Chapter 147 Sisterly and Brotherly Love Stinks

As the sun set in the west, two tall girls in sportswear stood quietly in the backyard of Xia Yan's mansion.

Aunt Zhou was in the first-floor dining room, cooking her specialty dishes, while Jiang Xiao, the only idle person here, sat on the stone steps, gazing listlessly at the two beautiful figures in the distance.

The afterglow of the setting sun painted the clouds on the horizon with a touch of deep red.

It also painted a layer of rosy color on those two graceful figures.

Han Jiangxue stood with her hands clasped behind her, eyes closed, her right hand behind her back pinching a shining star bead.

Xia Yan's stance was more casual. The breeze blew through her chestnut-colored short hair, and beneath her disheveled hair was her lazy, enjoying face.

She had crushed the star bead earlier than Han Jiangxue, and the majestic energy had burst out earlier as well.

Originally, Jiang Xiao didn't have too many thoughts about the two of them breaking through together, but now, when he saw the surging star power around Xia Yan scattering Han Jiangxue's long hair in the distance, Jiang Xiao felt that the two of them shouldn't break through together.

It was obvious that one person would affect the other.

Xia Yan slightly raised her face, her misty star eyes half-open and half-closed, watching the setting sun slowly descending over the distant mountains. Her body was surging with star power, and specks of starlight surrounded her, making for an extremely beautiful scene.

However, in this beautiful scene, the color of that beautiful face gradually changed. The lazy, enjoying look on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by a look of solemnity, as if... a little frustrated?

It was also at this moment that the star bead in Han Jiangxue's hand was crushed.

Of course, star beads were very difficult to crush, even under the flames of Erwei's baptism, they were difficult to damage.

What really made the star bead shatter and turn into specks of starlight was Han Jiangxue's choice to absorb it.

Over there, the specks of starlight surging around Xia Yan had just passed their peak and showed a slight downward trend. On this side, the star power surging around Han Jiangxue spread out, covering the entire backyard.

Xia Yan subconsciously closed her eyes, the star chart on her body faintly visible, and a huge two-handed blade finally emerged.

Within the star chart, the star power was as thick as a galaxy, flowing rapidly, surging in from the tip of the blade, irrigating towards the downward-sloping hilt, until it flowed out from the hilt and merged into the天地 (tiān dì - heaven and earth) of this backyard, circulating endlessly.

Unlike Xia Yan, when Han Jiangxue crushed the star bead, a star chart of "white flames" had already bloomed on her body.

If Xia Yan's two-handed sword star chart was relatively fixed, with the blade body slightly flickering, then Han Jiangxue's white flame star chart was dynamic, as if there were real flames burning.

A few seconds later, Xia Yan opened her eyes, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, and she directly retracted her two-handed sword star chart, saying, "Don't worry about me."

Han Jiangxue still had her eyes closed, and the white flames were jumping even more terrifyingly, the raging fire tearing and burning all the surrounding star power.

She seemed to have become a black hole, burning the surrounding specks of starlight.

Those surging specks of starlight were like nourishment, rushing towards the white flames at an alarming rate, like moths to a flame, eventually becoming fuel for the flames to burn.

Jiang Xiao stared dumbfounded at everything that was happening.

It was just the Nebula stage, and breaking through to the mid-Nebula stage at that, yet it was already such a grand spectacle?

Jiang Xiao recalled Erwei's temporary breakthrough in the snowy plains. He wondered if it varied from person to person. Erwei's breakthrough didn't bring Jiang Xiao too much visual enjoyment, but more of a shock to Jiang Xiao's soul.

*Whoosh!*

Han Jiangxue slowly opened her eyes, a trace of burning white flame seemed to still be dancing in her eyes, quickly submerged. She turned her head and looked at Jiang Xiao, who was sitting on the stone steps in front of the door, as soon as she could.

Jiang Xiao looked at Han Jiangxue with a look of inquiry.

A smile bloomed on Han Jiangxue's icy face, and she nodded gently.

"Wow, Han Jiangxue is awesome!" Jiang Xiao shouted excitedly.

"Shhh." Han Jiangxue raised a finger and made a gesture of silence, glancing at Jiang Xiao reproachfully, and walked to Xia Yan's side.

Xia Yan's smile was a little bitter, her heart full of frustration.

"While the star power is still abundant and gathered here, try again." Han Jiangxue waved her hand and took out another star bead from her shattered space.

"No, how can I take Li Wei's star bead?" Although Xia Yan felt regret in her heart, she resolutely refused.

"I'll give Li Wei his star bead, this one is Little Pi's." Han Jiangxue took Xia Yan's hand and placed the star bead in her palm.

"Eh?" Xia Yan tilted her head and looked at Jiang Xiao on the stone steps.

Jiang Xiao's mind raced. It was indeed his star bead, but that star bead was for Han Jiangxue to break through to the late Nebula stage. Was it just being given away like this?

Han Jiangxue also turned her head and stared at Jiang Xiao with her dark eyes.

Jiang Xiao waved his hand and said, "I'm a weakling, it's useless to keep it. There are no medical star techniques in there either. Stop dawdling, seize the opportunity, the star power will dissipate in a while."

"Hehe." Xia Yan was a little touched. She raised her head and flicked her hair, her eyes seemed slightly red, but her laughter was still hearty, with that unique arrogance, and she directly crushed the star bead.

Behind the window of the house, Aunt Zhou was still wearing an apron, with a worried look on her face, looking at the girl's figure, constantly praying for something.

On the distant mountaintops, the sun had already disappeared, leaving only streaks of deep red clouds.

The sky gradually darkened, and specks of starlight surged around Xia Yan's slender figure again.

Like fireflies in a summer night, dancing wantonly, surrounding her.

Han Jiangxue took a step back, slowly retreating to Jiang Xiao's side. She leaned slightly and reached out to rub Jiang Xiao's head, not knowing whether it was recognition or reward.

Jiang Xiao tilted his head to the side and said, "I keep my buzz cut, not so you can have a better feel."

Unexpectedly, Han Jiangxue did not respond. She just quietly looked down at Jiang Xiao and slowly sat down.

It could be seen that she was really in a good mood.

Jiang Xiao felt her body lean over slightly, her shoulder resting on his arm.

Jiang Xiao propped his elbow on his knee, his palm supporting his face, his eyes staring blankly into the distance, feeling the gentle leaning of the person beside him.

If not forced by life,

Who would be willing to hold on and be strong?

If his strength was a little stronger, she would be more relaxed, right?

"Hey! You two!" In the distance, a burst of majestic star power suddenly surged. Xia Yan's beautiful eyes shone with brilliance, slowly returning to their black color.

She stared intently at Jiang Xiao and Han Jiangxue, a proud smile on her face. Obviously, she had succeeded: "Do you smell it? Isn't the air filled with the sour stench of sisterly and brotherly love?"

Han Jiangxue straightened her body. After all, she was a girl, and her skin was thin. She couldn't stand Xia Yan's teasing.

Jiang Xiao was furious in his heart. I just gave you my star bead, and now that you've broken through, you've forgotten everything?

This white-eyed wolf is not even as good as a husky...

Jiang Xiao silently looked at Xia Yan and blurted out, "Please, be a human."
