Qiu Miao: I am not afraid of anything! [No]

When Gu Wenye saw Qiu Yanping's condition, his heart skipped a beat, and he knew that this was definitely not a normal fainting.

Qiu Yanping leaned over and looked at Gu's mother's pupils. A faint gray line was vaguely visible and not obvious. The gray line is scientifically known as the Liujia line. Qiu Yanping had seen it on Shen Shenzhi not long ago, but the Liujia line in Shen Shenzhi's eyes was much fuller and deeper than the one in Gu's mother's eyes.

It's a nightmare beast. Qiu Yanping withdrew his hand and lowered his eyes in understanding, but his brows did not relax at all, but wrinkled even tighter.

It is very simple to solve the nightmare beast, just like how Shen Shenzhi's trouble was solved, just copy it. However, solving this nightmare beast is not the most important thing at the moment. The nightmare beast frequently attacks the central city. What is the reason?

Nightmare beasts create dreams and absorb dreams, but some of them will do things like absorb dreams excessively, which will eventually cause the dreamer to faint. This is not a big deal for them, but will instead attract people with similar personalities to Qiu Yanping to hunt them down.

In his last life and this life combined, Qiu Yanping had dealt with nightmare beasts so many times that he could count them on one hand, and this life accounted for the majority of them, and all of them happened in the central city. The probability was so high that it could not be ignored.

"How is mother?" When Gu Wenye saw Qiu Yanping stand up, he knew that he had figured out the situation.

"It's a nightmare beast." Qiu Yanping said.

Gu Wenle uttered a soft "Ah" and his eyes widened, "Is it that nightmare beast?!"

Qiu Yanping nodded. Father Gu was a little confused. His two sons were talking nonsense with their future daughter-in-law. He didn't understand anything about his daughter-in-law. "Wait, wait, what's longevity? Why don't I understand?"

"Nightmare beasts are a kind of monster that eats people's dreams." Gu Wenle said. He patted his father, whose eyebrows were almost wavy with tension, and comforted him, "It's okay, Dad. Mr. Qiu has a way. Didn't you mention before that Shenzhi was in a bad mood for a while and was very thin? That was because he was entangled by the nightmare beast, and it was Mr. Qiu who cured him later."

After hearing this, Father Gu blinked his eyes and said "Oh", "So that's how it is..." He nodded, but this was something he had never heard of before. Even with the example of Shen Shenzhi, Father Gu was still a little confused and didn't know how much to believe.

How could there be a monster that specifically eats people's dreams? What can dreams eat? Father Gu was deeply puzzled. He pursed his lips. His wife was more important. He asked, "Does Mr. Qiu really have a way to control this... beast? What does Mr. Qiu plan to do? What can we do to help?"

"It's a nightmare beast." Gu Wenle reminded quietly from the side.

Father Gu: "..."Son, why are you so upset?

Qiu Yanping was doing two things at once. On one hand, he was calculating the possibility of the nightmare beast appearing to attack humans repeatedly, and on the other hand, he was paying attention to the movements of the Gu family. When he heard Gu's father asking him a question, he answered, "Well, just prepare a clean empty room for me."

"now?"

"Yes." Qiu Yanping responded, "Nightmare beasts feed on dreams and damage people's vitality. We can't waste time. The sooner the better."

After hearing this, Gu's father immediately gave orders and asked the servants to prepare quickly and clear out an empty room.

There was a lot of empty space in the general's mansion, so it was not difficult to temporarily clean up an empty room where someone could lie down. Soon, the group moved Gu's mother to the empty room.

"And then?" asked Father Gu.

"Just wait outside." Qiu Yanping said. Gu Wenle understood immediately. He looked at Qiu Yanping with understanding, nodded vigorously, and said, "Okay, I'll be outside."

As he spoke, he pulled his father out, "Don't disturb Mr. Qiu from his work. Let's get out, let's get out."

"???" Father Gu was pulled out by his youngest son with a puzzled look on his face. He looked into the house worriedly, wondering why Gu Wenle was so confident in a stranger who had no blood relationship with him? Although they would soon become family members... but how can I say... when it comes to my daughter-in-law, I still feel more at ease when I see my own daughter-in-law in person.

Gu Wenle's attitude made Mr. Gu suddenly feel that it was not right for him to be so distrustful of others, and he felt guilty for no reason.

Gu Wenle lowered his voice and verbally described to his father what had happened to them at Shen Shenzhi's home that day. Gu Wenle was a good storyteller, and in just a few words he described the circumstances of that day vividly, adding a lot of artistic embellishment, and successfully frightened his father, who was still eager to run back into the house.

