I'm discovered, I'm discovered; anyway, since you've absorbed the Breath of the Abyss that I improved, you would have discovered me sooner or later..." Xing Yaoyan stopped acting.

"Alright, now it's question time. If you have any doubts, as your superior, I will definitely answer everything~"

Xing Yaoyan clapped her hands and looked with great interest at the boy in front of her, who had a face full of disbelief.
