After the excess white energy was completely transferred, Li Yu carefully picked up the baby spirit that had turned into a silkworm pupa from her lap.
Then he gently placed it in his mental sea, where it floated slightly, before speaking to the Nightmare Beast:
"You're in charge of taking good care of him, and also, don't let this kind of thing happen again."
The Nightmare Beast hurriedly and solemnly assured, "Don't worry, Li Yu... no, Lord Star!"
"I will never let anything like this happen again."
Seeing the Nightmare Beast's sincere attitude, Li Yu didn't want to continue arguing with the Nightmare Beast about the right or wrong of this energy, so he directly withdrew from his mental sea.
The Nightmare Beast breathed a slight sigh of relief when it saw Li Yu leave.
It slowly returned to Li Yu's mental sea, floating beside the little infant spirit.
Looking at the infant spirit tightly wrapped in a cicada pupa, in its advanced stage, the Nightmare Beast couldn't help but complain:
"For a little thing like you to become a Star Envoy, you've really gone from pheasant to phoenix."
After the Nightmare Beast finished speaking, it could only helplessly retreat to the side and guard the little infant spirit according to Li Yu's orders.
When Li Yu opened his eyes, he found Fu Xiyao standing anxiously beside him. He quickly and softly comforted her:
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
"Really?" Fu Xiyao asked, her eyes filled with worry.
Seeing that Li Yu seemed to have suddenly returned to normal, she picked up Li Yu's thick arm again to examine it carefully until she confirmed that the strange white crystals had completely faded away, and only then did she feel a little relieved.
Just as Fu Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief, a red figure descended from the sky amidst the torrential rain, landing lightly in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
The figure approached swiftly yet silently, as if it had become one with the wind and rain.
Li Yu instantly stood up on alert; he could sense an exceptionally powerful person had entered from outside.
Before the other party even made a move, he felt a terrifying sensation as if his entire body had been scanned from all angles.
At this moment, Fu Xiyao completely lost all control over the surrounding water elements, and she was also completely unaware of the other party's approach.
"Don't move." Li Yu waved to Fu Xiyao with a serious expression, telling her to stay where she was, while he planned to go out and take a look.
Just as they were about to take action, a crisp "crack" sound suddenly came from the roof.
Immediately afterwards, large raindrops, along with plaster from the wall, began to pelt down.
Li Yu and Fu Xiyao looked up in surprise and saw that the house was being rapidly eroded by the rain, as if it had been corroded by strong acid, leaving the two of them completely exposed to the rain.
“Rain has corrosive power.” Li Yu was very surprised when he saw this. The cyclone in his abdomen spun rapidly, using energy to isolate the rainwater and protect him and Fu Xiyao.
Under this powerful corrosive force, the house was quickly corroded away and disappeared completely.
Only then were Li Yu and the other person able to look directly at the figures in the courtyard without any obstruction.
A red-haired woman stood in the courtyard, her posture upright and her gaze sharp, staring intently at Fu Xiyao with scrutiny in her eyes.
"Yes, it's you..." the woman murmured to herself, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
At such close range, she could confirm that Fu Xiyao possessed the same water-based abilities as her.
However, in her opinion, Fu Xiyao's strength seemed somewhat weak.
But it doesn't matter, since this kind of non-family inherited ability is extremely rare.
Such a rare and extraordinary ability suddenly appeared in this girl's body, and she even encountered it. How could she not feel overjoyed?
The reason why his plans have failed and could not continue smoothly is largely because he is the only one who possesses this special water-based ability.
But if it were the combined efforts of two people, they might be able to successfully realize her grand plan!
Just as she was carefully sensing the energy on Fu Xiyao's body, she suddenly discovered something extremely familiar.
The red-haired woman reached out, and the crystal ball that Fu Xiyao had wrapped up flew into her hand.
After confirming she hadn't misread it, the woman's expression changed, and she looked at Fu Xiyao with a serious expression:
Where did this crystal ball come from?
You know, this was a gift she had carefully made herself for her daughter years ago, how could it possibly end up in the hands of a strange girl out of nowhere?
unless...
A fierce glint flashed in the red-haired woman's eyes, and the already torrential rain began to gather wildly above.
Fu Xiyao was startled by the sudden aggressive red-haired woman; the powerful sense of oppression made her involuntarily take a step back.
Li Yu stepped aside to block Fu Xiyao, picked up the Phoenix Bow, and looked at her without any fear.
With her view blocked, the red-haired woman turned her attention to Li Yu, who was standing in front of her.
Upon seeing Li Yu's appearance clearly, she was suddenly stunned and asked in surprise:
"Li Yu, the Tenth Star Lord?"
“It’s me.” Li Yu also noticed the Thunder Bureau insignia on the woman’s body and calmly replied:
"If I remember correctly, I was also a weapons consultant for Thunder Bureau."
"So you're one of Li Yuxingjun's people." The red-haired woman's expression softened slightly, but she still asked Xi Yao seriously again:
"This crystal ball shouldn't be yours."
Fu Xiyao replied warily, "My friend gave it to me, what's wrong with that?"
"Friends?" A strange light flashed in the red-haired woman's eyes.
After calming down, Fu Xiyao suddenly realized that the woman in front of her looked very young and resembled Yun Shui Ning in some ways.
She immediately realized that the person in front of her was probably Yun Shui Ning's mother, so she hurriedly told the truth:
“It was given to me by Yun Shui Ning. She told me to come and find her mother.”
Upon hearing this, the red-haired woman instantly transformed. The seriousness and ferocity on her face vanished, replaced by a gentle smile. She softly introduced herself to Li Yu and the other woman:
“I am Yun Shui Ning’s mother.”
She was Yun Shui Ning's mother, Murong Xue. Upon learning that her daughter had sent Fu Xi Yao, she immediately realized she had misunderstood and explained apologetically:
"I was too impulsive just now, I hope you don't mind."
As she spoke, Murong Xue's powerful aura vanished instantly, and the rain that had been gathering wildly in the sky quickly dispersed.
The water blades behind her, formed from water elements, all turned into ordinary rainwater and flowed away, and everything seemed to return to calm.
"Are you Yun Shui Ning's mother?" Li Yu and Fu Xi Yao exchanged a glance, and their nervousness dissipated considerably.
Neither of them expected that Yun Shui Ning's mother would have such formidable strength, far surpassing that of Yun Ming, the city lord of Shui City.
Li Yu thought to herself, if Murong Xue had been there when Young Master Ao made his arrogant statement about killing Yun Ming, let alone finding someone else to protect him, Young Master Ao would probably have died on the way.
Fu Xiyao quickly greeted her politely, "Hello, Auntie, I am Fu Xiyao, a friend of Yun Shuining."
"Auntie? Oh, hehehe~~"
Murong Xue covered her mouth and let out a series of strange laughs, grinning from ear to ear.
