Chapter 198: Chapter 135: That's What the Divine Chosen is Like, You Wouldn't Understand If You're Not The Chosen
The Divinity on the panel kept increasing at a rate of several points per second, and Xue Jing asked:
"How is the Mutation Rate now?"
Xue Wan closed her eyes to feel for a moment, then mused:
"Although I don't have specific detection, it has indeed decreased."
"I feel much less pressure in my consciousness..."
"Previously, my Mutation Rate had always been maintained between 15% and 21%, but now it should be... below 10%, and still dropping."
Xue Wan said joyfully:
"Jing, how did you do it?"
Xue Jing looked at the Divinity on the panel, which had reached three hundred and was still increasing. He smiled and said:
"This is the power bestowed upon me by 'The Lord of No Face and Thousand Faces.' It allows me to extract 'something' by touching your Stigmata, and this 'something' seems to be the cause of your contamination and Mutation."
Xue Wan exclaimed, "That's amazing..."
She lightly lifted her hand, and cracks opened in the floor, from which several green sprouts stubbornly emerged.
"It even didn't affect my abilities, only purely lowered the Mutation Rate."
"Jing, with this power, all the Blessed Ones could acknowledge you as their godfather!"
Xue Jing raised an eyebrow and said, "Forget it... don't tell anyone, I don't want to be captured to serve as a human purification device."
Xue Wan nodded, and seriously said, "Don't worry, I understand."
Her brother's ability was too significant. If exposed, it could drive all the Heretical God Cult mad.
At that time, who knows what huge turmoil it would cause, and at the center of the storm, Xue Jing's fate would not be in his own control, but at the mercy of others.
Her brother was the most important person to her, more important than life itself. Xue Wan would never do anything that could potentially harm Xue Jing.
She would never reveal this to anyone.
The rate of Divinity growth on the panel gradually slowed down until it completely stopped.
[Divine Absorption complete]
Xue Jing looked at the Divinity level, which now read 696 on the panel, and pleasantly patted Xue Wan's belly.
"Pat pat—"
"What are you doing, it's ticklish." Xue Wan shivered, showed dissatisfaction, and twisted her body away from his hand.
Under the accentuation of her pert, round buttocks, her slender waist had an alarmingly seductive appeal.
Unfortunately, the two present, one man and one cat, had no interest in this, akin to casting flirtatious glances at the blind.
"We're done, get dressed," said Xue Jing casually.
Xue Wan pouted, "Your wording feels a bit weird..."
She felt her spiritual condition and joyfully said, "I feel like my Mutation Rate has dropped to below 5%, amazing, Jing!"
In her excitement, Xue Wan hugged Xue Jing tightly, giving him a face wash.
Xue Jing pushed her away with his hand, and made a face as he said:
"Let me show you something even more impressive."
He took out a dark red seed from his pocket and casually threw it.
Dozens of green roots extended from the seed, grew rapidly upon meeting the wind, and soon formed a huge 'octopus,' its thick tentacles wriggling around the room.
Xue Wan was shocked again.
She felt that ever since she came to the hotel to see her brother, she had been in a constant state of shock.
"What is this now?"
Xue Jing smiled, and said:
"The Sovereign of No Face and Thousand Faces, He is a god with a thousand visages and faces, whose true form is 'No Face.' Being faceless allows Him to wear a thousand faces... After I extracted 'something' from the Stigmata of you and your colleagues, these things became one of the 'Thousand Faces,' turning into my possessions, which I can wear at will."
"Simply put, through this, I now possess abilities similar to your control over plants."
Xue Wan was floored, "That's just cheating!"
Xue Jing: "It's how things are for a Divine Chosen, you wouldn't understand if you aren't one."
Xue Wan: "..."
"Did you put up an act for yourself?" Xue Wan pinched Xue Jing's cheeks on both sides, speaking fiercely.
"Let go, or I'll stab you with a tentacle," Xue Jing said indifferently.
Xue Wan snorted lightly, released her hands, and then fell silent for a moment before speaking softly:
"Jing, your sister will definitely find a way to solve the 'Phenomenon of Divine Disappearance' for the Divine Chosen."
She hugged Xue Jing, burying her face into his chest.
"So... promise your sister, until I find a way, don't disappear, okay?"
A muffled voice with a slight tremble came from within her embrace.
Xue Jing was silent for a while, then placed his hands on Xue Wan's shoulders and said gently:
"Don't worry... I absolutely won't disappear. Trust me."
...
The siblings talked for a long time in the hotel room until dusk, and after having dinner with Xue Jing, Xue Wan then left.
She didn't take Miao Miao with her, saying she had something to do, and it would be inconvenient with a cat. She planned to come pick up Little Feng Wan the next day.
[... Acting Experience Points +366]
[Acting promoted to Lv3 (133/800)]
Glancing at the notification on the panel, Xue Jing sighed softly.
"You didn't tell me you had become a Blessed One."
Miao Miao sat squatting on the sofa, her emerald-like vertical pupils narrowing slightly.
"It's just been these few days; I haven't had the chance to tell you yet, you were always with my sister, Teacher Wan," said Xue Jing sincerely.
Acting Lv3, flawless.
"Oh?" Miao Miao gave him a doubtful glance.
"Let's assume that's the case then... You really do manage to find trouble wherever you go, sometimes becoming a Blessed One, sometimes being sought out by other Blessed Ones."
With a human-like ponderous expression, Miao Miao said, "How about we go to a temple to pray first?"
Xue Jing: "..."
He cleared his throat and said, "I am now The Chosen of The Lord of No Face and Thousand Faces, officially in the ranks. Do you think it's appropriate to worship another?"
Miao Miao collapsed onto the sofa, all four paws in the air, and sighed, "The universe ends in bureaucracy..."
A pale golden light glowed, and a black-haired girl with cat ears appeared on the sofa.
She picked up a thin shirt lying next to her, put it on, and her graceful figure was vaguely visible.
Her narrow, bright phoenix eyes looked at Xue Jing, her vermilion lips parting to say:
"...That 'Phenomenon of Divine Disappearance' your sister mentioned, what do you plan to do about it?"
Xue Jing smiled and replied, "The boat will find its way when it gets to the bridge."
He walked over and sat in front of Ning Feng Wan, stroking her head as he spoke tenderly:
"Don't worry, I won't suddenly disappear. Don't be afraid."
"Who's afraid—"
Ning Feng Wan began to retort instinctively, but her words faltered halfway, her plush lips trembling slightly, unable to continue.
The mist in her narrow phoenix eyes swirled, and tears were about to fall.
Xue Jing broke into a sweat.
This was becoming troublesome...
Could he still find a reason to explain this in time?
"Really, although I can't give a solid reason, I feel, I might be different from the other Divine Chosen," he said, still giving a reason.
His eyes sparkled with a smile.
"I'm more special."
