Chapter 123 Home

In the hotel room, a spatial gate suddenly opened.

Jiang Xiao and Xia Yan, cloaked in jet-black cloaks, floated down.

Han Jiangxue, sitting on the sofa, brightened up and looked at the two figures floating down from the spatial gate in the living room.

Xia Yan, now at the Star River stage, had no more Star Slots to use, but at this moment, she was wearing a Soul of the Sea Devourer. Therefore, there was a high probability that Xia Yan had been promoted to the Star Sea stage.

It couldn't be ruled out that this wild Soul of the Sea Devourer had been subdued by force, but seeing the joy on Xia Yan's face, Han Jiangxue knew that her friend had finally caught up with the team's pace.

Xia Yan stored the Soul of the Sea Devourer in her Star Map, a wide smile on her face as she made a V-sign at Han Jiangxue: "Yay~"

"Hehe." Han Jiangxue was also in a good mood, saying, "Go take a shower and change your clothes."

"Oh, okay. Let me tell you, I absorbed the Ruins of the Calamity Shadow and the Gap of Space-Time!" Xia Yan said happily as she walked towards the bathroom.

Jiang Xiao, standing to the side, raised an eyebrow slightly.

Sure enough, the husky wolf was only temporary. Looking at Xia Yan's attitude and tone towards Han Jiangxue, she was like a child asking her mother for praise, her face almost screaming: Praise me! Praise me now!

"Mmm, good." Han Jiangxue was also very cooperative, and it was clear that she was in a really good mood. "Go ahead, we'll talk more when you come out."

Listening to the sound of the bathroom door closing, Han Jiangxue sat on the sofa, turned her eyes to a silent Jiang Xiao, and said, "What Star Techniques did you configure for her?"

Jiang Xiao said, "It's the dual Star Techniques of the Void Calamity Shadow. She also has her own storage space now. After we return to the country, I'll decorate her space, build a home or something."

Han Jiangxue: "Mmm."

Jiang Xiao: "She didn't successfully absorb the Sea Soul Mask, but she succeeded with the Soul of the Sea Devourer. She used 3 Star Slots, and now she has 5 Star Slots available. I told her to leave 3 or 4 Star Slots for Hidden Dragon. We'll study it in detail tonight. I'm going to go take a shower too."

Han Jiangxue opened her mouth and said, "You go and report to Team Leader Chen Da Pang first. He should be very worried and has been waiting for our news."

"No problem." Jiang Xiao withdrew the Soul of the Sea Devourer from his body, and with a flash, disappeared without a trace.

More than ten minutes later, Xia Yan came out wearing a large white T-shirt and hot pants, shuffling in slippers.

Han Jiangxue, with one hand on the remote control, lowered the volume, turned her head to look, and immediately saw the ruby droplet bracelet on her ankle.

The corners of Han Jiangxue's mouth rose slightly as she said, "Do you know what it's made of?"

Xia Yan nodded and plopped down on the sofa, her long legs propped up on the coffee table in front of her, shaking her fair feet from side to side, and said, "Of course, the ruby eyes of the Void Calamity Shadow."

Han Jiangxue nodded: "It's good that you know. Don't wear it outside. If someone with ulterior motives sees it, it will cause trouble."

"That's why I wear the bracelet on my ankle..." Xia Yan pouted, changed the subject, and a smile appeared on her face as she said, "I can go to the Dragon's Den with you~"

"Ah..." Han Jiangxue sighed softly, looked at the excited Xia Yan, couldn't help but reach out and rub her head.

This silly child still doesn't know how dangerous it is there.

Xia Yan took Han Jiangxue's hand off her head, hugged Han Jiangxue's arm in her arms, pouted, and whispered, "It's so tiring to catch up with your pace."

"Mmm, I know. I've seen your hard training all along." Han Jiangxue's heart softened, and her voice became gentle. "When you equip the Hidden Dragon Star Bead, you can stand at the pinnacle of this world."

"Mmm..." Xia Yan shifted her butt, found a comfortable position, leaned against Han Jiangxue's body, and whispered, "You have Purification, Little Pi...Jiang Xiao also has Purification. Do you think I still need Purification-type Star Techniques?"

Han Jiangxue thought for a moment and said, "It's good to have one. Things are unpredictable, especially in battle. We can't guarantee that we'll always be together."

Xia Yan said, "Why not?"

Han Jiangxue thought for a moment and said, "Because the enemies we will face in the future are not as simple-minded as Star Beasts. You can be without control, but it's best to have Purification, which can increase your chances of survival."

Xia Yan suddenly raised her long leg and shook the droplet bracelet on her ankle, saying, "He said I don't need to consider Purification."

"Mmm..." Han Jiangxue pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe he thinks he can always protect you. With his current personal ability, he is qualified to say that.

I'll talk to him tonight. You can also ask Uncle Xia for advice. He has more experience than us, has participated in more battles, and has experienced more battlefields of different difficulties. You should listen to his opinion."

"Hmph, I'm not going to talk to him." Xia Yan pouted, but seemed to think of something and said, "Right, I have to call him and stimulate him! Now I'm at the same level as him!"

Han Jiangxue nodded and said, "Don't be so aggressive when you call."

"It's so annoying, why do you talk like my mom? Every time I want to talk to him, she has to tell me for half a day." Xia Yan stood up, looked around for her phone, but couldn't find it after a long time, and subconsciously asked, "Mom, where's my phone?"

As soon as she said the words, Xia Yan realized that something was wrong, her face turned red, and she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into in embarrassment.

Han Jiangxue: "..."

A few seconds later, Han Jiangxue silently picked up the remote control, pressed the buttons repeatedly, and frantically increased the volume of the TV...

