Master Xu was taken aback, his eyes narrowing slightly. "I don't understand what you're talking about at all."

His encounter with the witch doctor's disciple practicing illusion magic was a matter of luck, but his mastery of illusion magic years later was the result of his own hard work.

It has absolutely nothing to do with the word 'steal'.

There should be no question of returning Wu's property but not returning it.

Su Hua's heart stirred. She had seen the term "shaman" in Chinese history books before, but this was the first time she had encountered a living shaman.

In ancient China, early medical schools were divided into three branches: shamanistic medicine, Taoist medicine, and traditional Chinese medicine.

All three belong to the same origin but have different development paths.

Among them, witch doctors mainly practice prayer and divination. They are skilled in both medicine and supernatural powers. Powerful witch doctors can use special powers to control people and are even involved in witchcraft.

However, as times have changed, true witch doctors have become increasingly rare, while those who roam the world are mostly charlatans with only a superficial understanding of witchcraft.

She never expected that she would see a living, breathing witch doctor's disciple on this trip to the bandit's den.

"You want me to do it for you?" A-Zheng turned on her toes and walked barefoot toward the man step by step, her purple dress fluttering in the wind.

She slowly crouched down, her eyes level with the man's slightly reddened gaze. "If that's the case, then I'll grant your wish."

Having said that, she reached out with both hands directly into the man's pupils.

Master Xu was greatly alarmed.

But his body seemed to be bound, unable to move an inch.

He stared wide-eyed as the girl's hands drew closer and closer to him, then suddenly felt a chill on his eyelids.

A powerful force swept from the corner of his eye into his eye socket, as if it wanted to gouge his eyes out from under his eyelids.

A stream of blood gushed from his eye socket.

"ah!!!"

The man could no longer hold back, and a heart-wrenching scream echoed through the sky.

The bright sky and the crimson flames vanished from sight, replaced by an endless expanse of black.

He was in so much pain that he gripped the ground with both hands, his fingers digging a long and deep groove into it. He looked like a dying rat, and his former glory and triumph were like a flower in a mirror or the moon's reflection in water, nowhere to be seen again.

"No, my eyes! My eyes, what did you do to my eyes? It hurts so much..." The man covered his eyes tightly, and bright red blood spurted from his eye sockets, staining his fingers red. The scar that ran across his entire face looked even more gruesome.

"No, give me back my eyes! Give them back now! I don't want to be blind, please give them back..."

The bandits' eyes instinctively turned cold as over seven hundred pairs of eyes focused on the girl's bloodied right hand.

She actually gouged out Master Xu's eyeballs with her bare hands!

Are they even human? They've clearly picked up a man-eating monster!

Kuroki was so frightened that his crotch got wet.

His cousin was Black Wind Stronghold's secret weapon. Now that he's lost his eyes, how can he use illusion magic in the future?

Are they really going to ruin all the hard work Black Wind Stronghold has put in over the years today?!

A-Zheng threw the pair of eyes in her palm at the man's feet, and then casually wiped the bloodstains on his clothes.

Her red lips moved slightly, her voice calm and without a trace of emotion, "Remember, what is stolen must be returned one day."

Su Hua swallowed silently.

This woman is absolutely stunning!

Compared to that, the short dagger in her hand seemed almost superfluous.

Then, Ah Zheng walked over nonchalantly, raised her chin and pointed in the direction of the black wood, "Little Hua'er, my hands happen to be dirty too, why don't I castrate him for you?"

Su Hua looked in the direction of the sound and saw the man stealthily moving to the side like a silkworm cocoon.

Before she could respond, a whooshing sound rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a snow-white shadow rushed over like lightning, heading straight for him.

Ah Zheng frowned and moved her wrist under her wide sleeve.

He wanted Su Hua to pull him behind him.

But then a girl's surprised voice rang in her ears, "Hey girl! What are you doing here?"

Only then did she realize that the snow-white shadow was actually a large insect covered in white fur.

The white-haired tiger sprawled out in Su Hua's arms, its long tail wagging like a big dog's, and it occasionally growled, clearly overjoyed.

Outside the open space, Xiao Jinhan gazed at the girl in red, her figure shimmering in the firelight, and a single tear welled up from the corner of his eye.

The hands that had been clenched tightly finally loosened a little.

"Hey! The little girl is indeed here..." Old Xue followed closely behind the tiger and the man, and upon seeing Su Hua in the center of the open space and the people lying on the ground, he burst into laughter.

"I knew it! This little girl is so clever and mischievous, how could anything happen to her? Look, she took down all those silly bandits..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Su Hua turned around abruptly and saw Xue Lao and Xiao Jinhan standing at the edge of the open space.

Behind them were a group of people completely shrouded in black.

"Zichen..."

Su Hua stammered, her almond-shaped eyes filled with surprise. Why was he back?

Weren't we going to the Western Rong border?

The distance from Qingshui County to the heart of Daheishan Mountain is hundreds of miles. Even if they returned yesterday, it would be impossible for them to find us so quickly.

She twitched her toes, but the man took a long stride and was in front of her in the blink of an eye.

As they got closer, they could see that the man's body and hair were covered in dew, and his deep, cold eyes were bloodshot, with a hint of scarlet at the corners.

Su Hua suddenly felt a pang of sadness, "Zichen..."

"I am here."
