296: Chapter 296 Cute Beast

Outside the cave, the golden stripes unique to the Star Body glowed faintly, and Qian Mo frowned slightly.

"The Star Body looks like this... is it stressed?"

[Ding! Hint: When a large number of Star Beasts appear within range, the Star Body will undergo special changes and will indirectly affect the host's emotions. So it's normal for the host to feel dizzy~]

Ignoring the System's chatter, Qian Mo could indeed feel the Star Body urging him to do something, a feeling that was both exciting and intoxicating...

And he remembered feeling this familiar sensation once before...

Right, it was when Xiao Yan and I were doing... um...

Qian Mo pondered for a moment, but couldn't figure it out right away.

"Mo! I'm back!"

Qian Mo felt a hard slap on his shoulder, and he stumbled.

He turned around, looking helplessly at the White-haired girl who had suddenly appeared behind him, as if blaming her for her recklessness.

"Looking at how excited you are, you must have gained a lot, right?"

"Of course."

Xing Yaoyan casually tossed the aura-shielding device to Qian Mo, telling him to use it as needed. Then, she threw the three unconscious members of the Starlight Exploration Team out of the Black Prison.

"Come, come, come, it's time to test our luck, Mo, I'll leave these two gentlemen to you, and this red-haired beauty is all mine..."

Xing Yaoyan licked her lips excitedly, rubbed her hands together vigorously, and a wicked smile appeared on her face.

"Um... Xiao Yan, are we going to..."

"Of course we're looting... uh, no, we're just checking for any items they 'accidentally dropped and don't want anymore'."

"I know what you mean, but is it really okay to do this right in front of their teammates?" Qian Mo asked.

"What do you mean 'right in front of their teammates'? I thoughtfully knocked them all out..." Xing Yaoyan had already put on white gloves, her attention completely focused on Li Shishi, as if looking at a huge Treasure Trove.

"So... the man behind you, didn't you bring him out?"

"What man? I knocked them all out and brought them out in the Black Prison... Wait..."

Xing Yaoyan's body suddenly straightened.

The next moment, a Tier 6 Qi aura, mixed with the unique energy fluctuations of a Star Beast, came from behind her.

"Xiao Yan!!!"

She watched the young man in front of her rush towards her frantically, golden stripes flashing on his arm like stars...

Just now in the stone cave, besides us few, there was only that possessed team member, right... But why... how could he have followed along? I thought his Superpower was just Undying? How can he teleport too...

Before Xing Yaoyan could think too long, she felt a massive stream of information forcefully crash into her Spiritual Sea, and her consciousness instantly distorted under this immense mental impact.

From Qian Mo's perspective, he saw the man standing behind Xing Yaoyan suddenly open his mouth, and a yellow phantom shot out from it, rushing towards the girl at an extremely fast speed.

Even with his quick reaction, he could only watch helplessly as it drilled into the girl's glabella...

In the golden world.

Xing Yaoyan slowly opened her eyes, rubbing her head with a wince of pain.

"Hiss... Where did this take me? Is this still within the country?"

Her brain was throbbing, and Xing Yaoyan knew it was due to excessive mental pressure.

"Oh right... I think I had just brought those people out and was about to 'loot the corpse', but then Mo said there was someone behind me, and then I ended up here..."

Just thinking about it for a moment, her head began to ache intensely.

"Forget it, let's not worry about what just happened for now. The most urgent task is to figure out how to get back..."

Since it has already happened, the priority is to find a solution; dwelling on gains and losses will only waste time...

Having determined her primary objective, Xing Yaoyan immediately began to act. She first scanned her surroundings, and after finding everything to be a copy-pasted golden expanse, she was at a loss.

She thought about walking around, perhaps she could trigger something.

But soon, she discovered a very important problem—she couldn't move, or rather, she couldn't take a step. It was as if her legs were fixed by something.

She quickly looked down, and after seeing what was obstructing her, she was dumbfounded.

This soft, warm touch... this tiny, adorable Little Guy...

Xing Yaoyan silently bent down and gently swallowed.

Then, she reached out and stroked the thing lightly.

"Ying!"

Yes, it was that kind of cute sound, it really got to me!!!

Xing Yaoyan couldn't hold back anymore. She sat down on the spot and hugged the Little Guy on her calf into her arms.

The other party seemed to know she had no ill intentions, so it didn't resist at all, but rather affectionately rubbed its head against the back of her hand.

And Xing Yaoyan also had the chance to seriously admire its cuteness: it was completely golden, with only white fur on its belly and limbs. Its size and appearance were very similar to a kitten from her previous life, but its ears were much longer than cat ears, and it had a fluffy tail.

It could be said that this Little Guy truly hit all of Xing Yaoyan's cute spots, making her unable to move once she saw it.

"Master, Master... I miss you so much..." A soft, adorable voice came from its mouth.

"You can talk?"

Xing Yaoyan, who had been immersed in the Gentle Embrace, suddenly woke up. She looked down again at the Adorable Beast in her arms, and a somewhat incredible guess immediately surfaced in her mind.

"Wait... are you the Star Soul that possessed that man? And... did you just call me... Master?"

The Adorable Beast's face suddenly turned pale, truly 'deathly pale'; its originally golden fur actually all turned grayish-white.

Like a student caught doing something wrong by a teacher, it secretly glanced at the girl's golden eyes, then quickly withdrew its gaze, nervously scratching lightly at Xing Yaoyan's soft belly with its paw.

"I didn't mean to... I just missed you too much..."

Suddenly, as if it realized something, the entire beast suddenly leaped out of the girl's arms and to the side.
