A Star Reborn: The Queen's Return

Chapter 883 - Planet Guardian



“He was probably starving because he did not chew on the man before swallowing him. The surrounding travelers fled the scene. Only our Xia Family ancestor looked at him in shock and wonder.

“After he finished eating the body, he looked up at the Xia Family ancestor.

“Only then did the ancestor see that his teeth were densely packed. Unlike normal people, they were sharp and closely resembled a carnivorous beast’s teeth. He could easily rip a person into shreds. His hands and feet also looked like a beast’s. He had many characteristics of a beast such as his strength and sharp nails that were like blades.

“He was covered in the blood of the dead man he just ate. His eyes were fixed on the ancestor. Oh yes, his eyes were also a pale amber like a beast’s.

“He charged at the ancestor as if he was about to kill him.

“Our ancestor had already prepared for a battle but did not expect that the man would suddenly fall on the ground, scream, and roll around in pain.

“The ancestor stood still and considered if he should help him out. Although the Xia Family was a family of preceptors and were more self-disciplined than ordinary people, we could not easily intervene in the affairs of ordinary people. Just as the ancestor was making up his mind, that young man struggled to sit up and did something that shocked our ancestor. He scratched himself with his sharp claws, opened up his stomach, and the undigested body parts of the man he just ate flowed out. Body parts and broken internal organs were everywhere.

“They all flowed out like minced meat. There was also something gold that looked like an animal’s bone or fossil. Until now, no one knows what it is.

“After all the meat, internal organs, and that golden thing flowed out, that young man felt better. He stopped groaning in pain and took deep breaths as he sat on the floor. After that, he looked up at our ancestor again.

“Our ancestor had already taken out his weapon that he carried with him. He was not afraid of beasts, robbers, bandits, or even an army. However, this man who could eat a person without blinking and tear up his own stomach gave him the chills. He looked at the man seriously.

“After tearing open his abdominal part, although the man did not die, he was very weak. He gasped for air like a beast and said to the ancestor, ‘I need your clothes.’”

“He seemed to have a hard time speaking. He had a very strong accent and almost couldn’t be understood. The strange thing was that the people in the Xia Family traveled widely and the ancestor was the 37th Preceptor. He was very knowledgeable. How could there be an accent that he did not know about in this world?

“The ancestor became even more curious. He took off his clothes and threw them at the man.

“Initially, he thought that the man would use his clothes to wrap up his abdomen wounds. To his surprise, that man tore off the cleanest and softest part of his clothes and carefully wrapped up that strange golden bone or fossil from his wound.

“That originally violent man seemed very gentle when he was wrapping that thing.

“Our ancestor curiously looked at him and asked, ‘What is that?’

“He looked up in an instant and there was a murderous look in his eyes that was more terrifying than before. Our ancestor had no doubt that if he were not injured and could move, that man would have killed him.

“Our ancestor took two steps back to show that he had no ill intentions.

“Only then did the man lower his head and carefully placed the thing he wrapped up near his hand. He used the remaining cloth to wrap his wound. Once he was done, he held the wrapped bone in his hand. It was obvious that that thing was very important to him.

“Our ancestor could not suppress his curiosity and asked, ‘What happened to you just now? Why were you suddenly in so much pain?’

“‘I ate... something wrong.’ That man’s voice sounded a little foreign but became smoother in the span of a short sentence. ‘I need food.’

“Our ancestor sized him up carefully and thought about what he meant when he said that he ate something wrong. Could it be that the man’s body was not suitable for him? It seemed that he did not usually eat people.

“Our ancestor said, ‘I can give you food. However, you must tell me what you are.’ He did not believe that the man in front of him was completely human. Since when would a human rip another human apart? Furthermore, he had such sharp teeth and claws and his eyes were amber... They were not characteristics of humans.

“Only then did the man look seriously at our ancestor. ‘You’re not afraid of me.’ He said firmly.

“Our ancestor smiled and said, ‘The Xia Family has never been afraid of anyone.’

“The man lowered his head. Suddenly, he became violent again and charged at our ancestor! However, this time, he fell in midair. His wound broke open and his intestines and blood flowed out again. He passed out on the ground.

“When he awoke, he realized that he was lying on a bed. The first thing he did was to get up and look for that bone-shaped fossil. He did not care that his movements were too rough and his wound broke open again. ‘You touched it!’ He glared viciously at our ancestor who was beside his bed.

“When he was sleeping, our ancestor opened up the thing he wrapped because that gold bone fossil was really special and our ancestor tried to figure out what it was. God gave the Xia Family very different abilities and thus, it was our duty to observe the world, record history, and remember everything special for the future generations.

“Our ancestor did not hide it from him. ‘Take it as your payment for me rescuing you.’

“The man still gave him a murderous look. After a long time, he finally said, ‘You’re the guardian of the planet.’”

“What?!” Xia Ling was shocked the most by this. “The guardian of the planet? I didn’t hear wrong, right? He said ‘planet’?!” Oh my god, that was four hundred years ago! What sort of era was it? In any case, it was not now! How could anyone know things that had not been discovered yet!

“You didn’t hear wrong.” Xia Moyan said, “Four hundred years ago, our ancestor wrote the word ‘planet’ clearly in his journal.”

Xia Ling drew a cold breath. “Could it be that... Wei Lingnan is an alien?”

Xia Moyan did not deny that possibility. “I will continue telling you the story. Our ancestor did not understand what he meant by ‘guardian of the planet’ and asked him, ‘What is that?’

“The man sneered and said contemptuously, ‘What an uncivilized place. Even the guardian of the planet is so ignorant and weak.’ After that, he refused to say another word.”
