Nine Star Burden

finding a parking space, he lowered his hat and walked into the alley with an umbrella.

The female receptionist at the front desk of the Qingqing grassland express hotel was not surprised at all.
She lowered her hat and whispered to Jiang Xiao.
In fact, she ran into such sneaky customers every day.

After asking for the room number, Jiang Xiao took the elevator to the sixth floor and knocked on the door of Room 611A.

The door was opened by a huge figure, which blocked the door completely.

Without saying anything, Jiang Xiao pushed her inside and turned around to close the door.
He then finally took off his hat and turned around to see the expressionless second last.

She … There was no change, no weight gain, no weight loss, hmm … It didn’t grow.

The two of them quietly sized each other up.
Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely dull.

She was wearing black trousers, a white shirt, and a long black trench coat.
It did look like she was attending a funeral.

Suddenly, she moved.
She reached behind her head and untied her low ponytail.
She raised her head slightly and shook it.
Then, she tied her ponytail again.
Looking at her posture …

Usually, her ponytail was tied very low, which gave her a unique lazy temperament.
Even when she was fighting to the death in the snowfield holy ground, she was still like this.

So far, Jiang Xiao had only seen her tie a high ponytail once, which seemed to represent her attitude of preparing for battle when they entered the snowy mountain region.

Jiang Xiao took a step forward and grabbed her braid.””I’ll help you tie it up.
”

Second last raised her eyebrows and immediately let go of her hand, after which her long hair fell down.
She looked around and sat on the chair before throwing the hair tie to Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao walked behind her and tied her hair into a low ponytail again to make sure that she wouldn’t transform …

“As you can see, I’m fine,” Jiang Xiao said.

Second last expressed assent.

Jiang Xiao rolled his eyes at the back of her head and said,””How about you?”

Second last said,”alive.”

Jiang Xiao couldn’t help but roll his eyes at the back of her head.

After a long while, Jiang Xiao said,”look at you.
You’re dressed in black and white.
Are you really here to collect my corpse?”

Second last said in a hoarse voice,”come out of the dimensional space and step into a normal society.
Change your clothes.
Remind yourself to change your style of doing things.”

“Uh …” Jiang Xiao thought that what she said made sense.
Although the winner takes all in normal society, it was a civilized society after all.
Hence, all kinds of infighting and infighting were rarely accompanied by smoke.

It was completely different from the dimensional space.
There was a real fight there, and it was the kind where one’s face would be covered in blood …

“Uh …” Jiang Xiao thought for a while and said,”thank you for coming to collect my corpse?”

Second last said nonchalantly,”yes.”

Jiang Xiao felt the veins on his forehead throbbing.
He looked at the back of her head in front of him and had the urge to slap her.

Jiang Xiao took a deep breath and thought, it’s not the time to rebel yet.
He said,””I’m A Celebrity now.
If I don’t choose a hidden place, it’ll be hard to chat.
”

Second last said,”I’ve checked.
The room is safe.
Don’t worry.”

Jiang Xiao suddenly lowered his voice and whispered into second last’s ear,””I’ve absorbed the space-time gap and the ruins of calamity.
I also have two star techniques in one star.”

Second last was slightly stunned and turned her head around abruptly.
She looked up slightly and widened her eyes.
“It’s true.
”

Jiang Xiao said nonchalantly,””Yes.”

Second last was speechless.

Whoosh! Comfortable! Cool!

Jiang Xiao forcefully turned her head back and continued to tie her ponytail.
He did it very low to ensure that she was in a lazy state.

Well, a big cat or something was much cuter than a Lynx …

Jiang Xiao walked towards her and sat down on the sofa.””I want to ask you for a favor.”

Second last agreed.

Jiang Xiao asked softly,’can you take my bait away? Although the decoy can’t be upgraded to a STAR technique quality, it can hone my various combat skills.
The decoy is also another me-archery, swordsmanship, punching and kicking, and daggers.
If I master the decoy, I’ll also master it.
”

Second last remained silent for a while before saying,”leave the bait behind.
You’ll come with me.”

Jiang Xiao said helplessly,”no, I can’t use star techniques as bait.
It’ll be easy for me to be exposed.
Although there are more cultural classes in my freshman year, it’s also normal for me to go out of school to gain experience.
I heard that there’s also a night field training.
The bait will definitely be exposed.
Safety should be the priority.”

Second last didn’t respond and only nodded thoughtfully.

Jiang Xiao said,”I just want to ask.
I’m still the bait.
Can you hide me?”

Second last said,”my team is relatively independent and I have a lot of autonomy.
That won’t be a problem.” Since this is your plan, I’ll take in the two apprentices that they’ve been trying to give me, and I’ll bring you along.
If I bring an apprentice, I’ll have more freedom.
”

Jiang Xiao was overjoyed and thought, it worked!

Second last said in a hoarse voice,”it’s a good thing that you don’t have any star techniques.
It’ll help you focus on improving your skills.”

Jiang Xiao suddenly asked,”that’s true.
However, my decoy doesn’t have any star techniques.
It’s equivalent to having a burden on your team.
Will it drag you down?”

Second last said calmly,”from the perspective of a burden, you’re no different from a bait.
You’re no different.”

Jiang Xiao was dumbfounded.
