Chapter 177 – Screw This Xenospecies, Seriously

Liu Yue, at the center of the storm, seemed to have become a source of light herself. Her skin looked almost completely transparent, pale and pure. Her hair moved without wind, and the clothes on her body had already turned to dust the instant the storm appeared. Her entire body seemed to be standing in midair, slowly floating upward.

From the tips of her toes to the top of her head, a faint layer of white light shone out from beneath her skin. The light looked very cold, as if it carried no heat whatsoever, but it made it impossible to look away. Su Lifeng kept feeling that this light was somehow familiar, yet for the moment he could not say where he had seen it.

As if sensing that Su Lifeng was looking at her, Liu Yue suddenly turned her head.

Su Lifeng’s gaze changed again…

This face still bore some resemblance to the original Liu Yue, but every detail had become far more exquisite. Together with those bright blue eyes, her entire person was filled with a suffocating beauty.

Yes. She was beautiful in a way that did not look human!

Every detail was far too perfect, full of the feeling of something painstakingly carved. For such perfection to appear on a human was actually rather eerie.

That feeling was so intense that although it lasted less than a second, in Su Lifeng’s eyes, it seemed to stretch for a very long time. The moment Liu Yue looked back seemed almost frozen in place.

“Bang!”

After a huge muffled sound, the storm vanished. The next moment, Su Lifeng felt his body sway unsteadily. He shook his head, which had been jarred until it was somewhat dizzy, came back to himself, then looked around in shock.

A dark environment. Parked cars everywhere…

Wasn’t this a parking garage?

Just then, an angry roar suddenly came over. Immediately afterward, an “intestine” appeared at the elevator entrance. It turned left and right, then aimed itself in Su Lifeng’s direction. Clearly, it had “seen” Su Lifeng, because it let out another angry roar. Muffled bangs instantly came from inside the elevator shaft, giving the feeling that the entire building was shaking.

“Run already.” A female voice came from behind him, and then Su Lifeng felt his arm being grabbed. “What are you still standing there for?”

“Why do you think?!” Su Lifeng looked at Liu Yue in disbelief. She was no longer glowing all over, but her appearance had remained frozen in the form from just now. Without her “built-in light effects,” she no longer looked so beautiful that she felt unreal, but she still counted as an exceptional beauty.

Could that energy explosion just now really have had the effect of cosmetic surgery? If so, the old plastic surgery industry could be called pathetically weak…

But very quickly, Su Lifeng rejected that thought. In his view, that astonishingly beautiful side was probably the one closest to Liu Yue’s true appearance. Her previous look had been a disguise, and even the current her was not the true her…

“Who exactly are you?” Su Lifeng asked.

“That… even if I told you my name, you probably wouldn’t understand it. But transliterated, it should be Liuyue,” Liu Yue… no, Liuyue said.

“That’s the same as not saying anything…” Su Lifeng paused, then asked again, “Then I’ll ask more directly. Are you human?”

“No,” Liuyue answered very frankly.

“…Xenospecies?” Su Lifeng asked again.

“That is rather hard to explain…” Liuyue pursed her lips and hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, “You gained quite a bit from entering once too. That Xenospecies wanted to use you to get inside, but he didn’t expect that I knew you, so after we met, I didn’t kill you. That was his miscalculation. When I gathered energy just now, you even reached out and absorbed a little… These should allow you to evolve a bit further.”

“And then?” Su Lifeng asked. “What exactly did that Xenospecies want to do by going in?”

“Probably to investigate the situation. Same as that big one, though he is a little smarter than the big one,” Liuyue said.

“Anyway, let’s run outside first!” Liuyue abruptly sped up, pulling Su Lifeng in one breath out of the parking garage, while the enormous Shadowy Figure directly crushed the elevator shaft and crawled out from the rubble.

Cars were knocked aside and flattened one after another by it, producing a continuous series of huge muffled booms behind Su Lifeng and Liuyue.

“Are you very curious why I wanted to contact you?” Liuyue asked.

Su Lifeng glanced at her and said, “Naturally, for some purpose.”

“It is, but you can relax. I do not intend to harm you,” Liuyue said.

Su Lifeng said nothing. In his view, Liuyue was hiding far too much and was not worth trusting.

But at the moment, it did indeed seem that she had no intention of fighting him. In other words, at least for now, she was not an enemy.

“I’m very curious about something else right now,” Su Lifeng thought for a moment and said.

“What?” Liuyue blinked and asked with great interest.

Su Lifeng’s gaze moved below her neck. “Are you planning to keep running around naked like this?”

After her clothes burst apart earlier, she had dragged him out while looking like a newborn baby…

“Why didn’t you say so earlier? Besides, aren’t you staring at me right now?” Liuyue froze. She swept her hair forward, which barely counted as covering two points…

Su Lifeng said without changing expression, “Because I’m very curious what species you actually are. Unfortunately, I can’t see any clues from your body.”

“…But it doesn’t matter anyway,” Liuyue said.

“What does that mean?” Su Lifeng suddenly had an ominous premonition.

“It means I’ll see you later. That big one is yours.”

This time, before Su Lifeng could say anything, Liuyue suddenly disappeared.

Su Lifeng froze and stared in astonishment at the space before him. She really had vanished just like that, without any sign or trace at all.

Fine. No wonder she did not care about running around naked…

“But what do you mean, mine?” Before Su Lifeng had time to turn his head, he heard a thunderous crash behind him. The next moment, a car flew over his head and smashed heavily onto the roadside.

“Bang!”

Amid the explosion, Su Lifeng did not need to turn his head to know that the enormous Shadowy Figure was right behind him…

“Seriously… screw this Xenospecies…” Su Lifeng could not hold it in, and the thought surfaced in his mind.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

On the narrow street, this enormous E-class Xenospecies still held an enormous advantage.

Every one of its attacks sent cars and even utility poles flying wildly, leaving Su Lifeng with almost no chance to get close to it.

“Being too big is trouble too…” After failing several times, Su Lifeng simply turned and sprinted.

He remembered that there was a plaza ahead. Only in an open area could the opponent’s advantage be reduced to its lowest.
