Chapter 183 This is the Heart of the Stars
Little Maoqiu's words not only cleverly resolved Shen Li's misunderstanding of Xinghan, but also made the tense atmosphere instantly relaxed in a humorous way.
Shen Li couldn't help but laugh at the cuteness of the little ball. She patted the little ball's head gently with the feathers of her wings and said:
"You are quite good at talking, little guy. Okay, I will trust you for once."
Seeing this, Xinghan also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the little ball of fur with gratitude.
He knew that with the help of the little fur ball, communication and trust between them would become smoother.
So, he took the opportunity to put forward his idea: "Shen Li, I have a plan. I want to take you to a place where there may be a way to help you recover your strength. Are you willing to believe me?"
Shen Li looked at Xinghan's sincere eyes, then looked at the little fur ball who was trying hard to "please" her, but still did not give in easily.
"Not for now. Just undo the barrier, undo the barrier, Senior Xinghan, listen carefully, please respect yourself and undo the barrier for me!"
Faced with Shen Li's resolute attitude to lift the barrier, Xinghan once again tried to comfort her with a gentle but firm voice:
"Shen Li, listen to me. This barrier is designed to protect your safety. The outside world is full of unknowns and dangers. You are not in a good condition to go out."
However, Shen Li's eyes revealed an unquestionable determination, and she shook her head firmly:
"Xinghan, I appreciate your concern, but I have my own decision. I need freedom and need to face those challenges instead of hiding here."
Just when the atmosphere was at a stalemate again, the little fur ball stepped forward, stood between the two of them, and said in its childish but firm voice:
"Brother Xinghan, I understand your concerns, but Sister Shenli is right. She needs freedom and needs to grow. As a divine beast, I have the ability to protect her and let her explore the world within a safe range."
After saying this, a faint light emanated from the little fur ball's body, and it waved its newly grown, furry little tail, as if it was performing some ancient magical skill.
As the light dissipated, the barrier slowly opened up a gap, enough for Shen Li to enter and exit freely.
Shen Li looked at this scene in surprise. She turned to look at the little ball of fur, her eyes full of confusion and curiosity:
"You...you are a divine beast? Can you really break this barrier?"
The little fur ball shook its head proudly, and it transformed into a small, cute, furry puppy, with a cunning light flashing in its eyes:
"Hehe, I am a divine beast! Although I look like a puppy, I am a divine beast with great power! Sister Shen Li, I will be your guardian beast from now on, please take me with you every day!"
Xinghan was stunned watching from the side. He didn't expect that the little fur ball actually had such great ability and won Shen Li's favor so quickly.
Shen Li was completely impressed by the cuteness and magical abilities of the little fur ball. She bent down, gently picked up the little fur ball, and said with a smile: "Okay, little fur ball, let's go on adventures together in the future!"
The little ball of fur was jumping flexibly in the air, making a "woooo" sound from its mouth, as if it was really performing some amazing magic.
Its movements were exaggerated and funny, causing Shen Li to burst out laughing, and even Xinghan couldn't help but be amused by its performance.
"Look, Sister Shen Li, this is the power of my divine beast. The star barrier is just a piece of cake for me!" The little fur ball said proudly, although it knew in its heart that this was actually the result of Xinghan's silent "support" behind the scenes.
However, Shen Li did not notice this. She was completely attracted by the performance of the little ball, with surprise and admiration in her eyes. As the little ball's "spell" was completed, the star barrier really slowly opened.
"Wow, it's really open!" Shen Li exclaimed. Her colorful feathers seemed to feel her joy at this moment, flashing an even brighter light.
She couldn't wait to spread her wings and fly to explore the unknown world.
Xinghan looked at Shen Li's excitement, and his heart was filled with warmth and satisfaction.
He knew that even though the little ball was performing, it was enough to bring Shen Li happiness and hope.
He smiled and nodded, tacitly acknowledging the little ball's "contribution".
"Okay, Shen Li, now you can come and go freely. But remember to be careful, the outside world is wonderful, but the outside world is also helpless. You have to know that although the outside world is wonderful, it is also full of dangers." Xinghan reminded.
Xinghan looked at Shen Li's receding back, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, then he turned to face the little fur ball, a cunning light flashing in his eyes.
He whispered to the little fur ball: "Little fur ball, you still have a special surprise for Shen Li, are you ready?"
When the little fur ball heard this, it immediately straightened up, with excitement flashing in its eyes. It nodded, as if to say, "Of course I'm ready. Just watch me! I performed very well just now!"
So, Xinghan and the little ball of fur returned to Shen Li's room together. At this time, Shen Li was already waiting in the room impatiently. Her colorful feathers were even more gorgeous and dazzling in the sunlight, and her eyes were full of surprise at regaining her freedom.
"Shen Li, the little ball of fur said it has a special gift for you." Xinghan said to Shen Li with a smile.
When Shen Li heard this, her eyes immediately lit up. She looked at the little fur ball and asked expectantly, "Really? Little fur ball, what surprise are you going to give me?"
Seeing this, the little fur ball wagged its tail proudly, then closed its eyes and took a deep breath, as if gathering strength.
Suddenly, its body began to emit a soft light, which gradually gathered into a ball of light, suspended in the air.
"Watch out, Sister Shen Li!" said the little fur ball, stretching out his paw and waving it gently, and the ball of light flew towards Shen Li.
Shen Li widened her eyes in surprise. She lightly lifted her feathers and caught the ball of light. The ball of light slowly opened on her feathers, revealing a crystal clear gem inside that emitted a faint glow.
This gem exudes a blue fluorescence, a warm and gentle power, which makes Shen Li feel an unprecedented sense of security and comfort.
"This is..." Shen Li looked at the gem in his hand with some disbelief.
"This is the Heart of the Stars. It is made from the essence I drew from the Star Boundary." The little fur ball explained, "It can enhance your strength and protect you from the outside world. More importantly, it represents the friendship and trust between us. No matter what difficulties you encounter in the future, I will be by your side to support you."
"Thank you, little beast." Shen Li said softly, shaking the noble phoenix crown.
She seemed to be wondering how this little fur ball understood her so well. Xinghan took the opportunity to explain, "Is it a divine beast? It can understand your language."
Shen Li shook her phoenix crown unhappily, and the phoenix chirped. Xinghan looked at the little fur ball in surprise.
The fur ball translated, "She said, this is your language too. We are all human."
Xinghan nodded in relief and said, "You are right, we are all human. Five thousand years of wind and rain have hidden so many dreams. All those with yellow faces are Chinese..."
