"Thump, thump." The heartbeat grew louder and louder, and the entire starry sky seemed to tremble with it.
"Whoosh." The white light grew even brighter, eclipsing the sun, yet it dimmed again in an instant, as though nothing had happened.
The star's original position was now occupied by a young girl.
The girl had waist-length silver-white hair and a curvaceous figure, with a purple collar around her neck. She was currently curled up there.
"Yaaawn..." The girl opened her deep purple eyes. Seeing that she was completely naked, she blushed and hurriedly conjured a set of white clothes. She looked around. "Ah!" A scream as high as 800 decibels rang out. Clutching her chest, the girl gasped, "Whew, whew... That scared me to death. How did I end up in such a neither-human-nor-ghost place?"
"Child, you've come." A woman dressed in luxurious robes walked over. "Mom?" the girl cried out.
"Little Xue, stop making such a fuss. Come with me." "Mm." This girl was Lan Xue. She was now heading toward a spatial rift with Lan Ying.
Just as they were about to reach it, Lan Ying suddenly turned around and tapped Lan Xue on the forehead with a "thunk."
"Ah, Mom, that hurt!" Lan Xue covered her head aggrievedly. Suddenly, a voice rang out in her mind: "Star Wish Nine Trials activated. As eight trials of the Abilities Nine Trials have already been completed, the first eight trials are waived. Star Wish Nine Trials: Recover the Star Wish Goddess's lost Five Elements Pearl. No time limit." Lan Xue froze. "Mom, aren't you the Goddess of Hope?"
"Bonk!" A knuckle struck Lan Xue on the head. "The Goddess of Hope is the Star Wish Goddess, ahhh!" "Yes..." Lan Xue covered her head even more aggrievedly. "All right, down to business."
