Chapter 200
Huh? Who? Me?
Should I go fight the Year Beast?
Really?
Wait, no...
After her initial shock, Xi suddenly realized what was happening.
She's now both empowered by Chen Ran and holds the title of 'Divine Messenger,' and the Year Beast coiled around her wrist seems to be able to help her as well...
Thinking about it, it actually seems like there's potential?
Chapter 314 Sui Family: How much suffering did our youngest sister endure in other Worldline?
And thinking about it carefully, there are actually quite a few solutions.
Since we've already borrowed Time Stop from Centaurea, let's borrow the Holy Sword from Kal'tsit, or a laser pointer from Chen Ran.
With Time Stop activated, one sword strike and you could shatter not only the Year Beast, but even its grave, and give the entire Terra a full middle part.
This is the safest, least dangerous, and most Mechanical God Descent method.
But it feels a bit like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
Moreover, their goal was to capture the Year Beast alive, not to fight it to the Year Beast.
But speaking of the Year Beast—
Xi thinks she could totally become a Pokémon Master.
He shouted, "I choose you!" and then threw the Year Beast coiled around his wrist away.
Let those two Year Beast fight it out. Once they're both badly injured, use a fork to spear Year Beast to the ground and capture them alive.
Ke Xi is soft-hearted.
She glanced at the Year Beast coiled around her wrist, devoid of reason, driven only by instinct, and only knowing how to eat.
Even when she looked at him, the Year Beast treasured a small piece of nut and gave it to her to eat.
Xi didn't know what the Year Beast was like in the normal Worldline, but for her Worldline...
Xi did indeed feel somewhat reluctant.
While Xi was deep in thought,
Chen Ran, who was standing to the side, glanced at her with a subtle expression, then stepped forward and touched her forehead.
"What's wrong with you now, you lecher?" Xi asked, startled.
"No," Chen Ran said. "I just wanted to see if you were stunned by my fucking just now, Little Watermelon Gua."
Evening. "?"
Perhaps Xi hadn't yet become familiar with her new identity, or perhaps, as Chen Ran said, she had truly been driven mad by the act.
Little Watermelon, have you forgotten how you used to wreck the house?
How do you catch the Year Beast?
The first step is to zoom in and zoom out on the planet model.
The second step is to reach out and pull out the Year Beast.
The third step is to scale down the planet model.
That's it.
What else is there to think about?
Little Watermelon, you and those Terra natives are no longer in the same dimension, so why do you still want to personally get involved and fight them hand-to-hand?
Watching too many Hollywood movies?
With a look of doting affection and as if looking at a silly child, Chen Ran reached out and patted Xi's head, then sighed, seeing her completely bewildered expression.
"Fine, I'll help you out Little Watermelon."
Terra, the normal Worldline.
Ever since Xi left last time, Sui's second brother, Wang, has been waiting in front of this restaurant.
It remained motionless, as if it were about to transform into a waiting stone... a stone gazing at the setting sun.
The other members of the Sui family, seeing this, also didn't know how to offer advice.
After all, reviving Jie was the obsession of all of them.
But Jie died trying to save Wang, so Wang's obsession with him was almost insane.
So the rest of the Sui family stayed there to keep Wang company.
However, due to the different flow of time, several days had already passed for them, and there was no sign that Xi would return.
So they naturally started chatting:
"Speaking of which, brother, you should be able to tell who our mother is, right?"
"Mom..."
Their eldest brother, Chongyue, couldn't help but wear a subtle expression every time he heard the term "mother."
However, Chongyue nodded and said, "Yes, although she has a strong aura of Sui, so strong that it's as if she's standing right in front of Sui, she is Xi, our youngest sister. I won't mistake her."
Upon arriving here, Chongyue was indeed momentarily stunned when he first saw Xi Shi.
But at first glance, Chongyue recognized Xi.
After all, what older brother wouldn't recognize his own sister?
You agree, right?
Nian, who initially didn't recognize him at all. "..."
Seeing Nian's guilty look, Ling finally came to her rescue. "So the question now is, Xiao Motou... why did Xi become 'Sui'?"
"Now that my brother has said that our 'mother's' true identity is Xi, then the explanation that my mother gave me before doesn't make sense."
"What did she tell you?"
"She said that after she woke up, the first thing she ate was Xi, and then she transformed into Xi's appearance."
"That really doesn't make sense."
"Could it be that Lord God?"
"For example... that Lord God granted Xi the identity of a 'Divine Messenger' and bestowed upon her Gift of the Deity, thus greatly enhancing her bloodline and making Xi instantly strong enough to rival Sui. That's why we mistook her for Sui when we faced her?"