...

*Chua*

With the flick of a metal lighter, sparks flew, Gu Shi'an stood at the window, half his body leaning out, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, taking a comfortable puff.

"Hoo~" Gu Shi'an exhaled a puff of smoke, fiddling with his phone, tapping on the keyboard, and Jiang Xiao's voice came from behind.

"Life is very comfortable." Jiang Xiao, with a towel in his hand, wiped his wet buzz cut, and said with a smile.

Gu Shi'an tapped on the keyboard as he said, "Next time you flicker back, come to the living room and say hello to me. I was changing clothes just now, and suddenly found someone taking a shower in the bathroom, which scared me."

"You're a man, what are you afraid of? Don't you know the current male-to-female ratio in our China?" Jiang Xiao plopped down on the sofa and said, "As a man, you have to remember five big words!"

Gu Shi'an: "What?"

Jiang Xiao held up one finger, with a serious expression: "All guests are welcome!" (来者皆是客 - Lai zhe jie shi ke)

"Cough, cough, cough..." Gu Shi'an was badly choked by the smoke, coughed for a long time, and said, "At least I am a Capital Star Warrior student, a member of the national team, do you really think I can't find a girlfriend?"

Jiang Xiao looked at the phone in his hand with great curiosity, recalling how he had been tapping on the screen just now, and said, "Are you in contact with Miss Will? That flight attendant?"

"Hoo..." Gu Shi'an pinched out the cigarette with his fingers, flicked the cigarette butt into the wastebasket next to the coffee table, and said, "No, I don't have that kind of leisure."

Jiang Xiao smiled slyly: "Still pretending, I've never seen you send a text message to anyone."

"Mmm." Gu Shi'an turned around, leaning against the windowsill, grinned, the smile was a little bitter, "My family saw my game, my little uncle sent me a message."

"Oh." Jiang Xiao hesitated to speak, "Your family..."

Gu Shi'an grinned and smiled, "My dad didn't want me to become a Star Warrior, and didn't want me to study at a martial arts school, including going to a Star Warrior high school, or going to a Star Warrior university. I didn't listen to him. When I was in junior high school, I took the Star Bead my little uncle gave me and ran away secretly.

My dad kept pestering me, trying to drag me home again and again. With the help of my relatives, I ran all over the country and changed schools several times. Don't even mention it."

Jiang Xiao nodded. Back then, when Capital Star Warrior started school, Gu Shi'an and Bai Ye from Guixi Province fought. The two drew out their Bauhinia Blades at the same time. Bai Ye was a little dazed. That year, as long as they could be admitted to Capital Star Warrior, Bai Ye was very familiar with all the students from Guixi Province, but he had never heard of Gu Shi'an's name.

Then Gu Shi'an said that sentence: I left home early.

But I didn't expect that there was such a story.

Gu Shi'an waved his hand and said, "When I was 16 years old, I awakened my Star Map, which can be regarded as God's blessing, and I got what I wanted.

Later, I was admitted to Capital Star Warrior. No matter how unwilling my dad was, he was persuaded by his family. Later, I heard that I had joined the Pioneer Army at Capital Star Warrior. My dad was completely angry and deleted all my contact information. He hasn't spoken to me for a long time."

"Uh..." Jiang Xiao sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and probed, "Is it because Uncle Gu is worried about your safety? The Star Warrior profession is indeed very dangerous."

"Mmm, my dad also has a Star Map, but he didn't become a Star Warrior. He is a merchant and has been living as an ordinary person." As Gu Shi'an spoke, he seemed to have another craving for cigarettes. He took out a fake snake from his pocket, gently flicked the cigarette case, put one in his mouth, and turned to face the window.

Jiang Xiao nodded thoughtfully and said, "Share with me?"

"Hoo..." Gu Shi'an held a cigarette in his mouth, turned his head to look, squinted his left eye under the thin wisp of smoke, and said, "My grandfather was also a Star Warrior. It is said that when my dad was 12 years old and my little uncle was 10 years old, he died in front of their house, right in front of the two brothers. That incident had a great impact on them.

My little uncle desperately became stronger. Since awakening his Star Map, he has been working hard to become the best. He is now a senior officer in our hometown's Guardian Army. As for my dad..."

Gu Shi'an shrugged and said, "My dad is very resistant to the Star Warrior profession and tried like crazy to stop me from becoming a Star Warrior."

Jiang Xiao bit his lip, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

"Hehe." Gu Shi'an grinned, that forever rascal and unrestrained smile was actually a bit forced, and also slightly bitter.

He said in a low voice, "I was able to sneak out of my house and transfer schools everywhere with the help of my little uncle. Seeing that I was promising, he sent me a message to congratulate me."

As he said that, Gu Shi'an rested his elbow on the windowsill, his upper body leaned out the window, the rising smoke seemed to be a bit irritating, and he wiped his eyes with one hand.

On the phone screen on the windowsill, those few messages, the dense text, occupied the entire screen.

Jiang Xiao pursed his lips and said softly, "When the time comes, with the Star Warrior championship trophy, with the highest honor, I will accompany you home, returning to your hometown."

"Heh." Gu Shi'an hehed, looking at the foreign land with its different architectural styles outside the window, "I left home early, and I've forgotten what my hometown looks like."

Jiang Xiao said, "Shi'an, Uncle Gu gave you such a meaningful name, it would be a pity if you didn't return home in glory."

"My mom gave me the name, she's been gone for many years. Later, I heard that she left in the year I awakened my Star Map."

As he said that, Gu Shi'an seemed a little irritable, extinguished the cigarette haphazardly, shook his head and said, "I'm not going back, I can't go back."
