Without the slightest hesitation, Su Yuan handed the Heart of Rhythm from the storage necklace to Xue Su.
This wasn't a lie to Xue Su. Without the control system on the spaceship, the Rhythm Heart, which served as the energy core, was nothing more than a pretty stone.
"......"
Xue Su put down Zhizhi from her arms, picked up the Heart of Rhythm, and fell silent. This was the divine gift that their ancestors had been searching for for generations.
It felt extremely cold to the touch, and was just a smooth stone. She could sense a tremendous power within it, but even when she injected her magical energy, there was no reaction.
Hehehehe...
There was sadness, disappointment, and a sense of relief in her laughter. The passing spring breeze wiped away the tears from Xue Su's eyes and dispelled the gloom in her heart.
"When I was a child, I wondered what that so-called divine gift was that made the witches keep searching for it."
"At the time, I wondered if it was a magic potion that could grant immortality, a bag that could produce endless food, or a weapon that could easily defeat the enemy."
"I never imagined it was just for a pretty stone."
The Heart of Rhythm was given to Su Yuan, and only then did Xue Su completely dispel the last bit of persistence in her heart. She rubbed Zhizhi's head, and it was only after a period of time here that she felt what it meant to be alive and what it meant to live.
"Hey, you can't say that. Aren't the things you fantasized about when you were a kid just me?"
"You little brat, believe me or not, I'll drag you back!" Xue Su jokingly patted Su Yuan's head and scolded him with a laugh.
"If you put it that way, taking you back would be like finding a gift from God."
"Hahaha, Xue Suwu isn't a bad person. Besides, are you really going to abandon those children? Their studies will be disrupted without you."
"Then shut up. We're at the library. What did you say earlier about keeping this building?
The group arrived at the library. At the foot of the five-story building, the beast girl who guarded the library was dozing off behind a table, her drool almost forming a lake on the table.
"Of course it's for storing books. Squeak, go and call everyone in the academy over here."
"Xiao Zhi, wake up, it's time to eat!"
"Let's eat! What are we having today?"
Xiao Zhi, who was lying on the table, immediately woke up. She pouted when she saw Su Yuan's smiling expression. She then noticed that her lips were wet and quickly wiped them with her sleeve, blushing.
"Honestly, Chief Su Yuan, you're teasing me again. How annoying."
"Xiao Zhi, if you sleep during work, I'll dock your pay."
"I was wrong! Chief is the best, I don't dislike you at all!"
Xiao Zhi joined her own small tribal shaman a long time ago when she was in the seaside tribe. She was not old, but her strength was on par with Xue Liu, and she was even stronger than Xue Liu. However, she was still considered a mascot.
In terms of abilities, it involves controlling vines to move, and the distance the vines can be controlled depends on the amount of magical power released.
What? You mean power?
The amount of magical power released determines the strength of the vines; otherwise, Su Yuan wouldn't have arranged for her, a sorceress, to be a mascot in the library. The amount of magical power released only determines the distance of the vines.
Her strength is related to her inherent power, while Xiaozhi's strength...
Looking at those thin arms and legs, and how difficult it was for them to even jump off the chair, Su Yuan decided to stop thinking about this unimportant issue.
