Chapter 320: Ciallo( )

Eisdeus’s ice-blue eyes regarded him coldly, as if he were trash.

“I often help lovely girls… cough, I mean, if there’s a cute girl waiting for me to lend a hand, how could I just stand by?”

Jia Ji shook his finger, speaking with complete conviction.

This situation was no different from a silver-haired beauty suddenly rushing up to him, grabbing his hand, and saying, “Please use me!”

Even setting aside other concerns, if Angelia were left alone in the Holy Spirit Realm and one day, in her sleep, unconsciously shattered the world, wouldn’t that be partly his doing?

According to Merlin, Holy Spirits are beings that lend their power to “Holy Maidens,” and the physical bodies housing these spiritual entities can be concealed by an ability invisible to ordinary people—what is known as Holy Spirit Power.

Although Jia Ji possessed no Holy Spirit Power himself, thanks to a trace of purified blood previously shared with him by Pure Fox, he could, with just two glances, convert the immense Dragon Battle Qi entirely into Holy Spirit Power, enabling Angelia’s manifestation.

Across the entire material realm, only he could afford it.

If a Holy Spirit is injured, the damage manifests only as physical fatigue or similar symptoms, but it can naturally heal over time through Holy Spirit Power—making it an incredibly convenient existence.

Under normal circumstances, pure physical attacks are ineffective against Holy Spirits, unless the weapon is imbued with special energy; yet Holy Spirits can strike physical objects in the real world…

“Don’t worry! From now on, I’ve got your back!”

Angelia’s emotions shifted quickly—she had been on the verge of turning into a crying mess, but after Jia Ji’s assurance, she immediately stopped crying and broke into a confident smile.

The scene was truly priceless—a girl barely one meter tall declaring to a massive, muscular, powerfully built man, “I’ll protect you!”—it looked absurd in every way.

Jia Ji suddenly understood how Ken Shi Lang felt when he asked for protection from Fanma Yongci—though of course, the equally confident Jia Ji had no intention of ever facing a situation requiring him to summon a little girl to fight. Still, right now…

“Snap.”

Jia Ji snapped his fingers, wearing a smug grin.

“Four-Egghead Pawa!—‘Tiny Earth’!”

Holy Spirit power is so useful.

Come on, even if she’s not White Gold Star with time-stopping powers, a golden-haired little girl who can punch through the atmosphere and tank an atomic bomb is pretty awesome, isn’t she?

Like materializing from empty space, a tiny figure appeared atop Jia Ji’s broad shoulders—wide enough to open a refrigerator.

Her face was childish yet angelically cute, her golden hair cascading down to her ankles, shining like the sun, her pupils a rare orange-red, still clad in a thin white shirt—

Angelia Avallone

“I’m gonna punch you!”

She clenched her tiny fist, baring a small fang, cheeks puffed out in annoyance—perhaps displeased that he summoned her so casually… or maybe just shy in front of strangers.

“Come on, meet everyone!”

Jia Ji reached out with his large hand toward the small figure sitting on his shoulder.

“Hmph! No way!”

Though she had signed the contract with Jia Ji out of sheer boredom, Angelia had lived alone in the Holy Spirit Realm since age ten; now, facing anyone or anything, it was all new and unknown to her.

She had inexplicably gained tremendous power, yet the girl had absolutely no sense of being strong.

“Ahh.”

Without hesitation, Angelia opened her mouth and bit down on the hand reaching for her head—and Jia Ji’s skin, as tough as a “mobile church” with nuclear bunker-level defense, was breached in an instant.

“Ow ow ow… you’re Index!”

A trickle of crimson blood dripped from her fang; the girl stuck out her pink tongue and licked the wound, and a pale golden light instantly healed it—though this also ruined Jia Ji’s plan to lift her to his front.

Yagami Shu’s eyes brightened; she suddenly understood Jia Ji. The little golden-haired girl was quite adorable, like a doll—if she could be held during hibernation, it would surely be comforting.

Moreover, merely being partially empowered by her strength had lifted Jia Ji to the Mid-Blazing Realm; if she were taken… she thought she had a hundred ways to trick her into bed.

“Hm?”

Angelia glanced at the cunning youkai sage, who was clearly scheming, and as if seeing through her instantly, she blurted out plainly:

“I don’t like this one! Death sentence!”

Though inexperienced, to mistake her innocence for naivety would be a grave error—Angeila merely appeared childish; as a Holy Spirit visible only to those with a “pure heart,” she inherently possessed the ability to discern intent, and no one with ill will could approach her.

“Then what makes him any different?”

Yagami Shu’s gaze, thick with wounded resentment, stabbed into Jia Ji’s face—she lacked a pure heart, so did he?

“Perhaps… I’m just a person full of childlike charm, Ciallo～(∠ω<)⌒☆” Jia Ji winked at Yagami Shu; since saving the world, he felt he had transformed back from a great white shark into a little goldfish.

“Eww~ so gross!”

The power he now held, while insufficient against certain stacking techniques, was more than adequate for the vast majority of Rexue battle worlds; problems that once plagued him across countless worlds could now be resolved with a quick visit.

Eisdeus was much the same—her mindset had grown increasingly calm, as if everyone now looked to her like a kind old uncle…

While Angelia’s attention was distracted by Yagami Shu, Eisdeus silently appeared beside Jia Ji, reaching out to gently stroke the top of Angelia’s head.

“Mmm~”

Angelia let out a contented sound, like a giant golden retriever kitten purring.

“This blue-haired woman’s pretty nice~”

The Holy Maiden made this judgment—clearly, her affection for Eisdeus far surpassed that for Yagami Shu.

“Fine, forget about you two!”

Yagami Shu threw up her hands: “I’m just extra, aren’t I? You three just live your lives well—that’s all that matters.”

Her lips twitched; she felt if she stayed any longer, she’d suffer the same crushing pressure as Lan.

Speaking of Lan… it was time to go check on her.

Without giving Jia Ji time to react, Yagami Shu huffed irritably, swung her long purple robe, and vanished instantly.
