I'll even show you crossdressing men.

"If... if you really have to unravel this, you have to be prepared for everything... prepared to lose her..."

At that time, he only vaguely understood the sentence and could only write it down.

But after so much time has passed, especially after this incident, he has come to a profound understanding: it is best not to ignore the things his mother told him.

Especially when it comes to matters concerning young girls, we must be as serious as possible and not take them lightly.

Who knows when they might give you a little scare?

So what he was thinking about just now was Tina lifting the restrictions, not Ziqing lifting the restrictions.

She has already broken through the second layer of restrictions; we cannot allow her to break through the third layer.

Although he was very curious about what would happen after the third level, he also understood that curiosity killed the cat, and he wouldn't do that.

"Xiaoyu~" Just as he was thinking about something, Ziqing suddenly called out to Baiyu outside.

Suddenly, the girl, who had transformed into a phoenix, spread her wings and flew back, burning all the demons along the way to ashes.

Seeing her return, Ziqing immediately instructed, "Don't waste time; we can't afford to waste time here." She seemed to know what was going to happen, so she told Baiyu to speed up the process of dealing with these monsters.

"Then...then...Sister Ziqing, can I unleash my most powerful ability?" She was somewhat tempted. Although it wasn't the true final state, at least she could try out that feeling.

"Mm." Ziqing understood what she was saying, so she nodded in agreement.

"Xiaoyu..." Just as Baiyu was about to excitedly fly away, Ji Xiuyu spoke, immediately making the happy girl cautious: "Miss, what's wrong?"

"Remember, always prioritize your own safety." He didn't want to lose anyone around him; that was one of his biggest obsessions after his mother passed away.

"No way!" Ziqing's promise and the young master's concern gave her an unprecedented surge of motivation.

After agreeing to this, she immediately soared into the sky and transformed into a phoenix once more.

However, this time, it was not the small bird with a wingspan of only a few meters that had appeared before. Instead, it was a bird that truly blotted out the sky and fully unleashed the power of a legendary peak.

Centered on the girl, a phoenix with a wingspan of over a thousand meters appeared in the sky, its intense heat causing the air to distort slightly.

Needless to say, the monsters and insects were no match for it. Under its influence, they were like moths drawn to the sun, completely powerless to resist and burned to ashes.

The air was filled with a strong, foul stench that made people feel slightly uncomfortable.

Fortunately, Tina waved her hand at that moment, and a strong wind blew in, blowing away all the surrounding scents and then creating an invisible barrier around them to block the intrusion of those smells.

Outside, some demons were still struggling, but it was all in vain. After all, these demons only relied on numbers to win, and the strongest of them had not even broken through to the seventh rank, so they posed no threat at all.

Only the few figures in the sky that had just broken through the protective barrier were still able to hold on, but they were practically dead, their bodies engulfed in white flames.

Unfortunately, these flames not only could not be extinguished, but also dealt a strong bonus to monsters and insects, instantly burning most of the life force of these hero-level insects, leaving them only struggling.

At this moment, the Sky-Supporting Beast let out a roar that seemed to be proud. Then, Ji Xiuyu and the others felt their feet tremble slightly, and a deep pit cracked open in the ground. The demon that was fighting the Sky-Supporting Beast was torn to pieces and burned in the air before they could even see its full appearance.

"The Sky-Piercing Beast is done for, let's go." This is a good opportunity; the surrounding enemies have all disappeared, and Bai Yu's special state can last for half a minute. Let's take this opportunity to leave quickly.

Alicia flew back as well. After looking at the situation, she nodded to Ziqing, clearly indicating that she should leave with her people.

“Sky-Supporting Beast…” Zi Qing had just lowered her head to speak when a sharp blade descended from the sky, piercing through all defenses and penetrating… Ji Xiuyu’s chest…

Seeing Ji Xiuyu suddenly rush in front of her and block the fatal blow, Zi Qing's body trembled...

The next sentence made her purse her lips tightly together, "Oh dear, I've stabbed the wrong person..."

Young Master...

