The cold mist dissipated, and the silvery moonlight pierced the night like countless sharp arrows, cutting through the parched and cracked ground.
The moonlight cast a long shadow on her slender figure, and her loose pajamas swayed back and forth in the wind, which tore at the shadows of the trees. A strong smell of blood filled the air.
Thick, curled eyelashes fluttered like black butterflies, or like long, swaying ears of grain in the night.
The girl rushed toward the source of the bloody smell, licked her lips, and her eyes, as if plunged into a deep abyss, were completely obscured by the hazy mist.
Yan Chiyu.
Yan Chiyu, Yan Chiyu.
She shouted, trying to make a simple interaction, but received no response.
-
The six people returned to the small room.
Yan Chiyu took out a bag embroidered with birds returning at dusk from the trousers he had worn during the day, and pulled out a white fox from it. His long, pale fingers gripped the white fox's neck, and his seemingly casual, lazy eyes radiated an icy chill: "I underestimated you."
"Oh."
The white fox, Aruo, snorted coldly, her narrow eyes narrowing as if mocking Yan Chiyu.
The boy's eyes turned cold, and his fingers slowly tightened. "I never wanted your life."
The implication is that they want it now.
Yan Chiyu might not care, not why the white fox wanted to kill him in his dream. But in Wu Yue's eyes, the white fox was grateful and wouldn't be such a ruthless person. She wanted to delve deeper into the reasons behind this.
"Yan Chiyu, give it to me." Wu Yue stopped him.
The boy glanced indifferently at the white fox, who still maintained a disdainful and arrogant expression, and with a slight flick of his wrist, tossed it to Wu Yue. At the same time, a wisp of pale blue light overflowed from his fingertips, transforming into a light blue chain that bound the white fox, rendering it immobile like a toy caught in a ring toss game at a stall.
Wu Yue carried the white fox out of the house.
Yan Chiyu, still worried, followed him to the door. The door was ajar, and noticing a group of people peeking in behind him, he said casually, "Go to sleep first."
His dark eyes were deep and unfathomable, like a pair of black gemstones kept in a pool of pearls, reflecting a shimmering, ever-changing light. The moonlight streaming down his pupils revealed a hint of coolness, and the overflowing light was like that of a king on a throne, commanding submission.
"……Um."
The crowd nodded weakly.
-
"Yan Chiyu committed suicide, you did it, didn't you? Why? What was your purpose in doing this?" The girl squatted on the ground, casually moved a few stones, and put the white fox among them.
The white fox stared at Wu Yue in astonishment for several seconds, unable to believe it.
The girl seemed to be casually moving the stones, but when the stones were combined, they formed a Bagua (Eight Trigrams) formation.
The white fox was startled.
The thought that flashed through my mind, "This girl seems innocent and should be easy to talk to," vanished instantly...
It's all fake.
Someone who can casually set up a Bagua formation and is so calm and collected, showing no fear whatsoever—could be an ordinary person?
Knowing how powerful Wu Yue was, he hesitated for a long time before finally saying, "Promise me that if I tell you, you will help me. As a reward for your help, I will give you—half of my inner core."
The white fox gritted its teeth in desperation.
It has cultivated for so long that it only has an inner core that lasts for a few hundred years. Once it gives half of it to this human, it will never be able to take human form again.
Wu Yue: ...
"Brother, I'm not interested in your inner core." The girl squatted outside the stone Bagua formation and replied bluntly.
arctic fox:……
[Hahaha, what doesn't I, the God of War, have?]
[Missing your half of an inner core???]
[Witch God: I don't want a single one, thank you]
[Your subject seconded the motion]
