Ye Xingyao led the group out of the school gates, watching the bustling Human Alliance base members coming and going, each busy with their own duties, and let out a sigh.
“What a troubled time this is…”
In the past, Satellite City had never experienced such high-intensity supernatural events. Of course, for Ye Xingyao, being busy meant more opportunities to earn merits as a Hunter.
But one thing after another was truly tiring. Just her experiences over the past couple of days could probably fill thirty to fifty chapters of a novel.
Even now, her ankle still ached faintly. This was thanks to her body’s current state, which was different from before. As the Star Elf praised in prophecies, she possessed traits slightly superior to ordinary people—stronger physical constitution, faster recovery—things that weren’t too hard to imagine.
As for how the Human Alliance would handle issues like people’s livelihoods, supplies, or medical care, she wasn’t particularly concerned. Still, when she had some free time, she would occasionally think about it.
She hoped no one had recorded her magic on video. Otherwise, her reputation as “Ye Xin” would become far too famous, and that wouldn’t be good for her.
“Come on, let’s get in the car. I’ll send Fumier back first.”
Ye Xingyao composed herself. After all, in this small team of four girls, she was the undisputed leader and had to shoulder her responsibilities.
Speaking of that little girl Fumier, she always felt a bit guilty. When she had asked Fumier for help, the girl had packed up and followed without any hesitation. It wasn’t until Ye Xingyao had gathered quite a bit of information that she finally asked what needed to be done.
What a good girl!
“Sorry, Fumier. Xiaoyue and I still need to handle something regarding my little sister, so I can’t keep you company.”
Having earned such a level of trust from someone, she was experiencing this feeling for the first time since Yi Shiyue and Hongye Qiu.
Being trusted was quite a stressful thing.
“It’s okay, Sister Xingyao. Fumier is already really happy to be able to help Sister Xingyao. It’s much better than just sitting blankly in the safehouse, right? This… is your little sister?”
Fumier nodded obediently, indicating that she didn’t mind at all.
Unfortunately, these words didn’t soothe Ye Xingyao’s guilt at all—instead, they made her feel even more guilty.
“Yeah, when she wakes up, if there’s a chance, I’ll definitely introduce you two.”
Ye Xingyao extended her index finger, lightly tapped the car’s screen, set the autopilot destination, and pressed the start button.
As for why she didn’t use manual mode…
Her earlier violent Fire Attribute Magic Power hadn’t shown any mercy just because she was a Star Elf or possessed Starlight Magic Power. Her little palms were still red even now.
It felt like touching anything would hurt a lot.
“Mm… I’m a bit jealous of her. Having such an amazing family member like Sister Xingyao.”
Fumier sat in the back seat, hands neatly placed on her thighs. She tilted her head and carefully examined the girl who looked seventy or eighty percent like her sister Xingyao, a genuinely envious expression on her face.
“Me…?”
Ye Xingyao was a little flattered. A former ordinary Half-Elf, now a Hanguang-level Star Elf—she could hardly be called “amazing.” This wasn’t false modesty; as a Hunter, she always had to know her limits and what she was capable of.
“I guess I’m not that amazing…”
But considering today’s situation… maybe she was pretty amazing after all?
At the very least, she could now use Magic Stones to release forms of magic she had never tried before.
“By the way, Xiaoyue, why aren’t you saying anything?”
Ye Xingyao turned her gaze to Yi Shiyue in the passenger seat and asked curiously.
“I was thinking about how you’re going to explain things to your little sister Xingling.”
Yi Shiyue said with a smile, hitting on the issue Ye Xingyao least wanted to face.
“True. Fumier probably doesn’t know about my past either, right?”
Ye Xingyao sighed. No matter what, she would have to face it sooner or later. Who told her to be so impatient and blurt out her little sister’s name right in front of her?
The Magical Girls and Hongye Qiu had always interacted with “Ye Xin” while he was crossdressing. Now that he had truly become a girl, it was an unexpected turn of events. As for Fumier, from the moment they met, Ye Xingyao had already been presenting as female.
And her closest childhood friend and girlfriend, Yi Shiyue, had long accepted her transformation into a girl.
Now, her little sister would also find out that she had become a girl. The identity of “big brother” would be completely erased, replaced by the image of “big sister.” It was overwhelming.
So, did her male identity as “Ye Xingyao” still have any reason to exist?
That identity could be considered practically dead.
“Mm… but Sister Xingyao, don’t push yourself. Whenever you want to tell Fumier, you can explain it to her then.”
Fumier said softly, making Ye Xingyao’s heart melt.
Wasn’t she simply an angel? A Blood Elf? No, she was clearly an angel elf! How could her family dislike such a good kid? They had no idea how lucky they were.
“It’s okay. My past isn’t that big a deal. Before I became a Star Elf, I was a Hunter from the Hunter’s Union. I used to follow Hongye Qiu, who was an Honorary Hunter of the Union, and I barely managed to become a Midnight-level Hunter.”
Ye Xingyao looked around, trying to find a place for her restless hands. But before she could, Yi Shiyue grabbed both of her hands and gently turned her palms upward.
As she spoke, she met the girl’s eyes beside her, saw the playful reproach in them, and smiled sheepishly.
“Oh? A Hunter, an Honorary Hunter… that’s Miss Hongye Qiu, right? I think I’ve heard some elders in my clan mention her. They said she solved something incredible.”
Fumier’s mouth formed a small O in surprise.
So her Star Elf sister had such a background?
“Even the Blood Elves in Xizhou know about her? What exactly did she do back then…?”
Ye Xingyao complained. Her dear big sister Hongye Qiu never talked about the past. Even when drunk, she would just tease Ye Xingyao rather than drunkenly recount old stories.
But that didn’t affect their relationship.
“After going through a series of events and becoming a Star Elf, I never told my sister about the changes I went through. This time, there’s really a lot to explain…”
…
I heard this book might be going to paid chapters soon, but with this quality, Xianxin is a bit embarrassed to ask readers to pay…
So Xianxin has decided to keep it free for a while even after it goes paid, until the end of Volume 1. Thank you all for your support!
This volume is officially renamed: “The Birth and End of the Star Elf Lady.”
