Nine Star Burden

Chapter 112: Indeed Toxic



Chapter 112: Indeed Toxic

In Apartment 701 of Building G7, Huayuan Estate in Dongcheng District, Jiangbin City.

At this time, Han Jiangxue came out of the bathroom, holding a towel in one hand and wiping her wet, black hair. She was blushing like a peach, looking extremely tempting.

When Jiang Xiao saw Han Jiangxue pushing open the door of his room, his heart began to race.

After staying in the snowfield for a month, even a White Ghoul Witch would seem pretty to Jiang Xiao, what more the pure and aloof Han Jiangxue.

Her pink cheeks made her face look less aloof and more humane.

“Are you done showering?” Han Jiangxue wiped her hair and sat on Jiang Xiao’s single bed.

“Yeah, I was done since a long time ago,” Jiang Xiao answered. Han Jiangxue showered in the bathroom in her parents’ bedroom, while Jiang Xiao showered in the bathroom in the living room.

“Accompany me to the hairdresser later,” said Han Jiangxue, pulling a corpse out of the Sky Smasher.

The heartwarming scene was instantly ruined by the corpse that suddenly appeared on the floor of Jiang Xiao’s room.

“When we were in the snowfield, Second Last threw him into my Sky Smasher but didn’t ask me for him when we left. This man’s status in the mercenary corps is rather high. He has a body made of steel, and I reckon he should have a lot of practical Star Techniques.”

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, “But my Endurance can be upgraded. Now, it’s already of Gold Quality. I have too few star slots, so I can’t afford to waste them.”

“Is it really Gold Quality?” Han Jiangxue asked and sighed softly.

“Yes.” Jiang Xiao didn’t need to hide anything from Han Jiangxue. So, he lit up the Star Map immediately.

The dreamy Big Dipper Star Map appeared on his body and the second star slot emitted a faint golden light.

Han Jiangxue looked at the Gold Quality star slot and began to feel a little distracted.

Her younger brother didn’t lie. Indeed, he had a special power.

Han Jiangxue murmured, “From now on, you have to be careful about lighting up your Star Map.”

Jiang Xiao smiled and said indifferently, “I’m used to hiding it. Rest assured. Remember when we were in the Holy Ground. No matter how dangerous it may be, I know how to protect myself. I won’t light up my Star Map.”

Han Jiangxue sighed and said, “Thanks to the fact that you are not a Rules Awakened.”

Jiang Xiao said, “By the way, Second Last and I have once slaughtered similar mercenaries. According to your current physical strength, it would be difficult for you to break his defense even if you’re facing this corpse.”

“Yeah... that’s an issue.” Han Jiangxue nodded after staying silent for a moment.

The two of them stared at a treasure but realized that they did not have the ability to activate it.

Wow, feels really terrible.

“Before going to Holy Ground, our team also killed several mercenaries and obtained four Star Beads. You can take a look,” Han Jiangxue said and took out four Star Beads, which she then handed to Jiang Xiao.

She collected those Star Beads when she strayed away.

“There are exactly four Star Beads, each of us can have one. Pick one,” said Han Jiangxue.

Jiang Xiao grabbed the Star Bead that was emitting a faint glow, and a huge piece of information flowed into his head.

Just as he had expected, they were all mud-related Star Techniques.

There were a bunch of Star Techniques for attacking and some for controlling, which had to be connected to mud in order to work. For someone like Jiang Xiao who had very few star slots, it was indeed a tough decision.

How are these Star Techniques?

Great, of course.

However, Jiang Xiao was a little bit reluctant to free up his star slot.

First of all, Jiang Xiao did not think that he would not be visiting Russia anytime soon. He would possibly go to university as well, or perhaps, join another team after he graduated from High School. However, he didn’t think that it would be normal to go to Russia for missions either.

Jiang Xiao felt that these Star Techniques were not as good as those of White Ghoul Star Beads in terms of huge output.

After experiencing the Gold Quality Green Glow, Jiang Xiao fully understood the truth. He felt that it would be better to purchase cheaper Star Beads that he could use from business firms, instead of absorbing the ones that were harder to get.

