Barrier?
Qiqi covered her forehead; the barrier in the dream had actually made her bump her head and hurt.
Qiqi reached out her hand, her fingertips lightly touching the barrier, and an invisible ripple spread out before her eyes.
She tapped her finger again, and a slight sound came from the barrier, with a golden swastika symbol faintly emanating from it in the light.
With both suppression arrays and barriers, what exactly is in that well?
Qiqi stared blankly at the barrier, resting her chin on her hand, her little brain racing as she tried to find a way to break it.
Just as I was about to give it a try, I heard a knock on the door.
Knock on the door?
Qiqi was startled. She turned her head and suddenly lost her footing. The sudden weightlessness made her struggle and wake up abruptly.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I heard urgent knocking on the door.
Qiqi turned her head and looked out the window. It was still dark. Usually, her parents would never disturb her when she was sleeping, nor would they let anyone in the family disturb her. Who would be knocking on her door in the middle of the night?
Qiqi threw off the covers, stuck out her little bottom, jumped off the bed, and ran to open the door.
Outside the door, Huo Fei looked anxious. "Miss Qi Qi, please go and save my young master!"
"Brother Xiao Jiu? What's wrong with him?" Qi Qi was puzzled, but she didn't delay. She turned around, ran back to get her little bag, and said to Huo Fei, "Let's go, take me there to see him."
Huo Fei quickly led her back to Huo Yusen's bedroom.
In the bedroom, the five-year-old boy was curled up on the bed, his face as pale as paper, cold sweat soaking his temples, his fine white teeth biting his lower lip so hard that he wouldn't let go even when it was bloody.
"What happened?" Qiqi rushed over and reached out to grab Huo Yusen's wrist, wanting to see what was wrong with him.
Huo Fei's exclamation followed immediately, "Miss Qi Qi, don't touch the young master!"
"What?" Qiqi paused, turned to look at Huo Fei, her eyes sharper than her age.
Huo Fei felt a chill run down his spine, and forced himself to say, "When the young master is not in his right mind, he will attack anyone who gets close to him indiscriminately, so..."
Qiqi: ……
That's it?
"Don't worry, Brother Jiu can't hurt me." After saying that, Qi Qi walked to the bedside under Huo Fei's worried gaze and quickly grabbed Huo Yusen's wrist.
On the large bed, the little boy, who was in so much pain that he was barely conscious, instinctively took action.
His eyes snapped open, but strangely, his pupils only had whites and no black.
He flipped Qiqi's wrist, which was being held by Qiqi, and ran his fingertips across Qiqi's wrist pulse.
In that instant, a chilling, sharp feeling washed over me.
Qi Qi frowned, and as she withdrew her wrist, she tapped Huo Yusen's wrist with her fingers.
If an ordinary person were hit like that, they would have been in so much pain that they would have collapsed and lost their strength.
But Huo Yusen seemed oblivious, and his attack became even more ferocious as he reached out with his fingers to grab Qiqi's neck.
His fierce expression made it seem as if he would break the little girl's slender neck the moment he grabbed her.
"Miss Qiqi..." Huo Fei cried out in fright, trying to step forward to stop her.
When Huo Yusen was unconscious, even he and Huo Yong working together might not be able to defeat him.
Unfortunately, Huo Yong was away tonight, leaving him all alone.
He was forced into this situation and had no other choice but to go to Qiqi to see if she could help the young master.
But if Miss Qiqi gets into trouble because of this, not only will the young master and the Ji family not let him off the hook, but he himself will also feel guilty to death.
"Don't come any closer!"
Qiqi's sweet, childlike voice was cold and deep. After giving a reprimand, she raised her hand with a tense expression to block Huo Yusen's attack.
With his other hand, he swiftly pulled seven silver needles from his bag and, with a flick of his wrist, inserted them into seven acupoints on Huo Yusen's body.
Huo Yusen, who had just been radiating murderous intent, suddenly rolled his eyes and fell back onto the bed with a thud.
Qiqi glanced at him with a serious expression, her arms hanging at her sides trembling slightly involuntarily.
She felt like her arm bone was almost broken when she blocked the attack.
Most importantly, just now, she seemed to sense a demonic aura emanating from Huo Yusen.
It was very faint, and only for a moment.
When she tried to capture it again, the demonic energy had vanished.
It was so fast it seemed like her imagination.
Qiqi frowned as she looked at the little boy lying quietly on the bed.
He was wearing silk plaid pajamas, and his messy hair was damp with sweat and clung to his forehead.
His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, and his eyes were tightly closed. If it weren't for the steady rise and fall of his chest, one would have doubted whether he was still breathing.
Seeing Miss Qiqi staring blankly at her young master, Huo Fei couldn't help but step forward and ask softly, "Miss Qiqi, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Qiqi shook her head, not mentioning the demonic energy. "Uncle Huo Fei, you can go out first. I'll take care of Brother Xiao Jiu here."
"But..." Huo Fei was still a little worried.
"Don't worry, with me here, Brother Xiao Jiu will be fine."
Huo Fei then turned and left, considerately closing the door behind him.
As soon as he left, Qiqi immediately grabbed Huo Yusen's hand, circulating her spiritual energy along his meridians to search for traces of demonic energy.
But after searching around, I couldn't find anything.
Apart from a small amount of residual malevolent energy, no trace of demonic energy could be found in Huo Yusen's body.
Strange, could it be that she just emerged from the dream and her perception became distorted?
Never mind, saving Brother Jiu is the priority.
Qiqi put her doubts aside and fed Huo Yusen a Hunyuan Pill, using her spiritual power to guide the medicinal properties of the pill to permeate his limbs and bones.
Then she took out silver needles and performed acupuncture on him.
After the procedure, Huo Yusen's complexion visibly improved, and his furrowed brows relaxed.
Qiqi wiped the sweat from her forehead, and her expression relaxed.
Huo Yusen's condition was strange. He was in excruciating pain and unconsciousness all over his body because of a sudden attack of evil energy that invaded his meridians.
However, the malevolent energy on his body had been greatly reduced by her daily acupuncture treatments, and with the amulets and magical artifacts she had given him, this situation should not have occurred.
Moreover, the room showed no signs of malevolent energy or sorcery, making it impossible for anyone to have tampered with it.
What caused Huo Yusen's violent attack due to the malevolent energy within him?
The identity of Qiqi is unknown.
Waking up in the middle of the night, not having had enough sleep, and exhausted from using up a lot of spiritual energy, she had no time to think and simply lay down next to Huo Yusen and fell asleep.
The next morning, Huo Yusen opened his eyes and was stunned for a moment when he saw the little girl sleeping soundly by the bedside.
He only remembered that he was sleeping last night when he suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body, and then he knew nothing more.
Could it be that Huo Fei called the little girl here?
Little girl, did you take care of him here all night?
It was like a warm current, silently flowing into Huo Yusen's cold heart.
A gentle caress landed on the little girl's cheek, the ticklish sensation startling Qiqi from her deep sleep.
The little girl opened her big, dark eyes in a daze, and the moment her gaze met Huo Yusen's, she grinned and broke into a sweet smile.
"Brother Xiao Jiu, you're awake!"
