"Sigh, I was hoping to find some more fun for you in the end, but I didn't expect you to change so much." As life slipped away, Huang Xiaoyu's voice grew weaker and weaker.
Bai Yueyue immediately let go, trying to use her magic to stabilize Huang Xiaoyu's injuries. She wanted to kill Huang Xiaoyu, but even at this moment, she was still thinking about whether she had the right to kill a living person. More importantly, she still had many questions to ask Huang Xiaoyu, such as where Huang Xiaoyu's power came from.
"Ugh, how boring. You still have to save me at a time like this." Huang Xiaoyu pouted. "I'm leaving you a gift for your future, so don't refuse my 'kindness'."
"Yueyue, get out of the way!" Xiaoya immediately warned, sensing the enormous energy gathering towards Huang Xiaoyu. If this energy exploded at such close range, Bai Yueyue would definitely be seriously injured.
"Trying to dodge? Bai Yueyue, you've felt the danger of this power too, haven't you? Do you think if you dodge me, this power will explode outwards?" Huang Xiaoyu still had a mocking expression. Although the barrier had been destroyed by Bai Yueyue, there were still quite a few people near the school.
Bai Yueyue could also feel the power of this force; Huang Xiaoyu was now determined to drag her down with her, and its power was no less than that of a human nuclear bomb.
There was no time to dodge, so Bai Yueyue immediately set up a barrier that surrounded the two of them, even making Bai Yueyue feel weak.
By the time Bai Yueyue was about to teleport away, it was too late. Huang Xiaoyu had already gathered her energy to its maximum, but the expected explosion did not occur. Instead, a disgusting chill emanated from Huang Xiaoyu's direction.
Under Bai Yueyue's shocked gaze, Huang Xiaoyu's body slowly disappeared, while the energy emanating from Huang Xiaoyu gathered around Bai Yueyue.
"Oh dear, it seems I've tricked you again. Don't even think about hiding. Once this power gets entangled with you, you won't be able to shake it off. Of course, I'm still being 'kind,' at least you'll be stronger from now on... Oh, don't worry about me, I'm really dead, you could say I was killed by your own hands." As Bai Yueyue teleported out of the barrier and gathered her power to try and expel this power that didn't belong to her, it vanished without a trace within her body.
Xiao Ya explained that Huang Xiaoyu's purpose was to activate the "source" within Bai Yueyue's body.
The minotaur and the fake explosion were just to deplete Bai Yueyue's magic power, leaving an opening for this power to approach the "source".
"So she went to great lengths, even risking her own life, just to activate the 'Source' within me?" Bai Yueyue asked, puzzled. According to what Xiao Ya had said before, if the "Source" were to awaken, the biggest impact on Bai Yueyue would be that she would never become a boy again.
Holy crap, how could you be so vicious? You really want to separate yourself from Xiaoyue?
Of course, the power of "Source" is far beyond what Bai Yueyue can compare to now. Once "Source" is activated, Bai Yueyue will only become stronger.
Xiaoya became increasingly aware that once "Yuan" awakened, it would inevitably reject her, this foreign being. At that time... she would comfort Yueyue then.
And now...
"Yueyue, let's use magic to check your whole body again." Out of caution, Xiaoya still let Bai Yueyue check her body, but even after the most thorough examination, Bai Yueyue couldn't find any problems. In fact, Bai Yueyue's body was even healthier now.
She had many questions, but Bai Yueyue wasn't one to overthink things; after all, she had Xiao Ya, so she wasn't afraid of anything. She decided to deal with the future later.
Xiaoya smiled but did not respond. Yes, Yueyue is now protected by me. And after "Yuan" awakens, with Yuan by her side, Yueyue will be able to protect herself even without me.
As for the follow-up issues concerning Huang Xiaoyu, Huang Xiaoyu herself thoughtfully helped Bai Yueyue resolve them.
"What, Nianxin, you don't remember Huang Xiaoyu?" Upon arriving at the agreed-upon location, Bai Yueyue briefly mentioned Huang Xiaoyu, and Nianxin asked in confusion, "Who is Huang Xiaoyu?"
"I really don't remember such a person," Nianxin replied after thinking seriously for a moment.
“She was our classmate before, Zhang Yu’s deskmate,” Bai Yueyue said again, while Nianxin continued to shake her head.
Having no other option, Bai Yueyue sent a message to Zhang Yu and Zhang Yuyao to verify Huang Xiaoyu's existence.
But the replies were all: "Who is Huang Xiaoyu? Yueyue, are you hallucinating because you were scared by the monster from before?"
"It seems she erased her own existence before she disappeared," Xiaoya said thoughtfully, looking at Bai Yueyue.
“By the way, Yueyue…come…come to my house, my mom isn’t home…after I cook dinner, we can eat together, and then I’ll tutor you,” Nianxin said, interrupting Bai Yueyue, who was about to continue discussing Huang Xiaoyu’s purpose with Xiaoya, as if she had made a great decision. “After all…after all, Yueyue did very poorly on this exam, and if this continues, her final exam will be even worse.”
"Huh? Oh, okay." Nianxin interrupted Bai Yueyue, and the effect was excellent. Bai Yueyue's attention was immediately diverted by Nianxin. "Then let's go buy some more things."
Thinking about the food reserves at Nianxin's house, Bai Yueyue felt a bit overwhelmed. It wasn't that she looked down on Nianxin's family's financial situation; on the contrary, she really liked the food Nianxin cooked. It's just that she was a carnivore, and she really didn't like eating things like baby bok choy.
“Alright…” Nianxin thought for a moment and said, after all, Bai Yueyue had worked so hard today, so she would just use a little of her living expenses to reward her.
...
"Yueyue! Please don't take any more! This stuff is too expensive!" When Bai Yueyue led Nianxin to a supermarket that looked very high-end, Nianxin had a bad feeling. When Bai Yueyue picked up the beef that cost over a hundred yuan, Nianxin's eyes went completely black.
"It's okay, I'm really hungry right now, so I'll just buy a little more. It's fine, I'll pay later." Bai Yueyue said to Nianxin very seriously. Bai Yueyue knew that Nianxin had always been malnourished, so she took this opportunity to buy Nianxin some more things.
"No way! I'm treating you to dinner, how can I spend your money!" Nianxin had no intention of backing down. She took all the meat that Bai Yueyue had put in the cart, but of course, she left one piece that she could afford if she gritted her teeth.
"I object! Nianxin, you've already cooked for me, so isn't it normal for me to buy groceries?" Bai Yueyue picked up the few pieces of meat that Nianxin never intended to look at again and put them into the shopping cart.
Bai Yueyue's family wasn't very wealthy. She often ate at roadside stalls behind Li Jieyue and Zhang Yu's backs. However, their meals were always provided by a designated person at home. Although Li Jieyue's cooking was... quite unique, she was very particular about the ingredients. In Bai Yueyue's eyes, this meat was already very cheap "street vendor stuff."
"Then why are you bringing up milk! Nobody in my family drinks it! Besides, we use rapeseed oil and lard, so we don't need to buy oil separately!" Nian was furious. If she wasn't careful, Bai Yueyue would come carrying oil in one hand and milk in the other.
Bai Yueyue pursed her lips, and while Nianxin put the milk and oil back in their places and started comparing which vegetables to buy, she quietly moved towards the seafood section...
