Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1234 - 1214: Mission Complete?

"Can you wait until I finish speaking? Annoying, isn’t it? You’re out of stuff!" Luo Qianqian was in a bad mood after being interrupted, snorted, and turned away, ignoring Bai Jian.

A tiny bundle jumped onto Luo Qianqian’s shoulder from the shadows of the trees, a moist touch appeared on her face. She turned her head, and a pair of eyes as bright as stars appeared beside her face, leaving her momentarily entranced.

What kind of eyes were these? They were like the starry sky, vast and boundless, with no boundary, hidden within the eyes of this sky.

And at this moment, Luo Qianqian suddenly understood what the Star Beast was, and knew what the Star Core was. She mildly opened her mouth, looking at these eyes, wanting to resist but helpless, letting that starry sky whirl in her eyes, imprinting...

In the Star Beast’s nest on the tree, a bag of beef jerky lay glamorously among many things, appearing so out of place, yet it was closest to where the Star Beast rested.

The feeling of being targeted by the Star Beast appeared in everyone’s hearts again, causing a slight shiver, indeed making no reaction.

Luo Qianqian’s bewildered eyes gradually refocused, looking at the Little Fox on her shoulder, stunned for a long time, and softly said, "Thank you."

The Little Fox leapt away the next moment.

In a flash, it disappeared, yet within Luo Qianqian’s eyes, the existence of the starry sky was faintly visible.

Feeling the oppressive force vanish, everyone hurried forward to look at Luo Qianqian. Luo Qianqian closed her eyes and a tear slipped from her eye.

"Shiqi, what’s wrong?" Huangfu Yihui hurriedly touched Luo Qianqian’s forehead, her body temperature was normal, she showed no signs of injury.

Yan grabbed Luo Qianqian’s wrist and probed her pulse, his expression also full of tension.

But after a moment, his face looked odd: "She’s fine..."

After the tears slid down her cheeks, Luo Qianqian opened her eyes: "My task is completed."

Her voice was calm yet carried a sense of distant serenity. Somehow, at this moment, they felt Luo Qianqian seemed somewhat untouchable, as if she belonged to a different world.

Silently for a long time, Luo Qianqian took back the items from Yan and Huangfu Yihui’s hands, and quietly took out lots of delicious foods from the ring—from beef jerky to dried fruit, from elixirs to candies—and said, "Yan, do you have elixirs that can restore Spiritual Power?"

Yan silently took out a Jade Vase, watching Luo Qianqian casually place it on the ground, neatly arranging about a cubic meter of things, then stood up, looked at the starry sky, and then glanced at the Ancient Tree before taking a deep breath and bowing deeply.

"Thank you."

Then she turned and left, without listening, without stopping, without looking back, ignoring the other three’s confusion.

"Shiqi, what’s going on? How did you kill that?" Bai Jian was full of puzzlement and quickly caught up with Luo Qianqian’s pace.

"Shiqi, you’re not hurt, right?" Compared to the process, Huangfu Yihui obviously cared more about the result.

Yan, looking at the wine in his hand, raised his brows—was this the reward? Luo Qianqian just reclaimed the Jade Pendant, that’s all.

As the four walked away, a small figure landed in front of the pile of items, white paws effortlessly flipped out a piece of chocolate, tore open the wrapper, and ate happily, white fur not even stained by the chocolate color.

Afterward, it leapt and landed on the Ancient Tree, holding the beef jerky, gently sighed.

The white Little Fox opened its eyes, the starlit eyes seemed to have dimmed slightly, but its expression did not seem so forlorn, it moved back and forth a few times, then moved the items under the tree onto the tree, curled up docilely into a ball, holding the beef jerky and fell into a slumber.

"What’s going on?" Bai Jian watched Luo Qianqian walk from night to day, from starry sky to blazing sun without stopping, directly pulling her—didn’t she need rest?

Luo Qianqian plopped down on the ground, quietly took out water and food and started eating.

Once she was full, she said, "The Star Beast is that Little Fox."

Bai Jian widened his eyes: "What?" filled with disbelief.

"And you..." seeing Luo Qianqian’s fondness for the Little Fox, Huangfu Yihui remained silent for a long time before speaking.

"The Star Core is its Inner Pill." Luo Qianqian expressed no unnecessary emotions, her expression was very calm: "It gave it to me."

Luo Qianqian stated this.

The Star Core is not only the Inner Pill but also its Cultivation Technique and direction.

Unlike humans, the Star Beast is a Child of the Cosmos, a unique existence amongst all living creatures.

More noble than the Child of Heavenly Favor.

The Star Beast is the embodiment of positive power in the world, and if deceitful methods are used, even if a Star Beast is killed, the Star Core cannot be obtained.

The power of the Star Core is a voluntary transfer.

It can only be said that Luo Qianqian used the right method and genuinely loved small animals, gaining the Star Beast’s approval.

So, she had nothing to give in return but to take out everything the Little Fox might like.

"I see..." Yan was silent for a moment: "Then your next task is..."

"Token." Luo Qianqian took out the Wooden Token: "But it seems fairly challenging, because the Wooden Token must be obtained on the Star Path, and the pressure on the Star Path should be much stronger than here."

"Huh? But mine’s not like that?" Huangfu Yihui looked dumbfounded at Yan.

Yan also shook his head: "My task is to investigate the real reason for the village’s disappearance."

Huangfu Yihui nodded repeatedly: "Mine is too."

"My task is also the Token." Bai Jian said eagerly.

"You only have two left, no need to say—everyone knows what your remaining two are."

One is the Token, and the other is the Heavenly Path.

But how could Luo Qianqian’s task be?

Luo Qianqian slightly furrowed her brows, she was sure this was her seventh task, silent for a long time: "You go ahead, I will go to the Star Path."

The month-long period was drawing closer, Luo Qianqian couldn’t pretend to ignore it.

She needed to face the Nine Heavens Pavilion.

She had challenged the Snow Palace with an issued war declaration, there was no reason for others in the Nine Heavens Pavilion to bear it.

Although the number of people was still considerable, it cannot be denied that many in the Nine Heavens Pavilion were drawn by the attractive enlistment conditions back then.

Should trouble arise, without a doubt, most of these people would leave without hesitation, and at such times only her family would bear the consequence.

Listening to Luo Qianqian’s words, and seeing her earnest face, Yan nodded: "We’ll resolve it quickly and come to find you."

"Alright." Luo Qianqian nodded.

The four divided into two groups, something entirely unexpected.

Luo Qianqian without hesitation followed Bai Jian to the start of the Star Path, thinking it’s wiser to gradually adapt to the Star Path, allowing the body to endure such pressure abruptly would undoubtedly be an unwise choice.
