Chapter 68. Inexplicable Nervousness
“After all, both of them have a marking relationship with you. On the eve of a spiritual entity’s birth, a Sentinel will experience a series of bodily discomforts. Although I don’t know what it’s like for a Guide, I imagine it’s much the same. Let them know and prepare in advance; it’s better than being caught off guard if something happens.”
Su Tang nodded.
“I’ll have a good talk with them after I go back.”
“I’ll give you some tonic potions. If you feel uncomfortable during the mission, take them directly. I remember the mission is the day after tomorrow. I suggest you practice controlling your spiritual power well these few days.”
An Se slowly stood up from his chair. The tingling in his inner thighs had not yet receded, and his first step was a bit stumbling. An Se stood in place, waiting a moment to suppress the discomfort before slowly walking to the cabinet.
He opened it and took out a whole box of potions. The little fox considerately trotted over from Su Tang’s arms to An Se’s legs, taking the box in its mouth and delivering it to Su Tang’s hand.
After Su Tang took the box, the little fox tilted its chin slightly, acting cute to win her favor.
At the critical moment, it still had to rely on itself. Its incompetent master was truly useless. It was just a bit of contact with a Guide’s spiritual power; even the little fox didn’t find it that hard to endure, yet a grown man couldn’t handle it. How would he enjoy any benefits in the future?
The more the little fox thought, the more dissatisfied it became with its master. Feeling Su Tang’s gentle stroke on its head, it waited until the stroking stopped, then exerted force with its front legs and jumped to Su Tang’s side to curl up comfortably, lazily licking its fur.
“…”
An Se felt the sensations coming from his spiritual entity and couldn’t help but grit his teeth. The spiritual entity and himself were one; he naturally knew the little beast’s thoughts. It really was just as Ya Suo described—this little beast was becoming more and more lawless.
Perhaps he should lock it in the Spiritual Sea for a few days to let it reflect.
By the time Su Tang returned to the dormitory, the sky was already dark. Just as she finished storing the tonics from An Se, her wristband received requests from Mo Xiao and Zhan Ye one after the other, both wanting to come to her dorm to discuss mission-related matters.
Su Tang shrugged and simply invited them both over together.
She took a nutrient solution from the cooler and finished it. Just as she put the empty casing into the recycling bin, a knock came at the door. Opening it to see Mo Xiao and Zhan Ye standing there together, Su Tang fell silent.
With this speed, it was hard not to suspect that these two had been squatting nearby specifically waiting for her news to make their move.
“I thought today would be some private time for just me and Sister. I didn’t realize Sister invited Mo Xiao too.”
There was an intentionally feigned sense of disappointment in his voice. Su Tang couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.
“Alright, we’re all going on the mission together anyway. Since we’re discussing mission business, isn’t it more efficient to do it together?”
Su Tang stepped aside and welcomed them in.
There were two single sofas and one double sofa in the living room. Upon entering, the two of them each took a single sofa, both wearing cold expressions.
Su Tang’s lips twitched. As she sat down on the double sofa, the Silver Wolf and the Golden Eagle rushed toward her one after another.
The Silver Wolf jumped into her lap, and the Golden Eagle was not to be outdone. Seeing the two little fellows fluttering fiercely in her arms, Su Tang placed one on each side of her. To her surprise, these two little entities mimicked their masters, looking at each other with distaste and turning their backs, appearing quite angry.
“Alright, if you two keep this up, then everyone can leave. I don’t think we’ll reach any conclusions today.”
As soon as she said this, Mo Xiao was the first to react.
“How were the test results?”
Su Tang recounted everything An Se told her, including his judgment of her spiritual power grade.
“A Spiritual Core?”
Zhan Ye exclaimed in shock, snapping upright with wide eyes.
“I thought only Sentinels dealt with that. Does that mean, Little Beauty, you’re about to birth your own spiritual entity?”
Hearing this news, the Silver Wolf and Golden Eagle sitting on either side of her could no longer sit still, their little wings and tails wagging rapidly.
Meaning, the fragrant and soft little human was about to give birth to a similarly fragrant and soft little spiritual entity to play with them?
Zhan Ye calmed his excitement, but in its place surged endless worry.
“But we’re leaving for the mission the day after tomorrow. One shouldn’t face too much interference on the eve of a spiritual entity’s birth. We’re going to the Abyss—the home of those things. That place is chaotic. What if your Spiritual Core gets overstimulated?”
Zhan Ye’s words hit like rapid-fire, his hands unconsciously clenching into fists until his knuckles turned white.
Su Tang was currently in the critical period of imminent spiritual birth. Any slight interference could lead to irreparable consequences.
Mo Xiao’s reaction was calmer than Zhan Ye’s. Although he was shocked by the news, he focused more on what Su Tang said about her active spiritual power potentially attracting other contaminants.
If possible, he would disagree with Su Tang joining them, but the mission list had already been submitted.
Mo Xiao frowned deeply. It seemed this mission was not suitable for Su Tang to accompany the Sentinels outside like last time.
“Did An Se say what kind of reaction you’ll have during the core’s maturation?”
Both Mo Xiao and Zhan Ye were experienced in this, but they were experts in Sentinel spiritual birth. When it came to Guides, they were completely in the dark.
“Right, right, Little Beauty, did that guy An Se say what to look out for? When my Golden Eagle was born, it tormented me for a whole week. I was groggy the entire time. Did An Se tell you what might happen when a Guide gives birth?”
Zhan Ye had already heard from Mo Xiao that Su Tang had selected him as her exclusive Sentinel, so he had to prepare for these aspects in advance.
“He didn’t say much. He just said I might have some physical discomfort and gave me a lot of tonics.”
Seeing the two Sentinels in the room with locked brows and heavy hearts, Su Tang couldn’t help but smile.
“Alright, I’m not even worried myself, so don’t be nervous for me. An Se only said the entity is tending toward maturity. I don’t believe my luck is so good that it would be born right in the middle of the Abyss.”
Despite her words, Mo Xiao and Zhan Ye couldn’t help but worry.
The two of them went over the action plan in detail once more. When they left Su Tang’s dorm, their brows hadn’t relaxed much.
Affected by them, Su Tang also started feeling nervous. She had just taken a nerve-soothing potion from the small medicine box given by An Se when her wristband emitted the rhythmic sound of a call request.
Translator’s Note: Poor Mo Xiao and Zhan Ye! They’re already stressed about the S-Class mission, and now they find out their Guide is basically “pregnant” with a spiritual entity. In this world, the birth of a spiritual entity is a very draining process.
