1177 A Girl Once More (1/2)

As soon as Jiang Fei stepped inside the mysterious zone, the three elemental lords in the Throne of Gods opened their eyes all at the same time.

\”He's there! He's finally there!\” Neptulon spoke first.

\”Took him long enough! We have been waiting so long for this day to come!\” said Therazane.

\”Enough talk! Let's get to work!\” exclaimed Ragnaros impatiently.

\”Ho Ho! Let's start!\” Therazane and Neptulon both nodded in agreement.

As soon as the three elemental lords finished their conversation, a soft tremor could be felt from every corner across the entire world of Dawn Break.

And at that very same moment, the area Jiang Fei was in suddenly fell into complete darkness!

\”What's happening?\”

Jiang Fei was caught off guard by the sudden change.

\”Big brother! What are you doing here?\”

Surrounded by darkness, Jiang Fei suddenly heard a familiar voice calling out to him from behind.

\”Miluya?\”

Jiang Fei turned around reactively. And as he turned, the darkness faded away and there stood Miluya in her loli form. She was not in the body of a young lady like when Jiang Fei last saw her but appeared as a kid who was barely eight years old.

\”Big brother! Did you miss me?\” Miluya playfully skipped her way towards Jiang Fei and latched her arm around his before playfully pulling at his sleeve.

\”How did you become young again?\” Jiang Fei asked the girl. He was obviously confused by the girl's sudden age regression.

\”Hehehe. I don't know how, but I just turned out like this somehow, \” Miluya replied while looking back at him with her clear, innocent eyes. There was nothing different about her from Jiang Fei's memories.

\”Well, that's great news! But what brings you here?\”

Jiang Fei found it mind-boggling that Miluya had reverted back to her younger self, but it seemed that even Miluya herself could not explain how it became so. Jiang Fei had always been worried about Miluya's rapid aging and dreaded the thought of her dying too soon, but seeing her alive and well before him, he surmised that the girl's life cycle must have been some form of a continuous loop.

\”I came here after looking for you big brother!\” the young girl said with a sweet smile.

\”Looking for me? Okay!\” Jiang Fei accepted her answer. With Miluya's powers, finding him would be a piece of cake to her.

\”Big brother, let's play!\” Miluya said in a kittenish manner while swinging Jiang Fei's arm.

\”Err... Ok!\” Jiang Fei briefly hesitated before agreeing to the little girl's request.

Jiang Fei's purpose in entering the shrouded zone was to search for the missing Celestial NPCs. But even if he did manage to find any, he would have a tough time eliminating them because there's a limit to his own power. However, with a powerful escort like Miluya by his side, killing them would be a lot easier. As long as there were any Celestial NPCs hiding within the shrouded territory, they would not be able to leave alive.

Jiang Fei brought the little loli along as he explored further into the shrouded area, searching for any trace of the Celestials. But the deeper they went, the worse Jiang Fei's luck turned out to be. Instead of finding any NPCs there, they only found themselves swarmed by waves upon waves of mob spawns.

\”What's wrong with these monsters? Are they crazy?\”

Jiang Fei was bewildered by the monsters' unusual behavior. Normally, monsters would flee as soon as they see Miluya. But now, they were all charging at them without holding back. This would suggest that the mobs were either crazy or protecting something.

\”There must be something inside! Let's kill our way through!\” Jiang Fei's eyes lit up. With Miluya by his side, he was not afraid of getting into fights, but rather the lack of it!

\”Haha! Big brother, look at how strong I am!\” Miluya laughed happily as she threw grey flames at the monsters surrounding them, incinerating them upon contact.
