I'm bound to the World-Destroying Witch

Chapter 3.3. Two Sirius

The moonlight was as clear as if it had been washed.

The top floor of a skyscraper that reaches straight into the clouds.

Chana Yuki, dressed in a snow-white dress, sat cross-legged in the center of a simple European-style sofa, her fingertips, adorned with lace gloves, lightly tapping her knees.

In the distance, by a window, stood a tall man in a sharp suit and white gloves, observing the stars through a huge astronomical telescope.

"As expected of the Holy Maiden, she is a key figure being groomed by the Black Moon Church. There are probably only a handful of these Boro-class astrological lenses in the entire District 51."

The man carefully adjusted the telescope and asked with a puzzled look, "Does Your Excellency enjoy stargazing?"

Chana took a sip of tea, her expression calm: "The distribution of star systems in which each star god resides in the astral plane perfectly conforms to the Fibonacci spiral. Studying them is beneficial to refining my probability criteria."

Probability principle? The man was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had indeed heard that this prospective saintess had her own set of behavioral principles, and that she would conduct rigorous probability calculations before making any major decisions.

He naturally knew nothing about this, but he was deeply shocked.

A moment later, one of his men hurriedly walked up to the man, whispered a few words to him, and then bowed and left.

Qi Xiao turned to look at the woman in the snow-white dress on the sofa and said with a faint smile, "My subordinate said that after my junior brother Xia got the marriage certificate from you, he rushed to the Purple Hydrangea Manor. He seemed very agitated. Even after a car accident on the way, he didn't give up. I guess he was going to cause trouble and annul the engagement."

“If he really offends the Prince and the Mu family, then things will get interesting.”

Upon hearing this, Chana Yuki frowned slightly and sighed softly, "As expected, he's still the same old him. He never thinks before he acts. Really."

She knew that the competition within the Six-Tails Clan was extremely fierce, and the current generation of disciples were fighting intensely for the sole right to inherit the Six-Tails.

Now, the only ones qualified to obtain the Six-Tailed Spirit Robe are Xia Feng and his thirteenth senior brother, Qi Xiao.

"In short, we are very grateful for Her Majesty the Holy Maiden's help this time, which allowed Xia Feng to marry into the Mu family, thus depriving him of the right to inherit the Six-Tailed Society's spiritual robe."

In return, my family and I will do everything in our power to provide Miss Nayuki with resources and support in her bid for the title of Saintess.

Qi Xiao's voice was calm. In fact, the competition for the Six-Tailed Spirit Robe inheritance still had a year to go, but he couldn't wait a year, so he used this strategy to kick Xia Feng out of the competition and end it ahead of time.

This is also to prevent Xia Feng from being promoted to a first-level Spirit Master in a year, which would increase the uncertainty, although such a possibility is extremely small.

Chana gazed at the hazy moonlight outside the glass window, remained silent for a moment, then murmured with a hint of guilt, "In the end, he caused trouble at the Prince's mansion because he liked me, and me..."

"Your Excellency, when faced with the interests of all three parties, I suggest you do not be soft-hearted. Xia Feng marrying into the Mu family allows the Mu family to gain access to the Duke's relationship, enabling me to obtain the Six-Tailed Spirit Robe ahead of time. This will give Miss Naixue an extra advantage in the competition for the Holy Maiden title, while also eliminating the possibility of Xia Feng harassing you in the future. It's a win-win situation, and this is the inevitable trend."

"Moreover, since Xia Feng caused trouble at the Prince's Mansion tonight, does Miss Nai Xue really want to give up her position as Holy Maiden and marry such an impulsive, reckless, and reckless fool?"

Upon hearing this, Chana Yuki fell silent, and the slight guilt in her heart quickly dissipated.

Indeed, for the sake of the position of Saintess, it's time to forget about this childhood crush. With Xia Feng's talent, he can't offer her any help whatsoever.

For someone with average talent like Xia Feng, she could find tens of thousands of spirit masters in the empire's database with almost identical growth paths. After comparing and statistically analyzing a large number of samples, and based on the known information about Xia Feng, abandoning Xia Feng was the only relatively safe method with a success rate of over 60% in advancing to sainthood.

