A succubus devours its master? She then raises a twelve-winged angel!

Chapter 400 Sally's Promotion!

This question was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake.

All eyes were drawn to Long Qingyan's stunningly beautiful yet aloof face.

Yes, if we had never met, this dragon woman's strength would be unfathomable.
Why would they ask, "Do you know me?" as soon as they appeared?

Long Qingyan remained silent for a moment in response to Gu Xing's words.

A complex emotion flickered in her golden eyes.

She didn't know where to begin, or rather, how to explain.

After all, the human's face had been in her mind ever since she awoke.

To say we know each other... well, that's not really an option!

Ultimately, she chose to avoid answering and changed the subject.

Her gaze shifted slightly, landing on Sally, who was standing beside Gu Xing and watching her warily.

"Is this girl your tamed beast?"

Long Qingyan's voice returned to its previous coldness, revealing little emotion.

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

He didn't sense any malice towards Sally in Long Qingyan's eyes; it seemed more like curiosity.

But the current situation is beyond our control.
"Ok!"

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

Then, as if he had thought of something.

She casually waved her slender hand towards the energy turbulence in the distance caused by the collapse of the core area.

The next moment, a miraculous scene unfolded.

Three orbs of light, each radiating a different color but containing the same powerful fluctuations of the laws of time, flew precisely to Long Qingyan's palm as if summoned, and hovered quietly.

It was those three materials that had previously been suspended in the core area and were later swept away by the energy storm!
“Since her ability is related to time,” Long Qingyan’s gaze swept over Sally, her tone flat and emotionless:

"These three things should be of some use to her."

After saying that, she held up three treasures and handed them to Gu Xing.

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

When the information automatically presented by the system enters the mind
His pupils suddenly contracted!

The Stone of Cause and Effect

Time Amber

The River of History

These were the three materials that Sally needed to improve her aptitude—materials he had previously thought were impossible to obtain!

how so? !

The immense shock caused Gu Xing's body to stiffen for a moment.

This coincidence is simply too astonishing!
One moment he was struggling with the faint clues from these materials, the next moment...
They appeared before his eyes without warning and in such an unexpected way!

It was personally served by this mysterious dragon woman!

Seeing that Gu Xing was only staring at the materials and did not reach out to take them, Long Qingyan frowned slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes:

You...don't need it?

Before she finished speaking, she made a gesture as if to withdraw her hand, seemingly preparing to discard these "useless" items again.

At her level, the improvement that external things can bring is negligible.

Therefore, in her eyes, these materials were not much different from the pebbles on the roadside.

"and many more!"

Upon seeing this, Gu Xing almost instinctively blurted out, "I want it!"

He was terrified that if he delayed even a second, this spendthrift dragon girl would just casually throw all the materials concerning Sally's future back into the turbulent currents.

He quickly stepped forward and almost hastily snatched the three treasures from Long Qingyan's slightly cool palm.

Only when Gu Xing held the materials firmly in his hands did his wildly beating heart calm down a little.

He raised his head and looked at Long Qingyan again, his eyes less wary than before, and more inquisitive. By now, even someone as oblivious as him could sense it.

This dragon woman showed no hostility whatsoever; on the contrary, she was acting in a somewhat clumsy manner...

Show him goodwill?

But why?
The two were complete strangers, with vastly different strengths and social statuses. What was she after?
Could it be... because of the Dragon Emperor?

Gu Xing thought of the person who had helped him from afar.

Perhaps, the Dragon Emperor had some instructions for her?

At present, this seems to be the only reason that can barely be explained.

After Gu Xing accepted the materials, silence fell between the two once again.

Long Qingyan didn't speak again, but just stood there quietly, her gaze still fixed on Gu Xing.

That focused gaze made Gu Xing feel extremely uncomfortable.

So Gu Xing took a deep breath and decided to stop worrying about it.

do not care!
This dragon girl clearly meant him no harm, so he simply improved Sally's aptitude right there.

Seeing Gu Xing's actions, Long Qingyan made no attempt to stop him; she simply watched silently.

She did not feel any obvious rejection from this human during her contact with him.

This also means
At least the two are not enemies!
now.

A hint of guilt appeared in the eyes of the delicate kitten in front of Gu Xing.

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

Gu Xing kept all of this in mind.

"Sally, are you ready?"

Sally trembled upon hearing Gu Xing's words.

Every time Gu Xing said this, it meant...
He's going to help the beasts improve their aptitude.

Sally, however, did not expect that the person being promoted this time would be the one with the higher qualifications.
It turned out to be myself!
Sally had always felt inferior.

She always felt that she was not good enough for Gu Xing, and not worthy of being Gu Xing's tamed beast.

Although this inferiority complex lessened considerably after becoming a member of the Time Spirit race.

But
But it did not disappear.

Upon hearing Gu Xing's question, she was momentarily stunned.

Gu Xing frowned slightly as he waited for Sally's reply.

It's important to know that improving a beast's aptitude requires the beast's cooperation.

If Sally herself is unwilling to improve her qualifications, then even if he gathers all the necessary materials...
No matter how hard you try, it won't make a difference!
Therefore, looking at the stunned Sally, he spoke again:
"Sally, are you unwilling to improve your skills and progress with me?"

Upon hearing Gu Xing's words, Sally instantly snapped out of her daze.

She immediately shook her head.

"No, Lord Gu Xing, I'm willing! Of course I'm willing!"

"Sally's biggest dream is to be able to help Lord Gu Xing!"

Sally spoke anxiously, and in her haste, she even addressed Gu Xing as "Lord Gu Xing" again.

Gu Xing nodded when he saw Sally's eager expression.

As long as it's not a rejection, there's no problem.

Following the system's instructions, he held his breath and focused his mind, beginning to guide the immense power of the time laws contained within the three materials.

Three different but common forces of time, under Gu Xing's control, slowly merged.

Finally, it transformed into a stream of chaotic light, slowly flowing into Sally's brow.

“Buzz——!!!”

At the very moment the material power merged with Sally's essence
In the remaining space of the Time Spirit Ruins, time seemed to have been paused!
All sounds, light, and energy flowed into absolute stillness!

An indescribable, ancient, and supreme aura descended without warning, enveloping Sally's entire body!
