Nine Star Burden - Chapter 112

Chapter 112: 112

Chapter 112: Indeed Toxic

In Apartment 701 of Building G7, Huayuan Estate in Dongcheng District, Jiangbin City .

At this time, Han Jiangxue came out of the bathroom, holding a towel in one hand and wiping her wet, black hair . She was blushing like a peach, looking extremely tempting .

When Jiang Xiao saw Han Jiangxue pushing open the door of his room, his heart began to race .

After staying in the snowfield for a month, even a White Ghoul Witch would seem pretty to Jiang Xiao, what more the pure and aloof Han Jiangxue .

Her pink cheeks made her face look less aloof and more humane .

“Are you done showering?” Han Jiangxue wiped her hair and sat on Jiang Xiao’s single bed .

“Yeah, I was done since a long time ago,” Jiang Xiao answered . Han Jiangxue showered in the bathroom in her parents’ bedroom, while Jiang Xiao showered in the bathroom in the living room .

“Accompany me to the hairdresser later,” said Han Jiangxue, pulling a corpse out of the Sky Smasher .

The heartwarming scene was instantly ruined by the corpse that suddenly appeared on the floor of Jiang Xiao’s room .

“When we were in the snowfield, Second Last threw him into my Sky Smasher but didn’t ask me for him when we left . This man’s status in the mercenary corps is rather high . He has a body made of steel, and I reckon he should have a lot of practical Star Techniques . ”

Jiang Xiao nodded and said, “But my Endurance can be upgraded . Now, it’s already of Gold Quality . I have too few star slots, so I can’t afford to waste them . ”

“Is it really Gold Quality?” Han Jiangxue asked and sighed softly .

“Yes . ” Jiang Xiao didn’t need to hide anything from Han Jiangxue . So, he lit up the Star Map immediately .

The dreamy Big Dipper Star Map appeared on his body and the second star slot emitted a faint golden light .

Han Jiangxue looked at the Gold Quality star slot and began to feel a little distracted .

Her younger brother didn’t lie . Indeed, he had a special power .

Han Jiangxue murmured, “From now on, you have to be careful about lighting up your Star Map . ”

Jiang Xiao smiled and said indifferently, “I’m used to hiding it . Rest assured . Remember when we were in the Holy Ground . No matter how dangerous it may be, I know how to protect myself . I won’t light up my Star Map . ”

Han Jiangxue sighed and said, “Thanks to the fact that you are not a Rules Awakened . ”

Jiang Xiao said, “By the way, Second Last and I have once slaughtered similar mercenaries . According to your current physical strength, it would be difficult for you to break his defense even if you’re facing this corpse . ”

“Yeah… that’s an issue . ” Han Jiangxue nodded after staying silent for a moment .

The two of them stared at a treasure but realized that they did not have the ability to activate it .

Wow, feels really terrible .

“Before going to Holy Ground, our team also killed several mercenaries and obtained four Star Beads . You can take a look,” Han Jiangxue said and took out four Star Beads, which she then handed to Jiang Xiao .

She collected those Star Beads when she strayed away .

“There are exactly four Star Beads, each of us can have one . Pick one,” said Han Jiangxue .

Jiang Xiao grabbed the Star Bead that was emitting a faint glow, and a huge piece of information flowed into his head .

Just as he had expected, they were all mud-related Star Techniques .

There were a bunch of Star Techniques for attacking and some for controlling, which had to be connected to mud in order to work . For someone like Jiang Xiao who had very few star slots, it was indeed a tough decision .

How are these Star Techniques?

Great, of course .

However, Jiang Xiao was a little bit reluctant to free up his star slot .

First of all, Jiang Xiao did not think that he would not be visiting Russia anytime soon . He would possibly go to university as well, or perhaps, join another team after he graduated from High School . However, he didn’t think that it would be normal to go to Russia for missions either .

Jiang Xiao felt that these Star Techniques were not as good as those of White Ghoul Star Beads in terms of huge output .

After experiencing the Gold Quality Green Glow, Jiang Xiao fully understood the truth . He felt that it would be better to purchase cheaper Star Beads that he could use from business firms, instead of absorbing the ones that were harder to get .

