My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel - Chapter 400

Chapter 400: Chapter 401: Sally’s Advancement!
 

This question, like a stone thrown into a calm lake.

Everyone’s gaze, without prior agreement, focused on Long Qingyan’s stunning and cold face.

Indeed, if they had never met, why would this Dragon Race woman, with unfathomable strength…

Ask such a question as “Do you know me?” upon her arrival?

Facing this question from Gu Xing, Long Qingyan paused for a moment.

A trace of complexity flashed in her golden eyes.

She didn’t know where to begin…or how to explain.

After all, from the moment she awoke, this human’s face appeared in her mind.

Saying they know each other…doesn’t seem quite right!

In the end, she chose to avoid answering and changed the subject.

Her gaze slightly shifted, landing on Sally, who was next to Gu Xing, watching her warily.

“This girl, is she your Guardian Beast?”

Long Qingyan’s voice returned to its previous coldness, with little emotion discernible.

Gu Xing followed her gaze to Sally, quickly weighing things in his mind.

From Long Qingyan’s eyes, he didn’t feel any malice towards Sally, more like a kind of curiosity.

And given the current situation…

“Yes!”

Upon receiving Gu Xing’s confirmation, Long Qingyan nodded slightly.

Then, as if recalling something.

She lightly waved her slender hand towards the direction of the energy turbulence formed by the collapse of the core area.

In the next instant, a miraculous scene occurred.

Three orbs emitting different hues, yet all containing vast fluctuations of Time Law, as if summoned, flew precisely into Long Qingyan’s palm, quietly suspended.

These were the three materials that previously floated in the core area, and later were swept away by an energy storm!

“Since her ability is related to time,” Long Qingyan’s gaze swept over Sally, her tone flat and unperturbed:

“Then these three things should be of some use to her.”

With that, she held the three treasures and extended them in front of Gu Xing.

Gu Xing’s gaze fell on the three items in Long Qingyan’s fair palm.

When the information automatically appeared in his mind…

His pupils suddenly shrank!

[Stone of Cause and Effect]

[Time Amber]

[Water of the River of History]

These were exactly the materials needed for Sally’s Talent enhancement, which he previously thought were completely unattainable!

How can…this be?!

The immense shock momentarily froze Gu Xing’s body.

This coincidence was just too startling!

A moment ago, he was still troubled by the meager clues of these materials, and the next moment…

They appeared before his eyes in this unanticipated manner!

Delivered personally by this mysterious Dragon Race woman!

Long Qingyan saw that Gu Xing was staring at the materials but had not yet reached out to take them, her slender eyebrows slightly furrowed, a hint of confusion in her eyes:

“You… don’t need them?”

Before the words were finished, she was about to withdraw her hand, seemingly ready to discard these “useless” items once again.

At her level, the improvement that external objects could provide was minimal.

Therefore, these materials were no different from stones on the roadside in her eyes.

“Wait!”

Seeing this, Gu Xing almost instinctively blurted out, “I need them!”

He feared that the next second, this wasteful Dragon Lady would really throw these crucial materials related to Sally’s future back into the turbulence.

He quickly stepped forward, almost eagerly grabbing the three treasures from Long Qingyan’s cool palm.

Feeling the solidity of the materials in his hands, Gu Xing’s wildly beating heart slightly calmed.

He looked up again at Long Qingyan, with less initial wariness and more curiosity in his eyes.

By now, even if he was slow, he felt it.

This Dragon Race woman not only bore no hostility, but was even trying, in a somewhat clumsy way…

To show goodwill?

But why is that?

The two of them were strangers, with a world of difference in strength and status, what did she want?

Could it be…because of the Dragon Emperor?

Gu Xing thought of the presence that had once helped him from afar.

Perhaps, the Dragon Emperor had given her some instructions?

At present, this seemed the only reason that made any sense.

And following Gu Xing’s acceptance of the materials, the atmosphere between them again fell silent.

Long Qingyan did not speak again, merely stood quietly there, her gaze still on Gu Xing.

That focused gaze made Gu Xing feel very uncomfortable.

So Gu Xing took a deep breath, deciding to stop overthinking it.

Whatever!

This Dragon Lady obviously bore no malice towards him, so he might as well use this opportunity to enhance Sally’s Talent.

And Long Qingyan seeing Gu Xing’s actions, did not show any intention of stopping, she just watched silently.

From her interaction with this human, she did not feel an obvious rejection from her body.

This also meant that…

At least the two of them were not enemies!

At this moment.

The small cat girl before Gu Xing, a hint of guilt appeared in her eyes.

This little cat girl had always followed him, and had once sacrificed everything for him.

All of this, Gu Xing remembered in his heart.

“Sally, are you ready?”

Hearing Gu Xing’s words, Sally trembled.

Every time Gu Xing uttered these words, it meant that…

He intended to help the Guardian Beast enhance its Talent.

However, Sally never imagined that the target of this Talent enhancement…

Would be herself!

All along, Sally felt very inferior in her heart.

She always felt she was unworthy of Gu Xing, unworthy of being his Guardian Beast.

Although after becoming part of the Time Spirit Race, this feeling of inferiority eased considerably.

Yet…

It never disappeared.

At this moment, hearing Gu Xing’s question, she unexpectedly froze.

And Gu Xing, not receiving Sally’s response, slightly frowned.

It is known that enhancing a Guardian Beast’s Talent requires the Guardian Beast’s cooperation.

If Sally herself was unwilling to enhance her Talent, then even if he gathered all the materials…

All the effort would be in vain!

Therefore, he looked at the frozen Sally and spoke again:

“Sally, are you unwilling to enhance your Talent, unwilling to progress with me?”

Upon hearing Gu Xing’s words, Sally immediately snapped back to reality.

She immediately shook her head.

“No, Master Gu Xing, I want to! Of course, I want to!”

“Sally’s greatest dream is to be able to help Master Gu Xing!”

Sally anxiously spoke, so quickly that she once again addressed Gu Xing as Master.

And Gu Xing, seeing Sally’s eagerness, finally nodded.

As long as it wasn’t a refusal, then there was no problem.

Following the system’s method, he held his breath and focused, beginning to guide the vast Power of Time Laws contained within the three materials.

The three distinct yet homogenous forces of Time, under Gu Xing’s control, slowly merged.

Ultimately forming a chaotic stream of light, slowly entering Sally’s brow.

“Buzz——!!!”

At the moment of the materials’ power integrating with Sally’s origin…

The entire space remnants of the Time Spirit relic seemed to press the pause button!

All sound, light, and energy flow fell into absolute stillness!

An indescribable, ancient, and supreme aura descended without warning, enveloping Sally’s entire being!
