94: Chapter 94 The Girl's Secret

Xing Yaoyan finally succumbed to Qian Wanyao's "tyranny."

At this moment, she had half her head buried in the water, blowing bubbles underwater like a crocodile.

Mist swirled over the surface of the hot spring, yet it still could not conceal the White Wolf Girl's flushed cheeks.

Fortunately, the mist here was dense, and the pool was deep enough, so she and Qian Wanyao did not have to truly bare everything to each other.

Glancing slightly at the girl who was meditating in the hot spring with her eyes closed, Xing Yaoyan felt both amused and heartbroken.

"Can you not even rest at a time like this..."

The White Wolf Girl shook her head, then turned to look at the wolf tail floating behind her.

This tail didn't usually get in the way, and it even helped her body maintain balance.

But now that it had soaked up enough water, the tail had become even fluffier, looking at least twice as big as its normal state.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to her, and she hurriedly turned around.

She saw that Qian Wanyao had arrived by her side at some point, her eyes scanning back and forth between herself and her own chest, her gaze curious and slightly puzzled.

Perhaps due to her age, the girl's body was still in a budding state; compared to Xing Yaoyan's already mature body, it was completely outclassed.

"Mm~ Don't... don't look..."

Xing Yaoyan subconsciously covered her chest with both hands, the blush on her cheeks deepening further.

Yet Qian Wanyao's attention remained entirely fixed on her chest, and she even slowly reached out a hand as if to test the reality of it.

But suddenly, her hand froze. The next moment, an aura that made Xing Yaoyan's spiritual sea tremble erupted from the girl.

Xing Yaoyan was instantly startled and subconsciously activated the Star Swallowing Art. Only after her golden protective light appeared did the situation improve significantly.

Qian Wanyao smiled apologetically as if she had expected this, then slowly climbed out of the pool and walked outside, step by unsteady step. The girl's frail figure trembled slightly, and her body swayed more and more...

Xing Yaoyan was in no mood to continue bathing. She quickly jumped out of the hot spring, used her Power Of Will to evaporate the water from her body, threw on her white robe—which was originally constructed from Power Of Will—and ran toward the girl.

She finally caught her just before she collapsed to the ground...

Night had already fallen.

Xing Yaoyan sat by the girl's bedside, holding a thick book, reading intently while occasionally turning to check on the unconscious girl.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Qian Wanyao slowly woke up.

In their subsequent conversation, Xing Yaoyan learned:

This inexplicable outburst of aura was a manifestation of the loss of control over the power within her body. It basically erupted every so often, and every time it did, she would enter a state of weakness for a period of time.

Xing Yaoyan did not speak, only silently ruminating on what she had felt from the aura the girl had emitted earlier.

Fear!

Fear from the depths of her spiritual sea!

It was as if she existed for the sole purpose of killing Star Beasts like them.

Now she finally understood a little why Qian Wanyao had been kept hidden in this small world all along.

If this were known by those with ulterior motives, it would absolutely cause an uproar throughout the entire world, and she would also be in extreme danger at all times.

"Crunch..."

The crisp sound pulled Xing Yaoyan back to reality.

She turned to look at the girl lying on the bed and saw her mouth moving rapidly, like a cute little hamster.

But when she saw what was in the girl's hand, she was shocked.

Is this a Spirit Crystal? She is eating Spirit Crystals?!

Seeming to sense the White Wolf Girl's emotional fluctuation, Qian Wanyao turned and looked at her in confusion, then skillfully tossed several glowing white crystals from her hand into her mouth, eating them like roasted beans.

"Let me check your body. Don't worry, I won't hurt you."

Xing Yaoyan could no longer hold back. Without waiting for the girl to react, she hurriedly grabbed her arm and began to move her Power Of Will rapidly through her meridians.

A long while later.

The golden light on Xing Yaoyan's hands gradually faded, but the look of shock on her face had not yet subsided.

The returning Power Of Will told her that this girl was just a human, not some Star Beast in disguise.

"This... this is truly..."

She had originally thought she had basically understood all the information about human Espers in this world, but only now did she suddenly realize that she might still be ignorant.

"Wanyao... you should be able to speak, right?"

While checking her body just now, she had also been surprised to find that the girl's language center and vocal System were in a healthy state, so there was only one reason why she had never spoken...

"Then, are you unable to speak?"

The girl first shook her head, then nodded, and even raised her head to point at her own throat with her finger.

Xing Yaoyan could clearly see a faint golden spirit formation at the girl's throat; it was this that prevented her from speaking.

"Heh... things are getting interesting..."

Cold sweat broke out on Xing Yaoyan's forehead.

She sensed that this girl must be a major secret of the Human Alliance. She had accidentally learned something she shouldn't have, and now she had to get out of here immediately...

Just over ten days after Xing Yaoyan mistakenly entered the "Peach Blossom Spring," inside an office building in the capital.

A righteous-looking middle-aged man was seriously examining the documents in his hands, his brows furrowing and relaxing intermittently.

Suddenly, a rapid knocking on the door sounded.

"Come in."

The next moment, a woman dressed in a secretary's outfit hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in.

"Principal Yun, it's bad! The teleportation point you set up in the south has suddenly come under fierce attack by those lunatics from the 'Star Cult,' and it's about to fall!"

"What?!"

The middle-aged man slammed the table hard.

"Isn't that place guarded by over a dozen mechs comparable to Tier 6? How could it be so fast..."

"According to data transmitted from there, the leader is the Star Cult's Third Seat—Magnetic..."

"Besides that, dozens of Tier 3 spiritual power fluctuations were detected there. It seems they planned this attack very thoroughly."

The secretary quickly stated the known information.

"Oh, also. A one-time teleportation point you left in the west has shown a faint reaction. I'm not sure what the situation is..."

"Never mind that for now. Tell me mainly about the situation with the Star Cult."

Principal Yun said in a deep voice.

"My subordinate speculates that the Star Cult may have already obtained part of the information regarding that plan, and they have blocked all other teleportation anchors leading to the teleportation point. We cannot rely on the teleportation array to provide rapid support. The situation is not optimistic..."

"Those traitors..."

It seemed as if endless fury was hidden in Principal Yun's deep voice, and the entire office was instantly enveloped in an invisible pressure.

"Then, are there any other teleportation arrays to 'Peach Blossom Spring' now?"

"No. According to standard procedure, only the teleportation array in the South District has energy working at this time point, and the only two-way teleportation array is currently in a dormant state, with one last day of cooldown remaining. Unless..."

"Unless we can catch a 'True Star Beast' right now and use the large amount of pure Star Power within its body to forcibly activate the two-way teleportation array..."

Principal Yun pondered for a moment, then quickly made a decision.

"Go notify the other leaders. I will take the two-way teleportation anchor and set off immediately to meet that so-called Third Seat."

The next second, the middle-aged man's figure instantly disappeared from where he stood. Not long after he disappeared, a stream of light suddenly appeared in the sky, silently streaking toward the south.
