The Lord of the Universe
Ch.374 - Xiao-Xiao Motivation
“I've been in the formation array, you can teleport me now!”
Xiang Shin snorted Xiao-Xiao's voice in his head, obviously from the tone of his voice, he was still upset.
Xiang Shin did a hand seal, as soon as a formation array formed in front of Xiang Shin and a short while later, Xiao-Xiao appeared there.
“Hmph!”
The first thing Xiang Shin heard was Xiao-Xiao who snorted in annoyance.
“Why do you look upset Xiao-Xiao? Did Xiao Zhou do something to you?” Xiang Shin pretended innocently as if unaware of the reason Xiao-Xiao was upset.
“If you weren't Xiao Zhou's Elder, I would have beaten you!” Xiao-Xiao again snorted in annoyance.
“Eh? What is my fault?” Xiang Shin was still pretending to be innocent.
“Cih! Just showing your face in front of me is already your fault!”
“You have so much heart Xiao-Xiao,” Xiang Shin pretends to wipe his eyes as if there are tears coming out, “aku report your words to Xiao Zhou later.”
Xiao-Xiao instantly widened her eyes, as she stood before Xiang Shin and pulled his collar.
“Don't..don't you dare say anything to Xiao Zhou! Or... or I'll eat Planet Xiang and its contents!” Xiao-Xiao's eyes glared right in front of Xiang Shin's face.
Instead of being creepy, Xiang Shin actually felt it was cute because of Xiao-Xiao's appearance like a little girl.
“Ugh.. alright, I won't say anything to Xiao Zhou, now take off my shirt.”
Xiao-Xiao took off Xiang Shin's collar while snorting.
“Then Xiao-Xiao, it was the 13 stars I managed to get, now it will depend on you whether or not to conquer her will,” Xiang Shin saw Xiao-Xiao's face that still held a sense of annoyance, “remember not to disappoint Xiao Zhou!”
Xiao-Xiao was stunned for a moment before her expression turned serious. Xiao Zhou was Xiao-Xiao's greatest motivation. Xiang Shin knew about it, which is why he used Xiao Zhou's name to make Xiao-Xiao forget for a moment his regret and start getting serious.
“And do not force yourself if indeed the will of the stars gives a strong rejection. If you get hurt or die later, Xiao Zhou will feel sad.”
Xiao-Xiao darted towards one of the stars. He could feel the heat immediately before he even got close enough to the star.
Despite that, for a top-tier Spirit Beast like him who possessed strong physical endurance, this heat was nothing.
Xiao-Xiao continued to approach and the heat continued to intensify. He really tried to communicate with the will of the stars but he could not feel it at all.
The closer he got, he could feel the star giving a strong rejection to him until the heat he felt began to burn the skin.
Yet Xiao-Xiao did not give up so easily, she tried her best. But in the end, the star let out a surge of energy that made Xiao-Xiao bounce.
Xiang Shin opened the circle of portals then pulled Xiao-Xiao out of the star area.
“I told you not to force yourself. Take it easy, there are still 12 trials, now restore your condition first!”
Xiao-Xiao obeys Xiang Shin's words, he takes pills to make his body recover. Only then did Xiao-Xiao conduct her next experiment.
This time in the next experiment, the second star was a Star with a strong chill. The size is no different from the previous stars.
Unfortunately the same thing happened again, the star gave a stern rejection until Xiao-Xiao bounced away.
Xiao-Xiao recovers before performing the third experiment but fails again. Xiao-Xiao became annoyed, she went on to the fourth try.
The fourth attempt failed...
The fifth attempt failed...
The sixth attempt failed...
The seventh attempt failed...
Xiao-Xiao is getting upset. After he failed the fourth attempt, he did not recover his body until his body was now covered with external wounds.
Before Xiao-Xiao did her eighth try, Xiang Shin patted her on the shoulder until she did not leave immediately.
“What's up?”
“Pacify yourself, if you continue in your current condition then you will only continue to get failures.”
Xiao-Xiao did not reply but instead gave Xiang Shin a sharp look.
“Your motion is now unstable. I've said before stars can't be conquered by intimidation, you have to show her gentleness.”
“Tenderness? I am a Spirit Beast, never known such a word!”
“Really? Then what about when you were with Xiao Zhou?”
Xiao-Xiao instantly fell silent, a shadow of Xiao Zhou's face appearing on her head.
“That is what is called tenderness and that is how you deal with the will of the stars.”
“But..”.
Xiao-Xiao doesn't know how to be gentle. What he showed Xiao Zhou was a natural attitude that even he was not aware of doing.
“I see,” Xiang Shin nodded slowly, “that's why, just imagine if the star was Xiao Zhou, imagine Xiao Zhou's smile as bright and beautiful as a star. Imagine if the star was the light of Xiao Zhou happiness and you had to protect it.”
Xiang Shin gave Xiao-Xiao a suggestion that the little girl could see Xiao Zhou's shadow behind the starlight. He could be calm this time.
