Wen Xiaowan raised her head in astonishment, and when her eyes met the humanoid monster in front of her, a sense of vigilance surged in her heart.

She clutched the items beside her tightly, stood up with difficulty, and backed away while speaking: "Who are you? Why are you calling me president? Do you know me?"

Ai Yu folded his hands in front of his abdomen, a faint smile on his face, and said softly: "You don't need to know who I am, but you must understand that I am here to help you. Something has entered your body, right?"

Wen Xiaowan frowned slightly and questioned, "You don't even dare to reveal your true identity, how can I trust you?"

"Oh..." Ai Yu slowly circled Wen Xiaowan. "I can see you're very tired. It must have been a tough journey running all the way here. So, why did you follow the instructions of that Law Beast? What kind of benefit did it give you?"

Wen Xiaowan was skeptical about what Ai Yu said and asked again, "Who are you?"

Ai Yu sighed softly, "Even if I told you who I am, you wouldn't believe me. I can only tell you that I came to you to solve the problems you face and to help you." A black feather appeared in her hand, shining with a cold iron light. "Make your choice."

Wen Xiaowan's eyes fell on the feather in Ai Yu's hand, and her brows furrowed deeper and deeper: "Are you... a star beast?"

"No." Ai Yu shook his head and looked up at Wen Xiaowan. "Have you thought about it?"

"Are you sure you can help me?" Wen Xiaowan stretched out her hand and opened it, revealing the black spot on her palm. "What I'm facing may be more than you think."

Ai Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "Hey, come and see if Xila is on her."

The moment Wen Xiaowan saw the filth, she ran away: "You still say you are not a star beast, you liar."

Ai Yu raised his hand and trembled a little helplessly. He sighed deeply and untied the bandages on Hui's body: "Bring him back."

Hui looked at Lan Ling, who had hidden himself to the side. After getting permission, he stretched out his vines and grabbed Wen Xiaowan, who hadn't gotten far yet. "Don't be so scared, little girl. She really didn't lie to you. Just because I'm a star beast doesn't mean she is."

Wen Xiaowan was tied up and unable to move. She looked around at the two of them without saying a word.

Ai Yu raised his hand and scratched his forehead. "Damn, look, is Xila coming on her? That mark wasn't from Lufu, it was more like a side effect of Sariel."

"Okay." The vine that was wrapped around Wen Xiaowan grew another strand and wrapped around Wen Xiaowan's neck. Before Wen Xiaowan could react, a sharp thorn was inserted into her.

Wen Xiaowan's eyes widened slightly, and she gritted her teeth to endure the pain: "What are you going to do?"

"Don't be afraid." Ai Yu soothed her softly, easing the pain Wen Xiaowan felt.

After a moment, Hui put a leaf on the wound and replied to Ai Yu: "No, we are a step too late again. Xila ran away again."

Lan Ling and Ai Yu were not surprised by this result: "Alright."

After locking the humiliation back in place, Ai Yu reached out and held Wen Xiaowan to prevent her from escaping again: "Don't be afraid, relax. Besides Xila, there's also a guy named Lu Fu inside you. Fortunately, he hasn't invaded your body, and I can still separate him from you. Close your eyes, just pretend you're listening to music, and relax."

Hearing Ai Yu's gentle voice, Wen Xiaowan closed her eyes half-believing and half-doubting.

Just as Ai Yu had said, a melody rang out in her ears, like rain hitting banana leaves or wind shattering jade. It was so clear and melodious that it even made Wen Xiaowan forget the real world for a moment.

When Wen Xiaowan opened her eyes again and met Ai Yu's gaze, she felt an indescribable sense of relaxation in her body and mind. She blinked and sighed sincerely, "You're amazing."

Ai Yu just smiled at Wen Xiaowan's praise and slowly let go of her hand: "Now, apart from Xila, there won't be any strange things bothering you. As for Xila, you just wait a little longer, someone will take care of it."

"You..." Wen Xiaowan hadn't finished her words yet, and the guy who was standing in front of her just now could no longer be seen from behind.

Why did this beast… give her an inexplicable familiarity? Not the familiarity between acquaintances, but her every move felt as if she had seen it many times before.

Wen Xiaowan couldn't figure out why she felt this way, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She lowered her eyes to glance at her palm. The black spot had disappeared, and there were no strange noises in her head. Should it be... okay?

There were only a few cotton-like clouds floating in the sky, and the surface temperature was a little high.

Ai Yu's wings were raised to block out the sun, and Lan Ling was only a few steps away. The two chatted casually, but Ai Yu always asked about the north and Lan Ling answered the south.

When they were about to enter the Qian family compound, Lan Ling stopped and said, "Ai Yu."

Ai Yu stopped and looked back at him: "What's wrong?"

"What about you? Do you regret coming into this world?"

The man smiled the same bright smile he gave when he first met Ai Yu, which seemed a bit dazzling in the sunlight.

Ai Yu tapped his face and thought for a moment: "Why should I regret something like this? It's not something I can decide. I can only say that since I've come to this world, I can only live my life to the fullest without any regrets. To be honest, I really want to see every corner of Blue Star with my own eyes."

After hearing Ai Yu's answer, Lan Ling's smile deepened. "Well, that's a good answer. Who would have thought such words would come from the mouth of a law beast?"

Ai Yu helplessly spread her hands and shrugged, "Maybe I'm just different from other law beasts. I'm too different..." She looked in the direction of Qian's house, "I have a lot of emotions that a law beast shouldn't have. I don't want to destroy Blue Star at all."

There was something more in Lan Ling's eyes: "...It would be great if everyone was like you, but there are less than one in ten thousand people like you."

Ai Yu glanced at Lan Ling and continued walking. "Let's not talk about this anymore. Let's keep going. I need to confirm that Liu'er is truly alright before I can return your captains to you."

"good."

Zhao Liu'er, lying on the precious silk and mahogany bed, seemed to have sensed something and suddenly woke up, startling Qian Cheng who was sitting next to her. "What's wrong?"

Zhao Liuer looked around with a dejected expression, wailing, "Ah, my 180-foot-tall, all-natural, super handsome guy!! My handsome guy..." She wiped away her non-existent tears, "Why, why is he Lanling?"

Qian Cheng listened carefully and said speechlessly: "You..."

Let him say what he wants.

"I'll introduce a few to you later?"

"I won't feel sleepy anymore if you say that."
