Chapter 496: Chapter 490 Xi (3 more)

The woman was in fact very beautiful.

Her features were no less stunning than Lan Su’s.

But for some reason, as Su Chen stared at her, he didn’t entertain a single other thought, and his soul felt an inexplicable purity.

"You are..." Su Chen asked somewhat awkwardly, curiously, and dazedly.

"Xi," the woman said.

"Xi? A single-character name?" Su Chen found this increasingly strange.

At the same time.

In the Male Residence Pavilion on the first level, what appeared to be the very old Elder Qian suddenly had a bright shine in his eyes, and then, his body flickered.

One breath later.

He appeared in a dark attic.

In this attic, there was a sixteen-sided formation.

In the middle of the formation stood a middle-aged man, stationary, squinting his eyes, while the sixteen formation eyes were simultaneously channeling white-silver light into his body.

"Elder Qian, you’ve arrived!" Then, the middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Elder Qian with some reverence.

"That kid is indeed very special; I can’t see through him!" Elder Qian said with a grave voice.

"Does that mean he’s not an Ancestral Body?" The middle-aged man furrowed his brows. "Ding Shengshan and the other two came just now, assuring me that the kid is an Ancestral Body!"

"Dean, although that kid isn’t an Ancestral Body, the feeling he gives me is even more terrifying and strange than an Ancestral Body," Elder Qian continued.

"What?" The middle-aged man’s face changed drastically, and his body trembled. "Are you serious, Elder Qian?"

"Serious!" Elder Qian nodded earnestly. "He gives me the same feeling as Xi does."

Speaking of Xi, the middle-aged man’s face violently shivered.

"That’s why I placed him in the same room as Xi!" Elder Qian added.

"Ah?" The middle-aged man’s eyes widened. "Elder Qian, isn’t this...might this be too..."

"Perhaps it’s risky," Elder Qian said solemnly. "But there may also be gains."

The middle-aged man fell silent.

Xi.

She fell from the sky.

She descended from the heavens ten thousand years ago.

No one knows where Xi came from.

They only know this delicate-looking woman is terrifying; how terrifying? If she wishes, she can devour everything.

In the entire Qian Long Institute, aside from Elder Qian, no one could withstand a single devouring from Xi.

That’s why she was placed in room number 999 of the Male Residence Pavilion—because Elder Qian oversees the Male Residence Pavilion.

For ten thousand years, the students of the Qian Long Institute have come and gone in waves, but the occupant of room 999 has never changed.

And for ten thousand years, Xi never had a roommate.

Su Chen was the first, and the only one.

"If Su Chen can help Xi and restore her to normal, then from now on, the Holy Spirit Academy will have two monstrous beings that could protect our academy’s prosperity for ten thousand years!" Elder Qian said with conviction.

"But if Elder Qian is wrong, Su Chen could very well die at Xi’s hands."

"He shares the same breath as Xi; it won’t happen!" Elder Qian affirmed.

"Let’s hope so!" the middle-aged man sighed, still somewhat worried.

"Alright, Dean, I’m returning now!" Then, Elder Qian disappeared.

"Elder Qian, I bid you farewell!" The middle-aged man said solemnly.

At the same time.

Male Residence Pavilion, room 999.

"Xi, you’re saying you’ve stayed in this room 999 of the Male Residence Pavilion for ten thousand years? Without ever leaving?" Su Chen asked, his face filled with amazement, utterly amazed.

Xi nodded.

"Why don’t you go out?" Su Chen felt a sense of pity for no apparent reason; this was even more confining than prison.

"Because, when I get angry, it hurts!" Xi said seriously.

"When you get angry?" Su Chen didn’t quite understand.

"Once, before I moved into room 999, I was just like the students of the Qian Long Institute. I practiced cultivation, ate, slept, and I had friends and companions," Xi’s beautiful eyes flashed with memories and joy. "But one time, someone bullied my friend, and I got angry!"

"And then?"

"After I got angry, I couldn’t control myself. I would devour everything around me!!!" Xi’s voice grew somber.

"Devour everything? What do you mean?"

"The headmaster said that when I get angry, an aura emanates from my body, and under that aura, everything around me turns into pure energy. Then, that pure energy is devoured by me through my eyes!"

Su Chen was stunned.

He could tell that Xi wasn’t lying.

And to him, Xi seemed incapable of lying.

But if Xi wasn’t lying, then it was too terrifying.

This was even more destructive than a nuclear bomb!

"After that incident, I no longer had companions or friends. They were afraid of me!" Xi’s expression revealed a touch of sorrow. "I also knew I was a monster, so, from then on, if I ever felt like getting angry, I would forcefully hold it back!!! But, when I suppress it, it hurts!"

"So, you’ve stayed here without going out!"

"Yes, this is my home." Xi nodded. "I don’t want to interact with people anymore, nor do I want to harm anyone else."

At the same moment, Jiuyou said, "Young boy Su, get closer to her!"

"Huh? Why?" Su Chen was confused.

"Just get closer if I tell you to!" Jiuyou huffed. "It’s not like it will hurt you!"

Taking a deep breath, Su Chen said, "Xi, may I come closer to you?"

"Big Brother isn’t afraid of me?" Xi asked curiously.

Big Brother? Su Chen was somewhat speechless. Xi was at least ten thousand years old, while he was only twenty-two, Big Brother...

However, Xi indeed looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old, so calling him "big brother" wasn’t really wrong.

"Not afraid!" said Su Chen, although he was indeed afraid. But he chose to trust Jiuyou more, knowing that Jiuyou wouldn’t harm him.

"Well then, come over here!" Xi thought for a moment and then agreed.

The next second, Su Chen walked towards Xi.

Quickly.

He was within a meter’s distance.

Su Chen could even clearly see each of Xi’s facial features. So perfect!!! Each feature was as exquisitely crafted as if by the divine work of a ghostly axe!

Meanwhile, Jiuyou excitedly said, "Young boy Su, do you feel it? Your Divine Mansion..."

"Huh?" If not for Jiuyou’s reminder, Su Chen might not have noticed, but now he could feel it. His Divine Mansion seemed very happy, very excited...

"What’s happening?" Su Chen was shocked.

"The aura emitted by Xi, your Divine Mansion really likes it!" Jiuyou confirmed. "By getting close to Xi, she can gradually improve the quality of your Divine Mansion."

"Ancient Breath?" Su Chen’s eyes lit up. "Are you saying that Xi possesses the Ancient Breath?"

"No, it’s an aura even more terrifying than the Ancient Breath!"

His heart quivered. An aura more terrifying than the Ancient Breath? What kind of aura was that?

"Big Brother, I want to go inside your body!" The next second, Xi said abruptly.

"Huh?" Su Chen was almost scared senseless. Into his body? What the devil?

"Let her in!" Jiuyou said with focus.

"Let her into the Divine Mansion?"

"Yes!"

"But... but inside my Divine Mansion, there’s the terrifying Earth Fire Spirit, Soul Devouring Beast!" Su Chen hesitated.

"It’s fine. They’re all within your Divine Mansion; you can control everything. If there’s any real danger, with just a thought, Xi can come out!"
