An Unexpected Surprise! Wolf Mother's Senses (Blue)!

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

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

Bai Xuan had just set down his schoolbag when a figure flew in through the window. "Kid, why are you at school so early?"

"?"

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

"Work, of course."

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

Bai Xuan followed her gaze. A familiar Maybach was pulling onto campus.

He immediately understood that Li Hongyou's assignment 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 abduct her too.

The only explanation was that Su Yue possessed a powerful Superpower that both sides wanted for themselves.

From what he knew so far, he could identify two Superpowers she had. One was a Psychic Esper Ability, possibly linked to affection.

The other... money!

"Is something wrong with Su Yue?"

Bai Xuan tested the waters with Li Hongyou.

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 lowered his voice, suddenly 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 replied calmly.

Li Hongyou froze. She stared 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 mixed up with her. Understand?"

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

"It's not that she's dangerous. It's her ability." Li Hongyou shrugged. "Just listen to me, kid. You don't want to turn into some pathetic lovesick fool, do you?"

"?"

Bai Xuan paused at her description.

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

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

Bai Xuan couldn't help asking.

Li Hongyou rolled her eyes at him, then smiled confidently.

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

"Oh."

Bai Xuan nodded thoughtfully and looked out 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 Wolf Mother's Heart had left Bai Yu sprawled weakly on her bed.

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

"It hurts..."

Bai Yu curled up and gasped for air. Her thoughts had long since blurred; all she could do was tremble involuntarily, as if that might ease the strange, painful sensation.

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

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

"Her body can't withstand the powerful energy surging through her blood. That's why she's in this state."

"Who are you..."

Before Bai Yu could make out who was speaking in the room, her mind went blank and she fainted.

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

"Strange. 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. "Could it be because of where she ate it?"

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

"..."

Xilin was silent for a moment before saying softly, "Maybe I can help her."

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

A gentle golden light glowed at its tip. Under her control, it traced a golden magic circle around Bai Yu.

"What kind of magic is that?"

Marée Alaira leaned closer curiously.

"Light of Hope, from the Church of Light," Xilin explained. "His Holiness the Pope taught me this holy magic. It was originally used to temper the overwhelming holy 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 visibly improved. Her burning temperature gradually came down, and her tightly furrowed brow relaxed.

"She should be all right now."

Xilin finished and gently erased all traces of the magic.

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

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

The moment the final bell rang, Bai Xuan hurriedly packed his schoolbag and headed straight home.

As soon as he got back, he noticed that Bai Yu hadn't gone out.

A flicker of surprise ran through him, and he strode to Bai Yu's room.

"Bai Yu?"

He knocked lightly, but there was no answer.

He gently turned the handle and pushed the door open.

The sight 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 sleeping position is that?

"Human!"

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

"An extra effect?"

Bai Xuan immediately looked at Bai Yu on the bed and opened her information panel.

"What is this...?"

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

After taking Wolf Mother's Heart, Bai Yu's attributes had all improved—and she had even awakened a blue trait?

"But... why?"

Was there something unusual about Bai Yu's body?

"Mmm..."

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 beside her bed, and asked softly,

"Bai Xuan? When did you get back?"
