Chapter 47: Yo-yo Planet
Translator: Kingbao Editor: DarkGem
Awhoo!
Yet another familiar roar erupted behind Yao Si, and the next moment, a gigantic mouth bolted towards her, spitting a mouthful of sticky substance at her.
Yao Si cursed internally, why was it always her? That was why she hated bugs the most!
She glanced around, but there didn’t seem to be any escape. Gritting her teeth, she prepared to brave through it!
Summoning the energy within her, she took a deep breath. Then she tossed her hands forward, releasing all her energy. Regardless of what ability it was, it just had to withstand this attack.
Suddenly a white glow flooded her sight. It seemed like a white water mirror which was spreading in all directions like a defensive veil that not only blocked the sticky substances but also stopped the black holes in front of Yao Si, preventing them from spreading anymore.
What’s… this?
Before Yao Si could react, the white water veil shook. Zsss! Something flowed out, and the next moment, with a loud pssh , an enormous round ball shot out, smas.h.i.+ng hard against the caterpillar’s body. It couldn’t even shriek once before its brain was crushed. Its ma.s.sive body instantly lost all spirit, and the sky full of black holes disappeared all at once.
The crowd exclaimed in hundreds of voices.
“It was… smashed to death!”
“F*ck, you can defeat a galactic beast like this?”
“What was used? It happened so swiftly I could barely catch a glimpse!”
“It’s Planet 14, the planet that the beast just ate! The Galactic beast was smashed to death by Planet 14!”
“Where did she get it from? What kind of ability is that?”
“She tossed an entire planet, could it be a strength ability?”
“Have you seen a strength ability that can lift an entire planet?”
“…”
Everyone present was confused, and so they turned toward the person at the front.
Yao Si felt perplexed as she stared at her palms for half a second. Her mouth then trembled slightly, and an incredulous thought pa.s.sed her mind. The galactic beast ate a planet and it had been later spat out by a white water mirror, so the ability that had activated her ability was…
Yao Si looked around for a table to toss!
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Why was the ability summoned linked to the beast’s ability! How could it be so random?
The galactic beast’s ability was devouring. Devour… so did that mean that hers was discharge?
She was instantly uncomfortable.
–
The Galactic beast was dead, and it was smashed to death by her. She was famous!
When Yao Si flew back, the entire crowd stared at her weirdly. It seemed like excitement, but with a hint of depression. As she flew, she could hear them murmuring repeatedly, “Hurry, look, it’s that girl that smashed the galactic beast with a planet!
“…”
Could they stop looking at her as though she was the hulk? She just wanted to be the weak girl by the side!
“Dad…” she complained to the man in the front. I think my image is wrecked. “Why did my pa.s.sive ability work on the galactic beast?”
“Mu Xuan!” He stopped working on his optical computer and corrected her seriously. “Your ability is a counter of your opponent’s, it acts on their ability and not the user itself. It doesn’t discriminate.”
“…” Is that even possible? “What was my ability back then?”
“The galactic beast’s ability was devour so yours… should have been creation.”
“Uh?!” Wasn’t it discharge? Why did it toss a planet out…
“The white gleam of barrier that blocked the spit is your ability.” Mu Xuan lifted his head to glance at the white water barrier that was fading gradually. “The appearance of Planet 14 was just a coincidence.” The Galactic beast didn’t swallow it directly but had instead opened a devouring portal in its mouth, setting it there temporarily for digestion in the future. However, his cub’s ability filled the portal, squeezing the planet out.
“But everyone thought I did it.”
She was already prepared for the headlines tomorrow.
#Shocking news! A superhuman female bloodling, treating planets as yo-yos at the border of the Galaxy!#
Didn’t it seem insane?
“Don’t worry.” Mu Xuan reached out to caress her hair, comforting her once more. “If you aren’t willing, no one will remember your face.”
“Ah?” Yao Si asked in confusion. What did he mean?
“I’ll blur their impression of you.”
“You mean… using your mental strength?” Oh right, Mu Xuan could use his mental ability to swap out his appearance, so he could naturally do that for her as well.
“Yea!” He nodded, and it wasn’t just his mental ability, either. A moment ago he had deleted all the footage from the s.p.a.ce station. Others would just be aware that someone had smashed the galactic beast to death, but they wouldn’t know that it had been her.
Yao Si was overwhelmed. The weird stares left her, and even though she could still hear heated discussions, they no longer centered around her. Yao Si finally calmed down, and her energy returned once more now that her image was intact.
“Dad!”
“Mu Xuan!” he corrected once more, feeling the headache of having pampered his own cub.
“Daddy Mu.”
“…” He sighed and his head to glance at the time. Straightening, he said, “Let’s go home for dinner.”
“Alright.” Yao Si followed behind cheerfully. However, they b.u.mped into Huo Qi at the door.
“You’re leaving so fast?” Huo Qi looked at them in surprise. “Aren’t you going to wait for the rewards from the Alliance?”
“We’re not waiting.” The reward wasn’t their aim anyways.
“Why not! The Alliance won’t make it up to you.” Huo Qi frowned, not understanding the rich men’s world. He added, “I heard that the galactic beast had reached stage seven, so the rewards will definitely be substantial. Besides…” He suppressed his voice, then continued mysteriously, “Since I was far away, I didn’t witness it, but there was an incredible person that lifted Planet 14 and smashed it against the galactic beast. That was a stage seven beast! We must have been lucky to have met such an incredible person. Now, without even putting in any effort, we’ll be able to receive an award, and a substantial one at that. That person might also smash the next beast, so maybe you two should wait for a little more?”
Yao Si’s face hardened. Good day bro, goodbye bro!
“We’re in a rush, so we’ll be really leaving now.”
“… Alright,” Hyo Qi said with regret. After a moment, he sent her a message. [After I receive the reward, I’ll send it over. It isn’t easy to get here, so don’t waste your efforts.]
“Thank you,” Yao Si replied nonchalantly, following after Mu Xuan.
There wasn’t a direct portal at the border of the Galaxy, but with Mu Xuan beside her, they returned back at a breakneck speed. He waved in the air, opening a pa.s.sageway that sent them straight to the nearest galactic door, and in less than two minutes, they were back home.
Yao Si had an impulse to keep Mu Xuan with her at all times—it would definitely save her a lot of transport cost!
