Chapter 815: Chapter 394: Divine God Sacrificial Branch
The Eternal Summer slowly drew near the Purgatory Spirits in the sky. These fire-girl youngsters didn’t react much, and Li Ang took the chance to say to them, "Can you let that kid come onto our ship to rest for a bit?"
The Purgatory Spirits looked at each other. Li Ang noticed that the one who guided them yesterday was among them; she nodded, said something to her companions, and took the lead in moving the Young Girl toward the Eternal Summer’s deck.
The members of the Star Flower Travel Corps immediately dragged out a deck chair, letting the blue-haired Beast eared Maiden lie down securely.
"Yeah, that’s her."
Dorothy, Andasu, and ALulu could confirm that the one who bumped right into them when they disembarked with Zoe that night was exactly this girl.
"We just wanted to say a few words, how did that manage to scare her into fainting?" Zoe stood by the unconscious Young Girl, baffled.
"If someone’s especially timid, maybe it could."
Li Ang himself couldn’t be called particularly faint-hearted, but he remembered that as a child he had a period when he was pretty timid, so he could understand a bit and felt this situation wasn’t impossible.
Imagine: if you’re a kid who already doesn’t dare to go out, one day your parents leave home and leave you all alone, and you want to go downstairs to buy some snacks or popsicles, but end up running into a bunch of strangers looking for you, and then they suddenly drift a van to a stop right in front of you—that really is enough to scare you to death.
Uh, thinking about it like that, he suddenly felt their side was starting to look a bit like the bad guys...
"Why is she brave enough to confront a Star Soul, yet doesn’t dare to talk to people?" Dorothy couldn’t figure it out.
"Maybe she’s the kind who’s especially afraid of strangers?" ALulu guessed.
The girls discussed one line at a time. Firelight flickered around them as some Purgatory Spirits followed them onto the Eternal Summer; because of their connection to the commission target, Li Ang didn’t do anything to them.
If anything, he also had no idea what he should do; he wasn’t sure every Purgatory Spirit could communicate like those three guides.
The Purgatory Spirits flickered curiously around the deck, looking here, drifting there.
Some stared at the Guardian divine Object in a daze, some ran up onto the Ship’s Figurehead and were then startled by the Dragon Transformation crocodile head; one of them was intrigued by the tender branch growing from the ship, but her approach made the leaves start to curl and dry, sparking a bit of Firelight.
Meimei, who had been watching them closely, summoned Water to douse the sparks. That Purgatory Spirit was so startled she bowed repeatedly, then ran off the ship.
"Seriously, could you pay a bit more attention? This is the ship that ensures the growth of the key person who’ll save the world..." The little girl sighed at Li Ang.
"I’ll have to trouble you to keep an eye on things more," Li Ang smiled at her. He wasn’t that nervous; the entire ship had an outer layer of Water Attribute protection, so fire simply wouldn’t catch.
"These Fire Spirits really don’t feel like Undead." Farina said from the side.
Seeing Li Ang look over, she continued, "In ancient ruins, the extremely rare autonomous Spiritual Body you encounter is always formed by the resentment of an entire city gathered together, or it’s a projection left behind by a powerful Mage. There’s nothing like them in the records."
Li Ang had long found them strange; it seemed the problem really did lie with the Star Soul.
As well as this unconscious blue-haired Beast eared Maiden...
Li Ang hadn’t had time to open her status panel yet. Just as he was about to, he first saw Zoe frowning.
"It’s really weird." The chestnut-haired Young Girl said in a solemn tone.
"How so?"
Li Ang leaned in. He noticed that Anna’s expression was just as serious as Zoe’s.
Adding in this Star Soul who looked like a little girl on the surface but was actually a several-million-year-old ancient monster, and her steady bearing, meant Zoe’s reaction really did come from discovering something. It was just that the boundary between Zoe’s fooling around and her seriousness was always blurry, so Li Ang already subconsciously felt she was messing around again.
"Star Soul."
Zoe looked at Li Ang and said, "I think she’s a Star Soul."
Li Ang’s brows creased slightly; he didn’t respond to the Young Girl right away.
Previously, this timid girl had wrapped a branch-staff in Flame to use it as a bow. That action by itself was hard to explain, and it looked very similar to the Purgatory Spirits’ Flames encircling charred bones as they burned.
He hadn’t had time to think it through before, but at this distance now, he could directly use the system to inspect her.

Li Ang’s expression froze on his face, and the girls beside him immediately noticed.
"What’s wrong? Did you find something?"
"I think I get it now."
He let out a soft sigh.
Undead, huh...
The girl before his eyes, strictly speaking, was already dead as well.
No wonder there was that inexplicable sense of familiarity—didn’t her appearance look just like that Magma Statue at her doorstep?
That was her final moment in life, coming home with a basket after shopping outside.
She, like the other Purgatory Spirits, had been preserved by the power of the Star Soul. No—it would be more accurate to say she was the King of this group of Purgatory Spirits. Due to some special reason, her Power had become far more solid than theirs.
She could speak, had a body and warmth like a living person, and her behavior patterns were closer to those of the living.
The panel seemed to explain a lot of information: the Purgatory Spirits’ [Race] column had only "Undead," while this girl before them had three entries.