As long as the additional attributes of the Star Bead were good, they could occupy one of Jiang Xiao’s six remaining star slots.

Faced with the Silver Quality Star Technique, Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, “I didn’t detect any Medical Star Techniques.”

“Well.” Han Jiangxue responded calmly, seemingly having expected that to be the case.

“If nothing goes wrong, these Galaxy Stage Star Beads will be very helpful for you to break through the Nebula Stage. It will be a waste for me. I shall give this one to you and see if it can help you breakthrough. If it doesn’t work, just keep one for assurance. It’d be better if you can breakthrough. It can continue to help you break through the plateau in the Nebula Stage.”

“Xiaopi...” Han Jiangxue murmured, feeling touched while staring at Jiang Xiao quietly.

“If we want to secure the first place in the Beijiang Province High School League... we should indeed improve our strength,” Han Jiangxue said gently.

Jiang Xiao picked out two Star Beads that contained 12 or 13 Star Techniques and handed them to Han Jiangxue. “Well, of course. I hope you’ll be as strong as possible.”

Han Jiangxue leaned forward and reached out to rub Jiang Xiao’s head.

Jiang Xiao shunned and thought, There’s still a corpse lying in the room, can you not make the ambiance so heartwarming?

Feels weird.

Jiang Xiao frowned and said, “What do I do about this...”

Han Jiangxue hesitated and said, “Should I leave it to Xia Yan and let her father rip the skull apart?”

“It seems to be the only way...” Jiang Xiao’s eyes lit up all of a sudden and he turned to look at Han Jiangxue with an intense gaze.

Han Jiangxue subconsciously tugged her white nightdress and covered her long and beautiful pair of legs.

Jiang Xiao was speechless.

Han Jiangxue said, “Go on.”

“Sky Smasher,” Jiang Xiao continued.

“Well.” Han Jiangxue waved his hands. The layers of space in front of Jiang Xiao’s door overlapped and seemed to have formed a broken mirror.

Jiang Xiao dragged the corpse with his hands and threw it directly into Sky Smasher, but he didn’t let go.

Jiang Xiao constantly adjusted the angle and distance and flung the corpse into the Sky Smasher while still grabbing its head and moving outwards slowly.

He continued to do so until the entire corpse disappeared, leaving behind only its head on Earth. He then turned his head to look at Han Jiangxue. “Close your Sky Smasher.”

Han Jiangxue’s beautiful eyes lit up and she looked at Jiang Xiao quietly, only to realize that Jiang Xiao was feeling uncomfortable.

“Little Jiangxue?” Jiang Xiao asked again, making the situation seem less awkward all of a sudden.

Han Jiangxue glowered at Jiang Xiao and said, “My father’s surname is Han and my mother’s surname is Jiang. My name is Xue.”

Jiang Xiao pouted and said, “Don’t talk to me about names. Don’t you know where my name came from?”

“Haha.” Han Jiangxue smirked, seemingly having been reminded of the adorable golden retriever. She quickly put Sky Smasher away.

Whee...

The Gold Quality Sky Smasher was used as a Dimensional Space cutter even though it was a space backpack that could kill.

It actually severed the steel body of the mercenary.

Jiang Xiao grabbed the huge head and the neck that was uneven and grooved, only to see that the flesh was all mushed up and bloodied.

“Wow, I think we’d better go to the bathroom. This is too bloody,” Jiang Xiao said with an awkward expression.

However, what made Jiang Xiao feel even more complicated was the fact that he seemed to have really immersed himself in the profession of being an Awakened.

A few months ago, he was an ordinary person living in an ordinary world.

However, not only did he end up killing someone, he was even cutting up a corpse now.

“Why do I feel like a butcher?” Jiang Xiao murmured. However, the corpse in his hand was the enemy who invaded China, thus making Jiang Xiao feel less guilty.

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao and was amazed by his brilliant dissection skills.

She stood up and touched Jiang Xiao’s head before rubbing it forcefully. “They’re right. You are a toxic healer.”
