Unexpected Surprise! Wolf Mother's Sense (Blue)!

Because he had left early, Bai Xuan arrived at school well ahead of time.

At seven in the morning, the classroom was empty. Only a few rays of sunlight slipped through the windows and fell quietly across the desks.

Bai Xuan had just set down his bag when a figure flew in through the window and asked, "Kid, you're at school this early?"

"?"

Bai Xuan looked up at Li Hongyou, who was hovering in midair. Confusion crossed his face. "Why are you here so early?"

"A mission, of course."

Li Hongyou answered casually, then turned to look out the window.

Bai Xuan followed her gaze—a familiar Maybach was driving onto campus.

He immediately understood that Li Hongyou's mission had something to do with Su Yue.

That made him curious.

Li Hongyou had come for her, and the evil organization whose members wore playing-card masks wanted to capture her too.

The only explanation was that Su Yue possessed an extremely powerful Superpower, one both sides wanted for themselves.

From what he knew so far, he could confirm that she had two Superpowers. One was a Psychic Esper Ability, possibly related to affection levels.

The other... money!

"Is there something unusual about Su Yue?" Bai Xuan asked Li Hongyou, testing the waters.

As an Investigator, she surely knew far more than he did.

"Why are you asking so many questions?" Li Hongyou shot him a cold glance.

"You might not know this, but Su Yue and I have a rather unusual relationship." Bai Xuan suddenly lowered his voice, his tone serious.

"Oh?" Li Hongyou folded her arms and turned to stare at him. "What kind of relationship?"

"I'm a member of the Fallen Angel Goddess Club," Bai Xuan answered calmly.

Li Hongyou froze. She stared hard at Bai Xuan, a complicated emotion flickering in her eyes.

After a long silence, she said slowly, "You'd better stay away from her. Don't get involved with her, understood?"

"Why? Is she dangerous?" Bai Xuan swallowed and pressed her for an answer.

"It's not that she's dangerous. It's her ability." Li Hongyou shrugged. "Just take my advice, kid. You don't want to become a pathetic simp, do you?"

"?"

Bai Xuan paused at her description.

So he had guessed right. Su Yue really did have a psychic-related ability.

"Then... which of you is stronger?"

Bai Xuan couldn't help asking.

Li Hongyou rolled her eyes at him, then gave a confident smile.

"Do you even need to ask? Me, of course."

"Oh—"

Bai Xuan nodded thoughtfully and turned his gaze back to the window.

Su Yue stepped out of the Maybach and walked into the school building, surrounded by several female bodyguards.

At the same time, the side effects of the Wolf Mother's Heart had left Bai Yu sprawled weakly on her bed.

Her skin burned all over, and her blood seemed to flow through her veins like fire.

"It hurts so much..."

Bai Yu curled up and panted. Her mind had long since grown hazy, leaving only her body trembling involuntarily as it tried to ease the strange, painful condition.

Just as she was about to lose consciousness, she faintly heard a conversation.

"Hey! Little knight! Something seems wrong with the queen who rules this planet!"

"Her body can't withstand the immense power surging through her blood, so she's fallen into an abnormal state."

"Who are you..."

Before Bai Yu could tell who the voices in her room belonged to, her consciousness faded and she passed out.

Xilin and Marée Alaira had entered the room and were carefully examining Bai Yu.

"Strange. The Wolf Heart shouldn't have such a strong effect. Even an ordinary person should be able to withstand it."

Xilin rested her chin on her hand and pondered. "Could it be because of where she ate it?"

"Or maybe her constitution is different from everyone else's. Don't forget, she's the queen who rules this planet!" Marée Alaira planted her hands on her hips and nodded with absolute certainty. "Yes! That must be it!"

"..."

Xilin fell silent for a moment, then said softly, "Maybe I can help her."

As she spoke, the golden, heart-tipped tail behind her slowly extended.

A gentle golden glow appeared at its tip. Under her control, it slowly traced a golden Magic Circle around Bai Yu.

"What kind of magic is that?"

Marée Alaira leaned in curiously.

"The Church of Light's Light of Hope," Xilin explained. "It's Divine Magic His Holiness the Pope taught me. It was originally used to temper the overly intense divine power in holy water. I think it should work here too."

As she spoke, the Magic Circle took shape.

The next moment, warm golden light enveloped Bai Yu.

In that brief span, Bai Yu's condition visibly improved. Her burning temperature began to subside, and her tightly furrowed brow relaxed.

"She should be fine now."

With that done, Xilin gently erased the traces of her magic.

"The Church of Light's magic really is remarkable..."

Marée Alaira murmured to herself, then looked at Bai Yu on the bed. "Queen who rules this planet, get better soon. Then—we'll destroy the world together!"

As soon as the final bell rang, Bai Xuan hurriedly packed his bag and headed straight home.

The moment he got back, he noticed that Bai Yu hadn't gone out.

Surprised, he strode toward her room.

"Bai Yu?"

He knocked lightly on the door, but there was no answer.

So he gently turned the handle and pushed it open.

The sight before him made him frown—

Bai Yu lay on the bed, her elastic body curled and coiled like a snake.

"Huh?"

Bai Xuan stopped short.

What... kind of strange sleeping position is that?

"Human!"

Marée Alaira suddenly appeared in the doorway and called softly to Bai Xuan. "Her constitution seems a little unusual. That Wolf Heart had an extra effect on her."

"An extra effect?"

Bai Xuan immediately turned toward Bai Yu on the bed and opened her status panel.

[Bai Yu]

"What is this...?"

Bai Xuan stared at Bai Yu's panel, surprise flashing in his eyes.

After taking the Wolf Mother's Heart, Bai Yu's attributes had not only improved across the board—she had actually awakened a blue character trait?

"But... why?"

Was it because there was something unusual about Bai Yu's body?

"Mm..."

Just then, Bai Yu made a faint sound.

Bai Xuan immediately shot Marée Alaira a look.

The little one understood and vanished on the spot.

A moment later, Bai Yu slowly woke up.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, looked at Bai Xuan sitting by the bed, and asked softly,

"Bai Xuan? When did you get back?"