Father Gu swallowed his saliva. This nightmare beast specifically attacks those who are afraid in their hearts... Even if he was not afraid of anything before, he was scared now after being frightened by his own son. Father Gu shook his head again. That's not right. How can there be people in this world who are not afraid of anything? Who doesn't have some fear in their heart?

"Mr. Qiu! Mr. Qiu is not afraid of anything." Gu Wenle retorted, his tone full of admiration, almost catching up with the enthusiasm he used to adore his elder brother.

——His elder brother...was attacked by the nightmare beast, cough.

Father Gu choked up, and then he remembered to look for his eldest son, "Where's your brother?"

Gu Wenle looked around after hearing this, and finally his eyes fell on the closed door, "...I didn't see it."

Just when Gu Wenle was explaining the nightmare beast to his father, Gu Wenye and Qiu Yanping were stuck in front of the door. Qiu Yanping wanted to clear them out, but Gu Wenye had no intention of leaving.

Qiu Yanping looked at the man in front of him helplessly and said, "You have seen nightmare beasts before. What if it attacks you again? It is better for me to deal with it alone. It is useless to me."

Gu Wenye shook his head stubbornly. The last time Qiu Yanping's distraction gave the Nightmare Beast an opportunity to take advantage, he would never forget this. What if a similar situation happened again this time?

The Nightmare Beast attacks those who are afraid, but the fear he faced last time no longer exists. He knows that he will not become the target of the Nightmare Beast. Gu Wenye thought of the dream, and the temperature in his eyes rose a little.

He was afraid that he would return to being a useless person who had to rely on a wheelchair to move around, that everything that happened after he met Qiu Yanping was a dream, and that Qiu Yanping would treat him like a stranger who was just an acquaintance, cold and distant. But now he is no longer afraid of these things. He stroked the dark green ring on his fingertips, looked at Qiu Yanping and whispered,

"I know what I'm doing, Mr. Qiu. I won't be a burden to you."

Qiu Yanping choked, frowned, smacked his lips and said, "What do you mean by burden? You know that's not what I meant." He paused for a while and then waved his hand in resignation and said, "Okay, okay, come in."

Gu Wenye curled the corners of his mouth, turned around and closed the door. He walked to Qiu Yanping's side and continued Qiu Yanping's words in a low voice, "Yes, I know. But I promised, and I must do it." As he spoke, he held Qiu Yanping's hand with the ring and kissed him on the lips.

Qiu Yanping's body stiffened, then he suddenly shook off Gu Wenye's hand. The tips of his ears were red as if blood was about to drip out. He muttered, "What are you doing? Two grown men are still so crooked..." He held his own hand, and the places where his fingers were kissed felt like they were hot. He waved his hand in disgust and said, "Stand aside, don't block me." He said vaguely with a hum, while preparing his things.

Gu Wenye looked at the man's almost angry movements and laughed softly. Qiu Yanping's movements became more intense, and the two small plates containing cinnabar and purified water were banged loudly by him.

The golden needles sealed the pores of the eyes, ears, and nose, and the cinnabar drew a fiery red snake line. At the same time as the snake line was drawn, black air suddenly burst out of the woman's mouth. Qiu Yanping shouted, "Go!"

The nightmare beast hiding in the rolling black smoke was pinned down by the peach wood sword and could not move. Qiu Yanping did not hesitate any longer, and the yellow talisman followed closely and flew away. He did not intend to give the nightmare beast any chance to escape, nor would he let himself make the same mistake again.

The black smoke dissipated at the same moment the yellow talisman flew out of his sleeves, and a face that Qiu Yanping was very familiar with suddenly appeared in front of him. Qiu Yanping's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously raised his hand and threw out a long ruler, opening the yellow talisman that was flying towards that face.

Gu Wenye was stunned when he saw Qiu Yanping's sudden change. From his angle, he could not see any changes in the black smoke. He frowned and was about to speak when he saw the black smoke suddenly move and rushed towards Qiu Yanping.

Gu Wenye was shocked, but before he could react, Qiu Yanping lost consciousness and fell down.

He cursed and quickly caught it.

Qiu Yanping was completely unconscious, lying motionless on the ground, as if he had just fallen asleep.

It didn't take Qiu Yanping much time to break out of the dream created by the Nightmare Beast. He was more familiar with the Nightmare Beast than Gu Wenye, and naturally knew where the most vulnerable part of the Nightmare Beast's dream was. It was much easier to break the Nightmare Beast's dream than it was for Gu Wenye to break in without any clue at the beginning.

He opened his eyes with a bit of arrogance. He never thought that he would fall into the trap of the nightmare beast again this time. In fact, this time, the person who smelled the fear was him.

Qiu Yanping calmly dealt with the nightmare beast that was playing tricks in front of him. Without giving Gu Wenye a chance to ask questions, he spoke first, "It's solved."
