After the True Heiress Travels Back
Chapter 408: An Underage Sphere

Chapter 408: Chapter 408: An Underage Sphere

Hearing An Xiaoya’s words, Chairman An’s expression, which had started off serious, became even colder.

He looked towards Shi Yaoguang, met her gaze, and couldn’t help but ask, "Master Shi, do you know what is going on?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded slightly, "I indeed know a bit, but..."

She paused briefly.

Chairman An anxiously watched her, "But what?"

"Chairman An might as well ask Xiaoya what she thinks."

"Ask Xiaoya?" Chairman An had no choice but to turn his gaze towards An Xiaoya, "Xiaoya, do you know what is going on?"

An Xiaoya spoke with some difficulty, "I don’t know if I know or not..."

Her words were somewhat convoluted.

Chairman An couldn’t help but become impatient, "Do you know or not?"

"I suspect that all of this might not be a dream of mine..."

An Xiaoya’s face became extremely grave, "All of this might have truly happened."

Chairman An’s expression became rigid, "Truly happened?"

This was obviously illogical.

If it really happened as An Xiaoya said, he would die trying to save An Xiaoya.

And An Xiaoya would be possessed by the Ghost King...

Whatever would happen next would undoubtedly be extremely dangerous.

And all of this had not happened yet.

To say there was no foul play involved was clearly impossible.

Meeting Chairman An’s doubtful eyes, Shi Yaoguang explained, "Chairman An, what Xiaoya is talking about are all possibilities, these are the trajectories of fate, however..."

"However, what?"

"Even predesignated traps can be altered by human actions."

After saying this, Shi Yaoguang looked at An Xiaoya, "I think you may have also realized what your so-called dream was all about."

"I think I know what it is all about, but..."

She hesitated, looking towards Shi Yaoguang and asked, "Master Shi, do you know what this is all about?"

Shi Yaoguang said, "Of course."

"I wasn’t planning on telling you at this time, that you have come to know this is also part of your destiny."

After speaking, she looked at Chairman An and said to him, "Could you please hand me the ball, Mr. Chairman?"

Chairman An hurriedly complied.

"Please, Master Shi."

Chairman An passed the ball to Shi Yaoguang, saying, "This ball is a bit sinister, please be careful."

Shi Yaoguang took the ball from his hands, her expression tinged with a bit more playfulness, "Sinister?"

She curved her lips, "I would like to see just how sinister it is."

Her voice had barely faded when the originally faintly hot ball suddenly became quiet as a chicken.

Hot?

Nonexistent.

It was just a ball, a very ordinary little ball.

Useless in everything it does.

No substance remains after it eats.

In short...

It’s cowardly, but not a cowardly ball.

Ready to be slaughtered or skinned, at your convenience.

Of course, these were not the ball’s own words.

This was only...

Shi Yaoguang’s own understanding.

The ball now only regretted its own weakness.

If only it could speak, it would never let itself be misunderstood.

It would definitely say, it’s wronged.

It’s so wronged.

An Xiaoya looked at the ancient and peculiar ball that Shi Yaoguang passed to her, her expression somewhat strange.

"Master Shi, I was drawn to it just now, which led to that dream. Do you think... this ball has something to do with the dream I had?"

"Or could it even be that it’s truly an evil object?"

Speaking of this, An Xiaoya was extremely cautious.

She was truly worried that something unexpected might happen.

Shi Yaoguang pinched the helpless little ball in his hand, his tone carelessly cold, "I know you have developed Spirit Intelligence and can talk, so just speak up. I don’t want to beat around the bush with you."

The little ball remained indifferent.

Shi Yaoguang frowned and squeezed the ball harder, his words filled with threat, "If it’s an inanimate object after all... destroying it wouldn’t be too pitiful."

Whether it was scared by these words or for some other reason,

the little ball dared not pretend to be dead any longer and hurriedly emitted a faint warmth.

It was afraid of scalding Shi Yaoguang and getting crushed in one bite, so it could only tentatively explore like this.

An Xiaoya reached out to touch it, feeling the warmth emanating from the sphere with some surprise, "This little thing, could it really have developed Spirit Intelligence?"

Shi Yaoguang nodded indifferently, "Indeed, it has developed Spirit Intelligence."

An Xiaoya’s eyes flickered, and she said purposefully, "I haven’t tried it yet... how to destroy a treasure that has developed Spirit Intelligence. Perhaps... Master Shi, let me give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Shi Yaoguang didn’t hesitate to throw the ball at her.

An Xiaoya carefully caught it and held it firmly in her palm.

The little ball cautiously released bits of warmth, afraid that a careless move might displease An Xiaoya and thus give Shi Yaoguang something to latch onto.

In fact, the ball was feeling quite depressed.

Super depressed.

It had been asleep for a very long time and suddenly woke up in a strange place. An Xiaoya unexpectedly sensed its fate, and it had already lost much of its power.

Now, to make matters worse, not only had it gained nothing, but it also had to give in return. It truly wanted to just burst into tears on the spot.

But it couldn’t.

Good children aren’t supposed to cry.

Pah.

That’s not the point.

In fact, what the little ball was really thinking was that it was very sad.

Because...

it couldn’t defeat the Great Demon King!

When it was captured by the Great Demon King, the Great Demon King didn’t look like he does now. Therefore, it didn’t recognize him at first.

But now, if it still couldn’t recognize him, that would be incredibly naive.

Now, it felt so very, very cold.

An Xiaoya, completely unaware of its plight, immediately said with eagerness, "So... shall we begin?"

"Begin?"

Shi Yaoguang narrowed his eyes, "How shall we begin?"

An Xiaoya looked at the ball in her hands, her tone ominously playful, "Why, just get on with it, of course!"

"A treasure capable of developing Spirit Intelligence clearly isn’t ordinary," Shi Yaoguang said approvingly.

"It surely isn’t ordinary, although it’s not of much use. But as a plaything, it is quite nice," he continued.

Just as An Xiaoya was about to agree, she heard Shi Yaoguang say, "And since it likes to play tricks, why not let it make the most of its talent?"

The little ball: "..."

No, it didn’t want to make use of its talent at all.

The ball’s grievances went largely unnoticed.

An Xiaoya looked at it and chuckled, "Be good, little ball~"

"Master Shi said it himself, let’s see you show off your talent. Are you not excited? Aren’t you happy?"

The little ball emitted a cold temperature.

Excited?

Happy?

To hell with that!

It was still an underage ball!

Pah, it was not just any ordinary ball, it was a Magical Treasure!

A Supreme Magical Treasure, something ordinary people weren’t even qualified to gaze upon.

Just thinking of this made the little ball tremble.

It was at this moment that Shi Yaoguang spoke again.

"I remember picking up this little thing in the secret realm of a certain powerful being."

At these words, An Xiaoya’s eyes widened in shock.
