Xia Yiqian felt a little displeased when being stared at. How could a decent person stare at a girl's neck?
But apart from liking long legs, Assistant Zhang doesn't look like a lustful person at all, right?
She frowned and lowered her voice, "What's wrong?"
Assistant Zhang's scalp tingled under Xia Yiqian's sinister gaze. He shuddered and immediately came to his senses, explaining hastily, "This morning, everyone had a strange mark on the back of their necks. It couldn't be washed off or scratched off, and it was extremely painful when touched.
Taoist Xuanyi said that these might be traces left intentionally by ghosts, but he didn't know the details.
Is there anything I can do for you?"
Xia Yiqian touched the back of her neck and didn't feel any pain at all. Thinking back to the female ghost that appeared last night, she seemed to suddenly understand something.
"I'm fine. A female ghost attacked me last night and I strangled her to death."
Assistant Zhang: ...The boss is indeed the boss. His way of doing things is different from others.
This understated way of telling the story instantly reduced the other guests to ashes.
"I'm glad you're okay. Do you understand the meaning of these lines?"
As he spoke, he turned around and showed the back of his neck to Xia Yiqian.
If it were any other time, Assistant Zhang's behavior would undoubtedly be seen as a lecherous act by Xia Yiqian, an old antique. But now, there was a reason. Xia Yiqian glanced at the back of his neck and frowned immediately.
There is a blood-red mark the size of a one-dollar coin on the back of Assistant Zhang's neck, with intricate patterns drawn on it. Each stroke exudes a captivating energy that makes people want to immerse themselves in it.
Just at this moment, Zhao Xun and Miranda also came over. They originally wanted to ask about Xia Yiqian's condition, but they didn't expect to see this scene.
Zhao Xun immediately said, "Miss Xia, do you know what this pattern is?"
Xia Yiqian moved her gaze away from Assistant Zhang's neck and looked at Zhao Xun calmly.
"This is the fox clan's stand mark."
Melanda wasn't well-versed in Chinese culture, so she was a little confused when she heard Xia Yiqian say that. "The Hu people? Isn't that your ancient race? Why do they have such extraordinary abilities?"
Xia Yiqian nodded, "Although their innate ability is charm, they also have racial heritage, one of which is this stand mark.
But this must be a very ancient symbol, and not many people know it anymore."
In the era before she fell asleep, the foxes who could use this kind of fox substitute mark were already great demons who had cultivated for thousands of years. The younger generation simply couldn't draw it.
She had no doubt that if the great demons of that era had not survived to this day, this mark would have been lost long ago.
Melanda was dazed and amazed. "Your ancient tribe is truly amazing. You actually have so many strange and bizarre abilities."
Xia Yiqian nodded in affirmation, "Indeed, the Dao Sect has regressed greatly now."
As she spoke, her gaze subtly fell on Taoist Xuanyi, with a hint of regret in her expression.
Zhao Xun, Assistant Zhang: ...
Although they don’t understand your two weird trains of thought, they are sure that the “hu tribe” you two are talking about is definitely not the same thing.
It's hard for these two people to talk about topics that are so completely different from each other without any barriers.
Assistant Zhang looked at Xia Yiqian, "Miss Xia, can you help me remove this mark?"
"Stand Mark", just by hearing the name you know that it is definitely not a good thing. It is probably similar to those things that catch stand-ins before. It's scary just thinking about it.
Before she knew it, a lot of people had gathered around Xia Yiqian's tent, looking at her from time to time without leaving any trace, expecting her to give a positive answer.
However, they were destined to be disappointed. Xia Yiqian answered rather bluntly, "I'm not from the fox tribe, I can't do that."
When Assistant Zhang heard her words, his heart sank to the bottom.
The reason why he was not anxious before was because he was sure that Xia Yiqian was so strong and there would definitely be a way to help him solve this thing. But now he got a categorical negative answer. How could he not be panicked?
"Is there any way to solve it? Should I find a vixen?"
This is a bit difficult. It is difficult for an ordinary person to find a vixen. It also depends on the abilities of Xia Yiqian and these guests.
Xia Yiqian: “Ordinary ones won’t work, you have to find the one that marked you.
Otherwise, all of you will become substitutes for that fox for various reasons."
When everyone heard Xia Yiqian say such heartless words in a calm tone, they suddenly felt a chill down their spines.
Taoist Xuanyi frowned and looked at Xia Yiqian, "Where did you learn about this kind of mark? I have never seen relevant literature before!
We searched the entire Qingyun Temple yesterday and didn't find any foxes or even any living creatures besides us. Are you sure you're not talking nonsense?"