As long as the additional attributes of the Star Bead were good, they could occupy one of Jiang Xiao’s six remaining star slots .

Faced with the Silver Quality Star Technique, Jiang Xiao shook his head and said, “I didn’t detect any Medical Star Techniques . ”

“Well . ” Han Jiangxue responded calmly, seemingly having expected that to be the case .

“If nothing goes wrong, these Galaxy Stage Star Beads will be very helpful for you to break through the Nebula Stage . It will be a waste for me . I shall give this one to you and see if it can help you breakthrough . If it doesn’t work, just keep one for assurance . It’d be better if you can breakthrough . It can continue to help you break through the plateau in the Nebula Stage . ”

“Xiaopi…” Han Jiangxue murmured, feeling touched while staring at Jiang Xiao quietly .

“If we want to secure the first place in the Beijiang Province High School League… we should indeed improve our strength,” Han Jiangxue said gently .

Jiang Xiao picked out two Star Beads that contained 12 or 13 Star Techniques and handed them to Han Jiangxue . “Well, of course . I hope you’ll be as strong as possible . ”

Han Jiangxue leaned forward and reached out to rub Jiang Xiao’s head .

Jiang Xiao shunned and thought, There’s still a corpse lying in the room, can you not make the ambiance so heartwarming?

Feels weird .

Jiang Xiao frowned and said, “What do I do about this…”

Han Jiangxue hesitated and said, “Should I leave it to Xia Yan and let her father rip the skull apart?”

“It seems to be the only way…” Jiang Xiao’s eyes lit up all of a sudden and he turned to look at Han Jiangxue with an intense gaze .

Han Jiangxue subconsciously tugged her white nightdress and covered her long and beautiful pair of legs .

Jiang Xiao was speechless .

Han Jiangxue said, “Go on . ”

“Sky Smasher,” Jiang Xiao continued .

“Well . ” Han Jiangxue waved his hands . The layers of space in front of Jiang Xiao’s door overlapped and seemed to have formed a broken mirror .

Jiang Xiao dragged the corpse with his hands and threw it directly into Sky Smasher, but he didn’t let go .

Jiang Xiao constantly adjusted the angle and distance and flung the corpse into the Sky Smasher while still grabbing its head and moving outwards slowly .

He continued to do so until the entire corpse disappeared, leaving behind only its head on Earth . He then turned his head to look at Han Jiangxue . “Close your Sky Smasher . ”

Han Jiangxue’s beautiful eyes lit up and she looked at Jiang Xiao quietly, only to realize that Jiang Xiao was feeling uncomfortable .

“Little Jiangxue?” Jiang Xiao asked again, making the situation seem less awkward all of a sudden .

Han Jiangxue glowered at Jiang Xiao and said, “My father’s surname is Han and my mother’s surname is Jiang . My name is Xue . ”

Jiang Xiao pouted and said, “Don’t talk to me about names . Don’t you know where my name came from?”

“Haha . ” Han Jiangxue smirked, seemingly having been reminded of the adorable golden retriever . She quickly put Sky Smasher away .

Whee…

The Gold Quality Sky Smasher was used as a Dimensional Space cutter even though it was a space backpack that could kill .

It actually severed the steel body of the mercenary .

Jiang Xiao grabbed the huge head and the neck that was uneven and grooved, only to see that the flesh was all mushed up and bloodied .

“Wow, I think we’d better go to the bathroom . This is too bloody,” Jiang Xiao said with an awkward expression .

However, what made Jiang Xiao feel even more complicated was the fact that he seemed to have really immersed himself in the profession of being an Awakened .

A few months ago, he was an ordinary person living in an ordinary world .

However, not only did he end up killing someone, he was even cutting up a corpse now .

“Why do I feel like a butcher?” Jiang Xiao murmured . However, the corpse in his hand was the enemy who invaded China, thus making Jiang Xiao feel less guilty .

Han Jiangxue looked at Jiang Xiao and was amazed by his brilliant dissection skills .

She stood up and touched Jiang Xiao’s head before rubbing it forcefully . “They’re right . You are a toxic healer . ”
