"Squeak squeak squeak."
However, Chu Feng had still underestimated those Soul-Capturing Worms. They actually disregarded Chu Feng's oppressive aura entirely, and their speed was beyond imagination—they reached Little Fishy before Chu Feng could even get there, and without the slightest hesitation, launched a vicious attack, attempting to burrow into Little Fishy's body and turn her into a puppet.
"Yaya yaya!"
In that moment, Chu Feng was already in a state of utter panic. But what astonished him even more was that, facing those origin-unknown and terrifying Soul-Capturing Worms, Little Fishy showed absolutely no fear. Instead, she jumped up and down in place with obvious excitement.
And the very instant those Soul-Capturing Worms drew close to Little Fishy, a dazzling radiance erupted from her body, shooting outward in every direction.
That brilliance was far too blinding—like a blazing sun had been planted right inside the grand hall, making it impossible for anyone to approach.
Even Chu Feng was pierced by the light so sharply that he could barely keep his eyes open. He was even forced back several steps by the sheer imposing force contained within it.
It was only after he sensed the glow gradually fading that Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes. But when he saw what lay before him, his expression changed drastically.
He was stunned to discover that Little Fishy was not only standing completely unharmed in her original spot, but scattered all around her were dark black objects—they were the Soul-Capturing Worms.
Only now, those once ferocious and terrifying Soul-Capturing Worms had completely lost all signs of life, leaving behind nothing but hollow husks.
"Little Fishy, are you alright?!" Even though the Soul-Capturing Worms were clearly dead, Chu Feng was still worried about Little Fishy. He rushed over, picked her up, and began checking her from top to bottom, head to toe, examining every detail.
Only after confirming that Little Fishy was completely unharmed did he finally let out a long sigh of relief. Then, looking at the dead Soul-Capturing Worms on the ground, he sucked in a sharp breath of cold air and asked: "Little Fishy, tell Big Brother—just now, what was that light that appeared on your body?"
"Huh? Big Brother, you mean the light from just now?"
"I don't know what it is either. But every time Little Fishy sees something fun, it just appears. And then after it disappears, the fun thing is always dead." Little Fishy blinked her big eyes, looking as though she felt quite wronged about it.
"Wow, that's no ordinary feat—this little kid is extraordinary."
"Chu Feng, you've really struck gold this time. I thought this little kid was only good at swimming, but turns out she's hiding such an incredible ability."
"That light just now clearly came from inside her body. It's a power that protects her, and it's extraordinarily powerful. Anything that means her harm gets annihilated by that guardian force."
"Chu Feng, from now on, just keep this little kid with you. You won't need to protect her at all—in fact, you can use her to protect you."
"Anyone who dares to make a move against you, just put this little kid in front of them. Not only will you dodge disaster, but you might even be able to use her guardian power to kill your enemies."
"This little kid is no burden at all—she's an incredibly rare offensive weapon!" Eggie exclaimed with great excitement after witnessing Little Fishy's guardian power.
Chu Feng was no fool; he naturally understood what that light Little Fishy had just emitted was all about. But regarding Eggie's suggestion, he did not agree. Instead, he shook his head and said inwardly:
