In an instant, her pupils turned pure white, as pure as the first snow, without the slightest flaw.
Those empty eyes stared straight at Mo Xiyuan, as if they could pierce through her body and see all her secrets.
Mo Xiyuan felt uneasy under that gaze, a sense of being seen through arising within her.
After a short while, Shangguan Xieyue tilted her head slightly.
Her probing was blocked by an invisible barrier, preventing her from delving any deeper.
But she had a vague feeling that Mo Xiyuan was not from this world, but seemed to come from another world.
Just then, game notifications started popping up in front of Mo Xiyuan's eyes like crazy.
Her gaze shifted from Shangguan Xieyue, her attention instantly drawn to him.
[Player detected being spied on by an unknown entity]
[Protection mode automatically enabled]
[3]
[2]
[1]
[...]
[Drop-!]
[Drop--!]
[Drop--!]
[Player's personal information has been compromised]
[Protection mode is no longer valid]
[The game will temporarily switch to default mode]
[Expected to resume within three days]
[...]
Mo Xiyuan stared blankly at the game prompts that seemed to be acting strangely, her eyes widening.
She leaned forward slightly, her eyes fixed on the constantly flashing notification.
At first, she had some expectations.
As time went by, that expectation was gradually replaced by numbness.
She thought to herself, "They made such a big fuss, and in the end, they couldn't even protect my personal information and just ran away?"
"What kind of nonsense is this?!"
As she thought about it, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Shangguan Xieyue.
Mo Xiyuan sighed inwardly: She could actually see through the game's defenses? Are all the people around the main villain this powerful?!
However, she remembered that Shangguan Xieyue was the Holy Maiden of the Judgment Abyss.
In the game's setting, the Judgment Abyss can see into the past and the future.
Furthermore, there exist secret techniques that only holy maidens and holy sons can cultivate.
Regardless of the other party's cultivation level, one can see through their past and future at a glance.
To my utter surprise, this ability even includes gamers like themselves!
What kind of bug is this?!
He couldn't understand what Sacred Long was saying, yet he could easily break through the game's defenses and see through the past and future.
Does this really prove the old saying that everyone has their own area of expertise?
At this moment, Shangguan Xieyue lowered his hand, and his strange pupils returned to normal in an instant.
She tiptoed closer to Nan Xunran's ear and whispered, "A-Xun, doesn't she belong to this world?"
Nan Xunran raised an eyebrow slightly, looking somewhat surprised.
He replied, "Yes."
At this moment, the System Light Orb suddenly spoke up, "Host, Shangguan Xieyue is about to awaken!"
Nan Xunran paused, a hint of doubt flickering in his eyes, "Awakening?"
The System Light Orb spoke with absolute certainty, explaining, "It means becoming something akin to Heaven’s Mandate Villain."
"Influenced by you, and subconsciously always wanting to follow in your footsteps, she's starting to transform into a minor villain."
Upon hearing Nan Xunran lowered his eyes slightly and asked thoughtfully, "To what extent can it be achieved?"
The System Light Orb said, "Dealing with some minor Heaven’s Mandate Protagonist is no problem, but encountering those with high Heaven’s Mandate Points will inevitably lead to defeat."
"She grows stronger because of you, but she can never surpass you."
Nan Xunran asked again, "How long does it take to fully awaken?"
The System Light Orb's voice grew increasingly loud. "After spending a few more days with you, it will be close to awakening!"
"Now that the Daughter of Heaven’s Mandate is here, along with you, the Heaven’s Mandate Villain, it will further motivate her to awaken."
It paused for a moment, then continued, "She can now discern Mo Xiyuan's identity; that's proof."
Nan Xunran her head, her ink-black hair fluttering in the wind, revealing her well-defined profile.
His gaze swept over Shangguan Xieyue, and he silently replied, "Understood."
After receiving a definite answer, Shangguan Xieyue withdrew her gaze and turned her attention back to Mo Xiyuan.
Her expression was serious, and her eyes gleamed with thoughtful light.
After her recent exploration, although she only had a superficial understanding of Mo Xiyuan, she realized that Mo Xiyuan was extremely useful.
Immortal and capable of instant resurrection, such a person would undoubtedly be a tremendous fighting force if loyal to either side.
But what if she doesn't ultimately stand on A-Xun's side?
Even if she is immortal, I will do everything in my power to eliminate her.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Xieyue closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.
A surge of spiritual energy emanated from her body, and a solemn expression appeared on her exquisite face.
Since the beginning, she had noticed a strange sensation within her body.
No matter how they investigated, they could not determine the specific reason.
At this moment, a thread woven from spiritual energy was quietly flowing through her body, carefully examining every part of her body.
Before long, she realized that she had indeed become a little stronger, but not in terms of cultivation level.
This feeling is hard to describe.
But she had a vague feeling that she would become even stronger in the future.