Moreover, the Miss Mu whom she introduced to Xia Feng was indeed quite good. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also gentle and seemed like a good wife who could take care of her family. Even if Xia Feng married into the family, it wouldn't be a bad deal for him.

"what?"

Qi Xiao looked at the mysterious star realm through the telescope and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

"what happened?"

"Two?! How can there be two?!"

Qi Xiao's calm expression betrayed his astonishment, and his tone was one of disbelief: "Two Siriuses have appeared in the Astral Plane!"

District One, Imperial Astronomical Bureau.

This is a special organization because when someone advances to the first tier of Spirit Master, a corresponding star in the astral plane (not the real starry sky) will light up. Therefore, the daily work of the Astronomical Bureau is to monitor and count how many new first-tier Spirit Masters are promoted nationwide each year.

An elderly man with white hair lay on a rocking chair made of nanmu wood, swaying leisurely and fast asleep.

Clerks wearing star-blue cloaks bustled around him.

After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding sounds suddenly quieted down, and a clerk quickly walked to the white-haired old man's side and whispered, "Director, Director!"

The old man smacked his lips, turned to the side, and said in a dissatisfied and vague tone, "Don't bother me unless it's the end of the world. You'd better figure it out yourself."

The clerk remained silent for a moment.

He continued helplessly, "Chief, why don't you get up and take a look?"

The old man frowned, then suddenly stood up, puffing out his beard and glaring: "You brat, you better have something really big to say!"

The clerk smiled but remained silent.

The old man snorted and stormed up the observatory in a fit of rage.

One minute later.

The white-haired old man: "."

"You son of a bitch! This really is the end of the world!"

His previously irritable expression vanished instantly, replaced by a solemn gaze fixed on the terrifying scene deep within the astral plane.

Two.

He was the director of the Bureau of Astronomy, and he had lived for nearly a hundred years, and he had never seen anything so outrageous.

After all, every star in the astral plane is unique, so how could there be two Siriuses?! Especially since they represent a calamity star that foretells an era of chaos!
The last time Sirius appeared, it caused an uproar among the imperial high command, which led to the establishment of a special task force to monitor the Sirius region.

I can't believe that another one has appeared after only a year!
"Block the news!"

The white-haired old man casually pulled up a star-blue cloak and draped it over himself. He hunched over and strode quickly toward the gate. "I'm going to the Imperial Court. You continue your observations and try to deduce the specific timeframe of its awakening!"

"Yes!" Everyone bowed.

"how can that be"

Chana looked out at the star realm through the Bologna-class astronomical lens, where two identical dark planets revolved symmetrically around the central star.

Although they are two small asteroids, they are like cosmic behemoths occupying the two ends of a galaxy, exuding a strange and terrifying aura as if they are about to devour the endless brilliance of the central star.

"When did this new Sirius appear?" Chana asked, her expression revealing undisguised shock.

"The exact time cannot be determined. The starlight stretched across the Sirius star field for a full month. Just now, when I was observing it, the starlight had just dissipated, and then I saw this scene. It's as if it appeared out of thin air; it's unbelievable."

Qi Xiao was about to say something when his subordinate came in again and whispered a few words in his ear. He paused for a moment, then stood up and smiled:

"My master has returned to the Six-Tailed Clan. I reckon he's going to hold Xia Feng accountable for going to the Prince's Mansion. Miss Nayuki, would you like to come and watch this good show?"

"No need." Chana Yuki replied calmly without turning her head, continuing to observe the stars. More than Xia Feng, she was now concerned about who these two Sirius stars were!
There were long-standing rumors in the empire that Sirius was both a harbinger of an impending era of chaos and a symbol of unparalleled genius.

If she were fortunate enough to gain the help or friendship of one of the wolves, under the guidance of the Star God, her chances of becoming a Saintess could increase by thirty percentage points, exceeding 90%!

This story actually has two core cheat codes, which are revealed slowly, around chapter 10 or 12.