P.S.: Are you satisfied with the black cat's evening gown? (winks)

Chapter 211: Her Childhood and His

"Look, it's that purple-haired idiot again. He never speaks, all he does is eat and sleep, he ignores everyone, and he's ugly too. He's so pathetic..."

"Shh, I heard her parents and family were all bitten to death by insects, and she's an orphan now..."

"I don't know why the school let her come here. Don't they know that having her with us is torture for us?"

"She's not only stupid, but also mute. No one will know if you bully her."

"She's so disgusting..."

"How about we go and bully her?"

Hearing the voices of her peers or students much older than her, the dark-faced girl lowered her dreamy purple eyes, dimming their light.

No matter what others said, she didn't refute them or care about their words. She just sat there, not saying a word.

Why should a girl who is already all alone care if she is despised by the world?

If you start caring about things you shouldn't care about from a young age, you'll only waste unnecessary time. You'd be better off spending that time interpreting the star map in your mind.

If she is seen as ugly, an orphan, or a recluse by others, what harm does that do to her?

She doesn't live for them; as long as she works hard to unravel the mysteries of the star chart, she will eventually break completely apart from these people.

In her young eyes, whether it was a five- or six-year-old child or an eight- or nine-year-old boy, they would either die in the claws of insects or monsters in the future, or live a mediocre life.

She will be someone who transcends this world, for she is born extraordinary and destined for excellence.

Those children had no idea how powerful the girl they were mocking truly was, nor did they know her background.

All their mockery and sarcasm were like a passing breeze to her; she didn't care about them at all.

This kind of life should have lasted a very long time, long enough for her to grow into a young woman and decipher the star map in her mind.

Unexpectedly, not long after she enrolled, the arrival of a woman draped in a white robe completely changed her life.

"Would you like to come with me?" When she leaned down in front of her, reached out and lifted her chin, looking into her with those blue eyes that had a hint of silver, she didn't resist at all, but nodded in agreement.

"I will give you everything you want, the best treatment." After seeing that she had agreed, she took her little hand and left amidst the envious, jealous, or resentful gazes of everyone.

Halfway there, the woman holding her hand seemed to remember something and turned back to ask her, "Do you want them to regret it for the rest of their lives?"

She knew why she asked that question. Normally, she wouldn't act so childishly, but in front of her, she couldn't help but agree.

Her delicate red lips pursed slightly as she waved her hand and gently patted the purple-haired girl.

Then, a thin layer of gray sand disappeared from the surface of her body.

Her dry, purple hair became incredibly smooth and beautiful, and her dark skin looked as if an eggshell had cracked open to reveal snow-white skin underneath.

The ugly features became stunningly beautiful once the skin was revealed, as if they had been sculpted by the essence of heaven and earth.

Her small, claw-like hands regained their fair and slender shape, as graceful as jade-green scallions.

If these physical changes only transformed her from an ugly duckling into a princess, then the dreamy purple hue that appeared when her dim eyes reopened made her seem like a goddess descended to earth.

The girl, who had remained silent until now and was mistaken for being mute, spoke at this moment. Her voice was light as a dream and clear as a spring: "Thank you all for spending this time with me. I thought I would always be seen this way in your eyes, but I never expected to meet the right person. Since I'm leaving, I'll let you see me so you can remember who I am."

Her face was adorned with a gentle smile, and her words were once cherished memories for many. However, it was only after they grew up that they understood the meaning behind that girl's actions.

The more he remembered her, the more he became obsessed and succumbed to her charms. Eventually, he was completely immersed in the beautiful dream she had woven, living a muddled and aimless life with no ambition whatsoever. He realized this, but he was powerless to change anything. At the age of five, she changed everyone present with her small face. It was truly terrifying.

The girl who had done all this followed her out of the academy and came to her home.

The one who opened the door for them was the boy who had woven a beautiful dream for her that she would never forget.

"Mom... and... welcome back." He spoke to the woman holding his hand with a gentle smile, without neglecting her as he spoke to her.

Even though he didn't know her name or her background, it didn't seem to worry him at all.

