Wen Yao poured cold water on the situation, saying, "No, no, no, the talisman is more practical. Save the kitchen knife for last, okay?"

"That's going too far! Look closely, this is a kitchen knife with a talisman on it."

As Bao Xinbao finished speaking, a bright yellow light burst forth from the top of the cleaver, flickering like a flashlight that sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.

He gazed in the direction of the wind god statue, slowly chanting incantations. The entire hall seemed to echo, a hint of fear rising within them. The sound was not human, but the roar of an indescribable monster.

Tao Yingzhi stared in disbelief at the distorted space in the main hall, as if it were being stirred by a giant hand.

Perception is weak, vision is blurred, it feels like someone is tightly choking me, making it hard to breathe.

The sounds around her faded into the distance, and she could no longer hear them clearly; her consciousness began to waver.

until--

"Calm down, Tao Yingzhi, calm down."

A gentle and peaceful voice pierced through the distorted space and landed in her heart.

Tao Yingzhi shuddered.

She snapped out of her daze and realized everyone's eyes were on her. Was someone behind her?

Tao Yingzhi felt uneasy, but couldn't resist her curiosity and turned her head away in confusion.

Wind, the wind god...?

Dressed in white, with handsome features, he seemed both ethereal and otherworldly. His sleeves fluttered even without wind, ethereal and graceful. He was a figure who had stepped out of a painting. Tao Yingzhi heard her own heart pounding like thunder; she was mesmerized.

If Cheng Pingxi is her idol, then Huo Zijin is her idol.

From a young age, her father instilled in her the belief that the Wind God truly existed and was the guardian deity of the Tao family. In the past, her father would take her into the temple to burn incense and worship. At that time, she was young and could vaguely see the white shadow in the statue.

In a modern world that values ​​science and rejects superstition, these were her personal secrets.

Tao Yingzhi understood that it was Huo Zijin's call that had brought her back to her senses.

She gazed at the man in white with a mixture of nervousness and excitement; his graceful figure was as slender and elegant as snow.

Immediately afterwards, Tao Yingzhi also saw the monster that Bao Xinbao had caught—the one that appeared in her nightmares every night. She screamed and ran behind Huo Zijin.

Strangely enough, she actually managed to run into Huo Zijin!

"Acid and".

Wen Yao leaned out, his expression wicked, staring at Suan Yu with a strange and dark gaze: "You've grown quite bold! You actually dare to harm humans and even want to steal Miss Tao's virgin blood."

He said.

"Smack—"

He slapped Suan Yu hard across the face.

Upon hearing this, Tao Yingzhi's face instantly turned bright red. Thinking back to herself at that moment, she felt ashamed.

"Wen Yao, we are both mythical beasts from the mountains and seas, what right do you have to tell me what to do? Tsk, the Book God of the Mountains and Seas has been gone for so long..."

Before Suan could finish speaking, Wen Yao slapped him again, "Shut up! You're bewitching humans and harming the young! Is this something you should be doing?!"

"Mind your own business! I didn't succeed! You, you can't punish me, and what right do you have!" he said bitterly and resentfully, his lips curling down and a glint of black light flashing in his eyes.

Wu Yue, as if struck by a sudden inspiration, said, "Wen Yao, I read in ancient books that if a mythical beast from the mountains and seas behaves badly, it can be forced back to its original form and allowed to hatch eggs again. Why don't you give it a try?"

She should have realized that Bao Xinbao and Wen Yao were wasting their breath and engaging in sour conversation because they didn't want him to die. Otherwise, given their style, they would have just grabbed the beast and hacked it to pieces.

Each of the deer-like creatures, including the Wenyao and the Fuzhu, possessed a unique badge. Wu Yue didn't ask, but that didn't mean she wasn't thinking about it; the connection between the mythical beasts of the mountains and seas and Yan Chiyu was deeper than she had perceived.

Upon hearing this, Yan Chiyu looked at Wu Yue in surprise, then chuckled softly and said lazily, "The girl I like is indeed knowledgeable and well-read."

Wu Yue waved her hand expressionlessly: "Don't praise me, I'll get shy."

【Oh my god, the witch god is so cute!】

Ever since they confessed their feelings to each other, watching their interactions has made me smile non-stop!
