Jilted by Day, Cuddled At Night-Chapter 644: Bai Li Arrives Just in Time

The cinema’s roof was actually very sturdy, but at this moment, a large hole had been blown open through the restroom wall, and a fierce Star Beast was holding a girl in its mouth.

Coming to a movie and using the restroom, only to be caught by a Star Beast—this kind of bad luck probably hadn’t been experienced by anyone else.

The girl had already fainted from fear.

And the ones closest to the massive Star Beast were Gu Yan and Vivian.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to run, but rather, they found themselves completely unable to move!

While watching the second girl being swallowed, Gu Yan had already found the information on this Star Beast from her light brain.

"This kind of Star Beast can emit a scent that causes paralysis. Beastmen with stronger spiritual power can endure it. Vivian, can you still move?"

Vivian looked awful, "I can move, but I can’t run."

It was clear that this suddenly emerging Star Beast was no low-level creature. Gu Yan struggled to reach out and grabbed Vivian’s hand, then said to a few other girls who were scared stiff, "Hurry and grab my hand!"

No matter what, she had to use her Spatial Superpower to get everyone out of here first!

Apart from Vivian, Gu Yan didn’t know the others, but since they all happened to come to the restroom at this time... cough, their luck was quite terrible.

One girl, trembling, came over and grabbed Gu Yan’s hand, but the other two girls had been so scared they had collapsed on the ground. They couldn’t even stand up to grab hold!

Gu Yan was conflicted. Should she just abandon them like this? At this moment, a boy wearing an Empire University uniform barged in, shouting, "Xiaoyan!"

"I’m here!"

Gu Yan was overjoyed, but just as she cried out, the massive Star Beast seemed to suddenly take an interest in her. Its huge head came closer; it was a Mutated Hippopotamus Star Beast with a particularly large mouth that emitted an extremely foul odor. Its shiny, vicious teeth were even smeared with blood.

A girl who had fallen to the ground fainted on the spot.

And Gu Yan... was nearly knocked out by the Star Beast’s halitosis!

No, no, no, bad breath wasn’t the point—the point was she was about to be swallowed. If Gu Yan used instant Spatial Transfer, she could probably only take Vivian with her at this moment...

And at this critical moment, a figure suddenly stepped in between the Star Beast and Gu Yan, looking coldly at the beast.

It was Bai Li!

A flash of white light, and everyone present instinctively closed their eyes. Therefore, no one saw that Bai Li merely extended a fist and with a light punch, diverted the massive Star Beast’s jaws.

The bright, ferocious teeth were knocked out by half in an instant!

Star Beast: "..."

A tremendous fear swept through its entire body, and it stopped caring about anything else and turned to run away.

But just as it fled, a loud noise came from outside, along with the sound of aircraft—it must be the Security Bureau’s personnel arriving.

Su Xiaoge had now become the Chief of the Security Bureau. He looked at the massive Star Beast and scoffed, "To even dare to barge in here, you’re really tired of living. Attack all at once, and if it doesn’t turn to ash, consider it my loss!"

An aide coughed lightly, "Chief, this kind of Star Beast is accustomed to swallowing its prey whole, but the prey can survive for a few hours in its stomach; if it swallowed a few people just now..."

If they turned it into ash, then the people inside its stomach would probably become ash as well.

Su Xiaoge furrowed his brow, "Troublesome. Forget it, kill it first, then immediately rescue the people!"

"Yes, sir!"

For the Security Bureau personnel, dealing with this mutated Star Beast wouldn’t take much time, and they quickly extracted the few girls who had been swallowed and sent them straight to the medical center.

And they also promptly notified their families.

Another thing was to ask the people who were present at the scene what had happened, because it was just too bizarre for such a large mutated Star Beast to appear in Central City.

Gu Yan and the others had to be investigated as a matter of routine, but as soon as Su Xiaoge saw Gu Yan in the crowd, he immediately rushed over in strides.

"Xiaoyan, you were there too? Are you alright?"

"Uncle Xiaoge, I’m fine."

Gu Yan had four uncles and her favorite was the one right in front of her, Uncle Xiaoge. The others were either too aloof, making it hard to get close to them, or... a bit clumsy.

Uncle Xiaoge was the best.

Once Su Xiaoge was certain Gu Yan was unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. There was still the matter of investigating the Star Beast, which would keep Su Xiaoge busy, so he quickly said, "Xiaoyan, I’ll have someone take you home."

Gu Yan shook her head. "No need, Uncle Xiaoge, my classmates are here, I’ll go back to school with them first."

"Alright, message me when you get to school."

"Okay."

Su Xiaoge nodded to Bai Li and the others to make sure the children got on the flying vehicle before he turned to attend to his matters.

It was not until she was on the flying vehicle that Vivian finally breathed a sigh of relief. The incident that had just occurred in the bathroom was really terrifying!

The last time Vivian had been this scared was during the encounter with a frenzied Beastman in the alleyway.

She said with a pale face, "Xiaoyan, those girls who were swallowed..."

Gu Yan’s face also looked troubled.

Ji Mu, who was beside her, said, "Don’t worry, that Star Beast didn’t have time to digest them. The security team arrived just in time, and those people were sure to be rescued."

On hearing this, both girls heaved a sigh of relief.

That was for the best.

Suddenly, Gu Yan thought of that flash of white light. She turned her head to look at Bai Li. Although she had closed her eyes at that moment, Gu Yan felt that Bai Li had used the power of the Insect God.

The explanation Bai Li gave to the security bureau when they investigated was that the Star Beast had sensed the arrival of the security bureau’s forces and thus abandoned their prey and fled.

It was eventually killed by the security bureau’s forces.

This version of events was very consistent with the reality as that mutated Star Beast was not something a few kids studying at school could handle, and they had not released their Mechas at the scene.

Only someone like Gu Yan, with a Spatial Superpower, would’ve had a chance to escape.

Therefore, the security bureau’s personnel did not question them further.

After the four students returned to school, they went their separate ways. Then, when school was out, Su Wan found out about the accident that had happened during the day and told her daughter Xiaoyan to come home for the night.

Gu Yan turned to ask Vivian, "Vivian, are you going home tonight too?"

Vivian hesitated for a few seconds before finally nodding her head, "I want to go home today."

"Then I’ll drop you off on the way."

"Okay."

Vivian had previously declined, and Gu Yan did not tell her older brother directly, but had already passed the message to her mother. She also stopped bringing up her brother, which relieved Vivian.

At the same time, though relieved, she also felt a little sad.

Gu Yu was already conducting experiments in the lab, furiously engrossed in his work. He was startled for a few seconds when he received his sister’s communication after school.