"Yan'er, from now on she is Ziqing, one of your maids. And Ziqing, he is Chuyan, my child." After introducing them to each other, the boy who waved to her and called her "Sister Ziqing" entered her heart.

Even though she wasn't a real young girl, she still inexplicably fell for her.

Even though he had more than just her as his "maid," even though he changed a lot afterward, and even though she died later, nothing changed her.

Once you've chosen someone, it's for life.

She was willing to spend her entire life serving this boy, working hard for him, doing everything within her power for him, and eliminating all his troubles.

That's good.

So when she heard that the young master was in danger, she secretly signaled to Himegami Chihaya to let her take people over, because she knew that in this situation, she was more suitable to step in than anyone else.

Everything was going so smoothly, and I was supposed to be able to leave soon, so why...?

"Young Master..." Looking at the person who had collapsed into her arms, bleeding profusely, memories of their first meeting flooded her mind. Biting her lower lip, Zi Qing looked at the enchantress before her with her pale purple eyes and asked in a low voice, "Do you think you've already won?"

"Hehe..." She giggled without saying a word, but her attitude had already made her thoughts clear.

"Why don't you answer?" she asked. This time, she didn't just laugh. Instead, she glanced flirtatiously at her and Ji Xiuyu in her arms and said with a seductive smile, "Of course. He's the strongest among you, isn't he? I can feel it. I originally wanted to capture him to use as a source of nutrition for procreation, but I didn't expect him to take this hit for you."

“But it’s alright. Although the value of a corpse isn’t as high as that of a living person, it’s enough… and…” Looking into her eyes, she felt a pang of fear, but still continued, “And, we can also take you along…”

As she finished speaking, the girl's pale purple eyes emitted a strange light, and then, the whole world changed...

P.S.: The cover has been changed because someone reported that some of the book covers on Shuke were too revealing (this is true, some book covers and descriptions have no bottom line), and we've already been investigated. The boss has already paid the fine, so Shuke is going to do a cleanup of the covers, descriptions, and titles.

Although I don't think my selfie cover was too much, it seems to be even more provocative than some doujinshi illustrations, so I changed it (don't worry, it's not me who's being checked).

Chapter 212: A Light Kiss...

The sky, which had been burning with blazing white flames, suddenly darkened as the rising sun illuminated the land, turning day into night, while the night sky was filled with stars.

Every place shrouded by this starry sky, no matter how powerful the life form, was immobilized at this moment, as if their bodies were frozen in place, or as if... time had stopped flowing.

"This is..." Dolores, who was on the frontier, suddenly seemed to realize something, turned her head to look in that direction, and a look of worry flashed in her eyes.

How could Qing'er have used this ability? What exactly happened to them? And... Xiu Yu... please don't get hurt, I've been waiting for you all this time.

"This is..." If Dolores was able to know what was happening here because of her strength, then Xu Qiuxin and the retreating monster leader were able to sense it because they were closer.

It was a deep, inky darkness, as if it could devour one's soul. This was no realm that mortals could reach; it was a realm that only gods or demigods who had come into contact with gods could achieve.

"What are they doing?" The demon leader already knew that Ji Xiuyu and the others had run away, but he couldn't catch up. Now he needed to go back to provide support, otherwise his lair would be destroyed, a loss he couldn't afford.

Even though he knew that the backup mother nest placed deep underwater was dead, he wasn't just here; he was elsewhere, so he had to go back.

However, what was happening now made him hesitate. Should he leave now or rush over, kill them while they were weak, and capture the girl?

Regardless of what will happen in the future, they would have a hard time resisting this power even now. It is estimated that once the sky falls, they will only be able to wait for death.

If we let them leave, and something like this happens again, we'll likely be facing monsters like them.

"What a terrifying bunch. I hope there won't be any problems." He forced himself not to think about those things. Now he needed to focus on dealing with the group that had raided the demon's lair, otherwise this campaign would be a complete failure.

"Chu Qiu, Chu Qiu, what kind of monsters are your descendants..." Xu Qiuxin was somewhat bewildered and sighed. That was the glory that should have been hers to enjoy... even if she wasn't his first, nor his only woman...
