Kurumi Tokisaki's Planar Journey - Chapter 537
That night, with no spatial barriers to block the view, countless stars dotted the sky. The little girl saw this scene for the first time and was too excited to sleep!
Xiao Zhan had temporarily arranged for the two girls to stay next to Xiao Yan, with only a wall separating them. If they made a loud noise, he would hear it.
The roof had a wooden window propped open by Lin Pu to fulfill Xun’er’s wish to stargaze.
The wooden bed was not like those in the Gu Clan; the two beds occupied the corners of the room.
In the middle was a simple cabinet, and besides that, there were some other small things, mainly toys to amuse children.
Kurumi wasn’t interested in these, but Xun’er played with them enthusiastically.
“Wow! Sister, sister! Look at that star; it’s moving so fast!”
Sitting cross-legged on the bed, meditating, Kurumi opened her eyes, glanced up, and said, “Silly girl, that’s a shooting star.”
At night, the excited voice of the little girl reached Xiao Yan. The boy, who had been studying the Xuan-class high-level technique, suddenly stopped.
“Shooting star?”
For some reason, ever since he woke up from his fall today, his eyesight and hearing seemed to have improved, though he couldn’t be sure if it was just his imagination.
If Kurumi knew about this, she might guess that Xiao Yan had unintentionally ingested a few drops of the Seven Illusion Green Spirit Saliva residue in the jade bottle, enhancing his soul power activity.
Xiao Yan was a transmigrator; his soul, as an adult’s, was naturally superior to an ordinary child’s in terms of soul strength.
The boy, with a plaster on his face, silently moved the black metal piece aside. In all his years in this world, he had never heard the term “shooting star” before!
Thinking of the red-eyed, highly intelligent little girl, Xiao Yan’s face grew serious.
‘Could she be like me?!’
Various guesses flashed through Xiao Yan’s mind.
‘Maybe it’s just a word she made up on the spot.’
‘But why such a coincidence?’
Xiao Yan felt frustrated, putting down the metal piece and cautiously pressing his ear to the wall, trying to hear the two sisters’ conversation.
He wasn’t being a pervert! He just wanted to understand who this Gu… Xiao Mo’er was!
Finding a perfect reason for himself, Xiao Yan felt no guilt, pressing himself against the wall, focusing intently, listening with his ear.
The chirping from the other side sounded like little birds. Xiao Yan frowned, as it was mostly the younger sister talking.
The little girl, innocent and naive, spoke of amusing things and made playful sounds with her toys.
Suddenly, the elder sister spoke! Xiao Yan’s face grew serious, feeling like a spy in a movie, infiltrating the enemy’s base to steal unknown secrets!
“Xun’er, it’s time to sleep.”
“No~ Let me play a little longer~”
The little girl’s whiny voice made Xiao Yan’s expression soften a bit.
“Do you want to have panda eyes tomorrow morning?”
“Huh?! Xun’er doesn’t want that!”
“Then go to sleep!”
Xiao Yan’s mouth dropped open, and he fell back onto the bed!
“Thud!~”
His heart raced, showing no signs of slowing down!
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and his back, feeling chilly, quickly soaked his clothes with sweat!
‘Panda eyes!’
Xiao Yan caught the keyword, realizing the other might be from Earth like him!
While he didn’t fully understand “transmigration,” he had a general idea.
Living in the Xiao family these years, he’d never heard anyone use terms like “panda eyes” or “shooting star.”
In his previous life on Earth, these terms were quite popular. A national treasure, wishing on a shooting star…
As Kurumi’s words echoed in his mind, Xiao Yan gradually calmed down.
The younger sister seemed used to these terms, likely picturing scenes in her mind.
Plus, the younger sister’s innocent demeanor didn’t match that of a transmigrated adult soul.
Of course, this world might have had “pandas” as magical beasts, but he hadn’t heard of them in the small Xiao family.
Continuing to convince himself, Xiao Yan remembered a book describing magical beasts, noting their resemblance to Earth creatures, albeit modified for this world.
As a country boy, how could he know if “pandas” existed here?
Smiling wryly, Xiao Yan shook his head, lay down, and closed his eyes. Various guesses made him anxious. If the other was a transmigrator… what should he do?
‘Tomorrow, I’ll test her again!’
Determined, Xiao Yan touched the black metal piece by his bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep.
In his dreams, he seemed to find the reason for his transmigration…
Meanwhile, Kurumi, who had finally coaxed Xun’er to sleep, had no idea she had revealed herself.
Xun’er was easy to fool, but for Xiao Yan, a fellow transmigrator, everything took on a more serious tone.
Seeing the little girl asleep, Kurumi took out “Burning Decision” and began to study it with her minimal spiritual power.
As her spiritual power depleted, Kurumi lay down, slowly channeling the vast Dou Qi within her to restore half of the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame’s source she had lost.
The Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, weakened by the loss of half its source, remained dormant, burning quietly inside her, wrapped in Gu Yuan’s vast Dou Qi, slowly being replenished.
Kurumi then began refining her bloodline. With Gu Yuan’s immense Dou Qi, not utilizing it would be a waste!
The bloodline power was compressed, bone marrow absorbing residual energy from heavenly materials, producing blood in large quantities.
With continuous Dou Qi support, golden blood threads intertwined, forming a tiny drop of golden blood.
It still had red threads, indicating it could be further purified.
As Kurumi refined her bloodline, the traces of divine-grade bloodline power slowly reemerged.
