The manic red thunder twisted and wrapped around the spear, lingering around the tip of the spear, dyeing the tip of the tree spear an almost incandescent red!

Aurora's smile suddenly took on a hint of madness.

"Give it to us, kneel down!"

She yelled, hurling the spear—

"boom--"

The roaring thunder struck the "Steam Man" at the end of the alley almost instantly, and red arcs of electricity exploded, almost tearing the sky apart for a moment.

The next second, golden flames gushed out, washing over the alley along with red thunder, stirring up a strong wind.

Xingmo raised her wand to resist the strong wind. Beside her, Aurora was quietly floating in the air, as if no one was around.

When the light faded, the brick walls of the alley had turned black, and the broken flesh and blood on the ground had disappeared without a trace.

The Steam Man also disappeared, leaving the place where it had stood empty.

Xing Mo took a deep breath and murmured:

"It's dead?"

Aurora fell back to the ground, her blood-red eyes cold:

"No, it ran away. Haha... If the power of faith wasn't insufficient, we could have directly taken its life. This time, it got the upper hand..."

Xing Mo swallowed her saliva. She knew that what she had just seen was just the tip of the iceberg of Aurora's strength, but even so, the power of that attack was terrifying.

Even a dragon would be shot down from the sky, right?

Xingmo wanted to say something, but the next second, Aurora took her hand and snapped her fingers.

A crimson rift appeared in space, and Aurora and Xingmo jumped in—

"Buzzing—"

After traveling through pure crimson for a few seconds, Xingmo found herself back in the academy dormitory.

"Huh?" Xingmo looked around. "What's going on?"

"It's just a little trick," Aurora clapped her hands calmly, "but don't use it too often, or people will find out."

"Who discovered it?"

Xingmo asked, but Aurora was already sitting on the edge of the bed, patting her skirt.

"It has nothing to do with you." Aurora replied.

"Don't tell me anything..." Xingmo sighed.

"I was worried you'd be scared, huh." Aurora tilted her head.

"Let's not talk about that. You used the power of authority outside this time. Wasn't that a bit excessive?" Xing Mo's voice rose several degrees. "Using the power of authority like that is very dangerous. What if the goddess finds out? You'll be exposed!"

"It's all to save you." Aurora muttered softly.

"Save me... No, wait... Ah..."

Xingmo was stunned for a moment. Yes...Aurora's attack just now was obviously because the "Steam Man" released that curse on Xingmo.

If Xingmo hadn't had time to play the "reverse chord score", she might have exploded like those victims.

Even at the risk of being discovered by the goddess... you're willing to use your own power to save me?

Xingmo stared blankly at Aurora as she took off her uniform, changed into her nightgown, and then went to bed in a depressed mood.

She turned over and covered herself with the quilt:

"Go to bed early and don't explode."

She didn't even climb onto Xingmo's bed, but got on her own bed and turned over and didn't move.

Why did you suddenly become so emotional... Is it just because my voice was a little louder?

No...it doesn't feel right...

Looking at Aurora's lonely little figure, Xingmo felt something touched in his heart.

She neatly took off her robe and uniform, changed into a nightgown, and then threw herself onto Aurora's bed, hugging the sullen little animal from behind.

"Eh!"

Aurora turned around abruptly and glared at Xingmo like a kitten with its fur standing on end.

"What are you doing!"

"I didn't smoke enough last night, let me make up for it," Xingmo smiled and rubbed Aurora's head. "Little ancestor, why are you so angry all of a sudden?"

Aurora glared at Xingmo angrily. After a moment, she tilted her head slightly.

"Why were you protecting me in the alley again? And during the entrance exam too, did I need you to protect me?"

When asked this question, Xing Mo was also stunned.

Yeah... I don't know why... I always subconsciously want to protect this guy...

According to Xingmo's rational answer, the answer to that question is "If Aurora is enraged, she might just destroy half of the academy."

But after spending so much time together, Xingmo didn't think this answer could convince her.

Although this little guy is stubborn, sometimes difficult to get along with, sometimes full of bad intentions, and his mind is full of thoughts about how to usurp the power of the goddess that Xingmo believes in.

But she doesn't seem that bad.

She would stare at the flowers and plants wilting in the rain, would save Alia, who was insignificant to her, and would use her power without hesitation to repel the threat when Xingmo was threatened.

As she thought about it, Xingmo recalled the scene she saw in Aurora's memory: a lonely girl sitting cross-legged on a tall tree.

She gave Aurora a soothing smile and said:

"Because I want to protect you, right? The Saint supports God. Is there any problem?"

After hearing her answer, Aurora was stunned for a moment, then hid her head in the quilt.

She said in a low voice:

"...But I don't want to be protected all the time."

"why?"

“Flowers don’t come in pots.”

As they spoke, time passed, and Xingmo seemed to have returned to the rainy day when she brought Aurora to the North City.

