Chapter 286 Starlight Blessing

When Jiang Xiao’s Fond Farewell aura could no longer absorb even a shred of vitality or Star Power, a message echoed in his inner star map: Cross-level kill, Skill Point +5.

Jiang Xiao wiped his eyes. The sleet was gradually subsiding. Injury Tears canceled. He casually waved his hand, and the gate to the Graveyard of the Hallows opened at his side.

The bait Jiang Xiao finally walked out of the stairwell and into the rain, picked up Ash’s corpse, and jumped into the gate of the Graveyard of the Hallows.

Jiang Xiao’s figure flickered, and he appeared in his warm home.

Han Jiangxue only felt a blur before her eyes and saw a trembling Jiu Xing Du Nai, especially his pale lips, which made Han Jiangxue feel a pang of heartache.

Jiang Xiao said apologetically, "Sorry, I was too anxious. That opportunity was fleeting. I should have taken you with me."

Han Jiangxue hurriedly grabbed a towel and wrapped it around Jiang Xiao’s buzz cut, "It's good that you're okay, that person..."

Jiang Xiao curled his lips and said, "He wanted to live a few more days and make it to the New Year. Could I agree to that?"

Han Jiangxue glared at Jiang Xiao, both annoyed and relieved. She didn’t show much on her face, but quickly pushed him towards the bathroom, "Go take a hot shower. I'll make you some ginger soup."

Jiang Xiao said as he walked, "I have Blessing, I'm fine. It cures all diseases."

"Okay," Han Jiangxue responded as she turned and walked towards the kitchen. In the distance, she said, "No matter how urgent it is next time, don't go alone."

Jiang Xiao stopped and turned to look at Han Jiangxue, only to see her staring back at him with a serious expression.

They looked at each other for no more than two seconds. Although her face wasn’t pleasant, she pushed open the kitchen door and went inside.

Blessing warms the body, ginger soup warms the heart?

Well... Little Jiangxue warms the heart.

Jiang Xiao rubbed his chin, muttering, "So, using logical reasoning, we can conclude: Little Jiangxue = Ginger Soup."

Jiang Xiao opened the bathroom door while doing math problems.

The two were worthy of being Star Warriors, worthy of being people who walked on the edge of a blade, warriors who had crawled out of the edge of life and death. One went into the bathroom, the other went into the kitchen, and the empty living room seemed as if nothing had happened.

Only the cell phone on the coffee table in front of the living room sofa was still buzzing.

The screen still displayed Hai Tianqing’s name.

…

In the bathroom, Jiang Xiao turned on the shower, letting the hot water wash over his body. His body was indeed warming up, but to dispel the cold from his body, it was better to…

Jiang Xiao raised his hand, and a Blessing set to Silver quality descended.

"Mmm~"

Jiang Xiao closed his eyes, weakly propped himself against the wall, his knees softened, and he slid to the ground, his head dizzy, experiencing the dizziness of happiness.

Wait...

A few seconds later, Jiang Xiao, regaining his senses, seemed to have thought of something interesting.

Bathing in the shower, Jiang Xiao stretched out a hand and opened his palm.

Why not try the Starlight quality Blessing? See its specific effects?

Then, a pillar of light rose from Jiang Xiao’s palm, straight to the ceiling.

The height of Jiang Xiao’s house was a standard 2.8 meters, but this height included the thickness of the upper and lower floors, meaning the interior height was slightly less than 2.8 meters.

And after the pillar of light in Jiang Xiao’s hand hit the ceiling, it actually spread out directly, and the holy light, like surging clouds, instantly covered the entire ceiling of the small bathroom.

A few seconds later, a rain of holy light sprinkled down within the entire bathroom.

Jiang Xiao: "..."

Jiang Xiao sat on the ground, leaning to one side, and poked his head out from the shower, tilting his head to look up at the surging holy energy on the ceiling.

So easy-going?

You can make it rain even if it’s only two meters high?

You don’t care about the terrain, huh?

"Jiang Xiao! Stop! Jiang Xiao!" Han Jiangxue’s voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Jiang Xiao was startled, not knowing what had happened. He quickly retracted his Starlight Blessing.

Jiang Xiao quickly wiped his body, wrapped a towel around himself, and walked out, seeing Han Jiangxue frowning in the living room. He quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

Han Jiangxue said, "Did you use Blessing in there?"

Jiang Xiao: "Ah, yes."

Han Jiangxue pointed to the bathroom door, or rather, to the gap above the bathroom door, "Those energies are pouring out of the gap in the door, spreading out while dropping light droplets. If it spreads for a while longer, I'm afraid they'll spread out of the window gaps."

"Oh, oh." Jiang Xiao scratched his head, his face slightly embarrassed, and said, "I can't control its range... Hey, a call."

Jiang Xiao trotted to the coffee table, picked up the phone, and returned to his bedroom.

Jiang Xiao originally thought he had escaped an awkward situation, but when he saw the caller ID, his face fell again.

After hesitating for a while, Jiang Xiao still chose to answer, "Teacher Hai, there was a little accident just now, sorry."

…

A dozen minutes later, Han Jiangxue held two white porcelain cups and used her elbow to press down the kitchen door handle, opening the door and walking out.

As soon as she came out, she saw two Jiang Xiaos sitting on the living room sofa.

Han Jiangxue held the cups, walked to the coffee table, lowered her head, and looked back and forth between the two, unable to find any difference, and asked, "Which one?"

One of the Jiang Xiaos reached out his hand and said, "They're both the same, they're both me, and we're currently using Shared Perception. We can even experience the feeling of drinking ginger water."

"Being able to experience the taste is different from drinking it," Han Jiangxue handed over a cup and said, "What did you summon the decoy for?"

