"That aura has really disappeared. Something must be happening now!"
Ming Xing investigated the breath but found no trace of it.
"It has really disappeared. Your Highness can move around in a small area here, but please don't go out for the time being to prevent any accidents." Ming Xing said.
Jin Yi, who had also sensed the disappearance of the aura, finally dared to move his limbs. He came to Ming Xing and said, "What on earth has happened? A powerful Spirit Emperor is lurking here, and he even used the power of his soul to sweep across the entire City Lord's Mansion. He is so unscrupulous and has no intention of concealing anything."
Ming Xing nodded and said with a wry smile, "A strong man of this level is just like this. He doesn't need to hide anything, because no one here can be his opponent."
"But it looks like something happened. The aura came quickly and fiercely, but disappeared just as quickly. It was obviously searching for something, but left after finding nothing." Jin Yi said.
"Well, you're right, that's indeed the case."
"Forget it, let's not worry about it for now. Strong people of this level are not something we can get involved with. Let them be. We just need to watch." Jin Yi said somewhat listlessly.
…
In the room, the little witch's eyes were full of coldness.
"Why not? Who is it?"
The little witch clenched her fists tightly. She only had a few dozen breaths of time, so why did she let Gu Yuan be attacked right under her nose!
"Hmm? What is this?"
The little witch suddenly caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. It was the gray scroll in Gu Yuan's hand.
"Um?"
The little witch frowned and wanted to take the gray scroll out of Gu Yuan's hand, but she couldn't take it out because Gu Yuan held it too tightly.
"Such a familiar smell, this... is this thing!"
Suddenly, the little witch stared at the gray scroll in Gu Yuan's hand with wide eyes. The aura was exactly the same as the aura on Gu Yuan's body.
"Could it be that... this scroll attacked you?"
The little witch stared at the gray scroll in Gu Yuan's hand and wanted to take it down but failed again because Gu Yuan held it too tightly.
"Huh...it really is it! I was wondering why I couldn't find the murderer's scent, it turns out it's in your own hands!"
The little witch was both angry and amused. It was a pity that she was so panicked. After searching for a while, she found nothing. The murderer was in the victim's hands.
"But what on earth could this thing have turned you into this state? And you were actually suffering a soul attack. It seems this scroll must be a priceless spiritual skill with restrictions imposed by a powerful person. You accidentally touched it without knowing it, which is why you did this."
The little witch nodded, thinking that this was the fact.
"Luckily you're okay, otherwise I would have to overturn this City Lord's Mansion. Even if I had to dig three feet underground, I would have pulled him out."
After saying this, the little witch was a little surprised herself.
"I...why would I say such a thing?"
The little witch touched her face and felt a little hot, but she didn't know why.
"I seemed very scared just now. What was I afraid of? Was I afraid that Gu Yuan would die?"
The little witch asked herself. When she talked about Gu Yuan's death, she felt as if her heart was a little uncomfortable, a kind of blocked feeling that made her a little breathless.
"I am...what's wrong with me?"
The little witch was curious about the changes in herself, but she couldn't figure out why.
…
The world was spinning.
Endless darkness.
I have a splitting headache.
This is Gu Yuan’s most profound feeling.
Slowly opening his eyes, Gu Yuan's vision was a little blurry.
"I...what's wrong with me? What happened?"
"hiss……"
Before Gu Yuan could recall what had happened, she only felt a sharp pain in her head, as if her head was about to explode.
“Hmm…”
Gu Yuan exerted force and found that there was a gray scroll in his hand.
Seeing this gray scroll, Gu Yuan's mouth twitched, and he instantly remembered what had happened.
“Cough cough cough…”
After coughing lightly a few times, Gu Yuan felt as if his head was about to explode.
"Gu Yuan, are you awake?"
Suddenly a voice came from his ear. Gu Yuan turned his head and saw the sleepy little witch looking at him happily.
"Girl, how long have I been sleeping?" Gu Yuan asked.
"It's been seven days."
The little witch replied, then stood up and put down the gray scroll in Gu Yuan's hand. She said angrily, "What on earth have you done to deserve such a severe soul trauma? I think you are really looking for death!"
Holding back the feeling that his head was about to explode, Gu Yuan couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "You've been guarding me here all this time?"
"What else? Sister Wan'er is a girl and can't take care of you all the time. I don't trust other people, so I have to come by myself." said the little witch.
"Haha... cough, you talk as if you are not a girl." Gu Yuan said softly.
"Didn't you say we are family? If I don't take care of you, who will?" The little witch pouted and said.
"By the way, what about Yaoyao? I..."
"You don't have to worry about her. A few days won't make a difference anyway. You can go when you're fully recovered. Otherwise, if your soul injury hasn't healed yet, going in would be like seeking death."
"Well, you're right, that's indeed the case. Alas, it's all my fault. I delayed things." Gu Yuan sighed.
"What are you talking about? Do you know that you really scared me to death? I heard your screams just after you left for a few dozen breaths. I almost turned the entire City Lord's Mansion upside down!" said the little witch angrily.
"Haha, this, actually, can't be entirely blamed on me. I didn't know that that thing could hurt my soul so much just by looking at it!" Gu Yuan said speechlessly.
"What on earth did you see that was so powerful?" the little witch looked at Gu Yuan and asked.
"Look, this is the scroll." Gu Yuan said.
The little witch took the scroll and was about to open it, but was stopped by Gu Yuan.
"I'm just traumatized by this thing, and you're just going to open it like that?"
"I want to see what this thing is!" said the little witch with a hum.
"Well, let me tell you what this is. It's actually a soul skill." Gu Yuan said in a low voice.
"Oh, soul skills..."
The little witch muttered it once, then looked at Gu Yuan with eyes gradually widening, "You...what did you say? Is this...a soul skill?"
Gu Yuan looked at the little witch's reaction and couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Yes, this is a sixth-level soul skill, the Dark God Technique, which is what I said I would give you that night."
