Chapter 554: Chapter 552: Goddess Under the Moon

Even though Ti Qin had lost consciousness, its wings still maintained a defensive posture, indicating that Wen Wen’s attacks hadn’t exceeded the wings’ endurance limit—it was Ti Qin’s own strength that was too weak.

With his spear, he gently flicked at the wings, and the clumped Wings of Steel fell off by themselves, with some already putrefied flesh at the base.

The Wings of Steel were attached to the host’s back skin, and the powerful vibrations from Wen Wen’s numerous attacks shattered the skin on Ti Qin’s back, making it unable to support the attachment of the metal wings anymore.

Wen Wen casually captured Ti Qin into the Sanctuary; without those wings, it only had Disaster Level strength.

He then summoned a Water Blob to clean the blood and flesh off the Wings of Steel and placed his own Wings of Steel next to these wings.

After the two sets of wings fell quiet for a moment, they began to make various small movements.

Sometimes a wingtip would gently rub against the base of the other, and at other times they would affectionately caress each other, which made Wen Wen feel like setting them on fire to burn these two things up.

Humans flaunting their love in front of me is one thing, but you two pairs of wings are playing the same game?

After a short period of mutual testing, the bases of the two pairs of wings fused together, with the larger wings on top and the smaller ones underneath, and the metal from the larger wings began to flow towards the smaller ones, transforming them to resemble the appearance of the larger wings.

"I guessed right, these two pairs of wings really can fuse together."

Judging by the speed of the fusion, it would probably take about a day for them to become a new set of Wings of Steel with four wings!

Having captured these wings into the Sanctuary, Wen Wen prepared to head towards the location of the Faceless Demon, wanting to see for himself what this so-called Sword Qi Crystal really looked like.

However, before Wen Wen could step forward, a giant head was thrown in front of him.

It was a ferocious tiger’s head, the very same one that had threatened Wen Wen earlier, suspected of possessing Disaster True Sequence strength—a patchy fierce tiger!

Wen Wen’s pupils dilated slightly as he swiftly turned to look in the direction of the tiger’s head, only to see a woman standing elegantly under the moonlight, clad in a moon-white robe.

"So beautiful..."

Wen Wen stared at the figure, slightly dazed.

In the next instant, he shook his head vigorously and when he looked at the woman again, his eyes were filled with vigilance...and murderous intent!

Because Wen Wen realized that his daze wasn’t because the woman was truly beautiful enough to take his breath away.

Indeed, she was extremely beautiful, indescribably so, as if she belonged to another world.

But in terms of beauty alone, Hu Youling had already reached the pinnacle; this woman was merely on par with her, with perhaps some extra points for her unique aura.

If Wen Wen could watch Hu Youling broadcasting daily blessings without batting an eye, how could he lose control upon just a first glance at her?

What made him dazed was an inexplicable feeling.

Had someone else been in his place, they might have mistaken it for love at first sight, but Wen Wen was no ordinary person.

He had a premonition that regardless of whether this woman was friend or foe, she was going to bring him a great deal of trouble, so it was better to deal with her before the trouble began.

Yet Wen Wen’s killing intent had barely arisen before it faded away quietly.

That tiger was suspected to have Disaster True Sequence strength; if a conflict broke out, it wasn’t certain who would kill whom...

Taking a closer look at the hairpin on her head and those familiar-looking eyes, Wen Wen suddenly widened his eyes.

He knew who this woman was—she was the Catastrophe Level being that Iyeta had tried to summon in the Qi Ling Mountain Range!

’Didn’t I already interrupt the ritual? She shouldn’t have been able to come here!’

’But if she’s not of Catastrophe Level, how did she manage to kill this monster that’s suspected to be of Disaster True Sequence?’

’Why did she come here, and what should I do next.’

Wen Wen’s mind was a tangled mess, with various confusing thoughts that could have woven together an entire stage drama, but he actually just pondered for two seconds.

After finishing his thoughts, Wen Wen looked at the woman and said, "Who are you really? What are you doing here."

The Moon Goddess landed on the ground and took steps toward Wen Wen, a puzzled look on her face as she asked, "That’s exactly what I wanted to ask you... Who are you?"

"I want to know everything about you, your clothes, your scent, your abilities, even your face, I am all too familiar with, but I just can’t remember you."

She tried to touch Wen Wen’s cheek, but he stepped back two paces, avoiding her advance.

When the Moon Goddess walked toward Wen Wen, he felt his heart rate accelerate and an inexplicable nervousness overwhelmed him, even giving him goosebumps.

To shake off this weird feeling, Wen Wen bluntly said, "Don’t come any closer, if you’re lacking men, I can introduce you to one."

After saying that, Wen Wen slapped himself, berating his own loose tongue. What if he had angered her?

Upon being scolded by Wen Wen, the Moon Goddess didn’t get angry but seemed a bit dejected. She knew Wen Wen’s reaction was normal; what was abnormal was her.

Ever since that summoning ritual, when she had glanced at Wen Wen through the portal, she had been abnormal.

After sighing, the Moon Goddess composed her emotions, realizing that they were, after all, just strangers.

"This Wild Beast is called the Royal Changyi Tiger, any creature it kills becomes its Changyi Beast, and it had already set its sights on you. Even if I scared it away, it would still come for you, so I killed it."

"That sounds like you’re doing it for my sake, but what’s your real purpose?" Wen Wen said ungratefully to the Moon Goddess.

The Moon Goddess shook her head and didn’t explain her purpose, continuing instead, "Your job seems to be to protect the Commoners of this world, so regarding the Royal Changyi Tiger creature, there’s something else you need to be aware of."

"Royal Changyi Tigers usually come in pairs, one male and one female. When one dies, the other’s location will trigger a ’Tiger Plague,’ which, if allowed to grow, can become very difficult to contain."

"This is the problem left for you after my help, it’s for you to face now. If you choose to ignore it, it’s up to you..."

Wen Wen fell silent; despite his impatience, he couldn’t help but feel a bitter sentiment inside.

It seemed that she really was thinking about things for Wen Wen, a feeling he hadn’t experienced in a long time.

"The last thing I need to do... is this."

The Moon Goddess pulled out the hairpin from her head, and her black hair spilled down, shining in the moonlight – and for a moment, Wen Wen became lost in the sight again.

With her fingers, she gently rubbed the hairpin, turning the gold and silver crescent into one golden crescent and one silver crescent.

After hesitating for two seconds, she picked up the silver crescent and flicked it towards Wen Wen. The silver crescent transformed into a beam of light and penetrated Wen Wen’s body.

"This crescent embodies a part of my strength, and maybe one day, it can save your life."

After speaking, her figure dissolved into gold and silver petals in the moonlight and quietly vanished in front of Wen Wen.

Wen Wen opened his right hand, revealing a silver crescent mark on his palm.

While facing the Moon Goddess, Wen Wen had kept the Catastrophe Gloves manifested in case of a sudden conflict, but the Catastrophe Gloves did not repel the crescent.

"Who is she, really..."

"Hiss, I forgot to ask her name..."