"Hoo...hoo..." Jiang Xiao took the cup, blew on it a few times, and took a sip of ginger water, "Slurp..."

The other Jiang Xiao suddenly said, "Why is there a taste of brown sugar and jujube?"

Han Jiangxue held her cup and sat on the side of the sofa, casually saying, "I put them in."

Jiang Xiao: "Slurp...ha..."

Jiang Xiao: "Let's live in the Graveyard of the Hallows at night from now on, leaving a decoy at home. Also, are there no more Ghost Tiger Star Beads in stock? I want to absorb the Perception Star Technique."

Han Jiangxue nodded and said, "There are no more Ghost Tiger Star Beads. Your idea is good. Whether from a security perspective or a training perspective, this choice is excellent."

Sleeping in the Graveyard of the Hallows is completely different from sleeping at home in terms of the degree of physical transformation. After all, the Star Power concentration is there.

Jiang Xiao suddenly said, "Sorry, I didn't let you have a peaceful New Year."

Han Jiangxue shook her head, not caring at all, and said, "Let's go shopping for New Year's goods tomorrow morning."

From this sentence alone, one could completely see the lifestyle of these two young people. Star Warriors are fundamentally different from ordinary men and women in normal society.

Just now, Jiang Xiao experienced a life-and-death battle! And just now, Han Jiangxue was threatened in her own home!

But now, the two were discussing buying New Year's goods for the New Year, and no one mentioned moving.

"By the way, who called just now?" Han Jiangxue asked.

"Hai Tianqing," Jiang Xiao sighed, leaned back, and leaned on the sofa.

Han Jiangxue held her cup, warming her hands, "Asking about Yi Wei? Did you tell him everything?"

"Yeah," Jiang Xiao nodded, "He said he wants to come over."

Han Jiangxue: "Oh? When?"

Jiang Xiao shook his head: "I don't know, he didn't say specifically. I guess it'll be after the New Year?"

"Slurp...ha..."

Han Jiangxue put the cup on the coffee table, stood up, and said, "Let's go, it's late. Let's go back to sleep."

As she spoke, Han Jiangxue walked past Jiang Xiao, who was drinking brown sugar ginger water, and looked at Jiang Xiao, who had been talking to her, and said, "You stay at home and clean up."

Unexpectedly, the Jiang Xiao who had been talking to her stood up and came to the center of the living room, opening the gate to the Graveyard of the Hallows.

So, the Jiang Xiao who was drinking brown sugar ginger water was the decoy.

Han Jiangxue frowned, her eyes narrowed.

Jiang Xiao panicked and quickly walked to the coffee table, picked up the cup Han Jiangxue had put down, and drank the brown sugar ginger water in one gulp.

Crap!

It's so freaking hot!

But I can endure it!

There he goes, Jiang the Dogskin!

Jiang Xiao turned and jumped into the gate of the Graveyard of the Hallows, sticking out his tongue and constantly sucking in cold air, like a hot dog in the summer.

"Hisss...hisss...hisss..." The other Jiang Xiao, leisurely sitting on the sofa, was also burned badly under Shared Perception.

Han Jiangxue entered the gate of the Graveyard of the Hallows and couldn't help but complain, "Don't you know how to drink slowly?"

The voice faded away, and the gate of the Graveyard of the Hallows gradually closed.

On the sofa, the decoy Jiang Xiao grimaced for a while. As the gate of the Graveyard of the Hallows disappeared in the living room, he paused for a while, picked up the phone on the coffee table, thought about it, edited a text message, and sent it.

The decoy Jiang Xiao looked left and right, walked into the kitchen, picked up a broom, and began to clean up.

He had just swept the kitchen floor clean when the cell phone on the coffee table in the living room buzzed again.

Jiang Xiao quickly walked over and answered the phone.

On the other end of the phone, the familiar husky voice came, "Your training is over."

"Yeah, yes. Are you back?" Jiang Xiao asked. Perhaps realizing that his question wasn't specific enough, he added, "Did your team withdraw from Kang Kinde? Did you return to the country?"

Er Wei: "Yeah, we're all back."

"Ah?" Jiang Xiao's face lit up and said, "Then can you ask for leave and come back to spend the Spring Festival with me?"

"Yeah."

Hearing Er Wei's faint response, Jiang Xiao felt much better. More than three months had passed in the blink of an eye, and Jiang Xiao was looking forward to seeing Er Wei.

First of all, regarding Er Wei's mission, Jiang Xiao could inquire about it thoroughly. Secondly, Jiang Xiao was also a little worried about Er Wei's mental state.

Jiang Xiao continued, "Okay, you've been busy for several years, performing tasks every day, with such a high workload. You should rest. You didn't go home last year..."

Far away in Jincheng, Northwest China, Er Wei stood quietly in front of the office window, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, listening to Jiang Xiao's rambling voice in her ear, especially the word "home," which made Er Wei's heart warm slightly.

"By the way!" Jiang Xiao's voice suddenly got louder and said, "I've prepared a New Year's gift for you. You must come back early to check it out."

Er Wei: "New Year's gift."

Jiang Xiao: "Yes, I bet you'll like it."

Jiang Xiao's words surprised Er Wei a little. Her desire for "things" wasn't high. What she liked and craved most was the sense of satisfaction from completing tasks. As for the others...

Er Wei reached back with one hand and subconsciously touched the dark red hair tie behind her head, and said, "Speaking of gifts, I also have something to give you."

Jiang Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, his heart filled with anticipation, "Oh? I'm looking forward to it! Don't let a child's expectations fall through! Otherwise, it will affect his whole life! You will become a sinner for all ages!"

Er Wei responded faintly, "You don't have a gift anymore."

Jiang Xiao: "..."