She saw the girl standing at the door of the flower shop, looking at the potted plants in the rain with pity.

Xingmo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. This discomfort came from resonance. She felt uncomfortable for the girl in front of her.

But she didn't even know Aurora.

"..."

Seeing Xingmo's expression change like this, Aurora suddenly smiled brightly:

"Hey~ I was just kidding~ I'm not sad at all, you're so easy to fool, stupid little saint~"

After she finished speaking, she buried her face in Xingmo's chest and hugged Xingmo.

"Sleep, sleep. Don't try to comfort me. I am a god and I won't be sad."

Looking at Aurora who was curled up in his chest, Xingmo sighed and gently rubbed the back of her head with one hand.

My dear, if you want to lie...

At least...don't hold me so tight...

...END...

5) The Gold -Additional Update-

"Three more 'steam man'-related incidents have occurred in the North District, causing panic among the public."

"The cumulative number of missing victims has exceeded 100, and the police are conducting more recent statistics and investigations."

"While trying to appease the public at the crime scene, 'Bell Keeper' Alice Pucht was cursed by North City Police Chief Laura Williams, causing an uproar..."

At the table, Aurora poked her head out from between the newspapers and looked at Xingmo, who was sitting by the stove.

"Your senior was scolded by this fierce woman!"

"I've already seen it." Xing Mo said without turning back.

It was early morning, and the two were in the common kitchen of the college's east tower.

Aurora sat at the table while Xingmo worked at the stove.

This kitchen is prepared for students who want to experience life. They can ask white pigeons to bring ingredients from all over the academy, which can basically meet the requirements of most recipes.

Of course, Xingmo is not the one who wants to experience life, it is Aurora who wants to experience life.

This guy was clamoring to eat the dishes made by Xingmo early in the morning, saying that the breakfast in the college auditorium was not delicious enough and he wanted to eat the one made by his own little saint.

Xingmo had no choice but to cook by herself.

"We can be considered witnesses, having personally proven that the 'Steam Man' really exists."

As Xing Mo spoke, she poured olive oil into the hot pan, then used a knife to cut the white and tender shiitake mushrooms on the chopping board into even pieces.

"That guy is quite resilient. Our little tree spear is equivalent to your five-string magic. An ordinary person would have been shattered long ago." Aurora buried her head in the newspaper again.

"I don't know how he escaped." Xing Mo muttered.

At this time, the olive oil was almost hot. Xingmo used tongs to put a plate of sausages and bacon into the pot, and then poured in the chopped shiitake mushrooms.

"Zizzizi..."

The sound of oil boiling was heard, Xingmo picked up a piece of butter, fried it in the pan, and then began to flip the sausages and bacon.

For a moment, the shared kitchen was filled with aroma, and the sizzling sound of frying made Aurora's hands, which were holding the newspaper, begin to tremble.

She sniffed behind the newspaper calmly and said modestly:

"I don't know either, but it's pretty impressive. It's a little mouse that can parkour. Next time, I'll find a nice day with a clear sky and kill it in seconds."

Xing Mo didn't take Aurora's words to heart. After all, this loli wouldn't be stupid enough to abuse her power in broad daylight.

Even with the blessing of the Cathedral of Saint Auros, she would not do whatever she wanted and expose herself.

Xingmo waved her wand, and a precise wind flow carried two eggs and flew over, which she held in her hands.

She cracked the eggshells neatly and poured them into the pot, then picked up the seasoning bottle and sprinkled some salt, black pepper and chopped parsley to season it.

When the meat was almost cooked, Xingmo placed it on a plate and brought it to the small table in the shared kitchen.

"Come here, little ancestor, the meat breakfast you asked for."

Aurora threw the newspaper aside, and in the blink of an eye, she was holding a knife and fork in both hands, her heart-shaped pupils twitching.

Before she could move her knife and fork, Xing Mo reached out her hand:

"Don't worry."

She pulled out a small jar and scooped out the orange baked beans in tomato sauce, pouring it onto the center of the plate.

In this way, a breakfast with Xicheng District flavor is ready.

Xingmo gracefully took off her apron gloves and sat down opposite Aurora.

She looked up and found that the white-haired loli opposite was looking at her with almost admiring eyes.

"Hmm?" Xing Mo tilted her head.

"Little Saint, you are so great." Aurora's eyes sparkled.

That's not possible... Just making breakfast can tame it? Is there a god that's so easy to deal with?

Xingmo sighed:

"After all, I live alone all year round, and when I have nothing to do, I like to tinker with cooking. As I tinkered, I ended up researching all the food systems on both the Vista Continent and the Yanxia Continent."

Aurora picked up a sausage with a fork with a look that was almost longing, and swallowed it in one bite, making a mouthful of grease.

"Delicious!" Her eyes lit up with joy.

It’s not the first time I’ve eaten it, why is it getting more and more exaggerated... Xingmo complained in his heart and aimed at the runny fried egg on the plate.