No matter how they speculated, the Sui family members tried their best to guess that Xi was doing well.
So much so that they actually had another, more likely, guess that they didn't voice:
Nozomi, from their Worldline, has been dedicated to killing the Year Beast and taking its place as the new 'Year'.
Then... isn't there another possibility?
In one particular Worldline, what ultimately takes its place as the new 'year' is not 'hope', but... 'dusk'?
But that's a bit of a hellish joke.
Because among them, Xi was the most timid and fearful, and she was most terrified of Sui. Even a glare from Sui could make her cry.
In the end, under these circumstances, it was Xi who became the new 'Sui'?
So what are those older brothers and sisters doing?
Unless they are all dead, there is no way I would let Xi endure such a thing.
But if they were all really dead...
How desperate, terrified, and frightened she must have been that night!
However, without knowing the details, this explanation is actually the most likely one.
That's why they've kept quiet about it.
That's why they coaxed Xi like a child.
That's why they haven't rushed to call Xi from their Worldline for a family meeting yet.
But Xi in the normal Worldline is neither blind nor deaf.
The Divine Messenger descended, and the aura of the Year Beast revived. Apart from her, all the brothers and sisters of the Sui family rushed to gather together.
Even if Xi from the normal Worldline asked in a way similar to sending a message by carrier pigeon, the only reply she would get would be something like, "Oh, it's nothing, Xi, you can keep playing. Nothing's wrong here."
But this only exacerbated Xi's doubts in the normal Worldline: you couldn't possibly be fighting the Year Beast, could you?
In the normal Worldline, the more Xi thought about it, the more uneasy and worried she became.
Finally, Xi in the normal Worldline couldn't sit still any longer. After being a recluse for hundreds of years, she went out for the first time ever.
And the restaurant happened to be not far from her, so in the normal Worldline, Xi maintained her aloof and fairy-like demeanor in front of others while sneaking around like a thief to get to the vicinity of the restaurant.
Chapter 315 Next time, Xi Bubble battles the Year Beast!
The arrival of dusk in the normal Worldline naturally attracted the attention of the rest of the Sui family.
Nian glanced at Xi in the normal Worldline, then at Ling, and asked softly, "Hey, Sister Ling, which Xi is it this time?"
"It belongs to our family."
This time, Chongyue didn't need to be used; he recognized himself immediately.
Upon hearing this, Nian cheerfully waved to Xi Yi in the normal Worldline: "Hey, little sister, what brings you here? Didn't I tell you we're fine here? What's wrong? Worried about us?"
"Who would worry about you?"
In the normal Worldline, Xi first cautiously turned her head to look around, and after confirming that she had not found any trace of the Year Beast,
She then reverted to her aloof and ethereal demeanor, snorted coldly, and retorted to Nian, "So what are you all doing gathered here? Didn't someone tell us before that things shouldn't happen more than three times?"
Things don't happen more than three times here. Of course, this doesn't mean that after being teased twice, the third time you'll be forced into bed.
Instead, when three fragments come together, they will outline the shape of the Year Beast, suggesting the possibility of its Year Beast.
The Sui family members naturally knew about this, but they had no intention of explaining.
Instead, Nian moved closer to Shu and said, "Hey, Sister Shu, should we talk to her?"
"So what exactly are you doing? Why are you being so mysterious?" Xi from the normal Worldline was getting impatient.
"Hmm... Xiaoxi, do you know that the gods have appeared in the world again?" Shu thought for a moment and decided to ask first.
"I know." Xi from the normal Worldline nodded and said, "That Lord God took one of my Ayao and hasn't returned it to me yet."
"Ayao? Which Lord God captured him?"
This is indeed a new clue.
So Shu asked again, "Xiao Xi, do you know where that Lord God took your Ayao?"
"I don't know..." Xi hesitated for a moment in the normal Worldline: "But that Ayao did convey some... strange things to me."
"What did you say?"
"So Ayao said that I was eaten by Sui?"
Even Xi, from the normal Worldline, said with some uncertainty.
Because the original message conveyed by that little Ayao was actually. "Mom! Mom, ahhh!!! Mom, how could you be eaten! Mom, I'm coming to save you right now, I'll fight you to the death!"
That's about it... uh... that's it.
But these words left the Sui family members exchanging bewildered glances.
'Xi' was really eaten?
Did they guess wrong before?
"But as you all know, Ayao's IQ... can't be taken seriously."
