Bab 209: Ma Yuan

Ellie had a look of surprise when she saw the Starlight crab parched up on Yang Qing's shoulder. Despite its tiny size, its white shiny lustre coupled with its golden radiance made it eye-catching. Its look soon turned from surprise to unveiled greed. 

The Starlight crab was pulled out of its euphoric state when it suddenly sensed a dangerous aura locking on to it. On reflex, it shielded the wisdom pearl of the cyclone arc prawn using one of its claws, as it used the other in preparation for an attack.

On seeing Ellie's unconcealed greed, it firmly clasped the wisdom pearl in between its claws as the other claw grew with a deep golden glow surrounding it as if charging up for an attack. The starlight crab seemed to have misunderstood Ellie's target and thought she was after the wisdom pearl in its possession.
