Chapter 452: Best Friendship
Mo Xiao couldn’t be bothered to respond to Xuanyuan Shen.
Without another word, he broke the iron rope on Anna’s body and hugged her.
Only then did Mo Xiao turn around and say to Xuanyuan Shen, “Xuanyuan Shen, you know very well whether Anna is a fiendish cultivator or not. You seem anxious to get rid of her. Do you really think no one knows what you’re planning?”
An apprehensive look flashed across Xuanyuan Shen’s eyes. He straightened his neck and said in a rough voice, “Anna awakened her demonic beast form, the Mutated Devouring Beast, and even cruelly devoured the spiritual power of three of Xuanyuan Clan’s guest elders, causing them to die one after another! Grand State Master, I have surveillance camera footage as evidence. How can she get away with this?!”
Mo Xiao sneered. “It was Su Xuanye who caused Anna to lose control. Instead of fighting Su Xuanye to the death, you brought a group of righteous people here to attack a little girl. What is this?”
Mo Xiao turned around and looked at Liao Xingzhi and the others.
Under Mo Xiao’s gaze, this group of people lowered their heads in shame.
Mo Xiao bent down and picked Anna up. He said, “From now on, I will be Anna’s guardian. If Anna dares to devour the lives of innocent people again, I will personally… crush her bones and scatter her ashes!”
Xuanyuan Shen only frowned and lowered his head unwillingly.
Mo Xiao continued, “However, as long as Anna hasn’t become a demon, as long as I’m still alive, if anyone dares to bully Anna under my watch, I won’t let him off easily!” With that, the Grand State Master carried Anna and flew into the forest before taking the Icy Night T-Rex away.
Xuanyuan Shen stared solemnly in the direction where the Grand State Master had left. He gritted his teeth and could only return in disappointment.

After failing to subdue the demon, Xuanyuan Shen returned to the Xuanyuan Clan dejectedly. The moment he entered his room, he saw an illusory man standing in the room.
Seeing that man, Xuanyuan Shen immediately knelt down on one knee without a word and said in fear and trepidation, “My lord, I failed my mission. The Grand State Master Mo Xiao suddenly appeared and saved that fiendish cultivator!”
“Trash!” The man flung his sleeve and Xuanyuan Shen was immediately sent flying against the door frame.
Xuanyuan Shen fell to the ground and got up on all fours. He knelt on the ground and tried his best to get his forehead closer to the ground to show his loyalty.
From the corner of his eye, he saw the man’s feet move. Only then did Xuanyuan Shen carefully raise his head. Just as he saw the man’s featureless face, Xuanyuan Shen lowered his head in fear again and didn’t dare to make a sound.
The man had no facial features, but he could speak in a human voice. He said, “Everyone thinks that the Mutated Devouring Beast is a demonic beast, but they don’t know that it’s actually a divine beast form! The Mutated Devouring Beast can use everything in the world as nourishment, be it spiritual power, magic power, or poisonous gas. As long as everything in the world enters its body, it can automatically transform into an energy body and absorb it.”
“The Mutated Devouring Beast is the same as the Eternal Eye. They are both the lifeline left by the heavens in the human world. What a joke. Everyone in the world actually treats such a holy object as a demonic beast form! Hahaha, what a bunch of ignorant country b.u.mpkins!”
What?
The Mutated Devouring Beast was actually a divine beast form?
No wonder he had repeatedly requested he capture Anna alive. It turned out that he had designs on Anna’s beast form!
“But, my lord.” Xuanyuan Shen had to be careful every time he spoke to this lord. He asked in fear and trepidation, “Even if that girl’s beast form is a divine beast form, that’s still her beast form. Could it be that you can s.n.a.t.c.h her beast form and use it for yourself?”
“Heh! Beast forms only recognize one master in their lives. How can I s.n.a.t.c.h it away?” The faceless man let out a vicious laugh. He said, “Although I can’t directly s.n.a.t.c.h her beast form, I can tame her into my puppet and let her help me complete my revival!”
“But you…” The faceless man lowered his eyes and ‘looked’ at Xuanyuan Shen. He shook his head in disappointment and said in disdain,” You’re useless. Get lost! ”
Xuanyuan Shen immediately rolled on the ground twice before swiftly opening the door and slipping out.
Xuanyuan Shen only heaved a sigh of relief when he stood under the sun and breathed in the fresh air. He felt ecstatic, as if he had survived a calamity.
Xuanyuan Shen stood on the lawn and glanced back at his room. When he thought of the faceless man in the room, he shook his shoulders in fear.
He had met this faceless man when he was partic.i.p.ating in the Saint Tomb when he was young. At that time, the man called himself the heavens. Xuanyuan Shen really thought that he was the chosen one who had become the darling of the heavens. He foolishly formed a contract with the heavens and fantasized that he could become the strongest person in the Holy Spirit Continent.
Later, as they interacted more and more, Xuanyuan Shen realized that this person wasn’t the heavens, but Satan!

When Anna woke up, she was lying in a guest room in Yu Huang and Sheng Xiao’s villa.
She opened her eyes and saw the clean room. She was in a daze for a while before she remembered the details of the battle.
Her mother was dead, and she and the T-Rex were taken away by the Grand State Master.
T-Rex!
Anna was concerned about the T-Rex’s situation. She quickly lifted the blanket on her body and sat up to look for the Icy Night T-Rex.
Anna slid off the bed barefooted and saw a pair of rabbit-shaped open-toed slippers by the bed. Her movements instantly slowed down. Not many people knew what she liked. Other than her mentor, there was only Yu Huang.
Could she be in Yu Huang’s house?
Anna looked down at the pajamas she was wearing and realized that she was wearing a cotton-collared pajamas with a big white rabbit printed on it. The pajamas were in the size 160. It was obvious that they had been specially bought for her.
Anna suddenly pursed her lips and smiled. As she smiled, her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.
At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door, and the door handle was turned. Anna turned around and looked at the door, and saw Yu Huang standing under the door frame.
Yu Huang was wearing a sports bra. Her long legs were wrapped in a pair of military green work pants. Her abs were hidden under the waist of her pants, and her good figure was discernible. She was wearing a pair of military green fingerless gloves on her hands. Her long hair was tied into a ponytail, and there was a green headband on her forehead. She looked valiant, cool, and beautiful.
Yu Huang had just finished practicing shooting in the bas.e.m.e.nt. She was going upstairs to take a shower and change her clothes. When she pa.s.sed by the guest room on the second floor, she came to see Anna.
Seeing that Anna was awake, Yu Huang smiled.
“Anna, you’re awake.”
Yu Huang was about to walk towards Anna when she saw Anna jump onto the bed quickly. Then, she jumped towards her from the bed.
Yu Huang was shocked. “Be careful. You’re still injured!”
Anna spread her legs and hung onto Yu Huang’s waist like a child. She hugged Yu Huang’s neck tightly and called her name while sobbing. “Yu Huang!”
After shouting, Anna cried.
The strange experience during this period of time had really frightened Anna. When she finally saw her good friend, Anna finally relaxed. She couldn’t control her emotions and hugged Yu Huang while crying.
Yu Huang hugged Anna’s b.u.t.t with one hand and patted the back of Anna’s head with the other. “Stop crying. You’re already safe. In the future, no one will dare to bully you!”
“Yes!”
Anna’s snot and tears were rubbed against Yu Huang’s neck, but neither of them cared about these small details.
After the calamity, they reunited. This made them cherish this friendship even more.
Sheng Xiao walked up from downstairs with a delivery box in his hand. He coughed when he saw Yu Huang and Anna hugging each other affectionately.
“Cough.”
Anna blushed when she heard Sheng Xiao’s cough. She quickly jumped off Yu Huang.
Anna wiped her tears and snot and bowed to Sheng Xiao. “h.e.l.lo, Professor Sheng!” In Anna’s heart, Sheng Xiao would always be the discipline professor of Divine Realm Academy. She had to greet him.
Sheng Xiao looked at Anna with some affection.
Back then, he and Yu Huang had brought this child back from the Broken Cliff. At that time, he had even joked that they were like a family of three. Now that the three of them were standing together, the feeling that they were a family of three became even stronger.
Sheng Xiao walked over with the delivery box in one hand and rubbed Anna’s hair with the other.
Anna, who was 158 centimeters tall, stood in front of Sheng Xiao, who was almost two meters tall. She only reached Sheng Xiao’s chest. He could touch her head with his arm.
Anna was flattered when Sheng Xiao touched her head.
Sheng Xiao sighed in relief. “It’s good that you’re back. You can stay here from now on. You must have been tired. Rest well.”
Anna knew how bad her reputation was now. Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang daring to take her in at this time was the greatest kindness.
Anna wanted to cry again, but she knew that Sheng Xiao hated girls crying the most. She tried her best to hold back her tears. “Thank you!”
Yu Huang patted Anna’s face. “Don’t mention it. We’re good friends!”
“Yes.”
“By the way, the cla.s.s monitor, Vivian, and the others will start school the day after tomorrow. They heard that you’re injured and not feeling well, so they decided to come to Jingdu to visit you a day early.” Yu Huang looked at the time on her watch and said to Anna, “They’ll be here in about two hours. We’ll eat hotpot together at noon. Of course, you can only eat porridge.”
“… Okay.”
Anna was extremely anxious when she didn’t hear about the situation of the Icy Night T-Rex.
Anna could no longer hold it in. She grabbed Yu Huang’s hand and asked anxiously, “Yu Huang, my T-Rex…” After a pause, Anna said,” Where’s the little T-Rex? Is the little T-Rex still alive? ”
Hearing this, Yu Huang revealed an ambiguous smile. “I thought you could hold it in for a while longer. You finally remembered your T-Rex.”
Yu Huang pointed at the pool downstairs and said, “The T-Rex is seriously injured and needs to stay in the water to recuperate. Didn’t you notice that the temperature in this villa is a little low? Isn’t Professor Sheng wearing a windbreaker? That’s because my pool has been frozen by your T-Rex.”
Only then did Anna notice that Sheng Xiao was wearing a windbreaker over his shirt.
